The ubiquitous De Wet seems again
to have gotten away. and so far,
there is no news that the captured

No attempt is made to conceal the
extreme irritation made by the adop-
ton of resolution of sympathy with
Mr., Kruger by the French chamber
of deputies The morning papers are
unanimous in declaring that no inter
vention of any kind will be allowed
to change British policy.
The Daily Mail publishes an inter
view with Mr.. Zietsman, Ioyalist
member of the Cape assembly. who
is now in England as a delegate Of
the vigilance committee Mr. Ziets-
man admits the gravity of the situa-
ton, but says he does not fear a gen
eral rising, although he thinks it may
be necessary to send troops into the
most disaffected districts, Graef
Reinet, Ssellenbosch, Worcester and
Parrl where mob riots are likely to
occur. He advocates the proclama-
ton of martial law and expresses the
opinion that 1.-The only thing which
prevents rising is the lack of arms
and ammunition
The Morning Post. reviewing the
situation, says: The surrender at
De Wetsdorp looks still worse in the
light of the suggestion that proba-
bly, half the towns we have garri-
soned in the territories of the repub-
lies are in no better situations to re-
sist attack"
The Standard describes the disaster
as "deplorable, unaccountable. and,
at the present juncture, doubly un-
fortunate"

San Francisco, Nov. 30.~Nine peo-
pie were killed and fully 30 badly in-
jured by the collapse of the roof Of
the Pacific glass works. on Fifteenth
street, while Il was tsowdcd with
men and boys watching a football
game on the field adjoining. About
- people fell through the roof upon
the red hot furnaces and glass watts
below. All were horribly burned,
and It Is feared that in addition to
the nine deaths reported there will
be several more.
The dead:
j. \. AIulreoney
w. II. Eckfeldt.
Edgar Flahein.
r. J. Rippon.
William Valencia.
NJ Yandina.
Three unidentified.
TaIlyrand Barnell.
Carroll Hold.
Frank Newly.
Fox
Eighty-two persons, more or less In
jured, have. been taken to the various
hospitals or removed TO their homes.
The victims were watching foot
ball game between the Stanford and
University Of California teams, when
the roof beneath them gave way.
Some of them fell on the furnaces
and one man of unknown identity
was burned almost to a crisp.
There were about 200 people on the
roof when it collapsed. and Of these
about "a went through. Those who
were fortunate enough to be on n
solid section of the building hurried
down and helped remove the injured.
The heat around the furnaces was so
great. however, that to some of the
victims no assistance could be rem
dered, and they slowly roasted to
death. Not 200 yards away were
about 10000 people, watching the
football game, and when the news
became known there was intense ex-
element among them. The ushers
went through the crowd calling for
doctors, and many surgeons hurried
ly left the game. The living victims
of the disaster We're taken to some
of the different hospitals and nearby
drugstores.
The coroner did not have enough
wagons TO remove the dead and they
were taken away in express wagons,
Many private carriages were waiting
outside the football grounds, and
these We're pressed into service to
take away the wounded
SO far as known this list comprises
all the dead, as the first reports were
exaggerated. It is reported that one
man, Joseph Gumper, fell into the
furnace and his body was inciner-
ated.
The manager of the glass works
realized the danger before the acct
dent occurred and had sent for the
police to compel the crowd to leave.
Just as a squad of officers arrived
from the city hall the roof went
down.

NO MORE TIN FLUEs.

The city council met last night and approved the minutes of the last meet ing held on February 18th. which was the first meeting for some months. But the council when it did manage to get together did some important work. It took up the question of defective nues and iecided that after September lst there should be no more "tin hues'' within certain limits; and it al,o took action in regard to certain public nuis- anc,.s and sidewalk obstructions. As to defective aues a very satisfactory report was made. Everyone promised to to'- low out the instructions of the fue in- spector. It makes difference, having the law behind it, as the council now has, and in the future what it decides will have to be done.

AUTOMOBILES FOR DAWSON,

50 many people have described the present winter trail to Dawson as q bi- cycle path in the columns of the DAILY ALASKAN, that the number of men landing here with bicycles which they hope 10 ride to Dawson has grown very numerous. But that the route is prac- tlcable Is shown by the number who have made quick time Out this winter on wheels.
 And now upon these reports, there is to be a test made on the trail of aut> omibiles. This is backed by large cap ital, and if this first venture proves a success there will be no more horses necessary and the new motor may com pete with navigation and even with the railroad.
 Iu another column will be found a re. port feom the Vancouver Advertiser ot the arrival there from Havre. France ot an automobile and motor cycle. The r.. Janne de Lamarre mentioned is one Of the largest mining spectators Of Atlin and Dawson. ard he is also large ly interested in Atlin req! estate. Al the Crown sale by auction of Atliu City lots he bought DO less than sixty. He. more than any other man has boomed Atlin in Paris and has established and edited an Illustrated magazine there entitled Klundike Revue" He k ac- companied by F. Crom. his private sec retary, and Ralph Merville, his brother in-law. who has made an automobile record.
 Both men are interessed in the man ufacture Of automobiles, and have any amount oi capital behind them, so that |, is possible that the automobiles will monOpolize next winters travel and freight traffic, and that its success may lead the manufacturers of the machines to build a highway to Dawson for sum mer travel.

A LITTLE ENTERPRISE.

Alasla'S representative in Washington, Mr. J. c. Price. has written 10 the cham her of commerce his last report from that point. but this letter. the secretary Of the chamber has decided, must not be pub lished until it has been read to the chamber at its meeting on Wednesday next. In his las, report to the chamber Mr. Price stated that his own affairs would neeeSSitate his leaving the halls Of congress for his home carly in March, and this would of course tut off Skagwav from any further reports upon the progress Of Alaskan legislation at the clpiil. ThiS too, at the most erit' ital period when the committees are bring ing in final reports, and the action oi the two houses upon the reports may be eN' pected a, any hour.
 To oe without any direct news from Washington at just such time would have been a serious depriVation to the read-rs Of the DAILY ALASKAN, only re- gently awakened ,o the possibility of con gresSional action. So the management, immediately upon reeeip, of the informa- ton tha, Mr. Price was coming home, ap- pointed a special correspondent at Wash ingion to watch Alaska legislation and to keep the DAILY ALASKAN fully posted upon every movement of importance In regard thereto.
 lt happens luckily that the same mail which brings the letter from Mr. Price to the chamber of commerce which we are unable to obtain for publication for some days. also brings the first letter from the special correspondent. Upon receipt Of his appointment he naturally first sought Mr. Price for information, and caught that gentleman just as he was packing away his dress suit preparatory 10 leaving for AlaSl<a.
