NATION TO AID GOLD HUNTERS.
Transport VIII Be Sent to Bring the
Penniless from Nome.

Washington, Sept. 3.-At a meeting
of the cabinet the administration de-
cided to send a transport to Cape
Nome, Alaska, to bring away the sew
eral hundred or thousand gold hunters
who are stranded there. 1t is be-
lieved that most of those who rushed
into the great gold district last spring
have been disappointed; that they will
require help to get back to their homes,
and that if this help is not forthcom-
ing there will be carnival of crime
ana death at Nome during the winter.
Clothing and food will also be taken
to the Alaskan Indians, who are re-
ported to be stricken by plague and
starvation. The transportation com,
panies, it is claimed, refuse to aid the
unfotrunates at Cape Nome. Winter
Will come by the end of September,
and the transport, in order to effect
relief, must go at once. The miners,
1t is reported, have gathered for their
own use nearly all of the drift wood
which the Indians have been accus-
toned to depend upon for their win
ter fuel, and in some instances the cab
ms of the Indians have been torn down
by the miners and the wood used by
them regardless of the suffering In

tween Corbett and Mccoy was won
by the former in the fifth round, Nc

signs Of weakness when the gong
sounded.
Following is the decisive round: The
Kid stepped in with the left to the
face. He tried a right swing but
missed. Mccoy rushed again, but Jim
put right and left to the head. Jim
tried left for the head but they clinched
and broke at the reIeree's bidding. Nc
Coy was now in Jim's corner and Jim
tried a left swing under which the
Kid ducked. Mccoy jabbed his left
to the face. Mccoy again got into
Jim's corner. Corbett smothered Nc
Coy with rights and lefts on the body
and head.
The kid" was thus made unable to
defend himself and simply crossed his
arms under his face. Corbett then see-
ing that he had Mccoy at his mercy,
drove a hard left to the stomach,
which doubled Mccoy in two, Mccoy
holding on to Jim's left glove. Jim
then planted hard right over the
heart which sent Mccoy staggering,
and Corbett following quickly, sent an
other left to the same spot and Mccoy
went to the floor. While the referee
was counting the ten seconds Mccoy
struggled to regain his feet, but he
was counted out before he could

HOLLAND Is A GREAT CRAFT.
Test Proves Her To BE a Dangerous En-
envy for Man-Of-War.

Newport, r. l., Sept. 3.-After dark
the torpedo boats Morris and Rodgers
and the submarine boat Holland were
sent outside the breakwater to make
a test of the Hollands usefulness. The
boats were to make an attack and the
tug Leyden was to pick them out with
the searchlights. The Leyden found
the torpedo boats at will, but after the
Holland had plunged under water she
was not seen again until she was
found at her dock.
The Holland approached near enough
to the Leyden to fire torpedo and then
went within a short distance Of the
cruiser New York without detection.
The big cruiser could easily have been
sunk by torpedo from the Holland.
The test proved the submarine boat
to be the greatest thing in the Ameri-
can navy.
