OFFICIAL REPORT ON alaska
SUBMITTED BY GEN. RANDALL.
Conditions ut Nome Are Particu-
Chances Are SmnIl-ThinlSs 1t
Rich Country-Much Suffering This
Winter.

ashington.-Brgadier General Geo.
Nj. Randall, commanding the depart
ment of Alaska, under date of Septem-
Der, at St Michael, has submitted his
annual report. Much space is devoted
to conditions at Nome which he found
upon his arrival at critical stage. 1t
was difficult to obtain convictions by
jury trial in the United States commits
sioner's office, which emboldened the
lawless. Fully $4,000 people arrived
at Nome in June. Claim-jumping was
the order of the day. Many property
owners were disposed to defend their
rights by taking the law into their own
hands. The arrival of troops prevented
serious disorder.
The military took charge, thoroughly
examined into all complaints and
where the right of property could be de-
termined placed it in the possession of
the lawful owners. Captain w. A.
Bethel, who acted as judge advocate
in these cases, is highly praised by
General Randall.
The sanitary conditions were placed
under the charge of Major Charles e.
Ebert, surgeon. The energetic efforts
of the military improved these condi-
lions. There were about 500 men
working on the beach at Nome with
machinery at one time, and many de-
clined to give answers concerning the
prospects for gold, while others admit
ted they were taking out only from 81
to So day. The beach was practically
worked out last year. The tundra is
/ believed to be rich but would require
larger capital to produce results There
is a large area of country which has
not been prospected, where gold can yet
be found, but it requires men of ex-
perience to develop such a country.
General Randall says it has been de-
cided to establish a permanent military
station on the island of st. Michael.
| He recommends the purchase of two
stern-wheel river steamers for opera
tons on the Yukon and that all coal,
forage and building material intended
for Alaskan ports be started from Sc
attic not later than June Is, and ship
ped in sailing vessels for economy. AL
so that cable be laid from Seattle via
Juneau and Skagway to Valdez, con
nected with the telegraph line now
building over the all-American route
from Valdez to Egbert and down the
Yukon river to Fort Michael. Wher
this line is completed General Randall
says military headquarters should be
in southern Alaska or at Seattle.
He recommends a life-saving station
= in the vicinity of Nome. He also rec
r ommends that lighthouses with fog
whistles be established in southeast
Alaska at the following places: Cape
Cox, near the southern boundary; Cape
Cimmanna, entrance from the north
into Congas narrows; Five Fingers, in
Frederick sound; also fog signal al
: Unimak pass. He also recommends
! military reservation at Dutch harbol
and coaling station, and thinks that
: the need may arise at some future time
, for erecting Notifications at this place

Gus defense, which completely stopped and
broke up the famous guards back forma-
ton, a speedy and brilliant offense, to-
gether with some bad errors by her op-
ponents, gave Harvard a most satisfactory
victory over the University of Pennsyl-
vania on Old Soldiers field Saturday after
noon. The attendance was 10000. Har-
ward scored in 10 minutes after the game
started, principally by brilliant runs by
Swain around the ends and Ellis in the
center. Ten minutes after Harvards kick
from the l0-yard line was blocked and Ell
lis fell on the ball for the second touch
down.
The third was gained by good straight
gains from nearly the middle of the field
until Swain again went through the
tackles to the fve-yard line and moment
after was pushed over for Harvards final
score, for Lawrence missed the goal.
With the score IL to 0 in their faces,
Pennsylvania made a fine brace in the Sec
ond half and Harvard tumble, with some
off-side play by Hallowell, put them on
the crimson eight-yard line On the very
first play Hallowell was neatly boxed up
and Hare went over the line for Pennsyl-
vania's only score, but Immediately after
ward missed the goal. The score: Har-
