Once, Though.
Henry Gannett in Bulletin of the Ameri-
can Geographical Society.
The entire coast Of Alaska and its is
ards, frcm Dixon Entrance to the Aleu-
tan Islards is mountainous. The land
everywhere rises abrup iy from the sea
to SUBMITS ranging from three thousand
to eighteen thousand feet high The noun
tain slopes are very s.ee2, the higher
s mmits are extremely rugged, and thou
SANDS of them are totally inaccessible
Level land near the coast is almost I'M
known, except at the heads of the fiords,
which continue in ard as valleys or can
yors with preci. itous walls.
The most prominent fact connected with
the coast region of Southern Alaska, in
deed of the northwest coast of North
America from Puget Sound to the end
Of he Alaskan peninsula, is that its fea-
lures are almost wholly the product of
glaci-l action. Net only are its tiords the
aba ndored channels of glaciers, but its

and so rectnt is the retreat of the gla-

of the atmosphere and of streams is thus
far 10 be seen superimposed upon the
glacial work. There is probably nowhere
on earth an equal arr in which the re-

HORRIBLE SCENES
 IN STRICKEN INDIA
Louis KIopsCh Returns from Visit
 to Suffering Districts.
DEATH RATE IS APPALLING
Fugitives Scattering in All Directions and Stricken in Flight Are Found Dying in Fields and
 By Road sides

Bombay, June 3.-Louis <lopsch, of New who arrived here on May II, and started at once on tour of the famine-stricken dis tricts, has returned, after having travelled through the most sorely smitten portions of the Bombay presidency, including Sujerat and Barolda. He makes the following state ment regarding his observations:
 Everywhere l met the most shocking and revolting scenes. The famine camps have been swept by cholera and smallpox. Fugitives, scattering in all directions and stricken in fight, were found dying in the fields and roadside ditches. The numbers at one relief station were increasing at the rate of 10000 per day.
 At Godhera there were 5000 deaths from cholera within four days, and at Dohad D. 800 in the same period. The hospital death rate at Godhera and Dohad was 30 per cent.
 'The condition of the stricken simply beg gars description.
 Air and water were imDregnated with an intolerable stench of corpses. At Amed- abed the death rate in the poor house was 10 per cent Every day I saw new patients placed face to face with corpses. In every fourth cot there corpse.
 'The thermometer read 115 in the shade Millions of flies lowered around the un- cleansed dysentery patients.
 "I visited the smallpox and cholera wards at Viragam All the patients were lying on the ground there being no cots. Otherwise their condition was fair.
 T can fully verify the reports that vul- lures, dogs and jaekals are devouring the dead. Dogs have been seen running about with children's limbs in their jaws.
 The government is doing it's best, but the native officials are hopelessly and heart lessly inefficient. Between the famine plague and cholera, the condition of Bom- bay is now worse than 1t has been at any previous period in the nineteenth century. Whole families have been plotted out. The spirit of the people is broken, and there may be something worse to come when the monsoon breaks"

IN RICHARDSON'S COUNTY
Hon. Jesse E. Brown of Scottsboro Makes Speech in Huntsville

Huntsville, June 3.-(Special )-Hon. Jesse E. Brown, candidate for congress, invaded Judge Richardsons territory yesterday aft ernoon and delivered speech to a fair sized audience at the county court house. This was the first time congressional can didate from some other county has come to Madison in several years, General Wheeler having always left this county off his list of possibilities.
 Touching his claims upon the democrats of this district for their support, MT. Brown said that no county has a better democratic record than Jackson and no democrat has been more active in behalf of his party than himself. He claimed to be the first speaker and the editor of the first news paper that advocated the free coinage of silver in this district MT Brown declared his opposition to the tariff and trusts, his sympathy with the aims and objects of the Spanish war, his opposition to the war in the Philippines and his adherence to the belief that the income tax should become a law. MT. Brown asked his hearers not to listen to appeals based on county pride. He said that Candidates Sawtelle and Blackwell would give neither Judge Rich ardson nor himself any trouble in the con- Vention.
