NOT SO BLACK AT NOME
FORMER TREASURY EMPLOYE
WRITES TO THE DEPARTMENT..
No Typhoid Fever and hut Twenty
Smallpox ~Cases-SeasOn Too Dry
for Profitable Operations.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ga letter, dated
July %. has been received at the treasury
from a former employee of the department,
now at Cape Nome, Alaska. The writer,
who has the entire confidence of the Of
hcials, says: 1.-The reports of disease and
death that nave been taken back to the
States are untYuthful. The smallpox scare
is all over. There were twenty cases in all
and all of them came on the Oregon. AS
yet there has been no typhoid, but the
season has been dry, which probably ac-
counts for its absence. There hay been
twelve violent deaths here since June 10.
Four men nave been drowned, three nave
committed suicide and five have been shot.
"Prospectors who nave been out over the
country are just beginning to bring in
quartz. The season on the famed Anvil
creek has been so dry, there having been
neither rain nor snow since the 18th of
June, that the creeks cannot be worked to
advantage. One large company on Anvil
creek claims to be losing SlOO. 600 a week
owing TO the scarcity of water. AS ii is,
the company is doing we'll. and is said to
have shipped a ton OF the yellow metal on
the Garonne, and $4,000 worth has been
sold to a local bank in Nome. Sluicing,
with fair results. is going on along many
OF the creeks, and also to some extent on
the Dedcn. Inc DAY mas passed, however,
when a single man could rock out SO a
day. The story that the beach is gold to
Cape Prince of Wales is undoubtedly false.
The transportation companies are now
bringing in people first class for SIS, while
two months ago they charged $l25. The
question of transportation home for thou
sands of the poor fellows in the fall is in
deed a serious one.
Dredging the SAND from the sea is a
complete failure. On the whole, 1 believe
Nome will boom as soon as ii rains. The
gold will be mostly from the creeks, and
the tundra prospect is good for winter
diggings. The fuel question for winter
is serious. for not every one can pay $3.50

ROME, Aug. 6.-The Chamber of Deputies
to-day reopened with an immense throng
present. The tribunes were draped with
black. The president of the Chamber. Sig
nor villa, delivered a memorial address
eulogizing the late King Humbert. He was
frequently applauded.
The address was received amid signs of
deep mourning. although its more effective
passages were frequently interrupted with
cries of Long live the King"

himself with the words of Signor Villa.
who then proceeded to read dispatches adj
dressed to him by presidents of foreign
chambers, after which he announced that
several deputies had made a number of
propositions with the object of rendering
special honor to the memory of the late
King. Among these. he said, were pro-
posals that the Chamber should remain
draped in black for six months. that the
bureau of the presidency should present
an address to King Victor Emmanuel and
Queen Helena, and that the memory of the
deceased monarch should be consecrated
I'm an imperishable monument.
Signor Turati, Socialist, in the name of
his party protested against the assassina-
ton. declaring that everybody had a right
to live and that political assassination was
useless.
This statement caused some sensation;
and, when Signor Pantani. in the name of
the Republicans. made a similar statement,
adding that his group associated itself with
the sorrow of the country, the declaration
was greeted with cries of "Crocodiles,"
Sign0r Pantano retorted: I'VE do not
speculate like you on a crime committed"
The uproar then became deafening and IL
was impossible 10 hear the further words
OF the deputies. Calm having been re-
stored, Signor Saracco spoke I'm favor of
various propositions. all of which were
adopted unanimously, with the exception of
the Socialist vote.
Signor Villa invited the deputies to take
part IN the funeral, and then announced
that the new Kin would take the oath
next Saturday in the senate before the two
chambers. The house then rose amid cries
of Long live the King"
The Senate approved propositions identi-
cal TO those voted in the Chamber Of
Deputies.
