Kowak river party in Alaska from the
geological survey has been submitted
by Geologist Mendenhall, in charge of
the work He says the party reached
Dawson, Yukon territory, June 4. Mr..
Reaburn, of the party, with three
camp hands, Immediately began to
survey line from Fort Yukon to the
mouth Of Dali river, approximately $50
miles. This region of the Yukon flats
offered no geologic problems other
than those involved in tie history of
large area of fluvial silts. After de-
failing the movements of other indi-
vidualS of the party, the report says
the waters there June II were high
and rising, but little rain had fallen,
and the thermometer ranged from 40
to 60 degrees. The party gained ten
days time by declining to wait until

runaway occurred at noon to-day in
which four little girls were hurt. Hack

from Phoenix City and in coming down

The horse ran through the river bridge
which contained over two hundred small
boys and girls carrying dinner to the mill

running 40 the sides of the bridge and
getting behind timbers. Callie Arm

run over. She got a bad cut back of the
head and was seriously bruised on the
body and arms. Mary Kelley was also cut
on head and bruised. Two other girls
were slightly injured.
The affair created great excitement, it
being reported that FIVE or six children
had been killed Only when the children
appeared with their baskets was the

THE. GOVERNORS, POSITION.
what He Says About Treasurer Park
and the Mandamus Proceedings.

Atlanta, Ga, May 6.-Counsel for
Treasurer r. E. Park to-day prepared
the bill of exceptions to Judge Gamblers
decision ordering him to pay the school
teachers, and tomorrow the case will be
filed in the Supreme Court Attorney
General Terrell will move for an advance
ment of the hearing and hopes to get a
decision even before June l.
Gov Gambler has been charged with
stating that he agreed with the views of
Treasurer Park concerning the public
property fund. When asked about the
matter he said: My position in this
treasurer mix-up is simply this: 1 drew
treasury warrants on the state treas
urer in payment of the teachers salaries.
The treasurer refused to pay the war
rants, believing that he was not war
ranted by law In doing So The Attorney
General, the legal and proper adviser OF
the officials of the state government, gave
II as his opium that the warrants should
be paid. The treasurer, wishing to be
absolutely sure of his position, stin de-
clined to pay them, his ground being that
question having once arisen as to the
legality of the payment of the warrants.
that the highest authority should pass
upon the matter and settle 1t for all time.
This was my own view of the matter and
/ informed the Treas that l would in

him to pay the warrants or be upheld In

to the people for the safe keeping of
their money as well as the payments of
their debts. I certainly believed that I'M

or 1 would not have drawn them. Never
theless. 1 believe it is well that the ques-
ton be settled by the Supreme Court in
order that the matter be finally deter
mined.

The House adopted the coal tax by a
vote of S33 to 227

competition and contending that the duty
would give the United States a chance
to cut out British coal.
This started the bali rolling and for
some time the House gave itself up to a
discussion of the relative merits of POGO

frequent references TO Americas growing
merchant marine and the advantages of
coal.
Mr.. Balfour, in rambling style, summed
up the debate. basing his argument upon
the proposition that such a great and ever
increasing industry as the export of coal
could not be seriously affected by the inn
position of a tax of shilling ton. lie
dismissed as highly improba bic the theory
that American coal would ever be able to
compete with English.
In the division which followed there was
much cross voting, John Morley voted
with the government. Several Liberals
abstained from voting, while almost all
the Conservatives representing coal coun-
ties Joined the opposition.
What the Miners Federation will do
now remains to be seen. Judging from the
speeches of the labor members during the
last stages of the debate. the federati
is quite likely to declare a general strike.

gauized labor and Parliament. Such a
collision, as was said frequently during
the discussion. might prove ruinous to the
coal industry and highly injurious to the

A SNOW SLIDE IN ALASKA.
Smiths Camp Wiped Out and Fiv,
Men Killed.

Men Killed.
Seattle. Wash, May 6.-Particulars of
the snow slide reported to txtve occurred
at Sunrise City, Alaska, about March 20,
were received to-day by mail.
The slide did not occur at Sunrise. but
at Smiths Camp on Lynx Creek, % miles
above Sunrise.
The dead are:
Lee S. Graham, San Jose, Cal.
Fred Shackleford, Rhode Island.
Dick Lane. Fresno, Cal.
Henry Willoughby.
- Hogan, known as "Old Man Ho-
gam" San Francisco.
The slide started on the side of an ad-
jacent mountain and came laundering
down over a cliff into the camp beneath,
sheer fall of six hundred feet. There
had been nothing to give the men warn
ing of their danger, and the first known of
the catastrophe was when they heard the
roar of the great mass sliding down the
mountain.
There were at the camp, in all, seven
men, two besides the five who were
killed The entire seven were buried
under the mass, but Frank Fleehardy, a
strong young man. was not buried as
deeply as the rest and by six hours hard
work succeeded in getting out of the
slide. AS soon as he reached the sur
face, he began with others to dig for his
comrades. The first man reached was
Gilbert Devoe. Beyond number of Sc
we're cuts and bruises and the fact that
he was seriously frostbitten, Devoe was
all right and will recover, although he
was under the snow sixteen hours.
The others were dead when the rescu-
ing party reached their bodies.

Atlanta. May 6.-City Marshal r. e.
Riley and Investigator Sledge Collier have
been going the rounds of the freight yards
to-day with the result that some twenty
cars of the Express Coal Line are now
chained to the railroad tracks with notices
tackled on them, advertising that they will
be sold to the highest bidder on the first
Tuesday in June.
This is one of the final steps in the ef-
fort on the part of the city to collect what
1t considers back taxes from the South
ern Iron and Coal Line, and its adjunct
lines. FL fas amounting to $3.50 were
issued some time ago. and President E.
D. Spalding was asked to appear before
the Tax Committee and show why he
should not pay up. Several discussions
were entered into. Mr.. Spalding claiming
that the cars were not owned by the
companies, but simply operated by them.
The cars, however, are said TO wear plates
stating them to be the property OF the
Express Coal Line.
