OUT FROM DAWSON
IN NINETEEN DAYS

Seattle, Wash. April S.-Seth James,
a pioneer miner of the north, arrived
yesterday from the KlOndike, a VaIdes
passenger on the steamship Oregon,
demonstrating that the journey from
Yukon river points by the all-American
route can be made with ease in nine
teen days. That was his actual travel
ing time from Dawson to Seattle. From
Dawson to the sea he followed the
United States mail carriers route and
the government military road being
constructed from Valdes to Eagle City
His faithful dog, a Russian terrier
accompanied him on his journey
through the wilds of Alaska The dog
hauled sled loaded with provisions
and bedding sufficient for his master
and himself. As they. progressed on
their journey the dogs burden was
hghtened, but at no time did he show
the slightest inclination to desert or
rebel The long march was ended last
Saturday on the snOw-coYered Valdes
glacier, where so many fortune-hunters
met death during the winter of 1898.
Resuming their journey to VaIdes, they
arrived Sunday in time to catch the
Oregon for Seattle.
James thinks the Copper river route
70 the Yukon is destined to be the one
generally used as soon as the govern
ment road IS completed. Even now, he
says, it is not a difficult trip if the
mail CARRIES trail is followed.

WOMEN WANT TO GO
TO SOUTH AFRICA

New York, April s.-A rather Lun-
expected result has followed Mr.. Cham
berlain's. recent. speech in support of
the scheme for sending women out to
South Africa at the conclusion of the
war. says the London correspondent of
the Tribune. An enormous number OF
letters have been received from women
eager to emigrate and reluctant to wait
till -bostilities are ended. One woman,
who wrote direct to Lord Salisbury.
said she was prepared TO go out at once
with her mother and sisters, but she in
dicated no particular sphere of useful
ness Another wrote to the colonial
office in behalf of herself and a few
other 'first-class lady BARRIERS"
Naturally the colonial Office authoFi-
ties are doing their utmost TO discour-
age applications from women other
than those who are self dependent and
girls of the servant type are urgently
advised not to go out at all. 1t is very
doubtful whether there viii be any
openings for them, and the public funds
cannot be used for the purpose of
granting free passages TO the cape.

WILD SCHEME TO
CAUSE RAINFALL

Chicago, April ga dispatch to the
Chronicle from Springfield, o., says:
Dr. G. w. Woodbridge, a well known
Ohio scientist, advocates the creation
of a glacier at the top of the San Ber-
nardino mountains that would change
the arid lands of Arizona and southern
California into a garden.
he would have the standing army
employed, and suggests as one of its
tasks that it erect an immense chimney
on the Pacific coast, of such height
that the ocean air could be carried to
the top of the San Bernadino noun
talns, whereby atmospheric action
could be used to an extremely low
temperature. thus forming. according to
DR.. Woodbridge, an immense glacier
The presence of this glacier would
cause a sufficiency of rainfall. which in
that country is now lacking because

Gus injuries sustained by Enos 5. T.

in the cases of Richardson and Mason
it was severe, and that since they went
through the initiation the system has
been charged
DIR. Walcott, who is acting president
of Harvard in the absence of DR..
Eliot, says he was not aware that any
cruelties were being practiced until he
received a very vigorous letter in re-
gard TO the matter
1.-The question is how to stop them, Z"
he said. sAbout thirty years ago Har-
ward assumed the position that she
could not be responsible for the way
in which the students spent their time.
The only way is for the students who
are asked to join the society, to reruse
to submit to actions which are degrad-
ing, not only to themselves, but to the
college The faculty has the power to
exercise discipline, and if il so chose
it might rule that public limitations
should be discontinued"

Versity. has charge of all the secret
societies at Harvard.
