Have a Bully Good Time.
 New York, June 19.--James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern rail- road, was busy packing his trunk last night in his rooms on Fifth avenue.
 ..I've changed my plans and I'm go- ing to sail in the morning on the St Paul." he said on being asked why he was working so hard.
 .sWhen you were in New York be- fore" said the reporter, you said that you and MT Morgan were in control of the Northern Pacific. Are you still in controIg'
 Just as much so as ever.."
 Has there not been an arrangement between you and the Hartman in terests by which each has secured equal rights in the transcontinental trade over the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific?"
 sYou may call it an arrangement or whatever you 1ike," was the answer; my interests and those of MT Morgan are perfectly secure. Why, if they were not, do you think I would take this two months trip to Europe?'
 What is the cause of the rise in St Paul? Has not the Union Pacific bought a controlling amount of it's stock?''
 sDon't ask me, ask MT Hartman or somebody that knows Then, after a pause, he repeated: 1T want to em- phasize that my affairs are just where want them, and in such a satisfac- tory condition that am going to have bully good time for the next two months''
 So saying, Mr Hill threw some more articles of clothing into the trunk and began work again.

FIRE HOSE FILLED WITH |CE
Prevented Bremen From Doing
 Good Work at Nome.

Consequently a Disastrous Fire Dam- aged Much Property-Seven Prison
 CTS Made Daring Escape From Federal Jail at Nome-The Winters Work Has Piled Up Heaps of valr-
 able Dust.
 Seattle, Wash, June 19.-Nome was subjected to a most disastrous fire May 2S. The old court building was one of the first burned Later the Washington Trading Company's build ing and the Smile Campbell building caught. The fire department expert enced great difficulty in fighting tine flames, owing to the hose being filled with ice. ine total losses are placed at $126, 6,650.
 One Of the most daring and success ful Iali deliveries that has taken place i'll Alaska occurred on May 20, when seven prisoners i'll the federal jail at Nome escaped, and at last advices four were still at large. Those who got away were named Bowers. Davis, Miller and l&ndes, while Smith, Lib by aid May were recaptured h the capture, May was shot through the head and jaw and is in q precarious condition
 The escape was effected by cutting through the roofs of the cells and af- forwards cutting through the corru- gated iron roof of the jail. As soon as the prisoners were missed, a detach- ment of soldiers was sent from Fort Davis. Everyone leaving town was questioned and dodgers advertising the escape were freely circulated. Lib- by was first captured hiding. in a cab in. Smith and May were found mak- ing their way over the ridge, and were called on to surrender The former d1d so, but May made break for lib- erty and was shot
 The results of the winters work prove emphatically. that Nome is a winter camp. Within a radius of eight miles about the city dumps have been piled up which on conservative esti- mates will yield five hundred thousand dollars, and this in spite of the lack of proper appliances and the high nrice of fuel. With an ample coal supnlv at reasonable prices for thawing. win ter work can be prosecuted on a large scale '

RACES CALLED OFF.
Harlem Jockey Club Will Not Antag-
 onize the Courts.

Harlem Jockey Club Will Not Antag-
 onize the Courts.
 Chicago, June 19-The, Harlem Jockey club has called off the remain ing three days of the meeting. Secre- tary Nathanson said.
 Our intention was to race out the remaining three days of our meeting without allowing betting, but our at torneys advice is not to race, as such action might be construed as disre- spectful to the courts injunction and might injure our cause, which comes up on Monday"
 The decision to close Harlem came as a surprise to the public and the bookmakers It was the result or Judge Stein's refusal to dissolve Judge Holden's injunction prohibiting book making and pool-selling at the race track
 Out of the courts the bookmakers received blow when Mayor Harrison declared with emphasis that he would not allow betting on the Derby, to be run at the opening of the Washington Park races on Saturday,. Chief O'Neill declared that he would act ''when the time comes"
 There certainly will be no gam bling at the Derby were the words the mayor used. 'I will permit no gambling there, and that was the un- derstanding on which the license was issued"
 There is no doubt that the American Derby will be run as usual, betting or no betting. It is reported that Chief of Police O'Neill has received certain instructions with reference to the Der by. day event, but it is not generally believed that the may or will enforce the threat made by him that there will be no betting.
