INDIAN FAMINE. IS OVER.
This Years Crop Reports Show an Encourag'ng Surplus of
 Grain Supply.

Government officials as we'll as the public in general find pleasant read ing in the last crop report from In- dia. In spite of the recent famine, which has cost the people e5O,O0O,- 900 and the treasury a15,17O,0O0 in three years, the surplus for the year amounted to g 1,670,OO0. In salt, ex- else, customs, post office and tele- graphs, there was a substantial in- crease. and in railways a gain of 'e640,000. The alteration of the cur- rency standard has been a great sue cess, the profit to the treasury being s5,00o,0o0, which is set apart to form the nucleus ofya gold fund, and a reserve in gold has been accumu- lated of nearly $7,o0o,ooo. The aver age income of the natives has risen from Is rupees to 20, the cultivated area has increased from 194, ,00O,o ,ooo acres to 21500o,000, while the yield of food crops, which in 1880. was 73O pounds per acre, was in 1900 $40 pounds. @'-
 In 20 years the railway mileage has advanced from 6,5Oo to 25,0OO, yield ing profit to the state of 6Oo,0 year, while irrigation, though not so rapidly pushed on, has still ad- nent is fairly prosperous, though about IT per cent. of the people are still excessively poor.

F f
 quarter To. this I 1'igged tackle to steer.9 For several days made prog ress. Then the gale recommended and the new steering gear went over the side. Again the vessel was at the mercy of the sea. Having nothing left to rig up new steering gear, had to let the schooner drift aimlessly and watch for chance to escape.
 "The opportunity came on February 20, almost three months after my wild voyage began, when sighted land, which afterwards proved to be Ka- gataska island, one of the Aleutian group. It is in longitude 176 degrees 26 minutes; latitude 54 degrees 43 min utes north. had drifted 500 miles westward of Unga. When the schooner was near enough to land I let go a small kedge anchor. It would not hold, and it was rapidly drifting on to the rocks. got out my boat and carried a line to rock. When that snapped the schooner went on reef and be- gan breaking up.
 "I then started ashore. in my boat, but the surf overturned it, and should
 
 swan to me and carried me to land.
 ''For few moments I lay on the beach, exhausted and almost frozen. When I regained consciousness set out to find food and shelter. In few minutes it was evident that the island was uninhabited. Neither food nor shelter of any kind could be had. Hav- ing no matches I could not start a fire. My gun was with me, but the am- munition was in the boat when it cap- sized, so that could not kill sea birds for food Finally came up with the rowboat, cast upon the beach. Drag ging it out of. reach of the tide I fixed over it a piece of canvas for shelter.
 During the next six days suffered intensely from cold, hunger and 1one- liness. Nothing eatable could be found but shellfish, which I had to eat raw. The weather, of course, was severe, storming almost continually. At last my boat was noticed by party of h. slians from Atka island, who were pass ing Kagataska on a hunting trip. When they landed toiinvestigate was barely able to crawl out to meet them.
 tsThe natives were kind, giving me seal meat and~taking me and my dog with them. I remained in camp while they hunted. Then they carried me back with them to Atka island, where I was received and cared for by MT. Anton Dirks, who has station there, and Capt. Peter, of the schooner Chal- 1enge. Several weeks later got an opportunity to go over to Dutch Har- bor. I am resting now and expect to get out again when I have fully recov- cred from the privations of that wild cruise on the poor old Iliamna."

TALE OF A MARINER
Saved from Drowning by His Old
 Dog's Devotion.
After FIoundering Along AfmIessIy for Months Capt. Seymour Found " Desolate Refuge on
 Lonely Island.

For three months Capt. Charles s Seymour was adrift in the waters of the Aleutian archipelago During the next six weeks he went through the ex- perience of Robinson Crusoe, alone on an isolated island and subsisting on shell fish. His escape from drowning he owes to the devotion of dog. His thrilling story was brought to Seattle by the steam schooner Lakme, from, Dutch Harbor, where Capt. Seymour had been taken after his rescue from Atka island.
 Capt. Seymour was in command of the Sitka schooner Iliamna. On the night of September 26, 1900, the vessel broke from its moorings at Unga is land and went adrift, with the skipper alone on board. That one man should work the schooner out of the harbor during a gale seemed impossible, but Capt. Seymour did it.
 At first" he says, 'T tried to an chor, running from one end of the schooner to the other to drop both irons. They would not hold, and could not raise them. Seeing that we were drifting on the rocks, I hoisted the foresail and seized the wheel. By good luck the tide and wind, while ter rife, enabled me to get out through the narrow channel In ordinary weather it could not be done by one man.
 During the next four days I ran be- fore the wind. As the gale steadily increased in violence I was continually running forward and aft. Then the rudder head gave way. could no longer keep the schooner straight. I had to let it founder along.
 "After 21 days of this the sea calmed somewhat, so that I could climb over the side on the stern and rig up tenn porary steering gear. l got bolt into the rudder, then took down my main topmast and 1ashed it across the stern so that the ends projected over the

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Jim Jeffries Proves That He Has a
 Punch Left


 Jim Jeffries has convinced his admir- CTS that he has lost neither his skill nor his ability to knock man out. In his match with Joe Kennedy of San Francisco, which took place at the Re liance A. C., Oakland, on Tuesday night. Jeffries proved that he is still great fighter. He met Kennedy in a four-round bout, but put the latter to sleep in two rounds. Jeffries, in , case he failed to stop Kennedy in four rounds, was to forfeit $100. The fight was a fast one. JeffrieS was in fine condition and demonstrated that he had been training eonScientiously- Kennedy was in fair fettle.
 When the two men shaped up they seemed to be of the same size. The boilermaker had the advantage n weight. He bored in from the start and landed hard on the stomach. Ken nedy, nothing daunted, rushed in and jabbed the champion on the nose hard several times. Kennedy stood up and fought. Jeffries kept begging away at the wind while Kennedy jolted the jaw. Kennedy jabbed with his left often and at the close of the round Jeffries's face was red.
 In the second round JeffrieS's superi- ority was evident. He walked right in at the sound of the gong and hooked Kennedy with the left. He followed this up with a vicious smash to the wind and then crossed with the right. Kennedy nevertheless did not quake, but kept his left going. The end, how ever, came at Kennedy's next attempt. Joe led, but Jeffries rushed and rammed his rival to the ropes. There the champion mixed it up and had Ia ;., T. hard to stem the tide, but Jeffries got good opening and mailing his man with the left on the jaw, knocked him out

HARD ON THE ToPERs.
The Short Corn Crop Will Increase the Price of Whisky CoR-
 siderably.

Lovers of cocktails, gin fzzes, creme de menthes and other seduc- tive little mixtures in which spiritus frumenti form the principal ingredi- ent will probably be interested to learn that the next few months will mark a considerable increase in, the price of whisky" said travelling man, accord ing to the Charleston News and Cour- fer.
 stThe practical failure of the corn crop,' he continued, Sin some of the western states, which heretofore fur nished the greatest portion of the SUD- ply to the people of this country, and the consequent increase in price, will cause the distillers to pay great deal more for their raw material than they have been in the habit of doing in the past. The consumers in this instance, as in all others since the law of supply and demand has been known, will, of course, be compelled to pay this in- crease4in price. A number of people in this country are probably not aware of the fact that about 75 per cent. of the whisky distilled in this coun- try is made from corn. Thousands every day are drinking what they sup pose to be rye, when in reality it is nothing more than colored corn juice. Out in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa there will be less corn harvested this year than ever before in my rec ollection. Taking into consideration that these four states, where nearly all the corn in the United States is raised, or rather an enormous percent age of it, are so short as to the output this year, it can be readily seen what effect the decrease will have on the market. Distillers will be forced to pay we'll for their corn, and the only avenue of escape for them is to make the consumers fork over the differ ence.,

The College Teams are Steadily Get ing in Form
 Princeton, Sept 26.-The under graduates were disappointed yesterday afternoon when they appeared at foot ball practice and learned that the first lineup of the eleven was postponed for day or two. It will probably take place to-day. Yesterdays prac- tice consisted of running the candi- | dates through the usual formations, and a new mass on center play was tried with apparent success. Scott, of the theological seminary, who formerly played on the University of Pennsyl- vania team, is putting up fine work at right tackle. Three or four freshmen also are showing good form.
 New Haven, Sept 26.-Frank But terworth, the old Yale player, was at Yale field yesterday afternoon, and with Stillman did some coaching. But terworth devoted his time to Whitney and YanderpoeI, fullback candidates Whitney's work was good. He is a fair kicker. Captain Gould spent much time at bunting. Butterworth watched his work closely. He kicks | two among the candidates who brought joy to the hearts of the 200 students watching the practice. They were Francis and Benham. and their tack ling was sharp and effective. Much Of the practice was for the guards and tackles and it was hot while it lasted.

 Branford Point. Sept 26.-The Co- lumbia university football team lined up an eleven against Boardman High school team of New Haven yesterday afternoon and the best that the col legians could do against the school boys in two twenty-five minute halves was single touchdown. Van Hoven- burg at end and Captain Durien at fUllback were the only old men on the Columbia team, and the line proved an easy mark for the schoolboys The result of the game was disappointing to Coach Sanford, particularly in view of the coming game with Buffalo col lege at the Pan-American exhibition on Saturday.
