------------------------ BOY KICKED BY HORSE.
Was Playing In a Pasture Lot Near
 Taylor Street.

Was Playing Tn Pasture Lot Near
 Taylor Street.
 Little Johnnie McClusky, the 6-year4 old son of Mr and Mrs Michael Me- Clusky, of 32 Taylor street, met with q serious accident yesterday and to- day his condition is critical. About 3:30 yesterday afternoon Johnnie went out to play in some lots, a short dis tance i'll the rear of his home. The lots belong to Patrick Holohan. A horse was straying around the lots, running rather friskily about them. Whether it was at pasture or was wan- dering about at will anywhere or every- where, as some persons allow their horses to do, is unknown. At any rate the horse was there. It is also un- known whether young McClusky. who is very fond of horses, started to play with the horse or not. But it is: known that the horse lifted one of it's hind hoofs and kicked the little boy right i'll the face, knocking him down. Blood commenced to pour freely from his head and nose and he was unable to walk. He was carried to his home and Dr Axtelle was summoned On examination, Dr Axtelle found that the boys nose had been crushed and his head was somewhat battered. His condition was very serious. Dr Axtelle said that he was resting comfortably to-day and that his condition was as good as could be expected. He was unable to state at this time whether the child would recover or not.

Many persons who jumped off the steamer were rescued later, only to die from exhaustion and the intense cold
 Among the passengers lost were the wife of Governor Ross. of Dawson, her child and her niece, and Dr John M. Duncan of Victoria. The doctor was seen with a life preserver about him but no one saw Mrs Ross and it was futile attempt to rescue Mrs Ross and family just as the steamer sank.
 All the rescued speak in high terms of the courage and assistance given by Chief Engineer Brownlee and First Officer Neurotsos, who saved several lives. The intense cold of the water caused severe cramps among many who were on life rafts and resulted in death fro mthe exposure
 NJ. M Brumbauer. of Portland. Ore, had $14,000 in gold dust in his catchel but promptly abandoned it, tumbled into the water and was rescued.
 ID. H. Hart, of Klondike. had S4O,- GOO in gold dust. which he abandoned, when he jumped into the last boat and reached shore safely
 M. M. Manlin, of Winnipeg dropped his satchel containing $4,00O and a friend left S3,000 behind.
 Another Klondiker, whose name is not given, is reported to have taken his portmanteau. containing $40,00O in gold dust from the purser and jumped rom the sinking steamer to boat Which he failed to reach. Both the man and his treasure sank.
 Pilot Labonde said: .The night was me. As We always expect to met ice, a sharp lookout was kept. About PAS a. mt the crash came The boat was under full speed and no ice was in slght and there was no fog. The berg no doubt was even with the water. Af- ter she struck I stopped the engines Then Captain Foote appeared with the night watchman, who reported the shiI leaking forward I told Captain Foote that We had better head for the beach The ship was making water so fast however. she would not answer hel helm. Then Icalled the mate and he ordered the boats lowered. They were quickly loaded with passengers.

THE TENNIS TOURNEY.
The Final Struggle Will Take Place
 To-morroW

The Final Struggle Will Take Place
 Tomorrow
 Newport, R. l., Aug 19.-An over- cast sky and other conditions much the same as those of nearly every day last week favored w. A. Larned and R. D. Little to-day in the semi-fnals at the Casino courts. The sun was obscured throughout the forenoon The only matches scheduled were those between Leo Ware and Larend, and Little and Beals Wright.
 The final struggle will come to-mor- row. The outlook this forenoon was that Larned and Wright would be the men to meet for America's highest teIi- his honorS.
 The Ware-Larned match was sched- uled for II o'clock, and the other for noon. The experts selected Larned and Wright to win, although they ex- pected their opponents to put up q hard fight.
 Ware is a player who shows much strategy and Larned has had the ex- pefience of having been four times runner-up i'll the national tournament. Little and Wright have both handled themselves with much credit in the present tourney Wright is in the bet ter condition of the two and it was conceded that if the match were long one Wright would have a sure win.
 An overcast sky aided Larned and Little. Ware has defeated Larned once this year and the other pair met to-day for the first time this season.
