A QUICK TRIP OUT.
Passengers From Dawson to Van
couver in Two Weeks.

Vancouver, B. c., Jan. 2.--The steamer
victorian arrived this morning from
Skaguay with forty passengers, mostly
from Dawson. They had left as late as
December 16, making quick time over
the ice. A. f. Lauder, of Seattle, was
the latest passenger and he came out on
a bicycle
Mrs. Ballinger, wife of DR.. Ballinger,
who left Dawson on December 9Th, for
Skaguay and completely disappeared.
also came out by the Victorian. She
heard nothing of her husband, who it IS
feared met with foul play, and she is
now on her way to seek assistance of
relatives in Seattle. She will Immediate
ly return north to further prosecute the
search. There is no clue, and the con-
clusion that he was foully dealt with is
entirely theortical.

Slorah, who murdered his mistress, was
refused al Dawson on December IA, and

The wrecked steamer City of Topeka

NEW MARINE COMPASS.
Navy Department Wants Simpler,
More Accurate Card.

New York, Jan. 21.--A Herald special
from Washington says:
Rear Admiral Bradford has sent to
we'll known mariners for criticism
proposed new compass card designed by
Lieutenant Commander l.. b. w. Diehl,
superintendent of compasses. The OBJ
ject of the proposed change is to omit
the present system of points and frac-
tons thereof and use degrees only.
The present card contains points and
degrees. The conversion of one into
the other, Lieutenant Commander Dlehl
says. is a natural result for the appear
ance of both, but is not a necessity, as
would speedily be recognized were the
points omitted. Accuracy requnes ex-
preston in degrees for courses, bearings
and compass errors, and not in points.
the use of which is but duplication OF
work. The circumference of the pro-
posed card is divided into the usual
$50 degrees. and marked continuously
to the right from zero degrees at north
to so degrees al east, $50 degrees at
south, 27O degrees at west and 360 de-
grees at north The card is subdivided
into divisions of IL degrees, accantuated
by heavy lines on the graduated rim
and by suitable geometric figures on the
card being indicated in figures by it's
appropriate number from zero degrees
or north. Each ten-degree division of
the card is further subdivided into half
and quarter divisions and appropriately
marked. Every fifth degree line of the
graduated circles between the ten-de
gree divisions is marked in figures, in
dicating it's appropriate number from
zero degrees or north. The cardinal and
inter- cardinal directions are emphasized
on the card in geometric figures Lieu
tenant Commander Diehl says he be-
lieves the proposed marking of the com
pass card would result in greater ac-
curacy in navigation in it's relation to
the compass. Courses would be laid in
degrees and more accurately noted, as
the approximate course Of S. w. by W.
a A. "A little westerly" for example,
would be replaced by the exact course
of 240 degrees.

GREAT LOSS OF STOCK.
Colorado sheep Will Die by the

Walsenburg, Coo. Jan. 2-The wealth
er in this vicinity is the eldest in re-
cent years. This condition was preceded
by a snowstorm lasting several days. The
snow was fine and the wind drove it
right to the hide of exposed stock. This,
followed by such severe cold, will cause
the loss of considerable stock on the
range. Reports are coming i'm of heavy
losses of sheep. One herd ranging east
of this city is reported to have lost fully
fifty per cent. Most of this loss was
occa stoned by the sheep piling on top Of
