.THE. STRANDED OF NOME.

JaMes w. Bell who arrived i'll Nome on Saturday from Seattle, states that the transport Egert had just arrived at that port when he left. was current that the Egbert would return to Nome and take out those persons who unable to buy their passages to the outside. He could not vouch for the truth of the rumor, however We sincerely trust that 1t may prove true and that the Egbert may return: That there is large number of people in Nome who desrous of going to the outside, but who have the means ct doing go, is apparent. Many private citizens attest to this fact, also he United States officials. We regret to say it, but Nome is camp of Adullamesthe discontented. Hard luck stories fill the air; there are numbers of "broke" men and women, and the close of navigation is peril ensly near. That people are stranded in this com munity is not to be considered the fault of the country. There any number of financially em. barrassed people in any civilized community, but being stranded in Seattle San Francisco, i'm agne, is much less appalling than to be stranded on the sores of Boring at the approach of the winter season. Many really deserving persons find them- selves in this undesirable predcament. They have done their best, but conditions against them Perhaps it error of judgment that they came here. Nevertheless, being here and unable to- pay the transportation companies the price demanded what is to be done about it The city is in no con- Gtion to furnish free transportation to any, mat ter-how deserving they may be. The United States officials cannot be expected to dig down into their pockets and pay fares for all who may be in need The government will not reimburse them for ary outlay of this kind.
 We have, heretofore. had occasion to remark that nowhere else except Alaska is provision to be found for taking of the sick or indgen who are likely to become charge upon the public auhor tics. The city of Nome maintains free public hos pital, q most admirably conducted institution, by the way and which has afforded shelter and care for many an unfortunate. But the government has done absolutely nothing toward this end. In state territory, the state territory makes appropna dons for these purposes. But Alaska is neither a stste nor territory. In that bright galaxy it is neither fish, flesh fowl It is governed-thc Lord save the mark-direct from Washington Hence the nggardiy, beggariy one-horse, account treatment that is accorded us. We can't vote but, thank Heaven, we can "kick." That blessed privilege has not as yet been taken from us.
 We sincerely hope that the 'riends of Alaska who may be in Washington this winter will endeavor to have congress make an appropriation to be used slong the lines We have suggested. Let them demand it, and not seek it supplicants. The time for beg ging for crumbs, with knees knocking together. at the door of congress has passed There forty thousand American citizens in Alaska, and it is xbout time that asserted ourselves:

We sincerely hope that some action will be taken this winter to induce the posoce department to re- ducc the fees charged for the rent of boxes and drawers in the Nome posofice. These fees are fixed by the department. and double those charged in large cities of the States. We do not see in view of the fact that Alaska yearly covers into the United States treasury large surplus, why the postoce de- partment should indulge in petty hod-up of thi, kind

Ther. gre few in Nome, who conycnant with the case. who can be found to defend Allen. There are, how ever. many who inclined to believe that Dolan was the lesser criminal of the trio. Aliens pardon by the president can only be characterized as nfs taken cemency. No one, however, can blame his father for using every effort to obtain freedom for his son; no matter how unworthy he may be. In the meantime we suppose his companions in crime and misfortune may rot at McNeilPs island, because of the lack of influential friends and political pull.

THE MARKETS OF EUROPE.
Stocks Depressed by Weakness of

LONDON, July 22.-The markets here

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Intense Excitement and Great
Strength in Corn.

CHICAGO, July 22.-Wheat opened
strong and advanced 4S.c over Saturdays s
close. The strength in coarse grains and
a Id to lid advance at Liverpool and
further confirmation of damage in the
Northwest were factors. There was a
splendid increase in the commission house
business. Shorts covered heavily. Paris
closed / centime higher and Antwerp Is

sage decreased / ,9sI. 900 bushels. The vis-
BILE supply decreased 29s, 600 bushels. There

The corn market was one of intense
excitement and developed great strength,
selling 424c over Saturdays close. The
volume of trade was the largest since the
upward movement began. Outsiders took
local offerings and carried the market
up with a rush at times. There was no
break nor signs of one in the Western
weather conditions. Local stocks of corn
increased 1868, 900 bushels. The visible sup

Oats shared in the excitement and
strength of the other markets. The fea-
ture of the trade was a disposition of
holders being unwilling to realize. This
kept the market bare of offerings all day.
The drought is the factor. Immense de-
mand is expected for the new crop, owing
to the failure of hay and fodder. Local
stocks decreased 3C6. 900 bushels. The visi-
bic supply decreased 1.0S0 600 bushels. Re-
ceipts. 81 cars, with 145 estimated for to-
morrow.
Provisions were active and higher jan
uary deliveries showing the most advance
by the situation in corn. The liberal hog
movement induced considerable realizing

ers. including the largest, sold January

closing was firm. This market has broad

speculative demand.

Corbin, KY, Jan. II. --''As result
OF the riot here, last night. two persona
were killed, one mortaily wounded,
three or four others wounded and q
building wrecked by dynamite.
The dead: Miss Susan Cox, an limo
cent bystander, killed by stray bullet
Sutton Faris, killed by the explosion.
The wounded James Shotwell. fatal
Hadley Bradley, Tracy Cooper and az
unknown travelling salesman.
At noon, yesterday, james Shotwell
was shot and mortally wounded by
Rolla White, who had become angered
with Shotwell on being refused to
longer keep company with ShotwelI'a
daughter.
White at once went to the house OF
bis brother. where he surrendered to a
deputy sheriff. E-5s

Boston, Jan. 49, announcement has
been made of most of the requests and
donations received by Harvard Uniyer-
sity in the last year, and the total, ex
elusive of a few not yet made public,
is shown to be s53l,5l9. Those not yet
announced, according TO Charles Fran
oils Adams, DR., are not OF substantial
Importance, so that this amount. repre-
sents nearly the total, with the excep-
tion, however, of the majority OF the
gifts made to the Cuban teachers fund.
The donations to this fund, amounting
in all to about $50, 900, will be acknowi-
edged in detail in the annual reports.
The. total, even including the Cuban
teaehers' fund, appears small in com.
parison with the gifts of 1899, which
amounted in all to 81, 54s, 829, but the
difference is explained by the very large
amount received during the latter year
from unusually heavy bequests..

A GOOD INVESTMENT.

Supreme Lodge of Knights 6f Pythias to
Hold Its yiimingtoD Property.
The Supreme Lodge, Knights Of
Pythias, owns O tract OF land In the
vicinity of Spruce and Thirtieth
streets, and recently the question arose
as to whether it would he advisable to
continue to hold the land or sell 1t. In
order to arrive at some definite con-
clusion Ogden III. Fathers OF James,
vile, Wis, supreme chancellor, came
to Wilmington and In company with
Street and Sew or Director Simmons,
who is prominent member of the
order, visited the land and made a
critical examination thereof, after
which the supreme chancellor decided
that 1t would be more iudlcious 90 hold
the land than sell 10. On that subject
he has sent the following communion
tion to subordinate lodges all over the
United States, which shows the value

bis estimation Of the city's future.
My conclusion Is that We ought not
to sell the Wilmington lands for the
present, although am pretty certain
that we car get S25 900 fol the property.

have been paying $3.50 year interest
on mortgages amounting to s12, 900.
We shall pay both mortgages by the
first of May. 80 there will be no further

METRIC SYSTEM.
The United States May he Forced to
Adopt It..

The United States May BE Forced to
Adopt 1t.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
Our great exporting interests may
before long find it worth while 10 CON
slider whether or not they can enter the
best foreign markets with sufficient ad-
vantage unless we adopt the metric
system. Russia has adopted it, and this
country and Great Britain are the only
great exporting nations which have re-
fused to do SO. The argument for a
change is that we are at disadvantage
with German and French competition
in all the markets of the Latin and
Latin-American nations az we'll as the
Eastern markets, which are being
familiarized with the metric system by
German enterprise. This is iudisputa-
BILE, and the question is whether we
are strong enough to stand out against
what is becoming a universal rule Of
commerce. In Great Britain oppose
tion to the metric system i'd giving way,
forced by the same stress OF German
competition which we shall have to
meet. There IL no question az to its
Endorsement by scientific opinion, al
though Herbert Spencer is conspicu-
GUS exception, he having written
strongly against it. In some of nur
government departments 1t is already
compulsory, made SO practically by the
accommodation CT almost every official
whose duties touch the qualitative
measurements of commerce. The rea.
son why Congressional bills to make
it compulsory never get beyond COM
mittee seems to be nothing more than
conservative dislike to chfnge; but, as
friends of the system point out, IL man
ufaotuiers and merchants only knew
more gene, ally what a valuable labor
saving device it is, opposition would
speedily disappear. The experience of
all Continental Europe IS an indorse
ment of it, even whore its use has been
optional, and the new position of this
country as an exporting nation cannot
be maintained with the greatest eff
cheney unless it is adopted: The tran
sitional period hitherto allowed in the
various Congressional bills to introduce
1t would give ample time for change
without confusing business interests.
