BERTHoLF SUCCESSFUL.
Fulfilled the Object of His journey to Siberia
Secured 254 Reindeer.

Seattle. Oct. 81. - DR.. Sheldon
jackson, general agent for the bureau
of education in Alaska, has arrived
in Seattle from the land of his labors,
having taken passage on the City of
Topeka from Ketchian. He brings
additional details of the experiences
of Lieutenant Bertholf, who was
sent to Siberia to purchase reindeer
| for the government.
DIR. Jackson tells a different tale
of the daring young revenue officer,
who, it now appears, was never in
danger, and near starvation in his
long and tedious journey through
Siberia.
Lieutenant Bertholf left Washing
ton. D. c., last January, going to St.
Petersburg, thence to Irkutsk.
From there he disappeared on the
steppes. His mission, as stated
above, was to procure herd of rein
deer of larger size than those now
in Alaska A revenue cutter was to
meet him and convey the animals,
and the lieutenant, to Alaska, but
owing to circumstances, the govern
ment could not send one, and it was
thought for time he might perish.
/ A short time ago there came q
brief notice that he had landed al
Port Clarence with herd of rein
deer. He was not expected to return
for year or more, but his usual re-
sourceful ability evidently brought
him out earlier. He travelled across
Russia and Siberia very rapidly
going with trained guides in storms
often when many men would hav,
rested in some camp retreat.
I After leaving the railway, he ira
yersed !, 800 miles of unknown Siberi.
until near Orla, on the Okhotsk sea
| he found the breed Of reindeer b.
wanted, purchased 254 head and go
them to Baroness Korfg bay, wher
shipment could be made. He thel
retraced his steps to Vladivostocl
under very trying conditions. Il
one instance broke a trail through
snow waist deep for distance of 10
miles. This he accomplished by rid
ing the reindeer ahead, under saddle
taking turns as they became exhaust
ed with the continued effort. Arriy
ing at Vladivostock, Lieutenant Bert
holt chartered Russian tram
!. steamer and returned to the poin
where he had the reindeer located
;, loaded them safely and landed the1
in excellent condition at Port Clal
:. ence, where they are now bein
f wintered. --z--

viding for at least three water tight
compartments in all sea-going and
coastwise steamers, be amended to in
ciude all passenger and ferry boats
hereafter built of 500 tons and up
ward, regardless of the watesr they

Unsuccessful Efforts Made to Rescue Two
Utah Miners.

Salt Lake, Utah, Oct. ga tele-
phone message from Bingham, Utah,
tonight states that up to 10 P. M,
rescuing parties had failed to reach
Charles Nutting and William Ander-
son, the two miners who were entomb-
ed in a cave-in in the Highland Boy
mine. At that hour it was not
known whether the imprisoned men
were dead or alive, their signals hav-
ing ceased after midnight last night.
Great difficulty is being encountered
in reaching the place where the men
are located. The walls of the tunnel
are constantly crumbling, not only
impeding the work of rescue, but also
endangering the lives of the miners
who were endeavoring to save theil
entombed comrades.

ON CONSERVATIVE LINES.
Work Of Board Recognizing Chinese Govern.

Washington, Oct 30.-The state
department has received from Minis
ter Conger at Pekin, translation of
q series of preliminary regulations
adopted by the recently organized
Chinese Board of National Admins
tration, charged with the reorganiza-
tion of that government on modern
and efficient lines The sentiments
expressed are conservative, says Mr..
Conger, and it is made plain that
there is no intention to initiate the
too brisk pace set by the reformers
of 1898, but instead to study West
ern methods and, without adopting
Western civilization as whole, to
adapt to Chinese conditions such ms
titutions as seem likely to add
strength to the state.
