WHERE MAN HAD NOT BEEN.
Geological Survey Party Returns From
Wilds of Alaska.


Seattle, Oct. 2.-After traversing a
wilderness where white men have never
before ventured, the United States
geological survey has completed a pre-
liminary examination of the country
lying between Cook inlet and the
Tanana.
A party of seven, under the leader
ship of Alfred H. Brooks. made the
trip from Tynook to the Tanana, and
later leahed Ramp .rt, ON the Yukon,
after several months hard work. The
entire country was carefully mapped,
and the reports have been sent on to
Washington by Mr.. Brooks, now in
Seattle.
Several new details were discovered
which will greatly aid future pros
pectors.
The trip was snch hard one that,
out of 20 carefully selected horses, only
IL survived. For hundreds of miles
the party never saw white man, and
indeed, were the majority OF the time
in a totally uninhabite land. They
passed closer to Mount Mckinley than
any other white man. Many new
streams we're located and named. and
another party will probably be sent in
next year to continue the work.

Manila, Oct. g. 1t is understood
that 5,l24 cases of cholera and 2,740
deaths from that disease were reported
in the province of lilo lilo, Island of
Panay, on Monday. This is the high
est record for any district since the out
break of the disease occurred, and ex-
ceeds the total of Manila and many of
the provinces since the commencement.
The town of Miago, in the province of
Ilo Ilo, was the worst sufferer, 1,173
cases being reported there Monday.
At Cabettaun there were S99 cases,
and at Dumanges S95 cases we're re-
ported on Monday. The people are
fleeing to the mountains, leaving the
dead unburied and the dying uncared
for. The government has ordered ad-
ditional doctors and medicines to be
sent to lilo lilo. The number of vic
Tins makes ordinary sanitary measures
impossible. The total of all the pro-

TO END THE STRIKE.
President Will See What May be Done In
the Coal Fields.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The president
yesterday took initiative steps to ascer-
tain what, if anything, could be done
by the federal authority to settle the
coal strike. The result was general
expression of opinion by the advisers
of the president, who were present, to
the effect that the federal laws and con-
stitution do not afford means of federal
interference to end the strike, but
another conference will be held today,
and the president will do all he can
properly and legally to bring about a
settlement. At the temporary White
House conference was held with the
three cabinet officers Attorney Gene
raj Knox, Secretary Moody and Post
master General Payne. Governor
Crane, of Massachusetts,, was also
present. These gentlemen met with
President Roosevelt, and after the sub
ject had been considered for some time,
they adjourned to another room and
conferred together for an hour. They
all returned later in the day and held
another conference with the president,
and the strike situation was discussed
further.
President Roosevelt is deeply con-
cerned over the situation. The ap-
proach of winter, with coal famine
imminent, and the distress end suffer-
ing that must ensue unless coal be-
comes available, present situation
which, he thinks, should receive the
attention OF the administration if there
is anything that can be done by the
government. Many appeals have been
made to him, and many suggestions
have been received by him, and it was
with a view to- ascertain what power
the federal authority could evoke that
caused the conference to be held.
During the conference every phase OF
the situationl was discussed. The
general opinion of the advisers was that
the situation did not present case in
which there could be federal intetfer-
ence by any warrant of law. There
has been no interference with federal
authority in the mining region, either
by stoppage of the mails or resistance
of the United States court pro, ess. 1t
was pointed out that there was no Occa-
sion for the use of federal troops, as
Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania. had
not called on the government for assist
ance, nor had he even exhausted the
resources of the state by calling out the
full strength of the state militia.

DC Large as Ever
Philadelphia, Sept 80. - General
Manager Luther, of the Philadelphia
& Reading railroad company's coal
property, has informed the sales depart
ment of the company that all the Read
ing's important mines are in fairly
good condition, and that were the
miners to retrun to work, comparative
ly little time will elapse before they
will be turning out their normal pro-
duction. 1t is true that several of the
Reading collieries are flooded, but
these have been abandoned for time
at least. Officials of the Pennsyl-
vania roads anthracite companies re.
port that their mines are in such con.
dition that when the miners 60 back
to work the collieries will be able to
produce three-fourths of their normal
output, and that within a week they
would be in perfect shape.

EARTHQUAKES IN MEXICO.
Seventy-ton Crane Thrown from Railroad
Into the Bay.

Mexico City, Sept. 3O.-Advices
from Salina Cruz, the Pacific terminus
of the Tehuantepec National railroad
which is being rebuilt by the English
contractor, state that Tuesday no less
than rs shocks of earthquake were felt,
causing much alarm. The most serious
damage was done to an immense 70-ton
crane used on the construction of the
breakwater, it being thrown from the
track into the bay. A majority of the
smaller cranes used on the works are
also reported to have been thrown out
of place.
1t is probable that the construction
of the artificial harbor will be delayed
six months, as the crane was thrown
into deep water, and it will require
time to recover it.

Rev. Bascom Anthony had a live

his Morning News shortly after

the sprinting minister had been able
to hold out a little longer he
would probably have captured the
thief. AS it was the pace was SO live

fleeing negro all the time he was
winded and had to give up the chase.
Mr.. Anthony was on his way to
the basement of his home, No. ga
Barnard street. AS he came
down the stairs he saw his copy of
the Morning News sticking under the
door and as he looked it slowly dis
appeared.
Mr.. Anthony is a firm believer In
newspapers and would as soon go with
out his breakfast as his newspaper.
He ran out in pursuit of the dis
appearing paper. When he
reached the street, however,
no thief was in sight. He ran to the
anybody. He then turned in the other
direction and caught sight of ne
gro going down Hull street. The min
lister started after him and for few
minutes it was a very lively gait for
both minister and thief. Mr.. Anthony
gained rapidly and the negro turned
into Whitaker street, with the minister
hot on his heels and gaining all the
time. He then turned into Perry lane.
Mr.. Anthony continued the chase back
to Barnard street. and there
gave it up, as he was winded.
The chase, although a serious matter
for all concerned, was not without its
not the only thing that the negro had
stolen during his rounds, but his two
huge coat tail pockets bulged out with
at least eight bottles of milk which he
had pilfered.
During the run the Negroes
coat-tails frequently came in
contact with his arms. This resulted
ed in the gradual, but sure, demolition
of the milk bottles. AS he ran the
milk spurted out in streams. 1t flowed
down and jetted up and by the time
Mr.. Anthony gave up the pursuit the
negro was covered with milk from
head to heels.
