Then, with the aid of two accomplioes. Thomas Floyd alias Tattoo Red, and one Simmons, it is alleged he fled. The house was at no time surrounded. Sheriff Cudihee, in person leading 4 posse of deputies. reached the cabin this morning He says they found ample evidence of this remarkable outlaws habitation-
 The situation has simmered down, to all appearances, to long-drawn-out pursuit Tracy's alleged complete dis ability from the wound which it is claimed was inflicted by J. A. and Fred Bunce in the railroad cut near Coving- ton, may, the officers declare, end the man hunt abruptly any day.

Very gratifying progress in the work of surveying the route for the construe- tion of the Alaska Central railroad is being made by the officers and em- ploye> of the company, according to late reports received in Nome. Already there are four surveying parties along the route designated for them to com mence the work on the sections allotted to them.
 One of the survey parties is iE charge of w. T. Chalk. an experienced surveyor. Mr. Chalk has a party of eleven men, and will proceed to point posite Sunrise City. From there the party will proceed to- the mouth of the Susitns river, up that stream to the mouth of the Chulitna river. distance from tlae starting pOino of 125 miles.
 Three other parties are now,on their way to begin the work st different ,Boints ca the line The first of these is in charge of ". G. Atwood, and lett Seattle on May 1. Mr. Atwood came yia Dawson down the Yukon to Ram part. There he began the survey of the road, proceeding southward to the point where the road is to cross the Tanana river
 The second party is iR charge 0f Arthur Raby. It left Seattle on May IS. MT. Raby's party will take up the work at the point where the road crosses the Tanana and follow it south ward as far as the summit.
 The third party is in charge of w. NJ White, and Left Seattle an June 70. MT. White's party will begin work at the mouth of the Chulitna river and proceed northwart as far as the sum- init, there meeting the party in'chargs of MT. Raby-
 There will still be another party dis patched later in the season to survey the extreme southern section of the route from Resurrection bay northward to the point where MT. Chalk is to begin.
 The Seattle officers of the rUad ex- press the greatest qualification at the rapid progress they have been making towards the construction of the road, and hope Jo have a party in the field cross sectioning portion of the route before the end of the season. This will enable them to begin the actual cor struction work without material delay.
 Auditor John F. Baliaine, of the Seattle office, announces that surprise is in store for the friends of the road in the nature of an, announcement that one of the most influential capitalists in the country, and one of the wealthiest men in the west, has accepted position on the board of directors, having pur- chased large block of the stock, thus providing all of the money necessary to proceed with the construction of large portion of the proposed road.

He made it in the course of a speech delivered at the meeting of the solicitors apprentices debating society in Dublin.

He pictured the British empire as hay ing been in danger at the time of the late war, and asked with emphasis. Was England to stand with her arms folded and her hands in her pockets ?" When he realized from the attitude Of his audience what he had done, he ob- served that his only apology was that he was an Irishman.

TERRIBLE SUFFERING
Of Two Survivors of the Wreck of the
 Elangimite.

London, November 16.-The Daily Mails correspondent at Wellington ca bles that two survivors of the wrecked steamer Elangimite, who were rescued from a raft by the British steamer Penguin. went through a dreadful ex- perience. The raft measured only seven by twelve feet, and had seven persons on it when it left the wreck. The only food on board was two ap- ples. The first apple was consumed on Tuesday and the second on Wednes day.
 From Sunday, the day they were wrecked, until Thursday, when they were rescued, the survivors drifted sixty miles on a half submerged raft. Three men died on Monday night from drinking salt water. All the survivors suffered the tortures of thirst, and the four other men and stewardess died Of exhaustion before they were picked up by the Penguin. Only one of the sur vivors was able to stand, and all were terribly emaciated.
