MORE PAY FOR LABOR.
Thousands of Workingmen Seek Better
 Conditions.

NEW YORK, May 2.-Workingmen to the number of 14O,OOO are concerned in movement in this city for higher wages.
 The leaders of this movement declare that in its magnitude it is unparalleled in the. history of like demands in any city in the world. In the case of a large contingent the increases asked have been granted. ~
 These men have used their influence to avert strikes through arbitration. Some of those who are dissatisfied be- cause they have not gained their ends threaten to mar the otherwise peace full situation by abandoning their work. There are more than 125,OO0 of the latter class. About 14,000 are sat isfied with what they have received in answer to their formal requests.
 About 4,7OO structural iron workers connected with the United House smiths and Bridgemen's union have received increased wages from the Ma tionaI Association of Structural Iron Manufacturers and Erectors.
 Although conciliatory methods have averted labor. dissensions that portend ed most extensive trade embarrass ment in New York on May 1, several serious demonstrations have taken place. Between 10000 and 30,0O0 em- ployees in the subway are on strike, and construction is thoroughly halted. The striking laborers,. who are mostly Italians, paraded yesterday over a course from Harlem to Washington square.
 Only about seventy-five or eighty tugs of independent companies are tied up, and traffic is not affected to any serious extent.
 The Team Drivers union, compris- ing about 4,00O men, are on strike for higher wages.

raising. Here there are 100000 square miles of barren tundra, where no horse, COW, sheep or goat can find pasture. but everywhere on this vast expanse of frozen land the reindeer can find the long, ibrous white moss which is his food. There is also plenty of room for 1o,ooo,oo0 of these hardy animals.
 The reindeer is not natural inha bi- tant of Alaska, having been imported from Siberia and Lapland. Some 12 years ago Dr. Sheldon Jackson brought herd of 16 reindeer across Behring strait from Siberia and started col- ony at Unalaska, off the coast of Alas ka. To-day there are about 6,oo0 head in the herds distributed throughout the country, less than 1000 of them having been imported, and at no far distant day Alaska will no doubt have great reindeer ranches like the great cattle ranches of our southwest, and they will be no less profitable.
 The original motive in bringing the reindeer to Alaska was purely philan- thropic-to give the native perma- nent food supply, for a few years ago it was seen that the growing scarcity of the present source in the wild cari- bou and the walrus and seal, would soon leave a starving people on the hands of the government. And the inn portation of the reindeer has proved a wise matter, for he has proven use full as we'll as profitable. As a packerhe has become almost indispensable, for he has proven immeasura bly, superior to the dog teams. A pair of them can pull a. load of from 500 to 700 poui1Cls at the rate uf 35 miles a day and keep + up for weeks at time. Reindeer teams during the1astyear carried the United States mail from Nome to Cam dle City, on the Arctic ocean, a distance of 260 miles. The teams had heavy loads of passengers and freight, and made the distance in eight days. Dog

 The admirers of Joe Began, who for merly played center field for the in the bereavement which he recently sustained in the loss of his only son, promising boy of years. Joe is now working in Stamford, where he will probably captain the base ball team in that city this season. His three chil- dren, his wife and himself were all down with scarlet fever at the same time. He recovered quickly, as he had but mild attack, but his children were less fortunate The boy died and his two little girls lay at deaths door for some days. It is believed that the other members of his family are now beyond danger. Joe says the loss ot his little son has taken away much ot his ambition to play base ball.

REINDEER IN ALASKA
Uses to Which They Are Put in the

They Are of Use Alike to the Native and the Miner for Transporta-
 ton and Other Pur- poses.

The reindeer is an animal little known to people throughout the "states," and outside of the few at some of the larger geological gardens he is an animal of distinct scarcity in this country. This fact is not at all curious, for, although he would no doubt be a useful and profitable ami nal if he could be raised for domestic purposes, nature intended him princi- pally for the colder climes, where he can sustain life where no other animal can.

Old Cup Yacht America to Remain

 Boston, Mass, May 2.-Congressman Ames of Lowell, owner of the old yacht America, first winner of the cup, denies that the boat is to be sold or broken up.
 ''The American has not been sold, and will not be sold,'' said MT Ames. ''I have seen the stories published. and cannot imagine where they originated, especially the one which says that the yacht will be broken up and pieces of her distributed as souvenirs. We have not the slightest intention of doing anything of the kind. The yacht will not be placed in commission, and for the present she will remain where she is tied up between the Chelsea bridges

NEW YORK, May 2.-The surprise at Jamaica was the defeat of the i to 4 favorite Julia I. in the fourth race Ju- lia M., on her good race of Wednesday, was made a prohibitive favorite, but third to Contentious and Mordellar was the best she could do.

teams would have required Is to 20 days for the trip.
 When the caravan halts the deer,are turned loose and they wander around at will and provide their own food, while with the dog teams it must aI- ways be carried, taking up valua ble space. The reindeer can also travel at night as well as day, and thus dur ing the long arctic night, when dogs are inefficient, transportation is aI- ways possible with a reindeer team.
 Without the reindeer prospecting is. impossible at a distance from the base of supplies, as the prospector can go oaly as far as the provisions he can carry will last With ten head of rein deer, which he can handle, packing 100 pounds each, he can be gone for months, penetrating hundreds of miles distant.
 He is not only valuable as a pack animal, for the female gives about a teacupful of very rich milk, which makes delicious cheese. Mixed with a little water, the milk forms refresh irg drink. If trained to the sled or az a packer he is worth from $1Oo to $50, if he is simply raised for his neat he will bring from $50 to $10O at the mines.

 Seattle, Wash, May 2.-"Hello, champ" exclaimed rather good look ing yellow boy, rushing up to Young Corbett upon the latter's arrival in this city. Champ yourself, right back at you," replied Corbett, taking the prot fered hand. Thus it was that William Rothwell, champion featherweight of the world, and Joe Cans, the champion lightweight of the world, met and ex- changed greetings. Behind, the two, as they stood talking, lowered 8 big, black man, his face all ashine with joy, and his teeth glistening like worries. It was Young Peter Jackson. It was the first time he had been in Seattle for years, and he was simply wild with impatience. to get up town and see some of his old-time friends. "Well, Billy" said Cans, II see you put Terry out again" ''Oh, yes,'' replied the Den yer lad, in that quiet way of his, =" robbed him out of it again. Terry is a hard loser, you know" Say, Al" said Corbett, addressing Al Herford from Baltimore, who is handling the two black fighters, If you can get as good as 10 to i when Joe fights Tracey in Portland put up $1,00O for me-" Here the boy talk,'' said Al. "Where doyou all think I'm going to get $1,OO0 to put up?' ''None of that now," re- sponded Corbett. "You know you own four brick blocks in Baltimore, and your pants bag at the knees carrying your money around.'' Coming out to the coast in August to see Corbett and Jeffries fight?" inquired the white champion of the colored champion. Sure" said Joe. T wouldn't miss out on that scrap for whole lot" "Quit yer kiddin'," responded the champion, "Did you ever see a fighter who could guess right on fight? It's just like taking a tip from 8 jockey; you'll walk home that night" Cans is a good deal like Young Corbett in that he does not care to hear himself talked about. While at the theater some one sug- gested that Cans go out on the stage and be introduced, but he shied away from the suggestion like a young colt. He wanted to talk to Corbett about New York, and the two were planning great things when they meet there next summer. "Joe here is the greatest fighting machine that ever stepped into a ring said Corbett, "and, besides that, he is the whitest coon that ever breathed." Joe showed all of his per- feet teeth, as he patted the stocky lit tie champion on the back and said: "You're getting fat as g. pig. BilIy.'
