The Daily Alaskan has been flooded with SO many communications with reference to the age of Ann that it can not give space to any more of them, but to settle the problem and stop the sus- peuse it will be statedonce for alll, that Ann is Of age. She has arrived at the age of IS years.
 There are several ways in which the problem can be stated in algebraic equations. One was presented by K. Y. Z, last week. Another solution, which follows, which was handed to the Daily Alaskan the other day, is just as simple as that Of X. Y.Z The difference between the ages is the same now that it was when Ann was l2, and it is the key to the problem. Then lel x represent the difference between the ages of Mary and Ann. It follows that:
 24minus x equals 12 plus x.
 2lequals l2 plus 2T.
 x equals6.
 24 minus 6 equals IS and l2plus 6 equals IS.

Washington. Nov. 20.-The house
Thursday by rising vote Of 1886 to 81
passed the bill to make effective Gu
ban reciprocity. Dissenting votes
were about equally divided between
Republicans and Democrats. but there
was no record vote. the minority hav-
ing too few votes to order the yeas
and nays.
The Democrats. under the leadership
Of Mr.. Williams, sought to the last to
secure amendments to the bill in &C.
cordance with the action of the Demo.
cratic caucus but we're defeated stead
lily. Mr.. Williams made the final eff
fort when he tried to have the bill
recommitted to the ways and means
committee with instructions to amend.
but point of order under the special
rule providing for vote on the bill
without intervening motion was sus-
tanned.
Mr.. Cannon received the applause
Of the Democratic side when he en-
tertained the appeal from his ruling
made by Mr.. Williams. the speaker
saying he preferred to err. if he erred
at all. in giving the house the right to
express its will. The appeal was ia
bled by strict party vote.

Steamer Discovery From Nome Given
Up for Lost.

Seattle. Wash, Nov. 21-The steam
err Discovery. which left Nome Oct.
"a with thirty-one passengers, has not
been sighted since Oct. % and ship.
ping men believe she will never reach
port. The vessel was in command of
Captain McGrath and had on board
Captain Walters. manager of the Dis
covery Transportation company. Both
are experienced navigators, though
not very familiar with the inside pas
sage. The steamer Excelsior reached
Sitka Thursday after covering the
route which the Discovery would have
taken had she ridden out the storms
she encountered. An empty liferaft
belonging to the Discovery was sight
ed by the Excelsior's officers. but no
other trace of the missing vessel was
found
The Nome passenger list of the Dis.
covery is in the possession of the
Nome agent Of the company and the
local officials have no information re.
earding other passengers that may
have been picked up at intermediate
points. Altogether she probably car
ried fifty or sixty persons.

ELEVEN MEN ARE DEAD.
Victims Of the Explosion in the Fer.
guson Mine.

guson Mine.
COnnellsville. Pa, Nov. 23.-Sunday
was sad day in the little mining set
Element of Ferguson nestled in the
hills a mile and half above Dunbar
When the books of the company were
consulted to determine the identity of
the dead and injured in Saturday
nights explosion in the Ferguson
mine. it was found there were twenty
one men in the mine at the time of
the explosion. Ten bodies were taken
from the mine Saturday night: of the
ten injured one died Sunday and one
man is missing whose body is suppos-
ed to be still in the mine.
All day long the trolley cars have
been crowded with curious people 60
ing to and from the scene of the disas-
ter.
Coroner Arthur Hagan of Uniontown
went to Ferguson early Sunday and
viewed the bodies as they lay in the
blacksmith shop and summoned jury
of inquest. Coroner Hagan says he
will not hold the inquest until some of
the injured men at the hospital re-
cover. Strange to say only one of the
bodies at the morgue was disfgured.
All the others were in good condition
and scarcely scratch could be found
on them. indicating that death was
due to suffocation.
The officials declare that no fire
exists in the mine. but it is believed
the fire is burning further back than
where the explosion actually occurred.
The disaster is said to have been
caused by gas accommodating in an un-
used portion of the mine and igniting
from fire burning in an old mine.
