PLAN TO BUILD
 LOCAL HOSPITAL

A canvass of the city will be made within the next few days to see what amount of money can be raised to build hospital in Seward. At a re- ception Monday to Bishop Rowe last night in Moore's hall the subject was discussed and committee appointed to undertake the task of raising the money.
 Unanimity of sentiment was eX- pressed at the public meeting in favor of making every effort to secure the hospital. By invitation Bishop Rowe spoke first, promising to equip and maintain the hospital if the citi- zenS of Seward would erect the build ing. He estimated that the cost would be about S4OO0. Plans submitted by Architect w. J. Stone call for a struc- ture which would cost about $5000.
 Bishop Rowe stated that he would rather build hospital and have some one else conduct it than take the completed building and be responsible for its maintenance for an indefinite period. The latter, however, he said was part of his business in Alaska and he was willing to assume it. Already the Episcopal diocese of Alaska has seven hospitals under his supervision. He promised to furnish the equipment and nurses for the hospital and be re- sponsible for it's maintenance from the day of it's completion.
 The committee appointed to raise the fund met Tuesday night and or ganized by electing F. H. Stewart chairman, Wes Allen treasurer, and M. B. Holland secretary. Plans will be made for a systematic canvass of the town to obtain subscriptions.

Eruptlon Works Yast HavOc

Naples, April IO-All the cities of rhe region surrounding VesuviuS are in state of abject terror. It is esti- mated that at least 500 persons have already perished in various ways as a result of the volcanic eruption.
 While 200 persons were gathered in the public market at Mount Olive to escape the fall of ashes a large section of the roof collapsed and fell upon them, killing every one. At San Giuseppe POO persons have been killed by houses falling upon their heads, and twenty have perished in Sorrento in the same way. These col lapses were caused by the heavy weight of ashes.
 All railroad tracks leading to Naples have been burned to ashes, the fires starting from falling showers of sparks. The air for many miles is so surcharged with gases that it is diff cult to breathe, and in the immediate vicinity of the volcano many persons have been temporarily overcome by suffocatiOn. The sea is greatly agits- ted today and fears of destructive earthquakes or a tidal wave are gener- ally prevalent.

Inhabitants Flee in Terror

Naples, April 1.-The danger to this city from the eruption Of Mount Vesu- viu, t, SD threatening that the inhabi- taut, are fleeing by thousands, The o.ty i, now cnvelopcd in complete darkness. An enormous and impeue- traJle volume of black smoke is rising two miles above the crater of the vol cauo and the wlnd carries it steadily over the city.
 The eruption is increasing in vio- lence and huge incandesceut masses of stones are hurled 5000 feet in the air, describing strcaks of light through the black pail of smoke Communica- ton with the sea has been cut off from this city by the dense clouds of smoke and gaS in which no creature can live. Thousands of people have tainted from inhaling the Sulphwous gases and many thousands more have been rem dered deathly sick from the same cause.
 Several new Assures opened in the sides of the volcano yesterday and to- day, far below the cone, and each opening is emitting great streams of molten lava which are burying the lower slopes of the mountain and the adjacent plain to a great depth. Not a vestige is left of the town of Boscotre- cas and several other towns are nearly covered by the increasing flow. The stream has reached the outskirts of Torve Del Greco, to which the inhabi- tants of the stricken towns had fled for refuge and it seems certain that it must be abandoned within a few hours. The dead now number more than 2OOO and the number is constantly growing.
 Heat Becomes Unbearable
 In all the region near the foot of the volcano the air is unbearable because of the intense heat and the suffocating gases. Many buildings in the cities in the path of destruction are buried ff- teen feet deep under lava and ashes. The town of ISchia, thirty miles west of Vesuvius, is being evacuated today because the stream of lava from an eruption on that side is rushing toward it with great velocity and the flow is increasing in volume.
 It is thought probable that the lava streams may again bury Pompeii as they are approaching very near the ruined city. The devastation already extends over an enormous area. Thousands of acres of vineyards and fertile farms, with buildings, have been destroyed forever, and large numbers of live animals have been buried under the molten streams.
 The national observatory near the top of the cone, and the upper end of the cable railway leading to it were precipitated into the crater yesterday by the collapse of the crust surround ing the crater. The railroad was six miles long from the plain and its lower portion had been consumed by fire from falling sparks.

EIamss shoot IOOO Eeet HIgh

Naplez. April, 9 Eosuv,us is grow ing constantly more active. Great sheets os tamc. ouou 1000 feet high, are shooting into thc sky. Earthquake shock, arc frequent and increasing in violence, and the streams of lava flow inc down thc sides of lhe volcano grow steadily in volume and consequently in their rate of speed,
 It is feared that the whole lower slope of the mountain, on which are located many populouS towns, will be devastated. The area now threatened has population of 100000 people. who will be rendered homeless and will lose their all if the volcano continues to erupt with uuabated force.
 City of Naples in Danger
 The city of Naples itself, is threat sned and the lava stream will soon reach itunless the crater ceases to crupt. An steamers in the bay of Naples have steam up, prepared Go sal at moments notice with the fleeing population whenever the danger of inuudation be- comes imminent. The city is in panic and the general terror caused by the volcanic eruption was greatly intenSi- fed yesterday by two severe earth quake shocks. Allyesterday afternoon and last night crowds ofpeople swarmed she streets, one procession carrying the statue of the Madonna at the head and praying loudly for deliverance.
 Already 4O,OOO people are homeless. Not building is visible in the town of Boscotrecaze, whose destruction was described in yesterdays dispatches, and San Giuseppe was wiped out last night.

To Bring Stock for Forks Station

A letter was received on the Bertha by H. P. Gallapher from A. H. Litch- field at Seattle, formerly with the store at Shushetna station, and owner of the store at the Forks of the Shu- shetna, saying that he will come up in May with stock of fifty tons of goods for the Forks store. He has already arranged with Capt. Swift of the river steamer Caswell, now on her way north, to carry the stock up the Shu- shetna from the inlet. Mir. Litchfeld expects that extensive prospecting on the upper Shushetna this summer will create a good market for supplies in that region.

. - . of S2O.OOQ for the erection of 8 territor- ial capital building atJwncau, Alaska.
 From the Sitka chamber Of com mcrce comes 8 copy of a letter which that organization has sent to Wash ington protesting against the removal of ,he territorial capital to Juneau and against the erection of federal build ing, at the latter place upon the ground that the capital must within a few years be moved westward. The letter follows:
 The report has become current that with the inauguration of the new governor of Alaska, an appropriation would be asked to cover the expense of removing the offices of the governor and suryeyor-general from Sitka to Juneau. The Sitka Chamber of Com merce, believing that such action would work severe hardship on the re- maiuder of the territory, and incur a large and unnecessary expense to the government. sent Jelegrams to many senators and congressman urging that action be deferred until receipt of an explanation by mail. The chamber of commerce herewith presents concisely reasons why the capital should not be removed to point farther east, and respectfully urges you to consider them carefully:
 Public convenience doe, not demand the removal Sitka is more centrally located than Juneau.
 The hurbor of Sitlla iS the best one in Alaska, has the best anchorage, and is absolutely free from ice at all times. lNaval or rcyeuye officers will sub stantiatc this statemeptl If is equally accessible from the ocean or inside passage
 The government has buildings and ground at Sitka but has none at Juneau. The main office of the Alaska cable is situated here.
 We fully recognize that the capital will have to be removed from Sitka within few years, but contend that the new location will be west and not east of this town. The western coun- try is growing and being populated so rapidly that it will be the only logical location for the capital. It is the only section in which agriculture can be pursued with any degree of success. Its mining, fishing and kindred indus tries overShadow those of Southeastern Alaska. Two railroads are actually under construction, ore being operated for forty miles. Several short lines from Nome, Fairbanks, Yakutat and other places, have been in operation for several years. They are all to the west of Sitka.
 The steamboat travel to Western Alaska, both as regards passengers and freight, is double that of South eastern Alaska. Six years ago one small steamboat handled all of the business of Western Alaska; now nine regular boats of large size run be- tween Seattle and Seward, stopping at Sitka. This summer no less than fif- teen large steamers are advertised to make two round trips a month from Seattle to Nome from June to Novem- Der.
 For the reason that Western Alaska is growing with such tremendous rapidity, we contend that the removal of the governor and surveyor~general to Juneau now, would incur an ex- pense to the government that would not only be great. but useless, as another removal to Valdez or Seward would be inevitable in a few years.

Nelson through the ropes. Nelson ap- peared very tired. Cans was the fresh CT of the two as the round ended.
 Round 85-Both men tottered about the ring, not landing a blow. Nelson at close quarters worked two lefts short arm blows and the bell closed a very slow and tiresome round.
 Round 36-NeIson got his right light ly to the jaw. Nelson pushed Cans against the ropes and Cans just step ped out of the way of right upper out.
 Round 37-Nelson was again told to stop fighting with his head. Nelson swung his left for the jaw that missed Its mark three feet They leaned up against each other and little attempts to strike blow were made. Then Cans whipped a powerful left to the wind, and they clinched. Both men were very careful Cans woke up the crowd by catching Nelson and putting in several straight lefts to the face.
 Round 3S-Nelson swung 8 left to the jaw, and after a clinch Cans put in two rights to the Dane's face. Both men were leg weary, and stalled and l clinched as much as they could. It was next to impossible to get the Dane to fight at long range. Cans likewise seemed perfectly content to ease up and rest.
 Round 39-Nelson, by way of variety, sent In hard left to the jaw, and Cans came back with two lefts to the Jaw. Nelson's left eye is closed. Round 40-Gans got Nelson at arms length, and took advantage of this con- cession by sending his left twice to the Danes face. Cans complained again i about Nelson's head, and sent Nelson's head back with a left uppercut to the jaw.
 Round 41-They came up slowly and clinched. Cans asked Billy Nolan fa- cetiously, What time is it?" Then they resumed the clinchlng contest. Cans shot straight right to the mouth and Nelson rebuked him with two lefts to the stomach Nelson whipped his left to face and the men ceased fighting entirely. Suddenly Nelson landed hard left hook to the jaw, and Cans fought him away, landing two lefts to the face and right on body. Both men i Wrestled wearily about the ring, and 1t was hard to tell which was the more tired as they went to them corners.
 Round 42-Gans started the round with straight left to the face, and they clinched. As the men broke from a clinch Nelson deliberately struck Cans low, and the colored man slowly sank to the floor. The blow was clear ly observed by every one in the arena, and there was not a murmur of dissent from the spectators as the long drawn out battle was terminated.
 Goldfelds, Nev., Sept 3.-Battling Nelson lost to-day's fight by fouling Joe Cans in the forty-second round of the best and longest fight seen in many years. Both men were Cred when the fight ended, bat Cans was apparently the stronger. He was away ahead on l points and smashed and cut Nelson | through the fight without being severe l ly hurt himself

 Round 19-Just befQre the gong rang Cans sent in left and two stiff rights to the jaw and Nelson put in a right on the head. There was more wrestling than fighting in the round and deroga- tory comments were passed around the ring side.
 Round 21-Nelson came up as if noth- ing had happened. His left eye was badly swollen and his right discolored. Cans had shade the better of this round.
 Round 23-At close quarters Nelson put two rights over the negro's heart and then followed the usual course of wrestling The crowd rose to its feet at the end of the round and yelled "Nelson!" "Nelson" It was the Danes s round.
 Round 24-Nelson drove Cans back to the ropes and put in two lefts to the body before Cans clinched. Nelson had a shade the better.
 Nelson rocked the negro's head with right and left to the jaw. He followed this with two rights and a left to the jaw Cans aMoke from his apparent 7somnolence and more than evened up matters by hammering vioiously Nell sons face with right and left punches. Nelson uppercut Cans on the jaw with left. Both men appeared tired at this stage of the contest.
 Round 27-Nelson fought viciously, and gave the negro more than he had received as the round terminated. It was an even round. Both were tired.
 Round 2S-Gans jabbed Nelson on the mouth with the left and Nelson butted the colored man with his head. Cans kept at his man. who was groggy, and the bell changed.
 Round 29-Gans' round.
 Round 31-The men were locked in a clinch when the bell rang. The fight apparently has settled down to ques- ton of the survival of the fittest
 Cans sent Nelson back with two straight lefts and three rights to Nell sons sore eye. Again the gong brought relief to Nelson and saved him from almost sure defeat.
 Round 3S-Gans peppered Nels1n's faceto a jelly with terrific right swings. Nelson's left eye was entirely closed. Nelson punched Cans to the ropes and they fought at close range, Cans rest ing and saving his strength, Nelson bled profusely as the men worked to the center of the ring. It was a sight to behold. Cans sent Nelson back with a left to the jaw. Both men were very weak as the gong rang, Nelson for the first. time showing great weariness. Cans round.
