THE STI.R TN INDIA.

The political situation in India isn't all smooth. It was the subject of part of an address which was delivered be- fore the Punjab University the other day hv Sir Charles Rlvaz, who has been lieutenant governor of the Punjab for the last five years. He said that the present time in India was charac- terized by a spirit of political activity among the educated classes, by yearn> ings on their part for the creation of a nationality. and a desire to take an increased share in the administration of the Indian Empire. Those responsi- ble for the good government of the de- pendency could sympathize with those aims and aspirations he said, so long as they were pursued in a proper spir- it; but they had also to consider the wishes of the voiceless millions whose
 welfare and interests they held in sac red trust Consequently, they were ! bound to proceed with deliberate eau tion in making any material changes 1 in system of administrations which,
 whatever it's detractors might assert

The growth of the average finger nail is computed to be one-thirty-sec- ond of an inch week, or little more than an inch and a half Q year. The finger nails, Popular Science siftings states, are said to grow faster in the summer than in the winter. The nail on the middle finger grows faster than any of the other uails, and that on the thumb grows slowest. It is also said that the nails on the right hand grow faster than those on the left hand. According to the rate of growth stated the average time taken for each finger nail to grow it's full length is about 4our and a half months, and at this rate a man seventy years old would have renewed his nails one hundred and eighty-six times. Taking the length of each nail as half an inch, he would have grown seven feet nine inches of nail on eacf finger and or all his fingers and thumbs an aggre- gate length of seventy-seven and half feet.

TO ARREST
 DELINQuEN1s

Four ordinances came up before the common council last night at their regular meeting. Two of them were passed under the suspension of the rules, while the other two will be taken up later.
 The first new ordinance introduced gave the power to the city clerk to issue warrants for the arrest of all persons who have failed to pay their taxes on either personal or real estate property. As soon as the owner of the property has been taken into custody his possessions will be confiscated by the city, and within fifteen days sold at public auction. Any one who is ar rested because their taxes have be- come delinquent are subject to fine of not more than $10O or twenty-five days imprisonment, or both. The ordi- rance met with unanimous approval of the council, the rules being suspended to allow it's passage that it might be- come law as soon as possible. The council are very determined to get in the delinquent taxes, and as all other methods seem 10 have failed they have taken a more drastic method.
 The second ordinance prescribed the conditions under which messenger ser vice, telephone and telegraph com panies could be operated. There is a tax put on each pole and mile of wire, while the prices to be charged for ser vice are distinctly brought out For each pole erected on the planked streets the sum of $6 will be charged ty the city. For those erected on gray eled highways a tax of $4 will be made, and $3 must be paid on all other poles
 The prices to be charged for tele- phone service are as follows: Busi- ness houses, $7.50 per month; hotels and restaurants, $5; professional men, $4 residences 8, and all others 8. Whenever there is more than one per- son on a line a reduction of Fl must be made to each party using the line. This ordinace was referred to the law committee.
 An ordinance to prevent the spread of disease and giving the city health officer the right to examine all per sons and ships entering Nome," was read and will be considered later. To- and the mayor will meet with Collector of Customs Garfield to discuss this ordinance. It is the expressed wish of the council that the government do all inspecting of boats. thereby relieving

Alone and Unattended, AL Mlhern, Nome Prospector Dies on the Kuskokwim River, After 5 Days of Untold Suffering Dary Tells Tale
 of Awful Suffering

March 31-Cold, thirsty. Out of fire.
 "April 1-Cold and thirsty.
 April 2-Cold and thirsty"
 After April it is quite apparent that Milhern was unable to write much. For the next three days ditto mark swere used. On the night of April he probably succumbed to his terrible suffering. for on the next day he was found-dead.
 No one can imagine the horror of such a death. Each day growing lower and lower, no fire. nothing to eat, nobody to help him. Dying inch by inch, yet hoping and praying to the last that his friend Fisher would come in time to save him. But Fisher was very sick himself, though he sent a re lief party just as soon as was pos sible.
 Judge McGrath, commissioner of the Kuskokwim, took charge of the dead mans outfit. He sold it at auction, realizing about $25O on the sale.
 Among Milhern't papers were found powers of attorney from the follow ing Nome men: l.. B. Horton. w. A. Hoskins, Fred Anderson, 0. F. King, w. E. Kirk. Charles Poulson and, Dave Fell. letter was also found contain ing s10 and note stating that the n,orey was to pay his Seattlr taxes.

IT IS TO LAUGH.

If one of the ordinances which had it's first reading at the common council meeting last evening is made a law there is very liable to be great deal of trouble. Reference is made to the one which regulates the charges and taxes of all messenger and telephone services in the city of Nome. It would lave special bearing on the business of the Alaska Telephone x Telegraph Company, whose business in Nome is very extensive.
 The ordinance provides that the charges for the services of the com panys lines shall be reduced from S9 Ter cent to about 50 per cent. A heavy tax is also put on every pole in town.
 When MT. Boyd was interviewed to- day in regard to how the ordinance would affect him he laughed heartily He stated that he had a twenty-five year contract with the city, and should they break it. as the passage of the or dinance would mean, they would lay themselves open to heavy damages.

 HAVE SPAT

Things were lively at the council meeting for few moments last night, Dr. Hill was making his report regard ing the incipient smallpox case which he discovered in the city. After giving his opinion of the matter he suggeste ] to the council that pr. Derbyshire, who was present, be asked to speak. Whe l the latter physician first began talking he limited his remarks to the recent patient. but soon took up the case which was discovered on board of the steamship Ohio when she reached this port a week ago.
 Many will remember that there was some little feeling between Doctors Hill and Derbyshire at the time the Ohio arrived here. Each believed that it was his duty to examine the passen- gers, the former in the interest of the city, and the latter in compliance with his orders from the government. Last night Dr. Derbyshire referred to this matter, inasmuch as Dr. Hill had had his little say the previous week. But he had no more than stated that he thought he was in the right in the &C., tion which he had taken than Dr. Hill rose to his feet to contradict him. Both physicians were endeavorirg to get the attention of the council at the same time and were so interested in their own statements that they failed to hear Mayor Baldwins loud raps and calls for silence and order. Neither seemed desirous of allowing the other to have the last word. keeping up their discussion till the mayor rose to his feet and in a laundering tone shouted, "Gentlemen. that will do. We do not intend to listen to your per- sonal quarrels here. Settle them out side. This council intends to stand by it's health officer. for it knows that he is working for the best interest of the community"
 Dr. Derbyshire stated that in his opinion the patient Is not suffering from smallpox. Dr Hill contended that it is a case of smallpox. and the matter will be determined as the case develops.

COUNCIL MAKES WARRANT CALL

Upon the motion of Chairman La Farge, of the finance committee, at last nights council meeting, a warrant call for $6.S20.90 was made. The call includes the warrants from 310S to 313S, inclusive. This leaves over $3.0O0 in the bank. and as there are no heavy expenses that the city must immedi- ately meet. the call was thought safe.
 Since the new council came into office, warrants to the amount of $6,- 1SS.16 have been issued, while $13.- 142.47 in warrants have been taken up.

James Bayne, who recently returned from the Innoko and Kuskokwim re- gions, brings the story of the terrible death of Al. Milburn, who suffered nameless agonies for over a month be- fore breathing his last. MT. Bayne se- cured the diary of the poor man, writ ten during those last days of suffering, longing and death. Taken with the cramps, which developed into paraly- sis, he laid on his bed for over thirty five days, the last two weeks of which time he was unable to light his fire or secure much r.ourishment. Looking and longing for his friend, William Fisher, to come to his rescue, was probably all that kept him alive. even as long as that period.
 To judge from the diary, Fisher was partner farther up the river, whom Milbern had expected to join. It was learned late rthat Fishers failure to go to his partner was due to an attack of the scurvy.
 The diary, as copied by MT. Bayne, is as follows:
 March 1-At cabin. Taken, with cramps.
 March .o--Ntud but sick.
 "Ilarch fS-At capin.
 March 4-Snowing.
 March 5-Mild, and at home.

TOO BUSY
 TO VOTE

The dreams of the sixth common council and number of the citizens of Nome regarding a new city hall re- ceived their last dash of cold water at last nights council meeting. A com. munication was received from former City Attorney Schofeld, rendering to the city the warrant which was drawn for $40O, a part of the sum necessary to buy the Willets lot, without which the present lot would be too small Mrs. Willets demanded $750 for her property the remaining $S50 of that amount being raised by private sub scription by MT. Schofield. But since the plans for building the hall have been abandoned MT. Schofield felt it his duty to return the contributions. He has since found that the title to the lot is not perfect, either.
 A. H. Durham petitioned the coun- cil to replace the present sidewalk in front of his building with a good one. He claims that the original sidewalk had been ruined at the time the water mains were installed. The city had promised to replace that walk, but had never done so up to this time.
 Acting upon the instructions of the city council, City Clerk Lucas last week informed the Sisters of Charity that their taxes were delinquent. Last night a communication was received from ss3e Sisters. asking that their taxes be rebated, as they had not been forced to pay in past years, being charitable institution. Though Coun- cilman Chilberg objected to rebating the taxes of the Sisters, Councilman La Farge's motion to the effect that the hospital and school be declared ex. empt was carried.
 City Health Officer Hill made his weekly report. There has been one birth. two deaths. outdoor relief given to seven people. one contagious dis l. case attended, and five nuisances abat- ed. Dr. Hill stated further that he and Dr. Derbyshire had differed somewhat in the diagnosis of what the former believed to be a smallpox case. Dr..
