seven Japanese coolies were rounded IN
and driven from the Atlin district last

fair the Japanese were driven aboard the

that they had to ship the japanese out of
the country at once. The demands were
complied with, and the Japanese are ex-
pected to reach Skagway from White
Horse. where they were conveyed by steam
ship some time during the night
The Japanese were taken into Atlin dis
trict by the big hydraulic corporations oper-
ating there for the special purpose of pros
ecuting mining work throughout the win
ter. Once before the white miners drove
the Japanese out of the Attn district
About thirty coolies put in appearance
with the opening of the season, but the

of the Postmaster Generals proposition, but
he doubts the expediency of moving the
post office from the central portion OF the
city. Thousands of people, he said. go to
the main office Sunday to get their mall
and these would be put to great fncon-
venience If the office were removed from
the business section.
THE proposition OF Postmaster General
Meyer to remove the post Office to the
vicinity of the new union station will prove
a great benefit. but l think that substa-

Mr.. Joseph d. Dreyfuss of Dreyfuss

moval of the post Office from its present
location would be unwise, as. he stated. 1t
would take considerable trade from the

NEW YORK. September 21-Paul Nor

mistic over the present attitude OF Europe
toward this country. After his arrival on
the liner Deutschland he said: While the
insurance business has not yet recovered
from the shock. II received a year or ago,
confidence is being restored. The great ex-
hibitlon OF financial strength made by the
American companies has removed all I'M
easness. The prospect OF new business Is
much better than 1t was a year ago.
There is every reason to believe that it

will be better for the change from high
pressure methods to conservatism. Just as
canditons in the insurance business will
ultimately be better owing to a return of
conservative methods. SO 1 believe, Will be

termed notoriety.

UNFAILING WEATHER SIGN.
Exodus Of Tramps From New York
Parks an Index

NEW YORK. September 21.-A noticeable
effect of the approach of cold weather Is
the exodus OF tramps. The park benches
are being deserted and the railroads will
soon be obliged to deal with the hobo
problem. The roads running out of New
York have seconded the decision Of the re-
cent conference of railway boards at Mime
apols that the tramp evil Is the most seri-
GUS in railroad operation today. and they
have referred the matter to their re-
spective chiefs of police.
These chiefs will therefore gather in this
city in few days to discuss ways and
means of meeting the situation. The New
York Central has made a beginning of
dealing with the tramp pest by stationtng a
hundred young men of tried strength and
courage on its main line between here and
Albany to keep tramps from boarding
trains and committing depredations The
youths are sworn as special officers and
are empowered to arraign their prisoners
as Migrants.
The Central estimates that 1t loses 500. 600
yearly in freight stolen destroyed by
tramps in its nth avenue yards.
