Falling Ash and Navy Collier Is in the Zone.

Cordova, Alaska, Oct. 2S-A wire. less message from the mail steamer Dora that she is anchored off Whale Island, unable to proceed because of darkness and falling volcano ash in- dicates that Katmai volcano is in eruption again. Debris from this vol cano made desert of the Alaska pe- and caused a considerable loss of life.
 The Dora left Seward on her month iy trip to the Aleutian Islands last Monday and ran into a pail of smoke at Whale Island, situated between Afognak Island and Kodiak Island, both of which are covered by thick layer of ash from the previous erup- tion. The navy collier Nero is at Kodiak erecting a wireless station to replace the one destroyed by the June eruption of Mount Katmai. and efforts are being made to communi cate with her by wireless to ascertain conditions there.
 The revenue cutter Manning was at Kodiak during the eruption last sum. mer and afforded protection to per sons driven from their homes. The presence of the Nero at this time is reassuring, as the big collier can care for the populace if assistance is nee. essary.
 No reports have been received from other points concerning the new out. break of Katmai.
 A few days ago the steamship Vic. toria, bound from Seattle to Nome, reported by wireless that she passed through a large quantity of floating pumice stone in the vicinity of Uni. mak Pass. At the time it was believed the fiotsam came from Mount Shishal din on Unimak Island, but now 1t Is thought that it came from Katmai. However, old Shishaldin, which ire. quently has been in eruption, may be spouting again.

BECKER GOES ID SING SING
WILL BE IMPRISONED UNTIL AC.
 TON ON APPEAL.
Decision Not Expected for Year but Effort Will Be Made to
 Expedite Case.

New York, Oct. 2S.-Charles Beck, CT, automatically dropped from the police rolls by his conviction for mur der and no longer lieutenant in that department, will pay one visit to DO. lice headquarters before he goes to Sing Sing prison to await action of the court of appeals. He will be taken from the Tombs to the bureau of identification to be photographed and measured for the rogues gallery.
 The legal work necessary to get Becker's case before the court of ap- peals will begin immediately after the sentence is pronounced by Justice Golf, on next Wednesday. Notice of appeal will be filed forthwith and this will operate as a stay of execution. This case is not likely to be set for argument for several months and de cision on the appeal is not expected for year or more, although the ac. tiCn will be expedited by Whitman in every way possible
 Costs of Appeal on State.
 In event of a reversal of verdict, Becker would be remanded to the Tombs again without bail to await new trial. Because the trial just end ed was in a special term of court, or dered by Gov. Dix, all of the records on appeal will go to the governor and all the costs of appeal will be paid by the state.
 This follows the precedent set in the Molineux case, in which Justice Golf was reversed by the court of ap- peals, after a delay of two years. Molineux was acquitted on his second trial.
 Ten Days for Consultation.
 Although Becker will be sentenced Wednesday, Oct. 30, he will not go to Sing Sing until about Nov. g. ten days generally being allowed for consuta- tion with counsel.
 Eleven points on which the appeal will be based are outlined in a state ment prepared by Becker's chief coun- sell More than 4,000 exceptions were taken during the trial to rulings made by Justice Golf.
