 Captain Bartlett was aboard the revenue cutter Bear when the rescue was made, having left his party on Wrangell Island on February IS and made his way to Emma harbor. on the Siberian coast, where he was picked up by the steam whaler Her man, commanded by Captain Peter son, and was brought to St. Michael.

Seven Steamers Leave Liverpool and Have 10000 Returning Americans

LIVERPOOL, Sept. 14.-Seven more transatlantic steamers left here today for America. Three of the boats are bound for Canada and four cleared for New York and had 10000 American passengers. who were in Europe at the outbreak of hostilities and were unable to return because of lack of transportation.
 The Americans were forced to take steerage passage from here to New York; some because they have no money and others because the ac- commodations on the boats are limit ed and many who have always travel ed de luxe are now glad to get across even in the steerage.
 The passage rate has been more than doubled and the tourists who came to Europe on Cook touring tick cts are stranded and the American consuls are advancing them enough money to pay their passage and are accepting in return the unused tick cts and a promise of pay from the Americans.
