By a decision of Acting Secretary Ryan, of the interior department, the decision being prepared by Assistant Attorney-General Vanderventer, it lias been settled that any person can take 160 acres of laud, and if the person has heretofore taken any part of the 160 acres, he or Blie is entitled to make up the full amount. Railroad officials in St. Joseph report that there is danger of a our famine on Western roads, caused by the immense grain orops. All roads entering that city are taxed to their fullest capacity now and the switching force lias been -increased 25 per cent. The Burlington company has issued orders that no more coal be loaded in the tight box-cars, stock-cars being UBod instead. Dr. J. M.

A REINDEER EXPRESS. FUNDS FOR MINERS SKAGUAY TRAIL IMPASSABLE floveruiiient May Furnish Connection Between Alaska Points. Washington, Aug. 25. Home inter esting statements relating to the gold region in Alaska and the reindeer ex ieriment there are brought out in the annual statement of United States Com missioner of Educatoin Harris, sub mitted today. Touching on the import ance of extending the introduction of reindeer into that territory, the rejiort says the reindeer stations ought to be able to furnish 500 reindeer trained to the harness at once for use of miners on the Uper Yukon river. "It was my purpose," the commis sioner goes on "to detail three of tho skilled herdsmen and 800 tariued rein deer to the Yukon region the present summer." t If this arrangomment is carried out as intended, an important ex)eriinent will be in progress during the coming year at the gold mines. The plan of the bureau has been to arrange a rein deer express, connecting towns ina line from Behring straits to Kodiak island. Superintendent of Reindeer Stations Kjollmanni last September proved the practicability of this by making a trial trip on this route. Two of his party were able to take the steamer at Kat- mai, sailing to Sitka in March. This ararngemeut once completed, it will lie possible for business companies in San Francisco and other cities to hold com munication with their whaling fleets during the winter, north of the Arctic circle. There have been maintained In Alaska 20 day schools, tinder the supervision of the interior department, with 28 teachers dnd an enrollment of 1,267 pupils. A public school was opened at Circle City in the Yukon mining dis trict, but the department's agent, writ- ng from St. Michaels, says he is afraid he will be forced to discontinue it, be cause of the exodus of the city's popu lation into the region nearer the re cently discovered mines. The influx of miners into the Yukon has caused a demand for reindeer for freighting purposes. In the original plan of the purchase and distribution of reindeer, the purpose was to secure a new food supply for the famishing Eskimos of the Behring sea and the Arctic ocean region, but it is now found that reindeer are as essential to white men as to Eskimos. The wonderful Yukon placer mines are situated 25 to 100 miles from the great stream. Pro visions brought from the south and landed on the banks of the river are, with great difflcutly, transported to the mines on the tributary streams. Last winter mongrel dogs, for trausortation purposes, cost from $100 to f 200 each,' and freight charges from the river to the mountain range from 15 to 20 cents per pound. The trained reindeer make in a day two or three times tho distance covered by dog teams, and have the ad vantage that they can use the abundant moss as food. Scheme by Which Strikers Hope to Raise Money. THEY WILL START IP THE MIXES Hop to Secure tho Co-operation Friendly Operators Bow Between Workers anil Non-Workers. of TRAMPS ARE BLAMED Misplaced Switch DeralU an Excursion Train Near Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 25. An engine at tached to a heavy excursion train on the Chicago & Calumet Terminal rail road was derailed last night near Kiv erdale. The passengers were thrown from from their seats by the jar and one man was probably fatally injured. Seven othors received Blight injuries. After a delay of two hours the engine was raised to the track and the train proceeded. It is very evulont that the accident was caused by a misplaced switch, be lieved to have been the work of tramps. The switch was found broken in two places. The baggage-car was tolcscoited over the cab and coal tender. Murray, one of the injured, was riding in this car, and was caught in the debris. He was dug out unconscious and may die. I lie lorce of the shock was so great that the track was literally torn out of the ground. There were 600 passengers on board, and had the train not been running at a slow rate of speed, a ter rible loss of life would have resulted.- J. II. Trawl shot and mortally wound ed Daniel MaUmey, ex-city marshal of The Dalles. The trouble arose over a horse race that occurred in Klickitat county two months ago. For the second time within a little over two years the Utioa mine, the most famous gold producer on the mother lode, in Angel's Camp, Cal., caught Urn through the carelessness of some of the workmen. No lives were lost, bat the property was considerably damaged. California's Klondike. Carrville, Cal., Ang. 23. William Truax and his partner, an actor named Dillon, have struck what is said to be one of tho richest ledges that have been found in this district. The men only arrived here about noon on Monday, and before sundown Truax, who is a miner recently from Cripple Creek, had found what will probably mean a for tune for Itoth. This latest tind is sit uated on Morrison creek just below the Graves brothers' claim and above the Davis placer mine. The two men were up at daylight yesterday morning, and by noon had stripped enough to show thein a ledge two feet wide of wonder ful richness. Dillon came from Sacra mento, where he was Btopping. . ioll In California. (juiney, Cal., Aug. 25. The re- jiort which came from the vicinity of the Thistle shaft that ."Lucky Antone." an Italian, had made a $10,000 strike a week, is continued bv J. W. Cordoroy, a stagedriver, who also :rings the news that Charles Fish. wno has a gravel claim at the junction of Nelson creek and Feather river, took $11000 from his claim last week. Nel son creek is considered the richest stream in Plumas county and many paying claims are located along its banks and bed. Pittsburg, Aug. 24. Developments in the coal mining situation in Pitts burg district will be watched with un usual interest this week. Both sides were apparently at rest today, but it was devcloMd that at the conference tomorrow there will probably be dis ruption. By many it is believed that M. D. Hatch ford, president of the miners' organization, will not be pres ent. It is claimed he will stick to his assertion that he will not agree toarbi trate unless all the states involved are represented. It is a well-known fact that the operators of other states will not join local operators in a movement for arbitration. If Ratchford is obdu rate, the conference will be useless. This, in brief, is the situation and it is apparent that both sides are making preparations for movements that will be to their benefit. From a reliable source it was learned that if the operators start mines on the lines laid down, other mines will also be started by the miners. It is pro posed to select operators who are not represented at the conference, and who are friendly to the miners. They will be given permission to mine coal at the rate demanded and the coal stored. By this means it is expected to get a fund from the union miners that happen to be working, and with this fund pay ex penses of a light against imported labor. The miners' officials are making ar rangements to have a fund on hand to send foreign labor home just as fast as it arrives. With mines operated under the jurisdiction of the labor leaders, and with friendly operators who desire to make a profit, they hope to have an available and large fund. This plan has been outlined, and will be submit ted to the national officials if the con ference proves a failure. Religious services were held in the several camps today, and all were largely attended. Notwithstanding the religious air pervading the camp, aeon flict between workers and strikers took place in the afternoon, during which three strikers were badly hurt, but none are in a serious condition. Five of the men who are working for the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal Company this afternoon went to W. A. Semon's boarding house, half a mile from Oak Hill tipple, where a number of strikers are quartered, for the purpose of per suading the strikers to go to work. The meeting was a stormy one, and resulted in Antonio Podusky being shot near the heart, the bullet going nearly through his body. Gonronng Pimold was shot in tly eye and Bostiste Dal- meise wag out' with a razor. The in jured men are all strikers. This wag the only disturbance recorded at the camps today. The aggressive w.orkmen escaped before the men in the Oak Hill camp were aware of the fight. The report that Sandy Creek camp will be abandoned is denied by the strikers today, ami they say that the men will he sent there from Plum Creek ami Turtle Creek. In addition to tho general missionary work for the week, the leaders have de cided to direct especial work to the pre- veution of operations at the Sandy Creek mine. The strikers say they will resume their marching tactics in the morning, claiming that under the ruling of Judge Ooff, in the West Vir ginia cases, they are given this right Samuel DeArmitt says tonight that 150 to 175 men will be at work in the Plum Creek mine tomorrow. It is announced that the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal Company will mako eight evictions tomorrow from different company houses. It is not probable there will be any trouble. The sheriff does not say tonight what course he will pursue in the morning should marching begin, but thinks he is ready to meet every emergency. Sympathy for the strikers by the farmers and citizens is not diminishing in the least. Today there were about 700 visitors to the camp from Sandy creek, and many farmers who came brought wagonloads of provisions. Citizens of New Texas sent word that they had plenty of food for the men and wanted them to call on them when needed. Only Twenty Men Have Crowed It In Three Winki, SeBttlo, Wash., Aug. 25. Th steamer Rosalie arrived hero this morn ing i rom uyvn nmi Kkaguay. She re jtorts that there are about 4,000 ioople at bkaguay, and that the trail is still linpassauio. About 900 miners are working upon it, and It is expected that It will be ready in a few weeks. Not over 20 men have crossed over it ii, the last three weeks. At Dyea the minors ara getting across as rapidly as could oe expected Juneau is rapidly filling up with miners from Dyea and bkaguay, who profuse to winter there. Bnatnn Olrla for Alaska. Boston, Ang. 25. Ralph K. Mont morency, of Seattle, is here on a novel !Xedition. He is going to take a ship load of handsome young Boston girls to Alaska about 200 of them, he ex- lects. In an interview he said: My main object is to get a good steam vessel around to the Pacific to do a gonoral transKrtation business be tween mget sound ami Alaskan ports next summer. You can't get a craft of any sort out there for love or money, vt itn 200 young women passengers at 1250 apiece, making 150,000, and lomothing on the freight, I shall make i good profit. ' Would Compel llachelors to Wed New York, Aug. 25. Charlotte Smith, president of the Women's Res cue League, called on the Central LaW Union to explain her new scheme for compiling marriageable bachelors to marry. She was too late to get the floor, but she buttonholed several of the delegates. She said she hail statistics to show that there was an intimate connection between her scheme and the labor ques tion. The great competition of women in the field of labor, she held, was be cause 60 per cent of the men refused to marry. She said she was going to Bos ton to start a campaign against tho Republican and Democratic candidates for mayor there, because both of them are bachelors. She did not believe that a bacholor ought to hold an elective office, because no man could possibly act on questions of public morality un less he was married. She was preparing a pamphlet upon her scheme, and intended to show that if bachelors were comiwlled to marry and the army of unmarried women were to became housewives and mothers, wages would go up. Even if all the bachelors in Greater New York were to marry there would be still 100,000 women without husbands. It is re- lorted from Boston that Mr. Curtis, the Republican candidate for mavor of that city, has already announced his engage ment to a young woman. KAIULANI'S AMBITION. Evidence of Steady Growth and Enterprise. ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST f The Princes Hopes She May Yet Rule Over Hawaii. San Francisco, Aug. 25. Princess Kaiulani, . who has just attained her majority, will return to Hawaii in October after an absence of 10 years sent in England and on the continent. She has hojies of lieing niado queen of the present island republic if annexa tion fails. She is watching for a chance. When it conies she looks for a compromise between the republicans and the royalists in favor of herself. for the chances of her aunt, ex-Queen Liliuokalaui, being restored to power are generally conceded to be slim in any event. The princess will arrive in New York about September 25 from England. She will probably stay for a short time in this city, visiting with ex-Queen Lil iuokalaui, who will then be residing here temiwarily while congress is not in session. Kaiulani'g father will ac company her. Murdered Man'i Avenger. San Francisco, Aug. 25. A sensa tional scene was enacted in Judge Dunn's courtroom at the close of the trial of Eugene Kenny, charged with the murder of Patrick Dolan. The jury found that the defendant was insane at the time of the commission of the crime. and the court was just about to order him remanded for examination by the lunacy commissioners, when Michael Dolan, a brother of the deceased. sprang at the murderer, and, grasping him by the throat with one hand, beat him on the head and face with his right until the bailiff and other officers in- terfored and took him into custody.

A miner arrived in Marshfield a few days ago from the Salmon Mountain mines with about five ounoes of gold. He had with him one nugget worth about f 38. He found the gold on John son oreek. The Klamath River Lumber Com pany'a mill at Pokegama started up in full blast last week, and will be kept n operation right along, a big drive of 000,000 feet of logs having arrived, About 25 men are employed. Engineer J. G. Holcoinbe is making preparations to survey the Tillamook and Nehalem bars. Alfred Williams and Fred Arthur have engaged to assist n making the sounding. It is done with a view of preparing an estimate for the improvement of the bars. Elk and deer hunters on the Lower Nehalem and Salmonberry rivers report game very scarce this year. Two and three years ago elk were so plentiful that they could be easily tracked, but this season they are so scarce that tracks are not to be found, only rarely. There are nine combined harvesters operating in Sherman and Gilliam counties. Bv this method of harvest ing, farmers near the railroad are en abled to start their machinery and teams going in the morning and by noon have their wheat in the ware houses. Progrefla in laying the rails on the Astoria & Columbia River railroad has been delayed by bridge construction at John Days. A temporary bridge will be completed this week, and tracklay ing beyond that point will then go ahead. Work on the grade is progress ing rapidly.

The total salmon pack of the Colum bia river is 474,500 cases, according to reliable statements from all packers. The Fishermen's Union cannery heads the list, with 52,000 cases, Fully 80 per cent of the pack is royal chinook, and the general quality is excellent. Most of the steel heads and bluebacks were utilized for cold storage. CHASING A FILIBUSTER. I'rolialile Cause of the Firing Off tee Florida C'oait. St. Auugstino, Flu., Aug. 24. Last night heavy firing at sea by rapid-tire guns and the rays of a searchlight brought out the jieoplo of this oily. The whole affair was carefully noted bV the officers of the First artillery from their quartors in St. Francis barracks, who are positive that the vessel fired not less than 40 shots, first rapidly and then at intervals, ceasing as if the ob ject of the chase was caught. Then the ' rapid firing would be resumed. The ship, probably a war vessel, could not come nearer tan about five mi lee off diore, and was evidently chasing a lightdraught boat, as the flashes came from the starboard gun. The coast is indented by a sand strip reaching out to about one mile off this bar, and it forms the cone of Anastasia lighthouse, straight down the coasts for 14 miles to Matanzas inlet. The St. AugtiBtino bar had but seven feet of water on it at the stage of the tide when the firing commence!, which would have prevented the coming qver of the Three Friends or Dauntless, were those the vessels chased. There was only four feet of water on Matanzas inlet, and unless a vessel could makj this harbor she would either have to put to sea or surrender. For this reason indications point to the fleeing boat taking an easterly course. When the firing commenced a squall was on am) the night was very dark. LICENSE REVOKED. Finding of the Board of Inquiry on th Wrecking of the Mexico. Seattle, Aug. 24. The board of in quiry on the wrecking of the steamship Mexico in Dixon entrance Augusts has revoked the pilot's papers of Captain Thomas, master of the steamer.

It was held that he should have been on deck, especially as lie placed his vessel In a dangerous po sition. Further, it was found that the rook on which the steamer struck was West Devil's Neck, and was there fore known to the navigating officer of the Mexico, and he should have taken care to keep his vesssel out of the way. Captain Thomas' pilot papers in Al askan waters are revoked entirely, and his master's papers are suspended for 80 days. Captain Thomas has been in the employ of the Pacific Coast Steam ship Company as master for more than a year past. He came here from San Francisco, which is his home.
