REE TRIP HOME
Army Transport Will Be Sent
to Bring Back Nomeites.
ONE THOUSAND ARE DESTITUTE
Th Government Win Also Ai the
Suffering: Indians is the Cape
Xome District
"WtAKHlNGTOON, Asig. 8L The reguhw
Friday Cabinet meeting was held today.
The Chinese situation was, of course, the
all-Important question, but as the "United
States lias sot announced Its polley to
tho powers, no farther step Is possible
-until the replies are received. The ques
"tloa, thererore, did not -actually receive
much consideration at the meeting to
day. Other subjects considered were tfa con
dition of several hundred or thousand
destitute miners at Cape Nome, and of
a large number of Indian tribes in Alas
ka. It was decided that the War Itepart
trient should send a transport to Cape
Nome to "bring back such of the miners
as are penniless and liable to endanger
the public welfare there this Winter, by
reason of their destitute condition. It lfc
believed that a large proportion of those
who flocked to Nome early in the Spring,
hoping to -strike it rich" are stranded.
Provisions and clothing will be sent to
the Indians, who are said to be desti
tute. The transportation companies, It
is claimed, refuse to aid the unfoi ,ri.
ates at Cape Nome. Winter will come
by the end of September, and the trans
port, in order to effect relief, must go
at once. General Handall estimates that
there are 1000 persons in Nome in danger
of starvation.
Information received from several om
clal and unofficial sources shows that the
Alaska Indians along the coast from
Cape Nome are in a serious condition.
The miners, It is rumored, have gathered
for their own use nearly all of the drift
wood which the Indians have been accus
tomed to depend npon for their Winter
fuel, and in some instances the cabins
of the Indians have been torn down by
the miners and the wood used by them,
regardless of the suffering Indians. In
addition to these afflictions it is said that
the grip, in a most virulent form, has
broken out among the Indians and that
altogether their case is one which calls
for immediate succor. The Government
has taken hold of the matter, and no
doubt provisions, clothing and medical
attention through the Marine Hospital
Service will be forthcoming.
The other matter discussed at the
meeting was that of better roads in the
Philippines. The internal commerce of
the islands, it was said, imperatively de
mands better means of communication
through Luzon particularly. The Gov
ernment has received a request for per
mission to extend the one railroad In
Luzon to a point about 0 miles to the
north. This request will be granted, if
possible, as it would greatly aid In get
ting the products of points north to Ma
nila. f Crenshaw Made Ko Complaint.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3L Adjutant

came from a passenger on the same
transport that brought my son from Ma

cerning the statement of this passenger.
The statements of ill-treatment attributed
to my son were made by another to a
newspaper reporter after my son's lips
were closed by the icy hand of death.

Star Route Mall Contracts.
WASHINGTON, Aug. SL The office of
the Second Assistant Postmaster-General
is preparing the second annual advertise
ment, which will be given out September
15 next for the carriage of mails on star
routes. This advertisement will be of
unusual importance, as It is designed to
check alleged combinations of star route
bidders and for the first time will require
as a guarantee of satisfactory perform
ance of service that every accepted bid
der, whatever may be his residence at the
time of bidding, must agree to live on or
contiguous to the route and personally
superintend the performance of service.
This general letting will occur in the
New England States, New York, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia and West Virginia, It re
cently had come to the notice of the de
partment that certain speculative bidders
"will seek to secure a number of routes
"by Inducing some local attorney or other
person In each of the counties to allow
the use of "his name as a bidder fox a
consideration. The law, however, pro
hibits any sub-letting- of contracts with
out the consent of the Postmaster-General.
Otis Wants Active Duty.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31,-MaJor-Ger.eral
Otis has arrived in Washington and called
upon Secretary Boot and Adjutant-General
Corbln at the War Department and
preferred a formal Tequest for assign
ment to active duty. This request is now
under consideration. He has been on wait
ing orders at his home In Rochester, or
near "by, ever since his return from the
Philippines in the early Summer. The
retirement next Monday of Major-General
Wheeler, as commanding officer of the
Department of the Lakes, with headquar
ters at Chicago, is the first available
opening for an officer of General Otis'
rank and it is probable that he will be
assigned to this post. ,
Torpedo-Bont Drill.
NEWPORT. R, L, Aug. SL The experi
ments In torpedo-boat drill tonight were
of special interest to naval men In the fact
that the submarine boat Holland was
"used. She was unable to catch the crew
of the United States tug Leyden napping,
and so the attempts to get alongside the
latter were unsuccessful. The Holland
and the Leyden went down to the harbor
for practice. They Leyden doused all her

her, but the commander of the Leyden
caught her each time. "The diving trials

NEW YORK CENTRAL PLANS
Millies Are to Be Sneat la Im
provements. NEW YORK, Aug.. 31. The Tribune to
day prints the following:
The construction of & fleet oi
large, ocean steamers for carrying
both freight and passengers by
the New Xorfc Central Railroad has
been under discussion. -of late. This Im
provement has been projected in connec
tion frith the improvement X the ter
minal at Weehawken, and the expend!,
ture of between $3,W0,000 and $4,000,000 in
enlarging the yards there, pulldlng .new
piers and tracks, and a general Increase
of freight capacity
Some time ago the New York Central
Increased Its capital stock by $15,000,000,
and this money was Bpent In buying new
rolling stock. It has Just been stated by
a prominent railroad official- that even
this enormous expenditure lor equipment
had been Insufficient, and that another
$1,000,000 would now have- to be added to
it for engines. The road has not enough
cars and engines to handle the enormous
traffio offered.
The decision to expend between $3,000,000
and $4,000,000 on the Weehawken terminal
Is only one item of the extraordinary ex
penditures. Other millions have been
spent in bridges, structural steel,- Im
proved grades and tracks and stations.
It is this Increase In traffic capacity and
the decision to reconstruct the Weehawk
en terminal that has suggested the build
ing of a line of steamers for Inter-oceanic
freight and passenger traffic. The in
creasing demand f or American coal in
European markets, It Is believed, may
have some bearing on the project. The
Weehawken terminal now has a largo
coal yard belonging to the -New York, On
tario & Western, and In the work of re
construction the capacity of the yard will
be Increased and facilities for coal export
provided. '
However, owing to the absence from' the
city of nearly all of the directors or the
New York Central", there has been no
board meeting for some time, and the
matter will probably not come before tho
board this Fall.
OK THE AMERICAN PLAN.
England Takes Steps to. Protect Her
Railway Emplbyes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3L Information
has been received by the Interstate Com
merce Commission that on July 30 'of the
present year the British act for the bet
ter prevention of accidents on railways,
received the assent of the Queen and be
came a law.
The Board of Trade, one of the depart
ments of the government, is Invested with
extensive power, and Is charged with the
carrying out of the provision of the
safety appliance law. More authority is
given the Board of Trade in this respect
than the United States statute gives the
Interstate Commerce Commission, .and In
many respects the English law is consid
ered much more drastic than ours.
If, after a reasonable time, the railway
companies of Great Britain fall to obviate
the dangers by use of safety appliances,
the board will order the use of such
plants or appliances as it may consider
best calculated to reduce the danger of
persons employed or the disuse of any
.plant or appliances shown to involve dan
ger. Penalties are provided for non-compliance
with any rules prescribed by the
board. -
The ratio of lives lost to the number of
men employed in coupling and uncoupling
cars In England is not less than one to
300. This percentage, as Is shown by the
reports of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, is as great as existed In this
country In 1S93, where at present the ratio
has been reduced to one man killed out
of GOO engaged in coupling and uncoupling
cars.
It Is believed that the action of the
United States Government In the matter
of safety appliances has been largely In
strumental In bringing about the enact
ment of tge British law. ,

Sons of Veterans' University.
CHICAGO, Aug. 31. With assets and
pledges amounting to upward of $500,000,
the Sons of Veterans are making active
preparations to begin work on a National
College which Is to be dedicated to the
Grand Army of the Republic and In com
memoration of the men and women of
the Civil War. The collections .and
pledges were secured after one year's ac
tual work, but four years of planning
preceded the vigorous campaign resulting
in the collection.
While the money has been raised for the
erection of the buildings and the endow
ment of the institution, the location nas
not been selected. William T. Church, a
member of the committee, said that the
movement had outstripped the Intention
of the founders to such an extent that the
college Idea was to be abandoned and a
university founded instead.
"The university will be unique among
educational institutions," said Mr. Church.
"In addition to the regular scientific and
classical courses we have a chair es
pecially for the teaching of American his
tory, another for patriotic courses, and
a third for military Instruction."

FIRE INSURANCE AGENTS,
General Complaint of Conditions
Throughout the Country.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 31. "Millions for
comfort, but not a cent for style," said
President Woodworth, as he called to
order the convention of the National As
sociation of Local Fire Insurance Agents
today, taking off his coat, and conducting
the meeting attired in a shirt waist.
The first speaker was Henry H. Put
nam, of Boston. Discussing the present
situation In fire Insurance, he said:
"The business today is in a state of
turmoil and distress which we are told
by veteran underwriters Is unprecedented
since the Chicago and Boston fires. Tar
iffs are far too low to provide for a nor
mal rate of burning; expenses are higher
than ever before; agents are multiply
ing; industrial changes are threatening
the interests of both companies and
agents; brokerages and overhead writing
are undermining the business of agents,
while legislation promises a revolution In
the rate making methods which have been
pursued by the companies for three quar
ters' of a century."
At this afternoon's session, George P.
Sheldon, of the National Underwriters'
Association, delivered an address. The
call of states was then continued and
conditions In fire Insurance circles from
all over the country "were recited. Chair

Knows How to Handle Them.
S Kansas City Journal.
The doorkeeper of Senator Hanna's room
at Republican National headquarters has
.discovered a novel way of disposing of
unwelcome visitors, relates a correspond
ent. The officer has been guarding the
.doors'at political headquarters for a long
time,, and is able to discriminate between
those who should be let in and those who
should be kept out Not long ago one of
the latter class arrived and asked to see
tho Senator. "Busy now," said the door
keeper. Take a seat In -the ante-room,
please." Presently another visitor arrived.
He was a poet who had campaign verses
to sell. The doorkeeper "sized him up"
at once and took him to the door of the
ante-room. "See that gentleman sitting
there?" he said, pointing to' the first un
welcome visitor; "well, Just sit down and
say your poetry to him." In about five
minutes the first visitor left the bund
ing. When the1 poet again asked for Mr.
Hanna he was told that he had gone for
the day. v
AGAINST W60L TARIFF.
A. Correspondent Objects to Paylngr
Tribute to "Woolgrrower.
TURNER, Or,, Aug. 28. (To the Editor,)
In The Oregonlan of a recent issue I note
an article, "Sheepgrower Would Sell Out
If He Knew Bryan Would Win.'' I wish
to remark that that sheepgrower's head
Is level. If "Bryan wins" and there be a
"Bryan" Congress, the tax that persons
who wear wool but don't grow sheep now
pay unjustly out of their pockets And into
the pocket of Mr. Sheepgrower, will cease,
and the price of sheep vlll fall. The
"wool Tvearers will be the gainers by so
much, and Mr. Sheepgrower will lose It.
Mr. Sheepgrower's views on that point
are sound. He will no longer bn able to
gobble others people's earnings unjustly,
at least hi thati.way.
But Mr. Sheepgrower wants more. He
is the "Oliver Twist" of his llne. Ho
wants the state to "protect" his sheep
from the coyotes.
Mr. Sheepgrower Is modest. He doesn't
want the whole earth; only a, good deal
more than his share of If. He doesn't
ask the estate to pay for herding or dip
ping or shearing his sheep. But that
may come later. "Expansion" comes by
degrees.
But It appears that Mr. Sheepgrower
lBn't much of a naturalist. He doesn't
appear to reflect that ilf the coyotes--whlch
live mostly on rabbits are killed
off, the rabbits will increase in propor
tion, and eat up the food from his sheep,
and, very likely, do him more damage
than the coyotes, and be a whole lot
harder to keep rid of. This is a case
wherein Mr. "S. G." doesn't want "pro
tection." When it comes to his paying
the "tariff" levied by the coyote for pro
tecting his sheep from "Br'er Rabbit" he
"howls calamity."
Also Mr. Sheepgrower doesn't appear
to be very observing. He can see a gain
for himself wnere other people are taxed
for it, but that is nearly all; and he
arrogates to himself, as a right, that Gov
ernment shall take other people's money
and give It to him.
Of course, he is a "McKinley man." No
doubt he Is down on the Socialists and a
repudlator of socialism. Yet h clamors
for socialistic laws that shall put money
in nis pocket and out of the pockets of
others.
He wants a tariff on wool; that Is
socialistic In his favor, arid against that
of others. "Robbery under forms of law."
So said a United States Chief Justice a
number of years ago, and it hasn't got
to be anything else yet. The Govern
ment furnishes most of the land to run
his sheep on. That is socialistic. He
wants the state to "do for him that which
he cannot so well do for himself," i. e.,
keep off ,the coyotes. Socialism again.
No doubt, after the coyotes are destroyed,
he will want the state to kill off the
rabbits, too.
And "the woods are full" of just such
citizens. A lot of selfish and unpatriotic
chaps who care not one whit for the
good of their country, or to do Justice
by their fellow-men; only for what they
can gobble of others' earnings, and put
into their Qwn greedy pockets. ,
They want to be enriched off others'
labor by legislation, rather than honest
Industry of their own. Of 'course, such
men will "support McKlnley." They are
sheep and -wool patriots But it may be
a safe move to sell their sheep, all the
same. f. S. MATTESON.
A Watchful Manager.
New York Tribune.
Several years ago the late Payson Tuck
er, the railroad man. was on the moun
tain division of the Maine Central Rail
road, and looked over the grounds of one
of the stations. Nothing more than the
usual conversation passed, and he re
turned to his car and went back to Port
land. Nearly a year passed before he
had occasion to call at the station again,
and then he stepped off the car and asked
pleasantly:
"Do you have all the help you want
here?"
"Yes, sir; all that we need."
"Quite sure you have enough?"
"Yes, sir; there is not much to be done
at so small a station."
"Well, I feared you were rushed 'and
could not find time to remove that pile
of .old bricks I saw the last time I was
here." With that the general manager
of the road stooped over the pile of bricks
and, without removing his kid gloves,
continued the work until tho last one
was neatly piled up.

LAST UNDER HORTON LAW
DAL HAWKINS, KNOCKED OUT BY
JOB GANS IN NEW YORK.
Fight, Wales Was Sckedalea for 25
Bounds, Came to aa End
In the-Third.
NEW YORK, Aug. SL At the Broad
way Athletic Club tonight the last series
of bouts unden the Horton law was
brought to a conclusion by Joe Gans, of
Baltimore, knooking out Dal Hawkins, of
California, in the third round in a con
test that was scheduled to go 25 rounds,
at 183 pounds.
Both men were at the required weight,
and each looked to be in good condition
when they entered the ring. Both fought
carefully In the opening round. Hawkins
tried repeatedly for the head, but Gans'
blocking -was perfect, and not many
punches were landed other than a few
Bwlngs to the storaafch -of Hawkins.
In the second, the men warmed to their
work, and each scored heavily on the
head. Both missed repeatedly In their
anxiety to land, but the round ended In
Hawkins favor, because of his superior
work to the body, which seemed to worry
Gans.
i They started the third with a rush, and
Dal reached Joe's head with a sharp left
to the jaw, but Gans repaid him a mo
ment later with a hard right pn the Jaw.
Gans then cornered Dal, and both Btarted
to slug with both hands. For fully a
minute they never moved from the spot
where they started, and bo vicious was
the fighting 'that the crowd was on Its
feet In a perfect frenzy of excitement.
Hawkins' blows seemed to carry the
more steam, and it looked aB if the col
ored boxer would go down. He steadied
himself, however, and with a sharp right
hook to the Jaw stretched Dal on the
floor. There was no need for a count, as
Dal was so far gone that he did not re
cover for several minutes after being car
ried to his corner. Gans hlmBelf could
hardly stand and looked to be ready to
drop when he landed the lucky blow.
Champion Jeffries' Terms.
RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 81. James J.
Jeffries, the pugilist, In an Interview here
today said:
"I will fight Corbett If he is anxious to
have a match, but it will have to be a
case of the wlnneT getting everything and
the loser only the beating. That is the
only way to do business. Fltzslmmons
can get a fight from me whenever he
wants It when he goes about it properly
and gives time to the man he wants to
fight. I will fight nobody without time
to train In. Let him give me 30 days
and we can find plenty of places. The
fight could go on at Carson City or at
California or even at Cincinnati." -

NOT THE "NORTH END."
"OaXinEf Tlilne ly tie Rlglxt Ifane,
, Says a Correspondent.
PORTLAND, AuffTlb.-(To the Editor.)
Will you please allow me space In your
paper to call the attention of correspond
ents and writers In The Oregonlan. to
the glaring misnomer of the "North
End," constantly applied to a district of
tho City of Portland about as near the
center, north and south, as it Is possible
to get? A recent article speaks of Davis
street is being In tho "North End dis
trict." Now, Davis street is only three
blocks from the south line of the Couch
and Flanders claim, and It Is still 15
blocks north from that street to the
southern boundary of the first ward of
the city, all of which is still, to the north
of Savier street, extending 1 miles fur
ther before you come to the northern end
of the city.
What Imaginable, common-sense reason,
then, can there be for calling' the neigh
borhood of Davis, Flanders and Glisan
streets "the North End," when it is not
within two miles of the northern limits
of the city7 The first ward, strictly the
"north end of the city," is an entirely
different place from the neighborhood
of Davis and Glisan streets, and the
dwellers therein very much object to hav
ing a title properly descriptive of their
district only constantly applied to so vile
and disreputable a neighborhood as the
one In question. The inhabitants of the
first ward really the "north end of the
city" are mostly working people. In Its
several mills and factories, an honest, In
dustrious, respectable class of people, as
different as can be Imagined from the
class of people In what some have called
the ,:Whltechapel district of Portland.
The whole first ward has but two or
three saloons, and not one place within
it's whole extent, I am told by police
authority, that can with the least truth
be called a brothel or anything like one.
Will you not, therefore, ask your corre
spondents and reporters to cease applying
the name of a respectable district of our
city to the lowest and vilest quarters
within Its whole limits?
NOT A NORTH-ENDER.'
PASSING OF THE NEGRO.
"Will Not Have Representation In
Congress for Some Time.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. The close of
the Fifty-sixth Congress will see the last
of a negro In Congress, at least for some
time. In, times past there have been
more or less of these people occupying
Beats from the South, but for the last
two Congresses, there has been but one
representative of the negro race, George
Henry White, of North Carolina. Mr.
White is far asove the average negro,
Is highly educated, a man of refinement,
and one who, while asserting his rights,
does not force himself unnecessarily. A3
a representative, he has been far more
successful than many a white member
oil tha 5owr branch of Congress. But
the events in North Carolina In late
years have been, such as to literally drive
him from the state. He has concluded t&
withdraw from politics and will take
up the practice of law In some Northern
state.
When Interviewed in this regard, Mr.
White said he could no longer live In
North Carolina and be a man and be
treated as a man. He realizes that there
Is a strong sentiment against him, and
feels that under existing circumstances,
he could not secure the certificate ol
election, even If elected. Not having the
means to carry on a political fight, he
has concluded to withdraw. He Is free
to confess his belief that It will be some
time before another colored man occupies
a seat in Congress, although he regrets
that a people making up one-eighth of the
country's population should not be repre
sented In Congress. Referring to the
Constitutional amendment of the state,
Mr. White said that in the next ten
years, North Carolina would lose 50,000
of its colored Inhabitants, and eventually
half of them. Personally, he hopes to
see the negroes migrate to the North
and the "West; not to colonize In any one
section, which would but bring on a repe
tition of the conditions in North Carolina,
but that they should scatter all over
the country. Such a plan as this, he
says, will benefit both those who emi
grate, and those who remain. &
Why Bryan Holds His Faith.
San Francisco Wave.
Two ministers, a Baptist and a Metho
dist, met at the Kansas City convention
and fell to joking. Said, the Baptist
preacher to the Methodist: "I suppose
you know that Bryan has turned Bap
tist?" "No," gasped the Methodist
preacher, "that can't be." 'Neverthe
less, that's true," said the Baptist. "Oh,
no," said the Methodist preacher, recov
ering himself, "no, that can't be true.
Why. to be a Baptist, you have got to
be totally Immersed, haven't you?" "Cer
tainly," said the Baptist. "Well, then,
it can't be true," said the Methodist;
"do you suppose that Mr. Bryan would
consent to disappear from the popular
view so long as that?"

PRESIDENT OF A BIG EASTERN
ROAD MAX BE CHOSEN.
The Speyera Said to Have Selected
the Man It May Be tnsaila, of
ih.o Blsr Four,
NEW YORK, Aug. SL A dispatch to
the Herald from London says:
Collls P. Huntington's successor
as president of the Southern Pa
cific Railway will not be any
man now identified, with the manage
ment of the Southern Pacific. Now that
the great railroad builder is dead, tho In
terests which for several years controlled
the majority of the stock of the Southern
Pacific propose to taia a. more active
part In the operations of the system. The
first step to be taken Is the Injection of
new blood Into the management. Thia
news comes from an authoritative source.
Charles H. Tweed, who was the confi
dential adviser of Mr. Huntington, and
who now holds the position of second
vice-president. Is mentioned in New York
as the probable successor to Mr. Hunting
ton. Mr. -Tweed, it is stated, will noi
be made pzesidenfrof tho Southern. Pacific.
While hi3 worth is appreciated by the
controlling interests it is felt that the
road will be greatly benefited by the In
fusion of new methods. Mr. Tweed wll
have, however, a prominent place in the
management.
The presidency of the Southern Pacific
will be offered within, a day or two to ono
of the ablest railroad men in America, a
man who is now the president of one of
the greatest roods in tbe East. Although
he has a very comfortable berth where no
is. It is believed be will be glad to round
off bis railroad career by taking the mora
important post loft vacant by the death
of Collls P. Huntington.
When Mr. Huntington was pinched in
the panic of 18G3, he waa-forced to let go
a large part of his securities to raise
ready money. Messrs. Speyers advanced
him large sums. The Southern Pacific
stock which they than obtained, together
with their recent prrrtbases; gave these
bankers a controlling interest in the road.
While Mr. Huntington, was alive Messrs
Speyers were content to have him keep
the presidency, although they berleved a
change in tbe management of the South
ern Pacific was advisable.
While James Speyer was In Europe,
news came of Mr. Huntington's death.
The question of naming his successor wai
at once discussed. Mr- Speyer and hi3
brother Edgar, after considering tho qual
ifications of several railway men. none
of them now with the Southern Pacific,
hit upon an Eastern man-
It May Be Ineall.
NEW YORK, Aug. 31. The Mail and
Express contains the "following today r
It was said. In Wall street today that
the presidency of the Southern. Pacific
Railroad would be offered to President
JM. E. Ingalls, of the Big Four road,
who is a Vanderbllt ally. The selection
of Mr. Ingalls would be another move In
line with the alleged Vanderbllt plan to
weave all the rallroade of America into
one vast system, under a single head.
The interests that are bringing the
name of Mr. Ingalls to the front control
a majority of the stock and could have
dethroned C- P. Huntington at any time
within the last few years, but they be
lieved .he had earned the position he
held, and declined to humiliate him.
A reporter of the Associated Press
questioned C H. Tweed, who Is Mr.
Huntington's confidential adviser, as to
the various stories concerning the South
ern Pacific's presidency.
"The directors will not meet until next
week," said Mr. Tweed, "and while sev
eral names have been informally men
tioned, I think T am safe in saying no
one has been decided xrp'on definitely."
