Admiral CherartM Performs a Gallant Kmn. New York, July 36. An accident on board the battle-ship Texas while lying t the Cobb dock in the navy yard came very nearly resulting fatal W ti tm eit the crew and also led to another aot of bravery on the part of Ensign W. R. Gherardi, son of Rear Admiral Ban croft Gherardi. The second whaleboat of the Texas was cast away shortly before 8 o'clock. Two men were in the boat, which was hoisted to the davits on the port side at th time. John Avapian, a landsman, and a sailor named S peers were getting ready to lower the boat, when the former, it is said, accidentally struck the detaching lever, releasing the boat, which fell about 20 feet to the water. The two men fell overboard and the boat filled with water. The shock was so treat that the and unable to keep afloat The cry of "man overboard" was raised on the ship. Ensign Gherardi rushed on deck, and, throwing off his coat, plunged over the ship's side. Three seamen followed him. Avapian, who sank almost in stantly, was just down for a second when the gallant ensign rescued him. Speers was rescued by the other men. Avapian and Speers soon recovered from the shock. The gallant rescue, which was wit nessed bv officers and in the vicinity, elicited hearty cheers and praise for the rescuers. Ensign Gherardi, who is an exceedingly modest young officer, came in for a special share of commendation. When attached to the Maine last February, in a storm off the Carolina coast, Ensign Gherardi saved the life of a drowning sailor under the most perilous circumstances. Death and Disaster Followed 1b Its Wake. ALASKAN TOWNS DESERTED. Clondyke Kush la Fast Depopulating the Coast Settlements. San Francisco, July 26. Among the arrivals from Alaska on the Bteamer Bertha was Dr. C. F. Dickinson, of Kodiak island, which lies just at the head of Cook inlet He says the gold excitement all over the territory of Al aska is something unprecedented, and that people are flocking to the Clon dyke in a way that threatens to depop ulate many of the trading posts and coast towns. "When I left Kodiak, two weeks ago," said Dr. Dickinson, "the people were leaving all that section and flock ing in the direction of the Clondyke. In a way. the situation issnnallino fa many of the industries are left prac tically without the means of operation. Mines that are paying handsomely at Cook inlet have been deserted. "In my opinion there are just as good placer diggings to be found at Cook inlet as in the Clondyke region. There is not a foot of ground in all that country that does not contain gold in more or less appreciable quantities. The great trouble has been that people nave noi nan eitner the oourage or op portunity, I do not know which, to thoroughly prospect the country. I think that in another month the coun try will be practically deserted. There is room about Cook inlet for thousands of men, and there is certainly no better place in the world for a poor man.

Legitimate laws nf aunnlv nrl ,1a. mand may at times be counterbalanced bv speculation, but thev be ignored with impunity. The ad vance in wneat values during the week has been Ions overdue. Xmninullv it has been caused by reported damages to the Russian wheat crop. In reality it is due to depleted reserves and small crops. A conservative statement of supplies at home and abroad is as fol lows: Importing countries require 100,000.000 bushels more than last year. The only countries with exporta ble surplus are America ami K The latter, according to latest reports, uu nave less than usual for export. America must therefore reap the benefit of the increased export demand. For tunately, we have excellunt crop pros pects, promising at present the second largest wheat crop ever produced in this country. In this connection it must be borne in mind that our reserves are practically exhausted, and if they are to be replenished from the coming crop our exportable surplus will not exceed that of last year by over 20,000, 000 oushels. Importers are wak-incr no to the situation, and they have been large ana persistent buyers of wheat in our markets during the week. . The re sulting advanoe, while large and rapid, is more than fully warranted, and the tendency of the market is tn ndvmmn still further. Exports for the week were somewhat higher than the previous one, wheat and flour equalling 1,978,000 bushels, while the world's shipments were re ported at about 4.000.000 hushes. On ocean passaee decreased fisn.nnn hush. els, and our visible supply showed an increase of 708.000 bushels. nnrl km totals 16,032,000 bushels, against 47,-. i i4,uuu busnels a year ago this time. There were alarming reports of dam age to the Russians' greatest food and cereal, the rye crop. An encouraging feature is the exceedingly light re ceipts of new wheat, the movement thus far beina verv limited ami not amounting to more than one-third of mac oi a year ago. Tins indicates that there is a verv heavv interior ilBmnn,l for new wheat, or else that the new orop is being heldback in antininntimi of higher prices. Cables have advanced daily and are very strong, bringing buying orders for both English and Freuch accounts, mostly future delivery. Electric Beating.

Told by a Former Telegraph Operator t Red Dirt.
