THE NOME SITUATION was No Excuse for a Small pox Scare. WILD GOOSE RAILWAY FINISHED Ulnlng Greatly Retarded Owing to thr Scarcity of Water-Many Hea Broke and Discouraged. Seattle, August 8. "Nome right for the practical miner, contains about 10,000 people is all but at this time wno nave no business there," says Charles JJ. Lane, the California mil Uonaire mining man. "Nome," Mr, Lane resumed, "is all I believed it be and perhaps more. There is , plenty oi gold there and the camp will demon strate the truthfulness of my assertion I came away on business and expect tn return just as soon as possible. So many inexperienced people being the district is bound to result in disas. trous consequences. Many of them are broke and discouraged. They cannot get away." "Do you think the government will provide them transportation back the states?" to 'If the government wants to do the right thing it certainly will." . "How is the smallpox situation?" ' "It is not at all serious. Seattle could have as many cases and nothing would be thought of it. I There fare few oases of smallpox at Nome, but they are of the very mildest form There has been but one death from the disease, and of the total number who have had the smallpox there is not pitted man in the lot. There was no sense in such a scare." Mr. Lane spoke of his own operations in the camp, saying he had completed the Wild Goose railway, which runs from Nome City to the mines on Anvil oreek, a distance of eight or nine miles It is now in operation, handling both freight and passengers. 'As to mining," Mr. Lane snid in conclusion, "that has been greatly re tarded owing to.a lack of water. Up to the time we left thore had been but little rain, though we had a shower or two while w weoe en route to Dutch harbor, and these rains may. have ex tended to Nome. I think there will be more or less of a rainfall at Nome this month, and if it comes in sufficient quantities the gold output of the die trict will yet be considerable. In any event, my faith in the camp as an ulti mate gold producer is unshaken." FOUR KILLED, ONE HURT. An Old Fued Fought Out at a I'lenlo In Missouri. Farmington, Mo., August 8. Four men were killed and one fatally wounded in a shooting affair between William Dooley and his four sons on one side, and the four Harris brothers, on the other, Doe Run, one of the min ing towns of St. Francois county, as the result of a fued.

A few days ago the Harris boys sent word to the Dooleys that they would be at Doo Run and intended to run the Dooleys off the grounds. Just how the shooting began is not dear. All the Harris boys except one, Bill, were shot. One was killed instantly. Three of tho Dooley boys, who were unhurt, came to i arm ing ton and gave them selves up. They are in jail. Battle With Moonshiners, Paul's Valley, I. T., August 8. Al result of a pitched battle, with moonshiners near Johnson, 20 miles from Paul's Valley, one deputy mar shal was wounded slightly and another, Schrimpsher, of Paul's Valley, is miss. ing.

The leader, named Tioe, a veteran Arkansas distiller, and other members of the gang escaped. After four days' pursuit they were located by a posse of deputies in a deep ravine near Johnson.

Bureau of Navigation, Washington: There is a British report, unofficial, of an engage ment at Peit Sang, Sunday morning, from 3 to 10:80. Allied loss in killed and wounded, 1,200, chiefly Russians and Japanese. Chinese are retreating. "TAUSIG." "Clio Foo, August 8 Bureau of Navigation, Washington: Oflioial re port, believed reliable, says about 10, 900 allies heavily engaged the Chinese it Peit Sang, davlight, 5th. "EEMEY." Teit Sang is the first railroad station about six miles northwest of Tien Tsin, en route to Tekin. Tausig, who signed the first dispatch, is iu command ol the Yorktown, which is at Che Foo. i Interest in the Chinese situation was Intensified this morning by the receipt of two dispatches from naval oilicers at Che Foo, repentini! unoflloial but apparently reliable reports of active ana extensive hostilities between the allied forces and the Chinese on the line between Tien Tsin end Pekin, The dispatches Indicate unmistakably that the relief column' has started in earnest, and that it is meeting with determined opposition. Although neither of the naval dispatohes men tions the presence of American troops in the reported engagement, it is gen erally assumed at the war department that at least a part of General Chaf fees' small army took an active aud aggressive part in the affair. According to the information in pos session of the war department, the town of Peit Sang is at tho head oi tidewater on the Pel Ho, between 11 and 12 miles by road beyond Tion Tsin. it is a village of mud huts of conidera- ble size, but not walled. The river at this point is not navigable by anything larger than a good-sized steam launch. and it is thought that the troops proba bly reached there in small boats towed, by the naval launches. The count along the river between Pekin and Tien Tsin is a low alluvial plain, almost impassable for wheeled vehicles in the wot season, and under quite a high state of cultivation. It mesents nn natural defensive features, and the wai department knows no strategic reason why the Chinese should have made a taud there, rather than at any other ol the dozen villages east of tho walled town of Tung Chow, where is stored an immense amount of provisions upon which the city of Pekin would have to depend in case of siege. Stevedores Strike. Baltimore. August 8.
