Rome, Augnst 16.—The railroad ac­
cident which occurred about midnight
1*2 miles from this city turns out to
have been more serious than reported.
It now appears that 12 persons were
killed and 40 wounded, of whom 15
are seriously injured.
The disaster was caused by the te e-
scoping of two sections of the train ou
the railroad from Rome to Florence,
bearing notable persons who had been
attending the recent ceremonies here.
The engine of the first section became
disabled and stopped and the train was
almost immediately afterwards struck
by the second section. The Grand
Duke and Grand Duchess Peter of
Russia and the members of the Turk­ j
ish mission, who had attended the
funeral of Kiug Humbert, were among
the passengers, but they were unin­
jured. The grand duchess is a sistet
of the new queen of Italy.
When informed of the accident. King
Victor Emanuel and Queen Helene,
hastened to the scene. The queen and
her sister returned to the quirinal,
while the king and the grand duke re
maiued ou the spot, giving orders tc
assist in clearing the wreck and saving
the injured. They re-entered the qui­
rinal at 6 o’clock in the morning.

Necessity for the Improvement of the
Columbia River.
Washington, August 18.—More than
ever before is it now necessary to make '
an improvement at the mouth of the '
Columbia river. That improvement
has always been necessary, but when
it is pointed out in the report of the
naval board that it is desirable to have
a drydock on the Coumbia, that makes
the necessity for the great improve-
mnt according to the latest plans of
the euigneers greater than ever, and
it now devolves upon congress to pro­
vide for such an improvement in the
next river and harbor bill. The Unit­
ed States has fleets upon the oceans. '
It has naval resales, it has army trans­
ports, besides the growing Pacific com-
merce carried in vessels owned by pri- |
vate corporations and individuals.
These vessels must be cared for in the
government docks, and it is necesasry
to have a repair station where they can
be taken care of in case of accident. |
The interests in the far East have de- |
veloped. Instead of being less, there
will be more ships, and there will be
more naval vessels on the Pacific
coast than there are today. The ueces-
sitites are greater. We shall always
have armies in the Philippines, and
they must have supplies, and trans- '
ports must carry soldiers to and from
those distant shores. When this mat­
ter is made plain to the men who have
charge of preparing the next river and
harlior bill, there ought to lie no difli- |
culty in making the Columbia river
improvement one of such profound im­
portance by reason of the proposed
building of a government drydock and
naval station, that they will make
proper provision for the improvement
of the mouth of the Columbia. This (
naval station and dock are absolute
necessities in order Io keep pace with
the progress Hud development of the
Pacific coast.

Klondike Output of Gold for the Tear

•45,000.000.
Daw-on, Y. T., August 18.—The
Kloudike output of gold during the
veal 1900 will reach $25,000.000.
Improved methode of mining, resulting
from the introduction of suitable ma­
chinery, together with a better knowl­
edge of conditions here, etc., cheapen­

that was formerly unprofitable is now
paying. Wages are fairly good, $5 per
day and board being the ruling pay,
and, while there are many idle men
complaining of dull times, one who
re*Uy wants work can get it,
The action of the Canadian govern­
ment in prohibiting relocations on all
the creeks aud closing Bonanza and El­
dorado to locations, is driving out the
prospector and small miner, and re­
tards developmmeut to that extent.
Capital 1s coming in, however, and
groups and blocks of claims are being
bought up for large workings. It is
the old story of the individual miner
giving way to the syndicates, and
hunting new prospects. Hundreds of
these during the last spring have left
the Klondike and gone to American
territory, where, it is claimed, the poor
man has a better chance than here.
Nome has taken the majority, but
many have gone to nearer points.
An early rush went to the Koyukuk,
but late reports from there are very
unfavorable. Barties just returned say
that very little gold has been taken out
in that camp, and the ground "is ex­
ceedingly difficult to work, on account
of glaciers which overlie the bedrock.
The Forty-Mile and Birch Creek dig­
gings, both of which were practically
deserted in the rusn to Dawson in 1897
and later in the Nome stampede last
fall, are again coming into favor, <or it
las never been disputed that there is
much good ground there that will pay
wages and more.
The latest candidate for popular fa­
vor is the Tanana district. Reports
from there are generally good. The
ground is three to seven feet deep only,
overlaying a slate and porphry bed­
rock, and there is plenty of water for
sluicing, all of which makes it an idea)
couuity for summer working. It is
said to be easily approached from the
Tanana river. One to four ounces per
day is said to be the usual amount per
man, shoveling into the sluices.
The recent action of the United
States government in surveying a rail­
road and telegraph route from Valdes
to Eagle City, aud its promptness in
pushing through a trail with stations,
etc., along the line, is attracting mnch
attention here. The further fact that
the various civil officers for the eastern
division of Alaska, embracing the Koy­
ukuk, Tanann and Yukon water-sheds,
are now duly installed at Eagle City,
gives great satisfaction. It is a long
step in the right direction, and great
developments may be expected in Alas­
ka within a few years.
