2 THE vesseis. Butas ort time since they fur- | nished the tug Holyoke wi h over a hun- | dred tons, and now realizas that its re- maining supply will barely suffice to ac- commodate the demands of the reguiar steamers. Scarce 500 tons remain 10 sup- ply the Bertha, Dora, Exceisior and Lakme, which steamers will make their last raus for the season. % This company as no expectation of sectiring an additional supply, as Man- ager Rudolph Newmann says that they presumed the opposition company had ar- ranged to supply all probable demands. This thev may yet be able 1o do, as Sidney Lrown, manager ot the North American Commercial Company, who sailed for San Francisco Aungust 22 on the steamer Del Norte, was fuily acquainted with the ex- i1sting conditions here. It 1s generally be- lievea that the mpany will send a ship laden with from 500 to 1000 tons to supply the present and increasing demands. Captain Kidston is making strenuous efforts to induce Commandant Hooper to agree that he shall have about 160 tons of tueir coal, with the idea that the expected supply vessel will arrive in ample time to furnish the required fuel for the revenue cutters. In any event the Portland can proceed on her passage to St. Michael, baving a sufficent quota of fuel, now used as ballast, to Jast ber until she again returns to this port. 1f an additional supply has not then been received hLere a serious problem will be encountered. It will neces- sa:ily mean the delay for an indefinite veriod of the amer Portiand, with its probable passenger list of hundreds of re- t ing Kondikers and millions of dol- larsin goid aust, The steamer Cleveland, which is also under charter to the orth American Transportation and Trading Company and which left Seattle a few days aiter the Portland sailed, will be unable to re- turn to her home port without coaling at Dutes Harbor. Itisexpected that both steamers will be able to leave St. Michael about the same time. Ten to twelve days should suffice to unload the steamer Port- Jand, which contains considerable neavy steamer machinery, while a shorter num- ber of days will be required to unload the Cleveland. Iuis the intention of the company to re- turn the latter steamer immediately tc Seattle as soon as she shzll be ready, but unless all toe river boats are down tie Yukon the Portland will be detained to await the last arrival. Thus the uncer- tainty of general conditions and the short- age of the coal supply may make the re- turn of these vessels to Sealtle a question of some dista me, Ldvices by the Bertha, just in from St Michael, are to the effect that all steam- ers discharging cargo experience great aifficulty on account of a shortage of longshoremen. Tuis work hasordinarily been done by natives, who have earned all the money they care to for the pres- eni season, and a large majority of the Indians have left for thei homes A schooner lumber laden receatly had but 1WO men at w unioading Captain J. N. Hays of the Bertha says the river steamer Charles . Hamil on d St. Michsel on September 12, the evening b Bertha satled. The Hamilton w as faras Fort Yukon, and distributed her passengers at various points along the river between that point and St. Mic Al number located at Minook Creek, where excellent pros- pecis b been found, and oid Yukoners are of the opinion that the gold yieid of this creek may yet compare with that of the Klonaike, The highest point reached | by passengers from St. Michael is 800 | miles from th - mouth of the river. Boats have been he!d back by the unprecedented shallown oi the river, the Hamilton, which dra less than two feet, having experienced much difficulty on the bars. “There was some sign of disturbance at St. Michael by the uaruly elemeni,’” said | Captain Hays, “but the timely arrival of | the revenue cutter Corwin, dispatched by Commandant Hooper, hud the desired ei- fect. There have bren at least 250 people at St. Michael for the past few weeks, and | of course where men have been delayed for weeks at u time there sre certain 1o be a large percentage of malcontents. But at present all i1s quiet, and there is no 1 of disturbance. 1 met; should jud_e there are at least 5000 in the ba n ot the Yukon, and in my opiuion that number avill be able to win- ter mong the placers with the amount of visions now in ihe countrv. 7Thereis er of famine arising from the in- flux of straggiers who have crept over the passes by the overland route, dependina on supplies that in fact are not in the count Witnout question these men will insist on a division of supplies, and 1 am afraid it will be a hard case of ‘pincn out’ with most of the prospectors. A most significant circumstance is found in iue fact that old Yukoners are getting out of the country as fast as they can.’’ Father Tosi, for years the leader of the Jesuits in Alaska, was a guest of Captain Hays, and when asked what he thonght of the prospects for the tenderleet shook his nead and remarked that the influx of prospectors was little short of a crime. Tiie steamer Nortl: Fork with the Mare Isiand, from San Franciseo, reached St Michzel in_safety September 11. Experi- enced mariners say the escape of the Mare Island is equaled only by that of the Eliza Anderson. The Politofski, J. K. Merwin and the tug Holyoke, from Seat- tle, arrived at St. Michael September 9. There is a Government official in Un- alaska holding over from the Cleveland administration, who anxiously awaits bis releass from official duties and a saiary of $1000 per vear. It is L. R. Woodward, w. 0 came frem Humboldt Coun Cal., three years ago to serve Uncle Sam in the capacity of United States Commissioner. Under the impression thata Republican office-hunter would soon find bis place he bas been looking for several months for his successor, but he cometh not. When the steamer Humbolds recently sailed for £eattie Mr. Woodward sent his family down. He has not as yet sentin his resig- nation, thinking that reliel would come on every noribh-bound wessel. His pa- tience has now been sorely tried and he threatens to soon bolt his job. W. A. STEEL. P . ARRIVAL OF THE RUSH. The Revenue Cutter Brings Four of the Crew c¢f the Wrecked Scnooner Huen->me. The revenue cutter Richard Rush, Cap- tain W, H. Roberts In command, from Si. Michael, reached port yesterday morning. sue brought down with er four of the wrecked crew of the Hueneme, whicy went to pieceson Unimak Islan) on Sep- tember 7. The men were Emil Jounson, first mate; Joun Larsen, second mate, and Daniel Headman and Niis Caroliuson or Nilson, seamen. The men report a terrible experience, and it is principally to the bravery of Caroliuson that they owe taeir lives. The Hueneme struck on the rocks at Seal Head on the night of the 7th, und when it became known that the vessel wouid zo to pieces, Caroliuson volunteered 10 attempt to swim ashore, Tying a I fe- line about iiim, ke plunged over the ship’s tide and struck out for the rocky coast. After a br ve batile witn the waves he reached land exhausted, and making fast the line the crew was soon 1iran:ferred from the sinking boat to the berren coast, There they remained until the 15th, when the our men vrought down by the Rash resolved to put to sea in their boat in the liope of beine picked np by some passing steamer. This they did, and after being tossed about for four days in an open boat were sighted by the Alaska Commerc al Company’s steamer Dora. They were taken on boa:d and brought to Dntch Harbor, where the Rush found them. The men lost every hing vut the ciothes 1ney wore.

She broke on the first turn and at the half was fifth, back of Lerraine, the favorite. Bessie and Lottie came under the wire so close together that the judges called it adaad heat. Lottie's official time for the last half was 1:013{ and a number of timers cau-ht Bessie in a minute or less. The 2:053 for Lottie Lorraine lowered the record ior pacing mares 34 of a second. She and two others had held ine old record, Bessie Bonehill’s bad breaks in the subse. guent heats made Sherman Clay winner of the race. The average time of the twenty-two heats to-day was less than 1 and makes a new record for a meeting in that respect.

In the meantime the score board was shewing how easily the Boston fans were taking their game away from tha Brooklyns, and the last vestige of hope slow!y died out in the breasts of the handful of rooters, who still clung to the belief that Brooklyn might take one from the leaders ana give the “birds” a chance to caich up by winring all four games from the Senators, Those who have studied the game closely, however, had no such hope, asitwas appareat to them that the Washington men had been playing in better form than have those from Brooklyn in recent games, and then it was known that the Washington management was very anxious to wia at least oue from Baiti- more, and would not be displessed to have the pennant go to Boston. To them, therefore, the result of to-dsy’s game was not unexpected, and it is not saying 100 much to assert that the result is not alto- gether unwelcome in Baltimore, for the reason that it is generally admitted that Boston has proved to have thy better club in the recen remerkable series played in Ealtimore, and ai lovers of the game, no matter what their pre. judices may be, are conient to see the trophy | of the championsaip fall to the lot of 1he best team. The outcome of both gemes was waiched, however, with great interest, aud wherever crowds gathered bulletins were read to them. In almost every instance the news that Boston had clinched it azd thatthe champios ship was no longer in doubt was received with satisfaciion and in some cases with cheers. This was notably the case at Pimlico, where the result by inuings was read from (he an- nouncer’s box during the trotiins races in progress there. A posiponed gawe wil be plaved to-morrow und with Saturdav’s contest the season at Baitimore will end. On Sunday the Orioles wiii depart for Boston with ihe hope that they may save the Temple cup. The story of to-day’s game is like (he story ofastern chase at sea. Washington started the run-getting in the vers firs inning, Se bach geting & Pass to first, snd going 10 se ond on Geitman's single. Demont bunted. It went up in tne air,and Poud might have worked & double piay if he had heid i, but it slipped througi his fingers and the bases were full. McGuire fouled out to Ddyle, but Tucker banged one inio left, sending Selbach snd Gettman across the plate with (wo runs. Baltimore then got ome run on MeGraw's bounder. which jumped away from Demon, Getiman's' fambie of Jennings' siagle aliow: ing nim to go to third, and Kelier's long fly out to Browa bringing him in. In the third Demont singied and stole sec- oud, going to third on Robinson’s poor throw. Tucker's long flv to Stenzel brought in the run, aided by ‘Jake’s” poor throw to head Demont off. Brown al<o reached tuird in this inning, but was nipped at the plate. Wrigley opencd the fourth with a three- bagger. ~Mercer dupiicated the hit, scoring Wr.giey. Selbach got his base on bails, but was forced by Gettman at second, Mercer scor- ing on the play. In the next inning a base on valls, a single, a double and several picturesque errors by the home players, netied the visitors four runs and it was ail over butthe shouting. After that it was a procession, wita the “three.ttmo winners” bringing up the rear, although & base on balls, a two-bagger and a single gave the losers two runs in the sixth.

Boston won 1heé game, while Washingion trounced the Champions, which lenves Boston the undisputed champions for 1898. Even should Baltimore win hoih their games they can only altain a percentage of 700 poiuis, Shouid Brooklyn win from Boston on Satur- dey the iatier would siill have a pireentage of 704 The excitement at to-day’s game was very Sept. { great. In the sccond inuing, when the Bostous scored five runs, which gave taem & safe lead, men and wownen alike rose in their seais and yeiled franticaily. When the lead became so greal tbal there was no more hope for the home team the faithful joined the Bostons &na their rooters and for a time nobody could hear anvthing else but people yelling “Bos- ton.” Young Dunn wus put in the box to fool the new chepions, but Captain Grifiin m.ght as well have vood up a wooden man. The bean-eaters had their bating clothes on and the faster Dunn tossed them across tie iate the harder Captain Duffy’s men could ine the leather out. The only trouble was that the batting was all oue sided. The home ieam could do bu:i littie with Klobedanz, the Boston twirler. About the only time they hit him with any effect was in the third inning. The fie:ding, 1ike tne bat- ting, was one-sided. Brookiyn made only four actual errors, but some of the players wore guilty of some of the most siupid piays seen iu many days. Boston's work in the fie.d was stmply marvelous, Nothins seemed 100 hard for them toget. Lowe and Long alone cutoff four hits by their briliaut fielding. Seore: R H.

Mayor Joslah Quincy on Affalrs as They Are Administered at the Hub. COLUMBUS, On1o, Sept. 30.—A feature of Wednesday’'s session of the national conference of Mayors and Councimen that aroused great interest among the delegates was the reading of a paper con- tributed by Nathan Stranss of New York on “The Influence of a Pure-milk Supply on the Death Rate of Children.” Most of the municipal officials here were conversant only to alimited extent with the work being done by Mr. Strauss in New York Cily. Naturally they were eager 1o learn all its details and listened al of them with close atten- tion. The paper was read by Mr. Ford of New York. lis opening statement, that ‘‘there is practically no miik delivered for ceneral consumption in cities that is fit to be fed in its natural state to young chii- dren,” was naturally startling, The paper closed with the foilowing appeal: 1 think I ha'e “girly demonstrated the pro osition tnat ma ¥ thousand of infant lives are nnnually sacrificed by the neglect to sup- ply for the nuiriment of ehildren mitk which has been subjected to the process of pasteur- ization. 1hold that meglect to be criminal, for it.

All that I plead foris the exteusion | of the ae ivity of local voards of healthinto a ¥ note | tant nt aceeeded in m pre: ing you with the iact that the dictates of h maiiity and of public duty combine in ae- manding that this backwardness should exist | no longer. Mayor J. A. Jonson of Fargo argued for unilormity of State laws pertaining 10 municipal organization and urged upon the conierence the forming of a perma- | nent committee on legislation, one from each State, 1o formulute a plan whereby Legislatures may make their municipal | legisiation uniform as to police powers. The appearance upon the platform of Hon. Josiah Quincy, Mayor of Bostou, was greeled with a welcoming applause accorded no other speaker so far. His zd- dress was sche (uled as “Municipal Affairs as Administered in Boston,” but its scope was much wider. It presented a clearer analysis ¥ the differences between Fed- etal, State, urban and rural adminisira- tion, and defined the possibilities of mu- nicipal public service as almost iimitless. He said that the questions whetber city lif has not already proved too powerful a magnet in atiracting peopie from the country to the town—whether Jarze num- bers of those who to-day earn & scanty sometimes a precarious livelihood in cities would not be materially beiter off in_the country; whether municipalities will not yet be iorced, in self-defense, to | open up some regular channels through the public may bs returned, so to speak, 1o the so0il, 1o earn their own support from 1ts caltivation, raise problems for the futurs which can only be sugeested at the present time.. He continuod : The practical fact with which we hrve to deal js th this tendency toward a relatively greater growh of urban than of rural popula- tion docs not yet seem to have suifered any check and that the good ¢r bad administra- tion of municipal gov rnment effects a far larger number of peop'e and a greater fraction of the total popuistion than ever b-fore. At the swme time, the different kinds of public service eit.er direcily undertaken or indirectly controlled by the modern ity are more numerous, im riant, cosuy and com- plex than have éver bee expected in the past of auy kind of local administration. By its action this afternoon in the elec- tion of a permanent executive secretary, the conference of Mayors struck the rock which, in thie opinion of many of most conservative ana far-seeing members, seriously threatens its possibilities for use- fulness and may wreck it absolutely at the start. B. F. Gilkinson, publisher of City Gov- ernment, was the recipient of the honor, and in the presentation of his name by Mayor Green of Binghamton, N. Y., it was declared that if his candidacy should provoke any considerable opposition, he would not permit himseif to destroy the unity and the harmony of the new organi- zation at the outset. Up to midnignt, however, Mr. Gilkin- son has not resigned the office. There was no objection to Gilkinson as to char- acter or abiity, but those opposed to him | felt that with him as secretary und execu tive officer the crganization would be hopelessly tied up to his publication as its organ, and thus be eharged with the re- sponsibility for the policy of the magazine and all its utterauces. The fizht was pre- taied eariy in the session, when the constitution was under consideration. | The fcurth article prov.des that ali the officers, except the secretary, shall be of- ficers of a munic pality, holding member- ship in the organization. Mayor Quiney of Buston moved 1o strike out the cxcepe tion and the fight was on. Mr. Quincy, Mayor Jones of Toledo, Joliet, I1l., led the fight against Giikinson. They argued that Mr. Gilkinson’s publi- cailon was persisient in its attacks upon private ownership of Municipal service plants and bostile to all corporate inter- ests, and that his election wouid tie the organization to his publication and work tue ruin of the league. T e constituiion provides that the name of the Mayors’ orcanization shall be the League of American municipalities. Its objects are the general improvement and 1acilitation of every branen of municipal administration. John McVicar of Des Moines, Iowa, was elected president; Mayor Collier of At- lan‘a, vice-president; Mayor Black of Columbus, treasurer, and ‘the fo'lowing trustees: Mavor Warner of Peoria, Ili.; Councilman Walker of Trenton, N. J., and Counci:man Rand of Minneapolis. Detroit was chosen as the next place of meeting. Delagates to-night predict the ‘ailure of the league if it is to be run as a_sidesbow to a monthly publication.

Pointed Declaration in the Platform Relating to the Currency. Free Colnage of Silver at 168 to 1 Said to Be Destructive to All Public Interests. BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 30.—The State Convention of the National Democracy (Gold party) assembled in tnis city to-day. Moorfield Storey was the permanent chairman. His speech upon bis assuming the gavel was in large part a review oi the tariff legislation of the last Congress and of the currency question. [t also gave ex- pression to unaltered cpposition to the platiorm of the Chicago National Demo- cratic Convention. When nominations were in order for Governor s aelegate presented the name of Gamaliel Bradford. It received no sec- ond, and Dr. William Everett was nom- 1nated by acclamation. The full ticket nominated was as follows: Governor, Dr. William Everett. Lieutenant-Governor, James E. Cotter. Treasurer and Receiver-General, Horace P. Tobey, Auditor, Harry Dougla Attorney-General, William McClenich. following declaration regarding the cur- rency: We adhere to and insist upon the main- tenance of the preseat gold stundard. We be- lieve that the free coinage of silver at a ratio 0116 101, when the present commercial ratio i8 nearly 40 10 1, would be destructive to the interesis of wage-earners, of depositors in sav- ings banks, of the insureZ, of the veterans and of the whoie people. We telieve that the pay- ment of debis, pubiic or vrivate, in dollars of less intrinsic value then those in which they were contracted is dishonorable and dis- honest. Therefore, we reaffirm our allegiance to the finaneial vrinciples which guided Jeffer- son, Jackson and Cleveland—thrt it is the sole function of the Federsl Government in mone- taly matters to, provide a standard of value and 10 coin metaliic money, every dollar of which shail be of equal intrinsic value; that notuing but this coinea money shall be legal tender, and that tne Government shall not c8rry on a bauking business. We demand that some safe plan be adopted whereby our legal tender paper, siiver und er certificates, shall be withdrawn and a banking system under proper control be es. tablished, through which adequate banking facil may be furnished toall sections of the countrs. We believe that a currency based upon busi- ness assets and 1ssued upon proper safeguards responds automatically to the necessities of commerce and permits of au elastic medium of exchange in those sections where it is most needed ior the creation of new enterprises and the employment of American labor. The platform declares for revenue only and for the abolition of all duties which tend to create and maintain monopolies and trusts, demands the extension of the principle of civil service reform to all post- offices, to the consular service and within the Siate to municipal offices. TAMMANY'S SLATE INTACT. Men Nominated for Cfficers of Greater New York and the Fres-Silver Issue Ignored.

Coler of Brooklyn; President of the Council, Jacob Ruppert Jr. of Manhattan.

Tue platform makes no reference to the Chi- cago platform, William J. Bryan or free silver. It favors home rule and repeal of the Raineslaw and other restrictions on personal liberty, and demands dollar gas and municipal ownership of franchises. The nominations evoked disapproval rather than enthusiasm in the convention hail. Richard Croker did not attend the con- vention. John C. Sheeban was loudly cheered when he appeared. Mr. Sheehan called the convention to order and nomi- nated Congressman Amos J. Cummings ior temporary chairman. Having carried out the instrustions on the slate the convention adjourned at 11:04 o’clock. Lovert A.
