National Socialist Leader Very
III and May Have to Drop
Out of Campaign.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
New York, Oct. 14—Eugene V. Debs,
presidential candidate on the national
socialist ticket is very ill. The con
stant exertion in the strenuous cam- j
paign and the attendant loss of sleep
have made serious inroads on his
health and strength. His condition is
such that his physicians fear he may
be forced to give up further participa
tion in the campaign.
Dr. Bull Dying
By Cable to Tbe Dally Gateway.
New York, Oct. 14—Dr. Bull, a
physician and surgeon well known in
Europe and this country, and with a
world wide reputation as a specialist,
is reported to be dying.
Railroad Rumors
There is a railroad rumor that has
not yet been published that may ac
count for the recent strange unrest of
Wall street, it is to the effect that
the Great Northern will next month
transfer the service of the Burling
ton to its tracks from the Nor
thern Pacific, and that the Northwest
ern Line will take over the Northern
Pacific and change its title to the
Northwestern Pacific Line. This
would place it under the control of the
New York Central Lines, of which
Harriman is said to have secured con
trol from Gould. Whether the rumor
be correct or not, there is certainly
great unrest among the trans-continen
tal lines, and a battle for control, in
cluding the Pacific Coast situation,
tin t is worthy of more careful study
than seems to be given by Coast ship
pers.
Quartz Claims at Tlgalda
W. J. Summerville, who passed
through here some time ago, is now at
Tigalda, an island near Unalaska,
where he is at work on some mining
claims. He is said to have an immense
gold quartz property located there.
Mr. Summerville was at one time con
nected with the Daniels creek mining
property about eighty miles from
Nome.

Score 3 to 0.
jy Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Chicago, Oct. 14—The fourth game
for the world’s championship among
the pennant winners of the baseball
teams was played yesterday between
Chicago and Detroit. The score stood
three to nothing in favor of Chicago.
This makes three games out of four
that have been won by Chicago. The
batteries were Brown and King for
Chicago, Summers and Schmidt for
Detroit.
New York to Havana by Rail
From time to time there have been
rumors, doubtless not wholly without
foundation, t hat the Florida East Coast
railway will arrange to operate a ferry
from Key West to Havana, upon which
railway cars will be transferred bodily,
and conveyed on Cuban railways to
various points in Cuba. The distance
across the strait is less than 100 miles{
and there is nothing in the proposition
that is not entirely practicable from an
engineering point of view.—Engineer
ing Magazine for October.
