U.—The United States board of geographic names, which meets here at stated intervals, has just rendered decisions determining the spelling of 149 geographic names. These include a number in Alaska significant at this time in view of the Klondike excitement. Man" variations of nomenclature for the same place are eueouutered. and the board's action settles the uniform usage. Following is a summary of action taken relating to places conspicuously mentioned in the gold storied As to Klondike, the decision is to spell it as here given, aud not Clon3yke, Kloudyke, Chandike, Chandill, or Deer, Reindeer, Throudikc, nor Thron j Diuck. One of the lakes of the upper Yukon j was named LaRarge, by the Western . Union Telegraph expedition in ISbS, after Mike Laliarge, a member of the I exploring party, who is now living j somewhere near Ottawa. Cauadu. Late j publications have fallen into the error of spelling this LaBrage, but the board j adheres to the original form Laliarge. There is a Laliarge river in Alaska. When Sehwatka descended the Yukon in 1333 he named one of the lakes I on its headwaters Lindemau, after Dr. Moritz Lindeman, now vice-president j of the Bremen Geographical society.

Admiral Meade, in wrote it Tyyea. Kraus, ; iu 13-2. wrote it Dejah; Schwatka. in | 1883, Davay; Dali, in 1333, Taiya. The board adopts the form Taiya. i For the lake aud river variously called llootalinqua or Uotaliuga, or Tesliu-Uina, or Teslin-Too, or Tesliu, the board adopts Tesliu. The terminations Hina and Too are said to mean river in different dialects. dn Indian village on the middle Yukon is called NuUlukayet. This has been written iu several forms including the erroneous oue Tuklukyet.

A BURST WATER MAIN IniiurDse lUiuago Cuu««m1 In tU« Fashionable IVutwr of Now York 'CUjr. New Yokk, Oct. li.—A large Crotoa water main burst early yesterday morning at the corner of Madison avenue and Forty-eighth street, the heart of the fashionable districts,^ and wrought such havoc with property both near aud remote that not eveu a partial calculation cun be made of the financial damage at present- For blocks arouud scarcely a building escaped injuries from the volumes of water which poured into the streets aud basements. The \pss will reach far into the thousands. The damage bv water extends as far far west as Sixth avenue and as far east as First avenue. The sewers were choked by the great rush of water, and theu the Hood rose in the streets. The big water maiu was probably cracked : by a blast which was tired in a sewer j excavation late Saturday afternoon, j Then in the night time, when the | strain on the pipe was greatest, it gave j way and the flood followed. The breaking of a the pipe was an- | nounced by a rumbling noise which ' awakened the people iu the immediate 1 vieiuitv. Looking out of their wiu- ’ .lows they saw a great geyser in the | middle of the avenue shooting a vast | volume of water into the aif, a column so high that it reached almost to the ] ‘ top of the electric light pole on the corner. Those who had uo view of the fountain heard a mighty rush of water. For five hours this .column shot iuto the air before it was shut off at its source, and in that time 10,000,000 gallons of water had run down the aveuue ] and side streets on either hand. All : the streets east of Madiaou avenue slope gradually, and down them the water surged in a torrent, flooding the cellars and basements. The most serious damage was done j to the building of the railroad branch of the Y. M. C. A. aud the Knieker- ! bocker Athletic club house. In the basement of the latter place the dynamos, machinery, bowling alleys, bath | rooms and big swimmiug tank have | probably been ruined by the flood. I The club officials place the loss at $15,000. The club house will be closed I until the damage has been repaired. After five hours the flow was stopped. Almost without exception the houses in the vicinity of the break were so flooded that thev have been damaged from $500 to $*.1.000. The residence of J. Hooker Uamersley, William Eustace. J. Tat pot and the clubhouse of the Delta Phi were among those most damaged. Arrival of Clara Barton. New Yokk, Oct. 11.—Among the passengers on the French liner La Bretague, whieh arrived yesterday from Havre, was Clara Barton, president of the American Red Cross society.
