The letter stated that the organization, in its objects, did not differ materially from other patriotic societics, but pointed with pride to its me- strictive membership, no one being permit- ted to inscribe his name on the roll unless he volunteered his services in the defense of the Union prior to any draft or offer of bounty, and served at least two years, or was discharged on account of wounds re- ceived in battle. Continuing the letter said: “Our members, all, having thus a record of actual war service, feel that we have the right to claim for ourselves all the privileges guaranteed to the defenders of Department of the Interior, Washington. : “To whom it may concern: “In view of information received at this eepartment that 3,000 persons with 2,000 tons of baggage and freight are now wait- ing at the entrance to White Pass, in Alaska, for an opportunity to cross the mountains to the Yukon river, and that many more are preparing to join them, I deem it proper to call the attention of all who contemplate making that trip to the exposure, privation, suffering and danger incident, thereto at this advanced period of the season, even if they should succeed in crossing the mountains. “To reach Dawson City, when over the pass, seven hundred miles of difficult navi- gation on the Yukon river, without ade- =e ‘POR THE FUTURE a van HAVANA, Atigust 10.—The official’ an- nouncement of the assas#ination of Senor Canovas de} Castiiie, the Spanish premier, was published today in the Offictal Gasette and the other tocal newspapers.

Dixeuan the Crime, TWO OF THE LATTER HURT FEARS —_+—__—_ BOSTON, August 10.—While attemot- ing to escape from the state prison at Charlestown, just before noon today, Her- bert Willis, the young Taunton desperado, who was recently sentenced to life tm- prisonment for the murder of ‘Fred N. Strange, was fatally injured, and his brother Edward, who assisted him in his break for liberty, was seriously wounded by the guards. Two of the latter were wounded by the Willis brothers. Edward Willis, who had gone into the prison to visit his brother, had contrived GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispate:, to The Evering Star. NEW YORK, August 10.—Realizing was again the most conspicuous feature of stock market operations. The most en- couraging feature, however, was found in the fact that prices were not materially curtailed in the process.

The body of the late premier lies on his bed in the apartments which he occupied at Santa Agueda. It is covered with a shroud, two tapers are burning-at the foot of the bed, an altar has been erected in the room, and masses for the repose of the soul of the déad are being constantly cele- brated. ° Senor Castelar, the republican leader, in an interview is quoted as saying he will rot join any cabinet unless it is republican, adding that Senor Scgasta, the liberal lead er, ought to be a member of the new cabi net, with the pledged support of the con. servatives. ‘The queen regent has written a letter to Senora Canovas del Casiillo, widow of the premier, in which her majesty says: “I am so affected and grieved by the hor- rible misfortune that I cannot find words to express the pain I feel. I would like to send you my consolation, but I can only weep with you for the dear being you have Icst, and who loved you so much. “T, too, have lost a great deal.

C., believing these promises and pledges to the old soldiers to be made in good faith, appeals to you on behalf of the comrade whose papers we have the honor herewith to place in your hands. “We may here add that it is our deter- mined purpose not to indorse nor present to anv department the applications of any persons for positions whom we have not thoroughly investigated and found worthy and competent to perform the duties of the positions which they seek.” The communication was signed by M. J. Foote, president: G. C. Kniffin, first vice president; John N. Ehle, second vice presi- @ent; Wm. R. Hillyer, secretary; Andrew Geddes, Fletcher White, John Finn, Luke Kelly and Edward Dunn. Secretary Wilson’s Reply. In reply to the letter the Secretary of Agriculture made reply as follows, under date of July 27, to Colonel Foote: “Your favor of recent date, recommend- ing a comrade for a place in this depart- ment, has -been received, carefully noted and placed on file for future consideration. Louis, Mo.; A. E. Wilson, Louisville, Ky. The business of chief tmportance will be to select eleven men to devote their time to the werk mapped out for them to com- pose the commission. To them wilt be in- trusted the responsibility of undertaking to devise some satisfactory and acceptable plan for revising, reforming and regulating the currency system. The selection by this committee of such a commission is in accordance with the powers conferred upon it in resolutions of the convention of business men held at In- dianapolis last January. ‘The sessions, for the most part at least, will be executive. The quatifications of every man whose name is presentcd for membership on the commission will be dis- cussed. Gre@t care is to be taken in the make-up of this body. Bankers, business men and farmers are the classes from which it is proposed to frame it. The present outlook is that what is known as the Chicago plan will probably be adopted. The commission appointed will work upon the general scheme mapped out by the Indianapolis convention and will have exclusive power regardless of the executive committee and of the convention, in the construetion and presentation to Congress of a new financial system for this government. “I am moved to draw public notice to these conditions by the gravity of the pos- sible consequences to people detained 4n the mountainous wilderness during five or six months of an arctic winter, where no relief can reach them, however great the need.

London settlements were somewhat 4is- appointing in view of the fact that the expected short interest at that center failed to materialize. Early cables reflected con- cessions throughout the American depart- ment and brought few commissions to this side. : The professional element, inspired by the showing, made a determined attempt to force a decline. ‘A few fractions were forced off tempor- arily, but the moment the effort to rebuy the same securities was discovered a com plete recovery followed. The buying around delivery hour clearly reflected the needs of the short interest.

The dying exclamation. of Canovas, “Assassin; lorg live Spain,” is the subject of consid- erable comment in the newspapers. They al print. editorials expressing the great sorrow felt by the Spaniards at the death of the prime minister, refer to the great loss sustained by the Spanish nation and dwell upon the public and pri- vate virtues of the deceased statesman, while regretting his disappearance in these critical times. Apprehension for Future. The future {s referred to almost with ap- prehension, although the people are asked to trust in the patrictism of the Span- ish statesmen and in the loyalty of the Spaniards in both hemispheres in order to prevent further troubles for Spain. The appearance of the afternocn editions of the newspapers of Havana with the de- tails of the assassination was most eagerly awaited today.

At the time Officer Ed- ‘ard Whitham and Turnkey Darling were in the rotunda with Yard Officer Abbott, Officer Townsend and others near by. Sev- eral other visitors were in the rotunda at the time, &@ man, two women und two chil- dren. The Willis brothers had been conversing in a low tone, sitting apart from the others in the guard recom for about half an hour, when Officer Whitham saw the visitor pass a revolver to his brother, and together they sprang toward Turnkey Darling, their in- tention evidently being to secure his keys. The charge of embezzlement against George Miller was this afternoon nolle prossed. —_>—__. The Queen's Precedent. Frem the Bostot Herald.

Captain Verry, representing the government at the Bridgeport ammu- nition works, was at the department to- day and stated that the ammunition found on the Morgan belonged to the government and was being shipped to New York. It may be that the government will be called upon to pay a bill for demurrage growing out of the comedy of errors in- Yolving the detention of the Morgan. It is said at the War Department that the Morgan is a powder boat belonging to the Dupont Powder Company, and that for many years she has been engaged in thé sole business of carrying powder from the Dupont mills in Delaware to the am- munition factories in Connecticut.
