The incoming grand jury will, there- fore, also confront a well-filled docket. In audition to these pending charges there are a large number of cases which have already been disposed of by the grand jury, but in which trials have not yet been had. These are what are krown as bail cases, in which the accused parties have given bond to ap- pear for trial. Among these cases are those of Chas. J. Kieckhoefer, who is charged with having emvezzied several thousand dollars of State Lepartment funds; Dan Williains, the al- leged embezzler of Police Court funds, and Kcbt H. Martin, who stards indicted for the embezzlement of funds of the Columbian Uv rsity while he was the treasurer of institution. These three cases pr2- it is understood, unusually difficult acies for the prosecution, and it is the mtion of District Attorney Davis to ese of them as soon as possibile after Criminal Courts meet, the 5th of next month, although he will follow the practice of giving jail cases the precedence. The case against Hawkins, the tax office robber, will be among the first presented to the present grand jury. He will, it is said, piead guilty, but he need expect no leni- «ney, for District Attorney Davis stated to x Star reporter today that he will ask the ecurt to give him the extreme penalty, which {fs but three years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary at hard labor. —_—_— If you want enything, try an ad. in The Star.

NEWSPAPER WOMAN'S EXPERIENCE An Old Miner Writes Back of Dan- gers of Skaguay Pass. ADVISES ALL TO AVOID IT SEATTLE, Wash., September 13.—Sul- phur creek, a branch cf Domii which is tributary to the Indian is the scene of the latest gold excitemer in the Kicnaike. From accounts of tl new district brought cown on the schoo South Coast, it seems that the new dig- gings will al even the famous Bonanza and Eldorado. Gold was found just below the surface running $34 to the pan. The men took out $300 in a day by simply pres- pecting ther claims. A stampede followed the reports of the new finds, which reached Dawson city August 15. In a week 5X) men had crossed the mountains between Eldorado creek and Dominion creek. They traveled day and night, and in two weeks the whole stream was staked out. This in- formation, the first authentic story of Sul- phur creek, was given out yesterday by John E. Light of Chicago. He left Daw: on the steamer BeHa, August 1b. He own: a claim on Sulphur creek. He says: “When I first heard of the strike on Sulphur creek. I went over the mountains to investigate it. I spent on day with two brothers, the McKinnon boy: of Welligton, B. C. I saw them take out $300 in cne day .by simply sinking two Prospect holes. ‘The formation is the same as at Eldorado, and Sulvaur creek bears the same relation to Dominion as does Eldorado to Boranza. The streams empty into the Indian river. Of course, when the news of the new discovery reached Dawson thcre was a great stampede and lundreds left the Klondike for Sulphur creck. It is now all stakea out.” Portland’s Valuable Cargo. The treasuce ship Portland got away for St. Michael's at noon Sunday with a big cargo, consisting princinally of machinery for four steamers which are to de con- structed by Moran Bros of St. Michacl's this winter. One steel steamer, the John C. Barr, was complete. On the Po Y forward deck was a Maxim rap’ mowing down an ary ef privateers. It will tire 300 cartridge: weighing one pourd, per minute. Secretary Hamilton of the North Amer- ican Trading and Transportation Compa was abvard. Inside the captain's cab are a dozen new rifies, which will be used effectively, if need. ve, to proiect the treas ure which the Portland will bring dow from the Yukon mines. Newspaper Womnan’s Experiences. TACOMA, Wash., September 13.—Mrs. 8. A. Henderson, the first newspaper corre- spondent to make the trip to Dawson City, arrived on the Cleveland from St. Michael's, and is visiting friends in this city. She spent some months in the mining district, ard gives the Ledger some interesting ex- periences in the far north. “Talk about my report of the finding of the $583.25 nugget, the largest yet discover- ed in the Yukon country, which Nick Kut- zon picked up on No. 36 Eldorado, and is bringing to San Francisco on the Excel- sior, has increased the excitement. When the Excelsior with its reported cargo of nearly $1,000,000 in dust reaches San Fran- cisco the fevef# will probably reach its height. Yet the excitement is all on the outside. In the Klondike country even this huge nugget which is as large as your hands, with almest a perfect hatchet-head shape, did not greatly excite the miners. Has Become Cautious. “I am asked a score of times, ‘is the Klondike country as rich as reported? 1 was prepared to say that it could scarcely be exaggerated, but since then I have seen newspapers and I reply more cautiously. In several papers I saw the statement that somebody had seen five five-gallon cans of gold in one cabin, the work of two men for winter. No one in that country ever heard of such a cabin. “The truth is I lifted less than $13,000 of dust in a granite bowl with difficulty. “Alexander McDonald, who went in not long ago strapped, is now more than a millionaire. “Bill Coatwell bought a claim for $100 and sold sixty feet of it for $10,000. This was No. 17 Eldorado. On No. ¥ Eldorado there is a streak above bed rock three or four inches thick. The owners are taking oui very little because they can do nothing with the cumbrous gold dust now. “On the claim of Frank Densmore ninety pounds of gold was taken out. That is equal to something like $25,000. “The stories of the lucky faflures are extremely interestirg. Fritz Kloke tried to sell his half interest in a claim for $10). He could not get it. He has just sold the me half to John J. Henley for $10,000. There are dozens of just such fortunate strikes made blindfolded. “This is the lucky side of Yukon min- ing.” Dangers of Skaguny Pass. ST. LOUIS, September 13.—C. W. Gates of the ranch firm of Vail & Gates, Los Angeles, California and Arizona, who is fn the city, has just received an interesting letter from C. W. Anderson, whom ke grub-staked to go to the Klondike country. The letter is dated Skaguay pass, August 27, and says, in part: “I have now been out two weeks on this trail. I cannot describe the hardships of those who are struggling and enduring all the hardships that either man or beast ever endured in our endeavor to get over the mountain before the lakes and the Yukon river freeze up. “It is estimated that there are about 7,000 people on this and the Dyea trails and camped where the ships landed them on the beach. Many are giving up in de- spair. Many are going back, and will try the Dyea route; others are going into win- ter quarters. We have had one continuous storm for about three weeks—mostly raii: and hail. Very few have been through to Lake Bennett. The mountains are very steep and rocky; the flat places are ail beggy. We have now stopped to blast cut rocks and corduroy bogs. Many horses have been killed. It is impossible to hire packing done over this trail. Those wno are hiring are paying from 50 to 60 cents per pound. Trail Misrepresented by Sharks. “This trail has been greatly misrepre- sented by the sharks and real estate boom- ers who are building and booing a town at Skaguay, back. They reported a pass- able trail open for horses before I left Seattle, which caused almost everybody coming to ship their outfits this way. I only know of two parties that have been over thig trail to the lakes yet, and we who are on the way are contributing to have the trail made. My advice to all who an- ticipate going to the Klondike is not to come this route. “They say there will be a famine in Daw- son unless the parties going in take plenty of provisions. So I have made up my mind to take plenty with me, and I will be O. K. for the next year, even if I am compelled to go.into winter quarters before reaching my destination.” ; One ; ” Woman’s ( Word. > “consider Ayer’s Pills the best in the World."—Mrs. A. C.

Be Celebrated by the Jesuits—Police Discover Live Mass W Baby in the Bushes. The formal opering of Georgetown Uni- versity will take place Wednesday morn- ing at 9 o'clock sharp, the 107th annual exercises starting with a mass of the Holy Ghost, a so!emn high event, which will be attended by all of the students who are at the school and the entire faculty. The mass will be celebrated by the Jesuits of the university, during which the Veni Creator will be sung. The sermon for the occasion will be delivered by Rev. Francis X. Mulvaney, 8. J., assistant pastor of Trinity Catholic Church and formerly one of the professors of the institution. These services will be held in the Dahlgren Me- morial Chapel, and at the conclusion the scholars will assemble in Gaston Memorial Hall, where the marks of the past year will be made and the students assigned to their respective class rooms for the year. ‘The afternoon will be spent in a short session of the different classes, in which the new students will become acquainted with their future teachers, and with the older scholars. By Friday it is expected the university will be down to good hard work for the year. The students have been returnirg to the school for several days past, commencing the latter part of last week. Quite a number came in to- day, and more are expected to show up during tomorrow. The sses this year will be larger than last year, and it is ex- pected that the boys will make a far bet- ter showing in the athletic line. Attempt to Strangle a Baby. Policeman Jack Maher found a live col- ored baby yesterday morning about 5 o'clock in the bushes at 27th and Q street: on the property of Samuel Rittenhouse. The child was several weeks old, and weighed about [2 pourds,being nearly white in coler. The policeman was attracted by the sounds of the infant's crying, but he was some time in locating it. The baby had evidently been in its place for four or five hours, end had a white rag tted rather tightly around its throat, which gave the impression that an attempt had been made to strangle it. The patrol wagon conveyed it to the new asylum at 1135 9th street, where it was given care and attention. Alarm of Fire. The engine company responded yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock to a local alarm of fire on the dump in the rear of 1 34th street. The fire had been burning for some time and was threatening the fences of the neighborhood when the fire department was asked to attach a hose to a hydrant and stop its progress. The Wrong Man. William Proctor, colored, aged nineteen, was arrested Saturday evening in the third precinct by Policeman Connor on sus- picion of being the individual who broke into the stores of Messrs. Woody and Nu- gent some time Friday morning. When the prisoner was seen by Policeman Harrison, who chazed the robber, he was not identi- fied and was immediately released. Brief Notes. Mr. John Heenan of this place has been appointed trustee of the estate of Richard J. Corcoran, under a bond of’ $10,0v0. The parochial school of Trinity Church resumed its sessions for the season this morning. A number of private kindergar- ten schools in this section also commenced the school term today. —-+_— ASSAULTED HIS FATHER. Daricl Williams Convicted of an At- tempt to Commit Murder. Daniel Williams, colored, was today held in $1,000 bail for the action of the grand jury for yesterday assaulting his father, Marshall Williams, with intent to kill him. The testimony was that Daniel told his mother and other relatives that he intended to kill his father, because, as he alleged, his father drove his brother, Marshall, to whom he was greatly attached, to commit suicide a few days ago. , Daniel waited about his father’s house, 1434 Madison street, most of yesterday, for the return of his father, -who had gone away early. Becoming tired the boy left the house and waited on the street. the father drew near enough, the boy struck his father with a heavy cane, and ‘tempted to cut him with a knife. A tremendous excitement was occasioned by the attack, and while the crowd was col- lecting Daniel escaped. Later, however, he was arrested by Officer ts. BELLIGERENCY Spanish Exchange Prisoners With Cubans at Victoria de las Tunas. RECOGNIZED Efforts to Be Made to Have President McKinley Take Action on the Absorbing Subject. The capture of the important strategic Pcsition of the fortified town Victoria de las Tunas, in the province of Santiago de Cuba, by the Cuban revolutionary forces last week may have a very material effect ; upon the future policy of the United States government regarding the Cuban war. The news sent out from Havana last Friday after close scrutiny by the Spanish censors of the press and telegraph contained an of- ficial copy of the armeuncement of the fail of the town, made by Gen. Luque to Cap- tain General Weyler: It was in part as follows: “On September 5 the garrison of Victoria de las Tunas surrendered to the rebels, who have since returned, in exchange for an equal number, the military command- ant, three officers and seventy-five sol- diers,” The-simportance of this announcement Was at once apparent to those familiar with the principles cf military law. It meant to them a positive recognition on the Part of the official representatives of Spain of the belligerency of the Cuban revolu- tionists by the fact that prisoners had been exchanged between the combatants. The diScussion over the matter during the past two or three days has been thoughtful and has been participated in by scme of the most distinguished military men in this country. Infivential friends of Cuba will call the matter to the attention of President McKinley immediately upon is return, and urge him to accentuate tt official course of Spain in thus recognizi: the beliigerency of the insurgents by ad- ding to it the recognition by the United States, —+e+_____ SAMPLE OF JUSTICE. Unusual Proceedings in a Subordinate Court of Alexandria County, Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. GLENCARLYN, Va., September 13, 1897. As a sequel to the escape of two con- victéd men, while they were being escorted to the county jail at Alexandria several weeks ago, as published in The Star at the time, when Officer Gaines of Rosslyn was roughly handled, several startling facts have developed, which give promise of a most interesting and sensational develop- ment in Alexandria .county justice. It is understood that Turner, who is al- leged to have furnished the butcher knife, which, in the hands of the desperate Har- ris, so nearly closed the earthly career of Constable Gaines, was recently captured at his home, near Queen City, by Special Offi- cer Burke, and immediately carried before Justice Holmes, a colored magistrate of the county, residing on Johnson’s Hill. ‘The case was at onte opened before his honor, who, it is stated, was cn friendly terms with the defendant. In the absence of witnesses for the commonwealth, a post- ronement was ordered by the court, to give the authorities an opportunity to prepare their case. It is stated as a remarkable fact that neither the trial justice, the officer who made the arrest, nor any one of those con- nected with the court considered it neces- sary or expedient to notify the witnesses at Rosslyn of the arrest of Turner. In vontinuing the case for a short time his honor fixed the bond at $300, and, it is said, accepted the merbal statement of the bondsman for the d dantes to-his finan- cial responsibility. Several daysiater, up- on the expiration pf; the time: allowed by the court, Turner presentedhimself before the justice and demanded: through his attorney, an immediate trial or his re- lease. Ei 2 As no representative ofithe common- Wealth was present,: and the witnesses in the case knew nothing of the proceedings, Holmes at once released the defendant, stating that any meonvenignce caused by the case was greatly regretted by the court. Upon securing his:release Turner quickly disappeared from hjs usual haunts, and, notwithstanding the fact, that Sheriff Palmer, armed witha second warrant for his arrest, issued by Justici llers of Ross- lyn, has been on he hunt ar him for sev- eral days past, it so fr proved to be impossible to locateshim. 2 Accompanied by..a -Star. reporter, the ‘Rosslyn justice paid.a visit to Mr. John- son, attorney for Alexandria county, dur- ing which an interesting RESORT TO ANARCHY Incendiary Advice Given at Social Democracy Meeting in Chicago. SPEAKERS ADVOCATE TORCH AND KNIFE Shooting of the Pennsylvania Strik- ers Denounced in Bitter Terms. ACTION OF VARIOUS UNIONS ——_+—___ CHICAGO, September 13.—Meetings of the various branches of the newly erga ized Social Democracy were held last ht to discuss the recent Hazleton, Pa., trag- edy, and some decidedly lurid language was indulged in by the speakers. Resolu- tions were passed by Branch No. 2, which contained the following=*‘The blood of an idle and useless aristocracy is the most ecnvenient medium fer nourishing the tree of liberty. ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ For every miner killed and weunded a millionaire should be treated in the same manner. The millionaire class is responsible for the slaughter of September 10, and we regard the torch as the mo: successful weapon tc wield against them. Fitzgerald Murphy, president of Branch No. 2, made a speech, in which he said: “The miners should carry arms, and use them, too. The time has come to meet ferce with force. I should have told them to shoot to kill. I would kill twenty mil- lionaires today.” Strong condemnatory resolutions were also passed by Branch No. 1, and some fiery speeches made. T. P. Quinn said: “I will not carry a musket; I will carry a torch and a knife, and I will carry both as far as I can.” Leroy M. Goodwin, L. V. Debs’ right-hand man and a director of the national board of the Social Democracy, in the course of a speech, said: “Il would attack property with the torch; I would destroy their fine pal- aces. Let us rebel when men are shot down as they were in Pennsylvania.” Several indignation meetings were held in the Polish quarter, and resolutions pass- ed condemning the shooting of the Huzle- ton miners and appealing to the United States government for protection. MASS MEETING AT SHENANDOAH. Resolations Passed Condemning the Shooting at Hazleton. SHENANDOAH, Pa., September 13. mass meeting of about 4,000 Lithuanians, Poles, Hungarians and Slavonians held on the grounds of the Lithuanian Church here last night to take action om the Lat- timer shooting. Rev. Peter Abromaiiis of the Lithuanian Church presided, and M. M. Burke was present as specially engaged counsel to operate in behalf*of the local organizations in the prosecution of Sheriff Martin and his deputies. lev. J. Milukas, curate of the Lithuanian Church, and Rev. Comelius Larrisin of the Greek Catholic Church, together with a number of representative citizens of the respective nationalities, made addresses. Resolutions were adopted condemning the course of Sheriff Martin and his deputies, sympathizing with the families of the vic- tims, and also pledging moral and financial surport in the prosecution of Sheriff Mar- tin and his deputies. It was also decided that special high requiem mags should be celebrated in the Polish, Lithuanian, Greek Catholic and Slavonic churches today for the souls of the victims. One of the Lithuanian speak- ers attempted during the meeting to inject political sentiments aimed at the republican administration, but the assemblage forced him to desist by its protests. HOGAN RECEIVES A REBUKE. » One of Debs’ Organizers Called Down in Denver. DENVER, Col., September 13.—At a mass meeting last night, under the auspices of the Painters and Decorators’ Union, to Protest against government by injuuction, J. R. Hogan, organizer for Debs’ Social Democracy in this district, created a sensa- tion by saying: ‘In this country everything is for sale, from a man’s conscience to a woman's virtue.” Rev. T. H. Malone, onc of the previous speakers, entered an em- Phatic protest against the statement and left the hall, followed by ex-Congressman Lafe Pence and a majority of the audience. Mr. Hogan then delivered a violent tirade against Father Malone. MORE CONSERVATIVE AT ST. LOUIS. Trades Unions There Declare Against Anarchy, While Cenxuring Shooting. ST. LOUIS, Mo., September 13.—At the regular monthly meeting of the St. Louis trades and labor unions, while most of the speakers held that the men shot down at Lattimer was nothing less than murder, they called upon organized labor to show tke world by its dispassionate action that it does not favor anarchy and intends to re- spect the laws as long as the laws give them aftiy protection whatever. Resolutions were adopted reviewing the strike and condemning as murder the shoo:- ing ot miners at Lattimer, Pa.; “recom- mending the Chicago labor convention to be held September 27 to take such ac in this matter as to them may seem wise,’ and “Pledging our support to any move- ment tending to do away with a system that makes such slaughter of human beings possible.” JOINED WITH ANARCHISTS. Action of New York Labor Union Over Hazleton Affair. From the New York World of Today. The Central Labor Union, usually the most conservative of bodies, cut loose from all its traditions yesterday in its indigna- tion over the shooting of striking miners in Lattimer, Pa. Temperate resolutions- were adopted denouncing Sheriff Martin, but the talk which accompanied them was of the mcst radical description. = As a climax the union gave a hearing to a committee of anarchists of the group of which Emma Goldman is the leader, and appointed a committee to co-operate with them in getting up a mass meeting in Union Square tc denounce the killing, and, inci- dentally, all law and government. The few men who were not swept away by the ex- citement and who pointed out the provable results of the association with the anur- chists were howled down when they at- tempted to get a héaring. The anarchist committee, which consisted of John Kelly, J. H.. Smith and A. Press, purported to come from the “New York Debating Club.” Some of the delegates, thinking they were politicians, wanted to refuse them admittance, and when it was learned that they were anarchists a few frotested, but they were swept aside by a speech by John F. Maher of the Liberty Dawn Association of Coach Drivers, in which he said: “Nothing will make anarchists quicker than what happened last Friday. I am no anarchist, but I would not be surprised it there were 20,000 more in New York than or last Friday. What good will resolutioas do? Will any governor of any state insti- tote ae Uletee one that will result in Funishing anybody?” ~ David Hains of the Cigarmakers’ Union followed him. “I welcome any man,” he “be he anarchist or not, who will stand up and say a word for the and in protest against wholesale murder.” — id: “We declaring to the world that the blood cf otbers than wo) will be shed if this sort of thing goes on.” < INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

The death at the District jail this morn- ing of Charles Johnson, a young colored man, ended a sad career and removed from exrth one against whom there was a charge of burglary. The man made no de- nial of the serious charge against him, and it was evident, from his conduct and actions, that he committed the offense in order that he might end his life where he would have a few, at least, of the com- fcrts of life during his last days on earth. About the middle of last month he went one night to the building of the National Mortar Company, in South Washington, and effected an entrance by forcing open a window. Once inside he cleaned out the office of a few articles of wearing apparel and then from the stable he took a few gollars’ werth of feed. The proceeds of the robbery he sold for a small amount, and then, before he could get the benefit of what little he got in this way, he went to Freednian’s Hospital and was admitted there without any trouble. When the case was Investigated by Detective Muller, who was then an officer in the fourth precinct, he soon fixed the crime upon Johnson, but delayed the arrest for the reason that the latler was in the hospital. About the 20th of the month he was told by Dr. Williams that Johnson was able to leave the hospitel, and then he placed him under arrest and had shim transferred frcm the hospital to the jail, the accused having been committed to the latter place by one of the judges of the Police Court.

When the prisoner reached jail the 2ist of last month he was a very sick man in the opinion of the jail officials and the Prisoners, and he soon went under the care of the prison physician. So sick did he soon become that it was necessary to keep him under treatment all the time, and another prisoner, designated to acz as nurse, was kept in his cell with him. The prisoner selected for this work was a colored man named John Jones, who is serving a sentence for robbing’ graves. He proved a valuable nurse, and soon re~ ported the patient to be so sick that it Was necessary to call in the doctor several times a day, which he proceeded to do. Yesterday a sudder. change toYok place in his condition, and his death occurred about 2 o’clcck this morning. His Admissions.
