Yesterday afternoon Inspector Mattingly had an investigation made of the case, with the result stated in yesterday's Star. The officer learned of the peculiar conduct of Leo during the night previous to his killing, but founa nothing to convince him that he had been assaulted prior to his being struck by a railroad engine. It is the officer’s belief that Leo’s mind was affected. SSE ORE Gonzaga College Alumni.

Regarding th SI the Upper Yukon Not Uthnimous —Gen. Merriam’s Report. \WSON tion on Acting Secretary Meiklejohn has received @ report from Gen. Merriam, commanding Department Columbia at Vancouver bar- racks, ‘Washington, in which he says: “Referring to report of Major Rucker, dated Dyea, January 4, I have deemed it best to postpone shipment: of relief expe- dition, for which transportation had been secured on 8. 8. Oregon to sail from Port- land on the 23d instant, and to secure like space on the Elder, expected to sail about February 1. This will land the expedition at head of Lynn canal at least a week before the date now fixed by the agent of the Snow and Ice Transportation Company for receiving freight there for shipment to Dewson. Unless later reports from Major Rucker shall change the situation, it is my intention to divide the expedition so as to send a portion of the supplies forward by the contractor’s trains, and the.balance by our tandem sleds to first depot at Bennet, 2nd a second depot at foot of Lake Le- barge, prepared to build boats at that point should the river below that point be found still open, with no practicable pertage, as is now reported by officers of northwest police. “By this process the river expedition should at least float down to Dawson with the ice expected to move by or before May 1, and should the situation at the mines be then desperate, men and dogs with sledges could take forward some supplies on the ice, which is reported to be in good condi- tion below the mouth of the Hootalinqua. The remaining distance to Dawson is about 400 miles. I have not yet been able to de- termine whether reindeer moss is avail- able on either of these routes or any route in Alaska. Probably more information on this subject can be found in some depart- ments in Washington than can be gathered here, as very few people In Alaska or fo- miliar with its trails are able to answer this question. “Opinions are not quite unanimous on the food conditions at Dawson. The fol- lcwing from_a private letter written by Rev. 8. H. Young, Presbyterian mission- ary, dated at Dawson, December 1, has been furnished me by J. T. Ross of Port- land, and differs from the opinions gener- ally expressed by persons recently arriv- ing on the coast, both as to food supply and good order: “The strife for something to eat is al- ready distressing. Thieving is frequent, and no man’s cache is safe when he is away from it. The suffering for want of fcod is likely to be very great before spring. When we got here short of sup- plies we found ficur selling at from $1.25 to $1.50 per pound, and other things in pro- pertion, and not to be had at all at the stores. Only sugar could be bought, and that soon ran out.’ “A report from Capt. Ray, if one could be received at this time, would probably solve all questions on this point. He is likely under his directions to report direct to the War Department.” A Description of Dawson. The condition of affaits at’ Dawson in September at the close of Havigation is revealed in a report to tke ommissioner of labor by S. C. Dunham, the expert of the labor department, séht there for the Purpose of making an investigation. The report is dated Dawson,’ Septeinber 24 last, and is as follows: : “Dawson lies in an ingdnceivably boggy swamp along the river, extending up and down the stream about) three miles and beck to the hills half a'mile'more. It is very crude. Such Rouscm is there are con- sist of logs, with mud {oofs; There cre probably 150 or 200 of ‘these’ and 200 or 300 terts. The present Bi jon is about 1,000, but constantly iB. On ac- count of the bad drainage, typhoid fever rages, and the Sisters’ Hospital fs full of Fatients. Last night, for, the first ttme this season, the surface of the ground froze, and it is said that with the approach of cold weather the fever Will disappear; but God help the place next summer. “The reports in regard to the mortality here, however, are greatly overstated. The two grcat commercial companies have fine, large buildings, each haying expended probably $100,000 this summer in the con- struction of ‘stores and warehouses; but their warehouses are woefully empty. The Alaska Commercial Company has thou- sands of tons of provisions in its ware- hcuses, but they are sold. The only article in the way of food that can be bought to- day is canned corn. Flour is quoted at $12 a hundred, but none can be had at any price. Only three steamers have arrived this summer, although six more are ex- pected daily. The Excelsior, which left San Francisco July 28, has not been heard from, and she is cne of the main stand- bys. If the steamers arrive the situation will be somewhat relieved; if they do not reach here there will be wholesale starva- tion, as the visible supply of food will not last till March. To aggravate the situation most of those coming down the river are coming in with scanty supplies. (Steamers referred to never arrived.) “Prices are abnormally high, of course. Good beefsteak (that is, good ‘for here) is $1 per pound; moose meat and mutton, 75 cents to $1, when they can be had at ail. The condition will be relieved somewhat by the arrival soon from up river of 200 head of cattle and 1,600 head of sheep. which are being brought down on rafts, having been driven in over the Dalton and Dyea trails. Several restaurants have a_sign something like this on the door: ‘Closed till next boat arrives. No grub.’” The War Department has decided that it will require a umber of cars for. the transportation of the reindeer that are coming to New York from Norway to the Pacific const. In answer to inquiries from the railroad authorities, the number has been fixed at twenty-five stock cars, six box cars for forage, two baggage cars for cooking and dining, and two tourists’ sleep- ers for attendants, probably seventy-five in number, who must be transported free. —_—___e.—___ CONDENSED LOCALS.
