The purchase of Alaska was re- garded somewhat as acquiring “a pig in a poke” at a pretty stiff price, but the pig is turning out to be a very promising shoat. Three young men from Ionia, Mich., started for Alaska, but upon arriving in Chicago the one with all the money got “lost,” and the other two went home, and sent the sheriff to find the missing member of the party. The sheriff was successful, but the boys for various reasons will likely not “start out” again till the dandelions bloom.

The liberality ig widely emphasized if the Exdarsion plan {nvoive the hiring of special train and provsion for amuse- ments on a large sgale, But what shall be said of an owting which gives delight to\ten thousand people asso- ciated as employes and families with a single firm; of the sixteen special trains; of a chartering of all the best hotels and restaurants in a town; of a wholesale securing of pleasure steam- ers, bathing machines, bands and the like? That is the story in brief of a recent outing in England, planned and paid for by a single firm. Who would be unwise enough to say the firm made a poor investment? A return in better work, more cheerful feelings, lively gratitude, is always the sequel of such an outlay. The rate of interest is never the same in the western states that it is in the eastern, the difference ranging from four to eight per cent. Between East Canada and West Canada the rate varies only one or two per cent. The American Agriculturist suggests that this may be due to the flexibility of our neighbors’ banking system, which, like that of Scotland, makes generous pro- vision for “branch banks.” For in- stance, in 1895, the thirty-eight banks of Canada reported more than five hun- dred branches, located in two hundred and eighty-seven cities and towns— some of them pretty small towns. By such branches the surplus saving east and the expanding, energetic west is brought together, and the farmer who wants a loan is spared a good deal of delay, red tape and expense. Doxbt- less the Canadian method has its short- comings, like others, but it is easy to agree with the Agriculturist’s chief conclusion, that since American cities are already well supplied with banks of discount, “the needs of the country districts may be mainly considered in this connection.” More than a century ago Horace Wal- pole wrote: “How unfortunate that lit- tle countries should retain a spirit of independence, which they have not the strength to preserve, and that great nations who might throw it off court the yoke.” Thus he anticipated the Greece and Germany of today.

Washington, Sept. 17. — Reports reaching the marine hospital service from officials in Louisiana and Missis- sippi leave no further doubt.that yel- low fever exists at several points. Surgeon General Wyman stated this positively, although he feels that the precautionary steps taken are keeping the disease well within bounds. Late last night he received a dispatch from Dr. Murray stating that he and Dr. Carter had seen three yellow fever cases at Biloxi. Biloxi is appealing for medicine, and the situation in the town is apparent- ly growing worse. Miss Lewis, in the city limits, was declared to have black vomit after Dr. Hackett had made a microscopic examination. Frank Em- ery, son of the Methodist preacher there, was reported down with yellow fever. The house and inmates are quarantined and the yellow flag is flying. Mayor Howard has issued or- ders that the flag should be displayed where yellow fever is found, and a }> correspondent telegraphs that the yel- low fever flag is now conspicuous in Biloxi. Mayor Howard is determined that all persons shall promptly report cases under service penalties for fail- ure. Now that the worst is known it is desired that no facts shall be con- cealed. =o New Orleans, Sept. 11. — The an- nouncement of twelve suspicious cases on one square in the city and that three cases had developed since the death of a young lady who had come from Ocean Springs, created a large measure of alarm in the public mind early in the day, but this was allayed when the facts were known. It de- veloped that a man had died as the re- sult of excessive dissipation instead of yellow fever as reported in the very square in which the suspicious cases had been found. At nightfall all re- ports received by Dr. Olliphant were so favorable that renewed confidence was infused in the officials of the board. Just before the board met Dr. Olliphant said to a reporter of the As- sociated Pres “There is a marked improvement in the situation in the state. I may state unofficially that all the patients in the St. Claude street square are better. I have not re- ceived a report from the board of ex- perts but I have learned from our in- spector who is assigned to the prem- ises, that apparently none of the pa- tients are at present in danger.” Surgeon Murray, of the marine hos- pital service, stated that Ocean Springs from now on would be the of- ficial headquarters for the entire gulf éoast marine hospital service, and the camp of detention will be at Fontain- bleau, three miles from the gulf. Those who are taken to the camp will be held nominal priscuers for ten days, and if, at the expiration of that time they show no signs of affliction they will be provided with government health certificates and permitted to go wherever they please. One hundred and forty people, white and black, in Ocean Springs are in distress, many being in extreme need of medicine and provisions. Not a morsel of focd or an ounce of medicine has been given to any one except by private citizess who already have been heavily taxed. The fever has not spread west be- yond Biloxi. The most effective quar- antine measures are in force and if the disease is not held in check at Biloxi and Ocean Springs and Scranton it will not be becavse the authorities have lacked in vigilance. BLOOD ON THE KNIFE. in the Luetgert Trial So Testify. Chicago, Sept. 11.—There was con- siderable progress in the Luetgert trial yesterday, particularly during the af- ternoon session. The day was devoted to the hearing of expert testimony. It was shown that the matter collected in the crevicess of the pocket knife given by the alleged murderer to his former sweetheart, Mrs, Feldt, on the evening of his arrest, consisted of blood and particles of muscle tissue. One fact the state continuously at- tempted to establish, namely, that the particles of bone, flesh and organic matter taken from the vat and con- necting sluice, had at one time been portions of a human body, but though their experts readily assented to the proposition that the stuff resembled the flesh and bone of the human ani- mal, they have refused to deny upon cross-examination that they bore an equal resemblence to the flesh and bone of any other warm blooded ani- mal who eats similar food. Experts Difficulties Over Finances. Cape Town, Sept. 11.—The financial situation at Johannesburg, Transvaal republic, is critical and the local au- thorities are urging the government to adopt prompt measures of relief. One of the leading German firms has resolved to suspend all developments outside of its mining properties. The government of the Transvaal has con- sented to receive a commercial depu- tation which will set forth the situa- tion in detail. Murdered’s Roy’s Father Indicted. Brainerd, Minn., Sept. 11.—The work of the grand jury has been finished. Additional indictments returned were against Jacob Kirsh, grand larceny; David Maxwell, murder. The latter case grows out of the killing of Willie Maxwell in February last, and for which Mrs. Nellie Frayer is serving a life sentence in Stillwater. She is in Brainerd to give testimony against the father of the murdered boy, whose body was burned up in the barn after he was killed. 1 INSURGENTS TAKE A TRICK. | The Cubans Capture an Important Town, Causing Ccusterration at Madrid, Madrid, Sept. 11. — News received here of the capture by the Cuban in- surgents of the town of Victoria de las ‘Tunes, Province of Santiago de Cuba, has caused great excitement. The cabinet ministers have been suin- moned to meet in order to consider the situation. The newspapers of the city, commenting on the subject condemn Capt. Gen. Weyler. ‘The lmparciai says that Gen. Jooveller was removed from his command for a similar dis- aster in 1876. It is pointed out that the strategical position of Victoria de las Tunes is important. The govern- ment has decided to act vigorously and to immediately dispatch further rein- forcements to Cuban if that is neces- sary. * estoy CAPTURED BY CUBANS, Garrison of Victoria de. las Lunas Surrenders to the Rebels. Hevana, Sept. 11—Gen. Luque has sent the following dispatch from Hol- guin, Santiago de Cuba, to Gen. Wey- Jey: “On Sept. 5 the garrison of Vic- toria de las Lunas surrendered to the rebels, who have since returned, in exchange for an equal number, the military commander, three officers and seventy-five soldiers. Tbe latter have been placed under arrest and will be called upon to prove that they com- plied with the military regulations of the garrison. Simultaneously two cél- umns of 800 men, assisted by war- ships, engaged the insurrectionists at Tasajeras la Juba, Floras la Escondi- da and Loma @e las Agizes, destroying the towns of Tasajeras and Bijara, which were in the hands of the enemy. The troops also captured a firearms factory at Iieliete. During this en- gagement ferty-seven of the enemy were killed.” upc Weyler Caled Upon to Explain. Madrid, Sept. 11— The minister of war has cabled Capt. Gen. Weyler for an explanation regarding the capture by the insurgents of Victoria de las Tunas, which is defended by seven forts, having two Krupp guns among their armaments. —o— Madrid, Sept. 11—Capt. Gen. Wey- ler, telegraphing his reply to the cable- gram of the minister of war, asking him for an explanation of the capture of Victoria de las Tunas, says in sub- stance that un expedition will be im- mediately dispatched to recover the position. —o— Farms Destrcyed. Havana, Sept. 11—Gen. Luque tele- graphed a few days since that he had destroyed 1,500 farms of the insur- gents during recent engagements which his trcops have had with the enemy. It is announced. from the Spanish headquarters that during the last ten d: the insurgents have lost 275 men killed, among them being three colonels and twelve officers of lower rank. ‘The report adds that during the same period 487 insurgents, including a colonel, have surrendered. The official statement is that the loss of the Spanish forces during this same period was eleven killed and six of- ficers and eighty-three soldiers wound- ed. Spain's Atul Muddle.

Hazelton, Pa., Sept. 11.—The strike situation reached a terrible crisis 0D* the outskirts of Latimer when @ of deputy sheriffs fired into an in- furiated mob of miners. The men fell like so many sheep, and the excite-- ment since has been so intense that no accurate figures of the dead and wounded can be obtained. Reports run from fifteen to twenty-odd killed and forty or more wounded. One man counted thirteen corpses. Four cther bodies lie in the mountains be- tween Latimer and Harleigh. Those who were not injured carried their dead and wounded friends into the woods and estimate is baffled. + Phe strikers left Hazleton at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon, announcing their intention to go to Latimer, AS soon as this became known a band of deputies was loaded on a trolley car- and went whirling across the moun- tain to the scene where the bloody conflict followed. After reaching Latimer they left the car and formed into three companies under Thomas Hall, E. A. Hess and Samuel B. Prince. They drew up in line at the edge of the village, with a fence and line of houses in their rear. Sheriff Martin was in entire command and stood in the front of the line until the strikers approached. They were seen» coming across the ridge and Martin: went out to meet them. The men drew up suddenly and listened in. silence until he had once more read the riot act. This finished, a low mut- tering arose among the foreigners and there was a slight movement forward. Perceiving this the sheriff stepped to- ward them and in a determined tone forbade advance. Some one struck the sheriff and the next moment there was a command to the deputies to fire. The guns of the deputies instantly belched forth a terrible volley. The report seemed to shake the very moun- tains and a cry of dismay went up from the people. The strikers were taken entirely by surprise, and as the at mon toppled and fell over each other, those who remained unhurt stam- peded. ‘The men went down before the storm of bullets like ten pins, and the groans of the dying and wounded filled the air, The excitement that followed was simply indeseribab>. The deputies seemed to be terrg- stricken at the deadly execution i: their guns, and seeing the living strikers fleeing like wild and others dropping to the earth, they went to the aid of the unfortunates whom they had brought down. pabied Crass MILITIA ORDERED OUT. Third Brigade Ordered to Hazieton to Quell Lawlessness, Harrisburg, Sept. 11.—Goy. Hastings has ordered out the Third brigade, of which Gen. Gobin is commander, and instructed n. Schall to hold the First brigade in readiness. The troops will raobilize at Hazelton and are expected to be on the scene in a .few hours.. Capt, A. R. Paxton, U. 8S. As attached to thé national guard, has gone te Hazelton by direction of the governor. Supt. Creighton, of the Middle division of the Pennsylyania railroad, was called into consultation at the executive mansion and has ar- ranged for the speedy transportation of the soldiers. The governor received a copy of res- olutions adopted at a mass meeting at Hazelton urging the sheriff of Luzerne county to at oncé ask the executive for protection to life and property. The resolutions are signed by Alvin Markle and other prominent citizens of Hazelton. Cea, THE MINERS’ CONVENTION. A Substitute Resolution Under Con- & sideration, Columbus, Sept. 11.— The National Miners’ convention adjourned until to- day, when a settlement of the strike will be definitely determined. At the time of adjournment a substitute res- olution, which the miners’ officials confidently believe will be adopted, was under discussion. Two previous resolutions providing for an accept- ance of the Pittsburg operators’ prop- ositions were defeated because the Illinois, Indiana and West Virginia miners did not think their interests were sufficiently protected. The sub- stitute resolution, it is claimed by the officials, gives the miners of these states all the protection they could reasonably ask, since it provides for a continuation of the strike wherever the operators refuse to grant the ad- vance to their miners. However, the officials are finding it extremely dif- ficult to convince the delegates op- posed to the settlement that they are in the wrong. Another Chance for Corbett.
