OFT ry of War, despite his many dutles in connection with the war, has lost sight of Alaska, haying been posted by Major General Merriam, as been In touch with news sources remembered that the general had charge of the work of Alaskan re- lief last winter, by direction of the Sec- retary of War, and was authorized in addition to send exploring parties of sol- diers through unknown portions of the territory to bring back information con- cerning the country. These parties are now at work in varfous parts of Alaska, and are making their reports as oppor- tunity offers. Recently General Merriam heard from Captain Abercrombie, in | charge of one of the parties on Copper | River, the captain Joporting that there were hundreds of estitute men along the Copper River, and that something | would have to bé dome for their relief, | or they might starve. This report was, in turn, forwarded to Washington for th consideration - of Secretary Alger. It should be stated that the Secretary still has at his disposal over $100,000 of the $200,000 appropriated by Congress last year to relieve the wsiress in Dawson. This money {s now available for use without further warrant of Congress. It will be spent, in so far as necessary, for the re- liet and military exepdition to Fort Yu- on. eneral Merriam will quickly determine which battery will be sent to Alaska, baving now some choice in the matter, owing to the apparent ending of the war. It is probable that the troops will be dis< patched within a week. Speaking on this subject yesterday, the general remarked: “It is now late In the season and we will be obliged to move with all possible | dispatch in order to get the battery up | to Fort Yukon before the river freezes over. It will be a tight squeeze, at b There will be no parleying done at Michael with steamboat owners. If neces- sary the United States army officer in charge will undoubtedly seize all of the available transportation itles. He will take as large a quantity of supplies up the stream as possible. It is the in- tention to make Fort Yukon the base of operations. The War Department does ot intend to be caught unprepared up in Alaska, as you can juaze from these preparations. It {s very much feared that_serious disturbances may occur in the Yukon Valley next winter. The trans- portation companies have utterly failed to get in the necessary quantity of sup- lies for the multitude of people there. cmething has to be done and done af once.” “How about the relfef of the miners re- ported to be suffering on Copper River?” was asked. ““Those men can easily be reathed,” re- | sponded the general. “They are virfually on the seacoast. None of them are more than a hundred miles or so from salt water. If the department sees fit to send relief to them it can be easily done in a week or two of time. I do net know how their cases will be regarded. It is a guestion whether the Government s un- der obiigatiops to send ships to a_ far away region to bring back several thou- sand people who went there with their eves open and who knew of the risks they incurred. It may be that tha duty of tne Government is limited to supplying those people with the necessary food to keep them from starving where they are.

LAID AT REST WITH LITTLE CEREMONY FUNERAL OF ADOLPH SUTRO YESTERDAY. Services Were Held at His Old Home on the Ocean Shore and Were Devoid of Display. The funeral services over the body of Adolph Sutro were of the most unosten- tatious character. His remalns, inclosed in a plain casket, had been conveyed to his old home, Sutro Heights, overlooking the ocean, whose troubled waters seemed to chant a funeral requiem as-they un- ceasingly dashed against the rocks in unison with the sighing of the trees that were stirred by the gente breeze. From 8 to 10 o’cloc] yesterdaiy morning the remains lay in state in Mr. Sutro’s favorite room to the left of the hallway, and his features were viewed by all who desired. A pall of violets rested upon the casket, and everywhere about the room were humerous beautiful floral tributes from relatives and friends. At 10 o'clock the doors of the house were clogsed to the public, the funeral services then being held in private, only the members of the family and a few of Mr. Sutro’s most intimate friends being resent. The relatives in attendance were Y)r, George Merritt, Mrs. Merritt, P. A, r. W. Winterberg and family, Mrs. B. F.

The body was conveyed to the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery, where it was cremated.

Every man of the detail responded save Potter. Lieu- tenant Smith called his first sergeant and demanded to know if the corporal was aboard the steamer. He was Informed that the gay corporal had not put in an appearance. At midnight a second roll- | call was held. Again there was no sign of Corporal Potter. Lieutenant Smith called on Lieutenant Strevell, the adjutant of ‘the regifent, | and laid the matter before him, asking | his advice as to the course to pursue In the matter. Lieutenant Strevell suggest- ed that the proper punishment for the corporal would be a few nighfs in the guardhouse during the trip to Honolulu. At half-past 10 another effort was made | to determine whether the corporal had | boarded the vessel. Sergeant Walsh of D Company, who went In search of the nephew of the famous New York Bishop, | reported that the young man was no- | where to be found. All had given up | hopes of his putting in an appearance | by 1 o'clock, when the last few visitors on the vessel bade good-by to their friends and left the wharf. A few minutes afterward, however, there was a loud rumbling of wheels, fol- lowed by a peal of boisterous laughter. The gates leading to Pier 7 opened and closed with a bang and a carriage wheeled alongside the gangplank leading on board the vessel. When the door of the hack was opened Corporal Potter, fol- lowed by Clem Tobin and a Miss Evans, stepped out of the carriage. The trio were laughing and talking In a jocular manner. Mr. Tobin walked aboard the vessel, leaving Corporal Potter and the mysterious Miss Evans in a heated con- troversy on the pler. Lieutenants Smith and . Strevell were standing aboard the vessel at the head of the gang-plank. They watched the dra- matic parting of Corporal Potter and his lady friend with manifest disgust. Turn- ing to an orderly, Lieutenant Smith said, “Sir, a man in uniform has just reached here In a carrfage with a woman. Please order him on board at once.” The orderly walked down the gang- plank, and & moment later marched up the gang-plank in the wake of Corporal Potter. The woman followed weeping.

Lieutenant Smith asked him to read the orders which had been given him. Potter refused to do so and was immedi- ately placed under arrest. When Potter was taken below young Tobin approached Lieutenant Strevell and requested permission to talk with him. The request was refused. The woman then begged the officer’s premission to say a farewell word. Her plea was in vain. Potter was taken below and shown an old straw mattress in the hold of the vessel near the boilers. Lieutenant Smith gave orders that this was to be his couch until Honolulu was reached. After being placed under arrest Potter was sullen and disagreeable. He tried to| make trouble for every one necar him. He was sent to Honolulu in hopes that the First New York would avoid the un- enviable notoriety that his escapades have brought upon the regiment.

Well, I'm sure I don't know! That's a new question,” laughed Senator Cullom, when approached on the subject of Hawaii vesterday. “We do not know that the Hawailans will vote in general electfons for a while. People are already asking whether the islands will constitute a State or a Territory. As a member of the Hawailan Commission I cannot say what will be done yet—wnether the rela- tion will be similar to that of an English colony to the mother country or a closer one. However, there will probably be lo- cal elections and I suppose the boys will at once begin to take sides in politics. but whether the Republicans or the Demo- crats or the Populists wili have an inning first is more than I can guess. “One thing can be stated positively, and that is the commission was given to understand that Mr. Dole would be con- tinued indefinitely In charge of affalrs as Governor. The President recently wrote bim a letter, which I think Admiral Mil- ler carried, empowering him to hold office until some future time, when Congress may enact new legislation regarding the government of the islands.
