Sonsatlonal re ports wero published hero today of an alleged shortage In tho bookB of Theo dore Draomer, who resigned last Sun day aa treasurer of tho J. &. F. Schroth Packing Company, of this city. Tho story as first published al leged a shortage of from 1 160,000 to 1400,000, extending over n period of 20 years, and declared that Mr. Brae mer had turned over all of his prop erty and chattels In trust, ponding an examination of tho books by exports. Braomar denied thnt thoro wbb any defalcation, but admitted that ho had turned ovor 172,000 in porsonal prop erty to Harland Cleveland, his attor ner, and Joaoph W. O'Hnra, attorney for the J. & F. Schroth company. lie Braomar talked freely about h-JW, ,the;i8chroths, rofusod to ay any!ning,"sinl' thcTattorueyB woro also reticent. Braomor Is about 4G years of ago. and has boon with tho Schroths 27 yearB, most of tho time receiving 25 por weok as bookkeeper, and In re cont years about twlco that much as secretary and treasurer. Tho firm did n business of about 11,000,000 a year, which was collected by Brao mor. When John Schroth died, ovor a year ago, Ltcutenant-Govornor Carl Nlpport bocamo tho attorney of his holrs, who Instituted an Investigation of tho company, which finally culmln. ated In a meeting of all Interested parties last Sunday, at which Brae mer resigned, and from which tho sonsatloiial reports of today eman ated. Tho oxperts Insist that thoy cannot comploto their work for two or threo weeks, and counsel say thnt no rollnblo statement can bo made until that tlmo. No reports of similar character ever created such a sensation in this city, as Mr. Brnemor always has boon regarded ns a man of tho highest bus iness and social standing. Uo owns ono of tho finest residences in the city, and It Is furnished with all that art could supply. In nil of tho sensa tional reports that havo boon pub lished no reforonco is mado to him as a fast man or of had habits, such aa aro usually coupled with such sen sations. Tho nttornoyB and othor In terested porsons will glvo no assur ance that tho report of tho oxperts on tho examination of tho books will bo mado public whon complotod. as thoy state that every possible dlf foronco has already been adjusted satisfactorily by tho property that Braemer has turnod over In trust. All tho Interested parties stnto that thoy expected after tho meeting last Sunday, at which Braomor resigned, that all differences would bo sottled without tho mattor over becoming public. Boer Commando Captured. London, Jnn. 24. Lord Kitchener, in a dispatch from Johannesburg, Transanal colony, says General Mathuoii overtook a Boer oemmando near Bosch poort, and after a running fight of eight miles, ho captured all their wagons and cattle, and 24 Bores.

Asked In Aid of Railroad Across Alaska Bills Now In Congress. Washington, Jan. 23. Now that tho Trans-Alaskan Hallway Company has a bill before both tho senate and the house granting it a right of way for a railroad from Cook inlet across the pen insula, by way of Unalakllk and Eaton to Port Clarence, tin the end of tho Sew ard peninsula, it is working very vigor ously to secure tho passage of this meas ure. It is asking for a laud grant sim ilar to that extended to tho sovora transcontinental roads in tho United States. Tho exact routo proposed to bo cov ered by this road has been survoyed by tho company, and has been inspected by representatives of tho geological sur vey. . It starts on tho western shore of Cxik. lnletjust-northuof Kanishak bay, lending'westward from Iliamna lake past Kukwok, and northwestward across Tikchik lake to Knlnmkof on the Kuskokwim, and northwestward to Holy Cross Mission and Auvik, ou the Yukon, thenco up Anvik river, and over Anvik portago to tho head of Norton sound; thenco by Nome to Port Clar ence. The distance to Cook Inlet from St. Michael is approximately 400 miles. Kaniisliak bay is said to be open throughout the winter, and therefore affords a valuable terminal for tho road and its steamship connections. The company assorts that tho main artery of commerce is closed by ico dur ing the winter mouths, and that a rail way from Cook Inlet to Behring wa Is the only practicable method of opening up to settlement tho western plains and river valleys of Alaska, and of furnish ing means of transportation at all sea sons of the year. The snowfall along tho proposed route is light, and a railroad, it is said, can bo operated without Interruption. The company claims to bo asking for this grant solely to aid in tho construc tion of tho road, in the hope of develop ing the agricultural resources of tho in terior and nffording adequate transpor tation to the remote sections that are now practically cut off through the win ter mouths. Tlio company does not ask for any mineral rights, nor does it expect immediate returns frten the lauds. It appreciates that it will take years to bring to tho people of tho United States the knowledge that in Alaska can Is) had homesteads from which can bo gathered tho necessaries of life.
