A Polygamous Bookkeeper la
cago Jail.
Chicago, Aug. 9. A warrant charg
ing bigamy has been served on David
Ellsworth Bates in his cell at the police
tation. It was sworn out by James L.
McCarthy, who said he was the father
of Mrs. Bates No. 3. The police say
Mr. Bates married at least seven women.
all of whom are living, and only one of
them divorced. This makes the lean
and sallow-faced little bookkeeper a
polygamist extraordinary.
The following women have so far filed
with the police their claims to Bates as
husband:
Mrs. Bates, formerly Miss Julia Mc
Carthy, married in Chicago three years
ago, recognized by the prisoner as his
true wife, and dwelling at 840 West
Sixty-first street.
Mrs. Bates, formerly Miss Nettie
Swaim, married February 25, 1897, in
Chicago, and residing at 6403 Bishop
street.
Mrs. Bates, formerly Miss Anna K
Herbert, Plainwell, Mich., a sister of
his brother's wife, married September
11, 1889, and now in Michigan.
Mrs. Bates, formerly Miss Nellie
Howard, of Kalamazoo, Mich., married
in 1885, and divorced two years later.
Mrs. Bates, formerly Miss Ida Cader
wood, of Galena, 111., who dwelt at 5401
Dearborn street, where she gave birth
to a baby. Her home is not known tu
the police.
Mrs. Bates, whose identity is a my
stery, but known to have dwelt at
Forty-third and Wallace streets, where
a child was born.
A Wisconsin sheriff says Bates is
really Austin O. Croven, who is under
indictment at Waupauca, Wis., for the
abduction of pretty 15-year-old Olive
Vosburg some months ago. Her photo
graph was fonnd in his coat. It is sug
gested by the police that this girl may
have been his wife.
CLAIMS ARE ALL TAKEN.
A PECULIAR COMPLICATION.
Two Commissioners Appointed for the
St. Michaels Office.
Washington, Aug. 9. A peculiar
complication has grown out of the fill
ing of the posts of United States com
missioners lor the district of Alaska,
and two men now hold commissions
for the same office at St Michaels.
The last sundry oivil bill created four
commissioners ips for Alaska, to be
located at Circle City, Dyea, Unga and
St Michaels. There were already four
commissioners there, with omces at
Sitka, Juneau, Wrangel, Eodiak and
Unalaska.
William' J. Jones, a lawver of Port
Townsend, was appointed to the St.
Michaels commissionership. The de
partment heard he had withdrawn, and
then chose L. B. Shepard, of Nebraska,
for the place. Meantime, Jones' bond
and oath of office were received, al
though he was supposed to have with
drawn, but the second appointee's
commission had then been forwarded.
Both men hold commissions and the
department is at sea as to how to
straighten out the tangle.
THE SWAUK DISTRICT.
O. B. Henton Reaches Seattle With
1,000 in Gold Nuggets.
Seattle, Aug. 9. G. B. Henton ar
rived in this city tonight with over
$1,000 worth of gold nnggests, the re
sult of ten- days' work on Williams
creek placer claim on the Swauk dis
trict, Kittitas county. One nugget was
worth $260, another $120; others $50
and $60 and down to very small pieces.
He has been working the claims since
January, and since that time has taken
out $5,000. The Swauk placers are old
and well known, hut have been worked
only in a crude way. One man who
owns a claim there has been working it
quietly for six years, during which time
he has made about $50,000. Mr. Hen
ton sunk a shaft 103 feet to bedrock
before he made his find. He says the
Clondyke Las no attractions for him.
Clondyke Thronged With Disappointed
Golp Hunters.
San Francisco, Ang. 9. Speaking of
the Clondyke output of gold, the chief
olerK ol the mint said;
All the gold brought to this city
ironi me Alaskan mines will not ex
ceed $SOO,000, and all that has been
taken out this year and sent to the
other mints of the country will not ex
ceed f3,000,000. The gold from that
part of the country is generally from
700 to 800 fine and some of it rat8 900.
the average being worth from $15.55 to
$17 an ounce."
J. V. Butler, of the Pullman Car
Company, is in receipt of a letter from
h. F. laylor, a financial broker of
Seattle. A few days ago Taylor re
ceived word from some men whom he
sent to the Clondyke region last spring
in wiuun tney ltiiorm him that every
claim within 150 miles of Dawson
City has been taken up, and that men
are rushing all over the country look
mg for locatitons. He says that star
vation and hardship stares many of
them m the face.
Captain Niebaum, of the Alaska
Commercial Company, who has made
a careful study of .the situation, fears
there will be a great deal of suffering
in ine mining regions this spring. He
thinks the people going are far in ex
cess or the supplies that have been for
warded.
A letter from Hart Huraber, a pros
pector, dated Dawson City, June 18.
just received, shows that the gold seek
er needs plenty of capital. After reach
ing JJawson and paying the heavy duty
uu ins otunt, oesides ao cents a pound
lor getting it over Chilkoot pass, he
will have to pay 25 Cents a pound to
get his stuff from Dawson to the dig-
ginsrs.
The rush to the Clondyke gold fields
ia attectmg the mineowners of the
mother lode in the vicinity of Sonora,
Jackson and Sutter Creek, and if it con
tinues will cause the closing down of
the mines in Calaveras, Amador and
1 uolunine counties, or their operation
with depleted forces.
In the past week 200 men have left
Amador county alone for the gold fields
:.. .i .i t . ,
m me norwi ancr otners are preparing
to follow. Some of them were hired
by mineowners in Alaska, but many of
tnem went on their own resources.
The other counties have also sent ex
pert miners in large numbers.
An Expedition From Brooklyn.
New York, Aug. 9. A half dozen
ambitious Brooklynites are organizing
an expedition to Alaska to search for
some of the Clondyke gold. David P.
Watsons, of Brooklyn, clerk of the Re
publican general committee, is making
up a party, of which he will be one,
and which will leave early in February
to seek fortunes in the gold fields of
the North.
Tacoma Ia Clondyke Mad.
Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 9. Desire to
rush off to the Alaska gold fields at
once, without waiting till next spiing
is increasing all the time. Poteen
steamers are scheduled to sail from
this port between now and the a at of

Fishing Season to Close.
Astoria, Or., Aug. 9. The fishing
season closes Tuesday. It is utterlj
impossible as vet to make an estimate
of the pack, but it will probably be in
the neighborhood of 500,000 cases. It
is known that the fishermen's union
cannery packed 80,000 cases. Of the
other packers, some have made the
usual packs, while others have fallen
below last year's output. The fisher'
men on the upper river have done com
paratively nothing, the catches being
Tery light An up-river fislierma'n says
the men have barely made expenses,
On the lower river the men have done
better, and all cleaned up good wages,
The high men on the lower river have
19 tons to their credit, valued at about
fl ,500. The seiners have made light
catches, but the traps have done very
well. Pish are plentiful in the river
at present.
Canada Enforces Labor Law.
Toronto, Ontario, Aug. 9. Canada
has begun to take means to enforce the
len labor law against Americans.
Commissioner McCreary is here on
business in connection with work on the
Crow's Nest Pass railway through the
Rocky mountains, and he informed the
Canadian Pacific railway authorities
that any American laborers engaged for
that work would be deported to their
own country again. McCreary has in
structions from the Canadian govern
ment to strictly enforce the new law.
Trouble on Turko-Perslan Frontier.
London, Aug. 9. A dispatch to the
Daily News from Takriz, North Persia,
capital ol the province of Azerbaijam,
lays that serious trouble has broken
out on the Turko-Persian frontier, and
that both governments have dispatched
troops and guns to the scene of tlie
difficulty.
There is nothing that helps a man in
his conduct through life more than the
knowledge of his own characteristic

Demand for Laborers Exceeds Supply.
Tacoma, Aug. 9. The immense crop
now being harvested, the great activity
in the lumber and shingle mills, also
the exodus of men to the Clondyke,
makes the number of idle men in Wash
ington, and especially in the Puget
sound district, very Bmall. Wages
have recently been advanoed, while the
demand for laborers exceeds the supply-

Novel Scheme of a New Jersey Railway
Engineer.
New York, Aug. 9, A dispatch
the Herald from May's Landing, N.
J., says: The recent discovery of Ciiief
Engineer Nicholas, of the West Jersey
& Seashore railway, that crude oi. ap
plied to the ground along the railway
tracks would effectually lay the dust,
has proven after thorough tests to work
far better than was first expected.
Both lines of track leading from Cam
den to Atlantic City are being thor
oughly saturated for a distance of six
feet on both sides of the track.
The oil is applied on much the same
plan as streets are sprinkled. A water
and recently an oil train with sprin
kling apparatus sprinkled more than
20 miles. The work will be completed
in a few days. One sprinkling a year
at a cost of S0 per mile, it is olaimed,
will lay the dust effectually, but two
applications may have to be made.
The Pennsylvania system is to be
sprinkled with oil as speedily as possible.
A Michigan Tragedy.
Grand Rapids, Mich., Aug. 9. Last
April A. H. Dailey, of Jennison, sent
a letter to Mayor Swift, saying he
wanted a wife. The letter got into
the newspapers, and as a result Dailey
received 500 answers. From among
the offers he selected Mrs. Hattie M.
Newton, a Chicago widow, and they
were married. They quarreled and
finally separated. Dailey gave his wife
three days to return. The time was up
at midnight last night and she refused
to return. Dailey forced his way into
her bedohamber and shot her with a
musket. Dailey was arrested, and on
his way to jail was allowed to go into
a saloon to drink. He slipped strych
nine into his beer and fell over dead
in a few minutes. The woman will
recover.
Fatal Quarrel Over Cattle.
Madera, Cal.; Aug. 9. In a quarrel

Reardon gave himself up.
Over Seventy Millions.
Washington, Aug. 9. The latest offi
cial estimate of the population of the
United States is 77,000,068. This in
made by the actuary of the treasury an
officer whose doty it is at fixed intervals
to report on the per captia circulation
of money in the United States. He
estimates that the present holdings of
money are f for every man. woman
and child in the United States.
It is much easier to find the man tou
owe than the man who owes you.
Insurgents to Be Shot.
Key West, Fla., Ang. 9. Casala and
Mendez, two insurgents who surren

order of General Weyler. The insur
gents under Colonel Monteatruedo have
attacked and destroyed the town ol
Encrnoijada, Santa Clara province,
killing many of the enemy.
Preliminary Acceptance of Gunboats.
Washington. Aug. 9. The navy de-!

MOVED THEIR CAMP.
The Strikers Won the Day at Turtle and
Sandy Creeks.
Pittsburg, Aug. 9. Out of the 9,000
strikers who camped at Turtle creek
last Saturday, barely 800 now remain
it Camp Determination. In addition
to the large number turned out of camp
and shut off from the free food distri
bution yesterday, many were drafted to
Plum creek, where the great struggle
for supremacy between the strikers and
the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal
Company will be carried on.
At Turtle and Sandy creeks 'the
strikers have practioally wou. Turtle
oreek mine, known as No. 4, is closed
down as tight as the strikers oan ever
hope to close it by their present peace
ful means of agitation. It is true that
a few men are still at work in the pit,
but they are not putting out any coal.
The same holds good at Sandy oreek.
Reports from Plum creek are conflict
ing. Superintendent DeAimitt claims
that 255 men are still working, while
the strikers say they counted but 80 go
ing into the pit this morning.
the deputies at Plum creek are hav
ing a hard time. Many are oomplain
ing, and a number have resigned. They
are np from before daylight unitl long
after the sun has set. They are on a
constant strain. All the mines are con
nected by private telegraph and tele
phone wires, and every stranger or
body of strangers moving along the
highway are reported to the nearest
offloe by scouts, and the foremen or
managers of all the mines get notice.
At the point upon which any march
thus reported seems to be direoted,
there is a stir among the deputies. As
these marches are of almost daily oc
currence day and night in all direc
tions, the deputies are in a oonstant
state oi apprehension and activity.
The feeding and lodging facilities are
limited, and not adequate to the de
mands made upon them, and what adds
to the deputies' discomfort is the fact
that none of them are used to hard
ships.
TESLA'S WIRELESS SYSTEM.
WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Message! May Be Sent to Any Part ol
the Globe.
New York, Aug. 6. Nicola Tesla
announced today the completion of his
latest discovery, the "simultaneous
transmission of messages by means of
the earth's electrical currents to as
many scattered points on the Burfaoe of
the globe as may be desired." This he
regards as by far his greatest achieve
ment. To a few intimates he gave a
thrilling demonstration of the operation
of his device for arresting and subject
ing to control under natural laws tho
natural substances in and about the
earth.
His latest invention or discovery is
to produce such a disturbance of the
electricity of the earth which can be
felt and noted simultaneously at all
parts or the globe.
Iam producing," said he in the
course of his demonstration, "an elec
trical disturbance of intense magnitude,
which is continuing throughout the en
tire earth. In other words, I am pro
ducing a disturbance of the earth'e
charge of electrioity which can be felt
to the uttermost" parts of the earth."
"And the result will be?"
"That is almost incomprehensible.
This electrical disturbance by means
of certain simple instruments, can be
felt and appreciated at any point of the
globe. In this way messages can be
sent the entire earth around, and be
taken up at any part of the earth with
out the aid or intervention of wires in
any way at all."
Downing, Hopkins Company's Review
of Trade.
The short sellers of wheat have but
a single argument left to support their
views, vis: The admitted fact that the
wheat crop of this country will be at
least 100,000,000 bushels larger than
that of last year. The current news
during the week has been extremely
bullish and developments have materi
ally strengthened the position of spec
ulative buyers. Probably the most im
portant annoucement was Boorhohm's
estimate placing the European sliort;tgu
compared with last year at 234,000,000
bushels. This has been emphiiHized
and confirmed by the activo cash de
mand and enormous sales for export.
An additional aid in enhancing values
lias been furnished by tho farmers
stacking their wheat at a greater ex
tent than usual. Should the coal min
ers' strike continue a fortnight longer
it will prove a powerful, although un
natural, factor in enhancing values,
and in all probability result in a more
serious congestion, of the market for
September delivery than has prevailed
for July oon'racts. Tho promise of an
abundant wheat crop in America, the
absence of competition in supplying
ine requirements ol Importing coun
tries, and the consequent increased ex
port demand for American wheat, all
tend to benefit the American fanner.
Wheat will prove a profitable purchase
on all reactions and the general tend
ency is toward a still higher range of
Values.
The American visible this week shows
a decrease of 164,000 bushels, and now
totals 17,650,000 bushels against 46,
429,000 a year ago. There is much to
be said regarding both sides of the corn
market, but after all is said it is still a
fact that values are extremely lowdue
to panio and overproduction. The
growing crop is not yet assured, and
with the enhancing values ruling for
wheat compared with "producing years,
the increasing activity in general trade,
oorn must participate to a greater or
loss extent in the general improvements,
according as the crop promise to bo
above or below that of last year. In
any event, present values promise to be
well maintained, and thero is little
if any inducement for S)iecnlative short
Belling. Should the growing crop meet
with any mishap much higher values
will quickly obtain.
Mowed Down With Cannon.
London. Aug. 9. The London News
publishes a letter from a Calcutta vol
unteer reiterating the statement thai,
during the recent rioting there the artil
lery fired at a mob of 5,000 mill hands
who were marching to join the rioters,
with the result that 1,500 of the natives
were killed.
The secretary of state for India was
questioned in the house of commons
uly 9 as to thre accuracy of the native
eport that 1,500 persons were killed
during the rioting, which had just oc
curred in the vicinity of Calcutta, as
one of the results of the stringent meas
ures taken by government offloials to
prevent the spread of and stamp out
the bubonio plague. He replied that
about seven persons were killed and 20
were wounded during the riots referred
to.
To Complete Hudson Itiver Tunnel.
New York, Aug. 9. The Hudson
river tunnel project to connect New
York and New Jersey has been revived.
Plans are now being perfected to re
sume construction where it was dropped
five years ago. Engineers say that an
expenditure of 11,500,000 will com
plete the work. Four million dollars
had already been spent before the work
was abandoned, at which time there
were 8,916 feet of completed tunnel bo-
ing east from the shaft in Jersey City.
One thousand feet of this distance ex
tends east of the middle of the Hudson
river.

California Wheat for Brazil.
Washington, Aug. 9. The bureau of
American republios had information
that merchants of Rio Janeiro have
chartered two vessels in San Franoisco
to take cargoes of California wheat to
Rio. This ia the first time that such a
thing has occurred and is attributed to
the short crop in the Argentine repub
lic and Paraguay,
The common house sparrow flies at

Heavy Rainstorm Strikes Colorado.
Denver, Ang. 9. Heavy rains have
caused many thousands of dollars worth
of damage in and about the city. Several
bridges across Cherry creek have been

laborer, was thrown into the oreek bv
the caving of a bank and was drowned.
An unknown man who attempted to
ford the creek on horseback was also
swept away.

brought within the fortifications of
Paris, whether food, fuel, or building
mateiral, is subject to these dutlng.
There is also a tax of 10 per cent on the
amount of rent paid by each tonant,
license tax on business, a window tig
ami a dog tax. TIichs produce about
$18,000,000 a year. About $3,000,000
ootnes in the form of contributions front
the reptlblio toward tho maintunnnoe of
the police department snd the streets.
About $15,000,000 comes from "what
are strictly municipal revenues," whiuh
"are derived from such sources as rent
