April 1, have been fixed at a meeting of the Retail Dealers Association on a basis partially! 10 cents higher than for the current 12 months. After the first of the coming month, when a 60 per cent reduction by the coal roads goes Into effect, the deal ers who buy 2240 pound tons will sell 2000 pounds for $5.85, compared with 15.75 for the same period last year.

The corres-. MAYBE HE'S FROM BORNEO Wild Eyed Man Who Lived on Do p and Chased Natives Taken Near Nome. HIS IDENTITY IS A MYSTERY Theory Advanced That Strange Creature IsltusHian Kxlle That Escaped From the Wilds of Siberia. Seattle, March 29 A special to the Post-Intelligencer from Dawson says: Theory and conjecture have been set throbbing at nome by the capture there of a wild man of barbarous ap pearance, totally unable or unwilling to give an account of himself. He is commonly believed to be an escaped Russian exile from Siberia; the sug gestion Is made that he may be a sur vivor of tbe Andree party, and one in genious dreamer thinks the stranger may be the Wandering Jew. The man has been In custody but a few days when the last advices re ceived here from Nome left that place. He waa a strange weird creature, with beard and hair to bia waist, and nails long and twisted. He leaped like a wild animal and talked nothing Intelligible. The Nome Nugget brings out the suggestion that the man may be a survivor of the Andree party. The Nome News deals with the probability of his being an escaped Russian con vict, long forced to live In the wilder ness. The Nome News says: A strange being reached Nome last Sunday and incredible as It may seem, it Is almost certain that there Is in Nome today an escaped Siberian con vict, possibly a political exile, a man who must have traveled on foot through the 4.W0 miles or more of Arctic, wilderness that stretches be tween here and Srednl-Kolymsk, the mystery and was finally assured by a Vatican ecclesiastic that the guard is due to the discovery of a plot against the pope's life. The fact that the soldiers are Ital ians would seem to indicate that they are acting on orders from the Italian government, idependently of the Vati can guards. MARYLAND MAN IN LUCK. Went to England Two Years Age and Now He's a Lord. Baltimore, March 29. Albert Klrby Fairfax, eldest eon of the late Dr. John C. Fairfax, of Prince George's county, Maryland, and Inheritor of his titles of Lord Fairfax and Baron Cameron In the peerage of Scotlond, Is reported to have assumed his titles and taken his seat in the house of lords. He went to England two years ago to engage in business and had no in tention of following such a course. It Is now said he has been legally adopt ed by a wealthy Englishman, as the heir to his estate and persuaded to assume his title. His Tongue Cut Out New York. March 29. After two weeks of preparation a surgical oper ation for the removal of the tongue has been successfully performed upon Thomas Magulre, a well known the atrical treasurer, formerly of San Francisco, who has been attached to New York play houses for several years. Magulre was a victim of can cer at the roots of his tongue, caused by excessive smoking. A few years ago the doctors informed him that his only chance for life lay in the entire removal of the tongue. He cheerfully submitted and said in bidding farewell to his friends who gathered around the operating table, that he would soon learn to talk with his fingers. The aurgeona now believe he will rap Idly recover his health. MORIS RIOTS, Disturbances of strikers are not nearly as grave aa an individual disor der of the system.

Rogers, druggist. from whlc4he could possibly have mtttrtoA t He may be tbe wandering Jew on another round, since stragely enough he was found near Cape Prince of Wales In eight of East Cape, where that Interesting figure once stood and stretched out his rands toward this continent. Surely he is cot of our ways and customs. How he got across the straits la unanswered. The case Is a strange one. Recent ly the Nome authorities were advised that a wild man had been captured near Ktngegan by reindeer men and natives. It was reported at that time that the man had been living In the hull of a wrecked schooner and that on several occasions he had chased both the white men and natives and had killed, apparently for food, several dogs. McLean and two Eskimos reached here with the captive wild man. Here was a man apparently 45 years of age, somewhat below medium height, thin as a famine figure, red-eyed, wild-eyed and In rags. With hair and beard that reached to his waist and nails evidently trained to grow around the ends of his fingers, he was a sight well calculated to inspire fear and wonder. His parka, though hanging in strips, wan of heavy woolen cloth and evi dently of Russian design and make. Around hla neck, suspended to a small gold chain, was a small gold amulet with Greek design and an ebony Greek cross. He carried no papers, nothing to t peak for him, and since he cannot or will not talk, whence he came, who he may be all is a mystery. The only solution thus far offered is given above that he la an escaped Siberian exile. He is certainly Russian. The shape of the head and the eyes re semble greatly the picture of Zimmer man, the man who conspired to blow up the government workshops a few years ago and who was at Sredni Kolymsk two years ago. The unfortunate man was placed in Jail and Is there being well cared for In the hope that he will recover aufflc lently to tell his story. He is easily handled, but seems to have no under standing beyond the recognising food when placed before him. All day yesterday the officials were besieged by people who had heard of the wild man and were anxious to see him. Several Russians applied for permits to visit the Jail. Deputy Marshal Cody states that it has been necessary, both on account of the crowds applying and the unfortunate man's condition to refuse all requests. Until, If ever, the mystery Is cleared up and the stranger has recovered from the effects of his terrible exper ience no one will be allowed to see him. McLean, who was one of the captors, stated yesterday that the man had been In the vicinity of Klngegan for several weeks ad had terrorized most of the natives, who regarded him as something supernatural. He was tak en with little difficulty. GUARD KNEW HIS MAN. Prisoner st Sesttle Is Recognized sa Folsom Convict. .
