Was the Olimaie cf This Country Responsible or was It a Olever Swindle- Special by Thk Unitkd Titus. Milwaukee, Sept. 12. Herman Frank is a millionaire resident of Mil waukee of antiquarian taste. In his magnificent home there are Iudian relics, a bit of the "Blarney stone,'' mastodons, and other such things, but Mr. Frank was not happy, as he sadly wanted a mummy. So he made a trip a year ago to Egypt to get it Ho failed to procure any dried up Pha roahs or Karnes, however, and came back to Milwankeo disgusted. Through a friend of his. who knew Jerry Lynch of San Francisco, while that gentleman was doing the Pyra mids Mr. Frank successfully nego tiated with the American consul at Cairo for the shipment to this country of two specimens of bandaged Coptic corpses. Frank paid 82,500 for them, and S400 duty at tho New York Custom House. They arrived yesterjday, and in the presence of officers of the pub lic museum, he opened the box which contained the mummies. Then Mr. Frank began to remove the cloth that covered tho face of ouo of the mummies. The gentlemen present beat over the box as tho cloth was beinc re moved. As tho last fold was taken away they saw tho semblance of a head crumble and decrease in size until nothing but a tablespoon full of impalpable dust met their gaze. The covering to the rest of tho body was then taken away, and tho same transition occurred. Tho other mum my met with a similar fate. The gentlemen aro nuzzled to know whether the United States climate affected tho mummies, or whether some shrewd mummy manufacturer in Egypt sold Mr. Frank a fake. Mr. Frank will do his utmost to collect tho duty he paid the Now York Custom House, as ho says thero is no duty on dust, and that is all he has to show for S2.500. Failure of a. IVceK.

A HEARTLESS OiPTAIN'S WORK Ho and His Grew Left the Chinese to Wash Overboard and Drown A Night of Horror. Special by The United Press. Sax Francisco, Sept 12. The schooner Louis arrived from Thin Point, Alaska, tlm morning with 7,500 cases of canned salmon and 250 bar rels of fish. Captain White brings further intelligence of the loss of the bark Oneida. He asserts that the drowning of the seventy-eight Chinese was due to the criminal negligence of the captain and crew. In speaking of the matter, Captain White said: "The night was calm and the sea smooth as glass. When the bark struck the captain and crew got into the boats and pulled about 500 yards away from the vessel. From 10 o'clock at night until day break sailors lay off the bark and listened to the howls and shrieks of the poor frenzied devils on board. Many of the Chinese were washed ashore in the water butts. A large number of these were standing on the deck and the Chinese crawled into them only to bo caught like rat3 in a holo when the ship broke in two." In tho hold cf the vessel there were dories enough to have saved every life on board! AU that was necessary was to take off the hatch and four men could have launched every dory easily. Thero was plenty of time to do the work as the Oneida did not begin to break up for over twelve hours after she struck. When daylight came and the sailors saw where land lay they pulled away and left the Chinese to their fate. A Substitute Steamer. Special to The Astoriax.I Sax Feaxcisco, Sept. 12.

Report That tbe Ex-President Will go to Massachusetts. Special to The Astoriax. Bostox. Sept. 12. Democrats gen erally, and Mugwumps in particular, are in a flutter over rumors that ex President Cleveland has decided to abandon New York as a place of resi dence, and seek a home in Massachu setts. 9 Efforts to get something definite from Cleveland himself, have proved unavailing, but those who are near him intimate that with the rank and file of the party in New York, more or less dominated by Hill, he would have much better prospects in 1892 if the plan of the campaign were mapped out among trusted friends in Massa chusetts. The Democratic party is with him solidly and the Democratic leaders are hopeful of his coming, although Mr. "Collins says he should think Cleveland would rather meet him on his own ground and achieve the pres tige such a victory would give him. If ho comes Cleveland will scarcely live in this city, but rather in some convenient suburb. Several excellent opportunities for a business partner ship are open to him here. ALASKA LAWS.
