Seattle, Sept. 3. Tho steamship Sen
ator, whioll arrived today from Nome,
brought news of u brutal murder, in
which tho life of F. Scott Morrii-on, of
Chicago, was sacrificed to tho blood
thirsty savagery of Siberian natives.
She brings also the report of tlio
drowning of Captain Gillcy. n noted
Alaskan explorer, whoso,, good or bad
fortune it was to have killed 11 vo North
ern Indians some years ago wbilo they
were trying to take forcible possession
of a veseel of which ho vus master.
Ollloy was captain of the sailing
schooner Fditb, which, with F. Scott
Morrison and Kdward I'orogren, as pas
engors,.sailcd from Nome, August 8,
for Siberia on a trading nud prospect
ing expedition. They had enlisted tho
lorvices of an Indian named Sam to
pilot them to Siberian shores, where
thoy arrived tho Friday following tlioir
departure. Tlmt afternoon was passed
in making oxobangos with tho natives,
who appeared to bo both friendly and
poaceable. About 10 o'clock nt night,
Morrison retired to his stateroom, and
a fow moments later shots Iroin ashore
wore heard. Tho reports hud hardly
subsided when Morrison exclaimed:
"I'vo boon shot." His shipmates
hurried to his iiKistnnco. They found
that thu bullet had penetrated tho sido
of tho schooner and stateroom, enter
ing Morrison's groin. A fow minutes
lator tho vessel set sail for American
shores, but Morrison succumbed to his
injuries at 5 o'clock tlio noxt morning.
Thu next day, when in the vicinity
of Slcdgu . island, 15 or 'M inilos off
Nome. Captain Gillcy went on deck and
seated himself on tlm rail of the ves
sel. A second later tho boom swung
around, striking him. He toppled
over into tho so.i and drowned before
assistance could reach him. His body
was recovered. Forcgren assumed
command of tbo Edith, and, with tho
aid of a Sledge island Indian, succeed
ed iu reaching Nome in safety. Mor
rison was a passenger to Nome on the
first voyage of tho Jennie, which
reached tlm district Mily 2. With M.
('. Anderson, lie was engaged in tho
saloon and general merchandise busi
ness at Nome. His widow nnd fivo
step-children, ono of whom, II . C.
Heisler, accompatiicd him to Alaska,
survive him. Captain (tilley was CO
years old and n native of the Island of
Ilorueo lie had been a resident of
Alaska for nearly two decades. His
fight with the Indians, in which 10 are
said to have boen slain, occurred at
Capo I'liuuoof Wales.
"Jack" HuukiiH, a passenger on

Samoa arrived at Nomo from Sibern
tho night tho Senator sailed. In cross
ing frOm ' tlio czar's domain, ber pas

ARE ANXIOUS TO ENLIST.

Mtlrreil by tho OIiIiib Wiir.
Now York, August 30. Enlistments
in thu nrmy havo been phenomenal
lluco tho beginning of tho trouble In
fjliinn, says tho Washington corro
ipondent of tho Herald. Young men
in nil parts of the country have flocked
to tbo recruiting stations, anxious to
rcoeivo military sorvico in n foreign
country. Tho recruiting oflicors nro
taking their pick of applicants nnd nro
having no dillicnlty in keoping tho reg
ular nrmy about np to its full limit un
der tho lnw.
Colonel Thomns Ward, tho assistant
Bdjutnnt-genornl in charge of tho en
listed men's division, enid thnt enlist
monts in the nrmy havo never neon so
numerous ns nt present. This is some
thing remarkable, since the rocrniting
in tho harvesting period is always less
than at any other time of the year.
Then tho young men out of work find
all thoy want to do' on farms in the
Wost. Tlio olllcers' lists shows enlist
ment for April wero 1,274; May,
1,448; June, 1,047; July, 2,700, and
for tho first 10 day of August, by io
port so far recoived by tho war depart
ment, 807. This furnishes an nggro
gato of 7.040 men (or that period.
Usually the same months of any other
year havo furnishod hardly one-half ol
that number.
Colonel Ward said: "Of tho 2,700
enlistments for July, about 1,800 were
foreign service, of wtich about 750
wero enlisted directly for regiments
dosignated for such service, while up
ward of 1,000 were sent to rendezvous
