Muoh interest is being shown by the

at present in progress over the bodies
of strikers and a citizen killed last Sun­
day by members of the sheriff's posse
oomitatus. The testimony adduced at
today’s hearing does not deny that
Deputy Sheriff Marsh shot Frederick
Holme, the citizen in question, but the
witnesses disagreed a» to the deputy’s
provocation for shooting. There was
testimony from alrout 35 witnesses,
consuming three hours, after which the
jury returned a verdict of homicide.
A sensational feature of the inquest
was the conflicting statements made by
witnesses as to whether Police Lieu­
tenant Stack ordered the deputy sher­
iffs to fire on the crowd. Several of
the deputies testified that he ordered
the posse juard to shoot, while Stack
declared he did all in his power to pre­
vent the deputies from firing.
The disappearance of Deputy Sheriff
Marsh was a startling development at
the inquest. It is believed that Marsh
has left the city. No further search
will be made for him probably, unless
friends of the dead man seek to prose­
cute him. the verdict of the coroner’s
jury being practically an exoneration.

London, June 18.— This is the situa­
tion in China as it appears to the
Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Express, cabling last evening:
“ It is really a state of veiled war.
The members of the foreign legations
in Pekin are virtually prisoners, ana
the Chinese troops are only restrained
from attacking them by {oar of the le­
gation guards. Meanwhile, the minis­
ters are altogether unable to communi­
cate with the commanders of the relief
column, which is making an enforced
ami isolated halt between Tien Tsin
and Pekin. The walls of the capital
are guarded by 100,000 imperial troops.
The gates are heavily defended with
modern guns. General Tung, acting
under orders from the empress dowager,
says that no more foreign troo|is shall
enter the sacred city.
“ Monday the ministers sent a de­
mand to the Tsung li Yamun that the
gates l>e opened, declaring that other­
wise the foreign troops would enter
forcibly. To this no reply was given.
A second message was unanswered, or
had not been answered when the latest
news left Pekin. Sir Claude MacDon­
ald’s latest message says that the lega-
itons are capable of sustaining an effect­
ive defense unless attacked in force.”
Russia, this correspondent asserts,
notwithstanding assurances to the con­
trary, sides with China. Some of the
foreign troops are already reisirted to
be in the environs of Pekin, and the
attitude of the Chinese troops is in­
creasingly menacing.

“ No great statesman with good hard
home sense ever went out of his way to
offund a newspaper man,” he says.
“ Home years ago there was a very hot
campaign in Georgia for a big office.
“ In a distant city lived a candidate
who was oontident of election. He
was proud and haughty, and thought
only of himself.
“ A young newspaper man was de­
tailed by the managing editor to ac­
company tho statesman and report his
■¡leeches.
“ Now comes the funny part of the
story. The statesman ignored his com­
panion— loft him to take care of him­
self— introduced him to noliody— treat­
ed him without any consideration.
“ Once when they were riding in a
buggy through the country they stop-
lied ut a spring. The statesman cooled
a liottle of wine in the spring and dmnk
It all, without offering the journalist a
drop.
“ Then he helped himself to a cigar
from the valise, and resumed his seat
in the buggy.
“ ‘ Drive onl’ho said.
“ The newspaper man hated and de­
spised the cold-blooded politician, but
he had his work to do.
“ He reported the speeches and cam­
paign incidents, hut in a quiet way he
knifed the statesman. The big man
read the re[HWts,and was conscious that
something was lacking, but he could
not tell what.
“ The newspaper man simply stuck
to the facts and damned the candidate
with faint praise. He left out the ele­
ment of enthusiasm. He was dull.and
deliberately so.
"Th e candidate was defeated, and h«
never knew how much the newspaper
man had to do with it.
“ Of course he did not dream that his
own conduct had injured him. No
mean man ever makes the discovery
that he is mean.”

Han Francisco, June 18.— In the
United States circuit court, Judge
Morrow rendered a decision in the cuss
of Jew Ho »gainst the board of health
of this city, dissolving the general
quarantine of Chinatown, enforced by
the lioard of health, owing to the al­
leged existence of plague in this city.
Judge Morrow held that the quarantine
was discriminating in its character.
Regarding the existence
of
ths
plague, Judge Morrow stated that hs
was not qualified to pass judicially on
the question, owing to the conflicting
testimony of physicians, but that if it
came within his power to decide in ths
matter, he would dec-lure that plague
does not, nor has not, existed.
At a meeting of the tioard of health
this afternon the quarantine was de­
clared dissolved.

All
this has been made clear, thanks to
physicians, boards of health, and food
commissions. So “ highly injurious to
the health of the community” does the
eminent head of the University of
Pennsylvania, Dr. Barker, consider the
alum baking powders, that he says
“ their sale should be prohibited by

Vancouver, B. C., June 19.— That
the gold fields of Cape Nome are richer
and mure productive than has yet been
represented, is the story brought down
by the steamer Alpha, which arrived
from the North tonight. Eromasiugle
claim, worked by 20 men in the employ
of Jack Brady, $15,000 was taken out
iu one week and the same oiaim panned
out $66,000 within a month.

pro­
ductiveness, the Alpha brought down
$250,000 in gold dust.
There were
five passengers on board, and the dust
belonged to four of them, in the fol-.
lowing amounts:
Jack Gill, of Seattle, $145,000; J. C.
Mongahau, of Denver, $40,000; Frank
Green, of Kansas Gitv, $30,000; Glen
Tinsley, an old Dawson miner, who
went to Nome last year, $35,000.
Unusual interest has followed the
Alpha’s trip, not only because she was
the first steamer to sail for Cape Nome,
but more especially on account of pos­
sibility of international complications,
the Alpha being a Canadian bottom
and Nome not being a sub-port of en-
tiy. But the skipper had no trouble
with the customs regulations.
He
sailed from Vancouver on April t,
clearing for St. Michael. He says he
was so menaced with icebergs as he
approached St. Michael that he pro­
ceeded directly to Nome, landing 163
passengers and their supplies on the
beach ou May 25. and sailing for Van­
couver ou May 30.
The Alpha was carried by the ice to
the Siberian coast, and for five days was
packed in the ice unable to move.
She finally made Nnnivak island, where
slto fun ltd the San Francisco whalers,
Alexander and Jeanette, with abont
100 passengers each, also trying to
reach Nome.
After spending three
days mure iu very heavy ice near Fri-
by luff islands, the Alpha finally made
Nome, whither the Alexander had pre­
ceded her two days.
Ho overjoyed
were the miners at tho double arrival
of the Alexander and the Alpha that a
civic holiday was declared, and the
Canadian boat was received with sa­
lutes. all the customs regulations being
waived, although as she had cleared
from Vancouver for St. Michael the
discharge of her freight was in direct
ouBlradivlioa ol tho custom Jaws.
Nome was rather dull during March
and April, work being entirely sus­
pended on account of cold weather.
Sevoral times during the winter the
settlement narrowly escaped total de­
stination by fire.
A ll the buildings
are said to be flimsey structures, and
Bo fire protection is afforded.
The extent of the gold-producing area
of Nome seems much greater thau was
at first supposed, and all over the coun­
try men are reported to be washing
from 15 to 25 cents to the pan in gold.
Golden Gate nnd Mascot creek are
turning out well. Topcock is the big-
gets find of the season, where it is con­
sidered nothing remarkable for a miner
to make $30 a day on many of the
claims, although the gold is found in
intermittent streaks. It was on Top-
cock creek that $50,000 was cleaned np
in 30 days. Topcock is 15 miles from
the sea, and 60 miles south of Nome.
One thousand people are working there
now, and there have lieen clean upe
from $25,000 to $50,000 on 100-foot
claims.
