THE BOOM PETERED OUT.
The Stranded Miners In Alaska Are In a
, ;. Bad Way.
ban Francisco, sept. 17. The min
ing boom at Cook's. inlet has petered
out ana mere are over 200 miners in
far-away Alaska who are stranded.
Not only have none of them any means
with which to come home, but there is
no way in which the majority of them
can reaoh home this winter.
Wild stories of a great boom in that
part of Alaska were told last fall, and
the spring saw the fitting out of a
number of expeditions for Cook's in
let. The first to go from here was in
charge of C. D. Ladd in the sohooner
Marion, twenty-eight men being in
the party. The steamer Chehalis took
twenty-five men from Puget sound,
and the schooners Elwood and Prosper
and the sloop Mars also took parties
from Seattle Taooma and Port Town
send. The ship Jeannie arrived here
from Cook's inlet eight days ago.
When she left the latter place, only the
jviarion, rrosper ana Hiiwooa were
there. These boats oould not accom
modate a quarter of the miners. The
Prosper's captain offered to take twen
ty men all she could carry to Una
laska at $5 a head, the men to board
themselves on the trip.
The Alaska Commercial Company's
new sohooner Kodiak, whioh was
built here a few months ago, is expect
ed to arrive at Cook's inlet next month,
but her capacity will not aooommodate
many of the miners, i An employe of
the oompany said today k '
. "It depends upon where the' miners
are along the shores of the inlet. ' If
they have remained on the east side,
they can readily reaoh our trading post
at Kenai, and there are two or three
canneries on the Kenai and Euislov
rivers; but if they have gone on the
westerly side, they are likely to have a
hard time, 'unless they are provided
with guns and ammunition. Even the
possession of these will not avail them
much after the winter sets in, for ev
erything tjkere is snow and Ice. If
they are pretty well acquainted with

Kenai, but if they are not, the case is
very serious. We have another station
on the Yanock, but I do not think it is
kept open in the winter months."
THE BIG. HOTEL AT NIAGARA.
The Place to Be Made the Monte Carlo
of America.
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 17. The Ex
press says: Niagara Falls is to be the
convention city of the future and ' the
Monte Carlo of Amerioa. Several
plans are far advanoed looking to the
establishment there of one of the most
gigantio permanent convention halls
nonn nnnrtniirarl svrt ? a aiA i-if 4-ltA A 4r .
lantio and the ereotion of a clubhouse
whioh will be the wonder of the world.
Niagara Falls in the future is going
to be all that Saratoga has been', only
on a greater scale. It is said that the
men interested in the scheme repre
sent more than $100,000,000 in money
and that they are able to carry the
thing through without a hitoh. It is
said thatthe clubhouse to be erected
will cost not less than $500,000, and
will be run after the plan of Mitchell's
House at Saratoga. Both Mitchell and
Daly are interested in the scheme be
sides others whose names cannot be
learned. .
The "Sweet-Pea Girl." ,-
San ; Franoisoo, Sept 17. The
"sweet-pea girl," the mysterious young
woman who has constantly attended
the Durrant trial, and who has attract
ed so much attention by her devotion
to the alleged murderer, is not Rosa
lind Holand, the daughter of well-to-,
do Oakland people. She is Mrs. Grace
Bowers, the wife of an insuranoe clerk.
Last Wednesday she left her husband
as a result of her infatuation for Dur
rant Mr. Bowers says his wife never
knew Durrant, but that from the be
ginning she has taken a great interest
in the trial,, and believes Durrant in
nocent. It is thought that her mind
has become affected, 'and that she is not
responsible for her actions.
STRIFE OVER VALUES!
Annual Troubles ot the Board
. of Equalization.
PLEAS FOR MERCY. ARE HEARD
A Decided Decrease In all Property in
Washington, as Assessed by
the County Boards.
Olympia, Wash., Sept 19. The
scene of strife between the state board
of equalization on the one side and the
oounty assessors on the other, which is
annually presented at the capital, is
now fairly on in a somewhat exagger
ated form. Tales of poverty are being
heard and eloquent pleas for meroy are
now made daily to the state equalizers.
All this consumes time, if it does not
prove effeotive. The value of railroad
property, as equalized by the county
boards in 1894 was $18,492,997: . for
1895 this is $12,548,825, a deoline of
$944,172, or nearly 7 per cent. Realty
in 1894 was $174,399,616: this year it
is $165,681,508, a decline of $8,718,
108, or nearly 5 per cent , Personal
property in 1894 was $28,425,833; this
year, $25,986,899, a difference of $2,-
438,434, or 8 1-2 per cent All of these
figures for 1895 are without Franklin
county, whose returns are not yet in,
Pierce oounty was before the' board
today in, the person of Proseouting At'
torney Coiner, Robert Wingate, the
county commissioners .and the county
assessor. - Regarding charges made
that Pierce oounty had been unjustly
treated a year ago, Auditor Grimes said
no wrong had been done and he oould
rely on the records to prove his asser
tion. Coiner said Pierce oounty people
felt they had been severely dealt with
in the matter of taxation. They had
looked at it as an aggregate proposi
tion. They thought their valuation
very large and arrived at the conclu
sion that it was the fault of the state
board; but, upon investigation, they
had concluded it was mostly their own
fault ; They felt, however, an injus
tice in the past had been done Pierce
and King counties in the classification
of lands as compared with other West
ern oounties. To summarize the desire
of the Pieroe oounty people, it would
appear that they are satisfied with the
assessment of that county on city and
town lots and improvements thereon,
but they want a new and more favor
able classification made by the state
board. ..
The following extract from the
school book contracts will prove par
ticularly interesting to retail dealers
throughout the state:
The Werner Company agrees to take
from retail dealers all saleable stock
which they have on their shelves, of
the books previously in use, correspond
ing to the grade and class of books
that the board selected, and give the
retailers the new books supplied by the
Werner Company, in exchange, dollar
for dollar; and also agree to , pay all
express on books sent and returned on
the above exchange.
Lovell & Co. agree to make even ex
change of new books now in the hands
of dealers in this state. Sheldon &
Co. agree that the books in the hands
of dealers whioh were displaoed by the
adoption of their publications will be
reoeived by ' them at the wholesale
price in Washington, and their books
furnished instead, at the same price,
dollar for dollar. ' -
THE JERSEY LILY. .
When Divorced and Tired of the Stage,
She Will Live In California.
San Franoisoo, Sept. 19. The Ex
aminer says that Mrs. Emile Charlotte
Langtry will today, through her at
torneys, Dunn & McPike, file an aotion
for divorce from her husband, Edward
Langtry, in the superior court of Lake
oounty, where the famous Jersey Lily
has considerable property. Her grounds
for divorce from Mr. Langtry are speci
fied as desertion and failure to provide
for his wife and daughter, a girl of 14.
The complaint further alleges that
there is no oommunity property and re
quests that the custody of the child,
Jeanne, be awarded to the mother.
It is understood that there will be no
oontest. Several days ago dispatches
from New York announced that the
firm of Howe & Hummell, of that oity,
had mailed to Dunn & McPike papers
to be filed, asking for a divorce in be
half of the Jersey Lily. Attorney Mo
Pike says that Mrs. Langtry is expect
ed to return to her home in Lake ooun
ty, as soon as she has become weary of
her histrionio ventures. The place
will be the center of a gay throng and
become the rendezvous for people of
distinction. From this it is believed
that Mrs. Langtry has definitely de
rided to abandon the stage. It is not
known that she contemplates a new
matrimonial venture, should her di
vorce be granted. She is expeoted to
reaoh San Franoisoo within six weeks.
, Port Townsend's oity government
cost $21,226 the past year, and the rev
enues from all sources were $8,853,
leaving a deficit of $12,873. Besides
this, the town owes $53,500, on old
warrants. Bonding is offered as a
remedy, and is variously viewed.
A PENSION INVESTIGATION.
National Council of the Grand Army
Has One In Mind.
Washington, Sept. 19. A meeting
of the national council of admimstra
tion of the G. A. R. has been called to
discuss the question whether a pension
granted a disabled soldier becomes a
vested right or is subjeot to. revision or
cancellation at the option of some offi
cer of the government ; It is the pur
pose of the order to bring suit to test
the question and to carry it to the su
preme oourt for final decision. In re
gard to this matter, Commissioner of
Pensions Lochren says: ' , .
"A pension is ; simply a bounty
granted by aot of congress. If it were
a vested right, congress could not in
terfere with it in any way. As a mat
ter of fact, the legislative power can
modify or repeal the ' pension laws
whenever it sees fit. To consider a
pension as a vested right is absurd.
The supreme court of the United States
has decided to the contrary three differ
ent times. All pension laws grant a
bounty during disability, but when the
disability stops, of oourse the pension
stops also. If a pension is shown to
have been obtained by fraud it ' would
be a strange thing if it could not be
canoeled. It would be a curious thing
if the commissioner of pensions oould
only increase pensions and could not
reduce them where fraud or manifest
infraction of the law is shown. The
law of December 21, 1893, makes a
pension a vested right until it is
ohanged, after notice to the pensioner
and a hearing before the commissioner.
That law is, of course, in effect now,
but its meaning is doubtfuL No right
can be a vested one whioh 'can be taken
away by a hearing before the commis
sioner of pensions or any one else.
Congress can undoubtedly pass a law
declaring a pension a vested right, but
the next congress could undoubtedly
repeal it ' .'
"In the now celebrated case of Judge
Long against me as commissioner, this
question of vested right in a pension
was repeatedly adjudioated by the
oourts, and always adversely. - In
Judge Long's case the pension had been
raised by Commissioner Tanner. If the
pension were a right and not a bounty,
it oould not be legally raised by the
commissioner. As a matter of fact,
the law of June 21, 1870, which abol
ished the biennial examinations, 1 ex
pressly provided that the commissioner
of pensions should have the same pow
er as before to order special examina
tions on notice to the pensioner and
then to increase or reduce the rating
acoording to law. A pension is( a
bounty granted by the government,
and it can be abolished or modified at
any time by any congress. " ' . '
ARlVIY AND NAVY.
The Fifteen-Inch Gun Will Penetrate
Any Plate That Is Made.
Washington, Sept 19. A successful
test was made today of the 15-inch gun
of the navy, as well as of the structure
of the battleship on whioh the heavy
armor is bolted. The plate was the
same as used in the test two weeks ago,
when it withstood the shots from the
12-inch gun, save for having been
cracked down the middle. The plate
was fourteen inches thick, of Harvey
ized steel. It was fastened to a struc
ture representing the side of a battle
ship. In today's test a Wheeling-Sterling
armor-piercing . shell, weighing
1,100 pounds, was fired from a 13-
inch rifle, with 480 pounds of powder,
a distance of 880 feet, with a velooity
of 1,800 feet a second. It struck the
plate on that portion uninjured by the
previous shots, cracking it into three
pieces, penetrating the plate and bulk
heads supporting it, and disappeared in
the sand. There was no doubt ex
pressed among the naval offioials that
the shot would have penetrated any
armor made, and in a ship equipped
with plate like that tested today, the
opinion was the shot would have pene
trated the ship and knocked the plate
off on the opposite side. While the
plate was penetrated, yet the officers
said the fact that it was cut through so
cleanly and so little shattered proved
it was equal to any plate yet made. It
had been claimed that if a shot should
pierce an armor plate that the struc
tural portion of the ship to which the
plate was bolted would be damaged for
twelve or fifteen feet along the ship's
side. The shot today upset this theory,
as it damaged the structure only
locally.' ' ' ", ' , v , '
There was some disoussion as to
whether a ship could be saved from
sinking after being pierced by such a
shot, the impression being that if a
ship did not sink she would surely be
disabled. A test was also begun of the
Colt's automatio rifle, whioh fires 400
shots per second. It will have to un
dergo a test of 800 shots without stop
ping. ;
: A Rebellion in Fo Kein.
Hong Kong, Sept. 18. It is reported
that a rebellion has broken out on the
border of the province of Fo Kien. The
insurgents are said to have ocoupied
the town of Hong Leng, from whioh
the officials fled, leaving the people to
the meroy of the insurgents. A de
tachment of imperial troops are ad
vancing to give battle to the insurgents.
FIVE ARE ON TRIAL
Alleged Lynchers in Court at
Ellensburg.
SEPARATE : TRIALS NOT, ASKED
Trial Delayed by an Objection to the
, Sheriff, Who Is Prosecuting Wit- ; ,
. ness. Selecting the Jury. ;
; Ellensburg, Wash., Sept. 18. The
trial of Mike Linder, Frank Ueblacher,
William Kennedy, Frank Fiegle .and
Robert Linke, the men charged with
murder in connection with the lynch
ing of the Vinsons, August 14, began
this morning in the superior court,
Judge Humes, ' of Seattle presiding.
The state is represented by E. E.
Wager, county attorney, assisted by
W. G. Graves, H. J. Snively, Edward
Pruyn, J. B. Davidson, Mires & War
ner and W. J. Welsh appeared for the
defendants. No demand was made for
separate trials and all of the prisoners
were arraigned together. The jury
box was at once filled from the regular
panel, twenty-two names being avail
able. Nine jurors had been passed for
cause, when the panel was exhausted.
Judge Humes announced he would
have the sheriff secure fifty names on
his open venire, but the defense ob
jected on the ground that such action
is contrary to a new law. The court
said he did not believe the legislature
contemplated blocking and delaying
the work of oourts, and he was will
ing, if wrong in the premises, to let
the supreme court correct him. The
defense then made the point that, as
the sheriff is a proseouting witness in
the case, having sworn to the com
plaints, he is not qualified to select a
jury. The oourt accepted that view,
but promptly instructed the clerk to
notify the coroner, who lives at Cle
Elum, to make service at the earliest
possible moment, and report to , the
oourt at 9:30 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing. This action was taken because
the coroner assumes the duties of sher
iff whenever the latter, through any
cause, beoomes disqualified. The com
plete jury was then ordered to be kept
together in the oustody of the two
baliffs, till reconvening of court. , -.-"
The general opinion at Ellensburg is
that the alleged lynchers cannot be
oonvioted, says the North Yakima Her
aid. , The main evidence against some
of the prisoners is that, after entering
the . jail, and becoming warm after
their efforts to break into the steel
cage, they tossed aside their masks.
The Herald's informant says it was the
intention of the self-oonstituted judges
and executioners to shoot the Vinsons
in the cage, but every time a candle
was lighted, so that only the two
against whom the mob sought ven
geance might be hit, young Vinson
would dash his blanket against the
grating, and the current of air would
"douse the glim." All this time Vin
son kept up a fusilade of curses, and
called the mob every abusive name he
could lay his tongue to, and even . to
the last he showed the same character
of courage that had marked him as a
desperado. : ' ' ;
Contracts for Battleships.
Washington, Septal 8, Commodore
Sampson, chief of the bureau of ord
nance, has made a report to the secre
tary of the navy on the recommenda
tion made by Chief Constructor Hich
born, that hereafter in letting con
tracts for the construction of vessels
the armor be jnoluded in the contract.
It is understood that the report is ad
verse to the recommendation, and that
many reasons are given for the belief
that the change would be unwise, the
principal being the necessity for con
stant supervision on the part of the
government to prevent the use of in
ferior armor. It is supposed that Sec
retary Herbert will take this question
up soon with the view of deciding it
before the work on the new battleships
and gunboats is begun. ' ?

Seattle, Sept. 18.- In consequence of
a petition from the property-owners on
Front and Second streets, which are
being paved with vitrified brick, ob
jecting to having electrio poles placed
within the sidewalk line, the board of

STATEMENT , BY SMITH.
He Lays Aside Side Issue and Talks to
the Point.
New York, Sept. .18. Ex-Commodore
James D. Smith, chairman of the
New York Yacht Club's committee, is
sued the following statement to the
press today:
I have nothing to say in answer to
Lord Dunraven's letter of September

Lord Dunraven' has given his letter to

"To strip this yacht question of all
side issues and special but important
pleadings by Lord Dunraven about con
ditions, old and new, which should not
have prevented him from racinc Val
kyrie to the finish of the match, the
glaring fact stands out that he did not
do his duty to the Royal Yacht squad
ron, who made the challenge for him,
to the English people, nor to his sup
porters, nor to himself. He prevented
the Defender from showing her power
and speed in, the second and third
raoes, thus giving the syndicate thatl
built her no opportunity of displaying
her superiority over the challenging
vessel. : . .. -
Lord Dunraven had the personal
right to deoline to resail the protested
race of September 10 in a written or
unwritten offer to him ' by Mr. Iselin,

which he did decline. He had also the
same personal right to start his yaoht
across the line September 12 and with
draw her from the race as he did, leav
ing Defender to go over the course

ECKELS TOO FAR AWAY.
He Can Say Nothing or Interest Re-
gardlng tt Bond Issue.
London, Sept' 18. The Hon. James
E. Eckels, controller of the United
States ourrenoy, , made the - following
statement today on the request of a rep
resentative of the Associated Press:
"Being thus far away from New
York, and not knowing the exact con
ditions prevailing there whioh are
producing the shipment of gold abroad,
I feel I can say nothing upon that sub
jeot which will be of special benefit to
the public ' Generally speaking, these
gold shipments oome about from the
fact that the American people, are buy
ing a great deal abroad and not selling
sufficient of their own produots to
equalize things, thus necessitating a
settlement of the balance due in gold.
We maintain a financial system which
makes the United States treasury a
general market of supply for all re
quiring gold, consequently more or less
embarrassment comes to the adminis
tration of the treasury department
when those balanoes require to be set
tled. However, the treasury has al
ways managed to maintain unquestion
ed payment in gold of its obligations,
and always will do so. The system
under whioh it is forced to operate
makes it sometimes expensive to do so,
but so long as the representatives in
congress refuse to change that "system,
and so long as the voters tolerate them,
the people have no right to complain
of the expense." : ,
New York, Sept 18. Assistant
Treasurer Conrad N. Jordan says in re
lation to the printed story about the
probable issue of government bonds:
, "I have been a party to no discussion
on' the subject with Mr. Curtis nor
anyone else, except in a informal,
gossipy way, and have not attended a
formal conference. A great : many' of
our leading financiers, including J.
Pierpont Morgan, do not consider a
new government loan advisable at this

Outlaw Henry Starr Convicted.
Fort Smith, Ark., Sept 19. It took
a jury in the United States oourt one
hour to oonvict Henry Starr, the young
bandit chief tan, of the murder of
Floyd Wilson. The killing took place
eight miles west of Nowata, December
12, 1893. Starr was just beginning
his career as an outlaw, and his only
venture outside of holding up private
individuals and looting stores had been
the robbery of an express office at No
wata. ; The express company sent H.
C. Dickey and Floyd Wilson after him.
Wilson met Starr and in the duel fol
lowing Wilson was killed. He was
wounded at the first fire, and his Win
chester refused to work, but he pluckt
ily kept up the battle with his revolver
until Starr killed him. Starr formed
a band out of followers of . Bill Dalton
and was very successful. He is still a
beardless youth, tall, slender and , ath

THE DREADED CHOLERA
Quarantine to Be Established
: at the State Line.
CALIFORNIA AUTHORITIES BUSY
No Fear of Introduction of the Disease
. by Steamer, but Not So Certain
of the Railroads.
San Franoisoo, Sept. 17. The local
health officers are seriously consider
ing the establishment of quarantine
stations at the north and south lines of
the state along the railroads. The
plan will be considered at the joint
meeting of the local board of health,
the surgeons of the United States ma
rine service and the ' state board of
ghealth, to be held in a few days. Those
wnose duty it is to looir alter the sani
tary condition of the city and prevent
the introduction and spread of epi
demic diseases are thoroughly aroused
to the danger which is threatened to
the oity and state by the Close proxim
ity of Asiatio cholera. As already an
nounced, the board of health has de-,
clared Honolulu an infected port, and
hereafter all vessels from there will be
detained and thoroughly fumigated.
The members of the board of health
do not fear the introduction of cholera
through the medium of the steamers
and other vessels from infected ports,
because they consider the quarantine
already established and in force will :
form a perfect safeguard, but they are
not so certain about the railroads.
Some of the members consider that the
greatest danger lies in those who are -landed
in other ports and reach this
oity by rail. , Already the subjeot has
been earnestly disoussed, and the prop- .
osition to establish the quarantine sta
tions at the points named will be urged
at the coming joint conference.' '
, Under the act of congress of Febru
ary, 1893, the federal marine hospital
service is given general' supervision of
all quarantining. The local surgeons
of the servioe have announced their in
tention to oo-operate with the state
and city authorities in keeping out of
the country infected persons or articles.
- There is a provision in the act giv
ing the marine hospital officers author
ity to place effeotive quarantine ma
chinery in operation wherever the state
and local quarantine services are inad-
equate or inefficient If the quaran
tine stations are established in the north
and south extremes of the state, it will
be done under authority , conferred by
the act
, In disoussing the situation Dr. Love
laoe, the health officer, said :
"The board of health fully realizes
the grave duty devolving , upon it to
use the most rigorous means to guard
against the approach of cholera. The
United States and state authorities
have joined with us, and we feel con
fident that we will succeed m keeping ,
the disease from getting in our midst
We understand that we cannot do too
muoh to protect the people, and every
means within our reach s will be used.
Every vessel from an infected port
will be subjected to rigid inspection,
and will be held in quarantine jintil
passengers and cargo are thoroughly
fumigated. The action of the vessels
on the water front will be closely
watched, as will also the Chinese quar
ter. . There seems no doubt about the
epidemic at Honolulu being Asiatio
cholera, and it is a desperate disease to
fight" - v:
Work of a Miscreant.
San Franoisoo, Sept. 17. A vicious '
attempt to burn "Bottle Koenig's"
theater, on Montgomery avenue, was
made, early this morning. About 5
o'clock the place was found in flames,
which were, however, soon extinguish-
ed with slight damage to the property.
It was found that some one had taken
off the tips of twelve gasburners, and,
then lighting the gas, had turned ; the
flames against the woodwork. In the
basement the cap had been unscrewed
from the gaspipe and the lighted gas
was so directed toward the woodwork.
Overhead, in the New Atlantio hotel,
were 150 people : all asleep, and, ' had
not the fire been promptly discovered
and extinguished, there would have ,
ben a frightful catastrophe. ' : :
