New York. Dec 3. Now that there
Is no longer any mystery concerning

fragments of the body may be hur
ried. The trunk,legs and arms of the
man, which wero found in three par
cels, have been kept in plcklo at the
morgue In readiness tone produced In
court, if needed during the trial. The
confessions of the prisoners made the
Identification f the remains unnecessary.
Guldcnsuppi was a member of a
German benovolent society, and It la
said that this organization lias re

IS IMPRACTICABLE.
Provisions Cannot Be Carried Overland
To Dawson.
Chicago, Dec. 3. G. Yr. Bushncll
of the North American Transporta
tion Company, says that tho plans to
send a relief expedition to the Klon
dike arosuro to como to naught. Ic
will be Impossible, ho sayn, to carry
overland enough provisions to satisfy
6000 men, no matter how well equipped
the expedition may be. The only two
practicable methods of traveling over
that territory in winter are by means
of dogs or reindeer, but it Is a well-
known fact that dogs can haul no
more on a long Journey than their own
food. Tho trained reindeer are so
scarce that to rely on these for the
expedition is out of the question.
Mr, Bushncll docs not think, though
that the miners are In nny danger of
starving. It is known that a few of
them may have to livo for a short
time on half rations, but he says that
will boTall.
Another Letter From Dawson.
San Francisco, Dec. 3. Edgar L.
Straus?, of this city, n member of tho
Pacific stock exchange, has received a
letter from his brother-In-law, James
W. Monlson, who Is now at Dawson
City, which confirms tho news of the
scarcity of fo d on the Klondike,
lie says:
"The steamer Bella arrived, bring
ing about 80 tons of provisions, but
still that will not bo sufficient. The
authorities have posted notices advis
ing all persons not supplied with a
year's provision to go to Circle City
or Fort Yukon, where provisions aro
to bo had. Tho stores are closed.
Tho cargo of tho Bella won't begin
to fill half tho orders."
The amount of provisions taken to
Dawson on too Wearo is placed at
68 tons.
Must Comply With the Law.
Chicago, Dec. 3. John Atkinson,
tho famous boncsottcr from London,
may have a short career in Chicago.
Tho state board of health has warned
him ho must comply with tho law
regulating medical practice in Illi
nois. Tho law requires that a phy
sician shall have a diploma from a
college- recognized by tho board or
shall pass an examination by the
board
"I have been permitted to practice
In Now York, London and Parle, "said
Mr. Atkinson-, "and I had no notice
f such interference here."
Counsel has been engaged by At

Decision By Gage.
Washington, Dc.' 3. The secre
tary of the treasury decided that tho
Netherlauds'government pays bounty
on raw -and refined sugars exported
from that country and thence, under
tho now tariff act, all sugars from
tho Netherlands entering thc'.TJnlted
States arc subject to a discriminating
duty equal to the export bounty
paid Tho exact rate of this counter
vailing duty has not yet bcn de
finitely .ascertained, but it Is said
that It will approximate 40 cents per
100 pounds on raw sugar and a slight
advance on those figures on refined.
It is known that tho sccictary has
also comn to tho conclusion that 'tne
Belgian government pays an export
bounty on sugar, and a decree to this
effect may bo expected In a short
time.
The additional duties will apply
from September 22 last.
The amount of raw sugar Imported
from tho Netherlands during tho last
year was over 88,000,000 pounds, of
which about 25,600,000 was not aboyc
No. 10 Dutch standard, and 62,700,000
above that number. Tho sugar im

ed that the schooner carried a cargo
of arms and ammunition from Thew

Another Crop of French Duels,
Nkw Yokk, Dec. 3 A dispatch to

It will be a wonder if tho Dreyfus
Ejterhazy affair Is not productive of a

The editor of one publishing com
