ARRESTED AS A SPY.
A Youthful Wolverine Rounded
Un by BaVarian Police.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 12.-About
three years ago A. l.. Bressler, son of
Detroit millionaire, went to Germany
for pleasure and to study the army. He
took with him abroad letter of intro
duction to United States Minister Pen
dleton, at Berlin, and also letter from
the secretary of war, attesting that
Bressler was interested in army mat
tiers. While student at Ann ArbOr he
Joined the state militia, and was elected
second lieutenant. He procured two or
three uniforms of his rank, and word
came back that he was cutting quite
swath in German army circles with his
fine military clothes and bearing, the
generous display of wealth, and the
letters he had with him from
prominent government officials and citi-
zens OF the United States. 1t was un-
derstoOd in Detroit that Mr.. BresSler,
ST., allowed his son 5000 month for the
expenses of his foreign trip; also that
young BresSler was engaged in writing
a book on military affairs. The report
from Munich that he has been ARE sted
there for making false representations
and neglecting to pay divers bills is
great surprise, not only to the members
of his family, but all his AGO uaintances,
and, furthermore, the charge is not be-
lieved. The general impression among
his friends and military men in the city
is that he has been arrested as a SPY.
The material in his possession wouid
very thoroughly confirm such suspic-
ion and be valuable to an unfriendly
power. He was keeping very minute
memoranda of all he saw and heard, the
method and plans of the military depart
ments. Charles T.. Bressler, father of
the young man, sailed for Europe last
Wednesday. He had not heard of his
boys trouble, but will be telegraphed to
go on at once to Munich and see what
the trouble is.

band. She led each child up to the
CHASTITY corpse. and still with that aw-
full silence which had marked her from
the beginning of her bereavement, led
them away to the little hut which had
sheltered them in the past. No atten-
ton was paid to her by those who were
busy with the dead and dying. but
about midnight cry of fire from the
village of Frontenac gathered crowd
of workers from the mine to
the streets. 1t was seen that the Ber-
thune cabin was in flames, and willing
hands were soon at work to save the
inmates. The eldest child, girl of
nine years, succeeded in escaping from
family, and her story was one
that sent thrill OF horror
through her hearers. She said
that her mother sent each of the
children to bed with kiss, and then
sat down near the stove. The girl
could not sleep and lay watching her
mother. who, after sitting for some
time, took the can of coal oil and poured
it over herself and the bedclOthes of
the children. The grief-stricken wo-
man then set fire to some paper and
scattered it about the room, and soon
the whole place was in flames. The
daughter struggled short time with
her IN an endeavOr to get away, but the
burning oil on her mothers clothes
caused such intense heat that she soon
relaxed her grasp. The girl finally
managed to get out of the door when
she fell exhausted and frightfully
burned. The cabin burned like tinder
and soon nothing was left but the glow
ing embers, from which were raked the
the charred bodies of the insane mother
and her four children.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Now v.12.-Senator Quay
and Col. Dudley avoided the Republi-'
can league headquarters this morning.
Senator Malone is at Chamberlain's,
and they were with him talking about
the state of affairs in Virginia. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Malone believes
that it can be shown that the Republl-
cans have actually carried Virginia as
we'll as West Virginia, and that they
have elected more congressman from
the state than they are credited with.
1t is MIR. Quay's determination that the
victory shall be as complete as possible,
and that no party interest shall be
neglected. Close congressional dis
tricts, as we'll as the national ticket, are
to be looked after. A majority of votes
is claimed by the Democrats for Cromp-
ton, of Maryland, and he will doubtless
receive the certificate. OF election. But
already the Republican committee is IN
formed of thirteen votes that should, 1t
is said, be thrown out, and this alone
would give Mudd the seat in contest
before the house. The Republicans are
also very confident of being able to show
the defeat of Wise, of Virginia.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12-The Whitechapel
butcheries in London were recalled this
morning in this city by the finding of
the naked body of a well-developed
male infant upon the lake shore. The
head had been cleanly severed from the
body by stroke from some sharp in
strument, and was missing. Not the
slightest clue to the identity of the
murderer has been obtained by the po-
lice. What adds to the mystery is the
fact that the murderer left the body
where it was sure to be discovered
within a very short time, instead of
throwing it into the lake, which was
only a few feet distant.

The Governor Of Alaska Talks
About the Territory.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The gov.
ernor of Alaska, A. P. Swineford, In
his annual report to the secretary OF the
interior. states that the white popuia-
tion has greatly increased, and he eStl-
mates that there are $4,000 natives.
The total population is 1850, and OF
this number there are $500 WhiteS,.
1900 creOleS, and 1900 AlOuts. In re-
gard to the settlement OF the public
lands, the governor states that all SET
tiers in Alaska upon the public lands
are mere SouatterS who are awaiting
legislation from congress which will en-
able them to secure titles. All the salmon
factories in the territory, seventeen IN
number are located on the public lands.
He asks favorable consideration by the
department. of the bill now pending be-
fore congress providing for the Organl-
Zation of the territory. The governor
says that as far as he knows there arc
no practical farmers or gardeners i'll the
territory. The only obstacle in the way
of agriculture in the opinion of the gov
ernor is that the lands are not available
for settlement. He says that the eli
mate is favorable, and the soil rich. lie
sees no reason why Alaska may not ul-
timately rival Montana and Wyoming
as a cattle country. The stamp mill Oh
Douglass island. which the report states
is the largest in the world, has an eStl-
mated output of S150.000 in gold per
month. Other gold
MINES ARE BEING DEVELOPED
in the same island. and the report notes
the sale of four claims for $1,000. .00e.3
Promising silver discoveries have been
made. The governor thinks that there
is enough coal IN the territory to sup
ply the whole of the United States for
centuries. There are fourteen public
schools in Alaska, which last year were
placed under the charge of the terri
torial board The governor reconl-
mends that the general agent be made
more amenable to the authority of
the board of which he is a mem-
Der and the secretary. Last
year, the report states, the gem
eral agent was absent for six
months from the territory with
out leave. In addition to the
public schools, there are eight Pro-
testant, two Catholic and seventeen
Greco Russian mission schools. The
governor reiterateS the charges made in
the last annual report relative to the
violation of law and the i'll treatment of
the natives by the agents of the Alaska
Commercial company. He credits the
company with adhering faithfully to its
contract with the goyernmentras to the
number of seals to be killed on the seal
islands and the treatment of the natives
there, but elsewhere in the territory, he
says, where the company rule is su-
preme, the people are little better than
Serfs of that powerful company"

years ago the deceased was the proprie-
tor Of the Metropolitan hotel at St.Paul,
MINI. The property then. which was
free from membranes, was valued at
SS5,0G0. He conducted an extensive
hotel business, and through his con-
genial ways managed to obtain
large patronage from the
transient classes. About 1879
he found himself independently
on his banking house for 100000 and it
would have been honored. But the
time was not far distant when things
took decided change. The colonel,
like many others, speculated in wheat.
In the fall OF 1876 he started in buying
shorts, and when the bottom fell out off
the market he TO und himself not only
completely tied up, but financially
ruined. He issued his notes in pay
lnent, which soon followed by mort
cages, and in the following sping he
was dispossessed of his entire estate
and turned out upon the cold charity of
the world. A financial wreck, he
