Then she became de ,thly sick with pains in
her limbs and muscles This was succeeded
by bronchial catarrh, sore less of the throa /
and coughing, followed by fever and an
exceedingly rapid pul,e. which at times
reached 100 to the minute. Since then
seven other members of tho family have
been attacked by tho disease In all the
cases the symptoms are said to be identic al.

WASHINGTON, Dec 16.-Secretary of the
Treasury Window has decided to refuse the
renewal Of lease to the Alaska Com
mercial Company, which since 1870 has had
monopoly of the Alaska seal fisheries, to
the exclusion of all other seal hunters.
Secretary Window has decided to throw
the privilege open to general competition,
and will advertise for bids, preparatory to
letting the lease to the highest bidder,
or any company which will give
the largest sum and guarantee to
the government. By an act of the last

renew the lease of the old company, or give
the privilege to whom he pleased AS the
Alaska Company had big and infiue tal
lobby here to effect the passage of tho law
to leave the entire matter with the secre-
tary, Secretary Window, with due caution,
decided to risk no charges of favoritism,
but chose to give every bidder an even
