Sioux CITY, To-, Dec. 21.-Local ply
sicians are somewhat agitated over the
appearance of disease, which may be
the Russian influenza, or something
else very like it. 1t is not serious
malady, being just violent enough to
produce a lassitude, which demands a
day or two of rest and quiet to over
come. The malady has taken hold of
clerks and people who work indoors
particularly, and in one store eight out
fifteen clerks have been attacked. 1t
is the theory that the germs of the dis
ease were imported in bales or boxes
of goods from New York city, where

CHICAGO, December 29th.-Mr. Liebes
the San Francisco furrier, who was in Chi
cago Friday on his way TO the coast, talked
at length to reporter regarding the ad
vertisement of the Secretary of the Treas.
ury for the leasing Of the Alaska seal
cries.
The new lease of the seal islands" saiG
Mr.. Liebes, will be made for twenty years
The parties securing it will have to pay
royalty to the Government of 81 more pei
pelt than now, and will be limited to 6
catch of GO coo seals per year instead Of
100000, as under the present lease. You
see this decrease in the yearly supply is
bound to make seal fur scarce and higher
Five-sixths of the worlds supply of seal
skins comes from the Alaska Commercial
Company. To reduce their output 40 per
cent. at one swoop means almost a seal
famine in year or two, and then look out
for high prices"
''Will the Alaska Company be likely to
get renewal of their lease?'
Yes, l think so. They already have a
sealing plant and can bid more for the
lease than anybody else, but their profits
will not be so large as formerly. / am
only very small stakeholder myself, SO il
does not matter much, but men like Louis
Sloss, John Rosenfeldt and the estate of ex-
Senator John F. Miller of San Francisco
viii feel the effect of the squeeze. How
ever, the Alaska Company is an enor-
mouly rich concern and can stand the
new terms.
by the new lease their revenue will be
cut off fully fifty per cent. They will have
to maintain schools at the Seal islands and
pay all expenses of police administration
among the Aleuts, and pay the seal fisher
men more than twice the amount they do
now. On the other hand they can take no
more than 10000 seals per year.
Another year the illicit fisheries in
Behring sea will be suppressed 1t will be
insisted by the lessess of the Seal islands
that the Government do this. and therefor
another source of supply will be cut off y

Cannot Return There,

''Brazil, that Beautiful Country, but
Cannot Return There"
OPoRTo, December 29:h.-Dom Pedro
has received many telegrAms Of con.
dolenee on the death Of his WIFE Among
them was one from Queen Victoria.
When it became evident the end was
rapidly approaching, the ex Empress was
advised to summon her confessor. Al.
though in great sgony she replied, 'Yes
but We must await the Emperor, be will
give the Instructions"
Her last words were: II regret that my
children and grandchildren are not around
me that l might bless them for the last
time. Alas! Brazil. Brazil, that beauti.
ful country, l cannot return therei"
Dom Pedro rose early this morning and
attended mass. He was greatly detected
and so weak that his doctors were Obliged
to support him. Much anxiety is felt fol-
his condition.
When Dom Pedro arrived beside his
dead wife he knelt and kissed her fore.
head. He appeared unable TO move. aud
did not speak for twenty minutes. Then
he said II have experienced the moss
bitter trial God could infiict upon me. Her
faithful and aitectionate companionshir
has sustained me for forty six years
Gods will be done"
Then, noticing his wife's eyes were still
open, he lost command of himself and ex-
claimed, Is it possible those dear, kind
eyes will never again brighten when they
see me?'
Having closed the eyelids he reverently
kissed them, and then asked to be alone.
and so remained for q long time, after
which he became calm and asked the at
tendants to keep all quiet until the Lisbon
ietes had ended. The news had. however,
already been sent everywhere.
Later in the evening Dom Pedro sent dis
patches, announcing the death Of his wife,
to various monarchs. The Brazilian Min
lister at Lisbon has notified the Provisional
Government in Brazil of the death Of the
ex-Empress.
To-day the body was embalmed and
transferred to the Chapelle Ardente. The
interment will be in the Pantheon.

POTTER VALLEY MURDER.
Story of an Eyewitness to the Killini
of Carter.

UKIAH, December 29th.-An eyewitness
to the homicide in Potter valley gave the
following facts: Mr.. Carter, an old and
highly respected citizen of CentervIlle, in
Potter valley, had been boarding his moth
erless child with Mis-. Frank Lowner, and
the latter bad asked Carter for payment of
the child's board bill. Carter replied that
he had no money at present, but would pay
her in few days.
Mrs. Lowner became very angry and as
saulted Carter, scratching his face and biting
him. He got out of her way as soon as
possible. Then she went and reported the
circumstances to her husband. He imme-
diately got his revolver and sought out
Carter. The latter was in the immediate
vicinity of the first difficulty.
Lowner walked up to Carter and said
"Why did You hit my wife 2''
The reply was, II did not strike your
wife, sir" whereupon Lowner drew his
pistol and shot Carter in the right side,
from the effects of which Carter died in
about thirty minutes.
As soon as the citizens realized what had
occurred there were cries for a rope and
shouts of I'VE will hang the murderer -
and a rush was made for him, bnt he
escaped by catching horse and riding to
Ukish, where he gave himself up to the
authorities for protection.

BRAZILIAN AFFAIRS.
Dom Pedro's Property Was Not Confis-
Gated as Reported.

Gated as Reported.
WASHINGTON, December 29;h-Tbe Bra
lillian Minister to day received cablegram
from Barboza, Minister of Finance, regard
ing the statements repeatedly made that the
Provisional Government of Brazil had con-
fiscated the property belonging to the EN-
peror.
1t says the property belonging to the I'M
perial family has lot been confiscated. On
the contrary, a decree has guaranteed to
allow the Imperial family term of two
years in which to dispose of lis property.
The Brazilian Minister and Captain Mau-
ritti, delegate to the Maritime Congress,
who was present when the Associated Press
reporter called to see the Minister, declared
their firm belief that the republic was SIS
sured beyond question. The reports of
trouble, they said were all patched up in
Lisbon by the enemies of the republic.
With regard to the reports that the Ger
man and ether c0lonists had petitioned
their Governments for protection against
the decree of the Provisional Government,
Valente and Captain Mauritti said this was
a mistaken understanding of the intention
of the Government. The decree issued de-
clared all foreigners resident within the
country at the time the Republic was pro-
claimed to be citizens of Brazil, unless taey
preferred to continue their allegiance to
,heir own country. There Was nothing
compulsory about it.

Mother and Father and Nine Children
Burned to Death.
DETROIT (Mich), December 29th.-A
Tribune special from Hancock, Michigan
says: A calamity not surpassed in the an
nails of the country occurred at 8 O'clock
this morning. At Hurontown, family
named Gross consisting of the parents and
eight children, with a visitor were con-
sumed in burning building.
Theodore Gross and wife returned from
dance near by at , o'clock. At 2:30 A. NJ
the son, Theodore, Jr., returned from the
Huron stamp mills where he is employed
He went into the house and to bed
Shortly after he was awakened by his
brother, Nicholas. who heard screams
coming from an adjoining room, occupied
by their three sisters and three little broth
ers. They ran to the door and found the
room mass of flames. Smoke and fire
were ascending the stairway, and the boys
escaped by jumping through window
They reached the ground seriously cut by
glass and but scantly clad
One attempted to enter the house on the
ground floor, where the father and mother
and two children slept, but was driven
back by the flames that enveloped the
building. 1t was impossible for the spec
tators, who quickly gathered, to save the
inmates, and they were compelled to stand
by and hear their agonizing cries.
In the course of three hours a seal ching
party went over the rooms and discovered
the charred remains of the eleven bodies,
distinguishable only by their size. They
Were gathered in sleigh box and depos-
tied in the public hall, The victims were
Theodore Gross, aged 81; his wife, aged Al;
Catherine, John, Toney, Mary, Lizzie, Jo-
seph, Michael, Lenie, all children of Mr.
and Mrs. Gross, and Lena Erbst of SAKE
Linden, guest. The ages of the young
people range from to % years.
There is no reliable information as 10
how the fire started. Theodore Gross, Jr.,
says it might have originated from lamp
he supposed he extinguished before he
went to bed. There are rumors that the
dreadful accident occurred through the
carelessness OF the parents, who are alleged
to have returned home intoxicated from
the dance.
