PARADISE FOR sALooNIsTs.
Whisky Is Sold to Alaskans De-
spite the Law.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Lyman E.
Knapp, the governor of Alaska, in his
annual report to Secretary Noble, says
that the law prohibiting the sale and
manufacture OF Intoxicating liquors in
the territory is dead letter, except as
to the indians. Liquors of the vilest
quality are sold openly and in violation
of the law, even to those whose fam
lilies are suffering for the necesSaries of
life. The reason assigned for the in
efficiency of the law. the governor says,
is that prosecutions would be of no
and petit juries refuse to con-
vict. Legislation which would pro-
vide more effective machinery
for the enforcement of the pres
ent law would undoubtedly. the
governor thinks, afford a solution of the
perpleXing question. He calls attention
to the inadequacy of the laws for the adj
ministratiOn of justice, preserving the
peace and holding criminals for trial,
and recommends that commission,
consisting i'll part at least of gentlemen
acquainted with the country and it's
needs, be appointed to prepare a short
code of special laws to be submitted to
congresS-thuS, he thinks. some of the
The work OF the government schools, of
which there are fourteen, the governor
says, are meaSurably satisfactory,
| though the attendance was not large,
| the children preferring to hunt and
| fish, and the parents Indifferent. About
10000 full-siZed sealskins were taken by
the Alaska Commercial company during
the year Under their contract with
the government; and probably half
as many more were captured
at sea and stolen by poaching
vessels. Other furs, such as bear, mink,
otter, ETC., are taken in large numbers.
The cOdfishing industry. though not in
significant, is stated to be far from what
it should be. Some of the exports due
in the last year are enumerated below:
| WhalebOne, 81, ,159,905; whale oil, S172,-
| 500; Goldfish, $555, 600; salmon, 1885,
900; gold (estimated), S2,0OO.OO fur
seal, S2.000,000. All other exports suffl-
cient to make the total $3.50, ,73O. Con-
| siderable activity has been manifested,
but no excitement, in connection with
the various mining interests. The gov
| ernOr recommends that provision for ac-
quiring title to land be afforded by the
| general government; that mail facili-
| ties be increased; that government hos
| pitals be established. Authorized rep
resentation in congress, the governor
says, should be provided. The presence
| in Washington every winter, he says, of
unauthorized persons assuming to voice
the sentiment of the people. and by their
mistakes Ito use no stronger term), is,
he says, doing Infinite mischief; hence
the recommendation as to authorized
! representation.

BUENos AYRES, Oct. IA panic was
caused mere last night by rumor that
fresh revolution had broken out. The
troops were called out and detachments
of cavalry patrolled the streets dur
ing the night. The minister Of
war went to Palermo Park, where the
troops were mustered. Gen. Roca, min
lister of the interior. remained in Presi-
dent Pellergrini S residence until a..
m. to-day: The police were rapidly
armed with Remington rifles and held
In readiness at the central station. The
rumOr caused intense excitement in the
theaters and clubs. The cause of the
alarm was a police agents report
that attempts had been made by
sergeants to suborn two regiments.
The public is confident that the govern
ment will maintain order, but the sit
uatlOn is graver than was at first sup
posed. A special train was dispatched
to Zarate al midnight for reinforce
ments of artillery. which arrived this
morning. Many deputies and senators
passed the night at the presi-
dents house, while it is stated
that the minister of war took
both the president and minister
Roca to the Palermo barracks for safety.
Meanwhile Admiral Bordero prepared
the fleet for action. The troops at Pal
ermo park were reinforced to-day. The
president has just ordered the troops to
proceed to Santa Catalina and go into
camp. Only one regiment will be left

ton in La Plata have been dispelled.

SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, Oct. T.
During the last three weeks numerous
houses in this city have been entered,
frequently valuables stolen and other
acts of depreciation committed. Stores
are constantly being entered, goods
stolen, and there is no clue to robbers.
To-day many hundred dollars worth Of
diamonds and jewelry, as well as much
money, is missing in various parts of
the city. Search and inquiry for long
time was fruitiess. 1t was thought that
an organized gang of thieves infested
the city, and vigilant lookout for the
marauders was instituted without de-
velOpment. 1t happened to-day that
Frank Hennessy, the ten-year-old son
of wealthy citizen, was caught in the
act of stealing goods from store and
arrested. At the same time Tommy
Jenkins, Charley Kenny and Johnnie
Brady, all under twelve years of age,
were caught at the same work. They
are children of prominent citizens, and
their arrest created a great sensation.
All were arraigned before Judge Denny
and admitted to $4,000 bail, which was
promptly given by the parents, who de-
sire that the matter be suppressed. 1t
is thought that the frequent burglaries
of recent date are traceable to them.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Oct. Tn
spite of the denials of the owners and

has been chartered by the government,
and is now on her way to OunalaSka to
intercept the sealing schooners sup
posed to be there. The revenue cutter
Oliver Wolcott left here early Thursday
morning and proceeded to Port Angeles,
where she laid until Saturday night
about $50 o'clock, when the Bertha,
which had left San Francisco Tuesday,
dropped alongside the cutter. The two
months store of supplies were hurriedly
transferred from the Wolcott to the
Bertha. Capt. Glover then took charge
of the Bertha, according to orders,
while Lieut.. Wiley brought the VOL
colt back to this port, where she now
lies. Lieut.. Benham, of San Francisco,
is also on board the Bertha. The latter
took out clearance papers for Kodiak.
but will not go there at all. The Bertha
sails direct for Ounalaska, and will
cruise at once in Behring sea, where

has instructions to seize all poachers

WEST SUPERIOR. Wis. Oct. ii.
Fred Twitchell, secretary of the West
Superior Trotting association, manager
of the local ball club, and general all
round sport. is missing, and numerous
prominent citizens are mourners. The
direct cause of Twitchel's fight is at
tributed TO his failure to back the win
ners during the recent racing meeting
here. The story, as told by those who
are said to be in position to know, is
that Twitchell has been playing in ex-
ceedingly hard luck of late. During
the recent race meeting he conceived
the brilliant idea of ''squaring" the
jockeys in one of the races and reaping
a rich harvest in consequence. The
jockeys, in consideration of $1,000 to be
paid by Twitchell, were to allow Ger
tain horse to win. Twitchell backed
this horse to the extent of about thou
sand dollars, but when the race occurred
his horse failed to come in winner,
and, as the money he had used
belonged to the racing association,
he should make it good. Fred is report
ed to be no Slouch in game of draw,
and Friday night he sat in to game in
the hope of playing even, but luck was
against him and he quit the game about
$500 loser. AS last desperate resort
he endeavored to get back some of his
losses at one of the faro banks in this
city, but his ill luck still clung to him,
and in short while S400 more had been
dropped. The next day Twitchell
disposed of half interest in his gam
bling rooms in this city and decamped
and has not been seen since. 1t was
reported to-day that the gamblers of this
city had chipped in $1,000 to help make
good the shortage to the racing assoc-
alton. and that Twtchell, who was in
| st. Paul, had raised the balance from
friends in that city and that
he would return tomorrow and
settle up. The story is discredited by
others, however, as it is believed that
| Twitchell's shortage" amounts to con-
siderably more than $4,000. An ex-
mayor of Duluth is reported to be out
an even thousand by reason of
Twitchell's flight, while Superiorites
are out sums ranging from $500 down.
| Of course, all OF these gentlemen are
| exceedingly reticent regarding the
| affair, but one of them said to-day:

WINNIE WILL NOT WE'D.
Her Engagement to Wilkinson
Said to Be Off.


SYRACUSE. N. Y, Oct. IA great
deal of interest was aroused here to-day
when a press dispatch from New Or
leans announced that the engagement
between Alfred Wilkinson, of Syracuse.
and Winnie Davis had been broken.
The wedding was announced for last
month. Later it was said the nuptials had
been postponed until next June at the
request of Mrs. Jefferson Davis. Mr..
Wilkinson is out OF town. When a re-
porter called at the Wilkinson house he
saw Miss Rebecca Wilkinson, and asked
if it were true that the engagement had
been broken. as stated in the New Or
leans telegram. Without asking for
details of the dispatch Miss Wilkinson
matter. 1t is nothing for the pub
lie to know about, anyway" Thomas
Emery, at whose home Miss Davis
was guest when she first met Mr..
Wilkinson, said the family had not
heard from Miss Davis for some time
and evaded a direct reply to the ques-
ton whether the engagement had been
broken. 1t is believed the financial re-
verses of the Wilkinson family and the
destruction of their old homestead by
fire in July have had something to do
with the broken engagement. About
the time of Miss Davis return from
Europe a gentleman of financial stand
ing here received request from the
South for information concerning Alfred
Wilkinson and his family. The person
of whom the inquiry was made under
stood it had something to do with Mr..
Wilkinson's relations with Miss Davis,
and he answered at length. The points
touched upon by the inquiry related to
his standing In his profession, his in
come, and the failure of Wilkinson &
Co. The inquirer wanted to know how
the Wilkinsons stood before the failure,
and how that event was regarded by
the community. ALI these inquiries
were answered, and it is believed this
had something to do with the broken
