A DICKER WITH UNCLE SAM.
Alaska Capitalists Offer $14, 900, 600 for
the Territory.


the Territory.
Capt. James Carroll, of Sitka, Alaska,
is in Washington. Capt. Carroll was
chosen by the territorial convention
held at juneau in October last to
represent the territory as delegate
in Congress, provided that body should
see fit to grant it the right OF
representation. The country, he said,
undoubtedly needed a representative
in Congress, but if that body denied it
to the people there are other things
which it should grant as matter Of
simple Justice to relieve the people of
grievances which were fast gro wing in
tolerable. These grievances be detailed
at some length. He said all the con-
gressmen with whom be talked seemed
very favorable to granting the requests
N the memorial. He also spoke of a
the part Of sordid citizens of the terri
tory, if Congress did not think Alaska
Of enough Importance to give it svs-
tenn of jurisprudence and all the iacili-
ties and rights it had granted every
other outlying settlement of the gov
eminent. He was empowered to offer
the sum of $14 ,000,000 Tor the territory,
and would pay it over in $50 gold pieces
on the shortest sort of notice.
This was S7.500,0O0 more than it
cost, not to speak of the big
yearly profits the government had taken
Tor sealing privileges. The offer, he
said, was bona fde, and he was sure II
those making the offer had complete
ownership, whatever flag was raised
they could secure the people the bless
ing of popular government, unham-
pered by the annoying defects of the
present system, which worked useless
hardships and clOgged DEVELOPMENT.

made by only few of the Indians, who
were quickly repulsed, with loss of
two killed and several wounded. Three
of the Cheyenne Indian scouts were
wounded, and it is thought that one
is fatally hurt. The second attack
was made after dark by what

on both sides, and desultory fire was
kept up for an hour or more. 1t is nos
known how many of the hostiles were
killed, but Judging from the reports
of one of the scouts there must have
been several killed, as he said he heard
several shout in Sioux that they were
hit. Troops were sent to the scene at

MAkA DE SILVER DOL.
Capture of a Big Gang of Counterfeiters
at Pittsbufg.

Pr7TsBURG, Pa, Dec. ga gigantic
conspiracy to flood the United States
with counterfeit silver dollars has been
unearthed, and to the energy and INTEL
ligence of the officials Of the First Po-
lice District of Pittsburg is due the
credit. Nineteen persons are already
under arrest, and 81 100 in spurious coin
is in the hands of the police.
The money was brought from CEN
trail depot in New York City to Pittsburg
by gang of Italians employed to pass
it. The money was all in silver dollars,
and United States Detective McSweeny
says it is the best counterfeitof the stand
ara silver dollar that was ever made.
It's ring is identical with the good coin,
the only fault being little light in
weight. Two of the Italians, named
Ello Darige and Nelson Maggorina, ac-
companied by their wives, at
tempted to pass the spurious
money over the bar of the Black
Bear Hotel, but were detected by the
proprietor and arrested. The party at
first refused to say where they lived,
but the women finally told
the police that they had been
living at 523 Lincoln Avenue, East End
The house was quietly surrounded and
fifteen Italians arrested. Secreted
under bed in one of the rooms was
found a pile of counterfeit money
amounting to 81 100. The prisoners
were removed to the central station and
locked up.
After the house had been thoroughly
searched the detectives interviewed the
prisoners one at time, and succeeded
finally in gaining the information that
the money was made in New York. and
they had been sent here to dispose of it.
Not mold or die or any kind Of coun-
terfeiting machinery was found on
the persons Of the gang arrested
here. Detective McSweeny says the
government has been after the New
York gang Of counterfeiters for long
time, and while several arrests have
been made from time to time and con-
siderable of the counterfeit coin recov-
cred, the real head of the organized
band has not been uncovered.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 24.-Late last
night the jury in the trial of Walter F.
Horton, charged with drowning his wife
in the Mississippi on the evening of
August IA, rendered a verdict of not
guilty. 1t was charged that the deed

state tried to show that he murdered
his wife and child with the intention OF

last night.
Heinrich Schliemann, the son of a
Lutheran pastor, was born IN Mecklen-
burg in 1922. He amassed fortune in
business while still comparatively
young man, and in 1868 withdrew from
commercial pursuits and devoted him
self anew TO tavorite study Of his
youth, the subject of Greek antiquities,
especially as bearing on the Homeric
times. In 1868 he undertook pro-
longed journey through Greece and
Asia Minor; and, in 1870, he began at
his own cost, OH the hill of Hissarlik,
those excavations, continued with some
whose results have made his name
famous. His excavations at Mycen9
have also been attended with much sue
cess; but the Trojan explorations have
been of greater importance, and have
been given to the world in three vol
umes, in German and English. Trojan
Antiquities appeared in 1875; 1lios in
1880, and Troia: Results of Latest Re-
searches and Discoveries on the Site of
Historic Troy, in 1883. The final out
come of his labor, in which he
was SISTED ultimately by other trained
observers and skilled architects, is that
on. around, and near the hill of Hissarlik
there are piled up the remains of seven
successive towns or cities. Deepest be-
meath the rubbish are traces of a small
town of date absolutely unknown. The
next above it exceeds the first greatly
in point of grandeur, yet seems also to
have been prehistoric.
The second city appears to have been
overthrown by some great catastrophe
about the twelfth century B. g., GER
tainly not later than the tenth century
B. c., and it is that which DR.. Schlie-
mann ultimately came to regard as
identical with the Troy of Priam and of
Homer's poetry.
