Long and rerilous Journey of q Sailor in
Alaska.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Dec. 15.-News
comes from Alaska of remarkable
walk of $50 miles made by an American
sailor, in winter, along the Alaskan
shore. There was rescued from st.
Matthews Island, last spring, Peter
Whit, known as Frenchy. He was one
of three men left on the island the year
before to hunt polar bear. His COM
panions were lost while hunting walrus,
and his vessel never called for him.
The Bear took him to Sand Point, where
he met Fred Hague, an OLD sea cook, of
San Francisco. The two men secured,
last September, a sloop, IN which they
sailed for Fox Cape to establish a
winter hunting camp. Their sloop was
wrecked on the cape, and they saved
only their Esquimaux dogs and a few
provisions. Frenchy set out with two
dogs to reach Sand Point. He took no
provisions. but depended on birds that
he shot. He finally reached Sand
Point in thirty-fve days, travelling over
25O miles. He declared he would have
frozen except for the dogs, who kept
HIM warm at night. An expedition at
once started for Fox Cape, but it is
feared Hague has persisted.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 19.-At 6:45 P. NJ.
fire broke out in the furniture and
woodenware house of Udell, Quindell
& Co., corner Fourth and St. Charles
streets, and is now sweeping toward the
levee, with fire department making no
impression upon the flames. The loss
will be heavy. A severe west wind is
compllcatlng matters.
The fire originated in the Udell
Woodenware Company's building about
6:45 o'clock, destroyed the property
situated in the territory bounded by
Washington, Locust, Third and Fourth
streets. Successive alarms called out
practically the entire fire department,
which for time seemed unable to cope
with the flames. About IL O'Clock the
flames were got under control with
loss aggregating $450,000, practically
covered by insurance divided in small
amounts. Chief individual losses
are: Udell Woodenware Company
ings owned by the Collier estate, $751;
900; Tyler Desk Company, $50, 600; Pa
cific Express Company, $1,000; Troch-
lech, Dunkar q Renard, carpets, ETC.,
$4,000; on building owned by Collier q
Tate, $50, 900; Saccaret Furniture Com
pany, $4,000; building owned by Ger
ard Rallen estate, $4,000. 1t is prac-
tically settled that one man lost his life
in the fire, but who he was is not
known. The man was seen to enter the
Udells store during the blaze and never
returned.
Though fourteen girls and half dozen
| men were at work in the building at the
time none of them we're killed. All le-
ceived cuts and bruises, though but

Pistol Wound.

PISTOL "OunOs
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 19.-Frederick J.
Austin, of 3514 Prairie Avenue, was
1nortally wounded at 8 o'clock this
morning by two burglars. Mr.. Austin
was entering his house at that hour
when he noticed the two men proving
around one of the side win
dows. He drew his revolver and
asked the men what they wanted. One
of the men fired shot which did not
hit Mr.. Austin, and the latter returned
the fire. Several shots were eN-
changed, one of which struck Mr.. Aus
tin in the stomach. He fell to
the side walk, and while lying
PROSTATE he emptied his revolver
at the men. 1t Is thought that
one Of them was wounded, for a trail of
blood in the snow marked the course
bv which they escaped. A doctor who
was called said that Mr.. Austin's wound
would probably prove fatal. Mr..
Austin is the cashier at Spalding's, 1OS

BLAKELEY, Mimi, Feb. 26.-J. Fl.
johnson, the owner of fifty-barrel
flour mill here, and devotee of Farm
ers' Alliance doctrines, has created
good deal of comment in thissneighbor
hood by issuing letter to the farmers
urging them to organize Farmers AL
lance milling associations. He has
printed and circulated thousands of his
three-column leafiet, the burden of
which is to show that the farmers of
the DakotaS and Minnesota have lost
SOS, 000,00 on the wheat sold up to the
Sth of December, 1891, of this years
crop. He then proceeds to-
show the farmers their folly
in not building their own
mills and thereby secure 81 bushel for
their wheat with ton of feed per 100
bushels, together with some minor adj
vantageS. Any community that can de-
liver $4,000 bushels of wheat, he says,
can thereby keep fifty-barrel Monitor
mill running for year. and the mill
can be built for a modest $1,000. That,
Mr.. johnson says, will secure 81 a bushel
for every bushel Of wheat raised by the
shareholders. Mr.. johnson would allow
so cents barrel for the handling of the
flour and the agents he would send
abroad to dispose of it would be the
farmers sons.

The Idaho Man Presents His Case
in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Both the
vice president and the president
pro TEN. being absent at noon to-
day, the chair was occupied by Mr..
Harris. Among bills reported from
committees and placed on the calendar
were the following: Appropriating
100000 for an additional flre-proof
building for the national museum.
Authorizing the purchase of a site for a
building for the accommodation of the
supreme court of the United States.
Mr.. Frye made statement for the in
formation of senators and of the public
in relation to the bill now pending in
the committee on commerce to carry
+ into effect certain recommendations of
the United States delegates to the IN
E ternational marine conference.
8 The country might rest assured that
sthe committee on commerce would re-
port to the senate no bill changing or
affecting existing laws, unless that COM
mittee was fully satisfied by the evil
dence before it that such changes and
amendments ought to be made.
A conference was ordered in the
census bill. and Messrs. Hale, Allison
and COckrell were appointed cOnferreeS
on the part of the senate. The joint
resolution to provide for an interna-
tional bimetallic argument having been
reached on the calendar, it was, on mo-
/ ton of Mr.. Sherman, laid over without
action.
The consideration of the Idaho cleo
ton case was resumed. and Mr.. Vance,
of the minority commi3tee, continued
his argument begun yesterday. in sup
port of the claim of Claggett. At the
close of Mr.. Vance's speech the CONFER
ence report on the census deficiency
bill was presented and agreed to; and a
ebil was reported and placed on the CAL
eadar appropriating $500, 900 for public

TOWNER THE SKIPPER.
His Latest Only One OF Series of
Disappearances.


GRAND FORKS, n. D., Feb. 26.-Maj.
S. q. Hamilton has returned from Chi
cago, where he went to assist Ill the
search of Col. o. NJ. Towner. in which
he engaged until it became apparent
that Towner had not met with foul
play. Maj. Hamilton has since been as
siSting the company to gather up the
loose end of the bu SineSS uneeremoni-
ously left by the colonel The company
will carry out its plans about as origi-
nally intended. Maj. Hamilton affirmS
that neither the company nor his family
have any knowledge of Towner's
whereabouts. Towper has had q check
cred career, experiencing Vicissitudes
of fortunes from tidal waves of prosper
ity to inconvenientiy limited resources.
His. first career as North Dakotan
was ten years ago. when, as agent and
manager of the Elk River Farm COM
pany, syndicate of st. Louis capital
lists, he secured tract of $4,000 acres of
government land near the present
townsite of Larinore. Towner colonized
fifty negroes from st. Louis, who did
the presumption act' and proved up
claims, Towner furnishing the money.
He was the leading boomer of the Lari-
more Townsite company. Then. for
two years, he disappeared. Returning
unannounced in 1886, he operated in
Towner and McHenry counties, and the
latter's county seat. the town of Town
er. bears his name. He cut wide swath,
and suddenly disappeared again. He
has since embarked in the Col. Sellers"
style in real estate speculation in Kan
sas City, and mining and railroading in
Oregon and Washington, where he was
engaged less than a year ago. The
probability is that he went south after
leaving Minneapolis, Jan. 90, and is be-
lieved to have emigrated beyond the
confines of the territory subject to the
jurisdiction of the United States.

taken up and Mr.. Claggett, the con-
testant. was presented to the senate by
Mr.. Stewart, and recognized by the pre-
siding officer as entitled (under yester
days resolution to address the senate
for two hours. Mr.. Claggett took
his stand at Mr.. Hale's desk
and slowly. distinctly and in a
clear, musical tone OF voice,
began his speech. He thanked the SEN
ate on behalf of the state which he rep
resented for the privilege extended to
him. not so much to present any per-
sOnal claim as to vindlcate the action of
the state of Idaho in holding a second
election in the month of February, 1891,
and sending him to the senate to repre-
sent that state. If there was nothing IN
the controversy except the mere ques-
ton as to whether the sitting member
or himself were entitled to the cOntro-
verified seat, he would not have ventured
to ask the privilege of presenting the
reasons why the controversy should be
determined in the manner reported by
the minority of the committee.
1t was because there were matters i'm
yolyed in the controversy compared
with which the personal fortunes of any
man were absolutely immaterial, that
the privilege had been solicited and had
been granted. The question involved
ala not affect alone the state of Idaho.
1t not only affected that state. but it
afected vitality every state in the Union.
lI was the boast of tue American peo-
pie that they lived under government
OF law, and if that were so, then it was
absolutely necessary that in all parts of
the common domain, and, above all. in
the senate, the highest and most con-
sentative legislative body to be found
ON the earth. the laws should be yindi-
cated and their substantial requirements
observed.
MIR: Claggett went Cd to discuss the
details OF the question, and to criticise
the majority report.
de was frequently interrupted by
questions. So much of his time was oc-
cupled listening to and replying to these
questions that the limit of time was, on
motion of Mr.. Vance, withdrawn, and
ne was permitted to speak without any
time limitation. His argument appeared
10 interest senators very much and they
listened to it ION both sides of the cham
ber) with very close attention. There
was also large audience In the CALLER
les to listen to the speech. He created
general laughter when he wound up
with description of Mr.. Dubois cleo
ton tactics by saying that to use a
western phrase, the sitting member
was bound to ''get there, Eli.''
After he had spoken about two hours,
but without finishing his speech, Mr..
Claggett yielded the floor and the Idaho
case went over without action. and after
