- Fields.

3 SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 19.-News from
Cooks Inlet, Alaska, concerning the condl-
tion of miners and prospectors who have
gone into that country is alarming. Cap
tain Gabriel Peterson of this city, VINO has
Just returned from Alaska, says there are
hundreds of men at the head of Cooks In
let who are absolutely penniless and in
danger of starvation. The reported gold
fields ate fraud, and men who in many
instances mortgaged their homes in order
to reach the country now face starvation,
with no means of getting away from it.
George. Beatty, a Seattle man, narrowly
escaped lynching at the hands of the
miners. Beatty took party of ten miners
to Cooks Inlet and promised that they
should be paid at the rate of $50 a month.
When the men got there they found the
rate was IS day, although the employers
paying it were steadily losing money and
rapidly abandoning work. Beatty's men
went, on a strike and he let them go. Sub
sequently they offered to work at any
price, and the return of several prospect
ing parties with discouraging news made
the men desperate and the lynching of
Beatty was attempted. He was rescued
by the cooler-headed men only after the
rope had been placed around his neck and
the lynchers were preparing to string him

He SHOT AT HIS BROTHER.
George Van Pool, a Fireman,
Has a Very Unpleasant
Encounter.
ONE BULLET IN HIS HAND.
Crowds Attracted to the Fillmore
House, Where the Shooting
Took Place.

George Van Pool, an extraman on en-
CINE /. was shot by his brother, Lollie Van
Pool, in the Fillmore House, 65l Broad
way, yesterday morning at about II
o'clock. The bullet, which was intended
for his heart, was misdirected, and fur
rowed it's way through his left hand, lodg-
ing finally in some woodwork. The
wounded man is now in DOCTORS care at
his room, Z, in the house where the shoot
ing occurred. The wound is not serious,
and the brother was not arrested, although
the entire neighboIhood was aroused by
the racket.
Lollie Van Pool, the shooter is team
ster, and was very much under the infiu.
ence of liquor yesterday morning, in which
condition he is said to be very touchy.
About 1920 o'clock, in this condition, he
drove up with his team to the entrance OF
the Fillmore House, where his brother is
rooming. In his company was a friend,
whose name is not known, and together
they assembled to the third floor to room Z,
where George Van Pool resides. They had
not been inside very long when a quarrel
arose, George taking umbrage at his
brothers call while he was under the in
fiuence of liquor. Words ran high, and in
no time the occupant of the room had
shown his brother and his friend to the
door, telling them never to come back
again while in liquor.
Lollie and his friend descended the stairs
and stood talking for little while on the
sidewalk, when the former decided that he
would renew the call. George must have
seen him re-enter the door, for when the
teamster was halfway up the stairs his
brother was leaning over the bannister on
the first landing, a hammer in his hand.
Lollie stopped.
~ told you not to come up here again,
the way you are exclaimed George Van
He raised the hammer in his hand as he
finished and the next instant his brother
had pulled revolver and shot. The bull
let struck him in the left hand and as he
felt it blowing through the flesh and felt
the blood squirt in his face, he dropped the
hammer and ran for safety, mounting the
next flight of stairs to escape the next
bullet which he fully expected.
The report from the revolver aroused the
entire household. Landlord f. G. Keller
ran out of his room and the upper hallway
was instantly filed with shrieking women.
They arrived Just in time to see Lollie
Van Pool, the smoking revolver still in his
hand, turn on his heel and descend the
stairs He reached the sidewalk undis-
turbed, mounted the seat of his wagon and
drove off, apparently unmindful of the re-
suit of his shot.
The wounded man, bleeding consider
ably, walked to his room, where his in
juries were examined by physician who
had been hastily summoned, while crowd
which had been attracted mounted to the
first landing and gazed in awe at the big
splotches of blood on the nearest white
wall.
Both brothers are well known in the
City, and their MONDAY encounter will
come as a surprise to all, as, beyond the
ordinary brotherly spats, they were par
ticularly chummy.

the wants of business. the population is

crat, he thought, but could not commend
Cleveland's financial policy. He has
turned the money question over to the
bondholders of New York, who are the

refusal to recede from his policy sets an
example of stubbornness unparalleled in
the history of American Presidents. I am

ANIMALS BREAK LOOSE.
An Elephant and Tigress Cause Con-
sternation at Central
Park.

Jess, one of the elephants in the circus
at Central Park, broke loose about midnight
and played havoc in the tent where the
wild animals are kept. She got close to
the cage of the tigress Virginia and
the tigress tried to insert her claws
in her hide. This reused the elephant to
fury and she knocked over the cage. The
door flew open and Virginia rushed out at
the elephant, who turned tail and ran out
of the tent.
The elephant knocked down the fence on
Mission street and made her way down
town, causing CONSERVATION among the
pedestrians.
She was followed by about fifty
employees. She turned up Fourth
street and on to Market street,
and at Post and Kearny was brought to
bay and taken back to the circus.
The tigress was kept within the
tent, and her trainer was hurriedly
sent for. After nearly two hours work she
was induced to enter the cage by large
pieces of raw heart being placed within it.
There was the widest excitement around
the circus as for some time it was feared
that she would make her escape from the
tent.
She moved round and round, roaring
and Iashing her tail, but strange to say
never attempted to break through the
canvas.

a host of candidates for the principal
offices in the gift of the council, Edward I.

The silver agitation in California took
definite form when on the Goth of last June
about seventy-five gentlemen met at the
Palace Hotel for the purpose of making
arrangements for the convention which
convened yesterday.
At this meeting an executive committee
was appointed with George w. Baker as
chairman and George P. Keeney as secre-
tary. The membership was made up Of
the following gentlemen:
Simeon wenban, William Pardy, J. G. Green.

This committee at once formulated an
address to the voters of California which
crowded for a convention, the delegates to
be selected as set forth in the following
paragraph of the convention call:
Each county in the State shall be entitled to
gates at large and one delegate for each 500
votes or fraction thereof castin said county at
the last general election.
The only test required for seat in said con-
vention is that the delegate be an elector of
the county which he claims to represent and
is in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver. with equal privileges at the
minis of the United States and with equal
functions money, at the ratio of 16 to l.,
without waiting for any international confer
ence or the concurrence of any foreign power.
The delegates shall be elected in each county
in such manner as the friends of the cause in
such county may determine. but as the BIZ
metallists belong to all existing political par
ties and are themselves without party organiza-
ton, we recommend that mass-mee tings of
bimetallists be held throughout each county
upon Saturday, August 3, 1895, for the pur-
pose of selecting delegates to said convention,
and that the chairman and secretary of the
meeting issue a certificate to the delegates
selected, which certificates will be accepted as
credentials by the convention.

ganized in Washington in 1892, and has at
the present time headquarters in Wash

now have to face the courts in answer to a

On the evening of the 9Th inst. Charles
Love, one of the boatmen, had taken car
penter off to the ship Cyrus Wakefield and
was coming back when he sighted the bar
rel which has been the cause of all the
trouble. He fastened tow line on the
cask and pulled for over an hour against
the tide and wind and finally arrived at his
landing, and. procuring the services of
Johnson, the unwieldy object was hauled
safe and sound upon the wharf.
