A letter received ut Hutchinson, Ky, by

ships endured by those In search of gold
In the frozen northwest.
Morrow and n comrade left Douglas

climate and the inhospitablc Indians and
Eskimo and fierce bears to confront them.
Circle City Is inside the arctic circle,
near the junction Of the Porcupine and the

that $40 day is paid for help TO the mines
and mills and cites instances where indi-
viduals have prospected Independently
and in n season, from June ID TO Sept. Is,
have amassed from SO, 500 TO $17, 600 in the
precious metal.
The season is short, and during the win

AN ALUMINIUM EAR.
How Science Has Come to the Aid of an
Afflicted EDglishman.

We have had people with glass eyes, por-
celain teeth and artificial whiskers, and
now along comes a man with an aluminium
ear He is 63 years of age and was adj
mitted into the Queens hospital at Bir-
mingham England, in April, 1898, with
an cpithcliOma OF the left auricle.
The greater part of the diseased car was
cut of by the attending surgeon, and n
plaster of paris "est was taken Of the left
side of his head. ';'hcn an artificial ear was
built up in wax TO match the healthy one
on the opposite side. This bogus ear was
then made in vulcanite and aluminium,
tinted and enamelcd to harmonize with
the complexion. No artificial contrivance,
such as n spectacle frame, was made use of
to support the aluminium car and adhesion
to the head was effected by means of a sat
urated solution of mastic in absolute alco-
hol.
Tho man now can hear rs well as ever,
but he takes care to sleep on his right side
at night SO as not to break of his new ear
AT the same time he has no fear Of having
1T frost bitten, and he Is probably the only
man alive who could even partly comply
with the request of Mark Antony, "Lend

Mascapni's New Opera.

Some details have been received concern
Ing Signor Mascagni's new opera, "Sil-
vano, " which has just been produced in
Milan. According to the Italian critics,
the music Is written on so called popular
lines and Is full Of melody, although the
orchestration Is more or less conventional
The plot, which the composer drew up,
deals with the smugglcr, Silvano, who,
compelled by an accident of his calling to
absent himself for three years, returns to
find himself supplantcd I'm the affections
OF his ladylovc by u peasant. He chal-

REASON FOR THE REMOVAL.

Secretary OIney Did Not Personally
Like kieckhofer and Hay wood.
No announcement has been made at the
State Department as to who has been se-
lected to succeed Francis j. Kieckhoefer,
heretofore in charge OF the Bureau of Ac-
counts. 1t is understood the position has
been rendered a gentleman already in the
Government service, and there is some doubt
expressed as to whether he will accept.
The work of the expert engaged in exam
lining Mr.. Kieckhoefer's accounts has been
practically concluded, and the amount of
shortage placed at something in the neigh
borhood of $500. This deficiency is sim
ply the result of inefficient bookkeeping,
and does not Indicate any criminal trans
actions.
Messrs. Kieckhoefer and Haywood were
removed because Secretary Olney was dis
satisfied with their methods of transact.
ing business and considered that a change
would be beneficial to the service. Mr..
Kieckhoefer is under $50, 900 bonds, but it
is unlikely that any attempt will be made
to recover the small shortage which exists.
Secretary Olney did not approve of Mr..
kieckhoefers habit OF holding back drafts
and money for several days before turning
them into the Treasury, and this fact con-
stituted the chief reason for his removal.
1t is not likely there will be any additional
developments during the pending inves-
tigation.

T. B. Mangan, niIidle-aged man, who
says he halls from the State of Washing
ton, was placed in the hands of the

ity.
He called at o o o'ciockupon United States

nlent for 1000 tons of gold lost by the

claim should be paid.
when ASKED If he rad sfen the Presi-
dent he said no, but said he lad talked
with him by means of fairy sounds known
only tn the two men.
Treasurer Morgan quietly called Treas
ury watchman and whispered 10 him that
the man was a crank.
Then in loud tunes he directed the watch
man to accompany Mr.. Mangan 10 the
cashier of the Treasury and see To- it that
he was given a draft for S317 900 900.

Be .AppoiBfed by II.
AS a result of the conference now being
held in this city betw cen Representatives
of the Canadian government, Sir Julian
Paucefote, and Secretary Olney, looking
70 the payment OF damages 10 Canadian
sealers seized in Bering Sea, the amount
having been fixed at 100000 by the
Spain tribunal of arbitration, IL is cx-
pccted that a convention " Ill be framed
providing for mixed commission TO assess
the amount due.
If the convention should provide for a
commission il " Ill consist OF Two members.
one on The part OF the United States and the
other representing her Majesty's govern
ment.
Their sessions will be held at Victoria.
British Columbia, where all the evidence
connected with the seizures in past years
been collected. Should the commission
ers fail to agree upon the amount of dam
ages, they will be permitted under the
terms of the convention TO choose a third
member.
Sir Charles Tupper, the Canadian minis
ter of justice, and Sir Mckenzie Bowel, the
Canadian premier, who were invited by
Sir Julian to be present during the framing
of the convention, are in the city.
They Will remain at the British en-
bassy as the guests of Sir Julian. Some
misunderstanding seems to exist as to the
nature of their functions. They are here
in a purely advisory capacity.
1t is the desire OF her majesty's govern
ment that the convention shall be en-
tirely acceptable to Canada. For this
reason the two Canadians are present to be
consulted by Sir Julian whenever ques-
tions arise upon which 1t may be desira-
BILE to learn the temper off the Canadian
government.
Practically, they will have no connection
with the convention, the preparation Of
which Is delegated solely to Secretary
Olney and the British ambassador.
The latter is suffering somewhat to-day
from rheumatism, but hopes to recover suf.
ficiently to begin work on Wednesday next.
1t is expected that the convention will be
completed by Saturday, as the near ap-
proach Of Congress makes speedy action
necessary 1t will be sent to the Senate for
ratification Immediately upon the ress-
semblng of Congress.
