. GOLD IN ALASKA,
Miners FIocking to the Gold Fields
Along the Yukon River.
American Interests in Alaska Seem to Need
Presence OF Troops.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The treasury de-
partment is in receipt of information from
Alaska, dated Oct. Is, that miners In con.
siderable numbers are reported at Cook S
Inlet, where extensive gold mines have
been found. None Of the mines are very
rich, but they run from $40 to S25 day
per man. 1t is expected that 1000 men
Will be in the Cook Inlet country, next
summer.
Deputy Collector McNair reports that
Circle City, the center of the gold excite
ment along the Yukon river so miles
above the mouth of Birch creek, has now
a population of 800 He estimates that
$500, 600 in gold has been taken out of the
Birch Creek district, this summer. MANY
claim owners and most of the miners are
aliens.
The land, he says, flows with whiskey.
The country around Circle City produces
fine grass and hay, and immense droves
of moose and caribou deer abound.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin, who made
a visit to Alaska, this spring, and who has
immediate charge of affairs there, stated.
to-day, that he is convinced that there
should be radical change in enforcing
the law in Alaska
Either the military should be clothed
with civic authority in certain cases, or
the civic authorities should be backed by
military in Alaska" said Mr.. Hamlin
- In the present state of affairs, the civil
authorities are powerless to enforce pro-
cesses.
IF captain of a United States com
pany of soldiers had the power of a
United States commissioner conferred on
him, the interests of Americans in Alaska
would be protected. l rather favor the
of respectable number of
United States troops in Alaska, to support
the civil authorities in enforcing the
laws"
The sending of troops to Alaska has
been the subject of consultation between
Secretaries Lamont and Carlisle. but no
action has been taken as it will require
legislation by Congress Such legislation
will be recommended this winter. and
Alaska will be brought under the protec-
ton of the American flag.

RANK DISCOURTESY
Shown by Turkey to Two
United States Officials.
Sent to Establish New ConsuIates in
Armenia, They Have Failed,
Hampered by Difficulties Placed in Their Wsy
by sultan's Minions.

Washington, Nov. 13,-Robert s. Chill.
ton and Dulany Hunter of the state tlepart-
ment, sent by this government to establish
new United States consulates at Erzeroum
and Harpoot, Armenia, have been recalled
by Secretary Olney. and it Is believed the
project will be abandoned. Messrs Chill.
ton and Hunter have informed the depart
ment of their return to Constantinopls.
The practical failure of the mission on
which Mr.. Chiffon and Mr.. Hunter were
sent is due TO the difficulties which tho
Turkish government placed in their way.
They spent some time in onstantinople
in vain endoavor to secure their exequa-
tors, and finally decided to push on toward
Erzeroum.
They reached Trebizonde on the day OF
the Armenian massacre there, and Mr.
Chiffon forwarded a report on what he
saw and learned, TO the department.. This
report has not been made public.
The journey between Trebizonde and
Erzeroum must be made by road, and tho
two consular officers expected to have a
guard of Turkish soldiers on the route.
1t is probable that they failed to secure
the granting of this courtesy, and this, in
view Of the great danger to foreigners In
that part of Armenia, is probably one of
the reasons why the department. deemed
their return necessary

SAN JOSE, CAL, July 31.-George A.
Allen, Grand Army man who made an
attempt to commit suicide last night by
cutting his throat, died this afternoon
about 3 o'clock.
For the past few months be had been in
i'll health, ard the Grand Army men of
this city had been taking care OF him.
About week ago they took Allen to
boarding house conducted by Mrs. E. E..
Ludwick, on South Second street. Allen
appeared to like his new boarding place,
and appeared to be contented.
Last evening he went out to dine with
some friends, and when he returned he
complained of having ate something that
did not agree with him, and retired TO his
room. Shortly after II o'clock, Mrs. Wal
lace, lodger in the house, heard him
groaning and she notified the landlady.
On opening the door they found ALEU-
lying on the floor beside his bed in a
pool of blood. There was frightful cash
in his throat and he was unconscious. BY
his side lay pocket-knife with which he
had cut his throat. DR.. /. n. Frasse was
Summoned and he pronounced the wound
not necessarily fatal, as neither the wind
pipe or jugular had been severed.

New Plan of County and Dis

Adopted.

Members.

Quietly reorganizing after having adopted

formulated by committee composed of
A B. Kinne, J. c. Gore, E. S. Barney.
Georee T. Gaden and Thomas V. Gator.
When the County Committee meets to-
morrow night at Mozart Hall on Market
street the progress of the efforts to reor-
ganize can be ascertalned.
The new plan provides for a County
Committee of 144 members, eight delegates
IN be chosen by each Assembly district,
There is also to be district committee in
each Assembly district consisting OF one
member from each precinct. Each dis
trict committee is to be the nucleus Tor

very peculiar thing about the reorgan-
ization is the imperative mandate provls-
ion, by which any member becoming un-
desirable to those he represents can be re-
moved by majority vote OF the GolhnlifI COZ. l-.iII
tee. Anv charge against member Will
have to be put in writing and signed by at
least one member of the committee, and
the call for any meeting to exercise the
imperative mandate must be signed by at
least fourth of the members OF the County
Committee or three-fourths OF those or the
committee of the district to the delegation
from which the member complained OF be-
longs.
The right of appeal is granted to the
member removed, the time limit being ten
DAYS; but the only ground of appeal that
can be recognized is the regularity or
irregularity OF the proceedings of removal:
Chairman Barney is of the opinion that
tins particular feature is original with the
party here.
Under the reorganization the district
delegations are now being chosen, the old
signed to different districts and still being
retained One half the number of dele
gates from each district is to be elected for
one year and the other half for six months,
so as to allow for four members to be alter
nately elected in the future There is to be

Surgical Institute, put in a claim for a
medicine, which he had discovered and
used, in his extensive practice, that
would cure ninety-eight per cent. of all
cases of consumption when taken in all
its early stages. Time has proved that
his assertion was based on facts gained
from experience. His Golden Medical
Discovery" has cured many thousand
people in all parts of the world, and Dr.
Pierce invites all interested to send to
him for a free book which gives the
names, addresses and photographs of
many prominent people who have will
