Letters From Alaska.

We are pleased to furnish quotations
to our readers from most interesting
letters written by MIR. Irvine LoGue, to
his uncle, Mr.. J. d. Whitney, and fam
lily, describing his adventures in Alas
ka It will be remembered by many
that Mr.. Logue left March @Sth, 1896,
with Mr.. Thos. DIVER and party to
visit the sold mining districts of Alaska.
and according to his letters be has ar
rived at his destination. Instead of
making the trip from Dyea to Circle
City by ocean ard the Yukon river, a
distance of 200 miles, the partt decided
to 20 overland and pack their supplies
and thus reduce the distance 10 about
900 miles. The dangers and experien-
ces are but vaguely conveyed in the
letters, but yet g,impses are obtained
from which We may imagine somewhat
of the trip.

SERIOUS TROUBLE FEARED
Republicans in Kentucky's Legis.
lature May Unseat Two
Democrats.
Ladies Warned to Keep Away, for a
Lively Row and Shooting
Is Expected.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 4.-Serious
trouble may occur at to-morrow's joint
session of the House Republicans to un-
seat Tomkins and Kaufman. 1t is said
that within five minutes after the unseat-
ing the Senate Democrats have arranged
to expel four Republican Senators, ap-
point doorkeepers to keep them out of the
joint session and take ballot for United
States Senator. Ladies are warned to
keep away tomorrow.
Kaufman is a clothing merchant of Lex
ington, of high standing in business and
social circles. He is a Democrat of long
standing, a strong advocate of free silver,
and will stand by Blackburn to the end
His seat is contested by Woods Dunlap of
Lexington, who comes of good Republican
stock. He is a lawyer by profession, but
has been more or less absorbed IN political
contests for many years back, and has had
the fruits of one or two places under the
National Government. The attempt to
unseat Kaufman is very likely to cause
serious trouble. Much depends upon

WANTS HEAVY DAMAGES,
Mrs. Spalding's Suit Against
the Pullman Palace.Car
Company.
Claims to Have Been Arrested by
Employees for the Purpose Of
Robbery.

CHICAGO. ILL, Feb. 4.-Mrs. Lydia
Spalding, who is a hotel keeper in San
Francisco, brought suit to-day in the Su-
perior Court against the Pullman Palace
Car Company and the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad Company, claiming $780,
600 damages and alleging false arrest and
imprisonment.
The bin states that in June last Mrs.
Spalding was travelling from San Fran
cisco to Europe, and that when the Rio
'Grande train stopped at Leadville she was
taken from the Pullman sleeper by Dep
uty Sheriff and locked in Jail. She de-
clares she was only told she was under ar
rest and that no charge was ever made
against her nor was she taken into court.
After being forty-eight hours in a filthy
room with ten male prisoners, she was re-
leased. The plaintiff also claims to have
lost $4,000 in money, jeweIry and steam
ship and railroad tickets. being Obliged to
buy new tickets in order to proceed to
Europe.
1t is charged that the arrest was insti-
gated by the Pullman Company employees
for the purpose of robbery. When she re-
turned to San francisco Mrs. Spalding
says her friends regarded her with sus-
picion and her character has been placed
under cloud.

PLEASES THE PRINCE or WALES.
Has No Fault to Find With the Lnvest-
cation by the New York Yacht
Clubs Committee.

LONDON, ENG, Feb. 4.-The Chronicle
will tomorrow say that the Prince of
Wales, who is commodore of the Royal
Yacht Squadron, has earnestly counseled
Lord Dunraven to keep we'll in mind the
desirability of promoting friendship
between the representatives of sports and
peoples. The Prince considers that the
terms of the finding of the committee of
inquiry of the New York Yacht Club offer
great encouragement in this direction.
There is reason to believe that action lead
ing to very happy ending of the trouble
will shortly be taken. Lord Dunraven, it
is said, visited the Prince of Wales at
Sandringham for the purpose of asking
his advice as to the course he should
pursue in view of the verdict of the COM
mittee which investigated the charges he
made against the Defender syndicate.

For SAVING THE ST. PAUL.
some Interesting Recommendations Made |
6u Patriotic Citizens.

some Ifterestiag Recommendations Made
or Patriotic Citizens.
Great was the interest taken in the ques-
ton of floating the st. Paul from her
cradle in the sand off Long Branch. 1t
was argued that if not moved soon there
was great danger of the big steam ship
being broken UP by the com bined action of
the wind and waves. The loss of the YES
sci would have been severe blow to the
National line, which was so largely
actuated by patriotic motives in establish
ing a passenger and mail service, under
the American flag, between the United
States and Europe.
Patriotic citizens of New York and
vicinity therefor offered various sugges-
tions as to the best means of saving the
stranded ship. Some went so far as to
advocate the utility of monster balloons,
while others thought it would be easy to
dredge channel from the vessel out into
deep water.
But the wrecking company that finally
saved the st. Paul was not inspired
by sentiment. 1t contracted, it was
said, to float the ship for the sum of
100000 and agreed 10 get nothing in
the event of failure. While the powerful
tugs were straining hawsers there was no
abatement in the interest as to the St.
Paups fate. In one instance the unlucky
vessel was made the subject of cartoon
being compared to the stranded state of
affairs of the United States Senate in ques-
tons of finance and diplomacy.

CONSTANTINOPLE,T TURKEY, Feb. A.
The reported existence of strain between
the United States and Turkey in conse-
quence of the rigorous and persistent
measures adopted by United States Minis
ter Terrell for the protection of American
missionaries is wholly without founda-
tion. AS regards protection of American
citizens and the payment of indem-
nifty by the Turkish Government
for the destruction by fire of American
buildings it will be recalled that none of
the EDS, 600 demand ed by the three chief
powers of Eur ope for the killing and
wounding of the foreign consuls at Jeddah
last May has yet been obtained by the
powers, nor has anybody as yet been pun
ished for the outrage.
The United States cruiser San Francisco
is at Messina, Asia Minor, on the Mediter-
ranean. Letters describing the misery
prevailing among the inhabitants at Mar
ash and Oorfa were read on board the ship
and the sailors made up purse of $3.50
for the relief of the sufferers. The situa-
ton at Marash has become more critical.
A number of European war vessels are
gathering at Alexandria.
The houses occupied by Armenians in
Smyrna were marked for week. j. H.
Madden, the United States Consul at that
place, made inquiries of the Government
regarding the reasons for so designating
Armenian residences, and entered vigor-
