Prof. Dyche Returns to Kansas with
Remarkable Story.

Prof. L. L. Dyche, of Kansas, re-
turned recently from Alaska on the
City of Topeka. Prof. Dyche went to
Cooks Inlet, and especially in search
of natural history specimens. He as
cended to the source of the Enik river
with an organized expedition, which
was success, although the obstacles
to be overcome were appalling. The
native boatmen, stripped, with ropes
pulled the boat up the turbulent river.
Prof. Dyche secured specimens of a
mountain sheep, ~ immense moose
heads, caribou, sea otter, birds and
other small animals.
On July II Prof. Dyche saw eight
inches of snow fall and on August II
six inches fell. he saw three smoking
mountains and experienced an earth
quake such as man could not remain
standing. He found large coal lodges,
but the coal was so soft that it could be
whitfield with knife. Prof. Dyche
said:
THAT country is one-nalf made. 1t
will be good country some day when
it is finished. The glaciers are slowly
doing their work, the mountains are
smoking and the rivers are vomiting
out quantities of quicksand. 1t is
new country; let il alone and some day
it will be good country
Prof. Dyche met Princess Tom, IA
nous Yakutat princess, wealthy beyond
all other Alaskans. She has $4,000 in
$50 gold pieces. On her right arm
she wears FIVE bracelets, each ham
mered out of $50 gold piece, and on her
left arm she wears ten bracelets, each
made from ten-dollar gold piece. She
has hundreds of blankets, seal skins,
etc, and she owns a schooner and two
sloops. She is 65 years old and has just
married her fifth husband, q young
man 20 years old, for whom she has
Paid 500 blankets. The relationships
are traced back through the mothers
side. 1t is, in fact, almost savage
realization of Lytton's Coming Race"

PANIC IN CONGRESS.
Solons Thought the Capitol Build
ing Had Been Struck by
Lightning.

Washington, D. c., May 20.-A severe
rain and wind storm, which swept over
Washington about half past II yester-
day, created momentary panic in the
House. The storm was signaled by n
binding fash of lightning, accompanied
by a fierce clap of thunder. 1t seemed
as if the capitol must have been struck,
and most Of the members of the House
rushed to the Hobbies. There was a rush
from the galleries by frightened visitors.
and for five minutes business was prac-
tically suspended in the House. The
windows Of the House folding room were
blown in by the storm, and the clerks
had their hands full collecting the docu-
ments. The meteorological instruments
in the lobby of the House showed re-
markable developments. The thermom-
eter fell thirty degrees in ten minutes,
half an inch of rainfall was registered
in i've minutes, and the wind velocity
was shown to be over seventy miles, a
higher rate than has been known to this
city since 1892, when Metzerott's Music
hall was blownsdown with loss of life.

Washington, D. c., May 2O.-United

icials OF the state department respect
ing the condition of affairs in Turkey.
Just when he will return to his post,
and whether or not it will be necessary
for him to do so before the eXpir, ton
of his leave of absence is in measure
dependent upon the developments at Con-
stantinople.
For some time past there has been
more or less talk here which is always
traceable to very few disgruntled indi-
viduals to the effect that the admins
tration is dissatisfied with Mr.. Terrell S
conduct at Constantinople, but it can be
stated authoritatively that no charges
have been lodged with Mr.. Terrells SUI
periors. Consequently no official notice
can be taken Of this kind Of talk.
