A NEW TRIAL FOR PAGE.

Judge Wallace Rules According to the
Supreme Court Decisions.
Judge Wallace allowed James d. Page,
the ex-District Attorney who is now
under trial for EN- mbezzlement, a new trial
yesterday, the ground being that the
Assistant District Attorney had been al
lowed during his argument to call the at
tention of the jury to the fact that al
though he had been twice on the stand
the defendant had never told what he had
done with the money under his charge.
Judge Wallace said he believed the
course taken by the Assistant District At
torney was according to common-sense,
but still as some decisions of the Supreme
Court torbidding such course had been
cited he would have TO rule accordingly.
Page Is now in Jail under $4,000 bonds
He is accused of EN- beZZling $1,000 belong
ing to an incompetent over whom he had

DRAWING ON This CITY.
Local Merchants Selling KIon-
dixie Goods to Seattle
Dealers.
Some Curious Discoveries by the
Alaska Trade Committee as
to Supplies.

The crowd of visitors at the Alaska In
formation Bureau, Ferry building, was as
large yesterday as on the preceding days,
and several thousand persons visited the
exhibit during the day. In the four days
that the exhibit has been open a conserva-
tive estimate of the number of people
who have examined the display would be
not less than 5000. Among those who
called more than 100 were recorded as
representatives or agents of parties which
are now being formed to go to Klondike
during the coming season. A system has
been adopted By means of which the ad-
dresses of all these people are recorded, so
that they will be furnished with all the
literature published by the com m ittee tor
the benefit of their friends elsewhere.
On the last steamer from Australia
party of thirty-five minerrs arrived from
Australia, who say that they will leave for
the Yukon as soon as they think it pos
sibe to make the trip without delay
Some OF them visited the exhibit rooms
and expressed themselves as very much
pleased with the showing which the mer-
chants of this city make and of the advan-
tages offered to purchasers of Alaska out
fits. One of the party, who acted as
spokesman for his companions, said that
there would be great rush from Aus
tral1a for the klondike, especially as the
mining industry was suffering from de-
preston and the wages OF miners had
been reduced. After looking over the
local field the party which arrived on
Wednesday will purchase its supplies
here and will engage transportation from
this port. From the remarks which those
who have arrived made it is TO te gathered
that the travel from Australia will M
mence as early as the steamer sCcOmmO-
datiops will permit.
The inquiries from the outlying die.
trlcts OF the State are ShoWering in upon
the bureau of Information and a great
deal of literature has been sent out per-

San Francisco for its supplies. One COM
