Port Townsend. Wash. Sept "a
letter Just received from U. Smith.
United States commissioner at Dyea
and Skaguay, intimates that govern
upper Yukon may by their official acts
bring on serious International compli-
cations with the Dominion government.
He says:
ut is announced here by a deputy
United States marshal that the United
States government is to make claim to
a large portion of the Yukon gold fields
which have heretofore been supposed
to be in British territory, and that the
territory which is claimed as being
within Alaska includes Dawson City.
THE basis Of the claim to be made
by the United States officials to the
disputed territory is in the fact that
the boundary line has never been deter
mined and that the United States au-
thortties are claiming to possess infor-
nation as TO surveys made by the
Canadian government that fixes Daw-
son City and large portion of the gold
district Within Alaska"
Washington Sept 2.-General Duff
field superintendent of the coast and
geodetic survey, who has been pro1ni-
nently identified in determining the line
between Alaska and the British north
west territory is not impressed with
the probability of trouble between this
government and Great Britain over the
location of the Klondihe gold fields.

Paris, Sept. 2-The attitude of the
French press and public towards Ger
many is distinctively more resoIute
than it was before the Franeo-Russian
alliance was announced Various ru-
mors concerning the governments in
tentions are in circulation. Among
others is one to the effect that upon
the reassembIing of the chamber OF
deputies, NJ. Hanotaux. the minister of
foreign affairs, viii make an important
speech on the subject of the alliance,
which will be in the nature OF a qnani-
feStO and will reVerberate through the
country, and that the chamber will
Immediately adjourn without transact
ing any further business 1t is also
reported that the government intends
to dissolve the chamber and appeal to
the country in the assurance that the
popularity of the Meline cabinet Is so
great that the whole radical opposition
will be swept away
This effervescence is apparently due
to the celebration Of the anniversary of
Sedan day.

ANTI-GAMBLING Law KNOCKED
OUT BY THE COURT.

Boise-other Important Ls:ws viii

sion.
Especial to The Hcrald.1


Boise. Ida. Sept. 2.-District Judge
George H Stewart today decided the
anti-gambling law invalid, and within
half an hour after the decision had
been rendered gambling games of all
descriptions, closed since May, were
running wide open in this city
The decision is under the decision Of
the supreme court in the fee law case,
which in effect nullifies all the i'm
portant laws of the state. Under this
decision pools can be sold for the Oc-
tober races here, for which $1,000 is
hung up.
Encouraged by this decision, the dis
trict courts of the state win be flooded
with attacks or various laws which
are claimed to come under the ban of
the supreme court. If the appropria-
ton bill is attacked. as seems likely,
Governor Steunenberg may be forced
to reconvene the legislature It has
been suggested TO bring the appropria-
ton bill into court by an action to
prevent the supreme court judges from
drawing their salaries.
The city and county granted gam
bling licenses under the decision of
Judge Stewart. The council thus tao
ltly admitted that they were not legally
elected Their election was under a
law that came under the objections of
the supreme court and the result will
likely be TO plunge the municipality
into chaos TIE matter involves thou
sands of dollars of street paving and
other public Improvements in Boise
nov nearly completed.
If the governor decides to call an
extra session of the legislature he will
be in quandary to know which one

Seattle, Wash, Sept. "A Post-In-

goldseekers, 100 returning in a single
day from the trail on which the mud is

Men are frequently mired up to their

exhausting work of packing, and with

Chicago, Sept. 2.-The indifference of
Luetgert after his wife had disappeared
was the principal fact brought out
against him today 1t was shown by
the testimony of Police Captain Her
man Schuettler that Luetgert did not
shown any concern regarding his wife,
and never took the trouble to ask the
police whether they had found any
trace of her or not Only on one coca
sion he called at the police station to
protest against an article in a daily
paper saying that his first wife had
not died a natural death The police
at this time we're cut dragging the
river, poking into clay holes and pa
trolling the lake in the hope Of finding
some trace of the missing woman, but
Luetgert, after he had complained of
the paper, left the station without even
asking if the police had found any
trace of his wife.
When the police first became aware
of the disappearance of Mrs. Luetgert,
through her brother, they asked Luet-
CERT what theory he had regarding her
disappearance, and he said that in his
opinion she had become insane and had
wandered away from home. He had
not reported the going away, either to
the police or his neighbours, because, he
said, it was a disgrace to have an in
sane wife, and he did not want people
to know anything about it. Captain
Schuettler said that in all the police
did on the case before the arrest of
Luetgert they never received any 1glp
or suggestions from the husband, and
ne never seemed to care whether they
found her or not.
Luetgert today announced that he
intended to take the stand and testify
in his own behalf He said that he had
talked the matter over with his attor-
neys, and they had consented that he
should do so. He said he would tell all
about his actions on the nights preced-
ing the disappearance of his wife, and
would convince the jury that he had
done nothing wrong.
The interest in the case increases
every day, and this morning it was
almost an impossibility for the court
officials and the attorneys to force
their way through the crowd that
blocked the Railways outside of the
court room.
