KLONDYKE GOLD.
A Million and a Half Reaches San
 Francisco.
Extremely Rich Gold Fields but Terrible Suffering Imminent as
 Dawson City.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.-The steamer Excelsior arrived this morning from St. Michsals with sixty three passengers and about two and a half millions of gold.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 15.-Ot those who came down from Alaska all but two are known to have money, but few if any, were communicative enough to admit how much they had. O1e man, B. Hsyes, os Portland, was conceded to have the largest individual amount, but upon being iteFviswed he would only admit having S35,O00. All unite In con fFmiug the stories already told of the im pending danger of famine st Dawson City during She coming winter. They say that there are at least 1000 people now at Dawson City and shat more are coming in every day, but that the pro visions are already running short and prospects of getting more in are very remote.
 The Excelsior passengers are unani- nous iu the opinion that the Klondyke region IS richeE than was at first els- pected, bub are also of the opinion that unless the exodus to that country is stopped tenn porerily there will be tFou- ble and suffering.

Had Been Wonder
 full Results of Purifying the Blood.
 GA very severe pain came in my left knee, which grew worse and worse, and finally sore broke out above the knee It discharged a great deal and the pain , from my thigh down was maddening. Large, hard, purple spots appeared on my leg. I suffered in this way for years, and gave up all hope of ever being cured. My wife was reading of case like mine cured by Hoods SarsaparilIa, and she advised me to try it. I began taking it and when I had used a few bottles I found relief from my suffering. Oh, how thankful I am for this relief I am stronger than have ever been in my life. l am in the best of health, have good appetite and am a new man altogether" J. P. MooRs, Lisbon Falls, Maine.

THE proposition to finish of Wash | inGton street by grading it and cover- ing it with cement gravel while it will improve the present condition of that
 street for g time will very shortly have
 to be done all over again snd the gravel
 and dirt hauled onto it egoin hauled
 of to give place some sort of efficient
 pavement; nothing less than standard
 pavement will stand the traffic of that
 street with any sort of eoonemy OF sat- iseecbion to the business of that street. Ia yill be 8 matter Of economy to the city to put down 8 moss substantial pavement when it does anything in that line. The probabilities are that a we'll made ssphathum pavement would 1 serve the purpose better than anything 1 else that could be put down and it l would afford pavement that could be | cleaned of the immense amount Of dirt l and filth that gathers iu that street from ste conetsnt travel to which it is subjeoted. The proposed gravel SUP face for the street will be es filthy as the present mud surfe ca so far as that goes for is..oannos be swept and kept clean and She mud surface has the ad- vantage over the gravel that when 1t gets so everlsstingly foul that the peo- pie oannos stand it any longer the suF- face can be shoveied of and hauled aHsY to the fields for manure.

THE HoTcHK1ss MURDER.


 The Wife's Queer Testimony-lt Has Caused Interest in the Murder at Killingworth and the Case Will Prove Notorious.
 Klllingworth Sept. 6-The excite ment caused by the testimony given by Mrs. Hotchkiss at the justice hear ing of Herman Sachs on Saturday, in the Hotchkiss tragedy, instead of abating increases. Mrs. Hotchkiss' statement, practically charging Sachs with the crime, has caused a profound stir, and everyone is talking about it, To present an accurate digest of the various opinions held by the townspeo- pie would require columns of space, but | 1t may be stated that everyone here abouts is perfectly certain that the whole story is not yet told. | The widows strange conduct in aban- doning in court the reticence which has marked her course is not yet explained, and in their efforts to fathom the mys tery the residents are putting two and two together and are formulating a theory which has for its chiefest feat ure dark scandal.
 There are several who firmly believe in Sachs innocence, and others who be- | lieve that if he was in at the death it was with an accomplice. Other stories are afloat, which, if untrue, are most cruel. If true, the coming high court trial will be replete with sensational in- cidents, and the Sachs case will become one of the most notorious in the annals of Connecticut criminology.

INDIAN HORSES KILLED B
 BARRED WIRE FENCES.

Many Indian horses are being killed on the reservation by barbed-wire fences. The degenerate horses, aban- doned by their Indian owners, have be- come an acknowledged nuisance upon the public ranges. They roam about in large herds, and are as wild as antelopes. Their watering places have been fenced up and it is hard to divert them from the runaways of lifetime. who holds his command with dis cipline that would be a credit to military tactics. These. herds range on the hills, far from water. seeking the springs only once or twice a week. Their runs are sometimes as far as ten miles, The stallion drives the herd to water, following in their flying wake and driving every struggling beast with hoof and teeth, pushing them at a high rate of speed, much after the manner of buffaloes. Mad with thirst and blinded with dust they rush into the wire fences that cross the old trails the leaders being driven with suct force that throats are cut and legs are severed, but the fences go down an6 The herd proceeds over ploughed field: and growing crops. As Q result, the reservation is covered with dead anC dying horses every sectionreporting the same scene and allowing the victims tt fare as best they may.-Spokes man-Review.

1t Is Engaging the Attention of Secretary

1t is Engaging the Attention of Secretary
BIiss-SurveiIlance of the Segregated
Tracts.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Secretary
Bliss is taking great interest in the
forestry problem and is watching the
developments in the comprehensive
system of employing special agents,
with assigned districts, for the COM
plete supervision and surveillance Of
the segregated tracts. Some time ago,
under the authority of congress, the
states embracing the various reserves
were placed in districts, each in charge
of a special agent, appointed by the sec
retary of the interior, with authority
for employing such assistants as were
necessary.
This scheme, though limited in ef-
fectiveness by a meager appropriation,
is being put in force as rapidly as cir
cumstances will permit. The results
so far attained are regarded with sat-
isfactIon by the department.
One of the most important results
has been to check the ravages of for
est fires. This feature especially has
met with the approval of the settlers
and has secured their hearty co-opera-
ton.
Commissioner Herman of the gen.
eral land office is now making a per-
sonal inspection of the new system
and its working on the Pacific coast.
He reports seeing one forest fire, which
would ordinarily have been destructive,

no TALK ACROSS THE SEA.
Experts Have Given Up the Idea Of .
transatlantic Telephone.

Experts Have Given Up the Idea OF .
Transatlantic Telephone.
Financial and commercial interests
between this country and European
leading centers have received a final
setback in most important direction,
that of using the telephone between
New York and the commercial centera
of Europe.
Almost from the moment the tele-
phone service came in general use bank
ers and brokers clapped their hands
with delight. They thought that they
saw at no distant period the establish
ment of a transatlantic telephone sys-
tenn by which they could communicate
with their agents abroad, and so anni-
hilate time and distance that transac-
tions on the exchanges or bourses would
be but the matter of a few minutes.
would it be possible to use the At
lantic cables as telephone medium
without interfering with the regular
work of the cable?" was the momen-
tous question the scientists had to deal
with. The fact that telegraph COM
panies daily work quadruplex system,
by which eight telegraph operators
were on the one wire at once, four at
either end, nourished the belief that
after all, through some yet undiscov-
cred land connections, business men
would be able to chat with each other
without in any way disturbing the del
icate signals constantly passing to and
fro on the cable.
The most expert electricians through
out the world took the matter in hand,
but after years of unceasing study
The cable companies threw no obstacle
in the way of the scientists; on the
contrary, they encouraged them. The
scheme, so far reaching and beneficial
to the business world, was kept as
quiet as possible, but now that there
does not seem the least possibility of
carrying it out the secrecy has been
abandoned.
George G. Ward, vice president of the
Postal Telegraph company, was asked
yesterday if there was any possibil-
ity of using cables for telegraphic and
telephone purposes at one and the
same time. He promptly answered.:
81 am afraid not. In fact, know that
SuCn d luIuS ID III upooS1OiC' AAC WAOAS
thing, after long study, has been aban-
doned. A noted European electrical
expert, who has given the matter his
attention for years, says it can't be
done, and he adds that if you were to
construct a telephone by which you
could talk to people in London, Paris,
Berlin or st. Petersburg, you would
have to use a transmitter as big as a
barrel. There is still another insur-
mountable Barrier in the way of trans
atlantic telephone service. Take, for
instance, your long-distance telephone
service as it stands to-day. Look what
it costs. Now, then, what would it
cost, even based on the same lines, to
telephone to any of the great CONNER
cial cities of Europe. Just think of
being asked to pay $50 or $50 minute.
Where is the business man who could
afford such an expenditure? Then,
again, look at the millions of people
who never use the telephone at all.
It costs money to manufacture and lay
cables and to use one for telephone
services alone would never pay.-N. Y.
