THE SUNDAY REGISTER
The Issue of Last Sunday Was Notable
One,

The Issue of Last Sunday Was Notable
One
People are still talking about and
buying last Sundays edition of the
Register. 1t was universally recog-
nlzed as one of the best issues yet given
to cur readers, and a very large edi-
ton was sold.
1t is fact, perhaps not well known
to the general public, that the sales of
the Sunday Register are by no means
confined to the Gay of publication.
Copies are called for daily well on to-
wards the end of the week, and it is
not at all unusual for patrons to ask
Tor number of copies, to be mailed to
friends, in and out of the city.
The Sunday Register is a great paper.
and last Sundays was probably the
best issue yet made. 1t will be soon
surpassed, however.

A CURIOUS CAPTURE.
How Charles Moore Walked Into the Gus
todf Of Chief Bennett, Yesterday

How Charles Moore Walked Into the Gus
tod1 of Chief Bennett, Yesterday.
CharNs Moore, who was held for
grand larceny by Justice Rogers, yes
terday, in that he had robbed car on
the Ohio River Railroad, on the 14th
inst. Of something over twenty dol
lars worth of poultry, was captured
in a curious and unusual manner yes
terday afternoon by Chief of Police
Bennett
The Chief was at his home at noon,
about to sit down to dinner, when
! Moore, who wanted something to eat,
knocked at the door, as matter of
course not knowing that it was the
home of the police chief. The captain
opened the door in person and asked
what was wanted. Moore said he was
hungry. The captain recognized him
at once as a mar who was badly want
ed, but nevertheless played the host to
perfection and asked his caller in and
invited him to seat at the dinner ia
bic. The meal was good one and the
guest did his share toward demoIish-
ing it, although he was a little i'll at
ease, having evidently smelled a ro-
dent as soon as he entered the house.
Nevertheless, he took chances and de-
trimmed to see the thing through. At
ter the meal was over the Chief put
his guest under arrest and took him
to the City Hall, and later he was
taken before Justice Rogers and landed
in Jail.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 30.-Manager
Charles II. Hamilton of the North
American Transportation and Trading
Company, which has the steamer Port
land under charter, reported Saturday
night that his company has at least
$750,000 on board in gold dust and mug
gets that have been gathered in the COM
pany's store at Dawson City, st. Mich
aels and other points on the river.
The information was withheld until the
report of the steamship passing Tatoosh
island light had been confirmed, owing
to the scare head stories that have been
circulated relative to the attempt that
would be made by pirates to loot the
treasure ship. The Post-Intelligencer
Alaskan news syndicate's tug is expected
to arrive in Seattle today, and the report
comes from Port Angeles that the Port
land brought miners and gold.

DEATH OF A FAMOUS ACTRESS.
For seventy Years Mrs. John Ore"
Trod the Boards.

New York, Sept. Mrs. John Drew,
the actress, died yesterday afternoon at
the Beviau house, at Larchmont. She
had been unconscious for three hours.
She had been suffering for several years,
but not seriously until June last. She
was contemporaneous and appeared upon
the stage in the leading parts with the
elder Booth and Forrest, with Florence,
Clark and Owens, all of whom have pass
ed and with jefferson and Couldock,
who still survive She was in her day
an infant prodigy of the English and
American boards, and the most famous
of Mrs. AIaIaprops winning laurels also
as Julie de Mortimer, Ophelia, BESIDE
mona and Pauline, not to mention char
acters in more recently written plays.
With practically no education i'll the ac-
cepted sense, she was an actress of rare
intelligence and refinement. Mrs. Drew
was born in London on January 10,
1920, and seven years later made her
stage debut as Agib in "Timour the Tar
tar" At the age of I she was brought
to America by her mother. an acrtess,
and in the old Walnut street theater,
Philadelphia, she played the Duke of
York to Junius Brutus Booths Richard

RIVER BOATS FAILED TO ARRIVE.
Captain of the Portland Laughs Mt
His Reported Treasure.

Port Angeles, Wash, Aug 3O-Cap.
tain Kidston, in command of the steam
er Portland, reports a pleasant voyage
and explained the delay of three days
in reaching Port Angeles by stating that
a serious storm at st. Michaels delayed
the discharge of his cargo He laughed
when told of the reports that the Port
land was carrying over 100000 gold.
AS a matter of fact, he said, there was
only about $S25,00O in gold dust and
nuggets on board of his vessel. Up to
the time he left st. Michaels he had
heard of no newly discovered gold fields.
Among the Portland's passengers
from st. Michaels is Timothy Bell, who
has with him 100000 in gold, which he
dug from claim which cost $l25.
William Ogilvie, dominion surveyor,
says the 600 claims now staked out will
yield $60,00O,000. From a number of the
Portland's crew it was learned that
Captain Kidston had expected the
Weare, one of the company's boats, to
come down the Yukon with about a
million dollars worth of nuggets and
gold dust, but as she did not arrive in
time, he decided to bring down the
treasure next trip. The United States
cutter Bear, it is said, will go with the
Portland on her next trip from st. Mi
chaels to Seattle As most of the min
ers will make their cleanup by that
time, it is expected that the Portlands
cargo will be valuable one.

MINES AT DYEA AND SKAGUAY.
At the Former Place kIOndil<ers Are
Moving.


Port Townsend, Wash, Sept. 2.-The
steamer FarallOn has arrived six days
from Dyea and Skaguay The of
fcels of the steamer tell interesting
stories of the condition of affairs at
both landings. They say that at Dyea
the people are slowly but surely cross
ing the divide, and the road for 10
miles up the canyon is strewn with
tents, provisions, discarded baggage
and dead horses Less than 1000 peo-
pie are on the beach at Dyea, as all
make efforts to get across the divide as
soon as landed
At Skaguay things present a different
appearance. There are between 5000
and 5000 people at that place. Less than
80 men have succeeded in getting across
White pass and hundreds have given
up trying to cross until spring. The
steamer officers say rain has fallen
there continually for several days, and
it is impossible to cross. All kinds
of business is flourishing. Many men
are selling outfits for little OF moth
ing, while others are buying everything
offered for sale and using the same to
stock general retail stores.

RICH QUARTZ IN TRAIL GULCH.
Report That $500 Was Pounded Out
of % Pounds of Rock.

Wallace, Idaho, Sept. 1.-The report
comes from Thiard that L. j. Starr has
made big find on some of his property
near the head of Trail gulch, pounding
out 5000 from 25 pounds of rock. Sew
eral rich pockets have been found in
the same vicinity while doing assess
ment and development work, one of
them yielding between $4,000 and $4,000.
No work of consequence has been done
in the quartz of Trail gulch except on
the property where Frank Jenkins has
his stamp mill at Thiard, although some
of the richest placer ground in the
Occur dAlenes was between the head
of Trail gulch and Delta, the whole dis
lance paying well in early days and
still being worked.

ly completed he secured an estimate for
$751; and warrant for two-thirds of
the amount was issued. This warrant
was for $3.50, leaving a balance of $4375.
Subsequently the work was stopped and
the plaintiff, so the complaint alleges,
was prevented from proceeding and com
plotting the contract. Payment of the
balance of the estimate was refused
and this suit is now brought to com
pei issuance of warrant to the plain
tiff for the amount.

MAGEE PREFERS CHILCOTT PASS.
Says the Majority of Those at Skag-
uay VIII Fail to Get In.

San Francisco, Aug. 30.-Thomas Ma
gee, ST., who is en- route to the Klon-
dixie gold fields with a party of San
Franciscans, writes to the Associated
Press from Lake Bennett, B. c., under
date of August 10, confirming previous
reports of the terrible condition of the
White pass trail from Skaguay and
relating the almost insurmountabl BILE diff
ticulties to be encountered by the gold
hunters who prefer that route to the
more formidable Chilkoot pass route.
Magee thinks that the majority of the
crowd now at Skaguay and Dyea will
have to abandon all hope of getting in
to the Yukon country this year, and is
certain that late corners have no chance
of doing so.
He also deplores the fact that so
many would-be prospectors seem to
overlook the fact that once started
from Dyea or Skaguay, food and other
supplies are not to be purchased for
love or money, as no one has any more
than he absolutely needs for himself
He thinks that $50 pounds is about the
right amount for each man, but SAYS
that hundreds are starting out with less
than half of that amount, and predicts
disaster for them.

PROMOTER MATHEW HAS FAILED.
Causes. Depreciation of Silver and
COIIADse of RenI Esfnte.

San Francisco, Sept. 2.-The Evening
Post says private advices have been re-
ceived here to the effect that Enrique
Matthew, the well known banker and
promoter OF several gigantic schemes
in Central America, has failed for over
$3,OOO,OOO. His principal creditors are
said to be Europeans, but a San Fran
cisco firm is said to be sufferer to the
extent of $lS0,000. While Matthew's as
sets are estimated at $2,5OOOOO, they
consist for the most part of property in
the vicinity of Guatemala, which can
not be disposed of for half their assessed
value. The cause assigned for the fail
ure is the heavy depreciation in silver
and the collapse of the real estate boom
inaugurated by President Barrios sever
al years ago

PRESENTED SOME TIME AGO
AND CURLY REFERRED
BY THE SPANISH.
II Will Now Be Made A Tombstone
Of Relations To Determine
Whether Spain Holds Herself
Responsible For Guterna-
tOrial Acts In Cuba.

New York, Oct. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Instructions to Minister Woodford
are being prepared at the State de-
partment for presentation to Spain of
another demand for the Immediate
payment for the claim of indemnity
made by Samuel T. Tolan.
The original demand was presented
to the Madrid government by Mr.. Tay-
Tor, who has just returned to the Unit
ed States. He stated in strong Ian
guage that this government would ex-
pect Spain to pay the claimant $780,
900 as indemnity for the sufferings he
had endured. Spain's reply was that it
was under no obligation to pay Tolan
and this has been followed by another
statement which declares that the ac-
ton of the Spanish authorities in Gu
ba was a gubernative measure and
that Spain would be unjust to herself
should she indemnify Tolan.
State department officials insist that
the claim is a just one and will con-
tinue to press it. Tolan was natural
lied in New York City in 1878. He es-
tablished a general business in Car
denas, Cuba, in 1890. He left Carde-
mas for Havana on September /, last
year, intending to sail for the United
States on business. While on board
the steamer Seneca he was arrested by
the police authorities and imprisoned
for ten days in the interior porche of
the court yard of the police station.
He was thrust into a small, hot, filthy
cell on September 18th, and deprived
of all outside communication. He was
removed to the interior porche on APP
ril IL and was deported to the United
States seven days later.
Mr.. Tolon has also pending a claim
for 100000 arising out of the damage
done to his property in Cuba by Span
ish soldiers.
