5. The Bertha brings no later news
than was brought down by the Danube,
which left st. Michaels one day before
the Bertha. Fourteen passengers came
down on the Bertha, with about 100000
in gold, most of 1t being in the possess
sion Of Arthur NJ. Pope and Harry
Wright. Isaac Dietrich, a mine owner
and expert of San Francisco, was on
the Bertha. In an interview Mr.. Diet
rich said
'I have made basty trip of observa-
ton of some of the gold sections of
Alaska. thought so favorably Of the
outlook that I got right into the har-
ness and have four men at work. AL
though gold mining in Alaska is in its
extreme infancy, yet ] predict as great
a rush to certain parts Of Alaska as
there is now to Dawson.
Il do not think there viii be such
great strikes as there were at Dawson,
but there VIII be occasionally some
thing like $50 to $50 a day to the man.
My friend Captain Stanley has enough
ground on Bonanza creek to warrant
the statement that he has as good as
50. 900, 900 in bank.
such big strikes as his are as hard
to find as the big nuggets. The forma-
tions Of the gold bearing districts Of
Alaska are just about like the Klondike,
and the conditions are the same. The
extent of the gold bearing country is
about 300 miles long and nearly 200
miles wide. It seems to be an extension
OF the Rocky mountain belt. 1t will re-
quire many years to prospect this great
country. At present only the richest
ground can be worked. but as expert
ments are made the less paying ground
VIII afford a profit. I am Of the firm
opinion that the rich placer fields of
Alaska will lead to the discovery OF
quartz veins carrying a far greater
amount Of gold than We have In Cali
fornfa"

New York, Oct. 15.-Senorita Evange-
lima Cosio y Cisneros, who had passed
30 many weary months in a Spanish
prison in Havana, is now safe in New
York. She arrived here Thursday morn
Ing on the Ward line steamship Seneca,
after a thrilling escape from Cuba
dressed as a man and under an assum-
ed name. The young fugitive was tax
en- from the steamer at quarantine and.
after reaching this city In tugboat,
was taken to the Waldorf.
The way in which Senorita Cisneros
escaped from Havana, when the steam
er sailed last Saturday. was no less
startling than her escape from the Re-
coJidas jail in Havana three nights be-
fore. when her rescue was effected by
two reporters OF the New York Journal,
one Of whom. Karl Decker, arrived in
the city last night.
Since her sensational flight from cap
tivity until Saturday evening Senorlta
Cisneros was kept concealed some
where In Havana All the time she was
waiting in fear and trembling, dreading
recapture, plans for her flight to this
city were being arranged.
A transportation ticket and passport
made out in the name of Mr.. Juan So
la were obtained for the girl, so that
on Saturday evening, a short time be-
fore the Seneca weighed anchor, every
thing was ready for the venture. Dis
guised as a man, with her long black
hair concealed under a sombrero, Sc

Two Spanish detectives stationed al

Her Prayer Of Thankfulnesa.
Cape Hatteras light was the first thing
Senorita CisnerOs saw on the coast.
When she learned that the light was in
the United States the young woman
was overcome by emotion and, before
all the passengers. knelt on the cabin
floor and prayed. AS she arose she
wept. The FIRST sight OF the country she
had heard 80 much about had proved
too much for her overstrained nerves.
Among Mise Cisneros' fellow passen-
gere on the Seneca were Hon. Walter

qua la Grande; II. T. Stewart, Mrs. b.

The reason bank circulation has been
decreasing through term Of years, and
why it ia inelastic. remaining almost
without change from season to season,
is that the security for it is a deposit Of
government bonds. The bank capital is
in the treasury instead of in business.
The profits ON circulation decline as the
bonds increase in value or the rate Of
interest declines, and the redemption
process is slow and Ineffective. The
dangers Of the government currency
and the deficiencies of the bank curren-
cy are now pretty we'll recognized, and
sery day shows increased earnestness

And.so. after adventures such as have

stars and stripes floated from the stern
of the Seneca and the lights of Ha-

HIS WIFE,s LETTER.
Sent Forward by Ex-Speaker Lobdell
by Mistake, to Be Read.

Many amusing incidents transpire
during a legislative session, and the
one now beginning, follows established
presidents.
On the Republican side Charles Lob
dell was the first to cause a general
outbreak of laughter. He wanted the
house to pass a resolution giving to ].
L. Cox, the delegate from Norton coun-
ty the full rights and privileges of a
member. including mileage and per
diem, but not the right to vote.
Mr.. Lobdell sent a paper to the speak
er's desk to be read.
The clerks looked at it. and passed it
up to the speaker, who examined it
carefully.
1.-The gentleman from Lane has ap-
parently sent the wrong paper to the
DESK said Mr.. Street.
With considerable surprise depicted
upon his countenance, Mr.. Lobdell
said:
Let's see what it isl
The members cheered and a number
exclaimed:
What is that paper?"
oh said Mr.. Lobdell, cit is only a
letter to my wife"
Amidst vociferous applause Mr.. Lob
dell escaped to his seat.
Weilep of Cherokee wanted to amend
Mr.. Lobdells resolution, and objected
to its consideration yesterday, wher-
upon it went over under the rules until
today, the present house having adopt
ed for temporary use the rules of the

support a candidate from the eastern
part of the state.
There is quite a disposition of the
members OF the legislature to say TO the
candidates for the position that when
the fights gets settled down to four men
in the caucus that they must get to-
gether and form a combination by
which one of them gets the office and
the others will go into company with
him and do the work and divide the
profits. The reason this plan is urged
is that the office pays more than it is
right that any one man should get, and
if the profits were divided between four
it would make q good thing for all of
the men that were in the combine All
the candidates profess to be opposed
to such plan, as they fear that if they
make a combination and it is found out
it would be fatal to the chances of all
that are in the deal, and then they are
also afraid that the legislature will cut
down the fees so that the position will
not pay so much in the future as it has
in the past.
If the legislature should compel the
candidates who stay in the fight till
there are only four left in the race to
pool issues and form a combination, it
is not likely that the taxpayers of the
state Will be relieved of the enormous
fees now paid to the state printer, as in
that case the members that take this
means of getting out of the fight VIII
have to see to it that the Office is fat
enough to support four or five men,

4 TRUST DEED BILL.
To be Introduced by Representative
Cubbison.

Representative Cubbison, Republican,
Kansas City, Kan, will Introduce at the
earliest opportunity and urge for pas
sage a bill creating trust deeds, a meas
ure for which he claims great adVant-
ages to borrowers and no disadvant-
ages.
This law does not repeal the existing
mortgage law. 1t simply creates an
additional method of borrowing money
and is an exact copy of the Missouri
trust deed law, which has been in OPP
Grafton in that state for twenty years
This law gives the borrower the OPP
ton of borrowing under the present
mortgage law or under the trust deed
law. If he borrows under the mort
gage law he will have to pay from
to 10 per cent for the money, but if he
borrovvs under the trust deed law he
can get il at from to per cent. I'm
der the present mortgage law the mort
gagor can retain possession of the prop
erty without the payment of either in
terest or principal, for over two years
after defaulting payment.
Under the trust deed law he could
not hold possession for more than three
or four months after default. The
trust deed law also provides for re-
demption within one year, provided Sc
curity is given for the payment of in
terest and taxes after sale.
This trust deed is foreclosed out of
court so that all court costs in fore
closure cases are saved.
The principal benefit of this BILL
said Mr.. Cubbison lis that il shows
that Kansas is not in favor of repudia-
ton, furnishes a rapid collection of
debts, will give the people of Kansas
who desire to borrow money on good
security an opportunity to do so, and l
think it will do more to restore the good
credit of Kansas than any other meas
ure which could be passed at this SEES
sion, and yet it does not in any way
affect the present mortgage law, and
those who desire to borrow money and
pay a large interest for it and hold the
possession of the property for three or
four years after maturity of the debt
still have the option and the right to
borrow under the old law.
The twenty years experience of
Missouri under a law similar to this
and the fact that money can be bor
roWed in Missouri on real property at
5 per cent, ought to convince anyone of
the wisdom of this needed legislation"
