Seattle, Wash, Aug. 30.-In speaking
of the Klondike gold fields, William
Oglvie, dominion surveyor Of the
Northwest territory. discourages all
strangers from going into that bleak
country He denies that any differ
ence regarding the boundary line exists
between Canada and the United States.
He says gold has been found in a GER

through the Cariboo and Cassiar dis
tricts. Project the axis of this zone
northweaterly and we touch the Teslin
lake, Hootalinqua river, Steward river,
Indian creek, Troandike, Sixty-Mil
Forty Mile, American creek, Seventy
Mile and Birch creek. Now, it is highly
improbable that gold being found at all

Chairman Steinbliss, of the local
committee of arrangements, called the
conference to order at 10 o'clock. About
100 people were scattered about the

called, the corridors of the court build

to gain admittance.
Contrary to the expectation of the
state, the jury viii be asked by the
defense TO witness an experiment in
the vat in the basement of the sausage
factory. This is to be the result of an
experiment conducted by Luetsert's at
torneys, Saturday ard YESTERDAY The
body of a man, of about Mrs. Luet-
gertS age ard light, aho met L atn
by violence Thursday, was taken 10 the
factory at 63T Diversey avenue and i'm
mersed in q solution of caustic potash
The result exceeds their expectations
The experts reported that after boiling
the body in a 10 per cent solution of
the potash for some length of time
three and one half hours and under the
same circumstances as the state alleges
LuetgeTt disintegrated the body OF his
wife, the complete skeleton Of the ca
dayer remained intact, and the solu-
ton had but little effect upon the cloth
ing.
As a result of the test, the defense
will, it is said, ask Judge Tuthill to
remove his court and the jury TO the
basement Of the big sausage factory for
a few hours and witness another eXper-
iment which the defense claims will
completely disproye the states theory
of disintegration.

dragged from the tent and tied up right
TO q pole. The committeeman stood off
a short distance and at the word shot

the bleeding form beneath the ground.

st. Louis, Aug. 2"-The conference of
labor leaders viii began this morn
ing had busy day and tonight the end
is in sight. What the conference has
accomplished. if anything, is in doubt.
1t is not believed the leaders have at
tanned any definite result and, in fact,
the president of one of the national or
CARNATIONS said the failure of the con-
ference was foregone conclusion.
Il should feel very much chagrined,"
said this gentleman, ''if 1 had any part
in the converting of this conference"
The committee on resolutions and
plan of action was at work all after
noon and evening, and tonight Mr..
Eovereign announced that they had
formulated a plan, but declined to give
any details. The platform, it is eX-
pected, will be submitted to the con-
vention tomorrow morning. The IA diff
ferent organizations represented in the
convention make an unWieldy body,
and it is evident all of them cannot be
satisfied with a platform formulated by
five ms n representing as many branches
of organized labor.
Mr.. Ratchford's plan of petitioning
President Mckinley to convene an extra
session of congress TO enact measures
providing for the settlement of the
present labor difficulties, or, as he puts
it, ITO define the rights of citizens, if
any" did not meet with the approval
he had hoped for, and it is not believed
the plank Will be incorporated in the
platform.
Although present in the convention
all day, Mr.. Debs did not speak. nor did
he put in an appearance at the nights
mass meeting, where he was widely adj
yertised to make an address.
He is represented on the resolutions
committee, however, by MIR. Berger and,
as he has remained pretty close to the
gentlemen composing that committee,
it is safe to say his social democracy
idea will be represented.
It is thought an adjournment will be
reached some time tomorrow.

plan of action"
This brought out a flood of amend
ments and motions, but the whole mat
ter was finally tabled and the meeting
adjourned until D. m. at which hour
the report of the committee on creden-
tialS was presented.
The report, after some discussion,
was adopted The general report
showed, also, the presence of one won1-
an delegate. Mrs. Mary Jones, of Chi
cage, who represents the Social Dem
ocracy. The temporary organization
was then made permanent and the
chairman read the call for the conven-
ton.
1t was moved and seconded that a
committee on resolutions. to be made
from one member from each organiza-
ton. be named, each delegation to
choose their member. This was amend
ed by Delegate Stephens of Philadel-
Dhla, to read and plan of action"
Mr.. Mahon of Detroit objected to
this committee as unwie dy. and said
he was perfectly satisfied to leave the
matter of resolutions to q committee Of
five, to be selected by l,he chair. He
amended the resolution to that effect.

4 Of Dietrich Bicknese, brother of Mrs
Luetgert when he called to see his sis
ter and discovered that she had disap-
peared. He dweIt on the apparent in
difference Of the husband, his state
ment that he had not informed the po-
lice but had hired two detectives, and
his Invitation to Bic5nese to call again
in about week. when he would tell
him if anything had been discovered
concerning the whereabouts of his sis
ter
Attorney McEwan told the jury that
Luetgert's statement that he had hired
two detectives to search for his wife
would he pIoxen false.
Mr.. McEwan said it is the theory of
the state that Mrs. Luetgert accom-
panied her husband into the factory
between 1890 and II O'Clock. About
1880 her little son Louis returned from
the circus and saw her sitting in the
kitchen. The conversation of the boy
with his mother was interrupted by
Luettgert who came in and ordered the
boy to bed. Before going to sleep, the
boy heard his father descending the
back stairs toward the factory where
he had slept for years Mr.. McEwan
said it is the theory of the state that
Mrs. Luetgert descended the stairs at
the same time and went to the factory.
Inc boy QDQ not near neT steps, because
she wore house slippers which made no
noise Luetgert and mis- wife were seen
in the alley in the rear of the house a
few minutes later. They were seen
going through a gate which led to no
place except the factory.
The attorney for the state then de-
tailed the movements at the Luetgert
factory, the running on the steam to
the vat. the sending of Waterman
Bailk shortly after to the drug store
and Eail4% subsequent eTrand to a
drug store, all of which kept him out
of the factory for an hour and a half
He was away when Mrs. Luetgert was
last seen alive in the alley.
