BUREAU OF INFORMATION
The Alaska Trade Committee Will Es-
tablish One in the Old Ferry
Depot.

H. II. Sherwood appeared before the
Harbor Commission Yesterday on behalf
OF the Alaska trade com m ittee. He asked
for space in the ferry depot TO make an
exhibit and establish bureau Of informa-
tion. Commissioner Chaibourne thought
the old restaurant IN the southern part of
the Southern Pacific waitingroom could
be used. 1t is doubtful whether it is large
enough. however. The matter will be
looked into at once and space will be as
signed the committee at the next regular
meeting Of the board.
The Spring Valley Water Company
made connection with one of its mains
for the board and charged $25 for the ac-
commodation. Thereby il has raised a
hornets nest. The com pany's mains are
strung from one end of the water front to
the other under the State wharves, and
not cent is paid for the privilege.

ney the $2) was paid, and at the next

Company's S privileges will be discussed.
The Harbor Com missioners are still in
a quandary over the purchase OF piles for
the work OF repairing the wharves. Ali
the bids seem TO be too high, but then
again there is always the chance of t. cir
going sun higher. one thing Is certain
there viii be no reduction in the rates for
four or five months TO come, as piles are
hard to procure during the winter
months. In any event it would take a
vessel ten weeks or more to make the
round trip at is time Of the year.
On October 26 bids for the supply of
piles were opened, and Healy, TIbbetts &
Co. Were the lowest bidders at ii 40
u $40 and IA 9-1O cents per lineal foot, re-
spectlyely, according to the length of the

THE INDIAN OF OLD.
A Creek Murderer Like the Hero of
Dime Novel.

A Creek Murderer Like the Hero of a
Dime Novel.
Chelsea, I. T., Nov. 3.-Today 8. John
Watka, the Creek Indian who shot
Jonas Deer, another member of his
own tribe, was legally executed for the
crime.
The men were rivals for the hand of
the same girl, and fought at dance at
which she was present, to decide who
should gain her. Watka killed Deer
and afterwards married, the Indian
maiden.
Several days prior to the trial prepa-
rations for his wife's future welfare
were completed, and the pang of part
ing over, Watka set out alone to the
public execution grounds. In due time
he arrived-the crowd was in waiting.
The prisoner assumed his position on
bended knees, with arms tied behind
and a blindfold over his eyes. The
rifle was placed in the hands of keen
marksman; there was sharp crack,
and the white spot marked over the
heart was discolored with the squirting
blood caused by the deadly bullet.
Late this summer Watka went to
Kansas City with a baseball team of
his fellow reds and played game at
one of the parks. He had ample oppor-
tunity to escape, but returned to the
territory of his own accord that his SEN
tence might be carried out.

ESQUIMAUX NOT THRIVING.
All Six Whom Peary Brought Down
Quartered in Hospital.

All Six Whom Peary Brought Down
Quartered in Hospital.
New York, Nov. 4.-The party OF
six Esquimaux whom Lieutenant Peary
brought here and who are now in
Bellevue hospital, are having a hard
time of it. Aulun-Gua-W Wosa, the
matron of the party. is critically i'll,
but the Bellevue physicians have hopes
of saving her life. The troubles of the
whole party are caused by the climate,
and the strangest thing about it is that
their tongues are affected. They ara
suffering from pneumonia and kindred
complaints, a disease which it would
be supposed they could ward off the
best. Instead of contracting pneumonia
from the cold, they apparently contract
it from the heat. They complain much
of the Excessive heat" and long for a
sight of the ice-clad fields of their ma
tive land.
Superintendent Murphy has done all
he can to make his Arctic patients
comfortable and permits them to roam
about the hospital and grounds at their
will.
superintendent Murphy mas con-
siderable trouble in providing the Es-
quimaux with food which they desire.
They like chunks of fat pork, as it ap.
proaches nearest to the fat of the wal
rus.
Mr.. Murphy thinks that the Esqui-
maux thrive better when left to them
selves. Visitors are too much inclined
to stuff them with sweetmeats and
similar indigestible foods.

A FATAL ENDING.
One Killed and Three Fatally Wounded
in Political Riot.

in a Political Riot.
Commercial-Tribun from Frankfort,
KY, says: A riot in which Frank
Egbert, of the Frankfort fire depart
ment, was riddled with bullets, and
Deputy Sheriff Tes Deakins, John
Smith and Walter Coins were fatally
wounded, occurred at 1:45 A. M. The
tragedy was the result of an attempt
on the life of Ben Marshall and other
political workers, about midnight.
Marshall and others heading the
fight for the Democratic municipal tick
ct, started for the country with load
of negroes. Egbert, full of liquor, or
ganized band and started in pursuit.
AS Marshall and John Smith were re
turning from the country, Egbert fired,
wounding Smith probably fatally.
Marshall recognized Egbert. Marshall's
friends and the friends of Smith armed.
and from 12 until l O'Clock so men
were located in various parts of the
town, commissioned by County Judge
Williams as deputy sheriffs.
At I:45 O'Clock Egbert came down
Main street in companwwith Walter
Coins, both brandishing their revolvers
in the most threatening manner. Eg-
bert began firing. Deputy Sheriff Dea-
kins fell mortally wounded. Instantly
SO shots were fired, and Egbert fell,
riddletd with bullets. Coin fell close
by Egbert. Doctors say Deakins, Eg-
bert and Coins can live only short
time

Supplies Are to Be Sent in by Rein
deer Express.
Chicago, Nov. 4.-The threatening
famine in the Yukon valley will be re-
lieved. DIR. Sheldon Jackson, en- route
from the Klondike to Washington, said
that the recent order of Secretary Alger
to Colonel Randall, in command of the
military reservation at St. Michaels,
directing him to use reindeer for haul
ing food to the miners will relieve
much suffering.
DR.. Jackson has in the herd 200
head of reindeer trained to harness.
He also has two Laps and several Esqui-
maux experts in driving deer. whom he
can turn over to Colonel Randall. He
further states that the present exigency
emphasizes the urgent need of procur-
ing trained reindeer in large numbers;
that the mines of Alaska are so pecul-
iarly situated that they cannot be sup
piled with continuous adequate food
supply until reindeer transportation is
Systematically organized on large scale.

BLANCO NOW REIGNS.
fhe New Captain-Genera Issues 8
Proclamation.


Havana, Nov. 3.-On the arrival of
General Blanco, the new captain-gen-
eral, the streets and the vessels in the
harbors were gaily decorated. The
wharves were crowded with people,
and the troops and volunteers lined the
thoroughfares from the landing stage
to the palace. When Marshal Blanco
arrived at the palace he was met by
the civil and military authorities and
by commissioners representing the va
rious political parties, and then pro-
ceeded to the hall of conferences,
where, in accordance with the ritual
and ceremonies customary on such oc-
casions, he took the oath of fidelity to
Spain.
Marshal Blanco has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation to the inhabitants
of Cuba:
81 am again among you in good will
and sincere desire to serve the gen.
eral welfare and to establish lasting
peace. l shall follow broad policy In.
my endeavor to restore fraternity among
all of Cuba's inhabitants. am sincere
in my intention to inaugurate new
government policy, the object of which
will be to secure and preserve peace.
81 hope you will all salute and en-
brace the Spanish flag, throwing aside
all prejudices and discarding alliance
with those who are staining the coun-
try with blood.
"Clemency awaits all who observe
the laws, but however regretable it
may be, 1 shall vigorously fight those
who obstinately or ungratefully con-
tinue to carry on war"
The following proclamation has been
issued by Marshal Blanco to the armed
forces of the island:
81 desire to express my admiration
for you who in two years of hard cam
paigning have always bravely fought
the infamous revolution. This / soon
expect to suppress through your heroic
efforts, and with the concurrence of the
whole country, which will unhesitat-
ingly side with US to fight the victims
of hallucinations, who aspire only to
what must bring complete destruction,
and which offers as the only compensa-
tion treason to the history of their race
or the sale of their country to for
e1gnerS.
"Let there be war, therefore, on the
stubborn enemies OF the Spanish peo-
pie and protection for those who ask
the clemency of Spain; and let this
war, which dishonors US and is max
ing us penniless. be vigorously prose-
cuted.''
There is no reference to autonomy in
either proclamation, and both have
produced bad effect among all SYM
pathizers with the insurrection.
Marshal Blanco when formally as
suming his new functions at the palace
said to the deputations of the conserva-
tive, autonomists and reformist parties
that in order to obtain peace through
the new policy it would be necessary
for all political parties to unite. He
mades no overrr-es ef-antoHso1ays, ner
did he express any preference for any
of the Cuban political parties.

spurious character was detected.
