To Divide Alaska,

Unalaska, Sept. 90. (By the revenue
cutter Corwin to Seattle, Wash, Oct.
15.)-Lincoln territory, in all probable
ity, before the adjournment of another
congress will have been carved from
the vast domain of Alaska. For many
months past there have been whisper
ings of such action, and the movement
has gone so far that petitions have been
prepared for circulation in this north
ern country asking congress to create
the territory. Briefly outlined, the pro-
posed territory will embrace the Yukon
basin from the international boundary
line on the east, to the seacoast on the
west. The northern boundary will be
the Arctic ocean, and the southern an
irregular line from Mount ST. Elias to a
point about midway between the mouth

New Orleans, Oct. 14.-Wednesday
was the record smasher in the mum Der
of deaths in single day from yellow
fever since the sickness was first re-
ported in New Orleans. 1t is difficult
TO find the cause, except in the fact that
concealment, neglect and rebellion
against the authority of the board of
health have made it difficult for the
physicians to give proper attention to
cases. AT seven o'clock p. N. there had
been nine fatalities reported during the
24 hours. Heretofore, the highest num-
Der of deaths in amy one day has been
six. New cases for the day numbered
81; total cases to date, 6s5; total deaths,

Mobile, Ala, Oct. 14.-Seven new
cases in the city proper and six brought

SOUGHT GLORY IN MURDER.
Austrian Nobleman Imprisoned fos
Life for killing a Deserter.

Austrian Nobleman Imprisoned for
Life for killing a Deserter.
The old adage that murder will out
has once more proved to be true, this
time in Galicia. From there comes q
remarka bic story of how science proved
an Austrian officer to have been guilty
of numbering private of his regiment
The private deserted with the inteD-
ton of coming to this country. He
was captured by the searching party,
but managed to escape. Three days
later the officer, who is said 10 be a
nobleman of high standing, and whose
name has been kept secret by the Aus
trian government, reported that he
had shot and killed the deserter. He
asserted that he had been out hunt
ing when he came across the fugitive.
Halt, in the name of the emperor"
he declared he cried. Then, according
to the story told by the officer, the man
ran away, and on being warned twice
more the officer fired and killed him
The following day the officer was called
before his regiment and complimentec
on his bravery, for the fugitive wss-
known to be a desperate character.
Visions of a medal flashed across the
officers mind, and everything seemed
smooth sailing until a physician re-
ported the result of the autopsy.
The doctor found that the bullet
which had killed the man had taken
a most remarkable course. It had en-
tered the head at the point where the
hair begins, near the left temple. II
then plowed its way downward and
emerged beneath the right clavicie-
This exploded the officers story that
he had shot the man from behind, for
the position of the body wnile running
would make ii an impossibility for the
bullet to have taken the course de-
scribed. The doctor declared that
from the wound il was evident that the
man had been lying fat on his back
when the shot was fired, and that IN
all probability his hands had been
folded beneath the nape of his neck
From this the authorities made the de-
duction that the deserter had been
sleeping when attacked by the officer,
whose desire for glory was stronger
than his humanity. The officer wass
arrested and the corpse of the private
became his accuser, silent, but backed
by the authority of science. A court
martial was held, but the officer stuck
to his original story. When faced by
the scientists and their evidence he
broke down and confessed that he had
shot the man while he was asleep. He
was sentenced to life imprisonment
