A letter received here from Alaska
brings particulars Of the terrible death
of three men, Blackstone, Bottcher and
Mollique, who were frozen to death en-
deavoring to carry mail from Sunrise
City across the glacier to Prince William
Sound. The letter came from Charles

merchant will be happy with the in

army subject to our party's call, brave
and victorious in every conflict.
A resolution was adopted directing a
telegram be sent to President McKin-
ley congratulating him upon the success
Of the Republican administration, as
serting that the promised era of prosper
ity was near fulfillment. Letters of con-
graduation were read from President
Mckinley, and after referring all reso-

which meets tonight, the convention ad
journed until tomorrow.
The attendance of delegates was fair
for an "off year" in politics Nearly ali
the states were represented, although
the quotas of delegates are small in sew
eral instances. The absence of party
leaders, who are prominently identified
with the administrative and legislative
departments of the national and state
governments is conspicuous feature.
The assemblage comprises chiefly the
younger members of the party who,

SILVER REPUBLICANS.

Senator Kyle, in q personal ex
PLANTATION made on the floor OF the
Senate Tuesday, said that his assign.
ment to his old position as chairman Of
the committee on education and labor,
came to him entirely unsolicited, and
without any previous understanding or
arrangement with the republicans. 1t
Is we'll known that Senator Kyle has
not changed his financial views to any
great extent. All this goes to show
that q. SO called ''silver republican, y
who cares less for twisting the tail OF
the British lion and the other foreign
animals than he does for sound money
and conservative and liberal republic
can policy, will be welcomed back into
good standing In the republican ranks.
It also shows that the republicans are
not opposed to silver, but meant just
what they said when they pledged
themselves to bimetallism just as soon
as the leading nations Of the world
could be brought to cooperate In it.

SILVER AND pOpULlsls.

This is the way Tom Watson, recent
" candidate for the vice presidency on
the populistic ticket, expresses his
present attitude on the silver question:
''Great heavens! Are We to be COM
PEELED to listen four long years to q
constant humping on that one key OF
the piano-silver, silver, silver! Is
there no balm In Gilead for the bruised
and battered ear? IL silver to be the
Aaron's rod Of the reform movements?
Are We never to hear anything from
orator and editor and book writer ex-
cept the continual beating Of the same
string in the vain effort to say some
thing about silver? IL silver the Alpha
and Omega Of human life? Give the
other issues chance. We don't know
how you feel, comrade, but we are sick
unto death Of seeing the peoples party
swung around by . handful OF utterly
selfish millionaire silver mine owners.
It WAS = day Of infinite woe TO our
movement when We allowed a few place
hunters to place populism on the shelf
In the interest Of silverism."

necessarily mean the continuance Of
the telephone monopoly. It signifies
simply that this patent was not OBJ

cannot be invalidated on these grounds.

newed upon other lines, but with what

How Jule. Verne works.

Long before Jules Verne ever thought
of turning his talents in the direction
in which he has been SO successful, he
was fond of taking notes and of MAX
ing cuttings out OF books, magazines.
and scientific reports. Whenever he
had a spare hour or two he classified
his corrections according to subjects,
and these have proved invaluable to
him. AS fresh plots and ideas occurred
to himAand he now has some thirty
skeleton novels put away-he jOtted
dcwn much as does Sardou, the dram
atist, his initial idea, and as time wen:
on, whenever he found anything whica
could be OF value in working out plot!
he added it to the envelope inscribed
with the title of the story. AS con-
scientious worker, M. Verne can have
few rivals. He begins by celebrating
the heads OF each chapter OF a new
book, then he writes rough draft Of
the whole, and sends it to the printers,
aud not till the appearance Of his first
set Of proofs doey his real hard work
begin. He is never satified with less
than dozen revisions, and to the de-
spair Of his publisher 1t often happens
that the last proof of all bears hardi;
any traces Of the original manuscript.

.sty NJ Jones, | was running between
Green bay and Escanaby carrying flour
and provisions. wasn't living here
in Abraham then, but I used to put in
at Eagle Island whenever the weather
got rough, for it's the best harbor in
the whole Green bay-inside that basin
you're just as quiet as if you were in
the arms Of your mother. We was on
the down trip, light, and out by Cham
bers' Island the wind went down and
saw 1t was going to be a dead ca'm,so
said we'd put into Eagle harbor for the
night. 1t was dark by the time we'd
got our anchorage and ct supper, but
the mate and the crew took the yawl
boat and went ashore. They hacn't
more'n got out of hearing when the
cook said he was about out of butter
and he pulled over to the village in
the dingey to get some more.
Twas left alone and l set on top. of
the cabin a-smoking and looking at
the path the moon made on the water.
for the whole bay was as smooth as il
oil had been poured on it. thought

and gurgling. listened a bit and then
went as far as the foremost. 1 amt
afeard Of squalls or human beings, but
saw something that made me shake
like had chill. saw two hands
gripping the gunwale and they was
dead hands. They was little, but they
had long, crooked nails, and a broad
thumb that looked as If 1t could
choke the breath from mans throat.
I watched 'em clutching the rail and in
a minute head came up and the eyes
looked straight into mine. As l said
before amt no coward. but them
eyes Just drew out my grit. They
was long and not very wide open and
the color Of blue steel. But the mouth
was worse, for it was the only red in
the white face and the upper lip was
short and showed the little, sharp
teeth-the mouth was smiling, but 1t
made your heart sick. And the head
had long, yeller hair that was dripping
wet and all tangled up with weeds and
shells. While was staring 1t came
over me that it was a woman-a dead
woman. s
When she'd got on deck she walked
aft, paying no more attention to me
than II I'd been the capstan. Then
two men came crawling up the side.
They wasn't pretty to look at and one
hoa = hl,vo ccar clear acrOss his cheek.
but after seen the woman could
stand them. All Of 'em had the faces
of drowned folks and where they
walked the deck was sloshtng with

went aft and saw EN- all 80 down
