To the Kansas City Star:
The lord provost Of Glasgow and certain Of
fieials Of the corporation have for some time
past been receiving q considerable number Of
communications from all parts OF America de-
string confirmation Of statement which has
evidently obtained wide circulation and con-
siderable credeHce in the United States to the
effect that as from the commencement Of the
present year the citizens Of Glasgow would be
free from all taxes, or rates, in consequence OF
the profits deFiVable from what those inQuirers
term municipal monopOlies" or. in other
words, the civic administration Of various de-
partments Of the public service, such as street
tramways. gas, water, electric lighting and
other undertakings which are under the charge
of the corporation. have accordingly been re-
quested by the lord provost to inform you that
this statement has no foundation in fact and
that while the muicipal undertakings above
mentioned have been eminently successful
there is no probability Of this city being exempt
from taxation. You viii therefore pardon my
asking you 70 do his iordship the favor Of Civ

The Lieutenant Says Andree VIII
Not Accomplish Anything and

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 24.-Late
this afternoon Lieutenant Peary. who is
in this city said: II have made my plans
for next years expedition. and when 1
leave again, which will be about the end
of next July, it will be to remain up there
till l reach the pole or lose my life in the

plish the object Next summer l shall

"On my last trip I made arrangement
with the Arctic Highlanders. a tribe of
Eskimos, consisting of go men, women
and children, known as The most north
erly tribe OF human beings Oh earth, to
put in this com ing winter obtaining bear,

securing all the walrus meat tney can for

HILL TR BESMEN COWED.
MuHah Promised TO Close the British
Guns by Divine Power, and
Failed.

SIMLA, INDIA, Sept. 24.-Owing to the
protracted campaign against the Nah
mounds Sir William Lockhart, COM
mander of the Punjab frontier forces and
in supreme control of the punitive opera
tlons, has decided to postpone the general
advance against the Afrldis al Tirah, their
summer headquarters, until October 9.
The AfTidis are encam ped in strong
pos ition on a rugged plateau, which it
will be most difficult to scale, and they
are assem- bled there in great force.
According to intelligence received from
SANTANA, an advance body of over 2000 of
the enemy has arrived in the Khanti VAL
ley and is watching the movements of
the British troops. The Afridis are spread
ing a report that the Ameer of Aighanis-
tan has demanded hostages from them,
and VIII help them if hostages are given.
The news from the Mahmound expedi-
ton is very satisfactory.
General Jeffreys, who is meeting with
little opposition, is destroying the enemy's
Notifications and villages. The tribes
men appear cowed and overtures OF sur
render are expected very shortly. 1t ap-
pears that they lost over seventy killed
and large number during the night at
tack on Sir Bindon Blood's column, their
heavy defeat destroying their faith in the
Muliah, who had promised to close the
muzzles of the British guns by divine
power.

BRYAN MUST QUIT TALKING.
Democracy's Leaders Declare Thai
new Issues Are Necessary for
Party Success.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept "a As a result
of conferences between Senator Jones'
chairman OF the National Democratic
Committee, Ex-Governor S'one of Mis-.
souri. Ex-Governor Altgeld, National Com
mitteeman Thomas z. raham, Mayor
Harrison and other prominent Democrats,
there will be a odihcation of the plans of
the Democracy before 1900.
Il is recognized that BRYAN with his
spe' chfying is becoming tiresome, and
he will probably be requested to Withdraw
from under the calcium lii INT of the public
gaze. Free coinage of silver has lost much
of its attractiveness for the farmer, who
now gets dollar in gold for his wheat.
These issues are not promising for an
other campaign and something else must
be found. To the dlscontented element of
society the Democracy will appeal in
State ana local campaigns between the
present time and the Congressional eleC-
tions OF 1898.

ment by 1niunc ion, ''rhe Common Peo-
pie" and such subjects will be the themes

TN DEFENSE
Of LUETGERT
Those Who Claim to
Have Seen the Miss
ing Wife Testify.
Evidence Relating to Her
Threats to Leave the Sau-
sage Maker Ruled Ou..
Nav Tangle In the Cele brated Muir
der Trial Owing to Old Charges
Against a Juror.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 24.-The testi-
mony for the defense in the Luetsert
trial to-day was for the most part that of
witnesses who said they had seen Mrs.
Luetgert in the vicinity of Kenosha, Wis.
within few days after the date on which,
it has been claimed by the State that she
was murdered. An effort was made to
introduce evidence regarding threats that
Mrs Luetgert is said to have made OF
leaving her home. When this question
was first brought up the court ruled that
threats of this kind, when made more
that one week prior to the disappearance
Of the woman would be admissible, but
that he could not permit testimony on
this point dating back further than a
week. The witnesses for the defense who
were to testify regarding the intention OF
Mrs. Luetgert to leave her home had
heard the threats several months prior to
May l. ard the court threw out their evil
dence. Tomorrow the defense will make
a strong effort to get the court to alter his
ruling on this point.
The fact that Juror William Harley was
indicted in 1887 for conspiracy and brib-
cry in connection with the Cook County
the front to-day. There were no new
cases pending against Juror Harley and
he was never put on trial on the lndict
ments against him. State Attorney Dee
nen stated tonight that he had known
for a month all about the former charges
against Juror Harlev.
Had | been fully advised at the time
he was chosen l might have objected to
him, said the State Attorney Il have
since spoken 10 eX-State Attorney Longe-
necker, who had charge of the County
Commissioner Doodle cases, and he as
sured me that Juror Harley was per-
fectly honest, honorable and reliable man
and that ali the charges against him had
been wiped out. He was indicted at a
time when all men holding any kind of a
county contract were looked upon with
suspicion. The State is perfectly satisfied
with the makeup OF the jury"
State Attorney Deenen was apparently
not disturbed by the evidence of the wit
nesses from kenosha, Wis, who iuenti-
fed the picture OF Mrs. Luet CERT as hat of
a strange woman they saw Ill the Wlscon-
sin town on May 3, ami 5.
Nv ait until We put on our rebuttal evil
dence." said Ike States attorney. I'VE
will show this defense UP In way that
will be surprising"
Tomorrow witnesses will be called to
show Luetgerts trea tment of his wife. 1t
will be sought to be shown that he was a
model husband and that his home life was
pleasant or reasonably so, and thai there
was no unusual pickering or ouarreling
between hi imself and his wife.
Next week the testimony of experts in
regard TO the bones found in the factory
will be heard.

VERY COLD AT sKAGUAY.
But the Majority OF the Gold
Hunters Have Already Crossed
Tia Trail

SEATTLE, WASH, Sep 24.-The latest
news from he Skaguavs trail was brought
down by John Vance, Government in
structor in the Indian school at \ ah
Bav, who arrived Oh the steamer AL HI.
lie left Skaguay two days after the ALL
had sailed from Juneau, going to Juneau
on the steamer Detroit, thence TO Depar-
ture Bay on the George w. Elder and to
Seattle on the Al-ki. He was at Skaguay
last Friday. Vance says it will be gi-
ganuc undertaking for any company to
attempt the construction OF a railroad to
the summit of While Pass. As he was
the memoe of surveying party making
the preliminary calculations for route
from the seashore to the summit this
statement is considered authoritative.
Vance said:
Under Chief Engineer A. r. Cook, who
is from the East, we are making our sur
vey from the summit of White Pass TO the
shore, a distance OF about seventeen miles
according 10 rough calculations. This
distance for a railroad, will probably be
increased to twenty miles. Up TO the time
| left, last Friday. we had surveyed about
twelve miles from the summit. The route
will be difficult 10 any one who attempts
to build road. There is absolutely no
soil; all is rock and big powders which
would have to be overcome by blasting.
The expense of this would be enormous.
The grades would not be particularly
great. There are numberless survey par
ties in that country. At Stickeen River
there is a party making preliminary sur
veys; another at Takou Inlet, represent
ing Eastern people. and two on the Dyea
trail.
"One of the parties at Dyea is led by
A Mel. Hawkes. of Tacoma for the Puget
Sound and Alaska Steamship Company.
The prospectors and miners who have
been congregated at Skaguay the last sew
eral weeks are all now well over the trail.
They have had HARD tussle, but have
got through all right The greatest
impediment they had to meet was them
selves for the trail was so crowded by the
mum berless horses and movers that de-
lay in the front forced all in the rear to
stop. The trail was almost solid mass of
mud, but it could be traversed. The
weather when l left was exceedingly dis
agreeable, so much so thai We could
do hardly any work except little time
bout noon. The fogs are exceedingly
heavy until that time of day. There are
heavy severe frnsts every night"
