ONE THOUSAND SEEKING
TO GET BACK.
NOW IN THE MOUNTAINS.
Fully Twenty Five Per Cent of the
StampOdIng Army VIII Probably
Never Live to Reach Clvillza-
tion--A $4,000 Relief tx
pedltIOn Is PropoSed--
Food Is Inadequate.

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. II. - BY the
steamer Topeka, from Dyea, news is
received that more than thousand
men without adequate supplies of food
stampeded from Dawson during the
latter part of October, and are now
forcing their way over the mountains.
AUX, the Indian mail carrier who
brought this report, said that the van
guard of the terror stricken army was
following less than a week behind
him. He declared that fully 25 per
cent OF the stampeding army would
never live to reach civilization. The
river steamers Bella and Weare, 1t
now appears, did not land more than
100 tons of provisions on their arrival
in Dawson in the early part OF Octo-
Der, owing to their having been held
up at Circle City.
Men from Dyea headed by George
+. Ulmer, propose TO go to the relief
of Dawson. They will make the
United States government an offer to
deliver $4,000 pounds of provisions
within fifty days after the time of
starting for Dawson for $4,000. They
already have 5000 pounds of provis-
ions cached at Lake Bennett, which
they will take in over the Chilkoot
pass this winter Ulmer will go south
by the next steamer to lay his propo-
sition before the secretary of war by
wire.

CONGRESS EXPECTED TO
DEAL DRASTICALLY.
HAS LOST ALL PATIENCE
A Bill Being Prepared to Cover All
Matters Worked Upon by the Dawes
COMMUNICATIVE End OF tho
Five Nations VIII BE the
Result--Wnl No More
Delay With Poor Lo.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. The indica-
lions are that this Congress will pass
general bill for the entire rehabili-
tation of the Indian territory. The
measure as now planned, will embrace
everything sought to be accomplished
in the past by the Dawes Indian COM
mission, which is still negotiating with
the five civilized tribes, but which
will be here this week to report the
discouraging existing conditions
The bill will cover all the questions
of citizenship, allotments OF lands,
disposition of townsites, mineral lands,
full jurisdiction of the United States
courts over the present reservations
and other matters bearing on the ex-
tinguishment of tribal organization.
The first steps in the matter have
been taken by the Indian committees
of both the Senate and House. 1t is
understood that in few days there
will be joint session of the subcom-
mittees, at which all these matters
will be gone over and significant steps
taken in the way of settling the prob
lens by congressional enactment In
view of the large amount of work nee
essary to be done, however, it is not
probable any bill can be passed till
we'll toward the end of the session.

FOREIGN MISSIONS.
EIghty-seVenth Annual Report of the
roDo.o1nttonoI Roard MAZDA Pu,iic


Congregational hoard Made Public.
BosToN, Dec. IA. The American
bourd of foreign missions (Congrega-
tionaD made public to-day its eighty
seventh annual report The receipts
in part were: From the New England
states, 1886, 1874 19; from New York,
S54, O9G.O3; Pennsylvania, So, %;
Del aware, $40: Virginia, $50 95; Dis
trict of Columbia, SO, 1885; North

Illinois; SIS, SIS A.; Kansas, s2,l9A64;
Nebraska, 50, 5sO.3l; Oklahoma, SIS, 80.
The total recipes from all sources
we're S649, 7SLO6.
The report deals at length with
Turkish massacres and says that,
while many Christians were killed or
fed, yet there have been many con-
versions since then The famine in
India is reviewed at length. Of the
work in Japan, it says: 1.-THE prob
lens which face the missionaries in
Japan to-day are entirely different
from those of twenty-five years ago
The educated Japanese are carefully
studying the social and religious ques-
tions in which the scholars from the
West are interested, and always the
beginnings of enlightenment are sub
jects of doubt and questioning.
"In SPAIN" the report says, "the
fact that the missionaries are citizens
of country against which there is
such strong feeling growing out of the
Cuban question does not seem to be
charged against them by the most of
those with whom they come into daily
contact and relations. That which
perhaps more than any other one
thing among the visible influences
that prevail in the community has
served as an obstacle to the spread of
the Gospel in Spain has been the we'll
known and powerful ultra montana
sympathies of the queen regent. This
influence predominates entirely in the
court and from there reaches the most
distant villages and gives courage and
strength to the reactionary element
throug hout the land.

LAST SERVICES.
Mother Mckinley VIII BE Buried From
Her Old Church.

Her Old Church.
CANTON, Ohio, Dec. 14.-The funeral
of Mrs. Nancy Allison Mckinley,
mother of the President, who died
quietly early yesterday morning, will
be held in the First Methodist Episco-
pal church at o'clock tomorrow af-
ternoon, and interment will follow in
West Lawn cemetery. In the even
ing President Mckinley and wife and
officials from Washington who will
attend the funeral will leave for the
capital.
1t was at first thought by the fam
lily that the services should be of a
more private nature, held at the old
homestead. 1t was learned, however,
through the pastor OF Mrs. McKinley's
church and members of the congrega-
ton, as well as from other friends,
that the number of friends who de-
sired to pay their last tribute of re-
spect to the beloved woman by attend
ing the obsequies, could not be accom-
modated with such arrangements,
and church services were decided
upon The services will be short and
simple, consisting of words of COM
fort and eulogy by the officiating
Clergyman, and the singing of favorite
hymns by the choir.
Pallbearers have been selected from
among the older members of the
church and those who have for years
been close neighbors Of the deceased.
They are: Judge William r. Day,
Hon. William A. Lynch, Former Mayor
r A. Cassidy, l. L. Miller, w. W.
Clark, Judge 7. J. McCarty, David
collars and Former Mayor John f.

Missouri University Offers Two Short
Practical Courses without Tuition
COLUMBIA, Mo-, Dec. 14.--Practieally
all of the pressing work of the farm
will be finished by the Christmas hol-
idays and spring work does not begin
until the latter part of March. This
interim during January and February
and March is often spent by the
young men of the farm in COM
parative idleness, The Missouri
state university has provided for
two practical courses, one for
the stockman, dairyman and general
farmer, the other for the market gar
dener, orchardist and nurseryman,
tuition free, to enable young men and
young women of the farms to utilize
this leisure time to the best possible
advantage. Those courses are open
TO all without entrance examination.
This is an opportunity the young man
who is farming or expects to farm can
not afford to miss Write to the uni
versity for an illustrated pamphlet
describing the courses. The entire
expenses, including railroad fare. will
not exceed $50 for the average
student.

Fort SCOTT, Kan, Dec. IA. Not
drop Of water has been served to the
consumers of this place since Mayor
Hesser took charge of the water
works Saturday evening, employees of
the water company refusing to work
for the city and no engineer being
found to operate the pumps
The city authorities accuse the COM
pany's engineer of having spiked"
the pumps, while the superintendent
of the works has warned the city that
the safety of the pumping station is in
danger because of the iucompetency
of the men who are attempting to run
it.
There is now an abundant supply Of
water in the river as the result of q
good rain and snow, but the hotels,
factories, and consumers generally are
compelled to obtain it from private
sources, which are insufficient to sup
ply the needs The mayor telegraphed
to Kansas City to-day for an expert to
operate the pumps

Entire Wedding Party Is Publicly EK-
communicated.
ST. Joseph, Mo-, Dec. 14.-Religious
circles in this city were very much
stirred up Sunday by the public ex-
communication Of Mrs Charles Miller,
formerly Miss Katherine Moriarity,
her mother and all relatives and Cath
olics who participated in her marriage
ceremonies and the reception which
followed, because tho young woman
was married by Protestant minister.
The letter of decentralization from
the Rt. Rev. Bishop Burke, and ad-
dressed to Rev. Father Newman, pas
tor of the Cathedral congregation, was
read at all the services of the Cnthe-
dral
In his letter of excommunication
Bishop Burke spoke of the unusual
publicity that had been given to the
affair, and for that reason placed, not
only Mrs. Miller, but her relatives and
all Catholics who participated in her
marriage ceremonies, under the ban
of the church. This is said to be the
first public communication in the
history of the Catholic church in this
city.

Cookers Scheme to supersOdo sheehan
with EIan to Oppose HILL
LAKEWOOD, N. j., Dee a. = James
B. Eustis, formerly ambassador to
France, was here yesterday to discuss
the proposed reorganization Of Tam
many with Croker and Van Wyck.
Croker suggested that Mr.. Eustis be
made chairman of the general com
mittee and this was practically de-
dided upon
Mr.. Eustis will vote at the Tammany
primaries December 80, to matriculate
for the craftsmanship. The idea is to
pit HIM against ex-senator Hill in the
state convention next fall as the rep
resentative of Senator Murphy and
Grea ter New Yorll's Democracy. 1t
is predicted that Mr.. Eustis will also
land the corporation counselship, one
of Mayor Van Wyck's places that pays
S9O,O annually.
OF course Sheehan will try ut the
primaries to hold his place, but
flushed with the Van Wyck victory
Croker is likely to be supreme.

Chicago Police Investigating tho Vic"
lent Death of n Leading Italian.
CHICAGO, Dec. lL-When the body
of Charles Paladini, one of the oldest
and most highly respected Italians of
Chicago, arrived here yesterday from
Bear, Ala, where he had gone last
month with $50 of his fellow country
men, for whom he had secured posi-
tions as section hands on a new rail-
road, evidence of death by violence
was found by the undertaken and the
coroner was called in.
On the cover of the outer box, direct.
ly below the shipping directions, was
tackled a card which read as follows:
This is to certify that c. Paladini
died December from inflammation of
the bowels" This was signed "Dr. J,
L. Hures, NJ. d., Bear, Ala" and un-
derneath was the inscription, Not
contagious" This inscription was
written partly in ink and partly in
pencil. The writing was poor and
both red and black ink had been used.
Miss Canalle Angeloni, to whom it
was said Paladini was engaged to be
married, told the undertaken that
Paladini wrote to her November q,
saying that he was enjoying the best
of health and that his trip was prov
ing a success financially. The police
officials are of the opinion that muir
der has been committed and the au-
thorities at Bear, Ala, were commun-
icated with in an effort to learn more
about the case.

CAN'T IL JUSICE.

Mrs. Arlington is not at all pleased
with the legislature. She would be a
novelty if she Were. She asked that a
committee be appointed to look into
the court methods employed to keep
her out of her property early in the
session. The Judiciary Committee re,
ported the bill ~favorably and it passed
the Senate. Senator 8mathers and
others aided in getting it through. But
the bill has had many ups and downs
in the House, finally going to the table.
Then Mrs. Arlington asked for the use
of the House n hour one evening last
week to state her case. Permission was
granted, but Mr.. Lusk and others
''cussed" about it and the motion wa
reconsidered. Mrs. Arlington deserves
consideration, but not having apocket-
full of money she will fare like every
body.else who can't buy the support of
certain members-get nothing. She
says she is going to start her paper,
the Criminal Docket" again.
