The description, which tailed with
that of the missing man, met the eye
of the wife, who went to Chicago, ar
irving there September 8, to find that
the body had been buried in the pot
tiers field.
The body was located, disinterred,
and it was found that while decompO-
sition rendered the features unrecOg-
nizable, the size of the body and the
general appearance of the hair, beard
and moustache resembled that of the
missing man. AS a last test, the wife
said that her husband was a soldier Of
the late war, bore upon one shoulder a
long, deep scar from a wound received
in service. The clothing was removed,
and there upon the shoulder was a scar
of the kind stated.
Owing to the conditions of the re-
mains it was impossible to remove
them and they returned in the
potters field, while the wife returned
sorrowing TO her home here. Now her
grief is turned to rejoicing for her hus-
band mourned as dead, returned home
last night alive and we'll. He offers no
explanation of his mysterious absence
and silence beyond the statement that
he has been in Montana working at
bridge building.

wEYLER WILL STICK.
The Spanish Conservatives as Mad as
Hornets.

The Spanish Conservatives as Mad as
Hornets.
New York, Oct S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says:
Gen. Weyler will fight tooth and nail
against being removed from Cuba. He
is trying to terrorize the Liberal ad-
ministration into retaining him in
command in Cuba until next June, and
if recalled now he will utilize his in
fiuence over the army to create dis
turbances in the peninsula or sell him
self to the Carlists.
Now that the late Conservative ad-
ministration is no more than a shat
tered remnant, the organs of the Con-
sentative press are nothing backward
in vituperating one another and the
defunct ministry is so malignant a
tone as to clearly betray that there was
no intention whatever of surrendering
the reins of government, had the
queen regent herself not deliberately
induced and insisted on the crisis.
In consequence of this, the fallen
magnates of that party which has been
one of continuous brawl and national
scandal for so many weary months,
are so bitterly assailing the columns
of their own newspapers that their
tempers are said to have suffered in
the inglorious melee, and more times
than one has stepped from public life
and even from Madrid with scowls up
on his brow and anathemas upon his
lips which has caused no little merri-
ment to the unconcerned onlookers.
The Conservative newspaper Ell Ma
cionale has made a dead set against
Gen. Azcarraga, attacking him more
fiercely than ever and Senior Romero
Robledo, the notorious antagonist of
Cuban reform 1.-The man who has lost
us Cuba" as he is now branded in
Spain, in wrath at similar TRADES
against himself, has stopped his ear
and fled southwark to his native An
tieura, where the authorities turned
out on the station platform to receive
him and where the adulation of the viii
layers will doubtless compensate him
for the harshness and sneers and ridi-
Guile of the capital.

ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION 5 DAYS

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. S.-Sustaining
life for five days by artificial respira-
ton with a prospect of ultimately saw
ing the life of the patient, is what has
been done in the city hospital. Last
week a domestic named Anderson was
brought to the city hospital in a serious
condition, and City Physician Ancker
was called, when she appeared to be
dying. Assisted by an attendant he
produced artificial respiration in work
ing the arms, and this has been kept
up steadily since, as it had the effect
of keeping the girl alive. Today DR..
Ancker stated that there seemed to be
q chance for her recovery. The disease
is said to be laundrins paralysis, very
rare disease, due to poison generated in
the blood.

CHAIRMAN JONES REFUSES TO
NIX IN THE GREATER NEW
YORK FIGHT.
The Majority Of The National Com
mittee Side With George The
Controversy Will Not Serious
ly effect The MayOrality
Contest.


New York, Oct ga dispatch to
the Herald from Washington, says:
James X. Jones, chairman of the
Democratic National committee, says
he will take no part in the municipal
contest in Greater New York,
Senator Jones disclalms any respon-
sibility for the action of Secretary
Walsh in endorsing the candidacy of
Henry George, melery remarking, that
as an individual, Walsh had a perfect
right to take whatever action he con-
sidered proper.
When asked as to what course he
would pursue regarding the situation
in New York, Senator Jones said:
L do not think it within my duty
to assume any authority in this matter
for the national committee. AS the
matter stands at present
do not propose to be drawn into it,
for have no authority to speak for the
committee, and it would be impossible
to act as an individual and diverse my
own personality from my position as
chairman.
There is no occasion for me to en-
dorse or disapprove the nomination of
either Judge Van Wyck or Henry
George"
In regard to the letter said to have
been written by Senator Jones to
Senator Murphy in which he is report
ed as advising against reaffirmation
of the Chicago platform, by the New
York state convention, the chairman
said the communication sounded very
much like what either he had writ
ten or said to someone in New York,
but he said that if it was written it
was not his intention of having it used
as it was used in the New York meet
ing.
Chairman Jones said he took the
general ground that "the Chicago plat
form was binding upon every Demo-
crat" and that nothing any state or
municipal convention might do could
add to take away from that PLATFORM
it could neither be strengthened nor
weakened.
Il believe" said the senator, "as
firmly in bimetallism and the Chicago
was adopted and the battle of
1900 is to be fought on the same lines"
OF the twenty Democratic national
committeeman who have expressed
themselves on the New York munich
pal campaign, thirteen hold that Henry
George is the regular" Democratic
candidate for mayor and seven favor
Tammany. Thomas Marcum, of In
dian Territory, telegraphs to the Jour
nal and Advertiser:
The Henry George municipality
force should be supported by the ma
tional Democrats"
Alexander Troup, of Colorado, says:
There can be but one answer to your
query-Henry George is on the Chica-
go platform. Alleged Democratic or
CARNATIONS who ignore the national
platform are unworthy of confidence"

The Turner's Started In Well. But
Soon Fell By Tie WaySide And
The Casinos Held The Lead

Another cherished hope was crush
ed on the Casino bowling alley last
night in double defeat for the Turn
ers.
1t was not to be expected that the
Turner's would take two on the Cas-
mos home alley, but in order to make
the race interesting it was hoped that
Captain Dukes men would break even
with the leaders.
This gives the Alamos a better lead
for third place, and brings the Turner's
and Athletics in closer touch.
The Turner'S opened both games last
night with a fair lead over their OPP
ponents. In neither game, however, did
they maintain the lead after the first
inning. The Casinos improved while
the Turner's did not bowl bad their work
was not of the kind to win.
There was good individual work on
both sides.
large attendance saw the games
and enjoyed them until the last pin
was down.

KLONDIKERs HELD UP.
Probable Death of The Promoters of
The Fiasco.


Seattle, Wash, Oct S.-A Post-In-
telligencer special from Port Townsend
say that passengers who returned on
the schooner Sailor Boy from st. Mich
aels report that Mayor Wood, of Seat
tie, manager of the Humboldt expedi-
ton, and d. X. Howard, who had
charge of the Eliza Anderson party,
are practically prisoners in the hands
of their irate passengers. Only the
presence of the United States troops
under Lieut.. Col. Randall are expected
to avert serious trouble.
The feeling against both Wood and
Howard is said to be bitter in the ex-
IRENE, and the miners have appointed
committees to guard both to see that
they do not get out of their reach.
Thomas H. Clark, of Seattle, who was
one of the passengers on the Sailor
Boy said:
There is no chance for the Wood
party to get any considerable distance
up the river, although they had every
thing ready to make the start Septem-
Der 18th. the day we left. The men are
disheartened. 1 would not be surprised
to hear of the death of d. K. Howard
at the hands of the miners. The feel
ing against them is growing more Bit
ter every day. The passengers of the
Eliza Anderson paid their fare and
freight to Dawson, but the Anderson
was abandoned at Dutch harbor and
the passengers were landed at st. Mich
aels by the schooner Baranoff, with no
prospects of getting further this win
ter. Then Howard announced that the
expedition was a failure and that he
would not feed them until they reach
ed Dawson, as his contract promises.
His declaration caused great disatis-
faction and he will be fortunate if he
gets out of there alive"
