ALASKA ANp ThE YUKON.
From sen 20 sea by Crossing Only
Thirty MiIea, Of Land.

Thirty Miles OF Land.
Alaska is a most difficult country for
travelling, even in the only availabl=
short season Of its arctic summer, there
being no roads; and even Indian trails,
on account of the small number of ma
tives, are very rare, says Outing. The
surface is rough, being traversed by
many ranges of mountains. Even in
the more level portions travel is him
dered in the summer by the wet moss
which grows knee deep, and by the
inEect2pests; in the winter it is made
impossible By the intense cold. In view
of all these difficulties, the peculiar re-
lGtion of the Yukon river to the co;isj
is such that one might fancy nature
had arranged it especially for a high
way through this inaccessible interior,
in partial compensationt to man for the
obstacles she has put in his way
The headquarters of the network OF
streams that ultimately drain tato the
Yukon river fortunately lie within SO
miles of the sea, just on the northern or
Inland side of range of mountains
which runs along the southern coast o.
Alaska. From this point the river flows
north away from the sea, far TOWARD!
the Arctic ocean; then, suddenly
changing it's mind, turns west; anG
finally, after traversing the whole wild h
of Alaska, arrives at the Behring sea,
its entire course being considerably
over 1000 miles. For a considerable
distance it is broad and deep stream
so that one may go quite through the
center of Alaska, from sea to sea, by
crossing only 80 miles or SO of land.

IRELAND AS A RESORT.
She II Improving Her Hotel and Rail-
. way Accommodations. ~ :


The question is continually asked:
WHY'S Ireland, with its exquisite seen
cry and almost unrivaled beauty, neg
lected by the peripatelic Saxon? There
are, or have been, Invariably two meth
DDS of solving the problem, says the ST.
James Gazette. The Saxon has
shrugged his shoulders and repeated
for the thousandtb time the old forInu-
la about the discomfort and the eX-
cessively high tariff of the Irish hotel.
Or, on the other hand, he may have re-
marked on the dilatoriness of the Irish
railway train.
1t is not for us to deny that, to a
very considerable degree, complaints Of
this character have been more than
justified; but recent and rather ex-
tended experience of both these nee
essary adjuncts to the business of tour
ing has revealed to us the fact that
such grounds of dissatisfaction are be-
ing rapidly and certainly removed. Ire
land has at last awakened to her posi-
bilities as tourist resort which.
whether it be in sea, mountain, lake or
river scenery--rivals If it does not excel
Scotland and Wales. She is accelerat-
ing and improving her railway serv-
ice; she is opening up new andA-fo
the tourist-virgin routes; her hotel
phoprietors are alive to the necessity
for materially changing their methods;
and, given these conditions, there can
be no possible reason in the world why
Ireland should not obtain a fair share
Of the holiday harvest which at pres:
ent is bestowed with bounteous hand
upon the continent.

will commence promptly at o'clock to-
day. This match is under the same con-
ditions as that shot yesterday for the De-
Renne trophy, and will be competed for
by the same teams. 1t is very probable
that better scores will be made. The cav
airy team will do its best to even up with
the battalion team for yesterdays defeat
and the regimental team will endeavor to
improve upon the showing made by it
yesterday
The Savannah companies were excluded
by their own request from the class A
shooting. but will shoot tomorrow in the
class 3 contest, which is open to teams
OF hve men from any volunteer company,
men who have participated in contests at
sea Glrt, Creedmoor and Walnut Hill be-
ing debarred. All the Savannah compan-
les, with the exception of the Chatham
Artillery and possibly one other will enter
teams in this contest. In addition the
teams from the Governors Horse Guards
the Waycross Rifles and the Albany
Guards will take part in the match.
Capt. j. c. Postell of the First Cavalry
and Private c. S. Richmond of the Guards
began shooting yesterday in the Avondale
match. Lieut.. f. G.. Wilson of the Guards
began shooting in the all-comers match
Additional entries are expected to-day.
Col George S. Obear state inspector of
rifle practice, who is acting as range keep
err takes great interest in the work of
the men. He was assisted yesterday by
Capt w. w. Williamson of Company a
OF the Guards, Capt. J. F. Brooks of the

he went out in search for her and met
her there. The wound in her head was
evidently inflicted with a Ratchet or some
similar instrument and it Is probably
the same Ratchet with which the woman
struck Wayne in the head the night be-
fore.
The Wintrim women. who lived in the
same house with the Waynes. said that
Wayne came 20 the house
between IL and y O'Clock Sat
urday night and going TO his room strip
ped all the clothing off the bed and carried
it off. She concluded that he and his
wife had split up and that he was moving
ms things. He also pulled the
mattress OFF the bed and carried it into the
yard, as If he intended taking that also,
but did not take it.
Wayne's suspicious actions after the
disappearance of his wife complete the
evidence against him. The detectives be-
lieye. however. that they will have other
witnesses, who will testify to other cir
cumstances. and thus complete the chain
of evidence
Wayne is an ordinary looking young ne
gro, evidently possessing no great amount
Of intelligence. A very peculiar circum-
stance in conn ectiOn with the finding of
the body was the finding of a large quar-
ter of beef in the canal near the body
and which had evidently been there two
or three days. Whether the beef was
q
afraid to be caught with it, or whether
1t spoiled on the hands of some rascally
butcher. who threw it in the canal to
get rid of 1t, or whether, as
has been supposed, IL was thrown
there by Wayne, in order
to furnish an explanation of whatever
foul smell might arise from the water are
questions which cannot be answered at
present. If either of the first two suppo-
sitions are true, then its being found near
the body was only a coincidence. If the
last supposition be correct then it would
show that Wayne had worked out his
plan of the murder in detail and with more
Intelligence than he has been given
credit for heretofore. The detectives will
try to ascertain where the beef came from
and whether il was bought or stolen.
Had the murderer exercised a little more
care in weighing the body, 1t might have
remained at the bottom of the canal for
months and even years. The water at that
point is five or six feet deep at low tide
which is amply sufficient for such pur-
pose.
Coroner Goette held an inquest at the
morgue in Laurel Grove, where the body
was taken. The jury returned a verdict
charging Wayne with the woman's MUIR
der, and he was committed to Jail.
