GEORGE M. PULLMAN DEAD.
The Palace-Car Magnate Expires OF
Heart Disease at Chicago.


Chicago, Oct. 21.-George M. Pull
man, the palace-car magnate, died at
his residence, Eighteenth street and
Prairie avenue, this city, at O'Clock
this morning. Mr.. Pullman, who was
in his Seth year, had not been enjoying
his usual good health during the sum-
mer The extreme heat of last week
greatly aggravated his disease, known
to medical science as angina pectoris,
but no serious trouble was anticipated.
Mr.. Pullamn was at his Office in the
Pullman building yesterday. and dined
with his friends at his club. Later in
the evening he remarked having slight
pain in the back. He retired at his
usual early hour.
At o'clock this morning his house
hold was awakened by disturban ce in
Mr.. Pullman's chamber, and, upon en-
tering, found him standing in the cor
ner of the room, dazed and apparently
suffering excruciating pains in the re-
gion of the heart.
Rev. II. M. Eaton, who was visiting
Mr.. Pullman, called DR.. Frank Bill
ings, the family physician. Restora-
tives were applied, but to no purpose,
and at 5 o'clock the millionaire passed
away without speaking, and with
scarcely struggle.

WILL MAINTAIN ORDER
Part of Alaska to Be Placed
Under Military Rule.
THE ADMINISTRATION so ORDERS
st. Mfchaels Included in the Reserva.
tiOn-Civil Authorities Unable
to Enforce the Laws.

Chicago, Oct ga special from
Washington says: President Mckinley
will issue an order placing a large dis
trict in Alaska, of which st. Michaels
will be the center. under the control of
the military arm of the government.
By this action the authorities be-
lieve that the lawlessness feared as a
result of the rush of gold-seekers to the
great Northwest territory will be sup
pressed. The proposed military dis
trict will be about 100 miles square.
The determination to issue the order
was arrived at, it is said, at a cabinet
meeting. While no official reports of
anything but peaceful condition have
reached the department, private COM
munications from responsible parties
have convinced the authorities that
something more was necessary than
civilian rule. The authorities say that
cffenses committed within the bounda-
ries of the district, to be described by
the president in his order, will subject
those responsible to the military, and
prosecution by the civilian authorities
before whom they will be brought.
The department. is making an exam
nation of the geographical conditions
If the country in the vicinity of the
mouth of the Yukon, to obtain data
hat will enable it to prescribe exactly
The boundaries of the proposed new
reservation. 1t is also desirable to
limit the reservation to the smallest
dimensions that will take in st.
Michaels as center, and yet include
the estuary of the Yukon, where the
lawless element might gather if ex-
Guided from the town itself.
There will be little excuse for the
commission of lawless acts based on
starvation within the limits of the new
reservation, for Secretary Alger has
authorized the officer in command of
the troops at St. Michaels not only to
feed miners who may be in actual need,
but to ship them out of the country it
they are unable to pay their own way.
The war department also proposes
to establish an army post on the Yukon
river, but this will not be done before
next spring.

Terrible Effects of an Explosion I'm q
Youngsters Clothes.
Springfield, Mo-. Oct. 21.-Raymond,
the 12-year-old son of A, D. Allen,
stenographer in the circuit court, went
to school this morning, carrying por-
ton of stick of dynamite. The ex-
plosive, which the boy had found in
stone quarry, was in his pocket with
knife, top, marbles and quantity of
other things common to boys pockets
In getting into his seat. the boy banged
his dangerous collection of old junk
against the desk, causing an explosion
which will probably cost him his life,
and which was heard for several blocks.
The child's right hand was blown off
and in his right groin terrible wound
was inflicted, from which the surgeons
say he cannot recover. The teacher,
Miss Mack, was close by, and had her
dress torn into shreds, but she was not
hurt. The explosion caused panic
among the other children, and several

Governments Loss May Reach Into the
Thousands.
Washington, Oct. 22.-Silver dollars
are missing from the treasury which
may number thousands. Treasurer
Roberts has employed experts to count
piece by piece the 500, 000,0O which
ought to be in the vaults.
Recently the coin was counted by the
weighing process. but Roberts will not
give a receipt to his predecessor. Nor
gan, until he knows the full extent OF
the robbery, which he suspects has been
carried on for some time.
During this count trusted employe
was caught opening bags which contain
81. 600 in silver, taking out as many as
he wished and making up the weight OF
the extracted silver with lead. At the
conclusion of the count all OF the bags
showed the required weight.
Upon the treasurer's suggestion some
of the bags were opened, and SO much
lead was discovered that a consultation
was held and it was decided to employ
q force of so clerks to go over the
counting in detail. This task will con-
sumo six months and will cost the gov
ernment 425. 900.

LOSS OF THE TRITON
At Least $50 Persons Perished
in the Disaster.
ONLY FORTY-SIx WERE SAVED
Stories Told by the Survivors-The Cap
tain Committed Suicide as the
Ship Went Down.

Havana Oct. 19.-The gunboat Maria
Christina, which left this port yester-
day for the scene of the wreck of the
Triton, bound from Havana to Bahia
Honda, Pinar del Rio, which sank yes
terday between Dominica and Mariel,
has returned, accompanied by the tug
boat Surf, which went with her. The
two vessels arrived here this evening,
the gunboat having on board 10 and the
tugbOat % members of the lost ships
company, of whom 13 are civilians and
the rest soldiers. The whereabouts of
the rest of the company is unknown.
The Triton struck during heavy rain.
Her cargo shifted and Is minutes later
she sank in 1870 fathoms of water.
A scene of terrible confusion and
panic ensued as soon as the passengers
realized the meaning of the crash. In
a wild struggle they rushed for the
boats. The first boat that was lowered
capsized Immediately and all its occu-
pants were drowned in the whirling
waters. The next was struck by an
enormous wave and turned over, drown
ing 20. The frail craft righted again,
and eight who had been thrown out re-
gained it. Some were good swimmers
and kept themselves afoat for hours.
Others foated about for hours on
planks.
Four soldiers on planks, whom the
strong current carried east of Havana
opposite Moro castle, were saved this
morning by a pilot boat. They de-
clared that last evening there were
many others near them on planks, but
when the morning came they disap-
peared and probably became food for
sharks.
Those who were rescued tell heart
rending stories of the scenes during the
terrible quarter of an hour before the
Triton sank. An army captain with
his daughter went down locked in last
embrace. A mother with twins 10
months old drifted helplessly away on
the crest of wave. All the other
ladies and children were drowned.
Just as the Triton was sinking, Cap
tain Rickardo, her commander, commit
ted suicide by shooting himself
1t is impossible to give the exact
number of those who were lost, but it
is estimated that they were no fewer
than 100. No passenger list has been
found. The vessel, which carried a
general cargo, was not insured. The AZ

and filled Broadway for the congratu-
latoary speeches to be finished. and the
Cuban heroine to appear On the stand

was the signal for tremendous DEM
onstration by the great crowd which
stretched out for 100 yards before her.
The men yelled and waved their hats;
the women waved their handkerchiefs,
and the band played Cuban battle
song.
With boquet in her right hand and
q pleased but diffident expression on
her face, Miss Cisneros bowed to her
audience, for hers it was, and then
turned to Mr.. Decker, indicating that
she wanted him to understand that
the applause was as much for him as
for her. For some moments the two
stood forth while the cheering con-
tinued. Then Miss Cisneros was led
back to the rear platform, where she
bowed and smiled to the crowd on that
side of the platform. Then she de-
scended the steps to the carriage,
which was driven around the square
and back to Delmonico's.
