ear Pirates.

1t seems odd that mariners any
where along the American coast
should in these days stand in fear of
pirates as in the days of old yet
that is the case and Government pro-
lection has been asked for the next
vessel to come from the Clondyke
rigion.
The steamer Portland, which is
expected to leave st. Michaels about
September 18th. will, it is said, have
on board gold from Alsakan gold
fields valued at $4,000, 600 P. b.
Weare of Chicago, president of the
North American transportation and
trading company, owners of the
Portland, has advised the treasury
department he fears an attempt will
be made by pirates to capture this
cargo, and has asked that the govern
ment detail revenue cutter to con-
voy the Portland out of Behring sen.
This request has been granted
though the officers of the revenue
service do not share the fears enter
tained. The revenue cutter Bear
and possibly one or two others viii
convoy the Portland

BUTLER THE MURDERER.
Some Particulars of the Australians
Trial.

Butler, the Australian murderer,
who created so much interest in San
Francisco has been executed. Steam
ers arriving in San Francisco last
week brought papers giving par
ticulars of his trial.
The trial lasted three days and in
some respects was sensational.
On the last day of the trial Butler
attempted to cut his throat with the
metal tag taken from plug of to-
bacco. The attempt was discovered,
however, before he had done any
serious damage. o. the same day,
while being led into court, Butler be-
came uncomfortable and had fierce
struggle with his guards. He was
finally dragged into the courtroom
and handcuffed and forced to keep
still.
When the prosecution finished its
case Butler was asked if he had any
thing to say. The murderer was in
a state of collapse apparently, anil
the court adjourned until afternoon
to give him time to recover. He then
in low tone made a rambling state
ment that he started for the mines
with Weller at Weller's solicitation.
-On the way Weller acted queerly,
and when he displayed pistol But
Ter thought that Weller was going to
shoot him. Instead, however, We'll
Ter place the pistol to his own head
and when Butler grabbed it in the
endeavors to take it away, the weap-
on was discharged and Weller shot
though the head. Butler said he
had used Weller's papers to enable
him to ship as a sailor, as he had nc
papers of his own.
The case was then given to the
jury, which deliberated for an hour
and twenty minutes before bringing
in verdict of guilty. The judge
then pronounced sentence, and when
he concluded with the words, "Anc
may God have mercy on yonr soul,
Butler quickly retorted, "And ma.
he have mercy on yours, too.

RAILROAD WRECK NEAR
RENO.
Worst In The History Of The Road.

Worst In The History Of The Road.
One of the worst wrecks in the his
tory OF the Central Pacific road oc-
Cured at 9:4S last Wednesday morn
ing on what is known as the twenty
five mile hill, about six miles west
of Reno. The engine was overturn-
ed and thrown on one side of the
track, and the tender on the other,
and the road Uttered with the debris
of baggage, express and mail cars,
reduced to kindling wood. There
were no fatalities except that of
Indians, who were riding on the
blind baggage to the number of
fifteen. Six of them were killed and
nearly all the balance more or less
injured.
Fireman Rollins was thrown from
the engine on his head and sustain
ed considerable injury, but pro-
nouneed to be not in serious con-
dition by the doctors.
Engineer Irwin was also thrown
from his engine, unhurt, except a
slight sprain of his back.
The train was double e-header and
the first engine went over all right.
This engine went on to Verdi and
from there dispatch was sent to
Reno and Wadsworth for doctors
and wrecking car. An engine and
fat car, went out from Reno to the
scene of the wreck in a very few
minutes with doctors, and section
men, and a wreeking car from
Wadsworth was on hand about II
O'Clock.
The mail clerks, George w. O.
'Brien and S. A. Ross, escaped with
a few cuts about the head and a few
bruises about the body.
Wells-Fargo's messenger j. j..
Burke, was badly shaken up and
bruised.
The wreck was caused by some
thing wrong with the track, pro-
badly a spreading of the rails, and
was the most complete on record OF
the road as far as the destruction OF
the rolling stock is concerned, but
fortunately not in the loss of life.
The mail and express cars were
turned bottom side up, the day coacE
and one sleeper were thrown a
right angles to the track, the dining
car and two Pullman coaches were
badly wrecked. Only two cars re
NAMED on the track. The wailint
of the Indians, who had their dea'
and wounded under the willow
J near the track, was most heartrend
t ing They were on their way t
; Sacramento to pick hops.

No more steamers will go to the
Clondyke country until next June.
This is because it is unsafe to go
later in the season than this. Not
withstanding this well advertised
fact the mad rush for the new Ell
dorado continues and as many as can
will make the trip overland. The
craze has spread to every quarter OF
the country, and the number to es-
say the journey can only be estimat-
ed, but it will be very large. The
next stage of the drama will doubt
less be stories of privation, suffering
and death, worse perhaps in degree
than the experiences incident to
other gold excitements in the north
ern country, pilgrims to which we
still have in our midst.

silver has reached the lowest
noint yet. Its supporters begin to
Lose heart. The effect of the recent
.,.,p was felt in Mexico and the re-
,orts from there state that exchange
advanced to 122 aaa 125 per cent
,,-emuim. Bankers belive there will
i, better price for silver soon, but
there is growing sentiment that
silver will have to wait some months
before circumstances shape them
selves so as to materially aid it..
Some people hold the theory that
the bankers in Europe are hammer
ing down silver in order to show the
United States bimetallic commission
ers that LsfoS2 is a swering the
Dingley tariff law.
Importers will be compelled to
bring in goods with the greatest
caution for the time ,as they dare not
risk ordering largely with prospects
that exchange may grow even worse
against them. 1t is generally be-
lieyed that the exchange will grow
worse for few days. A leading
banker says that Mexico will simply
adjust itself to the lowest price for
silver and manufacture everything
nossible at home. She will stick to
the silver basis, awaiting the pro b.
able reaction in the future. Mexico
has discovered that she can live very
well within herself as to the prime
necessities. She will dispense with
foreign luxuries and be economical.
Other silver-using countries will be
driven to adopt the same course.
Japan is finding that she cannot
hold her gold and her new gold
standard will be nothing but bril-
liant theory.

1t has been a matter of comment
for years that the more inaccessible
region is the more improbable are
the stories of it's mining wealth and
also that the reports come generally
at season when the section cannot
be reached. The reports are continu-
ed, the excitement increases and
with the first opening, transporta-
ton companies proceed to reap har-
vests. A dozen such cases in the
past can be called to mind by any
old timer.

The rush to the Clondyke contin-
ues. Over 1900 persons gathered
at the wharves in San Francisco
last week to witness the departure
of the last steamer for the north.
1t was loaded to its utmost capacity
with both passengers and freight.

The United States Marshalship
for Utah has been secured by Glen
Miller, the rustling real estate man
of Salt Lake. The Office is not
nearly SO remunerative under state
hood as it was under territorial rule,
yet from the peculiar conditions
existing in that State it can be made
a fine berth. The appointment is
said to give general satisfaction.
