Mr.. L. r. Stockweil. supported by the
Bacon stock company commenced the
second weeks engagement at the Third
avenue theater last night. I'm MarSton's
farce comedy "Humhug." a piece familiar
TO Seattle theater-g0ers. having been pro-
duced here by Roland Reed. with whom
the character or Jack Luster was closely
identified half dozen years ago ard later
by company under the management Of
John F. Cordray. at the time the theater
al Third avenue and Madison street was
under his direction. IL is an uproarious
piece Of construction and the capable
people in whose hands the characters were
placed last night made tho most Of the
opportunities offered by the complex stu
atoms. The principal interest in a rather
consistent pot hangs on the deceit prac-
ticed by Luster. whose real name is Bartz.
and a widow whom he marries. Mrs. Ar
minda Bertram Ponsby. in the representa-
tons as to distinguished family eonnec-
tons. The eventual complications caused
by the appearance on the scene of real
relatives and tte Strengthening out of the
tangle into which the participants 10 the
deceit find the mseives furnishes the ma
teriai for a succession of ludicrous sitUa-
tons. Mr.. Stockwel as Jack Luster was
ably backed up in his efforts by Mr.. Frank
Bacon. as Jacob Bastzs Miss Dalglish. as
the widow and Mr.. Scott as the real Jack
son Luster.
Manager Russell has augmented his or
cheStra by the addition of a second violin
lst and drums.

The Alaska Mining Record celebrated

try. II is printed on book paper and hand

Alaska
juneau is unique In many respects. Its
Inhabitants, having no power TO form a
municipal corporation. have voluntarily
combined 10 do work OF public utility So
well have they done this that the city
has planked streets with board side
walks. hook and ladder fire company
and two hose companies. an electric light

phone system with fifty subscribers ex-

public halls and two theaters.
The following extract gives the output
OF gold during the past year:
The output OF the mines OF Alaska Is
difficult OF estimation. The vastness of
the mining territory, the extremely mi
gratory characteristic of it's population
and the entire absence Of reports and
statistics from a great part OF the smaller
camps render II a very difficult matter
to arrive al a statement approximating
correctness except by careful study and
watchful attention to every detail. The
following estimate is the result OF just
such work and is believed to be as near

SPANISH GRANTS
Will Protect the Rights of Indians at

DENVER. Col. Oct. 5.-A special to
the Republican from Santa Fe, N. NJ
says: In the United States court of
private land claims today the Salvador
Gonzales grant claim, presented by the
Louis Gold estate for 10000 acres, lying
just northeast of Santa Fe, was cut
down to 200 acres and confirmed.
In the matter of the Fernandez de Taos
grant, petitoned for by the citizens Of
Taos, the court by Justice Sluss, an
nounced that a majority had been and
were convinced of the validity of such
community or town grant under the
Spanish and Mexican laws to the fui,
extent of the boundaries claimed and
that the opinion of the court was III
preparation and would be handed down
setting forth their views and conclu-
sions in favor of the confirmation Of
this sort of title, but the recent holding
of the United States supreme court in
the San Miguel del Bado case rendered
them powerless to confirm the present
grant for anything more than the lands
actually allotted. The case will be taken
to the supreme court of the United 4
States and a strong effort made to have
the Taos grant holdings corrected.

COMES TO TRIAL ACCUSED OF

Showing the Rottenness of Af-

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5-Tf.a TAX
the case against o. NJ Welburn, the
deposed collector of internal revenue of
this district, commenced today before
Judge j. j. de Haven and jury in the
United States district court After the
opering statement by Assistant United
States Attorney Schlesinger and the in
PRODUCTION of certain records, E. C. Akin.
clerk in the office of collector, was called
and testified that he only received $25
per month for his services, from Chief
Deputy Loupe, for several months prior
to the arrival of Special Agent THRASH
err, and that he was not aware that he
was supposed to receive more nor that
check was drawn ir his favor every
month. He had never authorized any
one to sign any of these salary checks
and never received his full salary until
recently.
The sensational feature of the trial
was the testimony of William H. Dill
lard, colored messenger for ex-Collector
Welburn, who still retains his position
urIder Collector Lynch. He sWore. that
he hao forged the name of Clerk Aiken
to salary checks and vouchers for sew
eral months at the request of the ex-
collector, and that it was his habit to
sign Welburns name during the alb
sence of the collector. He declared that
he had become such an expert with the
pen that he could not tell his imitat tioE
of Welburn's signature from one that
was genuine. He also testified that af-
ter he had confessed his wrongful acts
on the preliminary examina ton. Of Wei
burn, his salary had been advanced from
$500 to $1,000 year. At first billiard sale
that Chief Deputy Loupe was present
when Welburn first told him to write
Aiken's name, but later in. his testimony,
he declared he was uncertain on this

FROM THE NORTH
Vessels Arrive From the Salmon
Packing Country

PORTLAND. Or, Oct. 5-The United
States revenue cutter Perry. CAPTAIN
NJ. L. Phillips, arrived this morning from
Dutch Harbor, via Sitka Three of the
Perrys sailors deserted at Dutch Har.
Dor, taking all the ships victuals and
stealing boat, they struck out for the
gold fields of the Yukon. They have not
yet been found.
The Perry spoke the English cutter
Pheasant, Captain Garforth, and was
told that the schooner Bryant. which
had broken from her tug, the Holyoke.
during storm, had put back safely to
Dutch Harbor.
The report that the Portland will not
be able to coal at Dutch harbor is I'M
founded.
The steam schooner Aleut, of San
Francisco, arrived at Port Townsend to-
night from Kodiak, Alaska, where she
has been tending the A,ietiak cannery
during the fishing season. From word
brought down by the Aleut it is eviden..
tf1at the information given to the officers
OF the revenue cutter Perry by the. cap
tain OF the English cutter Pheasant to
the effect that the schooner Bryant was
safe at Kodiak was mistake. The Aleut
left Kodiak Sept 5, two Gays after the
Bryant was reported there and up to the
time of her leaving the Bryant had not
arrived, nor had she been. reported. Cap
tain Rasmussen gives it as his opirion
that the Bryant is yet all right.
The Aleut reports light salmon catch
in the north this season. The Aletiak
canrery has put up about $4,000 cases
this year. as against 10000 last year.

A Marine Collision

ASTORIA, Or, Oct. 5.-This afternoon
the masters of the ship Peru and the
schooner Orion, which came into collision
off the mouth of the river last night,
filed with the United States, authorities
their official statements of the accident
Captain Cannon of the Orion, which was
sunk by the ship Peru, says that he saw
the Peru but he kept on his course, as he
considered he had the right of way. Cap
tain Ohlin of the Peru in his statement
says: The Orion was on the starboard
tack when the vessels were approaching
close to one another. Both the tug mas
ter and the pilot endeavored to avoid
the collision by endeavoring to put the
Peru's head toward a point astern of the
Orion. Notwithstanding he could see
every effort was being made by both the
tug and the ship to fall off before the
wind, he held his course without any
effort to avoid the disaster"

Spoke Last Night on the Hearts Reg.
ulator-Conscience

Last evening at the opening OF the
Yom Kippur service Rabbi NJ G. Solo
mon preached in the B'nai Birth temple
on the Hearts Regulator-Conscienc
The speaker introduced his subject by
referring impressively to the Importance
of the day, which has the magic power
Of welding into one holy community the
remnants of the Jewish people. 1t has
q significance of reverence and awe:
1t Is not a day that recounts a splendid
victory nor noted triumph, but it is
day for the present, for the individual
and for God, and they came tonight to-
throw themselves at his feet and rely OIL
his neverfailing mercy
In order to attain Gods pardon IT IS,
not enough to regret this, nor commit
that, but the heart mus. be cleansed from
sin and made pure. and this can only be
done by prayer, repentance and justice

is very hard to pursue this right path
because the human heart is weak an6
often goes astray. What have we to reg
ulate our conduct to God and our fellow
men?
In illustration of the foregoing thought
the speaker made use of the following
parallels: THE heart, dissatisfied with
its station and function, once appeared
before God, making the complaint that
its burden was too heavy;and like tar
get. 1t was exposed to all the sorrows,
and pains of man. To which God made
answer that If the heart received the
giadneNs of joy it should also accept
sorrows. The heart was satisfied with
that but made further plant that op-
posing sen timents and desires so over
crowded it and perpleXed it that ther.
was constant danger of mistaking right
for wrong in discriminat ting between
them. To this the answer was made that
the heart should hang up balance In
Its chambers named Conscience AMI
on its scale all inclinations, sentiments
and desires should be laid and admitted
or dismissed according to its. decisions
But the senses re'belled and determined
to conspire against this new order of
things, they agreed. that whenever sen
suous desires were placed on the scale
they would clandestinely pull the string |
This state of things brought about
sad change and the heart again repaired |
to the Lord, who answered, The balance /
is good, but the weight is bad; be watch |
full of the weights and thou wilt find the |
balance right
OF this parable Rabbi Solomon mad
this application: BE therefore in judg- |
ment of your own sentiments, actions
and purposes as severe as you are when /
you weigh the actions and motives OF |
others. Be as mild toward your neigh
bors' feelings as you are toward your
own then will your heart be pure. and |
you will be able to say. in the words of |
King solomon. I have made my heart
pure; I am cleansed of my sins "
Preceding and following the sermon
there was prayer bearing on the same
general subject, and the rest of the SER
vice was made up of ritual and music
A large audience was present, and the
services commencing this morning al
