MORE ICY TERRITORY
London Rumor Has It We
Are to Buy Greenland.
ENGLAND'S JEALOUSY AROUSED
IL Part of Hudson Bay Grain Route
Negotiations With Denmark
Said to Be Under Way.

London, Oct. There is rumor
in Canadian circles that the govern
ment of the United States has made
overtures to the government of Dem
mark with the object of acquiring
Greenland from the latter country.
The Evening News gives prominence
to the rumOr, and says:
Under ordinary circumstances,
even if true, the report would excite
little interest, but, coupled with the
news of the hosting of the union jack
on Baffin's Land, it becomes of great
moment. 1t appears that Baffin's Land
was never formally acquired by the
English, although it has been regarded
as English territory for half century.
Hudson's strait is destined to become a
part, in the future, of a great grain
carrying route between Liverpool and
Winnipeg, which will be powerful
rival of the American land route. The
Americans have no part or feeling in
the Eastern part of the continent north
of Maine, and if they are to participate
in the advantages of the Hudson bay
route, it will be urged that their gov
eminent secure some island or peninsu-
la without delay
The Evening News adds to this com
ment an interview with an unnamed
Canadian official to the effect that the
hosting of the union jack over Baffin' s
Land was probably provoked by the re-
ports that the United States govern
ment had its eye upon that territory.
According to the official, there is moth
ing to prevent the United States from
purchasing Greenland from Denmark.
In conclusion, the News remarks:
IF the Americans acquire Greenland
there will be difficulty ahead for our
transatlantic commerce and interna-
tional relations. If they have not &C.
quired it already, what is to prevent
our securing it?''

SUPREME COURT DECISION.

Begin.

Payment Of State Warrants will Soon
Begin.
Salem, Sept. 30.-The supreme court
convened today, Justices Wolverton
and Bean being present.
The petition for rehearing in the case
of E. D. Shattuck, appellant, vs. Har-
rison r. Kincaid, secretary of state,
respondent, was denied. This is the
mandamus suit brought by the appel
liant to compel the respondent, as Sec
rotary of state, to audit his claim and
issue warrant On the state treasurer
in payment thereof, for salary as cir
cult judge of the fourth judicial dis
trict.
This suit was commenced in Judge
Hewitt's court, department No. 2, cir
cult court of Marion county. Upon
the filing of complaint the court
issued an alternative writ of manda-
mus, addressed to the defendant and
resondepnt, as asked, to show cause for
not complying with the plaintiff de-
was filed by the defendant, and the
court ordered pro forma judgment,
sustaining the demurrer. The plaintiff
refused to amend or further plead, and
the court ordered the writ quashed, and
gave judgment for the defendant, dis
missing the proceeding. From this
judgment appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court. A lengthy opinion was
rendered, in which it was held that the
demurrer should have been overruled
and the case remanded. A petition
for rehearing was filed by the secretary
of states attorneys without his advice.
One petition, prepared by N. B. Knight,
was published before being filed with
the court. The petitions were both
overruled.
Secretary Kincaid said today thatshe
has no disposition to delay the matter
further, and it being satisfactory to
both parties to the suit, it is under
stood, the supreme court has agreed to
issue peremptory writ, and the secre-
tary of state will begin issuing war
rants right away.

Scarcity Of Sailors.

San Francisco, Sept. 30.-Over 80
vessels have finished loading wheat in
San Francisco this month, and the mat
ter of securing sailors for them has re-
solved itself into serious problem.
whats the good of a charter to a
vessel when captain cannot produce
sailors to man herr" was remark
made by a disguised British skipper
yesterday. MANY a good ship is load
ed and ready to sail, but is compelled
to swing at her anchor because the
master cannot procure men at the rul-
ing rate. It will come to split up
pretty soon, and the sailors wages will
advance, contract or no contract"
The situation is about as follows:
Nearly all the British ships in port are
under contract to certain shipping mas
tiers. These latter have agreed to sup
ply men all the year around whenever
required, and at no time are wages to
exceed $40 per month and $40 advance.
At the present time the rate in Port
land and on Puget sound is $50 a
month and $50 advance, consequently
sailors in this port will not ship at the
lower rate. At the present time the
ships Boutwell,, st. Mirren, Dalgonar,
Glencaird, Kensington, Largiemore,
Leicester Castle and Matterhorn, and
the barks Cloncaird, Forfarkshire and
Iverlochy are lying in the stream
awaiting crews Some of them are at
an expense of $3.50 day, and at that
rate will soon eat up the etxra wages
demanded by the men.

A Fatal Accident on the o. r. = N.
Railway.
The Dalles, Or, Sept. 29.-An acct
dent occurred on the O. r. & N. road
at 1880 O'Clock last night which re-
suited in the killing of the engineer,
Charles Johnson, and the probable fatal
injury of the fireman, Hickman.
Train No. %, an east bound freight,
pulled out of The Dalles last night on
time. For some days severe winds
have prevailed along the road, resulting
in sand drifts on the track. Between
The Dalles and John Day river No. %
had lost considerable time, and when
the accident occurred johnson was
speeding his engine along in an effort
to make up his schedule.
The night was dark, and when a
quarter of a mile east OF John Day
station the engine ran into the drift.
The locomotive left the track, turn
ing on it's side as it plunged down the
embankment, carrying with it the ten
der and two freight cars.
Neither Engineer johnson nor Fire
man Hickman had time to jump. Both
went down with the wreck. Johnson's
life was crushed out in an instant, he
being fairly buried beneath the engine.
Hickman, the fireman. was pinned
down by the locomotive. and, with
both legs broken, the unfortunate man
received the vent of the escaping steam.
A wrecking train was sent out and
Engineer Johnson's body was recovered
and conveyed to his home in this city.
Fireman Hickman was sent by spe-
cial train to st. Vincent's hospital,
Portland. DIR. Mackenzie, the COM
pany's surgeon. is with the injured
man, and an effort will be made to save
the poor fellows life.
Only two cars, according to railroad
authorities, left the track, in addition
to the engine and tender. The wreck
was cleared at noon today and the track
opened for traffic.

Average Keeps I'm.

New Orleans, Sept. 30.-The yellow
fever situation here continues exasper-
atingly the same. A daily average Of
Is to 20 new cases and deaths has
kept up. But, while there is no sign of
an epidemical visitation, the slow prog
ress of the disease puts obstacles daily
in the way of the merchant public, who
are anxious to again resume trade with
the surrounding country. The record
today was not unlike that of many
other days, in that it showed death
through sheer neglect of the patient.
There have been 81 cases up to date
having fatal termination. The facts
are incontrovertible that at least one
half died through neglect or lack of
attention. Business is showing feeble
signs of revival, and the railroads are
putting forward superhuman efforts to
secure modification of the quarantine
regulations. DR.. ELEPHANTS trip up
the road tomorrow, at the invitation of
the Southern Pacific Company, with a
view to securing MODIFICATION of the
existing quarantine, will settle it
whether trade is to stagnate for several
weeks longer or whether it is partially
to be resumed at once.
Today two deaths were reported.
There have been total of LIT cases
to date. A number Of patients were
discharged today.

TERRIBLE SUFFERING.
Experiences Of . Young American and
His Sister.

New York, Sept. 29.-The Journal
and Advertiser says: Three years ago
Miss Eloise Burnett was the belle of
Cienfuegos, Cuba. She was rich.
Now she lies upon a cot in a lOx1O
room in a small house on the outskirts
of Philadelphia, her body burning with
fever, her mind racked by terror of the
Spaniards. her memory full of. the hor-
rors OF an experience Astounding in star
walton, suffering and peril.
In similar condition, aggravated by
wounds, is DR.. Andre Brunett, who
served as major in the Cuban army.
The father of these refugees was an
American, who owned large estate at
Cienfuegos. He died in 1898, and his
son, DIR. Brunett, went to Cuba to set
tie up the estate. The Spanish admin
istration of such affairs made this Q
long and difficult task. In Septembeu.
1895, General Rego raised the Cuban
standard in the Cienfuegos district, and
the young Cuban-American was one of
the first to join him.
1t was impossible for his sister to re-
main on the plantation, and she there
lore went into the Cuban service as a
nurse. For 20 months she shared the
hardships of the patriots. She re-
manned bravely in the Cuban army,
caring for the sick and wounded, help
ing to cook the scant provisions and
proving herself heroine on many &C.
c. siOns.
After two months of this life they
both contracted malarial fever, and
were so i'll that they had to leave the
insurgent army and seek shelter, and
they found neither and were compelled
to take refuge in a cave, where they
lived for % weeks, having no food but
green pumpkins, sweet potatoes and
water from a stagnant pool. Both suf-
fered terribly from fever, and were
often delirious. Finally the brother
managed to climb the hill and attract
the attention of Spanish planter, who
took them to Sierra, whence they we're
taken by boat to Cienfuegos.
When they landed at the wharf Miss
Burnett had no shoes, and her dress,
which she had worn for three months,
was in shreds. They were almost un-
able to walk, and were dragged along
by the Spanish soldiers, who struck
and cursed them. The Spanish COM
mander examined them separately to
find excuse to put them to death, but
failing in that, he permitted them to
go to their sisters, who lived mile
away, On condition that they report in
person every three or four days. This,
in their condition, entailed the most in
tense sueffring, but the order was pitt
lessly enforced.
DR.. Burnett appealed to the Ameri-
can consul, Owen McGarr, for aid, but
it was refused. Then followed long
correspondence with the state depart
ment at Washington, and in the end the
consul was ordered to help them. They
received passports on August l3, and
sailed September Z. Their passage
was paid all the way to New York in
stead of Florida.
DR.. Burnett and his sister have filed
a claim at Washington against the
Spanish government for destruction OF
their property.

Tug Holyoke Arrives Safely at Port
Townsend.

Tug Holyoke Arrives Safely at Port
Port Townsend, Oct. 1.-The tug
Holyoke arrived tonight from st.
Micheals, having left there on Septem-
Der IL with the schooner w. j. Bryant
in tow.
On the 21st of the month, while off
Kadiak island, heavy storm prevailed,
and the tug was forced to heave to for
a period of 90 hours. During the storm
the hawser which connected the schoon-
er and the tug parted, and the schooner
went adrift. While it is not thought
the Bryant has been lost, grave fears
for her safetysare entertained. She car
ried a crew of seven men and two pas
sengers, the latter being Engineer Tur-
ner and wife, of the steamer Eliza
Anderson.
The reason given for the probable
safety of the Bryant is that she was
known as one of the best sea boats OF
her tonnage in the North Pacific
waters. She is 55 tons measurement,
and Tor many years WAS uoSu as q Piio'-
boat off Cape Flattery and at the
mouth of the Columbia river.
Captain Ginger, of the Holyoke, says
the Bryant may be expected to sail up
the Straits at any time.
Captain Tom Powers. of the Eliza
Anderson, returned from Dutch harbor
on the Holyoke. He Indignantly de-
MES the report that the Anderson will
leave her bones where she now lies,
but says the old craft will be on the
Sound and Alaska run next season,
and that scarcity of fuel is all that
prevented him bringing her back to the
Sound now. He says the Anderson
never leaked enough to drown . rat,
and that all the passengers who went
north on her will verify his story.
People at st. Michaels are we'll pro-
vided with the necessaries of life for
winter, and many Of them are engaged
in building boats which Will be oper-
ated on the river next season.

mine, in the Cartillitos group, IL
miles from this city, in Mexico, caved
in today, killing II men who were at
work on thesmine at the time. The un-
fortunates were buried alive under 80
feet of rocks and dirt. The San Pedro
is one of the oldest mines in the group
and rich in silver. It is the property
of the wealthy Cartillios Company, the
principal stockholders of which reside
in New York. If the mine was not
timbered, the Mexican government will
impose heavy fine on the company on

Webster Convicted.

Spokane, WASH, Sept. 28.-The
Webster murder trial ended in sensa-
tional denoument tonight. The jury,
after having been out for more than 80
hours, came in with "a verdict OF muir.
der in the first degree, and was dis
charged, but two of the jurors, R. ].
Frasier and G. Thomas, Immediately
delivered a signed statement to the
attorneys for the defense that the ver-
dict was against their convictions, and
they only yielded after physical and
mental exhaustion from the long strain
in the jury room. Frasier is 65 years
of age and Thomas 70. It is thought
that this will undoubtedly lead to a
new trial
