DETERMINED TO GET THERE.
Hundreds Pushing Their Way to the NOndike
 Gold Fields Dscouraging News.

Special Correspondence of the Associated
 Press.
 Juneau. Aug. 27.-The steamers City
 of Kingston. FaIrellon Rosalie and Queen have brought upward of 400 peo- pl7 from the sound ports and San Fran cisco together with horses, cattle, sheep, etc, during the past few days carrying the entire party to Skaguay and Dyea. People are getting over the Chilkoot Pass, but nons are going through from Skoguay. Many horses have been ruined by the mire and many knowing they cannot get through, have had their goods carried around to Dyea, but it is expen- sive and a large portion of the army of travelens have no money for such pur- poses. Just what such outfits are go- ing to do is a mystery. They are now eating supplies which they expected to use in the Yukon country.
 Juneau merchants have sent up a stock of goods to sell at Sl0aguay and 0 small amount of lumbar has gone up so that a few shacks can be erected.
 Quite a number have turnsd back, no; allowing their outfits to be taken off the boats which brought them up. At Ju- neau at present there are number of Well-lSlnoWn mining men who are deSir- ouls of prospecting for the eastern mar kets some claims in southeast Alaska.
 An fee plant was established last week in Juneau.

THE CORPUS DELlCTl
Is All the State Now Needs in the Luetgert Mur-
 der Caee to Convict.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-An important con- ference was held today between the states attorneys and the experts in the Lue', gert murder case.
 The vital question of the Corpus de- lictP' was under discussion. If the state cam prove concluls.vely the corpus de- lioti-can show that portions of the body of a human being were taken fTgtn the fatal vat and from the ashes from the furnace-it will have a case of re- marlSable strength. The conference lasted for several hours.
 The great point is the bones found near the outhouse where Frank Odor- ofsl1y said he dumped the residue of the vat and the bones found in ehe ashes from the furnIalce. None of the parties of the conference would tell definitely of the results.
 Tt can be stated, ssdd Assistant Attor- ney McEwan, that the State has found that it can produce conclusive proof or the corpus delfcu. Further Than that it would be unwise to talk at the ppes- ent time.
 It is predicted that the fiercest legal battle of the great murder trial will come when Police Inspector Schaack. who has bsen very active in ferretting out the mystery surrounding Mrs. Luet- gerts disappearance takes the stand It is at the door of the North Side inspector that Adolph L. Luetgert lays his present troubles. The sausage mak- er IS extremely bitter against Schaack and his attorneys will try to bring out evidence to show that witnesses have been coached and that money has been used by the police in fixing testimony. Efforts were made to show the police methods in the instances of Gottfieba Schimploe by trying to draw from for that the complaint of the police matron was only a scheme to keep the girl un- der police protection. This taken with the bitter personal feeling which At torney Vincent is said to harbor against Inspector Schaack would likely maks- the court room scene that would follow the introduction of Schaack as a wit ness one of the most exciting features of 'tlIetrial.
 In fact it has been learned that the defense has planned to make this a strong feature of it's side of the case. Attorney Vincent has, it is said, some twenty-five witnesses who wiNl be put on the stand for the purpose of i'm peaching the testimony of the inSpec- fOr.

 When Poole, the English tailor, was an old man he was at Brighton, on vaca- tion and one afternoon went out for a walk upon the pier. A young man was also on the pier with couple of ladies, to whom he said as he saw Poole coming: ''Now, you wouldn't take that good-look- ing man for tailor but he is. Just ns- ten while I take him down a notch or two. I'll tell him my coat, which I have just had from him, doesn't fit." As he spoke Poole approached and politely ac- knowledged the salutation of his custom Der, who, walking up to him, said: Here, Poole. now do you take look at me. Does this fit?" Poole took in the situation. "It certainly does not fit" ss n he, and, pulling out bit of French chalk, he proceeded literally to mark and cross the toat of his would-be queller all over and then observed with the utmost ur- bandty: "Now, if you will kindly send thatscoat to my shop the alterations shall be attended to-"

Non-partisan government for Great
or New York has been the cry of the
best elements of the Republican party
in the old city of New York for a long
time. The election of Strong as mayor
was a triumph for the nOn-partisan
advocates, and his administration has
amply confirmed the wisdom OF their
choice. No better administration has
ever been given the city. The police
department and the street department
have never even approximately shown
such efficiency, thoroughness, such
economy, such absolute abstention
from political interfering and such
downright good work as they have
shown under the Strong administra-
ton. The inference from these facts
is that a non-partisan administration
for Greater New York is the thing de-
sired and the candidate of this par
ty, if there is party that is not par
tisan, is Chancellor Low of the Uni
versity of Columbia. Plat is fighting
the non-partisan movement with all
the powers that he can command. be-
cause he needs the machine in New
York to retain and sustain him in
keeping his foot upon the neck of the
Republican party in the state. He has
nothing to congratulate himself upon
in the result to date.
