SOLDIERS FOR TIE YUKON.
Alaskan Affairs Discussed by the
Cabinet Today.

WASHINGTON, Sept. II, 1897.-At to-
days cabinet meeting, which lasted over
two hours, the situation in Alaska was
discussed. Secretary of War Alger had a
report from Captain Ray, who has just
arrived at st. Michaels, which furnished
basis for the discussion and the course
which was decided upon Captain Rays
report was in the nature of an urgent ap-
peal for troops to preserve peace and
order during the coming winter.
There is vast amount of stores, and
supplies at St. MichaePs and there is
not United States soldier in the whole
territory of Alaska. After considering
the subject it was decided to send a
company of infantry to st. MichaePs as
soon as possible.
Secretary Alger will arrange the de-
tail Immediately and he hopes to have the
company sail within week, probably
from Seattle. He has not yet selected
the officer who will be placed in com
mand, nor does he yet know from what
post the company will be taken. This
action is in effect the establishment of a
military post at the mouth of the Yukon.
The commanding officer probably will be
allowed great discretion and latitude as
the purpose in sending the troops there
is to preserve order. Secretary Alger de-
cliEes at present to make public Captain
Rays report.
1t is understood the administration will
take some action looking to the appre-
hension and punishment of the assassins

been taken in that direction. They prefer
to fight it OUT until many firms have

driven to foreign lands, and, until the
forces on both sides are exhausted. and
thousands are face to face with starva-

We repeat, the belligerent forces prefer

outbreak of the Franco-German War; but
that war was the outcome of vanity and

selves and the United States-without

ourselves and the Republic is laughed at

SLEU7H TO THE Rescue
Waldorf Dinner Nearly Spoiled
Because Of the Unlueky
Number.

Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Keller, of NO.
252 West Thirty-seventh street. New York
City, celebrated last night the tenth an
niversary of their wedding, and a
sumptuous banquet in the aristocratic
Waldorf Hotel was prepared. To the
feast, were invited: Mr.. and Mrs. L. G..
Chase, Mr.. Michael Cohen, Miss Lottie
Cohen, Mr. Maurice Cohen, Miss Flora
Cohen and Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Perlmut-
ter, Mr.. Harry Perlmutter, Jr., and Miss
Eva Perlmutter of this city. The seventh
couple invited was Mr.. Joseph Perlmutter
of this city and his fiancee, Miss Elizabeth
Cohen of New York City, to whom he is
to be married September 21.
About seven o'clock the party began to
arrive, and when the pretty bride to be OF
Mr.. Joseph Perlmutter looked at the
guests she gave a small shrek and grasp
ing Mr.. Perlmutter by the arm, said
oh! Joe, there are thirteen. Just be-
fore my marriage, too," and there was
suspicion of a tear in her bright, pretty
eyes. Now, Mr. Perlmutter has soul
above superstition, but when a charming
women pleads, he, like the gallant gentle
man, gives way. But no SO her father.
He made an eloquent appeal to set at
nought the thirteen idea
''Why, there's Thirteen Club" he ex-
claimed, laughingly, with thirteen mem
bers. They meet on the 18th of every
month and only eat beef on thirteen days
of the year. Their whole existence re-
wolves in the world of thirteen. I tell
you, they are happy, and how they do
laugh at superstitious folk Like you!
They have searched the records for CEN
turies and they can prove to you that the
number thirteen is positively lucky"
Eyes, and President Mckinley consent
ed to be an honorary member of the
Thirteen Club, added Maurice Cohen
True and it was before election, too,"
continued her brother Michael, who then
thought that he had clinched the argu-
ment.
1t was all very well, but Miss Cohen was
not to be won over by that kind of elo-
quence, and her mother and sister sided
with her. But what was to be done?
Mr.. Harry Perlmutter was absent.
Where was he?"
"Oh, he was waiting for his trousers
to be pressed" some one said.-
Finally Mr.. Keller exclaimed: ST have
it; I will ring for a messenger boy and
he can sit down with u.s. The hotel
people, however, had some scruples about
spelling the messenger boys digestion
with the Waldorfs delicacies and that
plan wouldn't work The Gordian knot
was solved by the manager, who sug-
gested inviting the handsome detective
of the Waldorf, Schuyler West, and when
the lucky, and OH how fortunate, detec-
tive glanced at the company generally
and particularly at the ladies, and took
a sidelong squint at the menu he was
overcome and down he sat. blessing the
Thirteen superstition and devoutly hoping
it would crop up again soon.
The feast proceeded and everybody was
delighted with the substitute.

BATTLE OF THE BONES.
Experts Still Tsstifying Against
Luetgert = Mary Simmer
ing's Part in the
Tragedy.

CHICAGO, Sept. AZ, 1S97.-When the
trial of Adolph L. Luetgert opened today,
the cross-examination of Prof Dorsey
was resumed. He was questioned as to
the comparative nature of the sesamoid
and femur bones of a calf, of a sheep, and
a human being. His answers were
technical and adriot, but of a character
that supported his original Identification
and testimony with reference to the bones
in evidence.
There is said to be a difference between
Luetgert's counsel with reference to the
defendant taking the witness stand in his
own behalf. Attorney Vincent is not in
clined to permit Luetgert to do so. At
torney Phalen believes the sausage maker
should tell his story to the jury. Luet-
CERT himself is quite determined to go up
on the witness stand He not only desires
to tell his story, but also wants to ad-
dress the jury. In all likelihood he will
testify.
States Attorney Deneen hoped this
morning to rest his case today. II have
only two more Witnesses said the States
Attorney. .They are Frank Bialk and
Frank Odorofsky. By them | shall show
the motive for the crime-namely, Luet-
gert's infatuation for Mary Simmerins

FUSS OVER A SWITCH.
Mayor Fagan and HobOken officials
Have a Lively Dispute.

Mayor Pagan and the members of the
Street Committee of the Hoboken Com
mon Council got into a lively dispute
this morning over the action of the Jer-
sey City, Hoboken and Rutherford Rail-
way Company, in laying a switch in
First street, between Washington and
Bloomfield streets. The city is construct
ing a sewer in Second street and the
thoroughfare is completely blocked and
of course traffic is impossible. The rail
way company concluded that something
should be done to get their cars in and
construct switch in First street, to be
used until Second street was opened.
Several officials of the company talked
the matter over with Mayor Pagan and
the latter, without consulting the Coun-
ell, gave the company permission to con-
struct the switch.
This morning Captain August Bewig,
who is chairman of the Street Commit
tee, happened along First street, and
was surprised when he saw the work.

quired. Another trolley road?"
The workman whom Captain Bewig ad-
dressed either didn't know or wouldn't
tell what was going to be done, SO the
Captain grew angry and yelled to the
gang to quit work.
who told you to tear up this street
without my consent?" he asked. Again
the men were afraid to answer, but they
considered it wise to stop work until
matters were Strengthened out
Mayor Pagan was sent for and Coun-
cilmen McGovern, Steuerwald and several
other members of the committee arrived
on the scene. None of the committee
men had been consulted about the switch
and they were indignant.
When the Mayor appeared he explained
how the city had blocked Second street
and said he saw no reason why the COM
pany should not be allowed to operate its
cars. After much talk the Councilmen
finally consented to allow the work to go
ahead

jured by a Stone Thrown
Through His Store
Window.
AssAlLANT IN CUSTODY
Corrigan Refused Whiskey, Re-
venges Himself Serious Con-
dition Of Injured Man.

Henry Corrigan, forty-two years old, of
No. 3S1 Grove street. was arrested at noon
today for atrocious assault and battery
upon John Murphy, saloonkeeper, at
Baldwin avenue and Montgomery street,
next door to the City Hospital. Murphy S
skull is fractured and he is not expected
to live through the day.
Corrigan went into the saloon shortly
before twelve O'Clock today. He was
drunk and ugly. He ordered whiskey.
Murphy refused to sell it to him. Not
able to secure the drink, Corrigan be-
came abusive and threatened to beat
Murphy, who was alone with him. MUIR
ply, who is a powerfully built man,
stepped from behind the bar and grab
bing Corrigan, put him out of the front
door.
The saloon is right next a quarry and
the street in front of it is filled with
Jagged bits of rock. Corrigan, who was
thoroughly mad, picked up one of these
and hurled it through the window of the
saloon at Murphy. His aim was true.
The rock struck Murphy on the top of
his head, splitting his skull open. He
dropped like lead.
Mrs. Murphy, who had heard the rump-
US, ran down from her apartments above
the saloon. When she saw her husband
lying on the floor, covered with blood
and unconscious, she ran to the street,
screaming for help. Several drivers for
the New York Condensed Milk Company,
which has it's depot opposite the saloon,
and who had seen Corrigan throw the
stone ran after him and caught him be-
fore he had gone far down Montgomery
street They turned him over to Patrol
man Mead, who locked him up in the
Montgomery street station.
DIR. Booream was summoned from the
City Hospital. He pronounced Murphy S
skull badly fractured. Murphy was car
red on stretcher into the hospital next
door. He has a wife and children. The
physician says he may die from the blow.

Consul Brupot Sends Notes of Their
Development In France.

WASHINGTON, Sept. II, 1S97-An in
teresting history of the development of
automobile carriages in France comes to
the State Department from United States
Consul Brunot at st. Etienne. He calls

to the great strides being made in France
by builders of automobiles stimulated by
the constant public demand, and for their
information if they can be induced to COM
pete, he submits price list of the French
vehicles ranging from 5000 for a two seat
carriage to $1,000 for six seat wagonette
