THE RUSH CONTINUES
The Exodus of Gold Seekers on
the Increase.
NEW SCHEMES TRIED TO GET THERE.
The Latest Idea Is to Charter q Sailing
Vessel and Take Sixty Men,
Each Taking a Ton of
Provisions,

San Francisco. July 2S.-The throngs
about every shipping office that has
even the remotest Alaskan relations
have by no means diminished. 1t would
seem that the only circumstance which
prevents the wholesale depopulation of
San Francisco is the limit to the trans
portation facilities. Not only strong
men, whose broad backs, bronzed faces
and work worn hands tell OF previous
experience with the labor that literally
sweats the brow, but clerks and pro-
fessional men and women in hundreds
are seeking for information or trans
portation to the land where nuggets are
to be had, they think, for the picking
up.
Every day sees some new scheme for
overcoming the difficulties in the way
of reaching the Klondike, and the fleet
of steamers and schooners pressed into
service is growing steadily. The latest
of the Klondike transportation company
schemes is being engineered by Captain
HERMAN of the firm of HERMAN &
Mills, who has mapped out a plan for
reaching the diggings by the middle of
September. He will charter a large
sailing vessel, and the party will con-
sist of 60 men, each of whom will take
one ton of provisions. No one will be
permitted to go unless he takes this
quantity.
Each one will be charged $225 for the
trip, and Captain Herman thinks that
for this sum he can land them in Daw-
son City before Sept. 20. The ship will
carry a large lighter and a steam
launch will be used to tow the lighter
from st. Michael to the Klondke.
After reaching st. Michael the cargo
and passengers will be transferred to
the lighter. Captain HERMAN will re-
turn to San Francisco in the vessel, and
the party will be conducted to their
journeys end by an agent of the firm
who is thoroughly acquainted with the
river
The Alaska Commercial comuanv's
steamer Excelsior, which has just left,
will not make another trip to Alaska
before June of next year. All the ac-
commodations to be disposed of for this
trip have been sold and the fact well
advertiseSa but would be passengers
continue 70 throng the company's Of
flee
The Commercial company not only de-
clines to sell any more tickets, but its
representatives do all in their power to
dissuade applicants from making the
trip until next year. Some 20 or sc
have endeavored to secure accommoda-
tions for the first trip next June, The
company declines to bind itself so far
ahead, although a number of the appli-
cants were willing to put up a forfeit
and agree to abide by any terms the
company might make for the next
years trip.

To Establish an Alaskan Post.

San Francisco, July 2s.-In response
to telegraphic inquiry as to whether
he could spare full company of in
fantry for the establishment of a post
at Circle City, Alaska, for the protec-
ton of American interests General
Shafter, commanding the department OF
California, has notified Secretary Alger
that a company could easily be organ
lied at IL hours notice for service in
Alaska and asked for full instructions.
General Shafter is prepared for an
order to dispatch his company north
Immediately in order that it may reach
the Yukon before navigation closes. He
expressed the opinion that the company
would leave here in a special train for
Portland, Or, and that it will probably
be Joined there by a company from the
department of the Columbia. The Off
GERS to accompany the company will
be major, surgeon, captain and two
lieutenants, all of whom have been se-
lected from the volunteers.
Until final instructions arrive and the
matter has been finally settled officially
General Shafter declines to state what
company of his regiment has beer
chosen or by whom 1t will be COM
manded.

Professor Charles III. Marcy Dead.

New York. July 2S.-Professor Charles
Henry Marcy. well known in both
Brooklyn and New York as musician
and composer. died suddenly from ell
ther apoplexy or heart failure in his
fiat at 1921 Bedford avenue, Brooklyn.
He was alone at the time, and there Is
evidence that he was very i'll before
he fell upon his bed and died. He was
a member of several well known mu-
sical societies of the two cities, and his
music has been sung and played by
many of the famous musicians and
singers of the day. The attack of sick
ness came upon him suddenly, as his
posture indicated that he had fallen
upon the bed.

THENICHOLS MURDER
Arrest of a Man on Suspicion of
knowledge of the Crime.
MAY HELP CAPTURE THE MURDERER.
Suspicious Actions of the Arrested Man
Lead the Detectives to Believe He
Is In Communication With
the Guilty Person.

Bridgeport, Conn, July 2S.-The
Bridgeport detectives who are at work
upon the case involving the murder at
Daniels Farms last week of Marcus G.
Nichols, have made an arrest in the
town of Huntington, a small place
about five miles to the northeast of
Trumbull They took into custody John
Wickes, not as a principal in the crime,
but as one possibly possessing valua-
BILE information.
This arrest was made last evening
at the home of Mrs. Wilbur Bassett in
Huntington, the mother of Wickes, dur
ing an investigation set on foot to To-
cate one Charles Bonai, against whom
some tinge of suspicion has arisen. The
officers. having learned something of
the doings of Bonai, decided to arrest
him if possible. The police refuse to di-
vulge the most important part of their
evidence. but admit that they have rea-
son to want Bonai, who. they say. has
Travelled under several aliases. among
which are the names Mason and Bur-
ney.
Bonai is about 25 years Of age and
makes his headquarters at times in
Huntington. Six weeks ago he married
Miss Maggie Wickes, the daughter of
Mrs. Bassett by her first husband. He
lived with his young wife at the home
of his mother-in-la An investigation
by the police into the character of Bo-
mai showed that he had apparently
no steady occupation. He would leave
Huntington at intervals, and upon his
return would be flush" with money.
Susnected Mans Moyementa.
After tracing his goings and comings
recently as far as possible the de-
tectives learned that on Sunday last he
visited the distillery and cider mill OF
John Beardsley. near the Trumbull
town line. He made some purchases,
and In offering payment he displayed
quite a sum of money. 1t is further
added that he made the payment in
gold He then left and has not been in
his usual haunts since. Yesterday De-
tective Arnold went with others to the
Bassett house and tried to find Bonai.
They were informed that he was in
New York The detective questioned
Wickes. a brother-in-law of Bonai, rath-
er sharply. and his answers caused the
officer to feel warranted in placing ths
man under arrest. Late yesterday aft
ernoon Wickes was brought to Bridge
port and locked up.
The police state that 1t must not be
understood that they accuse Bonai OF
the murder and robbery, but informa-
ton in their possession leads them to
desire his arrest.

Girl. Body Found In the Canal.

Utica, N. Y, July 27.-Lulu Leary, II
years of age, had been missing since
Saturday from her home in this city.
Yesterday her body was taken from
the canal. The girl probably committed
suicide. She had lately been working
out, going home every night. She rode
q bicycle home, which she told her peo-
pie belonged to the lady for whom she
worked. They learned that it was rent
ed by the girl from bicycle livery. She
was probably severely punished for the
deception. At any rate she left home
and for week had been stopping with
two aunts.

COOPERATION ASKED FOR.
Secretary Bliss Addresses Circular to
the Chiefs of Interior Bureaus.


the Chiefs of Interior Bureaus.
Washington, July 27.-Secretary Bliss
has issued the following:
"Chiefs of Bureaus and Institutions Un-
der the Department of the Interior:
"Desirous of the fullest cooperation
with the chiefs of the several bureaus
and the heads Of the public institutions
under the department of the interior in
the promotion of efficiency in the serv-
ice, it is believed that results to that
end can be best attained by full. free
and timely conferences between the
secretary and those officers in respect
to proposed changes in the classified
service in their charge.
Therefore the secretary requests
such officials respectively, to confer
with him upon the subject of any con-
templated dismissals, reductions or pro-
motions in their classified clerical force
before any formal official recommenda-
tion be made relative thereto, to the
end that such action as may follow will
be based upon the fullest information
and most intelligent consideration prac-

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Preliminaries Presented by the Powers
Provide For Arbitration.

Provide For Arbitration.
Constantinople. July 27.-At the sit
ting of the peace conference the en-
bassadors presented the peace prelimi-
oaries drafted by the powers, which pro-
vide for European arbitration of any
differences that may arise between the
Greek and Turkish plenipotentiaries In
arranging definite treaty.
1t is stated that the powers will in
sist upon the acceptance by the porte
of this provision, and it's reception
therefore by the sultan will be highly
significant.
The desire of Germany to institute
European control of Greek finances still
hampers the settlement of the indem-
nifty question.
1t is understood that the Volo-Larissa
railway will be transferred to the Greek
administration, with the stipulation
that the same facilities shall be grant
ed to Turkey for the transportation OF
troops as are granted to the Greek gov
ernment.
This. therefore, does not indicate an
intention on the part of Turkey to evac-
uate Thessaly, but is merely a measure
of economy
