MYSTERIOUS EXPEDITION.
A Company Fitting Out at Seattle
to GO to Alaska,

SEATTLE (Wash-), Nov. 2.-Mystery
surrounds the sailing Of an Alaskan
expedition. The company is headed by
George Rennick, an Idaho mine opera
tor. He and his partner, George Fin
ster, are supposed to be the only per-
sons who have worked in the new
camp. They came out about sixty days
ago, and apparently reliable authority
says they brought with them upwards
Of $4,000 in gold dust. They discovered
the new diggings, the exact location Of
which is jealousy withheld from the
public. Rennick has been prospecting
in Alaska with varying success for
three years After trying his fortune
at Cooks Inlet and Forty Mile, he went
to Stewart River and thence to the dis
trict where he met with such fiattering
success. The diggings, so far as can be
learned, are between Sitka and the
mouth of Copper River and about go
miles from the coast. The expedition
headed by Rennick consists of twenty
men, all in the employ of himself and
partner. Financially, they are report
ed to be backed in the venture by Con-
necticut capitalists. The little vessel in
which they sailed for the north to-day
is a steam schooner known as the Au-
gusta.
Besides the men, he has forty dogs,
twenty sleds, and about fifty tons of
provisions. From the sea the food sup
ply will be for the main part transport
ed to the new camp on dog sleds.

Mrs. C of Staten Island had in her

MISSAL OF CHARLES TX.
Historic Volume Which Fell Into
Booksellers Hands.

There is an old story that CharieS
TX, the redgning monarch of France al
the time of the st. Bartholomew massa-
ere, received from a mysterious source
the present of missal. This missal
he used at mass in the chapel of the
Louvre. Next day he was dead, fOI
the leaves of the said missal were poi
soned. And as Charles TX. had the
habit of wetting his fingers with saliva
to aid in the turning of the leaves of a
book, he fell victim to this unkingly
and, indeed, ungentlemanly, vice.
Now it is claimed that this missal has
been preserved. The further assertion
has been made that it was sold only
week ago by bookseller Luyster, OF
Nassau street, to a prominent New
Yorker. Mr.. Luyster admits this. But
he will not reveal the name of the
prominent New Yorker. He repre-
sents him to be man of such shrink
ing modesty that he does not care to
come before the public even in this vi
cariOus sort.
What does this gentleman intend 10
do with his purchaser l asked.
Il am not sure. But | think he
will eventually present it to some New
York library
"Wnl It not be dangerous thing to
have around?'
'Oh, no. Not now. Time has elirninat-
ed all the poisonous elements from
these pages. This I know 20 be SO,
for my customer told ME ne has sub
nitted the volume to an expert chem
iSt, who informs him that there IS no
poison in it's vellum pages"
The missal. l further learned. is a
small quarto manuscript Illuminated
with borders and miniatures by Hes
din and Beaunevey, artists employed by
the Due de Berri 1t was executed By
them at his order, for Cardinal Pietro
Ascagni about 1920. The CardinaPs S
books came to France; the King gave
some of them to Diane de Poitiers.
Diane de Poitiers gave several to the
Princes of Conde and to the Dukes of
Guise. Nothing seems clearer to the
old chroniclers than that the missal
made for Pietro Ascagni, the Cardi-
nal, came to Charles, the King, through
friends of Henry de Guise.

stamped many times. There can be no
error among book lovers about the age
of a missal, the artists of it, its value
at the time when it was executed, and
its binding. Missals cannot easily be
imitated-the art of their gold, their
blue and verrilion colors, none knows
nowadays. Bindings may be imitat-
ed-they may not be reproduced.
1t was the famous John Cronin of
Brooklyn, who was the first American
to come into possession of this book.
AS he initiated Charles TX. in his hab-
it of wetting leaves as he turned them,
he was desperately afraid of his acqui-
Sition.
He wrapped IT in tissue paper and
envelopes, this in a silk handkerchief.

1t was reported that Mr.. Rhodes was

the British Chartered South African
Company was questioned to-day con-
corning the report of the death of Mr..
Rhodes, and he expressed the opinion
that there was no truth in the stories

TRICKY FALCON ISLAND.
Has Played a "Shen Game" on Eng
land and France.

Far away out in the deep Pacific
Ocean exists a small group of land
which shows that it has decided sptr-
it and sweet little will Of it's own, for
it will not undergo allegiance to any
country. Governments often expert
ence considerable trouble in preserving
the allegiance Of peoples they have con-
quered, but, as a rule, a piece of prop
erty or real estate has been looked upon
as likely to remain in the same place
for considerable period of time
This little island, which has received
the name of Falcon Island, proves an
exception to the rule, however No
sooner has it been annexed than it
disappears off the face of the globe,
leaving only a dangerous reef to in
dicate its former WHEREABOUTS, and
coming up in a few years time, when
the country which has performed the
annexation has given up all claims
Our old friend John Bull, always on
the watch to increase his imperial en-
pire, was the first to encounter it. In
1889 the British corvette Egeria was
sent on a cruise among the South Sea
Islands, with orders from the British
Admiralty to seize upon any islands
or coral reefs that had hitherto been
unclaimed and to take possession in
the name of the Queen. Cruising
around she noticed from afar off a
prominent island, toward which she
sailed Tall palm trees were growing
on it's southern extremity, which was
a commanding bluff, rising $50 feet
above the level of the sea.
Having reported the results of his
voyage to the Admiralty, next year
they sent out transport ship, with
orders to make further discoveries and
reports. What was the dismay of the
Captain of the Egeria, who happened
to be in command of the transport, on
arriving at the place where he had the
year before left the island sporting the
union jack, to find that it had disap-
peared from view! Instead of the
beautiful island standing out so prom
inently from the ocean was low and
dangerous coral reef with the sea beat
ing and surging against it.
Two years later France, also seized
with the inordinate desire Of annexiag
new territory, sent the cruiser Duchaf-
fault to the Pacific Cruising around
she found her way to Falcon. There,
instead of finding sunken reef,
whitened with the foam of the break
ers, the vessels crew discovered an
island the exact shape of the Island
found by the English corvette in 1883
Scarcely two years had passed away
when a brig sent out by France to fe-
visit her possessions found her way TO
Falcon Island. 1t had again disap-
peared it being simply a reef danger

that West African advices received at

the Baribas tribesmen of the British ex-
pedition sent into the Tagos Hinter-

here that this report from West Africa

ing 300 of them with the loss of only
six Haussas.

Republicans Garry the State by
About 1900.

returns from about one-fourth of the
2O05 precincts of the State show that
the Republican plurality viii be about
1l,OO0. These returns are from all parts
of the State, including both city and
country precincts, and it is believed
that the ratio established there will be
substantially maintained. The ratio OF
Democratic gains has been about %
per cent. for about 500 precincts. That
will give the Democrats a net gain in
the State of about Al 600.
The legislative ticket returns are slow
in coming in. The best estimates OBJ
tanned here give the Senate thirty-six
Republicans twelve Democrats and two
districts in doubt OF the members of
the House, probably foa-ty-five out of
100 will be Republican, giving them a
