"A MINER WHO HAS RETURNED
FROM THE DIGGINS TELLS
HIS TALE OF WOE.
Thousands Have Starved : He Is a
Physical Wreck Was There
Three Years And His Pile Is
Only $4,000. There Is
Plenty of Gold.

Great Falls, Mont, July 23.-Frank
Moss, an old time miner in this sec
ton, who four years ago was one of
a party of Americans to first visit the
Klondyke country, returned today and
tells a story of horrors and starvation
seldom equalled even in modern nov
er camp seven miles wide and seven
teen miles long, located in a sink sur
rounded by wall of rock. Gold he
says, abounds, but no ordinary man
can stand the hardships Of the uncivil-
lied region. When Moss left here four
years ago he was a sturdy fellow over
six feet tall. From hardship and pri-
walton he is a cripple for life and bad
ly broken in health. In three years
he saw over 1000 graves made in the
Klondyke basin, a large majority dying
from starvation. The steamship COM
panies bring in all food and allow no
private importation. Consequently it
is not uncommon to go for weeks with
but a scant supply and for days en-
llItly WiluOul lStu. lHe SOIu
in last week to Seattle, Moss says, does
not represent the findings of individ-
ual shippers, but a large proportion of
it was confiscated from the effects of
those 1000 miners who fell a prey to
hardships. At the death of a man pos
sessed of dust, his body was buried
without a coffin and the dust divided
among those who cared for him. With
proper reliefs established by the gov
eminent Moss says gold can be taken
out at the rate of 100000 a month.
The richest strike has been made by
a 21-year-old boy named George Horn
blower, of indianapolis. In the heart
of barren waste, known as Boulder
field he found a nugget for which the
transportation company gave him
$500. He located his claim at the find
and at the end of four months had
taken out over 100000.
The richest section of Alaska is yet
says Moss. 1t is 100 miles
from Klondyke and is known as BLACK
Hole of Calcutta" 1t is inhabited by
ex-convicts of Bohemia and murders
and riots take the place of law and
order.
A few months ago Klondyke organ.
lied a justice committee and its laws
prevail there now.
With the great crowds preparing to
go to the scene now, says Moss, hun
ger and suffering will be great when
added to other hardships to be over |
come by those who survive. Moss re-
turned with $1,000 in dust and leaves |
tomorrow for his old home in Du- |
buque, Ia, where he will spend the |
Of his years.

LEAD COATED BULLETS.

Better than Steel and ninety Cents a
Pound Cheaper.
Springfield, ILL.,, July 23.-Charles w.
Knowles, a chemist and Edward j.
Perry, a surveyor of this city, have
discovered a secret solution by which
they coat leaden cartridges rendering
them superior to steel cartridges. The
ordinary leaden cartridges when used
in the Kag Jogensen rifles have been
found to be too soft and lead has chung
to the barrel of the rifle until the bar
rel was finally clogged and the steel
cartridges, which have succeeded the
lead ones have eventually torn the
barrel. Thesecartridges do neither.
Messrs. Knowles and Perry succeeded
in procuring some of the smokeless
powder used by the government and a
Krag Jorgensen rifle and have made
numerous experiments with their cart
ridges.
They will now offer to sell the gov
eminent their secret. The leaden bull
lets coated with this preparation would
cost the government ninety cents per
pound less than the steel bullets now
in use.

He Jumps Overheard and Saves
Drowning Man.
New York, July 23.-An accident on
board the battleship Texas, which is
lying at the Cob dock in the navy
yard, came very near resulting fatal
" to two of the crew of that ship, and
also led to another act of bravery on
the part of Ensign w. r. Gherardi.
The second whale boat of the, Texas
was called away" shortly before
o'clock. Two men went into the boat,
which was hoisted to the davits on the
port side at the time. John A. Va
plan, landsman, and a sailor named
Speers, were getting ready to lower the
boat when the former, it is said, acct
dentally struck the detchlng lever,re-
leasing the boat which fell about twen-
ty feet to the water. The two men
fell overheard and the boat filled with
water. The shock was so great that
the men were stunned and unable TO
keep afioat
The cry Man overheard" was rails
ed on the ship. Ensign Gherardi ran
up on deck and throwing his coat Off
plunged over the ships side. Three
seamen followed him. Vapian, who
sank almost instantly, was just going
down for the second time when the
gallant ensign rescued him. Speers
was rescued by the other men.
The gallant rescue, which was wit
nesser by officers and men of the ships
in that vicinity, ELECTED hearty cheers
and praise for the rescuers. Ensign
Gherardi, who is modest young Off
Ger, came in for a special share of
recommendation. When attached to the
Maine last February, in a storm off
the Carolina coast, Ensign Gherardi
saved the life of a drowning sailor
under the most perilous circumstances.
For this act of heroism he received
honorable mention from his superior
officers and also from the navy de-
partment. He was also the recipient
of a medal from New York Life Saw
ing association.

best means of carrying out the terms

On all sides the strongest feelings of

Several sessions will have TO be held

Lehigh University in Want-Asa Par
ker's Money Gone.
New York. July pa special to the
Herald from Bethlehem, Pa, says:
Unless Governor Hastings signs the
bill which is now in his hands grant
ing Lehigh university the sum of $780,
600 from the state treasury for the pur-
pose of paying its running expenses,
the institution will be forced to close
its doors.
This announcement 4ls caused as
constituent throughout the state as it
has always been believed that the en-
dowment fund left by Asa Parker
was amply sufficient for the support
of the university.
Behind the troubles of Lehigh is the
story of a great fortune amassed by
Asa Parker, man who started at the
foot of the ladder, devoted by him to
noble uses, and allowed to slip through
the fingers of the men to whom he in
trusted its administration.
How much of what Asa Parker left
still remains in the hands of his trus-
tees only the trustees themselves can
tell; but his railroad to which he devo-
ted his life, has passed to other hands
and the charities upheld by his boun-
ty and crippled and must cease unless
the state steps in to assist them.

Sherman and Salisbury Still Being
Discussed in the Metropolis.
New York, July 23.-The Morning
Post continues to keep its columns
open for correspondence on the SUBJ
ject of the alleged desire of Americans
to provoke quarrel with England.
One correspondent says today:
Much continues to be said and
written about the friendliness of the
Best Americans but be they few or
be they many, we only seem to hear
of the few whose highest interest and
aim is to conclude matrimonial alli-
ances with the English aristocracy,
because it is the finest in the world.
Why, in times like these are the rep
resentatives of the Knickerbockers in
New York, the Cavaliers in Virginia
and the Puritans in New England
dumb?"
Another correspondent thinks it is
high time Lord Salisbury's reply to
Secretary Sherman was published and
says:
''It is devoutly to be hoped that ne
gotiations will not be resumed until
the Paris award has been paid" and
The country is momentarily expect
ing news that powerful British fleet
has arrived in Canadian waters"
Another correspondent suggests:

peace throughout the United States"

vised by a small committee, say Mr..

Of them married Americans; or if their

BRAZILIAN REBELS ROUTED.

New York, July pa dispatch to the
Herald from Rio de ,JaDeiro, Brazil,
says: The city of Canudos has been
again captured by the government
troops after the city had been totally
destroyed by the heavy guns of the
army.
The recapture of the city was the
result of a bayonet charge on the fam
atics after practically every building
in the city had been laid low by heavy
shells. The fanatics resisted the
frightful bayonet charge for only
few minutes, then fled in all directions,
leaving scores of dead and wounded
behind. The hand-to-hand fighting
was terrific for few minutes.
After their flight from Canudos the
rebels took refuge in the forests sew
eral miles away, where they probably
win be again attacked by the govern
ment forces.

The notorious Forger Passes In His
Checks.
Chicago, July 23.-News is received
here of the death of Charles A. Ket-
chum, alias Kalston, alias Dick Will
son, in the Michigan City penitentiary,
by the bursting of a blood vessel.
Ketchum was we'll known in this city
as a forger and confidence man. He
was only fourteen years old when ne
commenced his criminal career in
Louisville.
In 1892 he was engaged as an ex-
press messenger by the Adams Ex-
press company, his run being from
Cincinnati to Nashville. In November
he is said to have robbed the company
of $4,000 by substituting brown paper
for money.
Returning to Chicago he committed
many forgeries in the Maxwell street
police district and the police of that
station still carry warrants for him
for passing bogus checks on various
retail dealers. When he learned the
detectives are searching for him he
left Chicago and went to Indianapolis
where he robbed a jeweler of a tray of
diamonds. For this he was sentenced
to five years in the Michigan City pen
itentiary. Before Ketchuin died he is
said to have made complete confess
sion of his criminal career to Deputy
Warden A. w. Sutton.
