RUDOLPH NEUMANN DEAD.

The Popular General Agent of the
Alaska Commercial Company
Falls Down a Shaft.
The steamer Portland which ar
rived in San Francisco on October
30th, had on board the remains OF
the late Rudolph Neumann. The
deceased was one Of the best known
aud best liked men in Alaska.
"Mr Neumann's death was very
tragic one," said j. Homer Fritch,
the well-known coal man, who was
passenger by the Portland from st.
Michael "He was the general agent
for the company throughout Alaska,
and after settling up his business
for the year at Unalaska went over
to Unga on the schooner Pearl to
wind up affairs there. In company
with Il. @. Mayor, superintendent
Of the Apollo mine, he. was going
over the company's property.
ga new vein had been struck in
the Sitka niue and Mayor and Neu-
mann we're going down the shaft to
inspect it, At the 100foot level
both men got out OF the bucket and
were standing on a platform, Mr..
Neumann holding on to one Of the
uprights. Mr.. Neumann made some
remark about the darkness, and Mr..
Mayor asked him, Can you seeT
yes, Pm all right was the answer,
but the next instant he got dizzy
and went crashing to the bottom OF
the shaft 200 feet below. How
Superintendent Mayor got out Of
the mine he does not know, but he
succeeded somehow and sent party
OF miners down after the body 1t
was brought to the surface and
embalmed by the doctor on the ISL
and and sent to San Francisco for

The Indians were broken hearted
over the death of Mr.. Neumann. He
was like father to them, and they
were still weeping for him when we
left the island"
Leopold Neumann, the we'll known
dentist, was brother OF the deceas.
ed, and Paul Neumann, Attorney
General of Hawaii under the mon.
archy, was his uncle. The Messrs.
Sloss, Neumann and a host OF the
deceased's friends were down at the
wharf to meet him, only to be con.
fronted by the Portland with her
flag at half mast.
Rudolph Neumann first went to
Alaska in 1873 in the schooner
Eustsce with Captain Blair. He
became the Alaska Commercial
Company's agent at St. Michael in
that year, but when Alfred Green
baum retired he became general
agent for the concern with head
quarters at Unalaska.

the PRESIDENTS POWER.

Recent events have brought out promi-
nently for public consideration once more
the remarkable powers which are conferred
upon the president of the United States,
making him, as has often been said.
stronger as an executive than almast any
constitutional monarch in Europe
The only check upon the exercise of his
authority TO fill all the offices In the
government and to make treaties with for
eign nations. is the senate. The fact that
under our popular elections the congress
is generally in sympathy with the president
and that craftsmanship controls congress.
practically gives the executive absolute
power within the bounds OF the eonstitu-
ton. He can reward his friends and pun
ish his opponents, within or without his
party, to such an extent that he can vir-
tually control congress. He can both Sc
lect and dismiss his constitutional advis-
ers or heads of departments, aud Is the
