American OfciaI FOrcibIy Takes a
Prisoner From Canadian Author

CHICAGO, Sept. GA special from
Victoria, B. c., says: Klondikers, who
arrived on the steamer Amur, tell Of
the rescue Of Arthur Perry, a Seattle
man, accused of stealing $175 from
Alexander Mcdonald, an officer Of
the Northwest mounted police, by Col
bector of Customs Ivey. The affair has
caused great excitement at Dawson
City, and may develop into an interna-
tional affair.
According to the miners, Perry mort
gagged a claim belonging to Mcdonald.
Mcdonald sWOre out a complaint
against him, and the police went to
arrest Perry. Perry, however, had fled
down the river. An officer was dis
patched after him, despite the fact that
he was in American territory The off,
Ger overlook and arrested Perry, who
had $4,000 in dust. At NolatO, when
the Columbian came up, the officer and
his prisoner took passage on her to
Dawson. When the Columbian reach
ed Eagle City, Collector Ivey went
aboard and demanded the prisoner and
the money. The officer demurred, when
Ivey drew a revolver and threatened
to shoot unless the prisoner was given
up. Finally Ivey pushed the officer
aside and took the prisoner and money
giving the officer a receipt for
the prisoner and money, except
as to the amount. Upon the
affair being reported at Dawson City,
Crown Prosecutor Wade and a detach-
ment Of police took passage on the
steamer to go to Eagle City and
retake him at all costs. The captain
and officers Of the Columbian have all
made affidavits as to how the prisoner
was secured. There is much discussion
over the matter, and a full report has
been sent to Ottawa
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept g.
Capt John McCafferty, ex-collector OF
customs for Alaska, and q mining en-
gineer by profession, has arrived here
from Dawson City. His summing up
of his experience is that the gold placer
diggiEgs of Alaska are short-lived, and
that there are no true fisSure veins in
that territory, because the country is
too much broken up, and because the
geological indications are such as to
warrant the conviction that there Is
70 gold-bearing quartz in the place.
Large broken deposits of gold or
bonanzas, may be found there, but they
will be of the nature of pockets and
will not last. The most surprising opin-
ion expressed by him is that the placer

MAKE A FINE DISPLAY.
dOws Again ArtisticaIIy DecOrat-
ed for the State Fnir Week.

ed for the State Fnir Week.
Among the many attractive features
of the state fair year after year none
rank higher than the window displays
and street parades of S. e. Olson Co. s
Big Store. The feature which attracts
the most attention this year is the
beautiful electric flag over the Fifth
street entrance.
AS the main entrance Is on Fifth
street, it is here that the most beau
tiful window displays are to be seen.
In the window nearest Nicollet avenue
is a display Of the latest fall dress fab
rics, above and at the rear of which is
a weird-looking castle. This is called
the Mystic castle, and 1t is an ever re-
naming mystery to know how the fair
woman gets in and out. The next is
also a dress goods window, and here
is a beautiful sparkling cobWeb, In
which can be seen a dark-haired prin-
cess. After she is once In 1t, 1t is I'M
possible to tell how she came there.
The next window is given over to
cloaks and fur wraps, and here IS a
pensive maiden, or rather half a
maiden, in gorgeous yellow plush al
cove But she is only possessed of a
head and bust, though she moves and
casts many dreamy chances at her adj
mirers. She is given resting time &C.
casionally, and then there remains
nothing but the table and the cluster
Of electric lights.
The next window is filed with dainty
creations in fall millinery, in the GEN.
ter Of which is a large vase of red
red roses. Up from this at stated in
tervals arises a maidens head and
shoulders. She is a glowing brunette
and is dressed in black with a large
black picture hat on her head. She,
like the lady in yellow. is very much
alive though where the rest Of her
body is is a mystery. The fifth win
dow contains a very realistic repre-
sentation of the lagoon in front Of the
administration building at the worlds
fair. The next window contains a
mimic United States cruiser Minneap-
oils.
The interior of the store is in every
way on a par with the windows, each
department vieing with the others to
excel. The millinery department is one
Of the most attractive, at least to the
gentler sex, and here can be seen the
many different styles Of hats and bon
nets which the Minneapolis women
will wear this coming season.
Mr.. Olson is noted for providing
amusement for the crowds, and this
year it will be In the shape of a large
band, which will play in the band
stand at the top Of the arch now be-
ing erected on Fifth street. The mu-
Sicians will be heard every morning
from 8 to 10, and Thursday, Friday
and Saturday nights from to 8
o'clock.

REMOVING THE PRESSURE.
Government Ende0vOrs TO Facilitate
Cuban and Porto Rican Business.

GOVernus ent EzlGeQV0ES DO Facilitate
Cuban and Porto Rican Business,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The government
is doing what it can to facilitate the opera
ton of trade in the Cuban and Porto Rican
ports that come under the possession of the
United States forces. The department has
been advised by representatives Of large COM
mercial houses in New York that bonded
warehouses are badly needed at Santiago
and that the absence Of these facilities is do
ing much to prevent commerce from resum-
Ing its normal channels, and is imposing
loss upon American trade.
these complaints to the secretary Of the in
arrangements as to Cuba are merely tenta-
tive, and do not lock to the immediate res
toration of commerce to its natural channel
Tho establishment of bonded warehouses
would entail the preparation Of an elaborate
system Of counting and supervision, which
Is quite impractical under present conditions
AS to the unequal requirements at the sew
eral ports it may be said that no long inter-
val Of time will apparently interfere with har-
montous regulations the ports pass sue
cessively under control Of the American
forces
The secretary says that relief may be had
under article IA, Of the customs regulations,
and continuing, says that as to the goods
on the piers at Santiago, he would suggest
that, if compatible with the safety of rev.
enues. the owners be allowed to export them
with benefit of the refund Of the duties paid
provided the goods can be identified prop
erly.

A private telegram was received in
ST. Paul from Washington yesterday
saying that a movement was on foot
TO have the Fourteenth regiment mus
tered out at Duluth, and the Twelfth
regiment mustered out at New Ulm.
1t was said that Congressman Nc
Cleary was giving the New Ulm propO-
sition his support and that Congress-
man Morris was looking after The
proposition concerning the Fourteenth.
1t was further said that if Gov.
Coughs consent could be secured that
the plans would be successful.
The report caused comment, but 1t
was not thought that the governor
would give his approval to any such
move. Every regiment, so far as
known, has been ordered mustered out
at the point at which it was mustered
in, and why the same course should
not be followed in Minnesota could not
be understood. OF course New Ulm is
the home Of Col. Bobleter, but, If that
We're the reason why the mastering out
OF his regiment was sought for New
Ulm, the same reason would not apply
to the Fourteenth. The people of the
Twin Cities, it was remarked, would
not see any such innovation without q
protest. The regiments were all mus
tered into the service in the Twin
Cities, and consequently 1t is held
should be mustered out at the same
point The people of these cities want
TO be the ones to welcome the boys
back, as they were the ones to bid
them G0dspeed
In connection with the report, it was
conjectUred by some whether or not
the Omaha railroad people were not
back Ct it all. They expect to bring
tie regiments to Minnesota and would
n az
Clm and Duluth.
If GOV. Clough gives his consent to
the proposition, it may seem to come of
the very cordial treatment that was
given the governor and his staff by the
Omaha. He's a good fellow and he
wants 10 reciDrOcate. The Omaha can
take the Twelfth to New Ulm without
a change Of cars and can do the same
by the Fourteenth, if it is sent to Du-
luth."
The gentleman had his view of it, of
course, but most of the men about the
hotels who claim st. Paul as their
home thought that no change would
be Q. KID by Gov. Clough.
The majority of the men of the two
regiments will be no nearer home for
being mustered out at New Ulm and
Duluth. They come from the sections
Of the state in which those towns are
located, but the railroad facilities are
Sucn That they would, as a general
thing, he much nearer home in st. PAU
than in the towns mentioned. The
troops will be sent to the mastering
out points and then given furlougns
for thirty days. From the standpoint
of convenience the capital city would
be the most advantageous point at
which to disband as it was to reu-
devious. From the sentimental point
Of view the capital city would be the
only point at which to part the COM
rades in arms.
