The Drevfus case at Paris had a
| fresh victim in an artist whose heao
has been literally turned by excitement
and who jumped out of a high window
under the delusion that Major Ester
hazy and the police were coming to
arrest him. Ever since the beginning
of the Zola trial this hapless individual
has made himself conspicuous by the
extreme violence with which he dis
cussed the proceeding at the assizes.
He never tired of defending Ester
hazy Upon one occasion he narrowly
ESCAPED being arrested for creating a
| disturbance in the street. AS Zoia
trial neared the conclusion the artist
grew worse. and finally so identified
himself with the troubles of Esterhazy
that he came to confuse his own iden-
tity with his hero's. He thought he
was Esterhazy, and that everybody
around him was conspiring to bring
about his downfall.
E. r. Knapp of Boston. Mass, who
arrived at Seattle from Skagway, au-
thoriZes the statement that the Cana

fore been considered American terri
tory. Mr.. Knapp's authority for the
statement is the foreman Of the Hum
ber Transportation company. He re-
ported the affair TO Mr.. Knapp, who
is connected with the company, Just
before the latter left Skagway. In ref
srence to the report that martial law
had been proclaimed at Skagway, Mr..
Knapp said that when he left no such
actiJn had been taken, neither was it
anticipated. MIR. Knapp also said that
the reports of deaths at Taiya. Skag-
way and on the trails. had been very
| much exaggerated. He had made a
personal examination and ascertained
that since November there had been
nineteen deaths at Skagway and thir-
teen at Tailya. This is not at all
large. considering the population at
the two places.
