KILLED BY A CHILD.
Peculiar Atonement for Murder
Among the Alaska Indians.

Washington, March 22.-Secretary
Bliss today made public an interesting
letter from John B. Brady from Alas
ka containing the observations made
by him, while on his annual trip of in
spectiOn to the various points on the
coast aboard the United States snip
canal the governor says the officers of
the ship saw a piece of Wreckage which
was afterward ascertained to be part
of the Inflated steamer Clara Nevada,
of whose crew or passengers, not one
was left to tell the tale.
Special attention, the executive says,
should be paid to vessels navigating the
Yukon, the travel on which is so large
that the tendency is to take great risk.
The Wheeling after leaving Dyea
called at the village at the north OF
Chicago island, called Hoonah. Here
one of the leading men of the village
had been killed by child six years of
age. A body of 200 men thoroughly
armed went to a native village near
KillisnoO at which place the child's
mother and her people belonged and
compelled them to turn over many
blankets, trunks and money.
From this point the Wheeling pro-
ceeded to Kakutat, whereupon investi-
cation, it was found that nearly eV-
everything that had been reported to the
navy department regarding the cOndi-
ton of affairs there was correct. The
governor has considerable to say about
the practice of witchery which seems
to exist to a considerable extent in that
part OF the country lie tells OF a man
and two women who were tied up for
bewitching a man. On the ninth day
the bound man was released and as he
had had nothing to eat and but a few
drinks of water. he was in a fearful
physical condition. The governor
spent more time talking to these people
and after explaining the laws of the
United States told them that in the fu-
ture he would not deal lenIently with
those who had practiced Witchcraft.
Capt. Sebree of the Wheeling had his
men practice with the guns of the YES
sci as a useful object lesson to the ma
tives. There were about a dozen min
ers at Yakutat waiting to proceed to
the head of Disinchantment bay.
Thence they were to cross over the
glacier to the Olesek river where they
intended. to prospect and afterwards
proceed to the White river and get back
to the st. Elias range of mountains.
The Wheeling returned to Sitka- Her
cruise, in the governors opinion, had
done a great good to the natives, as
they dreaded a gunbOat more than any
thing else. He says he is convinced it
is time to take the natives vigorously
in hand and break up their witchcraft,
distilling of rum and manufacturing of
beer and compel them to conform to
our laws in all respects. The native
who commits murder or any crime on
another native does not escape with the
punishment that this government meets
under the tribal customs. The governor
continues by saying that if backed up
by the good will and force of the navy
department, he feels he can do much to
eradicate existing conditions during his
term of office.

1T SPOlLS THINGS.
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific
Pool Stops Big Improve
ments at San Diego.

San Diego, Cal, March 22.-One of the
most important results of the alleged pool
between the Santa Fe and Southern Pa
cific railways is the prospective cessation
system, designed to supply water to this
city, as we'll as to one hundred thousand
acres of land tributary to the bay region.
There are other reasons advanced by
President E. S. Babcock of the company
for stopping further development but the
alleged combination between the ratlrOa ds
and the alleged discrimination against
San Diego by the Santa Fe is the chief
cause he assigns for requesting the city
council to release his company from the
fulfillment of its contract. Over half a
million dollars have already been eXpend-
ed on the work.

PROPHECY FULFILLED.
Peculiar circumstances Surrounding
Death of Chief Justice HarIan's Aunt.

Death of Chief Justice Harlan's Aunt.
Louisville, Ky, March 22.-Mrs. Sarah
Ann Van Arsdale, last surviving aunt
Of Justice Harlan, of the United States
supreme court, was buried from St
Andrews Episcopal church yesterday
afternoon
She died Friday, and Spiritualists are
talking of a prophecy which they claim
was fulfilled
Mrs. Van ArsdaIe lived at 1924 Flovd
street with her daughter, Mrs T. H
Fleming. Last Sunday night Mrs Elem
ing attended a SpirituaIist seance. Mrs.
Claman was the medium, and claimed
that the spirit of her brother-in-law.
John Claman, took possession of her
body and faculties while she went into
q trance, and through her spoke to his
audience.
While talking at random last Sunday
night the medium suddenly stopped and
the alleged voice of John Claman said:
There is a brother spirit standing
near me, and wants to deliver a mes
sage to some one in the audience. ne
says: Bette, do not worry; in a short
time I viii claim the spirit OF my COM
panion on this earth. My name is John
Nan Arsdale' -
Mrs. Fleming presumed that it was
the spirit of her father, and was much
affected. She finally left the hall and
in an interview said that she had
known Mrs. Claman a short time but
did not think that she knew that her
first name was Bette, or that her faith
er was dead or anything about her
mothers illness.

by society women and millinery work

latest novelty resorted to by Jersey
City churches to raise funds for mis-
siOnS.
The members of the Emory Episcopal
church in Belmont avenue, Jersey City.
tried it last night, much to the delight
of a grinning crowd of spectators, who
paid twenty-five cents each to see the
exhibition.
The young women rolled up their
sleeves and rested their left knees on
the logs in genuine man fashion and
made desperate efforts for half an hour
to get their saws through refractory
logs. The entertainment netted $50.

WILL REFUSE TO RUN.
Georgia Populist Nominees Will Fol-

Augusta, Ga, March 22.-One of Tom
Watson's most intimate friends today
made the statement that Watson tele-
graphed to the chairman of the Populist
convention here last week, positively
declining nomination as gubernatorial
candidate.
This action has infected other candi-
dates, and w. B. Hill, named as su-
preme court candidate, and several mi
nor nominees, have announced their
intention of refusing the honor when
formally presented to them, and of tax
ing no part in the campaign.
Watson prefers the enjoyment of his
income of $4,000 from his property and
law practice to the precarious emOlu-
ments of politics.
