position nine months he resigned. De Lassier said there was inharmony in the internal workings of the hospital and he thought it best to get out before there was a general miX-up and scan dal Unless one was pet of the ad- ministration there was little chance for favors, and the continual warning among the various factions was disa- greeable. He said Miss Royse was fair ly liked, bore an excellent reputation and performed her duties well. He was there nine months and saw Miss Royse every day and never saw her under the influence of liquor, as intimated by Mrs. Fadden III the yellow journal of San Francisco. If she had indulged in 1t at all he would have heard it from some of the girls or men employed as attendants.
 De Lassier said the Tourtillott- -Madi- gan scandal was common gossip about the institution, and in January last he called Dr. Sponogle's attention to 1t. At that time Dr. Sponogle called De Lassier into the office and reprimanded the corridors. De Lassier asked why he was made an example of when he talked to the young ladies openly, while he (Sponogle) knew Tourtillott and Mrs. Madigan sneaked around in back stairways and talked for hours at a time. In answer 10 tnlS Sponogle said:
 You know how that is; he [meaning Tourtillott1 is Frank H. Gould's bro ther, and you know what position am in"
 De Lassier says Mrs. Williams bore an excellent reputation, and was fa- vorite with the inmates. He knows Bessie Bailey and Ed Herbert. and said their escapade was really the fault Of Dr. Sponogle. Miss Bailey's mania was of a mild nature, and the medical di- rector allowed her to take daily walks with the female attendants. On these occasions Herbert was always along, and allowing these two to come to- gether so much was the means of mak- ing them lovers. Sponogle knew they were together a great deal, because 1t was necessary to secure his permission to take the young lady out.

SEATTLE, July 20-The steamer Lakne. which arrived here to-day from St. Michael brings news that the river steamers Alfred J. Beach and W. H. Evans, which were being lowed to the mouth of the Yukon River are total wrecks. When some 250 miles out from Dixon entrance the Beach hoisted a signal of distress. She soon began to leak badly. Finally her condition be- came so bad that her twenty -four pas sengerS took to the boats. They reached the Evans in safety. In short time the Beach went down.
 The captain of the Noyo then re- turned to Dixon entrance and beached the Evans. By the time he arrived at American Bay she was all but a wreck. The passengers were transferred to the Noyo, which proceeded to St. Michael.
 The Alfred J. Beach was the prop erty of the Alaskan Mutual Trans portation and Mining Association of Chicago and most of the passengers were from Chicago. Their outfits were lost.
 The W. H. Evans carried thirty-fve people.
 Those arriving on the Lakme with the largest amounts of gold were two French-Canadian families named LHeureaux and Ciulleid. They carried two large leather grips filled with dust and nuggets and a strong box contain ing fully 150 pounds. It all aggregated about $500
 J. W. McCreary of Spokane had two sacks of nuggets which weighed s11,- 900. Victor Reux had about s12, ,000. o. O. Decker, a trader, had nearly $20, 000 M. R.

MORE INSIGHT TO
 AGNEWS' CONDITION

SAN JOSE, July 20.-As early as last December Frank H. Gould, that would be apostle of Democracy, had begun to formulate plans to oust Miss Ella Royse from the matronship at Agnews Asylum This was in order to make room for Miss Bambauer, his Merced importation.
 Louis F. H. de Sallier, who was an attendant at the asylum, visited Mr. Gould at his office in San Francisco about Christmas time and asked him to support him for the vacancy that existed in the position of dairyman. De Sallier told him that Trustees Hale and Curnow had promised to work for him. Gould then promised De Sallier he would do what he could to get him a place. Gould asked De Sallier to keep his eyes open and if he saw any crook edness going on to let him know of 1t. He said Miss Bambauer was we'll fitted for the position of matron Inquiry was made as to what kind of a man Berry, carpenter at the asylum, was. De Sallier does not remember distinctly whether Miss Royse's name was men, toned in connection with Miss Bam- bauer, but thinks it was. He concluded from his interview with Gould that if he could secure evidence to bring about Miss Royse's dismissal from her posi- tion as matron he would be made dairyman or something better. De Sal Her told Gould that if he kept his eyes open and reported to him 1t would be the truth regardless of on whose head 1t fell.
 De Sallier was seen at his home at San Martin to-day. He was appointed an attendant at Agnews Asylum through the influence of Trustee Hale on August 1, 1897. After holding the
