over my plans with the famous Jack
Dalton, and they met with his hearty
approval.
''As to ny trip, my intention is to
ship from Seattle or Victoria, take the
SkagSuay trail. which is all right in
winter-the best, in fact-to the lakes,
thence across the lakes to the foot of
Lake Marsh or OH to the foot of Lake
La Barge, if found best on reaching
Lake Marsh; there build three scows
and follow the breaking up of the ice
down the rivers. Instead Of making the
error many will Of repacking over the
trail to the lakes or paying exorbitant
packers prices intend to stand the ex-
pense OF taking enough horses and
sleighs-about 3O-to go with the
whole outfit over the trail and lake ice
at one packing and then, returning with
the horses to Skagguay or Taiya, sell
them at a profit if not too late; if too
late, then butcher the horses, semidry

RIOT In PRISON.
Bid Attempt Of Two Ohio Convicts to Ea

Bid Attempt Of Two Ohio Convicts to Ea
cape From the Penitentiary.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 19.-There was
desperate attempt made by two con.
victs to escape from the penitentiary
about 8 o'clock a. m., as q result of
which Guard Charles d. I.auterbach Of
Mount Vernon was shot and killed,
while Convicts O'Neill and Atkinson re-
ceived injuries of serious nature and
both are now in the prison hospital. By
some means Convicts O'Neill and At
kinson, who are serving Is years for
robbery, obtained possession of revol.
yer and proceeded to carry ont bold
plan to escape. One covered his face
with handkerchief and went into the
broom shop, where he held up Guard
Lime and took his revolver. He then
returned to the shoe shop where the
other man joined him, and they opened
fire upon Guard Lauterbach, who was
in charge Of that department.
Guard Was Killed.
The guard was shot three times and
almost instantly killed. The sound of
the shooting reached the other officials
in the prison and they came on the run
to investigate. Guard Gump was first
on the scene, and taking in the situation
at glance, opened fire on the two pris-
Oners. This was returned and regular
battle was i'll progress until the revol-
vers of all participants We're emptied.
In the fray Convict Atkinson was shot
down and seriously injured, and as soon
AS the guns We're emptied Guard Gump
rushed in with his cane and almost beat
ONeil to death before the pris-
oner would surrender. The men Were
taken to the hospital, where their in
juries We're attended to. Atkinson
was shot in the body, but is not thought
to be seriously hurt, but O'Neill was So
beat about the head that his injuries
may result fatally. The other prisoners
i'll the shop where the shooting occurred
took no part III the atfray. but it is un-
derstOod that they stood ready to follow
it the efforts of the two leaders proved
successful. Previous to making the
outbreak one Of the two prisoners forced
a third man to place a ladder against the
outside OF the penitentiary wall. SO that
when they had fought their way out oi
the shCls they could shoot down the
wall guard and make their escape b,
that route.

CANAL COMMISSIONERS
NOT QUITE READY WITH THEIR
REPORT
No Difference Of Opinion Among the
Members Except as to Estimate
of Cost

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. - Admiral
Walker, chairman of the Nicaraguan Canal
Commission, when questioned today as to
the time when the report Of the commission
would be sent to Congress, said that the
time could not be stated definitely as the re-
port had not been signed nor entirely COM
peted. He presumed, however, that it
would be ready within the next very few
days. In answer to further inquiries the
Admiral said that there were no differences
of opinion among the members of the COM
mission except possibly on the question of
cost, and that difference might be adjusted
so that the report would be unanimous on
all points.
Owing to the illness of Mr. Haines during
the last ten days, practically nothing had
been done, but now that the commission was
together again, a conclusion on this and
other points might be expected soon. Some
months ago Admiral Walker stated to a
committee OF Congress that in his Judgment
the canal would not cost more than $685.
1000. Another member of the commission
fixed the maximum at $l40000,000 but
stated that it might cost considerably less
and it had been the opinion of the third
member of the commission that the canal
would not cost more than 100000, 700. All
were agreed, however, that these figures
were and could be only approxmating.
There were too many conscientious and
contingencies that might change the result
materially. An epidemic of cholera or fever
might lay off half the working force, ac-
cidents to machinery or possibly earth
quakes might damage the work in course
of construction, and, while nonc of those
were likely to happen, yet they were among
the possibilities and in estimating the cost
OF the work a reasonable provision had
been made for accidents of various kinds.
All members of the commission, he said,
are agreed that the construction of the canal
on the route proposed, is entirely feasible
and should be prosecuted with all possible
expedition.

MUST SINK OR BURN
The Steamer Lakms Carrying Cargo
of Fire

ASTORIA, Dec. 26.-The steam schooner
I.akme, Capt. Klitgaard, arrived in port this
morning from Seattle with fire in her hold
and is now lying at the wharf of the West
Shore Mills company. The Lakme carries
1000 barrels of lime and the exact location
of the fire cannot yet be determined. The
fire was discovered about IL o'clock when the
steamer was off the Columbia river. She
left Seattle early Saturday morning and
carried deck load of 10000 feet of lumber
in addition to fifty tons of coal in her bunk
ers. The Lakme is bound for San Pedro and
was about thirty miles off the coast Satur-
day night when smoke was discovered issu.
ing from her forward bulkhead. After
short examination of the cargo, Captain
Kiltgaard was satisfied that the lime was on
fire. The Lakme was headed for the Column
bia river and although dense fog prevailed
she steamed into harbor without mishap.
Steam from the boilers was forced into the
hold as soon as the fire was discovered and
it is believed has had the effect of holding
the fire in check. A force of stevedores was
put to work this morning removing the
deck load of lumber and when that is done
an examination will be made to determine
the extent of the fire if possible. Several
who have examined the Lakme state that
the steamer will have to be scuttled before
the fire can be subdued.

RoENTaEN RAYS IN COMMERCE.
Now Used to Examine the Interanl
Structure of Metals

The X-rays are fast becoming useful serv.
ants to society. Not content with making
use of them for surgical purposes as a
means of locating the position of such for
eign substances as a bullet or needle in the
human body, scientists have impressed the
rays into service for the purpose of examin-
ing the internal structure of metals and al
loys A thin section of the metal is cut out
and photograph taken by means of the
rays; if the metal is homogeneous it is
shown to be so by the photograph obtained.
If, however, an impurity is present, or the
section is that of an alloy, the photograph
is not uniform, but betrays the presence Of
minute crystals formed within the mass of
solid metal.
A specially striking case is that of an alloy
Of metallic sodium with gold. On throwing
such an alloy into alcohol the sodium is
dissolved away, and crystalline needles, one
eighth of an inch in length, of pure metallic
gold are left. 1t would seem that just as
crystals of common salt are separate when a
hot solution of the latter in water is cooled,
gold dissolves in melted sodium and sep
arates in crystals when the latter is cooled,
and the alloy solidifes That the new meth
cd of using the X-rays is likely to lead to
important results in the study of metals is
evident when we consider the light it is
capable of throwing on the influence of
small quantities of impurities on the COM
mercial value Of metals.
1t is well known that submarine cable
made from pure copper Of today will carry
double as many messages in given time as
a cable manufactured forty years ago, when
special precautions were not taken to ex-
clude small amounts of imprity from the
copper. Time is money in telegraphy, and
the additional care taken to remove the
traces of impurity from the copper is repaid
many times over by the increased capability
OF the cable for transmitting messages.
The presence in copper as an impurity of
thousandth part of its weight of the metal
bismuth renders it absolutely useless for

A Steamer in Trouble

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-The steam
er San Mateo, which arrived here today,
reports having passed the steam schooner
Alcatraz off Point Conception, drifting in
southerly direction and beyond the control
of her crew, owing to the fact that her
shaft had broken shortly after she cleared
the Golden Gate. The Alcatraz left here
December "a for Mendocino, but barely
cleared the heads when her shaft broke and
wind and sea carried her along the coast
southward. When seen by the Mateo she
had drifted several hundred miles from the
point of her breaking down. As soon as
the San Mateo's report was received the
steam schooner Alcazar was ordered from
Port Los Angeles to go to the assistance Of
the Alcatraz. LATHE fear is entertained
for the safety Of the vessel.

Murdered for Money

CLEVELAND, Dec. 26.-James Chittock,
an old man, who for years had operated an
electric battery machine on the street cor.
ners, was found dead in bed in his room in a
block at No. 1872 Ontario street this morning.
On his head were three ugly bruises, which
looked as though they had been caused by
blows with club. Chittock lived alone and
was supposed to have money, as he was al
ways well dressed, was temperate and fru-
gal and constantly at his business. He had
not been seen since Saturday and the door
of his room was broken open this morning
The only valuables found in the room were
a watch and SIS in cash. The coroner believes
he was killed for robbery, and detectives are
at work on the case.

A Horrible Crime

CLEVELAND. O., Dec. 26.-Mrs. Win
ME Hearney, agedj2 % years, was found badr
Ny burned last evening at her home in, the
Her bed was partly burned. She now lies
in st. Johns hospital at the point of death.
The cause of the fire was given by the wo-
man and her husband, Joseph Hearney, a
laborer, as the explosion of lamp. At an
early hour this morning, however, the police
obtained from the daughter of the couple
the statement that Hearney came home in
toxicated, and because his wife would not
get OUT Of bed and cook him meal he soaked
some rags in coal oil, lighted and threw
them on her bed. The police placed Hear
ney under arrest.
