Situation in Alaska.

Seattle, WASH, JAN 4.-Forty five
Alondikers arrived here last night on the
steamer Corona, from Dyea and Skag-
uay. They brought no late news ms all
OF them left Dawson previous to Novem-

they confirm the stories of last weeks
arrivals that there will be no famine this
winter, although provisions are scarce

think. to send supplies in the early
spring, as the stock on baud will be
pretty well exhausted by the time the
Yukon opens for nav CATION.
The returned Klondikers say that the
weather at Dawson is extremely cold, the
thermometer ranging fIom fifty to sew
ensy degrees below zero. The ice along
the river is piled up as high as fifteen
feet, and ouly the best dog teams can get
over it. Many outfits which started down
IN boats were met along the river frozen,
frozen in, where they will have to remain
until the Ice goes out A party of
mounted police. with sixteen horses and
twenty tons of provisions, were met at
Bennett Lake, on the way down to Big
Salmon, where Major Walsh is waiting
for them.
The town council of 'Skaguay has
adopted get of resolutions PROTESTING
against the adjustment of the SUPPORT OF
Dyea. The resolutions set forth that the
duty collected since the establishment OF
the port amounted to $780, and the rev.
enue. to be derived the next twelve months
will probably exceed $4,000. People are
pouring into Skaguay and Dyea on every
steamer. Hotels and lodging houses are
taxed to their full capacity. II the influx
continues at the present rate, accommo-
dations will.be out of the question within
two eeks, it is feared.

Carrull's loom was packed with nuggets

there was considerably more carefully

there was about $1,000, 600 in wealth

acceptance of the appointment as a mem
Der of the commission to secure the erection

THE BELL ESTATE
A New Sensation Caused by Mis-
Management of Funds

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20-Another
sensation has been added to the many that
have occurred in connection with the
Thomas Bell estate since the millionaire
met violent death In the "house Of mys-
terry" at the corner of Octavia and Bush
streets six years ago.
Attorney William II. Schooler filed in the
superior court today a petition of a start
ling nature, asking for the removal OF
George Stacks as executor of the will of
Thomas Bell. The petition alleges that
Executors Stacks and John C. Maxwell
have been mismanaging the estate, so that
1t is dwndling rapidly. They are also
charged with incorporation Of money
in defiance of the order of the court and
with making false returns to the court as
executors.
Attorney schooler filed the petition on
behalf of all the heirs.
The estate of Thomas Bell was appraised
at 1892, 0SS.9O. The executors report UP
to December 81, 1897, showed that they re-
ceived 1926. 29956 and expended 1926, 425 81
The petition sets forth that the executors
in one instance failed to account in the
Inventory and appraisement Of personal
property of the deceased for $19S, $50 worth
Of stocks, bonds, etc. :" s''s'f't'
The chief accusation lies in that part of
the petition which relates that in the ex-
hibit returned to the court on September
rs, 1895. no account is made of the Pro-
grese mining company, although the inter-
est of Thomas Bells estate is supposed to
be worth 100000. 1t q said that 1900 men
and 800 mules are employed in working this
mine, which is located III Mexico. There
has never been any loss to the estate by
reason of 1t and the heirs think there Is
something wrong In the matter An agent
has been sent to the mine to investigate
Until short time ago the executors made
not report touching upon this mine, but
lately they reported that dividends to the
amount of 1S,634.7O had been received.

"Bobs"-An All-Around Soldier

In the regular army dismounted ar
tillery are called "Bobs." When he is taken
from the back of hts horse or his seat on
caisson. armed with a rifle and used as
infantry, Bobs is imbued with an unshaka-
Bile belief that his chief purpose on earth
is to show the real infantry how to march.
His rolling but cocky gait, his generally
bowed legs, his usually vague idea Of what
the infantry officer commanding is talk
ing about. the fact that the whole garrison
roars with laughter at his jaunty assur-
ance. only confirms instead OF weakening
Bobs in his belief. which, by the way, is
shared by his. artillery officer. But when
1t comes to lighting as infantry Bobs is
all right. He seems to think that his
30-bore rifle IL 5.2-inch cannon and pro-
ceeds with artillery dash and confidence.
All of which may be part of the explana-
ton of the hurried retreat of the 3OOO Span
iards when battalion of the Third artil-
lery, fighting as infantry, went into &C.
ton at Cavite in support of our men hold
