RAILROAD TO YUKON.
The Rothschi1ds Said to be at the
Head of the Project.

JUNEAU (Alaska), March l (via Port
Townsend. March 4.-That the Roths-
childs will attempt TO build railroad
TO the Yukon is now believed Ger

arrived here last night, landed part
of over forty men and equipments Tor

engineer in charge of the party AMI OF
the construction, Immediately ordered
the men to locate and build houses upon
the lands near the cannery. Lumber
was taken along for the purpose. This
move is made toEhold the townsite. The
place had been surveyed in January,
and a plan of the district was submit
ted at that time to the Surveyor Cen
e-al of Alaska. There was filed notice
that a grant from the United States
was wanted for a railroad terminal.
trading post and factory, for a right
of way. for a railway over the Dalton
trail
These transactions were all accom-
plished in the name OF II. Rratnober,
who Is known to the mining expert and
mineral purchasing agent of the Roths-
childs, and who a few weeks ago left
for London TO consult with the Roths-
childs and 10 arrange with the Canadi-
an Government for the privilege Of
crossing their territory.
Mr.. Onderdonk reports that the grades
are several per cent less on the Dalton
trail than on the Canadian Pacific. and
that the climatic difficulties are no more
difficult to overcome.
1t is said here by those who accom-
panied Bratnober on his expedition to
the interior that he thinks that in sew
eral places where excavations for road
beds are necessary enough low grade
ore will be loosened TO finance many
miles OF construction.
Twenty or thirty employees of the
Treadwell Company who have learned
of the objects of the expedition have
chartered a tug and scow. and viii

EXTERNAL ORIGIN.
The Maine Was Not Wrecked by an
Explosion on the Inside.

CLEVELAND (O), March 4.-Dr. II.
F. Biggar, one of the most prominent
physicians and surgeons of Cleveland,
has just returned from Key West
where lie was in the midst of the ex
citeinent which followed the blowing
UP of the battleship Maine. and con-
versed with several of those who were
on the ill-fated ship at the time of the
disaster. He found that all of those
who " ere willing to discuss the matter
at all were convinced that the explo
sion bad been caused by an outside
force. probably a torpedo.
The officers We're very reticent, but
from their manner it seemed that they
had no doubt as to the origin of the
trouble said DR.. Biggar. Some of
the 'middies' and sailors We're more
outspoken. and did not hesitate to say
that the work had been done by tor
pedo. They offered several reasons for
this belief, all of which seemed to just
ify them in thinking as they did For
instance, the mast was lifted right cut
of it's place in the vessel, and the men
were sure that this could only have
been done by force from underneath.
If the explosion had been on the inside
they argued. the mast would have been
shattered and thrown sideways
The bow of the Maine was split Just
as if wedge had been driven at the bot
tom o. the boat on the outside, and the
hull was bent forward as if by an ex-
ternal force applied directly under ii.
The diver of the Maine, Martin Rior-
dan was also at Key West. He was de-
cidedly of the opinion that the Maine
was tampered With on the outside
was told that shortly before the explo-
sion ripple was noticed in the water
as If some smaller craft We're moving
around the Maine No particular atten-
ton was paid to this at the time, but it is
remembered now"

TLANNELLY MURDER TRIAL.
The Deceased's Partner ON the Wit
ness Stand.

SAN JOSE, March 4.-When Thomas
Flannelly's trial was resumed this
morning the jurors asked that the
court stenographer read the testimony
of Mrs. Patrick Flannelly, which yaA
given yesterday afternoon. The poor
woman was so weak and grief-stricken
that she could speak but little above
whisper. This reading occupied some
time, and the only witness put on this
morning was Dan Doyle, the partner of
the defendant in the dairy ranch.
Doyle said that Flannelly told him on
October 18th that his father had noti-
fed him that they must pay him rent.
October 26th,. in the evening, just before
the killing Doyle said a Constable
served notice on them to vacate the
ranch. He did not remember anything
he said to the Constable except that he
invited him in to have tea
So far of course, all the testimony is
for the people. In this case, however,
the defense brought out that Patrick
Flannelly had owned pistol and was
in the habit of keeping it under the
head of his bed. This little comfort is
all Ih4y have had.
In the afternoon the examination OF
Doyle was resumed. He testified that
F'lannelly told him he had a pistol be-
fore he left the ranch to go to see his
father, and that the defendant, while
angry with the Constable for serving
the papers, showed no ill-feeling toward
his father.
DR.. James Crow, Coroner of San Ma
teo County, was the next witness. He
arrived at Flannelly seniors house 1if-
teen or twenty minutes after the shoot
ing, and found the old man lying dead
acruks the middle of the bed, with his
feet on. or near the floor. Witness also
said that he found a pistol under the
top mattress, with all the chambers
loaded
At o'clock the trial was adjourned
