THIRD CRICKET MATCH.
Australians Have the Best Of the
All-England Eleven.


LEEDS (England, June 29.-The
third test cricket match between the
visiting Australians and an all England
eleven opened here to-day. The weather
was bright, though the wicket was SOFT
after nights rain, and favorable to
spectators present when the Austral-
ians went to the wicket. Very great in
terest is taken in the present match,
owing to- the poor showing made by the
home team I'M the two previous matches
and the fact that the press and the
cricketers of the whole country have
been showering advice upon the selec-
ton committee regarding the choice of
an eleven, with the result that consid-
cradle ill-feeling has been aroused
among some of the players who have
thought themselves sighted. But the
public cfamor has led to the exclusion
of some of the old time favorites. The
English eleven, however, is thoroughly
representative and includes MacLaren,
Ranjltsinhji, the famous Indian cricke-
ter; Jackson, F,rick. Hayward and
Hearne. The Australian players are
those who beat the an-England eleven
at Lords by ten wickets.
The Australians were all out in their
first innings for 112 runs.
AT the close of play to-day all-Eng-
land had 119 runs for four wickets down
in the first innings.

The Death Of the Passengers and the
Grew,
It is Believed Now That They Were
Massacred by Alaskan Indians
on the Kuskukwim River, as
There Was a Large Amount Of
Whisky and Other Possessions
of the Prospectors ON Board.

SEATTLE, June 29.-United States
Marshal Shoup Of Alaska, will investi-
gate the death of the crew and pas
sengers of the steamer Jessie, who
either persisted in the wreck of their
vessel or were massacred by Alaskan
Indians one year ago on the Kuskuk-
vim River He will take a number
of deputies and detachment of sail
ors from the revenue cutter McCulloch
to bring all Indian suspects to Sitka for
trial There We're eighteen people on
board the Jessie, and it was thought
at first that they had met death by
drowning, but subsequent developments
suggested a possibility that they
reached shore and were murdered by
Indians. Marshal Shoup believes they
We're murdered. Before leaving for
Alaska to-day he said:
THE Jessie had great amount of
whisky on board The Indian pilot
knew this. My theory of the case is
that the whites fell in with a large
party of Indians, who became trouble
some. They were given whisky, and
the other possessions Of the prospectors
led to the wholesale murder"
The persons constituting the expedi-
ton were: W. T. Reyton, Tennessee;
r. P. Friarson, Tennessee; DR.. r. AL
len, Kentucky; A. C. Stetson, Harry
Hedreem, Seattle; E. H Lines, Con-
necticut; o. F. Amraud, Seattle; En-

Eli Knutson, Geneso, Idaho; Clifford

The McCulloch will take Marshal
Shoup to the mouth of the Kuskukwim,
about the 1st of August.

terday

| LONDON, June 29.-The Secretary OF
State for the Colonies, Joseph Cham
berlain, and the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
received deputation from the East
ern Telegraph Company this afternoon.
The Marquis of Tweedale and others
expressed objection to competition
with private enterprise, referring to the
proposed Pacific cable, and Sir Michael
Hicks Beach promised to furnish
written reply. In the meantime he re-
minded the deputation, the Pacific
cable project was not new and was one
the Government had a perfect right 10
undertake
Mr. Chamberlain said that while Gus
toners justly complained of the pres
ent high rates, it was mainly for the
sake of an all-British cable connecting
all portions of the Empire that the
Government entertained the present
project.
The Marquis of Tweedale declared
that the proposed cable would speedily
lead to the ruin of the cable company
that the delegation represented, and
advanced the alternative plan of pro-
viding for the formation of a British
Imperial Telegraph Company to take
over the securities of the present TOM
pany, the stock of the new oomp-ny
being guaranteed by the Government
at ~ per cent. interest, the present
large reserve fund of the companies be-
ing used to lay the Pacific and other
cables and the surplus revenue from
the reduction of interest to be devoted
to reducing rates and relieving the cap
ital. Sir Michael Hicks Beach says the
best answer to the Marquis of Twee-.
dale's alternative proposal was tn
neither India nor Australia were pre-
pared to support it.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer also
entirely demurred from the objections
raised and strongly intimated that they
were untenable.

About IL O'Clock two men entered the
room while another stood guard at the
door. All had on slippers. The two
who first entered crept etealthily to
Wing Hos bed. The dummy" was
sleeping peacefully. Each man put a
pistol to the head and fired. Before
they could leave the room the officers
opened fire at close and deadly range.
One man dropped but goS up, as was
shown later, and after desperate bat
tie in which the officers fired some ten
or fifteen shots and Chinese nearly as
many, all the men got out of the room.

Ind all was darkness. Bache said he
had been shot and there was some de-
lay in looking after him. as it was be-
lieved he had been shot through the
abdomen. This caused some delay in
any arrests.

two men stood who shot the dummy,
after they returned, were picked up
three bullets. All the bullets are bat
tered and dented by contact with some
hard substance which turned them.
This explains why one or two dropped
but got up again. Bache is a dead
shot and he says he knows he hit the
man he first shot at, for he could see
him. Deputy Anderson, who used a
41-caliber pistol, says he hit his man,
and he shows the battered bullet
The affair has caused much excite
ment in the Chinese colony. Some time

Crackbon and Morgan found consider
able morphine in the stomach. Dr.
Wachendorf attended the inquest in

nervous wreck, presumably from his
failure to get any morphine. He sat
in the Office of the Coroner and was
very uncommunicative to those who
spoke to him.
Just about noon Wachendorf col
lapsed. He fell to the floor and was
almost in convulsions when picked up.
He was taken into the inquest room
and the doctors applied an injection Of
cocaine. The drug revived him. AS
soon as his senses returned he appealed
pitiously to the doctors for another in
lection. He was given one about
twenty minutes after the first injection
Dr.. Fehlen, who was called in by
Wachendorf to attend Kehlenbeck was
the most important witness. He tes-
titled that the deceased was in an ex-
tremely low condition and that he adj
ministered injections of atrophine and
strychnine. He left supply of stych-
| nine for Wachendorf to give the sick
man. DIR. Fehlen returned to the house
in the evening and found that his in
structions had not been carried out.
DR.. Fehlen testified that when he re-
marked that 1t was serious case that
Wachendorf remarked that he wanted
DR.. Fehlen to stand in with him in
case anything serious should hap

Dr. Fehlen did not administer chlor-
oform. Wachendorf admitted to him
that he had given the sick man an in
| lection of strychnine and morphine.

Company to-day brought suit against
A. Caminetti and L. A Gross for $780,

The complaint states that Caminetti

transfer it to T. B. Dillon; that the
Columbia Company became the owner
of Dillon'S contract and of the mine
by transaction with him, and that
it expended $4,000 in developing the
mine; that on May 8, 1898, Caminetti
entered the mine and forcibiy took pos
