SN0WBOUND IN ALASKA
An Unsuccessful Effort to Aid the
Sufferers.
SIX DAYS WITHOUT FOOD
Started Across the County Without q
Guide for the Yukon-One Man
Was Frozsn-Had to Eat
Beaver Hides.

Seventy Mile River, Alaska, Dec. 20,
via Seattle, Wash, Feb. 1S.-Lee Pate,
Julius Sternberg and J. A. Richie of
Montreal have returned here from an
unsuccessful effort to relieve party OF
prospectors at the head Of Porcupine
river. They were gone over six weeks
and suffered semistarvation, as they
took provisions for 80 days only. For
six days they were practically without
food All their snowshoe lacings and
spare skins were fed to their dogs.
Richie, who led the relief party, was
a member Of the party that was to be
rescued. 1t consisted of Richie, D. A.
McPhee of Winnipeg, Ray Moffatt of
Pembroke, Ont; Phillip Billneau of
Duluth and ALEC" Holmes of Fresno,
Cal. They went in over the Edmonton
route and last fall found themselves at
the headwaters of the Porcupine river,
too late ITO descend in boats.
Without guide they started across
the country to the Yukon, 200 miles
away. Holmes froze both feet at the
outset. Believing himself unable to
continue the journey, he decided to go
into camp at Fish Branch" on the
Upper Porcupine, and trust to getting
enough salmon through hole in the ice
to keep off starvation until help should
come. Moffatt and Billneau remained
with Holmes. Ritchie and McPhee,
with four dogs, pushed on for relief In
five days their food gave out and they
were reduced to the necessity Of toast
ing five beaver hides and eating them,
one after another. At the end of 10
days they reached a cabin at the mouth
of the Big Sheep creek, where they
found Pate and Sternberg. Pate, Stern
berg and Rttchie started in a few days
to relieve Holmes and his companions,
with the result above stated. They
found the camp at Fish Branch"
where Moffatt had left note saying
that they had been unable to replenish
their supply of game or fish and, fear
ing that assistance might be delayed
in reaching them, had decided to go to
Lapierre house, down the Porcupine
river some 20 miles.

Urged at the Session of tho National
Council of Women.

Urged at the Session OF the National
Council of Women.
Washington, Feb. 1S.--The feature of
to-day's session of the national coun-
Gil of women was prolonged discus
sion over series of resolutions against
the seating of Representative Roberts
of Utah in congress. When. the fore
noon session opened Miss May Wright
Sewall retiring president, presented
her report and recommendations. Re
viewing the enlargement of the work
of the council, she proceeded to out
line needed reforms. Then followed the
report of the resolutions committee
recommending the adjustment of the
canteen system in the army and navy;
deprecating war; requesting the influ
ence of President Mckinley to stop
bull lighting in Cuba; against bird de-
struction for military purposes; in favor
of physical and industrial general ed
ucation as well as mental and larger
participation of women in the work
incident to our colonial acquisitions
With reference to Representative
Roberts of Utah, a majority and a mi
nority report were made. The majority
Roberts resolution follows:
Resolved, That the National Coun-
Gil of Women of the United States

tic and civil virtue as well as for the
ments, both state and national: there
fore, be it
Resolved. That no person should be
allowed to hold a place in any law
making body of the nation who is not
a law abiding citizen"
The minority resolution was stronger,
citing the binding effect of the Ed
munds law and saying:
THAT no person shall be allowed to
hold any place in law king body
of the nation who is not in this and all
other matters a law-abiding citizen"
There resolutions gave rise to long
and animated discussion and were lost.
On the majority resolution on the call
for negatives nobody rose and the chair
declared the resolution carried. All the
remaining resolutions were adopted

He Fired Into a Crowd of Boys, Killing
One.
Toledo. Feb. 1S.-There was a bloody
tragedy enacted in the Polish settlement
last evening, which would probably
have resulted in the loss of many lives
but for the timely arrival of the police.
AS it was the excitement ran so nigh
that it was all the officers could do to
quiet the crowds of excited people, 1t
was the result of what the police call
cold-blooded murder. A crowd of boys,
ranging in ages from 10 to Is years,
were skating on the common, at least
1000 feet away from any building. They
had built fire at the edge Of the" ice
to keep themselves warm. Vincent
SlSibenski aged 45 years, who lives fully
half mile from where the boys were
skating, went over to them and told
them to go away. They paid no atten-
ton to him, but kept on skating. Ski
benski returned to the house, secured
bulldog revolver and went back to
where the boys were gathered around
the fire. When Skibenski came within
80 feet Of the boys, without saying
word, it is said, he pulled out the revol-
yer and began firing into the crowd of
some 20 boys.
boy, aged IL year, fell dead, pierced
through the heart with a bullet. Two
other lads. named Renski. were also
struck by flying bullets and seriously
wounded. The boys then fled and spread
the news of the killing through the Pol
ish settlement, and in jiffy men, wom-
en- and children by the hundred were
pouring out of their cottages and MAX
ing post haste for the scene of the
murder. Skibenski knew the temper
of his countrymen and what would

hands, and he started toward the GEN.
ter of the city to get to the police sta
ton. The police got hold of Skibenski
and rushed him to the police station as
rapidly as possible, and even then it was
feared the Polish people would turn
out in body and try to pull Skibensk
out Of his cell and string him up. They
were finally quieted down and sent to
their homes and all promised to let the
law take it's course. The police say
there was not the slightest provocation
which could have led Skibenski to COM
nit the awful deed. He is married and
has a family.

Bremen. Feb. 1S.-The British steamer
koordistan, Captain Simpson, from Sa-
vannah on Jan. 26 for this port, has ar
rived here and reports that on Feb 5, in
latitude Al north, longitude A west she

The Bulgaria also had a heavy list to

been carried away.
The boats of the Koordistan vainIy at

unable to do so, owing to the heavy
weather prevailing The Koordistan stood

s
upon the occasion of the trouble which
occurred at the funeral of General Gar
ella, in deserving Governor General
Brooke and making common cause with
the assembly. The paper refers to the
letter Of General Domingo Mendez Ca
pote, the head of the department of
government, who has just resigned the
presidency of the Cuban assembly be-
cause it has decided he cannot hold two
offices. generating General Brooke
from responsibility ard says the great
est Importance of the action was in the
fact that the secretaries were upheld.
The secretaries, La Lucha points out,
were present at the funeral in the
double capacity of members of the as
sembly and as members of General
Brooke's Cuban cabinet of adviser and
when the misunderstanding arose they
deserted the authority to whom they
had sworn allegiance. If true delicacy
existed, says La Lucia, they would not
have withdrawn from the funeral, or
have withdrawn from the the service
under the authority of the United
States, especially of they officiated at
the funeral merely as advisers, and not
as members of the assembly. La Luz
cha concludes with remarking that the
occurrence shows the inexperience and
nervousness shown by the secretaries
should not exist in the case of men
at the head of the administration and
the policy of the country.

full confidence of the emperor, who
holds that the foreign office in matters
like this must predominant, in view OF

German newspapers assert that the
Standard Oil company and Russian
companies have come to an arrange

shortly be interpellated regarding the
steps to be taken to counteract the
threatened revival of the monopoly.
Emperor William has pardoned Henry
Tiedemann of New York, a German
American who deserted from the Prus-
sian army in 1880 and went to the Unit

and built up a prosperous business in
New York. Recently he was arrested
while on visit to his relatives in Ger

however, made representations with a

TO COMPLETE IT
Senate Considered the PostoMce
Appropriation Bill.
AN ANIMATED DISCUSSION
The Pneumatic Tube System Amend
ment Aroused Lively Debate-An
Echo OF the Old Star Route
Developments.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The senate
spent most of the day on the postoffice
appropriation bill, but failed to COM
plete it. After an animated discussion
of the pnematic tube system, Mr.. Gull
lom's amendment increasing the appro-
priation for the purpose and designed
to extend the system to Chicago, was
tabled. An echo of the old star route
developments was heard when several
senators criticised the method by which
a combination of spectators secured
the star route contracts. number
of bills Of minor Importance were pass
ed early in the day. At o'clock trb-
utes to the memory of the late Repre-
sentative Simpkins Of Massachusetts,
were pronounced,
When the senate met a number of
minor bills, mostly dealing with grants
of right of woy to railways through
Indian reservations, were passed. Com
sideration of the postoffice appropria-
ton bill was then resumed
Cullom offered an amendment APP
as provided by the bill for the extern
sion of pneumatic tube mail service
either by purchase or otherwise. He
presented a long petition from business
men from Chicago urging that that city
be given the benefit Of pneumatic tube
service and the idea of his amendment
was it should be extended to Chicago
Quay, in charge of the bill, favored
the use of pneumatic mail tubes, but
was inclined not to admit the propri
ETY. of putting an amendment on the
bill. Allison made point of order
against the amendment that it was new
legislation. The point of order was dis
cussed at length by several senators.
Mr.. Chandler of New Hampshire
strongly controverted the point of or
der, holding that the proposition of Mr..
Cullom was simply one to increase an
appropriation carried by the bill. After
some parliamentary sparring the point
of order was Withdrawn temporarily in
order that senators might express their
views upon the merits of the PROPOSE
ton.
Mr.. Wolcott of Colorado, chairman of
the postal committee appointed by
congress- opposed the amendment, de-
claring it would cost $25,O00,O 900 a year
to properly maintain pneumatic tube
service in the principal cities of the
country. 80
Mr.. Wolcott said the pneumatic tube
service had come to stay, but there
should be a well considered plan de
vised by the government for the intro
duction of the service, lest it become
involved in serious difficulties.
Mr.. Pettigrew vigorously opposed the
adoption Of the service unless 1t could
be operated under government owner
ship. .ny
Mr. Mason and Mr. cullom advocat-
ed the amendment The amendment
was tabled, 80 to 23.
The bill was amended NV extending
