SIX BODIES RECOVERED
The First Authentic News of the Disas-
 ter to the Jessie Party

St. Michael, Alaska. August 31.-yia Seattle, September 13.-The first authentic news of the disaster to the Jessie party which occurred at the mouth of the Koskuum. in June, 1898. and by which fourteen persons lost their lives, were brought here by Dr. Romig, of the Romig mission, at St. Bethel.
 Dr. Romig had with him many articles taken off the bodies of those washed ashore at different points. Six bodies are reported to have been found. Of these one was identified as J. T. Murphy, of Frankfort, Ky Another body is thought to be that of Rev. E. L. Weber, a Moravian mission ary who was acting guide for the Jessie party. The Jessie party was made up of people from Tennessee and Kentucky
 The revenue cutter Mccullough sailed for Sitka this morning having Governor Brady and party on board. In his annual report to congress Governor Brady will reeom- mend that Alaska be vested with state hood powers. He has also asked for ca ble from the Pacific coast to the mouth of the Yukon.

inches and feet 8 inches tall. In England he would not in this respect be regarded as specially out of common. In France in the midst of a smaller race, his height is stately. He is not broadly built. His shoulders are somewhat high-drawn and small, yet very accurately balanced, but to this credit sartorial skill may afford aid. His throat is long and thin. His back is somewhat bent, and in consequence oE this his chest appears to be a little mcuryed, even when he makes an effort to stratghten himself out His legs are long and wasted by several years lack of ex- ercise His hands are long, small and b0ny. His head is relatively small. His hair has been cut quite short as for the most part the custom is with French off eers. Formerly it was brown. It is now much turned to gray, and the man is only 30 years old.
 Over the forehead and on the crown of the head the skull has become quite bald. On these spots the skin, white and smooth,
 quite shimmers, without the least trace of down. The shape of the skull, not being concealed by hair. is visible enough. Drey- fus Is branchcephalic estimate his in- dex at S3 or S4 The skull is not very high, the occipital bone is somewhat vaulted, and
 the ears are fairly long and outstanding
 Now for the face. Dreyfus is cleanly- shaven, save short, thin mustache of in- definite color, which. with light brown as
 base, is tinged with some intermingled red and white lines. The cheeks are thin with out being actually hollow. The jaw-bones are very pronounced, the nose is not large.

 which people style the "Jewish" erroneous
 ly, for the real Semitic nose Is long, thin
 and perfectly straight
 The crooked nose Is Armenian. The Jews only have this characteristic in a marked degree since they became strongly inter mingled with the Hittites, the ancestors of the Armenians of today.
 Dreyfus mouth is rather small than large, yet without nobility. The underlip Is somewhat large and projecting It is
 compressed into a form suggestive of de- fance, possibly also of scorn In happy times the mouth must hare appeared scorn- full. The chin Is strong. the entire lower portion of the face is, as it were, pushed forward while the nose seems pressed in between the eheekbones. The forehead is broad and finely formed. The eyes are small rather than large. light brown and slightly contracted, as is frequently ob- served in the case of short-sighted people, and are always protected by a piece-nez It Is difficult to say what impression the face would make if one knew nothing of the history of man. Perhaps one would not
 find 1t particularly attractive. Perhaps the projection of the chin and tinder-ja might give it somewhat inferior character.

KRUGER WILL COMPLY
Thought That Dom Paul Will Accept
 British Demands

Capetown, September 1S.-The report as to time limit of 4S hours in the English note arose from the fact that the British diplomatic agent at Pretoria, Conyninsham Green, in presenting Mr.Chamberlain's dis patch expressed hope that reply would be given by the Transvaal government by Thursday.
 The Cape Times and the Cape Argus both consider the British note generous and conchiatory, and all papers, including ing the Krugerite organs, assume that the Transvaal will comply with the British densands.
 It is believed that the Orange Free State volksraad will be summoned to consider the situation.
 Military developments continue and the work of preparation for emergencies goes on. Upon the arrival of the next batch of the troops the headquarters staff of the Royal Artillery will be transferred to Kim berly whither a battery will proceed to pro- tect the diamond mines.

CAPT. ALFRED DREYFUS
A Pen Picture of Him by Dr. Max
 Nordau

From the London Daily Mail.
 It was one of the most pathetic moments l have ever experienced and am ever likely to experience
 Colonel Jouaust had, on the 7th of the
 month, at 6:30 in the morning, given the order to bring in the accused, Captain Dreyfus." A door of the small room in the background, to the right of the raised plat
 form on which the judges sat, was at once
 opened. and, accompanied by a captain of gendarmes, there suddenly appeared the man whose fate is so profoundly moving
 both the old world and the new.
 He entered with quick step then, holding
 his head stiffy straight, and with look di-
 rected right in front away into the beyond.
 he turned sharply to the right, ascended
 the three steps to the platform, stood for
 moment before the president of the court,
 saluted him militarywise, by placing his
 open hand with the palm outwards, to his
 kepi took couple of steps again sharply to the right, and seated himself on the
 cane stool which had been allotted him.
 That was the man who, erased from the
 list of the living, had languished for over
 fifty months on the Devils Island, con-
 demned to everlasting muteness, watched
 day and night by pairs of eyes which pro-
 claimed their hatred and contempt. torn and lacerated alive by vultures, Prome- theus was, yet without the consciousness of having Nike the Titans. dared the gods; lonely as Robinson Crusoe, yet without his freedom and without his pride; fighting single-handed with nature, and conQuering her; tortured in his body by Lebon's Iron bars and feet-manacles, in hds very exist ence menaced by revolvers, continually pointed at him, which the guards could fire without fear of punishment-yea, indeed, were obliged to fire if single movement on his part appeared uspicious-suffering a thousand deaths by the recollection of the disgrace he had suffered and the con- tinued cruelty of his fate.
 Lazarus arisen from his grave! hope it is no blasphemy If say that the witnesses of that miracle which the Saviour wrought must have almost experienced what felt at the appearance of Dreyfus when they saw the dead man raise himself up in his coffin. could not turn my eyes away from him. In all that great hall, full of inter- esting personalities, l saw nobody and nothing but him. Every detail of his ap- pearance had a significance in my eyes, and stamped itself my mind.

in Agrlkanaer circles here that thei Trans vaal government will accept the British note leaving the question of suzerainty on the basis of the convention of 1881.
 Pretoria September 13--A communication has been received from the imperial govern ment stating that although anxious for a prompt reply the imperial authorities do not desire to tie the Transyaal authorities down to forty-eight hours. The reply will possibly come before the volksraad tonor- TOW. The decision of the executive will undoubtedly be influenced by the action Of the Orange Free State.
 The government is still willing to attend the joint commission originally proposed.

Washington. September 13.-The comp troller of the treasury has held in effect that the finder of mutilated paper cur rency is entitled to have 1t redeemed by the government. The question arose on the application of parties living in St. Louis for the redemption of s3.s5o in mu- tiated currency which. they allege, they found. Up to this time the department has held to the contrary, and where mu- tilated paper currency has been sent in for redemption by parties claiming that they had found it. the government has ap- propriated the same without making resti- tuition.

Refused Clearance at Hong Kong On Claim That It Was Overcrowded- Regulars Made No Complaint
 Against the Tartar.

Washington, September 13.-The United States army transport Tartar is detained at Hong Kong by the British authorities. She was chartered by the United States and is owned by the Canadian Pacific Steamship company. She sails under tae British flag. It is said that under these conditions she is subject to the British navigation laws, as being chartered by the United States does not entitNe her to American registry. The British consul can determine whether she complies with the British navigation laws, and if she does not he has authority to unload her.
 An International Matter
 It was stated at the war department this evening that the Tartar matter had been referred to Ambassador Choate which makes an international question of it. The contention of the war department is that notwithstanding the Tartar flies the Brit ish flag the assumption of British authority over her is unauthorized, as she is char tered by the United States government.
 A cable message was received this morn- ing at the war department concerning the transport, which has been held at Hong Kong. Secretary Root thought it was of SulUCleuI lulpOIldHct lO LdhS tO eAAS PA dent for consideration.
 Conferred With Chamberlain
 After Secretary Roots return from the white house he had a conference with the commissioner of navigation, Mir Chamber lain, and also decided to take up the mat ter of the Tartar with the state depart ment with a view of having the ship clear ed at Hong Kong.
 dispatch was sent to Colonel Metcalfe. of the Twentieth Kansas, who is in com mand of the troops on the transport, ask ing if in his opinion the ship was over- crowded and if there was just ground for complaint of the subsistence furnished the men "A dispatch was also sent to General Otis asking for further information con- cernineS the Tartar, and the supplies with which she was furnished.
 No definite decision can be reached until the state department has seer.iinuhicated with our embassy at London, as it is a question which must be settled by the British government.
