One par ty of four, headed by Stuart. of Sno- homish, Wash, went through the ice near Whitehorse on April and were drowned with their dogs While the Litkie party, now here, were crossing Summit lake last Saturday John De- land went through the ice and was only rescued with difficulty. Grave anxiety is expressed for those now on the trail.
 tangle in titles is reported from Atlin, where many Americans located claims last year, only to be busted by the passage of the anti-alien law of this spring.

THE TENT CAUGHT FIRE.
John Ersktne Perhaps Fatally Burned and His sIx-Year- Old Child Incinerated
 Near Joplin, Mo.

Joplin, Mo, April l9.--At the burn. ing of their tent near the Midway mines John Erskine was probably fa- tally burned, his six-year-old child was burned to a crisp and other mem bers of his family were severely burned. Erskine's family was living in tent and early in the morning he built fire in the stove and then returned to bed. The tent caught fire from the stovepipe and the sleeping family were awakened by the flames which enveloped them. All escaped but one of the children. Upon ascertaining that one of his children was missing, John Erskine rushed back into the fire, clad only in his underclothes, and rescued the burning child. He was mass of flames as he rescued his dying child, and was so badly burned that flesh and finger nails dropped off his hands.

 Killing Her Alleged Paramour

Canton, O., April l9. The state has concluded its direct testimony against Mrs. George and the defense will now have its inning.

This came from the bench in decision admitting testimony bearing on the relations between the accused and Saxton dating back as far as the sos. The judge announced that these relations were admissible if insanity is to be the defense or if insanity is to be in any degree relied upon as part of the defense. They were further admissible, he said, on the grounds of reconciliation or deliberation, and also because the state has shown some of the relations between Saxton, Mrs. George and Mrs. Althouse.

MOVEMENT DATES FROM CLOSE OF WAR.
Kinley That West Virginia Is Prepared to Furnish Her share of Troops for Service in tho Phiiippines-The Wade Court of Inquiry.

Washington, April 19. The latest immigration Statistics show a marked increase over the record of several preceding years in the matter of Euro pean immigration. The increase dates from the closing of hostilities between this country and Spain. There was a decided drop in the number of immi- grants coming to this country soon after the inauguration of hard times under the Cleveland administration. and comparatively small number of immigrants landed here up to the time of the war and pending actual hostilities. Since then there has been rapid increase, as shown by the records of the commissioner of immi- grafton. For the six months ended December 3, 1897, the total number of arrivals was 99, ,l75, compared with a total immigration of 125, ,2SS for the six months ended December 31, 1898, an increase of about 26, 900. The great increase for that period began in Au- gust of last year, just about the time of the announcement that hostilities had ceased. The statistics show a
 
 tion and a corresponding increase of arrivals from Italy and Russia. The statistics for the six months period of 1897 show that Isaly headed the list with 20,6i6, Russia coming next with i9, 1928. Ireland third with l0,362 and Germany fourth with g, ,4S3, Sweden sending 6,995. Hungary 5,SS5 and En- gland 5,672. Germany. Ireland and Sweden each sent more female than maie immigrants.

BERLIN, Oct. 2S.-The war news ar
rives here in a contradictory shape and is
often unintelligible. The comment of
most of the papers, irrespective of party,
is anti-British and often couched in u
satirical and taunting tone. The belief
is general that Great Britain thus far has
got the worst of the fight, but that the
news is suppressed by the cable censor
ship, the result of which, il is argued,
demonstrates that 1t is necessary that
Germany should construct and operate
cables, for in the present state of things,
with Great Britain owning all the cables,
Germany in the event of war will he en-
tirely in the power of Great Britain as
regards news. Hence many papers advo-
cate the laying of a number of German
cables. There have been many complaints

with the wagons and equipment, between
October 20 and "a is pointed to as being a
splendid feat on the part of the admiral
ty, not forgetting, however, to also give
credit to the army for having the men
ready at the dock.
Lieutenant Commander Colwell, the
United States naval attache here, who
closely watched the embarkation of the
troops at Southampton, said on the sub
ject:
"It was a splendid sight. Everything
was done in good order. On each trans
port a naval lieutenant was in command
and on the dock a naval officer super
vised the whole. The army officers had
their men lined up and staff sergeant
passed along the ranks, chopping eight
cen men off at time, thus forming
messes. Marching on board, they found
everything prepared for them.
Sir Charles Dixie, writing to the
Speaker, draws attention to the gigantic
cost of the mobilization of a compara-
lively small army. He says: Though
the War Office processes to be pleased
with the result of the mobilization, they
took far longer to complete the arrange
ments than the maximum period allowed
by other powers"
Continuing, Sir Charles declared that
the present system was entirely wrong.

Whether ELL 100000 borrowed to carry on
