DEATH ON THE TRAIL. .
Scores Of Gold Seekers Have Perished

j. Seattle, Wash, June 8.-The list of
prospectors. who have perished in their
rush to the Yukon gold fields over the
Edmonton trail is growing, and if re-
ports brought down by the steamer
Laurada from southeastern Alaska are
to he believed it will be very large when
the full story is told. Fifty are reported
to have been drowned in the Great Slave
lake, 20 have persisted in the rapids of
the Mud and Laird rivers, ten have
frozen to death, rs have died from
scurvy. The bodies of a score who died
of exposure have been found.
Several parties reached Wrangel last
week from the interior after spending
from ~ to 20 months on the trail in the
vain endeavor to reach the land of
wealth. They say that not less. than
200 prospective miners have lost their
lives by drowning, starvation, exposure
and freezing during the last winter.
Most of these were Americans from the
eastern states. Scurvy is now raging
among the miners who are helpless on
the trail. Before relief can reach them
many others will have persisted.
The Huteson Barge company and the
northwest mounted police have started
small relief expeditions from Telegraph
creek. Government action on large
scale will alone rescue those that are
unable to get out of the country by
their own resources. 1t is extremely
difficult to secure names, although the
miners tell of many accidents that cost
the lives of parties of five or ten.

D'ARCOS IS RECEIVED.
New Spanish Minister Formally Pre-
SCENTS His Credentials to the Pres
ident-Cordially Greeted.

Washington, June 5. - Diplomatic
relations with Spain, broken off April
p, 1898, were formally resumed at II
o'clock Saturday, when President Nc
Kinley greeted Due d'Arcos, the newly
accredited minister to the United
States, in the blue parlor of the white
house.
The speeches were plain spoken and
devoid of the usual hazy diplomatic
phraseology.
At their conclusion the president
stepped forward and shook hands cor
daily with the new minister and they
engaged in conversation in low tone
for minute or two. The president
gracefully inquired after the health of
the queen regent and the king. He
courteously referred to the dues for
mer residence in this country and his
many friends here and repeated the as
surances of the concluding words of
his formal greeting, that every one
here would unite in making the minis
ter's stay in this country pleasant and
satisfactory.

COurt-Martial of Dreyfus-Win
Probably BE Freed.

Paris, June 5.-The verdict of the
court of cassation, given Saturday,
makes Dreyfus, for the time at least,
free man, for until the second court
martial pronounces him guilty-a con-
tingency now undreamed of in Paris
he is captain in the French army, en-
titled to wear his uniform and the cross
of the Legion of Honor.
The court of cassation's review and
declaration that the captain is suffer-
ing for crime he never committed
leaves little chance for another convic-
ton.
The decision says that the prisoner
is to be retired on the following ques-
ton:
us Dreyfus guilty of having in 1894 prac-
ticed Vaccinations or of having had COM
muncation with foreign power or it's
agents with a view of facilitating acts of
hostilities in the case of with France,
or having furnished the means therefor. by
furnishing notes or documents retraced on
the bordereau?"

the Herald from Cayenne says:

the military uniform which he was per-
mitted to do by the French govern
ment.
Capt. Dreyfus will only resume his.
uniform of artillery captain on debark-
ing from the French cruiser Sfax at

INSULT LOUBET.
Violent DemOnstrat til Ons Made A gainst
the French President While
Attending the Races.

Paris, June 5.-President Loubet, ac-
companied by the premier, NJ. Dupuy,
and the chief of the military house
hold, Gen. McBailloud, drove to the
Auteuil races Sunday afternoon, close
ly followed by Nine. Loubet in second
landau. AS they drove along the Ave-
nue. des Champs Eylsees the crowd
bowed respectfully, but on arriving at
Auteuil they were met by a violent dem
onstraticn, evidently organized and di-
rected against the president. There
was a storm of boots, yells and cries of
Panama." "A bas Loubet!" and "Vive
rarmee!" A few shouts of "Vive Lou
bet!" were drowned in the clamor. A
strong force of police kept order and
arrested many of the disturbers, in
Guiding a man who tried to force his
way to the presidents carriage.
At the crisis of the excitement, while
shouts of "Vive rarmee!" and "Vive
Deroulede!" We're heard on all sides,
Count Christiano rushed toward the
president, brandishing a stick, and di-
rected a blow against him, striking his
hat. The crowd rushed upon Chris
tiano, who only esca ped severe handling
by being taken under police protection.
President Loubet remained all the
while quite unmoved, talking to the
premier, while the officers of his mill
tary household were defending him
against violence. Finally, after 30 ar
rests had been made, the project of po-
lice ordered the republican guards to
surround the presidential stand.
Police Inspector Grilliere had his
head seriously wounded in the melee,
and President Loubet has since deco
rated him with the cross of the Legion
of Honor in recognition of his devotion
to duty. On returning to the Elysee
palace NJ. Loubet received many SYM
pathizing callers.

Kansas City, Mo-, June s.-Renewed
interest showed at the second days SEES
sion of the eleventh biennial conven-
lea. Several thousand belated members
of the order had arrived during the
night, and on the questions of impor-
lance developed enthusiastic work and
discussion. The action of Tuesday
nights session, which took the pre-
liminary steps toward creating a re-
serve fund, question which has been
fought for ten years. was discussed
freely by the delegates before the
gathering met. Head Consul Northcott
had been instructed to appoint COM
mittee of five to draft a plan for such a
fund and to report Wednesday. The re-
port was made the special business of
the day, and it proved one for fruitful
debate.
The committee on reserve fund re-
ported at the afternoon session. The
plan that it recommends is that IL reg
ular assessments be made each year.
The assessments are now made only
as the money is needed in paying the
faces of beneficiary certificates. The
committee suggested that all the sur
plus from the assessments be placed
in the reserve fund. The fund is only
to be drawn upon when more than the
IL assessments are necessary in the
year, or in cases of epidemics of dis
case. The report was taken up for de-
bate at once.

Probably the fact is not generally
known that Texas was for many years
called the New Philippines" The first
settlement in what is now Texas was
made by French emigrants in 1855.
During the next rs years there was an
intermittent struggle between the
French and Spanish for supremacy, re-

1914 the name of the New Philippines
was given to the country. This was it's
