LOST WITH ALL ON BOARD
PROBABLE FATE OF PARTY OF
GOLD-SEEKERS.
Sailed From Seattle For Kotzebue
Sound Year Ago-Schooner Un-
doubtedly Foundered In Storm.

Seattle, Wash, May st now seems
probable that the steamer Loyal,
which sailed from Seattle one year ago
for Kotzebue Sound, Alaska, with
twelve persons on board, is lost. She
was due to return last fall, but her nom
appearance caused no particular anx-
iety, as it was thought the party might
have decided to winter in the north.
This consolation has been taken away
by the receipt of a letter from st. Mich
ael, dated Sept 10, 1898, in which it was
stated the schooner would sail for Sc
attic in two or three days. The letter
has just been received by Mrs. Isaac
Taylor of this city, whose husband was
aboard the schooner.
Captain c. D. Jones of the schooner
Moonlight, who sailed from st. Mich

CHARGES OF HERESY.
Professor Morgan Causes Trouble In
Iowa University.

Des Moines, Ia, May 9.-The trustees
and students of Drake university are in
trouble over charges of heresy against
Professor Oscar w. Morgan, professor
of Biblical languages and literature
Professor Morgan says the study of the
higher criticism has convinced him that
the accepted orthodox ideas are unrea-
sonable. He does not believe the Bible
is divinely inspired record of Hebrew
history, but that it is a human account
of the history of people in many ways
divinely guided.
The orthodox students in his classes
petitioned the trustees against this kind
of teaching, and the trustees decided to
change Morgan to the chair of Hebrew
and classic Greek. 1t developed in the
investigation of his teachings that some
of the other members of the faculty had
similar views to those of Professor
Morgan, and this was influential in pre-
venting Mr.. Morgan's dismissal from
the institution.
Students friendly to Morgan have
distributed throughout the university
place copies of an anonymous circular,
assailing the divinity students who had
attacked Morgan.

AGUINALDo WAS TERRIFIED.
His Efforts to Suppress Mutiny In
His Army.

New York. May "a dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Manila.
says:
only the entreaties of Aguinaldo
averted last Tuesday a civil war be-
tween the forces of his two rival gem
erals, Luna and Mascardo. They were
actually drawn up in battle array.
This and a positive confirmation of
the news that Luna has been danger
ously wounded in the shoulder in the
battle of San Tomas are the most i'm
portant items of intelligence brought
today by the army gunboats Laguna de
Bay and CovadOnga. which returned
from a brisk expedition up the San
Fernando river.
1t was Immediately before the battle
of San Tomas that the insurgents SO
nearly arrived at the point of begin
ming to eXterminate one another. Gen
eral Luna, when he saw that an en-
gagement with the American troops
was inevitable. sent back an aide post
haste to BacOlOr. where General
Mascardo was, demanding reinforce

would take orders from no one but
Aguinaldo.
This defiance so infuriated Luna that.
in spite of the impending conflict with
the common enemy. he took loo of mis-
soldiery and made a forced march TO

Mascardo was nothing 10th to fight it
out and ordered his command into line

fiance were heard on both sides. Out

camp was all confused.
Aguinaldo, terrified by the situation,
ordered his chief of staff, Colonel Ar
guelezas, to make peace at all hazards
The soldiers loaded their pieces and
were waiting orders to begin the on
slaught when Arguelezas gallOped be-
tween the lines, frantically waving
flag of truce. There was an angry con-
ference between him and the rival gen.

strife at a time when they We're al

His entreaties prevailed for the time

GRAIN CROP STATISTICS.
Condition In Europe Shown to Be
Favorable.

Washington, May 9.-The grain crop
statistics which supplement the recent
winter grain report of agriculture show
that the winter grain conditions almost
everywhere in Europe are favorable.
Russian reports complain of deficient
grain, but the general condition is rep
resented as satisfactory.
Little if any harm seems to have been
done by the severe cold weather in
March in the western country and re-
ports of spring cultivation and seeding
are favorable. Considerably less than
a normal crop, approximately three
fourths. is indicated for India as a
whole, Bengal alone reporting uneoui-
vocally good out-turns. Roumania re-
ports 1898 wheat 5S,456 904 bushels; rye,
7,25S, 6SS: maize. SS, 900. 900. This is a
large gain over 1897. Austria 1898 wheat
crop is reported at 46. 400. 900 bushels
ItaIy's wheat crop for 1898 is officially
put at 1891, 900 bushels. In Argentina
the area under wheat for 1889 from
which the crop was recently gathered,
has been officially estimated at $780,
319 acres and the aggregate product is
unofficially estimated at 70.000.000 BUSH
els.
The United States minister at
Buenos Ayres reports that the quality
of the wheat crop is fairly good and
the yield extraordinary. The maize
crop now gathering is. like wheat, a
good one. In the United Kingdom, the
increase in the wheat crop over that
for 1897 was 1s.osS,s21 bushels. a per-
centage of increase nearly three times
as great in production as in area

One of the most important mining
deals in the history of the state was
closed up in this city late Yesterday
afternoon. 1t involves the development
of another great copper bonanza at
Bingham. the erection in Salt Lake val
ley of a smelter and a concentration
plant of enormous capacity, and en-
ployment for a thousand men before
the close of the year.
Ehe transaction was the sale by Col
onel E. A. Wall to Captain ]. r. De
Lamar of a one-fourth interest in the
Wall No. group of copper claims at
bingham for $50, 900 cash, and an option
on another fourth interest.
The option runs till the end Of the
year, and an agreement was entered
into relating to the development of the
property.

arrived before the bar, Judge McMa-
hon asked:
rs there any further charge against
the prisoner"
There is no existing charge" said
Assistant District Attorney Blumen-
thai.
Discharged. said the judge, alb
ruptly.
Arrested On Another Charge.
There was not a trace of feeling On
Molineux's pale face. He stood a mo-
ment and then, taking his hat, started
to walk out of the courtroom. He was
met at the railing in front of the bar by
his counsel, Barlow S. Weeks, who had
rushed from his office on hearing the
news. Weeks grasped the hand of the
young man and shook it and said some
encouraging words. They walked out
of the courtroom. At the door they were
met by Detective Arthur Carey of po-
lice headquarters, who presented a
warrant, issued by Judge Jerome of the
special sessions court, charging Moli-
neux with an assault on Cornish in
sending cyanide of mercury with in
tent to kill him.
Weeks protested, without avail As
sistant District Attorney Osborne was
present, and the party went to the
chamber of Judge Jerome, where the
warrant was read.
Held to Answer
Weeks declared the charge did not
stand, as it was based on the evidence
which the grand jury had ignored i'll
the murder case. But the judge refus-
ed to consider this plea, declaring that
the warrant could not be dismissed an
less, Weeks could show that the specific
charge of assault had been ignored by
the grand jury.
Osborne admitted that if Molineux
was held on this charge the case would
probably be submitted to another
grand jury. with view of connecting
the prisoner with the Adams poisoning
The judge declared that as one grand
jury had acted in the matter, he could
not approve such an idea.
In the midst of the argument it was
decided to continue the case until to-
morrow. Bail was fixed at $4,000.

The property conveyed is what is
