FROM ALASKA.
H. Y. Jones Reports Many Lives
Having Been Lost.

VICTORIA (B. C.), July s21.-H. Y.
Jones, who recently crossed the Ed
monitor trail, has reached this city.
He started from Swift Current, N. w.
T., on April 8, 1898, taking with him
IS beef cattle and four assistants. One
of whom, Joe Butler, was drowned
while going down Lizard River in a
small boat, being caught in Cranberry
Rapids Every one of the cattle lived
through all hardships subsisting on
moss. bushes and withered weeds, and
were sold at a profit.
In July of last year Jones says
party of twenty were lost on the Great
Slave Lake Several of their bodies
have been found near Sylvester Land
ing. At about the same time, the Har-
ris brothers of Seattle lost all but four
of a band of forty cattle. A larger
herd belonging to Laing and Manzell
of California were lost at Dunregan, on
the Peace River, only six being saved.
Manzell came out to the coast with
Jones, but Laing never lived to COM
plete the journey.
Mr.. Jones denies the statement that
gold is to be found in paying quantities
on the Mud River. He also says the
Indians are dying out. the tribe on the
Mud River having dwindled down to
five.

ADoLPH LUETGERT.
Convicted Wife-Murderer Found
Dead in His Cell.

JOLIET( Ill.), July 27.-Adolph L.
Leutgert, the wealthy Chicago sausage
maker, who was serving a life sem
tence in the penitentiary here for the
murder of his wife, was found dead in
his cell to-day.
Doctors Werner and O'Malley held a
postmortem examination. DR.. O'Mal-
ley says Luetgert died from fatty de-
generation of the heart. DR.. O'Malley
found that the heart was surrounded
by q great mass of fat, and that it
was really surprising, considering the
condition of the heart, that death had
not come long before this.
The trial of Luetgert in Chicago at
tracted wide attention and was one
of the most sensational in the history
of the State. Luetgert was charged
with having murdered his wife in the
basement Of his factory and cooked the
body in a vat. The prosecution had
found small bones and two rings as
evidence that their theory was correct,
but secured conviction and a life SEN
tence.

CRocKER's OFFER.
Does Not Apply to Grapes Grown
in Fresno County.


FRESNO. July 27.-The offer of Fl. J.
Crocker of San Francisco to pay Sl4
per ton for wine grapes has stirred up
considerable enthusiasm among grow
erS in this vicinity.
At a meeting of wine growers held
in Scandinavian colony last week
committee was appointed to confer
with Mr.. Crocker, and ascertain if his
offer covered both, the dry and sweet
wire varieties of grapes. Mr.. Crocker
informed the committee that his offer
applied only to the dry wine product,
and as Fresno is principally sweet
wine county, it is not included in the
Offer
Mr.. Crocker has written a letter to
the committee, in which he says he is
much pleased at the interest mani
tested by the Fresno growers. and that
as soon as arrangements have been
completed with the dry wine counties
he will take up the matter Of helping
the sweet wine counties but he adds
that he does not think anything can be
done this season, as the time is too
short
The growers Of Scandinavian colony
are not despaired, however, and will
hold another meeting next Tuesday,
with a view of forming an organization
among themselves for the purpose of
keeping up the prices.

TRANsvAAL TROUBLE.
Balfour Takes a Sanguine View Of
the Situation.

GAS S4tAAASAOAAs
LONDON, July Pin the course of
a speech at Conservative luncheon
this afternoon, A. ]. Balfour, First
Lord of the Treasury and Government
leader in the House of Commons, in
the Transvaal situation. said
that if the Governments endless pa
tience and endless desire to prevent
matters coming to a crisis, and ii all
the resources of diplomacy We're in
effectual to unite the knot, other means
must inevitably be found to loosen it.
Mr.. Balfour, however, said he took a
more sanguine view of the situation.
He understood the Transvaal was Ire-
pared to grant some substantial re-
dress, although quite inadequate, ac-
cording to Great Britain's standard. 1t
was manifestly impossible, Mr.. Ba.four,
said, that Great Britain should per-
manently submit to free-born English
men being treated as an inferior race.
While he did not take a despairing
view Of the situation, it would be folly
to pretend that all the difficulties had
been solved or to proclaim a peace
which was not yet assured.

DEGRADATION OF PELLIEUx.
Minister Of War De Gallifet As
sumes Full Responsibilities.

PARIS, July 27.-In view of the ex-
citement caused by the degradation Of
Generals Pellieux and De Negrier, and
the rumored resignation of other Gen
erals, the Minister Of War, General De
Gallifet, has thought it advisable to
issue communication assuming full
responsibility for the recent orders.
General De Gallifet says there is alb,
solutely no ground for the assertion
that the disciplinary measures adopted
since the formation of the new Cabi-
net were due to the advice or demands
of the Cabinet, but that he.personally
investigated and determined the course
to pursue and then submitted his in
tention to the Cabinet, which approved
his actions. General Gallifet's COM
munication concludes:
1.-The Minister of War has taken and
proposes to retain the responsibilities
accruing to these measures a leading
part as behooves his position

bers Of the Supreme Council of War,

TURNED TURTLE.
Steamer Sea Gull Capsizes in San

SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-The
steamer Sea Gull, which runs between
San Francisco and Mount Eden, carry
ing salt, turned turtle this morning
while lying at Spear-street wharf and
the crew of three men, who We're asleep
at the time, narrowly escaped drown
ing.
The Sea Gull is now lying bottom up
ward, and the wreckers are at work,
hoping to turn her over, while the car
go of seventy-five tons of salt which
was on the steamer when she went
over, has melted away.
: There were three men aboard at the
time of the accident. These were En-
gineer Haps. Mate Jankofsky and Fred
White, the cook When the vessel
keeled over White was rolled from his
bunk and alarmed his companions.
The cause of -the accident is un-
known. The general impression is that
a stop-cock was left open and that the
vessel filled with water and then cap
sized. Another theory is that her moor
ing lines were too short and she was
turned over by the falling of the tide.
