SEATTLE, Oct. 31.-After a cruise
in Alaskan waters as far north as
Point Barrow, the United States reve-
nue. cutter Bear Captain Jarvis, re-

veyed them to the United States PEN

Fifteen men who had been ordered out
of Cape Nome by the local authorities
were also brought to this city on the
Bear. They are accused of no particu-
lar offense other than that they had
no visible means of support, and were.
it is said, regarded by the Cape Nome
officials as desperate men.
The Bear called at st. George Island,
on the coast of which the steamer Lau-
rada lies beached. Captain Jarvis says
the Laureda's upper works are nearly
all gone, and he thinks it improba BILE

IDAHO RIOT TRIALS.
Damaging Evidence Against the
Accused.

MOSCOW, Oct. 31.-The most dam
aging evidence yet presented against
the men on trial for obstructing the
mails was given to-day by the wit
nesses for the prosecution.
Objections by Colonel Reddy, counsel
Tor the defense, were numerous. He
exercised all of his ingenuity in cross
questioning of witnesses in order to
have them modify their statements and
put the evidence and credulity of the
people testifying in a prejudicial light
before the jury. The tendency of his
efforts were to impress the jury that
the witnesses were employees of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mining Com
pany, and depended on that corporation
for livelihood and consequently deem
ed it policy to give evidence in ac-
cordance with the wishes of their en-
ployers.
Edward Clemmens, one of the miners
who was released from custody yester-
day, is wanted on a charge of intimi-
dating one of the Governments wit

OREGON VOLUNTEERS.
The Regiment Will be Taken to San
Francisco First,

WASHINGTON, June ia cable
dispatch from General Otis relative 10
the departure of the Second Oregon
states that the regiment will be taken
to San Francisco first, for the reason
that one ship could not carry ali Of
them, and it was desirable to send with
two ships sick and wounded soldiers, q
detachment Of the Signal Corps and
others who were homeward bound
1t is said that as soon as the Oregon
Regiment arrives at San Francisco the
soldiers who do not belong to it can be
unloaded and the ships then proceed up
the coast to the Columbia River and
Portland. This will be determined by
the time of arrival of the volunteers
at San Francisco.
Major General Otis cSbled that the
Oregon Regiment was on the transports
Senator and Newport, together with the
Signal Corps, sick and wounded and
others going to the United States. He
said it would be dangerous to send a
transport large enough to carry the en-
tire regiment UP the Columbia, and also
that the Oregonians were almost unan-
imous in their desire to return by way
of San Francisco. The department
cabled him to use his own judgment
in the matter, so the regiment will come
direct to San Francisco.
