PUGET SOUND FOGS.
The Queer Sights Which Are Seen When AtmOsphe eric Conditions
 Are Favorable.

Seafaring men have often describ bed meeting with fog bank at sea the limits of which were so clearly defined that the forward part of their vessel would be in bright sunlight, with the after portion enveloped in dense fog.
 That the phenomenon is not mis- stated, any of the many people passing the brink of the decline leading down Pacific avenue from the city hall at ten o'clock Saturday morning could readily attest. Daylight had come in with dense fog. This had cleared so that the ships at the elevators were plainly visible.
 Suddenly there came from the straits a bank Of fog. which, instead of un- folding and drifting over the surface of the bay came solidly on This formation was kept up until the fog struck the rise on Pacific avenue lead ing from the wharf. Then it brelle the mist drifting up in trailing clouds.
 The spectacle of the on-marching wall Of fog, as clearly perpendicular as the side of a building. with the suns rays striking against it, was indeed grand. Several shipping men noticed it. and fog was made the subject of conversation in number of offices on the water front. bringing forth the nar- ration of similar instances.
 One of these came from Capt. Me Cabe, who said:-

A KINGS EXECUTION GARMENT
Sale Of the BIood-stnined Vest Worn by Charles I. When He Was
 Beheaded.

The sum of 200 guineas bid recently for the ''sky-colored vest' worn by King Charles I. on the scaffold is not am exorbitant price for a relic at once au- thentic and ghastly. Nothing is lack ing that might make a good Jacobite's flesh creep. The stains of blood have been religiously preserved by a success sion of royalist owners, and it has been pointed out that of the 13 buttonholes only 12 had been fastened The top button had been removed, so that the illustrieus victim might more easily bare his neck to the executioner.

AN ALASKA HORROR.
Greedy Indians Murder and Rob
 Prospectors.
Not Satisfied with ReasOnab1e Pay the Red Fiends Kill a Shipwrecked Crew of Whites-ManS
 Lives Lost.

The number of lives lost in the rush
 tc Alaska in the search for gold prob
 ably never will be known, and the man
 ner in which hundreds of persons have
 met death in the wilds of Alaska will
 ever remain the subject of speculation
 among friends and relatives. The latest
 reports tell of the fate of IS persons who are said to have been killed while trying to enter the mouth of the Kus- llollwim river last June on the little steamer Jesse. The story has just been brought from that section in a letter
 to Barneson and Chilcott, who were
 part owners in the wrecked steamer.
 The letter was written by hunter and trader on Nuinivak island. 100 miles from the mouth of the Koskok win, and in it he claims to have posi- tive information that all hands were rescued from the steamer and the barge when they went ashore in the brea kers, only to meet death at the bands of savagcs. According to Marsten's letter
 his wife. who is an Indian woman. paid a visit to her rela tives at the mouth of the Kuskokwin river shortly after the wreck of the Jesse. While there she attended a feast given by the Indians, during the progress of which the In- dians got drunk on a kind of liquor made by themselves. While indulging in the general debaucn they quarreled over the possession of certain articles taken from the shipwrecked crew.
 Her suspicious were aroused by see ing them in possession of many valu- able articles of wearing apparel, watches, breech-lcading rifles and abundant supplies of provisions.
 She made inquiries of her grand mother, an aged squaw, who related to her how, when the Jesse and the barge Minerva went ashore, the Indians as sisted in saving the whites and the cargo of the barge, and after the whites had established q camp the Indians de lnanded pay for their services. They wanted nearly everything the whites had. not leaving them enough to last the party through the winter. The whites offered a reasonable amount, which did not satisfy the Indians, who immediately began planning to take possession of everything.
 A council was held and it was decided to kill all the whites, which was done the next night while they were asleep. The bodies were taken to the sea in canoes and thrown overheard. Nothing was known of the fate of the unfor tunate prospectors for nearly a month after the wreck, when several bodies came ashore badly decomrosed. The Indians then reported that the Jesse ard the barge had been wrecked and all lost.
 Report was made to ali agent of the Alaska Commercial company, who vis- ited the scene and identified the bodies of Capt. Murphy and Rev Mir. Webber, a Moravian missionary. who with his wife and children joined the eXpedi- tion at Dutch Harbor and was going 10 establish a mission among the say ages who murdered him. Ii is further stated that the Kuskolwim Indians threaten to stop the whites from pros pecting in the Kuskollwim country, as hey claim it is their hunting and fish ing reserve.-Fort Townsend (Nash.) | 'Te1enror,

RICHES OF THE SOUDAN.
The Question in England Is How
 Soon the Country Can Be .z Made to Pay.

How soon can the Soudan be made to meet it's own share of expense and re- lieve the Egyptian exchcquer? It must prove, at first, a costly acquisi- ton. A numerous local force must be maintained, and although the Egyptian army estimates may be relieved by certain reduction of the native troops, the. military establishment in the Soudan will still constitute a severe tax, to which the province can contribute little, Even in more flourishiEg days. before it was wasted and GerOpulated by, the pitt less dervish rule. the Scudan was not particularly Frcductive; it's export trade did not exceed I f,000, eco, and it's chief product was gum arabic.

The same good re- suits may be seen higher up the river, at Abu Hamed and Berber, and all trade will be stimulated by the facilities offered by several routes-the new railway back to Wady Haifa. and the TOW reopened desert read to Suallin.

GENERA.

Came the order U Cervera: Put to sea-" And the signals from the Spanish flag ship fluttered; Decks were cleared and all the heavy guns cast free, While no word of plaint the noble foeman uttered.
 Sailing to annfhilation, On Cervera came, For the glory of his nation
 And the wreath of fame, Then our roar
 Shook the shore,
 And each Spanish keel
 Tn that main
 Felt the strain
 Of our bolts of steel. Wrapped were all our ships in battle flame and smoke; Stunned were all our ears by the inces- sant thunder: Forward like swift fox-hounds of the sea we broke, While the hunted Spanish foxes fled in But amid the awful rattle
 Of that steely rain.
 Strong Cervera watched the battle Mid his mounds of slain, Till his crew, Faint and few,
 Melted as the snow
 Of the hills,
 When the rills.
 Of the springtine flow. Wrecked and burned were all his proud and stately ships, Riven by our shot and opened to the bill low: Every hulk a winecup at the oceans lips, Every broken gun a seaman's gory pill low.
 So in one s1l-fateful hour,
 That should famous be, He beheld the Spanish power
 Smitten from that sea,
 Where of old
 Waved the bold
 Lion head of Spain, ss& Which shall roar ! NeVermore

THE MURISTAN.

The Muristan, the site of the new German church at Jerusalem, was granted to Germany by the sultan in 1869. It is in the middle of the city, near the Church of the Sepulchre. and no spot was richer in remains of the Latin domination-to say nothing of the Saracenic ruins. In the reports of the Palestine Survey there is photo graph of fine Gothic window by Lieut. Kitchener R. E.-to-day the sirdar. That window. together with portions of cloiStcrs. a belfry and a rich double doorway. belonged to the Church of St. Mary. built in 1f30. little earlier than the beautiful church outside the walls known as the Tomb of the Virgin. the gift Of Melisinda. wife of King Fulk. The bazars east Of the Muris- tan, notably the meat market. are medieval. and west of it lie buried be meath the soil the buildings of the great hcspice of the Knights of St. John.
 The kaiser will find at least one an- cient trace of German crusaders at Jerusalem. The Birket-es-Sultan was made by the Germans to water their horses, and was known in Latin times as the German Pool. Theodoricus men, lions it first. The greatest German work in the past was of course, the re- building of the walls of the city by Frederick IT., in 1929. But the em- peror's work lasted only ten years, when the walls were destroyed by Arab LGrdes under the emir of Kerak.-Lon- don Chronicle

DETAILS OF THE AFFAIR.

BULLETIN.
Manila, February 5, S:15 p. m.-The
long expected rupture between the
Americans and the Filipinos has come
at last. The former are now engaged
in solving the Filipino problem with
the utmost expedition possible.
The clash came at $40 yesterday
evening, when three daring Filipinos
darted past the Nebraska regiments
pickets at Santa Mesa, but retired
when challenged.
They repeated the experiment with
out drawing the sentries fire. But the
third time Corporal Greedy challenged
the Filipinos and then fired, killing one
of them and wounding another
Filipino line from Calvocan to Santa
Mesa commenced a fusilade which was
Intellectual.
The Nebraska, Montana and North
Dakota outposts replied vigorously and
held their ground until achievements
arrived.
The Filipinos in the meantime con-
centrated at three points, Calvocan, Ga
galangin and Santa Mesa.
At about l o'clock the Filipinos OPEN
ed a hot fire from all three places SIM
ultaneously. This was supplemented
by the fire of two siege guns at Balik-
Balik, and by advancing their skir-
mishers at Pace and Pandacan.
The Americans replied with terrific
fire, but owing to the darkness they
were unable to determine its effect.
The Utah light artillery finally sue
ceeded in silencing the native battery.
The Third artillery also did good
work on the extreme left.
The engagement lasted over an hour.

Special to the Register.

Charleston, w. Va, February Sit
appears TO be the deliberate purpose
of the Republicans in the Senate to ac-
complish the theft of the seat from
the Fourth district.
A B. White is manipulating the
strings, and Stephen B. Elkins is the
power that runs White, the automaton.
Elkins wants another Republican
holdoyer to assist in his reelection two
years hence. Whites reward will be-
his standing with the boss of all bosses
in this State, with the choice of lucra-
tive political plums thereunto apper-.
tanning.
1t was necessary to overcome the
majority of 141 for r. f. Kidd. The
expert accountants of the Republican
machine were assigned to the task.
They We're instructed to establish
pretext OF some sort for seating Nor
ris. Unseating by resolution was too
palpable political larceny. A doubt
was to be thrown about the matter to
gain the support of Republican Sena-
torres who are burdened with con-
science. There are fair minded men,
bers of the upper House who can rec
ognize theft in any guise, and who
will not be blinded by craftsmanship in
the Kidd-Morris case.
will hA CT
row to ascertain how many of these
will refuse to stultity themselves. II
it is ascertained that the unseating of
Kidd will fail in the Senate, because
of Republican opposition. he will be
permitted to retain the seat to which
he was legally elected. This is Kids
only hope.
Senators White and Smith, the two
Republicans who went to Wood coun-
ty and performed the hocus-pocus act
on the disputed ballots, returned to-
day. They wiped out 70 of Kids ma
jority in the district, leaving him II.
What next? was the query which sug-
gested itself to Democrats.
Read the answer in Senator Anthony
Smith:
"The committee will have other ey-
idence in the shape of dispositions
concerning the illegality of certain
other votes" he said to the Register
reporter.
The certain other votes" to be re-
jected were cast in a strongly Demo-
cratic precinct in Writ county. A ma
jority of the election commissioners
were Republicans. II Is alleged that
the polls closed at three o'clock. This
is the Republican contention, and it
is denied by the Democrats. No evil
dence has been taken in the matter.
The precinct gave Kidd majority of
70. Eureka! A very simple mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation makes the unssat-
ing of Kidd as easy as childs' play.
The precinct is to be thrown out, and,
prestol Morris Is elected by two votes.
It makes no difference that the voters
in that precinct are disfranchised.
What's the use Of conscience when
Steve Elkins' election in 1901 is at
stake?
But as has been stated before, there
is. conscience in the Senate. r. E.
Fast, OF Morgantown, for instance, Is
man who regards personal probity
as paramount to craftsmanship. He has
intimated that he VIII say something
when the report reaches the Senats.
1t will be something more creditable
to his manhood than TO his PARTISAN
ship. Senator Whitaker has frequent
" asserted his personal independence.
He also has pronounced views upon
the subject Of political larceny and
