DEATH ENDS THE QUEST.
Gold Seekers Perish MiserabIy in
Alaskan Fields.
ATTEMPT TO SCALE A GLACIER

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 2s.-The
steamer Cottage City, from Alaska,
brings news that a number of Copper
river prospectors persisted in Valdez
glacier. The following are known to
have been lost: Charles Khron, New
York city; c. P. Smith, Chicago; Ole
Evjen, Baldwin, Wis; - Henderson,
Wisconsin; George Sweesey, New York
Among the very badly frozen miners
are: George Poalowitz, New York
city; Sylvester Gregg, st. Joseph, Mo-;
Holver Evjen, Baldwin, Wis. There
are six men at Valdez, suffering from
frozen feet, hands and faces. A hos
pital has been established at Twelve
Mile camp, on the other side of the
glacier, and fifteen men are suffering
there from the same cause. All were
frozen trying to cross the glacier, but
managed to get back into camp.
The freezing of the Evjens, father and
son, is particularly sad They started
for Valdez, but on getting well toward
the summit of the glazler found their
feet freezing. Both started back. The
son gave his father extra wrapping
for his feet, and as result froze both
legs in few minutes and was unable
to proceed. He babe his father good
by and compelled him to go on with
out him. Then the boy lay down in
the snow to die His body will prob
ably never be recovered. The father
reached Twelve Mile camp very badly
frozen, and is not expected to live.

Gregg, one of the victims of the VAL
DEE glacier, Alaska, is a printer, aged

Fighting the Salary Inv.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. %. The general
fee and salary bill passed by the Leg
islature in 1897 is being vigorously at
tackled all along the line. No effort is
being made to repeal the law as a
whole, but the same end is being
sought in another way-by passing
local bills. Bills exempting this or
that county from the provisions of
the general law have been introduced
by the wholesale. If they all go
through, the general law will be prac-
tically a dead letter. The largest
lobby now here is that of county Of
ficers.

Encourage the doctors. You praise
the doctor when he brings you up from

Novelties in Invention.

Recently a disappointed lnven-
tor lamented the decay of Ameri-
can ingenuity because of the
alleged supineness of the Wash
ington Patent Office and the
greater security and protection
given by it to foreign inventors
abroad, but this dlscouraging
view is not sustained by the
facts. So far from declining
in number and variety, there
seems to have been a decided ms
crease in the development of ms
genious or curious devices SUBJ
mitted 10 the Government for
entry and register.
For instance, a Vermont man
has applied for letters patent on
a mechanical device under the
workings of which a bell rings
automatically when the water
IN which eggs are boiled reaches
the ebullition point.
An inventor at Helena, Mon,
has patented a horseshoe sharp
ener. Two ladies of Harrisburg,
in Pennsylvania, have patented,
jointly, asserting maids step
ladder" guaranteed not to upset
when in use. A Wisconsin man
has patented a collapsible coffin,
separated into subsections and
as portable as a handsatchel.
A Minnesota man has patented a
disappearing visor or peak where
by mechanically a soldiers hat
may be turned into a polo cap by
pressing a button to be found
over the left ear. A more practi>
Cal invention is that Of an axe the
handle of which is held in posi-
ton by a roughened metal handle
hole which makes "slipping off"
impossible. and Rhode Islander
has devised an electric nail the
attractive power of the head of
which gives inordinate power to
the hammer. As yet we have
heard of no patent for any con-
trivance to prevent stovepipes
from separating into their Gus
tomary joints when handled by
a householder. Obviously, then,
there has been no decadence in
Americans of the patenting habit,
and assertions to the contrary
are not more credible than the
war news of a Kafir runner.

Aguinaldo's Flight.

Wherever Aguinaldo may be
in northern Luzon, he is not
among his tribesmen or friends,
for he has been forced out Of the
densely peopled lowlands where
| the Tagals live and is wandering
among moutains and valleys with
Which he Is not familiar. There
is some reason to believe that he
is following the coast northward
into the province of South Ilocos,
and Gen. Wheaton is going up
the west coast by transport to
Vigan to cut off the insurgents
retreat in that direction.
This province is inhabited by
the Ilocanos, who populate rather
thickly the narrow strip Of the
west coast between the mountains
and the sea and have little in
common with the Tagals, except
that both groups are nominally
Roman Catholic. In time of
peace the North Luzon steamer
line from Manila has made regus
lar trips up this coast, stopping
at two or three small ports on
the way to Apart on the north
side of Luzon. The only Tagals
in that region are those who may
be following A~guinaldo, and
the two groups of people speak
different languages. None of
the rivers has importance for
navigation, but a number Of vii
lagos are situated at the points
where they enter the sea, and if
the insurgent leader finds him.
self hemmed in he may visit one
of these towns and try to make
his exit from Luzon on one of the
small sailboats that ply along
the coast.
If he turn to the east into the
mountains he will find himself
among the "Infeles." or Infdels,
as the Spaniards called the tribes
that had little to do with Spain
and practised their old pagan
rites. They are not numerous
in North Luzon and a part of the
mountain area is uninhabited.
It is not a good place for a fugi-
tive to linger who has no base Of
supplies within easy reach. If
he descend from the mountains
to the headstreams of the Caga-
pan River he will find a small
admixture of Tagals and also a
disagreeable prevalence of United
States troops: and If he avoid
these pursuers by striking the
valley further north he will be
the unwelcome guest of the Igor
rotor and their kindred, Or of
the Cagayances along the lower
part of the Cagayan River and
the north coast. In fact, Agui-
naldo is among people VINO
neither admit his k1nship nor

He maintained that England bases hel

point, that England has not treated the

Affirmative. England, he said, did not

a right to interfere. but his argument
had little weight.
The next Harvard speaker was N aver.

England interferred because of the right
Of any country to look after her own in

Weston closed Prinoeton's case. He first
defined suzerainty as he had used thu
word and then went on to claim that the
Beers had made every effort to treat on a
fair basis. He weak sned his argu ment by
needless repetitions.
Morse the last speaker made the best
speech Of the evening. He sifted the ar
guments throughout. claiming that the
condition of affairs was intoierabls,
and secondly that England had the right
TO interfere. There be left Haryard's case.
