UNPRECEDENTED CASE.
Attorney General Griggs mercedes to Save the Life of an Alaskan
 Indian Murderer.

New York, Nov. 15~A special to the Sun from Washington says: The attorney general recommended to the President today that the sentence of death passed upon James Hansen be commuted to imprisonment for life. Hansen is an Alaskan Indian, who, with ten Indian companions, murder ed Burt and Florence Horton, young bride and bridegroom, who were on a vacation trip near Skagway, Alaska, about year ago.
 In his plea for the communication of the sentence Attorney General Griggs says: "The circumstances of the case are most extraordinary and de- serve a special chapter in the annals of remarkable cases. It is a case in which the prisoner, having conceived and executed a brutal and savage murder on peaceable and inoffensive people, without detection or proba- bility of detection, or accusation, months after his offense, voluntarily, by his own confession and admission of facts, submitted himself to the judge of court and to the sentence of death"
 The trial judge in letter to the at torney general says: His entire con duct during the trial of other individ- uals convinced me of the honesty of his confession and the purity of the motives that induced it. That he was moved by a high religious fervor there can be no doubt. At the last act of the drama, when I reluctantly passed the sentence of death upon him, in answer to the usual question why sen tence of death should not be pro nomced, he answered with undaunted heroism, a benignant smile on his face, My brother, I have done my duty; now do yours Such rare for titude I have never before witnessed"
 In closing his recommendation for communication the attorney general says: "Hansen was an unenlightened, unchristianized savage. As soon as his conscience had been enlightened by the teachings of religious society, with a rare devotion to the standard of duty raised up ill his heart, he made an immediate disclosure and confes- sion of his crime, and submitted him self to the hands of the law. This case is one of exceptional circumstan- ces. I think this sentence can wisely be commuted to imprisonment for life"

SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN ENTER
 PRISE.

The latest discovery of American enterprise in England is in the boot and shoe trade. Daily the American article is gaining headway. One agent, after three years work, got twelve hundred large customers, his turn over this year amounting to many thousand pounds. According 10 the Daily Mail the ability of the American firms to compete so sue cessfully is chiefly due the superiority of the American lasts, which are modelled on the human feet, and also to the large outputs of well-regulated factories, in which work is done by the piece instead of on time, as pre- vails in Great Britain, with the latest machinery.

Our Batteries Superior.

Washington, Nov. 19.-As a result of disparaging criticisms upon our field guns in China, Adjutant General Corbin addressed a query to General Chaffee, which elicited the following reply:
 "Our battery was better than any other in the campaign. The German battery just arrived has some features superior to ours, The powder charge in the case is fired like a pistol and more rapid. The brake arrangement is also better. Our battery was highly praised, especially by General Linevitch, who said he felt like taking off his hat whenever he saw it. No battery was so effective as ours in the attack on Peking. CHAFFEE."

Was AlVord KilIed7

It is believed that Burt Alvord, the COchise train robber, ex-deputy sheriff and ex-constable, has died a violent death. While hunting near the reser- voir north of Casa Grande last Tues day, Nose Drachman and a party of friends came upon a human skull. There were bones scattered about and near by was a small fragment of brown cotton cloth, like that of which hunting coats are made. The skull and bones had been cleaned by coyo- tes, and did not have the appearance of having been long exposed to the sun or rain.
 The skull was taken back to Casa Grande, where it was recognized by Jack Mccoy as the remains of the head piece of Alvord. One mark of identification was a decayed and pc culiarly formed tooth, and another was mark about two inches long on the side. Alvord had a deep and plainly visible scar on the left side of the head, the result of blow with a sharp edged instrument of some kind, which had cut through the seal p and perhaps left an indentiOn in the skull.
 About three months ago Alvord and William Stiles were in hiding in that part of the country, and it was at Casa Grande that Stiles surrendered to Charley Hood. Since shortly be fore the surrender of Stiles, nothing has been heard of AlvOrd.
 His long silence has already given rise to a suspicion that he was dead, probably murdered by Stiles. Re publican.
