Richard T. Harris First Trip
 to the Metropolis.
LIFE TIME IN ALASKA
Oldest Miner in the District - Was Q Utscoverer of Colorado and Mon tAna, Recording the First Claim in the Latter Territory.

Richard T. Harris, discoverer of Juneau's placer fields and founder of that thriving little city, Is an interesting visitor in Skag- way. MT. Harris is one of Alaska's old est pioneers having spent more than twen- ey years in the district. He has seen Alaska grow from a wild uninhabted re- glon, visited only by trappers and fur tra- ders, into one of the greatest gold produc- ing sections of the world, with its coast dotted by modern cities, containing all con. vsniences of twentieth century civilization.
 It was twenty years' ago last August, that MT. Harris and Joseph Juneau. a French Canadian, discovered Silver Bow basin four miles back of Juneau and loca- ted the townsite where that city now stands. The town was named Harrisburg and retained tha! name for four years, The mining district was called Harris, which name it still bears.
 Mr. Harris says he named the city for the capital of Pennsvlvania in which state he was raised, but to everybody else the name stood for old Dick Harris. Sil> yer Bow basin was named for similar basin of that name in Montana one of the greatest producing camps in the nation the one upon which Butte depends for its existence. MT. Harris was in the first stampede to the Silver Bow basin in Mon- tana. In fact he recorded the first mining claim in Montana in July. 1862, being with the first miners who discovered gold at East Bannock in what was then Mon tana territory He was also one of the first dIscoverers of gold in Colorado in 1859.

Claim Church Property.

New York, Far pa special to the
Herald from Washington says: Presi-
dent Mckinley has determined to leave
to the new Philippines commission the
question of the disposition of church
property in he archipelago. The COM
mission will consult with the municipal
officials relative to the action to be taken
and the status of the friars who remain
in the islands will also be determined
At the same time the administration will
have to decide what shall be done with
church property in the islands of Porto
Rico, and the claims of the Catholic
clergy both there and in the Philippines
for the continuance of the support they
and which the clergy asserts is guaran-
teed them by the treaty Of Paris.
These questions are embarrassing to
the administration, especially as they are
raised on the eve of the presidential
campaign, inc there is no desire on the
part of the officials to AXE any action
which may be offensive to the Catholic
voters of the country. While no formal
claims have as yet been preferred by rep
resentatives of the Catholic church for
restoration to the church of certain
public buildings and lands in Porto
Rico, General Davis understands that it
is the intention to claim ownership to
several aluable structures in San Juan
and to ask for the surrender of the prop
erty. These edifices, it is asserted. be-
longed originally to certain religious
orders, but We're taken possession of by
Spain, held as public property and finally
transferred as such to the United States.

PaunCefOte to Retire.

New York, Jan. pa special to the
Herald from Washington says: 1t is
now considered as settled at the British
embassy that Lord Pauncefota will re-
tire as ambassador of Great Britain to
the United States on April l next. There
have Deer reports that Lord Pauncefote's
period of service would, in view of the
South African war. be extended another
year, but so far as recent advices indi-
cate, this will not be the case. Lord
Pauncefote's departure will make Baron
Fava, the Italian ambassador, the dean
of the diplomatic corps here.
Lord PauncefOte's SUCCESSOR has not
been selected, according to report. There
are two especially available men-Mr.
.SandersOn, under secretary of state, who
holds the position occupied by Lord
Pauncefote before his transfer to WASH
ington. and who is a brother of the Brit
ish consul general in New York, and Sir
Henry Howard, minister of Great Brit
ain to the Netherlands. In diplomatic
circles it is believed hat the British gov
eminent will incline toward an official
familiar with questions pending between
the United States and Great Britain and
one calculated to Increase the friendly
relations now existing.

London Finances.

New York, Jan. 29.-The Times London
financial cablegram says: Has the bot
tom been reached? That is the question
is reasonable to suppose that it has, for.
after the bank rates We're reduced to 4
per cent on Thursday the open market
began to harden. On Wednesday three
months bank bilss could now and then be
discounted at a fraction under 3 per cent,
Saturday the rate was passing firm at
IA. Short loans have not risen above 3
per cent, but they are sure to follow dis
counts if the r~enudation of balance con-
tinues. There, however, is the doubtful
point.
In the last fortnight the open market
has lost upwards of ga, 500, 900 through the
collection of revenue and THE repayments

ment, which has fioOde the market with
1900, 900 in new credit procured from the
bank, will release the regular amounts
and thus restore the money taken away,
Or part of it.
1t is consequently probable hat the
market may ease dow again, and as all
the continental markets are falling, a
period of low rates might be considered
assured. The bank of Germany's note

Pacific detectives, headed by Tom Horn,

after a desperate fight killed both of
them. One of the pursuing party was
shot but it is thought not seriously. IT
is known that the robbers separated in
two gangs after leaving the railroad and
the men killed were those who were trail

afterwards escaped. 1t is supposed that

After a Running Fight in
Quincy, Illinois.
EXPERT SAFE BLOWERS
Two of Them Were Shot to Death
While the Third Was Wounded
and Captured-All of Them Had
Skeleton Keys With Them.

Quincy, ILL.,, Jan. 2S.-Quincy police off,
GERS last night killed two expert safe
blowers, supposed to be from Chicago.
and wounded another badly. The tragedy
included a running fight through a hotel
into which the arned burglars were pur-
sued by the officers. The rler are De-
lieved to be those who recently operated
in Illinois cities, making a speciality OF
cracking safes in building ana loan
offices.
On u 6 the safe of the Adams
Loan and Building association was blown
open at the noon hour and cash securities
amounting to $1,000 were taken. Satur-
day three men came to Boecker's hotel
and registered from Kansas City. The
proprietor recognized their handwriting
as being the same as that of the men
who were here on January 5, and VINO
were afterward suspected of being
crooks. He warned the police. and when
one went out he was Swallowed by Detec-
tive Koch. The stranger acted queerly
and the officer finally appeared,
his star and asked the suspect to go to
the station and explain himself.
The ma drew a pistol and pointed at
the officers heart, but as he did so Koch
flashed his w and fired four shots.
Three took effect and the man fell dead.
This happened at II o'clock Saturday
night. Meanwhile the officers had exam
ined the baggage of the suspects and
found that it included burglar tools. skel-
t keys, dynamite sticks and nitro
glycerine. When the other two men re-
turned to the hotel at 2 o'clock they
learned of the tragedy and found the
hotel surrounded by officers. They ran
into the hotel saloon and loaded their re-
volvers. Then there was a runnig fire in
the hotel corridors. One man reached
the street, pursued by Chief of Police
John A. Hearn. He turned to fire, and
as he did so Hearn fired a bullet through
his skull. He died in a few minutes.
The third man was shot by Officer
Charnhorst as he was running up stans,
and san to the floor with a broken hip.
He was captured, but refused to say VINO
his ~accomplices We're.
The men were all we'll dressed, had dia-
monds and other jewelry and plenty of
money. Skeleton keys were found on all
of them. When the two men came here
on January 5 they registered as J. nj.
Burt and H. F. Crowley. Saturday Burt
was registered as c. II. Rogers. From
letters found on him it appears that he
also has the name Of c. Fl. Prince of Chi
cago The wounded man refused to give
his name The three men are believed to
be three of tn best workers in the coun-
try.
