bearing bed of the sea in the vicinity of
Cape Nome, Alaska, or in other Alaskan
waters, have been made to any individ-
ual, corporation, or association by the
secretary Of war or any other war de-
partment official, and if so upon what
theory Of authority such grant was
made. + f.,
In response to an inquiry as to the in
formation which had prompted the res
olution, Mr.. Turner said he had been
informed by the governor of Alaska,
who is now in the city, that the war
department. had granted exclusive rights
to certain persons to mine the bed of
the sea near Cape Nome.
IF this is true," he said, cit is a
shame, a reproach and scandal" = :
The resolution was agreed to.
The bill to provide civil code for the
District of Alaska was then taken up
for consideration.

rected to showing that the permit sys-

force of Workmen in the mines The
witness maintained. however, that its
effect was to blacklist those who did not

d CHICAGO, March %. - Thirty persons
were injured shortly after a. m. by
the falling Of a freight elevator, in the
rear Of the building at 1876 Market street,
where the victims Of the accident were
employed by the Blakely Printing com
pany.
The men had worked all night in the
printing shop and had crowded into the
elevator at the top floor. The big ele-
vator moved slowly down the shaft till
the third floor was reached. Then, ac-
cording to Harry Olson, who had taken
hold Of the rope which set the machine
going, something snapped, and an in
stant later the elevator, filled with It's
mass Of agonized victims, crashed into
the basement. 5s .i s5.
First aid to the injured" work was
done in neighboring buildings into
which the victims were taken, but it
was some time before sufficient mum
ber of ambuiances were secured to re.
move the injured to their homes, or, in
the more serious cases, to the hospital.

some misunderstanding regarding Lord

rs A DEAD SHOT.

Man Who Assassinated Goebel Said to Be
Certain Notorious nIulatto.
LOUISVILLE, March 22.-The stories
growing out of the conference between
Sergeant 3. Wharton Golden Of the
Barboursville company of the state
militia and the attorneys who are man
aging the investigation Of the assassina-
ton Of Governor Goebel have caused a
sensation throughout the state. Golden
Will be placed on the stand by the prose
cution in the trial Of the persons already
arrested for alleged completely in the
assassination, but information as to the
exact nature Of testimony he is expected
to give is lacking. Specials from Win
chester say Golden is still at that place
In company with his attorney. The
two spend most Of the time about the
hotel. They see all callers, however,
and talk freely on all subjects except
that of Golden g reported confession.
/ 5tsI will do all I can for my friends all
the time, Golden is reported as saying.
5H.But I must first be true to myself.
\ When the time comes will tell all I
know. Whatever else may be said
about me / don't think can be accused
Of being a liar, a coward or Democrat,
and want it distinctly understood that
I am not here under guard. .
s # The Man who Fired the Shot.
The story is published that Golden
has divulged to the attorneys the name
Of the man who fired the shots that
killed Governor Goebel The person
mentioned is a mulatto who formerly
lived at Winchester, was prominent in
the French Everso1e feud and is known
as q dead shot. This man is now sup
posed to be in the wilds Of one Of the
mountain counties. Evidence that he
was in Frankfort at the time Of the as
sassination was found among papers
taken from Coulton, clerk in the
auditors Office, when. the latter was ar
rested q week or SO ago on warrant
charging him with being an accessory
to the murder. Among these papers
are receipts for board bills amounting
to about $500 incurred by 18 men who
were in Frankfort for some time before
and at the time Goebel was shot. In
one of these receipts the name Of the
mullatto mentioned is given. The re-
ceipt in this case is for money received
from John Perkins by Bettina Pittnan
for the board Of three men. Perkins is
a. porter about the statehouse. 5tsGls

GROWN I COLONIES.

Dutch Republics to Be Administered as
Such IF England Gains Control.
LONDON, March 2s. e.. While there is a
1ull in the military operations the pres
sent surroundings Of the war show inter-
Sesting developments. The colonial Of
( flee has telegraphed to Cape Town the
I text Of the oclamation concerning the
4 destruction Of property. This will not
be published in London until after its
PRONUNCIATION in South Africa, but it is
known it will convey an intimation
that any wanton destruction Of British
property during the war will be re-
garded as aswarranting q claim for COM
pensation and as justif ying a levy upon
private property should the resources Of
the Transyaal republic prove made
8quate. @ 5.,55 81
The fact that the proclamation is is
sued by the colonial Office is regarded
as a significant indication that the re-
pubIcs will be- admin nistered as crown
colonies. In this connection it is un-
derstood that the leaders Of the opposi-
tion in parliament now admit that no
other settlement is possible since the
republics insist upon their demand for
absolute independe dence IN view Of this
the efforts Of the Liberals win be CON
fined to
Securing In the settlement
the best treatment for the Dutch popu-
lation, including security against pre-.
acknowledgements. II
Il is becoming regarded as quite a
settled matter that should the war be
ended, as is now hoped, before June
the government will dissolve parlia-
ment and appeal to the country on the
basis of b stated South African policy.
Should the war drag on dissolution will
be postponed until next spring. In any
event one Of the foremost planks Of the
government platform will be army re-
organization,
There is no further information as to.
the movements of Sir Alfred Miner It
lis regarded as certain, however, that he
has gone to Bloemfo fontein to arrange

that General Bnller's forward move
