is INSANE. SURE ENOUGH.
Head Physician at Asylum Passes on
Hllstrom's Mental Condition.

The question Of the mental condition
Of Matt Hilstrom, who killed Lake
Mooers at Lewis and Clark last week,
has been passed upon by the authori-
ties at the state insane asylum at sa-
lem.
In answer TO an inquiry DIR. VIII
hanson, the oldest asylum physician
In point OF service, said that there
could be no doubt that Hilstrom is in
sane, The usual symptoms of insanity
are observed, and while the patient is
not violent his actions show that he
is demented. Hilstrom win be kept in
the most secure wards at the asylum
In order that he may have no oppor-
tunity 70 do mischief.
The precautions taken against pos
sible attempts on the part Of Hilstrom
to do any further murderous work are
in line with the urgent recommended
tions of member of the lunacy COM
mission before which Hilstrom was ex-
amined in this city. The only devia-
tion Is that It was this physicians $
opinion that Hilstrom should be in
carcerated in some place of detention
throughout the remaining years Of his
life.

THE BELMoNTs STORMY TRIP.
Seventy Days of Hurricane and Ter
rife Gales.

A story of terrific weather is told by
Captain T. A. Ladd Of the British bark
Belmont, which arrived in from Ma
nila, by way Of Hong Kong, yester-
day. THE weather was so bad that
we were obliged to go away out Of our
natural course" said the captain,
starting across of the coast of Japan.
Gale succeeded gale during the 20 days
Of our trip. On January hurricane
sprang up, and the glass went down
to 2S.1O. The wind was simply awful;
II couldn't have blown harder. We
lost nearly all of our sails which made
our trip exceedingly difhcult." The
captain says Manila is in a frightful
condition, commerce being absolutely
at a standstill. While he was laying
in the harbor he could frequently hear
the booming Of cannon in the noun
tains off in the distance. But" said
the captain, the Manila men are not
worrying much, for they are expecting
a great deal from Uncle Sans COM
merce when the war Is over" The
experiences of the Belmont were prac-
tically duplicated with the steamer
Tee in North Pacific waters, the vessel
having just reached Victoria. The Tee
left Victoria two weeks ago Tuesday,
entering the Lynn canal in due season.
although she had experienced bad
weather from Wrangel Narrows north.
In Lynn canal terrible blizzard was
blowing and Captain Gosse decided to
spend the night in William Henry bay,
45 miles from Skaguay. The storm in
creased during the night and was
blowing big guns, carrying clouds of
snow with it when daylight broke in
the morning. At $50. finding that
anchors were dragging, and that there
was danger of the steamer being
driven on the rocks, Captain Gosse
rang to the engineer for full steam
ahead, and hoisting his anchors start
ed in the teeth of the storm. 1t was
hard fight, lasting all day, but the
brave little steamer won out and land
ed her passengers safely in Skagway.
During the trip Captain Gosse and
Pilot Steele, who were on the bridge
all day, could not discern the shores
of Lynn canal, so thick was the snow
falling, or, rather, being driven, as
a biting wind was blowing donw the
canal, The officers rubbed each others
faces in snow to keep them from freez-
ing. When the schooner reached
Skagway she was one mass Of ice.
