"A Terrible Experience.

a letter written at Teller, Alaska, July
25d, was this week received from c. A.
Densmore. He ates that Teller is quite
place : has "A fine harbor, and a promis-
ing country surrounding it. The creeks
IN that district have not been sufficiently,
prospected to determine the value of the
placer deposits, but Mr.. Densmore be-
lieyes them to be alright. He found
pretty fair prospect on Deer creek where
he camped for several days, His mission
Is to look up some good property for his
company. He had left his partners at
Nome five days before and was on a fly
Ing trip to secure some ground they had
in view and he states that he believes to
be on the right track and that he will be
successful.
While at Teller he saw the most grue-
some sight imaglnable-a picture of hard
ship and s arvat1on he will not soon for
get. Three prospectors had just been
found who had been without food for %
days. During all this time they had
snbsisted entirely on roots, and two of
them were mere living skeletons. One
OF the party had died the day before and
when the unfortunate men were discover
ed by the prosnectors they were in the
act of preparing "A meal from flesh of their
dead companion. They had piece of
flesh boiling in a pot when rescued, and
it seemed as if by an act of providence
that they were fonnd before eating of the
flesh OF their dead partner. The two
survivors, it was expected, would recover
with proper nursing, which was given
them at Teller The dead man was a
Mason and his remains were taken in
charge by the fraternity and taken to
Nome for burial, according to a request
dictated by him and written down by
one his partners before he died. He was
from Ohio and leaves family.
Mr. Densmore writes that it was a
sight he will never forget The party
had been face to face with by far the
most appal ing picture that human eyes
ever gazed upon-A human body with
the bone laid bare and confronted with
the realization that the missing flesh
which once encased it had by necessity
been used to keep the spark of life in
the dying body OF d comrade. One look
was sufficient and made stout men turn
AWAY.

MAJOR DoYEN's SENTENCE.

Reprimanded.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The charges
and specifications upon which Major
Charles A. Doyen, fleet marine officer
of the North Atlantic squadron, who
was tried by courtmartial recently at
Newport, with the findings of the
court sentencing him to lose two num-
bers and be publicly reprimanded, to-
gether with the action of the review
ing authority in the department here,
have been published in general or
de-s. The reprimand authorized by
the court is contained in the follow
ing endorsement of Acting Secretary
Hackett:
IAN officer should be deeply morti-
fled by the publication of an order an
nouncing to the service the fact of his
trial by general courtmartial and a
finding that he has been incapacitated
for the performance OF duty by reason
of Indulgence iii alcoholic stimulantS.
Such publication will be regarded as
a sufficient performance Of the duty
imposed upon the department by the
court, namely: That Major Doyen be
reprimanded by the secretary of the
navy"

UNIVERSAL PEACE.

JUSTICE BREWER of the supreme
~ court is represented to have the
opinion that war will be abandoned be-
C luse Of the grow ng moral sense of the
! world and M. de Bolch, the distinguish
ed Russian, says that universal peace
will come because war is so destructive
that nations cannot afford to engage in it,.
The latter is the less Eoble motive, but
it proba bly, is the more powerful. The
cost of a war in these days is SO enormous
that any nation may well hesitate to re-
sort to it as means of redressing an in
jury or protecting right. Diploma1ists
will seek by every means in their power
to reach an agreement without resort
to force rs long as they are confronted
with statistics showing the enormous cost
Of some modern wars.
Great Britain would have taken a diff
ferent course in dealing with the Beers
if il had appreciated what tho war would
involve. Almost every nation is burden
ed with war debt Of some kind. Inter-
est must be paid on obligations contract
ed by a past generation for the purpose
of waging war, and there are rations
that are almost bankrupt, so great is the
burden Of their Indebtedness
The great cost of wars, the enormous
destruction of life and property, and the
elevation of mankind in moral sentiment
and in intelligence combine to prevent
War, and thus TO establish the era of uni
versal peace. 1t cannot come too soon
for the welfare of mankind, for there is
no truth IN the statement that war is
needed to awaken the energies and the
spirit Of nation-at least not in the case
of a nation which is enlightened, pro-
gressive and enterprlsing in the arts of
peace.

London. Aug. 6-Describing the
disorder attending the Servian elec-
tions the Vienna correspondent OF
The Morning Leader says:
'The Servian government used
troops and gendarmes freely to in
timidate the electors of the opposl,
tion. At Gradishte the voters were
driven in by gendarmes with cattle
whips and compelled to vote for the
government candidates. At Sagubica
voters were brought in irons to the
polls. This intimidation caused riots
in various places and 200 persons all
told were injured.''

stroye,j by Fire.
Kansas City, Aug. 6.-Exposition
building. erected during the boom OF
1887 at cost of over 100000, was
destroyed by fire in less than two
hours. The fire started shortly after
l O'Clock. A boy among crowd
gathered to watch a circus across the
street set fire in a spirit of mischief
to some loose rubbish on the floor
In a moment the flames leaped beyond
control, spreading almost instantly
throughout the whole building, which
occupied half block.
Soon the whole structure was g
roaring furnace. Hundreds of peoplt
had gathered for the circus per
formance and for time a wild panic
prevailed. The circus hands were
called out, however, jand quickly re
stored order and Everybody was
moved to place of safety. No one
was injured.
Exposition building was situated at
Twelfth street and Kansas avenue
three miles from the center of the
city. It had not been occupied for 10
years. Recently it was sold to a syn
dicate which had planned to raze il
on next Saturday with dynamite tc
make way for modern buildings.

centage of which is dependent upon
manufacturing interests, is some what
doubtful from the fact that Cuba pre-
sents little or no possibility of ever be-
coming IA manufacturing center. In a
measure, the comparison with Massachu-
sptts is also faulty. for the same reason.
Yet, in the latter case, the vastly greater

EOR several weeks past the Call has

work of Assessor r. F. Hypes and appeal
