FROZEN ON THE TRAIL
PARTIAL CONFIRMATION OF RECENT
REPORTS FROM ALASKA.
Many GoIdseekers Reported to Have
Perished or suffered Severe
~ from the Cold.

SEATTLE. Wash. April 23.--Partial con-
firmation of recent reports of many deaths
by freezing were received to-day. The
Nome Gold Digger of Jan. 90 says: Mr..
PeltOn. of Oakland. Cal, one of the most
esteemed young pioneers of Alaska, was
frozen on the trail on the night of Jan. l
near Solomon. Dan Anderson left here
for Nome about four weeks ago and has not
been heard of since. 1t is feared that he
rerished in the New Years blizzard. DIR.
w. +. Baum persisted while carrying med
ical assistance to a sick miner. DR.. Baum
left Nome on June p last. He was a ma
tive of Mobile, Ala, and saw service In
the Cuban war. This afternoon United

"A horrible story was told at the Cham
Der of Commerce meeting Monday night of
sixteen men and a woman huddled to-
gether in a manned and mutilated condition
from frost bite in a cabin on Pilgrim river,
and with the added horror of starvation
facing them. Generous individuals and
companies donated money and food. An
appeal TO the military was resolved upon,
and within two hours an emergency supply
Of food was flying over the trail by moon
light, drawn by swift dogs. The next day
a number of the victims arrived in town
and told their story. Some OF them were
badly frost-bitten and had endured severe
hardships. DIR. Tam was frozen to death

PRIVATE POSTAL SERVICE.
Messenger Company Running in Oppo-
sit:on to Uncle Sam.

OMAHA. Neb. April 23.-Postofice Of
fcials who have been investigating the at
tempt of a messenger company doing bust
ness in a number of the larger cities In the
country to compete will the United States
mails have decided to drop the matter for
the present and await developments. The
concern has offices in most of the large
cities of the United States, and its opera
lions cover the handling of frst-class mail
at about one-half the rate charged as reg
ular first-class postage. 1t Is said the con-
Germ contracts with firms throughout the
country TO handle mail between the large
cities and deliver it to the persons adj
dressed. BY sending this class of mail in
bulk it is able to handle it at a rate which
is said to defy competition.
The facts were submitted TO the attorney
of the department having in charge viola
tions of the postal laws, who gives an
opinion that the operations of the concern
cannot be interfered with SO long as 1T does
not operate regular delivery routes and
makes regular collections of mail. The
case is attracting widespread attention,
and may have the effect Of revolutionizing
the handling Of mails.

M. DELCASSE ALARMED
ALLEGED REASON OF III FRENCH
PREMIER'S VISIT TO RUSSIA.
Somebody HOaxed Him by Saying
Britain and Germany Intended
to War Against France.

ST. PETERSBURG. April
speculation concerning the visit here of NJ.
Delcasse. the French minister OF foreign
affairs, is apparently not formed from au-
thentic reports. One version. which Is told
with the greatest positiveness. in spite of
its inherent improbability, is to the effect
that the French government has received
from an unnamed source what purported to
be a plan for a British German war against
France, supposedly in some colonial
district. NJ. Delcasse, ii is added, COM
municated the contents of the plan to the
Russian ambassador at Paris. Prince Cur
ousoff, who, however. laughed incredu-
lously, pronouncing the project a hoax. NJ.
Delcasse is said to have been not satisfied
and TO nave wired Count Lamsdorff, the
Russian foreign minister, asking if it would
be agreeable for him to come to St. Peters,
burg and discuss matters. Count Lams-
dorff consulted with the Emperor, who
gave an affirmative reply.
NJ. Delcasse has presented Count Lams-
dorff with the grand Gordon of the Legion
OF Honor. Count Lamsdorff entertained M.
DelcasSe at dinner to-day.

ANTI-GERMAN SENTIMENT.


BERLIN, April 2S.-Recent utterances of
the Russian press give the German papers
an opportunity to discuss Russo-German
relations and even the Russophile journals
admit the existence of a strong anti-Ger-
man sentiment among the organs of Rus
sian opinion of late. The Kleine Journal.
which is persistently Russophile, admits
regretfully that Germany's relations con-
tinue strained.
An article in the st. Petersburg We'd
mosti, Prince UchtOmsky's paper. attracts
general attention. The Kreuz Zeitung
publishes the full text, showing that the
t~elegraphed abstract of il was greatly
toned down. whereas the article is herceiy
anti-German. The National Zeitung, which
also reprints the article. comments in a
similar strain.
When the attention Of official circles was
called to-day specifically to the attitude of

"GRANTED THE USE Of"



LONDON, April 2S.-Mrs. Hartman. to
whom King Edward has granted the use
of White Lodge" (Richmond Park is not
an American and has no connection with
America, as cabled TO a New York news
paper. The phrase, granted the use Of" is
liable to misconception. As a matter of
fact. Mrs. Hartman has taken a long lease
of the White Lodge, which has been a sort
of white elephant on the hands of the
royal family since the death of the Duke
and Duchess of Teck. The place required a
great deal of renovating and is expensive to
keep up. This neither the Duke nor Duchess
of Cornwall and York. nor the other men,
bers of the royal family were prepared to
do. Mrs. Hartman is exceedingly rich. has
a handsome house in Berkeley square. is
a sister of the Countess De Jacourt, OF
Paris, and is not a friend of the King.
There is very good reason to believe that
the report that King Edward has purchased
a Welsh residence at Glynllifon, near Car
narvon, is well founded. Princess Victoria.
during her recent visit to the principalitv.
stayed at this place and it is known that
she was enthusiastic I'm praise of it. The
King may make a present of the mansion
to the Duke Of Cornwall, after he has been
created Prince of Wales.
