 No matter wha' the powers of the gTsnd jury may or may pot be, human ity puts some limit upon the actions of all bodies, whether legal or otherwise.
 On Friday when the court came in at l:30, counsel for defendant stated that they had been informed that the grand jury were subpoenaing witnesses in the Jolley case. and that MT. Kurtz had stated that his wife had been so sub poenaed; that they objected to such procedure. The court remarked that he would not presume anything wrong in that connection, that he did not .de- sire to pry into their business. T have been informod, however" remarked the court, ''that some one on the grand jury is giving out information of the proceedings of that body, and wish to state that if the court shall have defin- ite information as to whom the person or persons are who are thus divulging, he or they will be dealt with very sum marily. It seems that the public is better informed of the doings of the grand jury than the court itself. This is one Of the unseernly things of this session."

HOMES
 INVADED Grand Jury Committee
 Investigating WOm An lN TEARS An Account of an Incident 'AIleg. eed to Have Taken Place Yes.
 terday Afternoon.
WOMAN IN TEARS

Asa result of visit to the home of w. C-.Kurtz yesterday by Foreman J. T. Hill, of the grand jury, and com mittee, Mrs. Kurtz IS exceedingly i'll, and the action of the foreman in in- truding with committee into private residence has provoked a great deal of indignation.
 Mrs. Kurtz is the mother ef three weeks old baby, and is in very delicate health, the slightest shock or noise completely upsetting her and throwing her into a state of hysteria.
 Of course the object of the visit of the foreman of the grand jury can only be surmised. A subpoena had been issued for Mrs. Kurtz to appear before the grand jury forthwith at the Golden Gate hall. The state of her health would not permitit, and it is alleged, that her physician, Dr. Hill, said the foreman might see Mrs. Kurlz al her home, provided she did not hecome hysL terical. Foreman Hill and the commit tee appeared, and Hill began asking questions. Dr. Hill and Mr. Knrtz re- tired outside the building, and very soon Mrs. Kurtz's sobs and cries were heard. .Kurtz went into the house and met the committee coming out. .
 Mrs. Kurtz remained in ua state -ol hysteria all day and is still in. B weat condition. s se... There is a rumor to the effect thai Foreman Hill was trying to secure evidence upon which to base an indict' ment of Mir. Kurtz on some charge, pro. bably that of having committed perjury at the preliminary examination of J. J. JOlley. At any rate the fact that g fore. man of the grand jury and q committee can go to private house and take, or attempt to take evidence. is ,unho ard of in the history of jurisprudence. and it really 'ooks as ifthe judge of the court shonl exen,isf his authority and :'call down" his foreman.
 "Grand jories.' says an eminent au- th"rity .''cannot make inquisitions into the, general conduct and p'ivaue busi- ness of their fellHw ci izeas, and hunt up offences by sending for witnesses to investigate vague accusations founded upon suspic ons and indefinite. rumors. The repose of society, as we'll as the nature of our free institutions forbid such dan. erous pra, tice."

The Alexander tied uT to tho ice at the Cape about mile from shore, where she was boarded by F. H. Nowell and George Armstrong of Teller. The Alexander brought no newspapers or news of any particular importance. No steamers were adver- ttised to leave Seattle or San Francisco before May 20.
 This news was brought to Nome this morning by A. A. Euhanks of Cape York and Dr. Wa Sloan of Gold Run.
 Mir. Eubanks, who has been at York since last summer, left that place on Wednesday,. He also states that the
