She wept bitterly, and said that she had: then she bepan to upbraid me, saying could have pre- vented her son from being killed. Dr.. Hall had told her so, she said. I after wahN met Coleman's brother and brolher-ih-law, and they, too, had been imbued by Dr. Hall with the idea that 1 could have prevented the murder of the unfortunate man. How, I never knew.
 I have digressed. Let us go back to my couch where I went after Frank had told me what Dr.. Hall had said on Beacon hill. 1 did not sleep, but thought much and tried to map out Il future course of action whereby could thwart the evident design of Dr. Hall to murder me at the first favorable op- portunity, and believed that he woulu' create it.
 still had hope of ships arriving, and although the natives had started on their fall hunt to intercept the deer, and others were getting ready, 1 thought, of deserting, taking the rife and what ammunition l then had; but that would be committing two crimes the rifle was not mine, and desertion would be a heinOus crime, even if got my own rifle. It would certainly give the murderer the opportunity he wanted, and would be positive proof against me-enOugh to substantiate any charge he might see fit to make. aud justify his act in destroying my life. Since Pat Coleman S death had evaded him. l entertained for him nothing but horror and disgust, and kept out of his presence. only coming to camp to report and bring in the hides of the an mals I had killed. Presently Sam Spearman entered the tent saying that Dr. Hall wanted us all at his tent, at tie same time remarking that we were to prepare for a journey to Fort Churchill to intercept the Hud- son bay ships in order to get home. There ore we easerl! entered Dr. Halls tent to hear what he had to pro- pOse,, and when we would start.

Though severely cold, there was no wind, hence the weather per mitted & great deal of outdoor exercise The New Year was herel in by a liberal use of fire crackers all along Front street.
 Nome is a hospitable community, as ever. one knows, and the ladies who re. ceived, IS W, Il as their callers, spent . pleasant day. There were numerous dinner parties at the restaurants and at pr v.,te homes.

BIASED COMMISSION

Vancouver, Oct. l6.-Great satisfac- tion is expressed throughout Canada at the termination of the coal strike al though 1t is understood that great pressure was eXerted upon Mitchell to induce him to accept a biased commis- sion the members of which are virtually of the operators nomination. Roose- velt's course in adding Bishop Spald- ing, known and loyal friend of labor is generally applauded.
 Washington, Oct. 15. - President Mitchell has called a meeting of the executive committee and the strike will be called off and mining resumed Tn two or three days. some members of the commission were named by Messrs. Sargent and Mitchell at their conference with the president today. Mir. Sargent officially represented the miner S union leaders. There is excel lent reason for the belief that President Mitchell will submit to President Roosevelt q counter proposition for the settlement of the strike. Mir. Mitchell will insist that the president be given a free hand in the selection of the board of arbitration, and that the terms under which the board shall be created shall be remodeled some what. It is also believed that the wording of the offer of the operators leaving the union out of consideration does not meet with Mitchell approval. He may ask that the wording be changed so as to more clearly recognize the union.
 Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 15. - The strike at the coal mines of the Tennes- see Coal and Iron Company which has been in full force for the past ten days, was settled today, 4,5O0 men will re- sume work at once. The terms of the settlement are not made public.
