The President has been smoked out
He has been compelled to write let
ter, which he does to Mr.. Clark How
ell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution.
He is evidently hurt, and very much
hurt, over the critic isms of his South
ern policy. He tells in this letter who
some of his advisers are-Thomas
Nelson Page, of Va; Basil Duke, of
KY; Geo. era wford, of Tenn; John
McIlhenny, of La; Judge Jones, of
Ala, and Edgar s. Wilson, of Miss.
We do not know all of these gentle
men, but those we do know have left
the Democratic party for gold, and are
about as suitable advisers now of q
Southern policy as Mr.. John S. Wise.
We are surprised and panied that the
Presldent has net mentioned the lat.
ter. He would 60 well with the list.

BRINGS RICH
CARGO OF FURS
Schooner Viking Arrives
With Hold Full Of
Valuable Skins.
Consignment Includes Pelts
Of Sea Otter and Gin
namon Bear.

The little schooner Viking. which ar
rived yesterday, seventeen days from
Dutch Harbor, brought a large collec-
ton Of valuable furs gathered by hunt
ers and trappers in the far north. The
furs in their present condition are valued
at more than $4,000, and include the
skins Of many different species of ami
NAL. Probably the most valuable part Of
the consignment is a bundle of thirty
seven sea otter skins. Securing the furs
involved the sacrifice of many animal
lives, the victims ranging from cinnamon
bears to white rabbits There are skins
of mink, lynx, beaver, red and white fox
bears, black, white, cinnamon and griz-
zly, and otter. The Vikings cargo also
includes little ivory.
The Viking left here May with $4,000
worth Of supplies for the mission stations
located around Kushakwim Bay. A
scow. 40 feet long, 10 feet wide and feet
in depth, was taken up on the Viking
deck. During a heavy gale this scow
got loose from It's moorings and was
saved from going overheard with consid-
erable difficulty. While adrift the heavy
scow did considerable damage about the
schooner's deck
After discharging her. furs the Viking
will go to Grays Harbor to load lumber.

EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE
KILLS TWO SwITCHMEN
Car Containing Powder and Shells
Blows Up in Railroad Yards
in Michigan.

BAY CITY, Mich, Sept. 13-Clarence
D. Hopper and Roy Boucher, switchmen
of the Michigan Central Railway, were
killed to-day by an explosion of dynamite
in a car in the yards at West Bay City
Robert Robin, engineer, William Noble
fireman, and John c. Cracile, contractor
were injured, the latter so severely that
he may die. All of the trainmen were
residents of this city.
The explosion occurred as a switch en-
gine was making up a train. The engine
backed down upon several cars, the first
containing 1000 pounds of dynamite, a
consignment of Lee-Metford rifles and a
quantity of reduced charged shells for in
door practice. and it is said that the force
with which it struck the explosive laden
car exploded the dynamite Another re-
port has it that one of the shells exploded
and set off the dynamite. Hopper's BODY
was badly mangled. A big hole was torn
in the ground by the explosion, a score of
freight cars demolished and rearly 200
houses in the vicinity suffered broken
windows. Several houses were so badly
wrecked as to be uninhabitable. The
shock was felt three miles from the
scene.
