A Literary Sherlock Holmes.
Jack London has written a book
which he calls Children of the Frost"
London is an ardent student of
sociology and a great traveller. His
methods are somewhat on the Sherlock
Holmes order, and one of his latest ex-
ploits was to live in the East end of
London, disguised as an American
sailor looking for employment, with no
money in his pockets. Just now he is
observing life in San Francisco, and
living in bungalow overlooking the
Golden Gate. There is something in
the title of this last book of his that
makes us think perhaps he had our
Minneapolis friends in his mind.
The author of ION an Irish Jaunt-

to the rapid increase of automobiles.

OTTAWA UNIVERSITY DESTROYED.
BELL AT TELLURIDE.
Adjutant General Gets Warming With
 Cory Finger.

a
 DENVER, Dec. 2.-Au1utant Gencr Telluride the following letter wrapped around a human finger and signed IS. D.:''
 we send you the finger of a man who disappeared from Telluride some time ago. His ears will follow, and then his head. If his friends want to see him again in any other way but the way we send him you have got to do one thing. We only want you to withdraw the troops from Telluride at once. If you don't you will receive his ears in few days. Don't try to find us, for it is not in the power of tin soldier to do it."
 A physician who examined the finger pronounced it the ring finger from the right hand and said it was evidently cut off shortly before the letter was mail ed, as the blood stains on the letter bore evidence of being fresh, and the blood on the finger was hardly dry yet.
 After conferring with Governor Pea body General Bell turned the letter over to the postofice inspectors, who WAA SAOSdNOE u GdSC 1NS dulACI. AL is generally believed at the capitol that the matter was intended as hoax.
 The executive board of the Western Federation of Miners, in session in this city, sent the following telegram to Guy E. Miller, president of the Tellu- ride miners union:
 Advise all men who were ordered to leave town as result of alleged va grancy trials to remain in Telluride. The justices of the peace or any other official of company or state cannot compel persons to leave any place where they choose to live. The consti- tuition of the United States concerning civil rights makes it unlawful for off cials to deny these rights. Howe, Ru- tan and others are subject to punish ment in United States courts, and the law will be duly invoked. You are as sured of the hearty support of the Western Federation of Miners"
 The boards action is the result of the arrest by the sheriff at Telluride of twenty eight idle men.

WAR CLOUD CLEARS.
Japan and Russia on Verge of Final
 Settlement.

Settlement
 PARIS. Dec. 2,-Japan and Russia are on the verge of settlement of the far eastern controversy which promises to dissipate the war clouds which have been hanging over both countries. This settlement will be the result of the ne gotiations which have been in progress for some time past and which were as- sisted by the friendly representa- of France to Russia and of Great Brit ain to Japan. The two nations have practically agreed upon the basis of treaty, as follows:
 Russia will accept the two agree, ments entered into by Japan and Ko- req dated 1896 and 1898 respectively, under which Japan secured various rights in Korea, including the mainte- nance of garrison at Seoul. Tn ex- change for this concession Japan will accept Russia's treaty with China re- specfing Manchuria
 It is believed that Japan and Russia will reiterate their support of the prin- ciples of the "open door" and the integ- rity of China and of Korea.
 Before the recent visit of Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minis ter, to Paris, on which occasion he ac- companied the czar, France and Great Britain as result of the entente exist ing between them had agreed to use their influence with Russia and Japan respectively for the purpose of securing an amieable arrangement of the ques- tions in dispute. When Count Lams- dorff arrived M. Delcasse, the French foreign minister, took occasion to point out the interest which France had in a peaceful solution of the difficulty. At the same time M. Delcasse told Count Lamsdorff that it was clearly under stood that no matter what the result there would be no change, generally speaking, in the attitude of France to- ward Russia
 Count Lamsdorfr fully appreciated the delicacy of the French representa- ton, but explained that the policy of the Russian government tended to peaceful solution. In the meantime Great Britain had been making ener- getic representation to the Tokyo gov ernment. Diplomats therefore give considerable credit to the respective allies of the two disputants for the moderation which has prevailed in the Russian and Japanese councils.

MAYOR OF SING SING.
Patrick Is the Leader of the Ten
 Death Prisoners.

One of Them, However, Refused to
 Vote for Him-Patrick Decides All
 Disputes in the Death House and His
 Decisions are Respected.
 New York, Dec 2.-Albert T. Patrick, an inmate of Sing Sing prison, where he has been for some time under sen tence of death for the murder of Will liam Marsh Rice, the aged Texas mil iionaire, whose property he is alleged to have coveted, has been reelected ] mayor of the death house. He al- ready has served nearly year in that important office.
 Patrick has nine companions, but one refused to vote. Being a lawyer. he prepared his own case for the court of appeals and has aided the other con demned men in their efforts to secure new trials. All questions of impor- tance are referred to him, and he passes
 upon them just as city magistrate would under other circumstances. Patrick thanked his fellows for the confidence they had in him and assured them he would try to rule with fair ness and to their entire satisfaction
 Condemned prisoners are not permit ted to visit one another. Each exer- cises in his own cell and isstaken out but once a week. Therefore the pow CTS of the mayor are great. If two of the inmates want to play checkers it is necessary for all the others to be quiet. This and questions of similar nature invariably are decided by the mayor.

 Each will serve dinner of seven courses, the one producing the best meal to receive $1,Oo0. Dowst believes in cooking without the use of liquoss, while Petit contends that many w- ands can be greatly improved with q dash of brandy or wine. The contest will not only test the skill of the men, but show whether fine cooking can be done on lines of teetotaIism. A con test ltka that is worth while.
