THE WONDERS
OF RAD|UM

St. Petersburg, March S.-Prince
Tarkhanov, the scientist, lecturing be-
fore the military association on radium,
been cured of malignant growths on the
face by the use of radium, and expressed
the opinion that the problem of deter
mining the sex of children, that Prof
Schenck had failed to solve, will short
ly he settled by the aid OF radium.
When large quantities of radium should
be available. the whole system OF mod
ern warfare would be revolutionized, as
powder magazines, whether in forts or
in the holds of vessels, would be at the
mercy of radium rays, which could ex-
plode them at long distances.

A MAsToDoN FOUND

Dawson. March lS.-The Rev. Father
Bunos yesterday received dispatch
from James McNamee. in Seattle, an
nouncing the double misfortune of the
loss of both wife and two-year old son
Eugene. Mrs McNamee died Febru-
airy 90, and the little boy followed his
mother nine days later, March Q. Ne
cessarily the dispatch was brief and the
particulars of the double misfortune
have not yet been learned. Mr.. Nc
Nance is one of the best known miners
of the Klondike-and one of the most
generous. His circle of friends aud ac
quaintances is of the widest, and the
news of his successive losses will evoke
the strongest sympathy for the hereav-
ed man.
The Northern Commercial steamers
lying on the Dawson waterfront are be-
ing given their first attention prepare
tory to being put into commission as
soon as the river breaks. The Susie
and Rock Island are being supplied
with large quantities of cordwood. Last
fall these steamers were caught in the
ice below Dawson without wood and
dangerously delayed in that precarious
position for some time.
The Catholics Of Dawson will erect
branch church, or more properly a
chapel, in the heart of the city. The
building probably will be erected be-
fore snow falls next fall. The purpose
of the new chapel is to make it possible
for members and adherents of the
church to attend services without hav-
ing to travel to the north end of town,
especially during the bitter cold of the
most severe part of the winter.

Municipality of Nome.

After referring TO the report of the
auditors appointed by Judge Moore to
audit the accounts of the city and school
board the report states:
1--WE call the attention of the Nome
city council, as the custodans of the
city funds, to that part of the report OF
the auditing committee covering war;
rants showing possible basis for in
vestigation. These warrants issued for
services rendered and for purchases
made show reckless expenditure OF
public funds. The court and grand Jury
believe it to be the duty of the city to
take the initial step in showing that
there has been misrepresentation of
public funds.
"Among the items in which we be-
lieve extravaganza has been shown is
the purchase of an engine for the sum
of s., 10000, which has proved to be
worthless for the purpose of extinguish.
ing fire and which a United States
marine engineer, j. B. FACET, reports
to this body to have value of one hum
dred dollars, for the copper, brass and
other metal it may contain, and we be-
lieve it to be dangerous to life when in
use.
"The purchase of lot and the plac-
ing thereon of a building entailing an
expense Of $6,6S7.OO.
THE outlay of $4,000 for crawling
and improving roadway in a cemetery,
when to reach said cemetery from
half to three-quarters of a mile of mud
must necessarily be traversed.
1--WE believe that the $1O177.OO, the
a III
should have been applied to the reduc-
tion of the city debt"
The report also recommends that the
city council open First avenue between
B street and Steadman avenue, and
condemn right of way for that pur-
pose; that the city council pass an or.
dinance requiring all druggists to keep
the names of all persons purchasing
poison from them; that the city health
officer be instructed to inspect all meats
offered for sale within the city limits
at least once month, and that the
health officer also see that the Moon
light Springs Water Co. keep the
source of their water supply pure, and
take all precautions necessary to keep
it so.
Other Recommendation.
The grand jury also recommends gov
eminent relief for the Eskimo; that the
sale of liquor to natives be made fell
ony, and the management Of Holy Cross
hospital is heartily commended. An
addition OF two rooms to the Seward
school building is favored, additional
fire chemicals, and that the school year

The books and records in said office

the duties of said Office ably performed.
The officials are courteous and consid-

pains to keep the work of the depart

tention TO the exorbitant fees charged
by United States commissioners for the

respectfully ask the attorney general
to make a reduction of the same. We
also recommend to the attorney gen.

Remarkable Disclosures Regarding
London Biqamist.

London, March 29.-Public interest
continues to be largely absorbed in the
extraordinary developments following
the suicide of man named George
Crossman.
On the night of March 23 Crossnan,
who was living in the respectable SUI
hurb of kensarise. killed himself to
avoid arrest by the police. whose sus-
picioNs had been aroused regarding the
contents of a trunk which Crosslnan
was sending away from his house. On
opening the trunk the body of woman
was found encased in cement. An in
vestigation proved that she was mur-
dered about six months ago, and that
she was one of Crossmaus eight wives.
Five of the wives We're traced and
found alive; one is dead and two are
missing The identity OF the body
found in the cement can not yet he as
certained on account Of decomposi-
ton and injury to the skull, which had
been split with an ak or similar instru-
ment. The police believe Ii possible
the investigation may prove that
Crossman adopted similar method of
ridding himself of other superf3uous
wives, Of which 1t is suspected he may
have had several who have not vet
been traced. Tho only about 80 years

GIRLS STORM WHITE HOUSE.
Teachers Insist on Gust One Peep" at
President.


Washington, March 29.-One hundred
and twenty-five young women school
teachers from Cleveland swooped down
on the white house yesterday after
noon and were with difficulty persuad
ed to not storm the presidents private
office. After they had been received
by the president in the east room and
shown thru the white house they vis-
tied the executive offices.
As a mark OF special favor, Captain
Loeffler, the presidents doorkeeper, es-
corted them into the cabinet room,
which is connected with the presidents
room by double doors. The doors were
closed and Mr.. Roosevelt was working
on the other side of them.
Immediately there was a united and
vociferous demand that the doors be
opened wide enough for just peep"
The youngest and prettiest teachers
surrounded Captain Loef11er and ap-
pealed to him, but he was obdurate.
Then each one of them insisted on
sitting in the presidents chair at the
cabinet table. The first one who sat
down discovered pad of white house
paper and they all insisted on being
allowed to sit at the table long enough
to write a letter home.
Not until Loefffer had summoned
help did they compromise by each TAX
ing sheet of official paper as SOU
venir. The president got ready to
climb out of window for fear of be-
ing "Hobsonized.' and all work was
suspended until the visitors were safe
ly out of the building.
The cabinet ROOM, from this time on
is forever closed to large delegations of
young women teachers.

New York. March 29.-The story OF
an alleged plot to assassinate President
Roosevelt, which upon investigation,
proved entirely without foundation,was
made public today by Police Commits
sioner McAdoo.
Several days ago the commissioners
received a letter from an Italian ia
Italy, saying another Italian was about
to come to this country for the express
purpose of assassinating the president.
The writer gave detailed description
OF the alleged anarchist and full de-
tails of the alleged plot. When the
steamer was locked suspect was
found and detained. Investigation,
however, showed the case was purely
one Of spite on the part of the man who
wrote the letter. The detained man was
found to be no anarchist and he was
allowed to land. The object Of the LETT
ter. it was found. was to have the man
deported.

ing The bill follows the recommends
tions of the report of the royal commits
sion on alien immigration, issued
in August last that immigration of
certain classes of aliens into the United
Kingdom be subjected to state control.
London. March 29.--The usual mo-
ton providing for the adjournment of
the house of commons over the Easter
holidays gave the liberal leader Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman an oppor-
tllnity to make spirited attack on the
government. He cauStically criticised
in detail the whole policy of the minis
try. which he declared, except in the
matter of Chinese labor, was marked
by "illdecision. confusion and vacilla-
ton. a tortuous course and misty at
mosphere. Sir Henry added that he
did not think it In accordance with the
spirit Of the constitution that Premier
Balfour should retain power when the
country naQ SHOWN at every OppOrtu-
nifty afforded it that he no longer en-
ioyed its favor.
Balfour, replying, said he noted the
anxiety of the liberal leader that he
should resign. but he WAS quite unable
to see why the government should take
the unprecedented course of resigning
office while it retained the confidence
OF the house. Sir Henry could settle
the question OF the governments resig-
nation or not by vote of censure.
Balfuur concluded with declaring the
governments fiscal policy was that of
real progressive free trade. When
Winston Spencer Churchill conserva-
tive. rose and pressed Balfour for fur
thur explanation OF the government fis-
cal policy. saying vacillation OF the
government had caused him to become
one OF its opponents instead of one of
its supporters, the premier and all the
unionists except ten tropped out of the
house. The incident led to protest on
the part of other members against the
discourtesy shown Churchill.
