PERHAPS THE REASON.

As large bodies move slowly and as officials of the government are not al- ways allowed to do just as the spirit moves them, there is room to believe that che district attorney of the first judicial dis,ric, of Alaska is not thor oughly advised of the actual conditions at skagvay. Itis not to be presumed tha. this commissioners district is wii- fully neglected.
 Ketchikan, with a population of POO or 300. has a resident deputy district attorney. At the last term of court at that town a grand jury was drawn and no business came before it. Probably this occurrence furnished the reason for not drawing a grand jury for the last sitting of che court at Skagway until necessity demonstrated that 1t had to be done. Skagway is the place of second ii DO, of first importance in Southeastern Alaska, with a popula- tion nearly equalling Juneau.

FOUND NO VERDICT
The Jury in Storm Case
 Discharged
Seven for COnvictiOn-DistrIc Attor- ney Clark at Once Moved for a New Trial.

Prescott. Ariz.. Dec. -(Special)- After deliberating for fifty hours, the Storm jury was called into court this morning by Judge Sloan and stated that it was impossible to arrive at q verdict.
 They were then discharged for the term. The statement is made that they stood seven for guilty and five for not guilty. Immediately after being discharged, District Attorney Clark asked that the second trial begin at once. saying that the prosecution was ready. Judge Sloan stated that he would take the matter up later.
 MT. Clark retires as district attorney on January l, and is anxious to have this question disposed of before his term of office closes. The hanging of the jury was not unexpected, and the Storm people seem elated over the case terminating as it did. On the other hand, there are open expressions Of disapprOval by many others.

the Minnehaha is waiting at the mouth of the Thames, unable to proceed. Only two vessels entered the port of London yesterday, a condition of af- fairs such as has not occurred in twenty years The mouth of the river is crammed with vessels loaded with perishable foodstuffs of all descrip- tions.
 The streets of London present re- markable scenes. Nothing is visible except linkboys' torches and the occa- sional flare of big creosote lights which the authorities are beginning to employ to assist traffic. Phantom voices mingle with whistles of omnibus and tramway drivers. while at points like Trafalgar square and Hyde park the corners are cOnglomerations of ve- hicles of every description, held up by the police and close locked for hours. Nearly everybody is suffering from headache. which the doctors attribute to the fog.

 MT. Stonefnan at first said that he would accept such an arrangement and he 1as seconded by President Chase. Col. Fleming said however that he would want the direction of operations and that was tentatively consented to but finally MT. Stoneman withdrew his acceptance on the ground that he did not know whether he would be backed by the directors. The court suggested that the proposition of Col. Fleming seemed to be the best way out of it. The court added that in any event he was not prepared to render a decision and he asked the parties in the mean time to see if there was not some way in which they could get together.

A SPY SQUADRON.
The Russian Opinion of Japanese Ves-
 sells Near Straits Settlement.

St Petersburg, Dec 22=The an nouncement that four Japanese cruI- sers and twelve torpedo boats are p-o- ceedinG west from Singapore Is receIv- ed here with much interest It is not believed that such a small squadron can have been sent out by Japan with any idea of engaging in offensive oper- ations, but it is regarded as more prob- able that it is the purpose oE this squadron to keep surveillance over the two detachments of the Russian fleet. which are expected soon to unite in the neighbOrhOOd of Madagascar.
 It is generally believed that Vice Ad- miral Rojestvensky intends 10 establish a naval cOaling base on some small is- land between Madagascar and the Philippines and that the Japanes- cruising squadron is to mark the. rem dezyoas for Vice Admiral Togo's in- formation The belief Is exp-ess.d that Rojestvensky will be able to catch up with the Japanese scouts. which it is believed he could easily de- stroy. thereby weakening the Japanese in the final naval engagement

THE LAST GLUE IS GONE
That Mountain Murder Destined to
 Remain Mystery.

Colorado Springs, Col. Dec. 22.-"We have exhausted every possible clue and have traced up every missing woman that has been reported to us until we are now at the end of our string" said Chief of Police Reynolds this evening. ''We can do nothing but await the re- suits of the wide publicity which the Associated Press has very kindly given the description of the dead girl, in the hope that her friends in some portion of the country may supply the neces- sary information to permit our going to work"
 The finding of an old coat oTl DOT ton of Cutler mountain today gave rise to a rumor that clothing had been found, but it. was proved that the gar ment had been discarded by q miner working in the hills. Another rumor that was run down by officers was to the effect that girl was Alice C. Quinn of Manitou, who left that town on De- cember f. and had not been heard from since. She was located with relatives in Pueblo. Mrs. Mamie Swift, who was reported missing. ha sbeen located in Victor.

ENGLAND IS TIED UP
The Fog Has Suspended Traffic hy
 Land and Sea.

London, Dec. 22.-There is as yet no sign of the lifting of the fog which en- velops the Kingdom. The absence of wind throughout Great Britain is un precedented, and meteorologists do not anticipate any change in condi- tions for another twenty-four hours. Considering the almost insuperable difficulties attending locomotion of any form, the number of fatal accidents has been remarkably small The slls- pension of business is very general. So far as London is concerned, the tube railways are the only concerns bene- fited. and their daily traffic is reaching record figures. Places of amusement are almost deserted, and shopkeepers are loudly lamenting the absence of the usual Christmas customers, in stead of which the big stores are in undated with orders by post, which cannot be executed owing to the com plete dislocation of all carrying bUsi- ness. The railway traffic both for long and short distances, is almost paralyzed. A condition resembling chaos prevails in the postal service. With the continued accumulation of Christmas parcels and letter traffic. it is quite impossible to preserve even a semblance Of punctuality. All railway trains are many hours late. and many trains between London and the sub urbs occupy a couple of hours in mak- ing a distance of eight miles. The mail boats in all directions are sinil- arly disorganized.
 The Oceanic and Saxonia have been unable to reach their landings at Iiv- 1 erpool. The Cedric and the Pretoria | outward bound, are both delayed, and

This Time DT. Chadwick h.
 CIuded With His Wife
CHARGED WITH FORGERY
It Is Expected That the Husband of This Extraordinary FiHancier and Hypnotist Will Arrive in New York Next Wednesday.

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 22.-Dr. Leroy S. Chadwick and his wife, Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, were jointly indicted by the grand jury this afternoon on charge of having forged and uttered one $5OO,OOO note signed by Andrew Carnegie.
 Dr. Chadwick is now on his way to New York from Paris and is expected to land next Wednesday. As soon as the indictment was returned, Sheriff Barry of this county made arrange ments to secure Dr. Chadwicks extra dition. He will meet the steamer on its arrival. This is the third time Mrs Chadwick has been indicted by the grand jury, but it is the first instance of her husbands name appearing in the legal proceedings in the case
 The indictments already returned against Mrs. Chadwick are similar to the one voted today except that they cover notes of S25O,OOO and $5O0.O0O. signed by Andrew Carnegie. There are many things which Dr. Chadwick will have to explain, and hope he will do so,'' said Prosecutor Keeler today.
 "Dr. and Mrs. Chadwick may be tried on the indictment separately or together. Each has the right to stand trial singly if it is desired. The jurors will. finish their work on Saturday. The Chadwick investigation. so far as this jury is concerned, is ended, but l cannot say that this concludes our in quiry into the matter. It is possible that there may be other develop ments." The grand jury spent more than two weeks in it's investigation of the Chadwick affair.
 Mrs Chadwick was in better health today than she has been for some time Her only visitors are her attorneys anC occasionally her son Emil. Sherih Barry has allowed him to see her con- trary to jail rules.

Agriculture is given more prominence

this great industry having been fully
appreciated from the very beginning

About seventy acres of ground are
