Hemon raved and accused me of not
using him right and then he leaped
over the side of the dory. I jumped
after him and after hard time got
back into the dory and got him in.
After that Hemon was unconscious
and had no further trouble from him.
Thursday afternoon I sighted a
steamer and two fishing schooners,

GIVING OUT NO NEWS
st. Petersburg Authorities Decline to
Say Aught Concerning VIadivostok
Mutiny Except that 1t Is Ended.
[By Associated Press]

st. Petersburg, Jan. 29.-The story
of the recent mutiny at Vladivostok
and the manner of it's termination are
a sealed book to st. Petersburg, owing
to the difficulty in telegraphic COM
munication and the reticence of the
war office officials, who alone are in
possession of the details. The navy
department has not received any mes
sages since January 25, and the de-
partment of the interior received only
today from the chief of police a dis
patch dated January "a, recounting
that the origin of the mutiny of sail
ors was due to the arrest of doctor
and Jewish agitator who had a
great deal of influence.
A meeting was called at which the
revolutionists decided to liberate the
prisoners. The mutineers demolished
buildings in which arms and munitions
were stored, seized rifles and endeav-
ored to compel the commandant to
grant the prisoners releace. According
to this dispatch the artillery men of
the garrison were greatly enraged
against the mutineers and seized six
soldiers of wavering regiment, held
them as hostages and threatened to
execute the six men unless their regi-
ment refused to join the revolutionists
and cooperate in crushing the mutiny.
Beyond the mere statement that the
mutiny is ended and that all is now
quiet at Vladivostok the war Office
is unwilling to give details.
The American embassy has not re-
ceived anything from the consul at
Vladivostok for several weeks.

THE END IS SUDDEN
Death Will Put in Mourning Majority
of Ruling Houses of Europe-Was
Directly Related to Nearly All
Through Ties of Blood or Marriage.
[By Associated Press]

Copenhagen, Jan. 29.-King Chris
tian of Denmark died at 80 this af-
ternoon.
The kings death was quite sudden.
Although for some time past he had
showed evidences that the weight of
years was beginning to tell upon him,
there was no indication of his ap-
reaching end.
His majesty gave long audience
this morning, lasting three hours. At
the lunch afterwards the king showed
signs of great fatigue and almost COL
lapsed. Physicians were hastily sum-
moned, but they were unable to rally
the aged monarch's strength and at
$3.50 p. m. he died in his bedroom, to
which he had retired.
Crown Prince Frederick. Crown
Princess Louisa and their children
and the dowager empress of Russia,
Marie Dagmar, were present at the
kings bedside when he passed away.
Both houses of parliament will as
semble tomorrow, when their respec-
tive presidents will formally announce
the death of King Christian.
At 8 o'clock p. m. the members will
assemble in the hall of the
Folkesthing to receive the royal mes
sage announcing the accession of
Frederick VIII. The public announce
ment of the death of King Christian
and the accession of King Frederick
will be made at noon from the balcony
of the Amalienborg palace.
1t has been known for some time
that King Christians health was fail
ing. His physician recommended a
change of air and the king had decided
to take his advice. 1t was his intention
to go south in the near future, accom-
panied by the dowager empress of
Russia.
No definite funeral arrangements
have yet been made.

Failing to find Greenberg among the
Findland's cabin passengers, the Gus
toms officials turned Heicher over to
the immigration authorities, who had

cher gave him the trunk at Antwerp,
requesting him to take charge of it
until they had landed in New York.
The apparent disappearance of
Greenberg and Heicher's story of how
the trunk came into his possession
caused the authorities to think that
there is some hidden motive for the
bringing the valuable papers secret
ly into the United States.

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 29.-Henry Neue-
banner, the Alaskan miner who COM
mitted suicide here Monday morn
ing after having fatally wounded Oh
lie Powell, his former sweetheart, who
ran away with another man the night
before her marriage to Neuebaumer
was to have taken place, and serious
ly wounded Lafayette Gray, success
full rival and the latter's mother and
sister, left what is believed to have
been a considerable quantity of gold
dust buried along the Yukon river in
Alaska. That is the statement in a
letter from Henry Neuebaumer to his
brother, Edward Neuebaumer, which
the latter received upon his arrival in
Boise.
He declares he had put this by for
a rainy day, thinking | might need it
in the future. But if l do not need
it in this world there may be another.
And if there is another life and
ever came back to the world I might
need it then and could get it. No
one knows where it is buried. No
one knew I was burying it but my
self"
There is no hint in the letter
where the gold dust may be hidden,
but it is supposed to be in the neigh
borhood of his Klondike mine. Ed
ward Neuebaumer arrived from
jamestown, CAL, to take charge of the
body of the suicide, which was buried
here. 1t is stated in letter left by
the dead man for his brother that he

been his favorite brother in years
past.

five sisters, all residing in California
Neuebaumer declares he will bear the
expense of burying the victims of the
shooting. He expects to take a trip
to Alaska as soon as possible to get
his brothers estate in proper shape.
