UNCLE SAM’S AERIAL COURIER.

A Pigeon From the Cruiser New York
Rests» on a Yankee Schooner.

New Haven, Aug. 23.-—Captain Mitch—
ell of the schooner Cora M, now in port
here. reports that while many miles out
on Wednesday a carrier pigeon came
aboard bearing a message from the
United States cruiser New York. The
note requested whoever found the bird
to allow it to rest, feed it and let it go
again, and if in vicinity of a United
States naval station to report the cir-
cumstances. The message was dated
Aug. 17.

The cook saw the bird alight on the
deck. He picked it up and noticed the
message in a small cylinder. The cap-
tain ordered the bird to be fed. It made
itself perfectly at home, hopping down
into the cabin, where it put its head un-
der its wing and slept for about two
hours, after which it ate some more
and took a drink of water, hopped out
on the deck, and, rising in the air, cir-
cled around the schooner three times.
Then it struck out' like a shot in the
direction of Cape Ann, which was about
82 miles distant in a northwesterly di-
rection.

TRAIL TO THE GOLDI'IELD.

Good Path Being Opened to the Mining
Districts of the Yukon.

Seattle, Aug. 25.-—The steamship Ro-
salie from Skagguay and Dyea brought
the news that the town organization of
Skagguay, under the leadership of A.
J. McKinney, has taken definite action
to open the trail. On the arrival there
of the collier Willamette none of the
passengers was allowed to land until
the entire cargo had been placed high
and dry on theteach‘. It was seen at
once that to get over the trail. was im-
possible. A meeting was convened at
which it was decided to declare the
trail closed. The miners put their ac-
tion into immediate effect by tearing
out several crosspieces of the bridge
across the Skagguay river. Then about
700 citizens went to work on the trail,
and the following day their number
waI increased to 1,000.

They had about 50 pounds of giant
powder and a small quantity of dyna-
mite, and expected in four days after
the sailing of the Rosalie to reopen the
trail in a greatly improved condition.
The dangerous places where many
horses have been lost will be fixed-'up
with scantlings and the marshy por-
tions will be corduroyed. This action
will result in many prospectors getting
through to the mines who would other-
wise have been blockaded all winter.
The condition of affairs at the lakes is
about the same as reported last week.

,A HUMAN BODY WAS BURNED.

Police Said to Have Damaging Evidence
Against Adolph Luetgert.

Chicago, Aug. Six—One of the sensa-'

tions which the state expects to spring
in the Luetgcrt wife murder case, now

on trial in the cr.mina1 court, will be '

the testimony of Professor Walton S.
Haines of Rush Medical college. He
will testify that he found indisputable
evidence in the ashes taken from under
the boiler in the Luetgert sausage fac-
tory that a skeleton was incinerated in
the fire from which the ashes resulted.

These ashes have been found, it is al-
leged, to contain insoluble phosphates
resulting from the incineration of ani—
mal bones. The report of the scientist
has been carefully guarded. It has
been revealed to no one outside of the
state attorney’s: office. That the work
was being done was known to only a
few others.

It was announced that Professor
Haines’ experiments had been highly
successful and that he had secured
what the state is most in want of in its
one, convincing evidence that a human
body was destroyed in the Luetgert fac-
tory some time prior to May 22, when
the evidence is said to have been se-
cured. The state has always connected
the furnaces of the boiler with the al.-
leged destruction of the missing wom-
an’s body.

How to account for the firing of the
boilers on the afternoon of Sun ‘ y, May
2, puzzled the police. If, as th y said,
the body had been dissolved in the
strong potash solution, why did Luet—

. gert use the furnaces and why did he

carefully rake out the ashes?

When Professor Haines was called in,
be viewed the case from a purely scien-
iific standpoint. The evidence as the
state had colected it was presented to
him. When the search of the factory
had been partially completed, he dc-
clared that if the ashes taken from the
furnace on May 2 could be secured he
could discover what they contained, and
that if a body had been destroyed, or.
as the police believe, a skeleton had been
incinerated, he could prove it beyond a
doubt. This conference was held on
Saturday, May 22, a week after Luetgert
had been arrested.

As a result of that conference Pro-
fessor Haines, Inspector Schaack, As-
sistant State Attorney McEwen. Cap—
tain Schuettler and several policemen
made a hurried trip to the factory. The
pile of ashes that had last been taken
from the furnace was still in its place.

‘ The ashes had been carefully sifted and

searched in hope of finding some clew.
The pile was all gathered up and taken
to the laboratory of Professor Haines at
the Rush Medical college, where it was
analyzed, with the result as above
stated.

NEGOTIATING FOR PEACE.

'Funds to Greece For the Indemnity.

stood that the Imperial Ottoman bank
has notified the embassadors of the
powers of its willingness to provide the
entire ambunt of indemnity agreed upon
between Greece and Turkey if the con-
trol of the Greek finances is assured as
security.

The Turkish government now pro-
poses that the sultan’s troops occupy
V010 and Lafissa and the country in
the rear of those places until the Greek
war indemnity is paid, immediately
withdrawing the troops south of this
line on the signing of the treaty of
peace. The Marquis of Salisbury, how-
ever, maintains his opposition to the
Turkish occupation of the towns men-
tioned, especially Larissa.

ARMENIANS DESPERATE.

Tired of Persecution. and Waiting For
' Bedress, They \Vill Act Vigorously.

Constantinople, Aug. 24.—The confes-
sions of the tWO Armenians arrested on
Saturday, at whose residences bombs
were found by the police, are said to
have been prompted by the Turkish au-
thorities. The prisoners are alleged to
have confessed that they intended to
use the bombs at the Russian and Ger-
man embassies.

The circular letter received by the em-
bassadors of the powers from the Ar-
menian Dashnakzutrum committee, al-
most identical with the one sent to the
embassadors in 1896, declaring the Ar-
menians are tired of waiting, and are
resolved to take action for the redress
of their grievances, also appeals to the
pity of the nations of Europe not to al-
low the Armenian nation to be anhili-
lated, asserts that the Turkish promises
of reform are a dead letter, and that in
this extremity the Armenians are re-
solved to carry out what waI foreshad-
owed by the occurrencés of Aug. 26, 1896.

These steps, they further state, are. the
preliminaries of a plan the very idea 01
which fills them with terror. They de-
clare they will not cease to act until
their demands, which are “sanctified by
the blood of martyrs,” are satisfied.

It is given out here that the French
minister for foreign affairs, M. Hana-
toux, replying to the Marquis of Salis.
bury, who insists upon the Turkish
evacuation of Thessaly before the Greek
indemnity is paid, says he shares the
views of the British premier and min-
ister for foreign affairs; but M. Hana-
toux submits that the occupation at
Thessaly is of less importance than the
conclusion of peace.

The Marquis of Salisbury. in order t(
solve the difficulty, has suggested that
the powers co-operate in a scheme it
enable Greece to guarantee the interest
on a loan to pay off the Turkish in-
demnity, by international control, i1
necessary, of a portion of the Hellenic
revenues. The powers are considering
the proposal.

 

It was on Aug. 26, 1896, that the Ar-
menian revolutionists made their de-
termined attack upon the Ottoman bank.
invading that building with bombs and
revolvers, killing a number of police-
men on guard, mounting the roof, and
from there and from the windows firihg
upon the police in the street below. SiI
Edgar Vincent, director of the Ottoman
bank, eventually prevailed upon the Ar-
menians to surrender,_and, after about
forty-eight hours of unchecked blood-
shed, the Mussulmans quieted down.

 

MANY LOOMS HUMMING.

Large Cotton Mills -Which -Have Been
Shut Down Begin Work Again.

Boston, Aug. 24.—Dispatches from
different New England manufacturing
centers today announce that many cot-
ton mills which have been idle resumed
operations today. During a part of July
and August thousands of spindles were
not operated in this section owing to
unsatisfactory conditions which prevail-
ed either in the finished goods or new
cotton market, or to the need of re-
pairs. In addition to this, several other
mills closed for two weeks in accord-
ance with their annual midsummer cus-
tom.

Many of the Fall River mills resumed
operations last week, and several start-
ed their machinery today. The curtail-
ments, it is claimed, together with im-
proved business conditions, have helped
the cotton goods market wonderfully,
and it is now believed that in the ‘future
no such quantity of unsold goods will
accumulate as during the past year.

Sev al of the Lowell mills resumed
in w le or in part today and reports
from that city indicate that the out-
look is promising.

The mills of the Amoskeag corpora-
tion of Manchester, which employs
nearly 10,000 people, will start Sept. 6,
after a shut down of a nflmth, and -the
Amory mills, in the same city, resumed
today.

The shut downs caused a. considerable
loss to Manchester business men, but
was of'shorter ditation than was ex-
pected.

Several small mills which were idle in
various other places also resumed work
today.

The Blame For the Disaster Placed With
the Captain.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 24.—'l:he board
of inquiry on the wrecking of the
steamship Mexico in Dixon's entrance,
Thursday, Aug. 5, has revoked the pilot
papers of Captain Thomas, master of
the steamship, and suspended him for
60 days. The papers of the pilot, Con-
nell. who was on the bridge at the time
of the disaster, have been revoked for
a period of 30 days. It is stated that
they found that the blame was with
C‘aptain Thomas, who had retired. It
was held that he should have been on
deck, especially as he had placed his
vessel in a dangerous position. mir-
ther, it was found that the rock on
which the steamship struck was West
Devil's neck. and therefore was known
to the navigating officer cf the Mexico.
