A Man Who Knows Predicts That There Will Be Great Suffering Evcn'at Dyes Next Winter—Mines to Be Bond- ed—A Canard Exploded. Seattle, Wash, Aug. 5.——The steamer George E. Starr sailed for Alaska early today with, 90 passengers and 20 horses. On Aug. 9 the steamer Queen will go north. She will carry between 500 and 600 passengers. On the same date the steam barge Ajax will be tOWed to Dyea by a tug loaded with stock. On Aug. 8, the ship Klondike, chartered by Taco- ma parties, will sail. 0n the same day the steamer Coquitlan will sail from. Vancouver. The Topeka and Rosalie will sail on the 12th, the Alki on the 17th, the Queen on the 22d, the Mexico on the 23d, and the Topeka on the 27th. Of these, all will go through to Dyea save the Topeka, which Will go no farther. than Juneau 'un’less business justifies. Regardless of the congestion of freight at Dyea and Skagguay and the numerous difficulties encountered by the gold seekers in getting their packs and freight transported across the sum- mit to the lakes, the rush north only seems to gain fresh impetus. Hotels and boarding houses are crowded to the utmost, stores are rushed night and day, working double shifts of clerks in filling orders and out- fitting miners for the Klondike, while streets and wharfs are jammed with goods and drays. This morning Captain Carroll of the Queen, who has long been familiar with Alaska and its trade, says men are go- ing too late in'the season, and many now at Dyea will» not be alive by the end of the winter, but still they go, and it is only a. question of transportation facilities to accommodate them. Packers ‘Are Independent. Portland, Or., Aug. 5.—John H. Smith of Portland, United States commission- er fOr Alaska, writing from Juneau, says: “There are 500 persons now at Dyea waiting to get over the pass, and there are several more steamer loads on the way. The Indian packers and the pack animals have all the freight they can carry to'the lakes by the time win- ter sets in, and hundreds of people will be camping at Dyea and on the lakes all‘ winter, eating the .provisions they have taken with them. Prices for pack- ing across the pass have risen to 25and 27 cents per pound, and the packers are independent at that.” A Rumor Denied. Tacoma, Aug. 5.—-The‘re is no truth in. the report that the Northern Pacific has refused to grant leave of absence to its employees. The railway officials say they have plenty of men to handle all their business. The street car com- panies, however, are having some trou- ble, as many of their employees have goneto the Klondike country. Heavy Gold‘Deposi‘ts at San Francisco Mint. San Francisco, Aug. 5.—All mint rec- ords were broken by the receipt of $3,- 750,000 in gold for coinage. Of this amount, $750,000 was the property of the Araska Commercial company, and the balance was deposited by various miners and smelting companies. It is said that this far exceeds any single day's deposits at any one mint. Prospectors Not Discouraged. _, San Francisco, Aug. 5.—‘The‘ steamers Noy and Walla will leave for Alaska tomorrow. The former will carry 150 Klondike passengers, who are well sup- plied with outfits and burros to go over the Chilkat pass. Reports of the snow on the mountains and Of the fearful condition both at the Chilkat and White passes have dampened the ardor of many here, but a number of vessels are advertised to sail as late as the mid- dle of'the month, and one goes by way of St. Michael’s. That vessel has about 'one chance in ten of getting its pas- sengers up the Yukon before ice comes. Two well known'brokers will leave here tomorrow with strong backing to bond any good placer mines they may find near Dawson. No mines have been bonded here and the story that New York’ investors have bonded Clarence Berry’s mines for $2,000,000 is a fake. Canada’s Precautions. Vancouver, B. 0., Aug. 5.—A private dispatch says that the Canadian gov- ernment is sending a special commis- sion to the Yukon this month, consist- ing of surveyors, geologists and tele- graph experts. Telegraph and telephone lines will be built between the principal mining camps. l Another Company Incorporated.

St. Louis, Aug. 5.-—All St. Louis is talking of the remarkable tragedy at 1718 Greer avenue, by which Mrs. Peter Hauptmann, ‘the aged wife of a whole- sale tobacconist, lost her life. Mr. Hauptmann, the husband of yes- terday’s victim, is reputed to be many times a millionaire. He was one of the most important witnesses for the prose- cution in the recent Tobacco trust trials in New York. It was at first supposed Mrs. Haupt~ mann had committed suicide and so re- ported to the first policeman who reach- ed the house. Later investigation show- ed that Mrs. Hauptmann, who was 60 years Old and feeble, had been murder-- ed in her sleep by her daughter Louise. Louise is 32 years old. She has been mentally unbalanced for a long time, but the family have cared for her at home, not wishing to place her under the rigid restraint of a public mad- house. _ Mrs. Hauptmann lay down on the lounge in the hallway to takea nap. Her daughter by a former marriage, Fredericka, was in the basement en- gaged in some household duty. Her son Will was also asleep in the house. On the second floor was the daughter. Louise. Soon after Mrs. Hauptmann had fallen into a doze it is supposed that Louise came down stairs, went into the dining room, got the bread- knife and went back into the hall, where her mother was asleep. It is believed th‘ht she drew the knife across her mother’s throat, as the knife was found beside the lounge upon which Mrs. Hauptmann took her nap. The girl then went into the dining room and asked for something to eat. This attracted the attention of Will Hauptmann, who went to call his moth- ' er. “Then he entered the hall, he found her writhing on the floor, blood spurt— ing from a. terrible gash in her throat. He raised an alarm, and' Fredericka rushed up stairs. The mother strug— gled to her feet and gasped words which her children interpreted to be. “She did it!" She then fell into the arms of Fredericka, dead. Peter Hauptmann, her husband, was summoned and the police were notified. Policeman Looney guarded the prem- ises and waited for instructions as to whether he should arrest Louise. When Louise was told that her mother was dead, she broke into a wild laugh. It has been the custom of the family to keep Louise in a special room. In some manner she escaped from it and went to rummaging about the house. Since last Sunday Louise haS'been in a bad humor. It seems that she is untidy . and inclined to be careless with regard to her personal appearance. Her moth- er insisted that she take a bath on Sun- day, and she demurred, whereupon the mother and Fredericka undertook to wash her. She fought fiercely, but was overpowered finally and bathed. To this circumstance is ascribed Louise’s intense hatred for her mother, mani— fested since Sunday and culminating in this tragic manner. Deputy Coroner Lloyd viewed the body late in the afternoon. He found the neck almost severed. STBBRS STOP A PUNBRAL.‘ A Carriage Was Smashed and Two Persons Were Injured. Cincinnati, Aug. 5.—While the funeral procession which was taking the body of John Mulvihill, to- the grave was passing Sycamore and Church streets a drove of steers passed. Several of the animals got' into a fight and ran into the carriages. A carriage, which con- tained Policeman John Connor and ex- 'Alder.man Richard-Tennis, was smash- ed, and both were thrown to the street and severely injured. The members of the dead man’s family jumped from their carriage and ran into a house. Men pounded the brutes on the heads with clubs and stones, but were una- ble to separate them. They ran against the hearse and almost upset it. All the mourners and people on the streets were frightened, and several of them had narrow escapes from being tram— pled to death. A large number of men made a rush on the animals, which were finally driven away. An Iowa Colony If: Alabama. Belle Plain, 1a., Aug. 5.—A number of Iowa families have secured a con- cession of 6,000 acres of land in Shelby county, Ala., 30 miles south of Bir- mingham. The tract is to be laid out on the colony plan, but each colonist will own his own property. The tract of land is in the great fruit and dairy belt of the state. Each colonist will get a 30 acre home for about $350. Energetic Burglars These. Oneonta, N. Y., Aug. 5.——Burglars broke into the store of V. I. & A. B.
