NO KLONDIKE RELIEF
Wm Depmtment Abandous Its Expedi-
v tion "to 1:1 lieve Destitute ’hI/incrs.
Washington, March
partn. ent has decided to abandon its
expedition f01 the relief of the miners
in the Klondike country because the
conclusion has been reached that no
ger has written a letter to Senator
Hawley, chairman of the Senate Com-
mittee on Military Affairs, explaining
the Department's position and asking
that Congress take action by joint' res-
olution authorizing the Department
to dispose of the supplies purchased for
the expedition, including the reindeer
which have just arrived from Norway,
and to abandon the project entirely.
In his letter Secretary Alger says the
conditions on the Yukon have changed
so as to render the expedition un—
necessary and that General Miles and
General Merriam ‘both agree with him;
He is also advised to this effect by the
Canadian MiniSLer of the Interior.
Later advices than those received last
December, when the expedition was de-
cided upon, indicate, he says, that
the miners are in no danger of suffering
and he thinks that the great crowds of
prospectms now going in over Dyea
Pass will carry sufficient piovisions to
divide with the miners in case they
need assistance.
General Alger expressed the opinion
that the reindeer can be sold at a price
sufficient to reimburse the GOVernment
for their cost. He says he has been
offered $100 each for them. This amount
is above the cost price; He also states
that the Interior Departmentis anxious
to take charge of the animals. He also
asks for authority to sell the supplies
purchased for the expedition.
The Military Committee met yester-
day, but did not act upon the request.
RARE AND VALUABLE SEEDS.
(Government. Agent Secured hIany Varie-
ties in Eastern Europe and Asia.
W'ashington, March 2.— Secretary
Wilson of the Agricultural Department
in pursuance of his determination, as
fares practical, to utilize the agricul-
tural seed appropriation in securing
“new,,rare and valuable” seeds, dis—
patched ProfesSor Nilse E. Hansen to
Eastern Europe and Asia to secure new
seeds and plants and to ascertain what
the people- at the original cradle of
mankind had been doing to adapt.
plants to their conditions.
Professor Hansen is now preparing
his report for publication after a trip
involving many thousands of miles of
travel'in Eastern Russia, Trans-Cau-
casia, Russian Turkestan, Western
China and Siberia. The trip was a
successful one, many promising varie-
ties being obtained.
About three cailoads of seed will be
distributed to State experiment stations
and others. These seeds, it is expected,
will be chiefly of value in the arid re-
gions, the purpose of Professor Han-
sen’s trip being to obtain such as were
distinguished for resistance to drought
and heat.
, Illurdered 9. Lone Wor'nan.
Doylestown, Pa., March 2.—Infor1na—
tion reached here yesterday that An-
nie L. Edwards, who resided at Jami—
son, this county, a short distance
from Doylestown, was found murdered
in herbedroom Monday night. The
woman’s head was beaten almost to a
jelly, and the room which she occu-
pied bore evidence of a terrible strug—
gle. There is no clue to the murderer,
neither is there any evidence as to the
time the murder actually occurred. The
last time the woman was seen alive
was on Friday night, and as she lived
, alone in the house the perpetrators of
the terrible crime have had ample
time to escape. A chair and a water
pitcher had been used to beat the wom-
an’s brains out and both were found
covered with blobd and matted hair.
The motive of the crime was doubtless
robbery.
Made ~Half a Million in the Klondike.
' New Yerk, March 2.-—J. R. Nachant,
formerly of Syracuse, but now a resi-
dent of Dawson City, is at the New
Amsterdam Hotels He went to Daw-
son four years ago. He cleared up
$500,000 in gold during that time, and
has claims that are valued at $1,000,000
more. Nachant brought with him
$300 for assay, and also some very
glowing stories about .the weaith in
the Klondike country. He declares
that the gold belt through Alaska is
broader and deeper than any person
ever dreamed of, and there is an im-
mense territory open to all who care to
endure the hardships necessary to de-
velop it. There is no lack of provisions
at Dawson City, he declares. Nachant
is anxious to get back to the gold
country, and expects to return to-day.

number of ._ matches in her hair and
wrapping herself in a. rug, Mary Con-
ley, of No. 38 Third avenue, rolled up.

flames and an ambulance took the
woman to the Homoeopathic Hospital,
where 'she died early yesterday morn-
ing. It is said that she committed
suicide through grief over the death of
her'intended, who perished in the re-
cent» Pike street» fire. Before her death

ney has arrived here winning one of

further north.

SAVING LIFE 'BY TELEPHO E.
Partfl‘hey Take in the Rescue of I,
_' ' wrecked Sailors. _'
The tetal length of life~sa1' 111g tele-
phone lines is, it is stated, 1113-1115
1,000 miles, and them are more than
200 telephone cOnnections at life-save
ing stations, half-way places, light—
houSes and other points in connection
with the service,.'covering the Atlan-
tic coast from Maine to Hatteras Inlet
N. H. Linemen’s work on the coast is
not a pleasant duty, the trips being
long, with dangerous inlets to be cross-
ed, and there is but little shelter on the
beaches in stormy weather. The one
man who has charge of the 100 miles
of the North Carolina section has to
make most of his trips on muleback.
At seme points on the coast of Cape
Cod the half-way places are connect-
ed by telephone with the main line.
‘The designation of “half—way” is ap-
plied to a placeabout midway between
two life-saving stations, where the pa-
trols meet and exchange checks during
the night watches. The object in con-
necting the half-way places is to ena-
ble the patrols to send in an alarm of
wreck or report vessels that may be in
dietress in the vicinity of the‘ half-way
place without having to run back
through miles of loose sand, and per-
haps in the face of [a gale, to notify
their station. Many a time when, ,lIl
theold days, this had to be done, the
ship and crew were under water be—
fore help arrived, that now would have
been saved—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Taught to Pick Up a. Straw with Their
Eyelids.
The dancing girls of Siam are re-
markable for the agility and grace of
theii movements. The cup dance is
the prettiest and most poetic of all. A
row of young girls, with a tier of cups
on their heads, take their places in
the middle of the great hall. A burst
of joyous music follows. On hearingthis
they simultaneously, with military pre-
pision, kneel 'down, told their hands and
bow than heads until their foreheads
almost touch the polished marble floor,
keeping the cups steadily on their
beads by some marvelous jerk of the
neck. Then, suddenly springing to
their feet, they describe a succession of
rapid and intricate circles, keeping
