Cal., Dec. 22 J. E. Perrins, until recently president of the New England AVhip company, started from tli is eity today with a party of fifteen others for a new gold geld in the Northwest Territory. The new field is said to extend over fifteen miles along- a tributary of the Stickeen river, and to be even richer than the Klondike country. In one of Ins letters to parties here concerning the discovery, Dawson, after whom Dawson City was named, states that the region gives every indication of abundance of gold, but that it is even more inaccessible than Klondike, there being but one way to get in, and that extremely dangerous. The nearest trading post or point of communication with the outside world is several hundred miles. Those who left this morning have been quietly preparing for the trip for five months, keeping everything secret, as they wixn to get in before any exciteineut causes a rush. The party will leave San Francisco tomorrow for Victoria, H. C. By steamer from there they go to Fort AYrangle, and thence overland by the Stickeen river to their objective point. The information regarding the new field has come direct from Messrs. Ogilvie and Dawson.Canadiau otfic'.als, who a year ago made a survey of the Northwest Territory. Acting upon instructions of these tfeutle-men- , Air. Perrins has limited his party to sixteen. Alessrs. Ogilvie and Dawson will join the party at Victoria. - por-tions- HofT's !

The grand jury has voted to indict Professor AViliiam Smith of Ivirkville, AIo., for the robbery of the Dunning morgue on Octohli-u- ber 21 last. AYith him it was voted to hold Henry Hullrich, the watchman, and John Eudes, the teamster. The charge upon which the iudict-ment- s were voted was burglary and not Under the laws of Illinois, a human body has no value unless it is in a grave. The theft of bodies outside of graves is not larceny, but the ghouls who visited the IluDning morgue broke open a door and took away with them the shrouds in which the bodies were wrapped. This constitutes the crime of burglary. Alore indictments may be found, as it is reported other persons are implicated. John Coming. John E. Redmond, M.

Pullman Accepts Dower Interest, Chicago, Dec. 21. Airs. George M. Pullman has decided to accept her dower interest in the estate of her husband instead of abiding by the terms of the will. Aecordiug to the will she was given 850,000 in cash, the homestead in Chicago, and the ineome from 81,250,000 during her life, the sura to revert to the estate after her death. Her acceptance of the will would have made it practicably impossible for her to leave anything to the two sons who were practically disinherited by their father. Her third interest of the dower gives her 83,000,000 interest in the interest in property and a the property held by Air. lullmnn. one-thir- d Union Men to Leave Natiora1 liaard. Chicago, Dee. 21. The Tiines-Uerald says: Trades unionists are required by the Chicago Federation of Labor to leave the national guard at once. This was the unanimous decision reached the delegates at their regular by weekly meeting. It was said without contradiction that a union man could not consistently serve in the militia and incur the risk of being called out to shoot down fellow trades unionists who were on strike for betterment of their economic condition So every trades unionist who is now a member of the Illinois national guard will be required to secure a discharge from military service at once. Zertueha Now Mayor ot Bejm-a- Havana, Doc. 21. Dr. Zertueha, who x as the physician of the late General Alaceo, has been appointed mayor of Bejueal, this province. Zertueha his belonged in his day to all the political parties iu Cuba. At one time he was a bandit in the Yuelta Abajo, and his record was very discreditable. It was quite inexplicable to the friends of .Vaeeo that he kept the physician on his staff for so long a period, notuilh-standin- g the warnings given him. Alaceo used to say that .ertueha's fault was his drinking habit. 1 - CENSURES GAGE. Warning I.etter to the Administration by the New Hampshire Senator, AYashington, D. C., rec. 20. Senator Chandler of New Hamrishire has written a letter to the AAashington Post, in which he says: If the secretary ot the "treasury and his single gold standard associates will cease their demand for impossible currency legislation, congress wil pass the necessary appropriation bills; probably take care of Hawaii and Cuba; there will not be a serious party division during the session, and there will be an adjournment in Alay. Business will revive, the balance of trade will continue in our favor, and the Republican party will, in November, 1893, elect a majority of the house in the Fifty-fift- h congress. On the other hand, if Secretary Gage continues to press upon congress a bill, the object of which, he says, is first to commit the country more thoroughly to the gold standard, and the immediate result of which is to throw doubts upon the sincerity of the presidents declarations in favor of contin-ne- d efforts to secure bimetallism, a political turmoil will arise in congress which will split the now united Republican party into fragments, while it will unite and consolidate the now Incongruous opposal. It is not feasible to retire the greenbacks; there is more probability that a bill will be sent to the president to increase their amount. It is not possible to secure the passage through either house of a bill making the greenbacks into gold notes or authorizing bonds payable in gold. The effort to effect either thing will probably result in the passage of a bill for the redemption of the greenbacks in silver dollars, aud for the payment of all United States bonds in gold or silver coin, in the discretion of the president, who will be commanded to exercise his opinion for the advantage of the governn ent. and not for the advant- England Wants Hawaii. New York, Dee. 2d. The downfall of the Dole government and the restoration of the monarchy, with Kaic-lani- , niece of former Queen Liliuoka'.a-ni- , reigning under British domination, is the future predicted for Hawaii by annexationists in case of the rejection of the pending treaty by the i senate, says the AYashington correspondent of the Herald. Leading members of the Senate committee on foreige relations appear unanimous in the belief that when the treaty is called up after the holidays evidence will be furnished to prove that there is some secret work now going on in this direction. It is alleged that the Iiawaiians now in this city to protest against the ratification of the treaty, are here in the interest of Kaiulani, and that English influence is behind the movement. Members of the committee declare there is something even more substantial than this to prove that the failure of United States to take Hawaii means European domination over the islands. Just what this information is members of the committee decline' to divulge, but the signigeantstatement was made that when the facts were brought out in executive session of the senate it would bring to the support of the treaty several senators who are now on the other side. It is on account of this secret infor mation in possession of the committee that Senator Davis will oppose the discussion of the treaty in open ses. sion. He will insist on its considera-behinclosed doors, aud he will be supported in this proposition by all of the members of the committee. d UINTAH OPENING.

Railway Branch From Cisco to the La Sal Mountains Will be Built. Denver, Dec. 20. Colonel Dodge has been interviewed regarding reports that the Rio Grande VAestern would build a branch from the r.ew mining district in Paradox valley and La Sal mountains in Utah and Colorado, and said: If, upon investigation, Para dox valley is found to be even as rich in copper and other hiinerals as the published accounts have it, the Western will build a branch from Cisco into the valley. I am waiting to see and talk to a mining man from Paradox valley, who is expected in the city within a few days, and What he tells me may influence the action of our company in regard to the proposed branch. Then we will await developments and see what the country amounts to before taking any final action. If the mining man I speak of leads me to believe great things of the district, we will send an engineering corps over the route and will make all preparations to go ahead with the work of grading the road as soon as we feel justified in believing that the district is anything like the copper country that it is reported to be. We will give the wagon road now in course of construction from Cisco a chance to learn what profit there is in Paradox valley ore before we take any final steps, but as appearances indicate now the branch of our road will probably be built." one-four- th Children Cremate!.
