The French Transatlantic Steamship company as certs that there Is nothing to con firm the theory that tho General Chunzy became unmanageable and attributes her disaster, In which 156 lives were lost, solely to the fact that there Is but one feeble light on the north roast of Minorca inland, in the leo or which Captain Cayole sought shelter In the terrible storm.

Tho cross examination was undor tnkon by John J. Vcrtrees of Nash ville, Tenn., attorney for Secretary Balllngor. Mr. Vcrtrees drew from tho witness tho fact that ho made no charges of corruption against any one In tho land ofilco or In tho depart ment or the Interior. Glnvls doclarod that If he had found evidence of cor ruption ho would have taken the matter to a grand Jury Instead of to tho president. Through a process of elimination, Mr, Vertrees had the witness exoner ate all of the other officials or agents of the land office and the department of the Interior. Glavls 'said ho thought the facts warranted tho opinion that Mr. Dal linger and Mr. Dennett acted Im properly and ho charged them with official misconduct. Glavls repeated tho statement he had mado on direct examination that bo was convinced that tho interior department was not In safo hands nnd that the peoplo's interests were not in safe hands.

NEW GOLD FIELDS IN ALASKA Placer Districts Found in Innoko Which Promise Heavy Returns. Washington, Feb. 15. Alaska, which Secretary Balllnger has fre quently said Is America's prize pack age, may bo a greater prize than man has ever dreamed. Recent investiga tions in tho Innoko district, the Cen tral Kuskokwim valley and tho now Huldltarod district now partially fin ished by the United States geological survey, disclose now placer gold districts which prom'se very heavy returns. The little territory bought from kltUHsla for $7,000,000 In 1SC7 has to the present time paid $100,000, 000 In gold alono Btnco 1S80 when plnrer mining tluro began, and what the resources of Its copper, cpal and other minerals will be is beyond tho estimation or man.

Kills Girl and Himself. Danville. 111., Feb. 15. Guy Rob berta shot and klllod Nellie Mayflold and then committed suicide in ' the Southern hotel here last night. Jeal ousy Is supposed to have been tbe cause. Cream of Editorial Opinion And thou too, Moics! It is more than confiding constituents can bear, this hell- ism charge that Moses Kinkaid, the tablet- eating congressman from the Sixth district of Nebraska, has been caught with both his soft, white hands smeared by the touch of black coal in the Guggenheim coal land frauds in Alaska. How could you do it, Mose? You, who for twenty years have been the love-light in the eyes of all Nc braskansl And yet there are the marks upon your hands. Never a whitewash brush can be concocted white enough to hide the marks. I do not grieve for you. You deserve all you shall get, and that will be a political grave so deep that even so mighty a friend as Dennis Crom'n will not be strong enough to resurrect you. It is for Denny and kindred admirers that my sympathy oozes. Columbus Telegram. Just a tariff fact to look over. The wool schedule has remained practically the same for fifteen years. There is a big tax on wool for the purpose of "protecting the wool grower." The number of sheep per capita has decreased during the past ten years, Today there is about five-sevenths of a sheep per capita in the United States. Yet every man, woman and child in the republic is taxed an average of $7.35 each' to protect five-sevenths of one sheep. That's more than a whole sheep is worth, wool and all. Yet there are several mil lions of men who show by their votes that they hold to the belief that a protective tariff, if it is high enough, will make wool grow on the back of a hydraulic ram. Red Cloud Chief. The News-Blade will contribute a five dollar bill to a fund to prevent the location of the new state normal school at Chadron. We want it understood that we bear no ill-will toward Chadron, but the attempt to shove a state institution of that character over the'state line, where its usefulness will be crippled for all time, is an outrage and an insult to the intelligence of the people of western Nebraska. It should be prevented by all means. Bridgeport News-Blade. It will have to be admitted that the poli cy of the initiative and referendum is not very popular when neither side to a scrap is not ready to submit to the verdict of the majority. Grand Island Independent. We want to say that if "Uncle Mose" Kinkaid has taken a1 chance in the coal-land lottery in Alaska, we hope he will not have drawn a blank as most of them have. Dee. With United States Commissioner Bal llnger as his attorney it is hardly probable that he drew a blank. Custer county Dea con The dismissal of Prof. Crabtree should bring about the political and official un doing of every person directly responsible. Let this be the slogan passed all over the state. Those who desire the removal of Crabtree are only a lot .of political sore heads who have long since lived their time of political usefulness to this state. Hast ings Republican. The Bridgeport Blade 'offers 85.00 to a fund to prevent the location of the Normal school at Chadron. We can appreciate now urotner uyncn leeis about it, but we feel it is too late to kick now. However, it relieves the feelings to offer to wreak vengeance on the chumps who voted to locate the Normal school at Chadron where it will receive the smallest possible num ber of students. ScottsblufI Herald. The educational people of Nebraska are up in arms (and they should be) over the removal of Prof. J. W. Crabtree from the presidency of the Peru Normal college, When a political board gets so small that they disregard the educational interests of Nebraska to vent a political spite against a recognized educator like Prof. Crabtree, things are In a serious condition. It is too bad public men cannot rise above their party politics. Valley Enterprise (rep.) Mr. Taft is quoted as saying ho hopes on his retirement from the presidency that he can point to things done and not to a "record of noise and fury and hypocritical demagogy." The report does not say thai ho was looking at Teddy's picture as he said this. If it is justice, it seems to us like a queer brand of it, that sends to the penitentiary the subordinate employes of the sugar trust that got mixed up in the sugar weighing scandal in the New York customs house, and at the same time lets the "higher up" officials oft with a fine that they will never miss. It is ridiculous to claim that while the employes of the sugar trust were stealing from the government until tho amount had run up into the millions of dollars, all of which went into the pockets and coffers of the trust magnates, that the "higher up" officials of the trust knew nothing about it ;When it is determined to let rascals go un punished, some kind of an ex cuse can always be found.
