Mr. Cornish, the master in chancery, who -is to auction oft the road, is the only man who knows just how many bids are to bo made, and I know that he will not discuss the mat- ter. He Is an officer of the court, and today (Monday.) The St Petersburg correspondent of the Chronicle says: "A hundred men prominent in Russian scientific circles, have asked permission to follow Capt. Sverdrup's" expedition." A SMOKE killed herself by taking poison on Friday evening, is still unsolved. She was a daughter of W.

C. Holywell of Red- lands. Sho had few acquaintances here. The letter and telegram found among her effects which seemed to show that a gentleman In whom she was interested had- recently died, are now believed to have been written by herself. Tha names signed to them are unknown to any of her friends or relatives, and are thought to be fictitious.

The girl, who was very studious and of a retiring disposition, shunning alike the society of men and women, appears- to have been mentally Those who have investigated the circumstances surrounding her suicide, are under the opinion that she was the victim of a morbid fancy that a man who had no existence in fact was dying for her sake. Possessed of this mania she tried to kill herself last Monday night but was saved from death. Then came 'the news, presumably in her own handwriting, that her imaginary lover was dead." After this she took the poison she had previously procured, and soon was dead. The case Is a strange one, and the only tenable explanation of the affair is that the young woman was afflicted with a peculiar form of insanity. The only clew to the mystery so far obtained' is the fact that on the cover of a Harvard-college register found among the dead girl's effects was the name of Charles Ruggles.

Her father says that a young man of that name was a fellow-student with Miss Holywell at the Redlands High School, but he could not say whether or not his middle name was Arthur. The letter and telegram which were thought to have led to the suicide, spoke of the supposed sweetheart simply as Arthur. It has been learned that Miss Holywell was. addicted to the use of morphine.

About 6:60 o'clock George Baumgart-ner, the day mixologist, appeared for duty. He noticed the cash register was not behind the bar; he awoke Lon Sanders and asked him where the register was.

Lon thought it a Joke and looked around. He then saw that some one had taken the article while. he was taking his nap. A search was made and the register was found several hundred feet away in the rear of A. Johnson's wholesale liquor house and rifled of the contents to the extent of $203.

The culprits in their haste overlooked $25 in gold and about $75 in bills, silver and checks. Deputy Sheriff Collett was soon on the scene, but as yet not the least clew can be found.

While Mr. Millar disclaimed all knowledge regarding the prospective rivals to (he Reorganization Commit tee for the possession of the union Pacific, it was evident from his man ner that he was quite sure that the committee would have no competitors.

Regarding the future of the road after it has passed into the hands of the Reorganization Committee, Mr. Millar said: "The actual turning over of the property to the purchaser will be at some time in the future, depending very largely upon who is the purchaser. It will, of course, be out of the question for the purchaser who buys the road at It o'clock to assume control at noon. It will be simply a matter of convenience for the purchaser. I have known instances where roads have been bought by reorganization pnmmlttPA anil thpso commit tees have not been entirely prepared to assume control of the road Just at the instant, the receivers have been allowed to run the road for two or three months, of course under the direction of the owners.

Then, when the purchasers had most all things ready they took hold and managed the property themselves. Now, if the Reorganization Committee gets this road." and Mr. Millar smiled a contented smile, "that Is what it will do. The receivers will handle the road until the committee. If the committee be the purchaser," and again Mr.

Milt lar smiled happily, "is ready to assume lormal control of the road." All of the receivers who are here, and the other members of the- Reorganization Committee, repeated substantially the interview of Mr. Millar. NO FRAUD INTENDED. ASSOCIATED PRESS NIGIIT RETORT. KANSAS CITT Oct.

HIRSCHFELDER'S CURE.

DR. J. MOUNT DLEYER CALLS IT A NOXIOUS OSTIUM. The Alleged Consumption Remedy Discredited by a l'ronilnent Kew York Physician Tlie Sernni ia Simply Filth. BY THE TIMES' SPECIAL WIRE.

NEW TORK, Oct 81. Special Dispatch. Dr. Hirschfelder's remedy is not entirely accepted here, or at least his formula as published has been the mibjeot of criticism. Dr.

J. Mount Bleyer, a physician of considerable reputation in pulmonary diseases, sends a long letter to the Sun, In which he Bays: I read a dispatch from San Francisco giving a formula of. an alleged discovery oy ur. mrscmeiaer oi a mixture- he calls oxytuberculin, with which he asserts he has cured several cases of consumption. For the credit of the- profession and the Interests of humanity, I feel constrained to take up the cudgels and denounce such statements.

An infant in chemistry can have nothing but scorn for any man, calling himself a physician, who tries to foist such a formula on the profession and ask it to believe he is earnest in his assertions. "What an absurd and unscientific statement! The very, principles upon Which he bases his discovery, and it'a chemistry, are against all fundamental laws from beginning to end. When peroxide of hydrogeoncomes in contact with any albuminous matter it undergoes an instantaneous change, and bo does the material. Oxygen does its work 'at once and evaporates, its usefulness being ended. It Is necessary to keep peroxide of hydrogen in a cool place, preferably on Ice, to maintain its uniform Integrity.

-p- I WHY PELAGIC SEALING SHOULD SB PROHIBITED. Norwegian Government Sends a Re- lief Expedition After Prof. An- dree Austrian Premier Said to Have Reslsned. ASSOCIATED PRESS NIGHT REPORT.) LONDON, Oct 31. By Atlantic Cable.

Herman Liebes. of the North American Commercial Company, and one of the lessees of the Pribyloff Islands, has made a statement -in refutation of the case put forward by Mr. Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, in his recent dispatch, to Secretary Sherman. Mr. Liebes says, in part: "There can be no doubt whatever that the Pribyloff Islands are legitimately owned by the United States, and the United States had an undoubted right to grant a lease of the seal fisheries upon the islands to the highest bidder, viz: my company, and there can be no further doubt that the States government has an absolute right to permit the lesses of the islands to kill every seal frequent ing the rookeries.

If America were to exercise its right to kill off all tha seals upon the Pribyloff Islands, the whole seal herd would be extermi nated in less -than a week, and the nelasrlo sealing in the Bering Sea would be brought to a summary end. The object of America, nowever, is 10 preserve and not to exterminate the seal, though we may be ultimately driven in self-defense to kill off the seals, as under present conditions, sealing is not profitable. "What is desired by America ana the lessees of the Pribvloff Islands -is that all parties interested, both in land and ocean sealing, without a moment's loss of time, confer together with a view of considering whether or not some arrangement cannot be made oy which, With fair and equitable terms to all parties, the herd can be protected, i don't myself, believe that any solution can be found which does not include as one of its terms the absolute prohibition of all pelagic sealing. This ought not to be a diffloult matter to arrange, having regard to what I assert as an undoubted fact, viz: that pelagic sealing is not and cannot be under present conditions profitable. "A great deal has been said about Russia and Japan.

It is suggested that, as they were not parties to the Paris treaty, and are not bound by any regulations, and are said to be concerned only in the seal fisheries of the western and hot the eastern coasts of 4he- North Paoiflc. their presence at any. conference would be out- of place, and would 'be only desired by America to secure from these countries a majority vote against British interests. The whole objection to Russia and Japan being represented at any' conference is, I venture to think, most unreasonable. There is no question of voting In the matter, the conference is merely with a view to arriving, if possible, at some solution by which the herd shall be saved from extermination, but so many difficulties and delays arise that I very much fear that by the time the conference has been held there will be no seals to confer about." BRITISH MARKETS.

Money Is Plentiful at Lower Rates. American Shares Dull. ASSOCIATED PRESS NIGHT REPORT.) LONDON, Oct. 31. By Atlantic Cable.

Money is temporarily plentiful, and as a result the rates show a downward tendency. The sales of American securities have ceased; and it Is expected that London will have to settle the adverse trade balance in bullion, though large gold withdrawals are not expected. Since the raising of the bank rate the demand for gold has been confined to the open market. Short loans are freely offered at 2, to 2 per cent The markets were dull in. the early part of last week, because of the settlement, but toward the end the movements were irregular, but more cheerful.

Home railway securities improved through the more favorable reports as to the engineering strike. American railway securities were depressed until yesterday, falling from 1 to 2 per cent. Union Pacific shares were largely sold on the report that the sale of the line would be postponed, and they did not recover much, because it was presumed that the higher price to be paid would damage the shareholders.

KNEW HOW TO USE MOBPHTNE. TRIED TO KILL HERSELF MONDAY EVENING. LAST The Kins; Letter Was Written and Mailed by Herself Death of S. F. Smnrr Biff Fire at BY THE TIMES' SPECIAL WTRB.1 BERKELEY, Oct.

31 Dispatch'. It has been -virtually determined that Anna Holywell not only composed and wrote the strange letter from "Ells R. King," that told of the death of the mythical Arthur, the hero of her sentimental dreams, but that she herself took it to San Francisco to post, The statement that a university student answering her description had procured a few sheets of mourning paper at a stationery store of Nellie Abbott, has been amply verified. Mrs. Abbott viewed and practically identified the body yesterday as that of the customer, of mourning paper of the same kind as that upon which the King letter was written, and which was found in the room of the dead girl.

The similarity of the handwriting has become more apparent and It is known to a certainty through Nat Gulberson of the Berkeley football team, that the girl was in San Francisco Sunday evening, so she could have posted the letter. Mrs. Nellie Abbott, the Berkeley stationer, is almost positive that the dead girl Is the one to whom she gave a few sheets of mourning paper several days before -the suicide. While not positive of the Identification, Mrs. Abbott found a strong similarity in the features of the dead girl to those of the young student who asked for mourning paper.

Dr. Joseph E. Eastman clears away part of the deep mystery that has shrouded the reasons fotv the girl's act. Dr. Eastman's story furnishes additional evidence that the young schoolgirl carefully planned her.

destmct! while temporarily or permanently insane. She was addicted to the use of morphine. She was familiar with the use of the drug, and was eyually conversant with the proper metfod to procure it and in large doses. The dead girl was studious too studious, In fact for her own health. That fact is attributed as one of the causes of insomnia with which she was troubled, relief from which she sought by.

using the drug whica she finally employed in her destruction. A trunkful of letters received by her from friends and members of her family reveal the fact that she was constitutionally morose and melancholy, since every letter found by the Coroner evinced a persistent effort on the part of her correspondents to cheer her with encouraging words. It also transpires that the girl has long entertained the Idea that death Was preferable to life's struggle. It is related by Miss Garland, one of her closest friends, and one of the few girls who may be said to have possessed her confidence, that her mind was in a morbid state most of the time. She talked of death as a thing desired.

Before she left her home at Redlands to enter the university she declared to Miss Garland that she wanted to make the trip North by steamer, and then she hoped that, an awful storm would come up and the vessel be swallowed up in the tempest. Such a death, she said, would be so peaceful and attended with so little suffering. In the opinion of Miss Garland, the girl came all the distance away from home that she might kill herself without inconvenience to her family or friends. Dr. Eastman was called in attendance when she first attempted to take her life on Monday last He brought her out of her stupor without much trouble that evening.

Dr. Eastman waa suspicious, however, that the girl had tried to kill herself, and during her attention upon her that night and two ensuing days endeavored to extract the story from her. "She was careful and guarded in her answers," said Dr. Eastman, "but what Bhe told me in response to cross-questioning throws enough light on her peculiar habits, disposition and manner of living to lead me to believe that she was addicted to the use of morphine, and carefully planned her own death." Dr. Eastman said after she had recovered consciousness and was sufficiently able to withstand cross-examination, he accused her of having made an attempt to take her life, and asked her whether It was not so.

She would not answer the question directly, but after a pause she declared with some emphasis that she wished she had taken more of drug. "And why do you wish you had taken more of the drug?" asked Dr. Eastman. "To make me Bleep," waa the re-Joinder. how long did you want to sleep?" be asked.

"Oh, forever," she replied in a nonchalant tone of voice. "Oh, now, that's not fair to draw me into such an admission. You should not ask me such questions'," she continued. Dr. Eastman prescribed for the patient and she went to the trouble and expense of having the prescription filled.

She the medicine, but never tasted it, which, In the opinion of Dr. Eastman, showed how her mind wavered during the interval between Monday evening and the time of her death. The father of the dead girl arrived from the southern part of the State last evening and went directly to Berkeley. The sorrowing parent would not believe that his daughter bad ended her own life, and insisted that she must have taken an overdose of morphine by accident He could offer no explanation at to the King letter or the telegram.
