The latest charge of deliberately at tempting 1« deprive another man of the credit due hiin, to be laid al Dr. Cook's door.

That Dr. Cook attempted to publish this work under his own name in the re port of the Commission de la Belglca, Is charged by Charles ll, Townsend, director of the New York aquarium, and a member of the Explorers' and the Arctic clubs.

Before the voyage north was re sumed, Mr. Bridges showed Dr. Cook the inauuscrlp! he had compiled for the Yuhgan grammar and dictionary.

Herbert Bridgman, who Is a fellow member of Mr. Townsend in the Ex plorers* and Arctic clubs, said that he, too, knew of the attempt by Dr. Cook to publish the life work of the old missionary as his own.

Something of a sensation promises to develop as the result of the determination of the fed eral authorities at Washington to re move Georgo Grigsby, son of Col. Mel vin Grigsby, a prominent old veteran of this city and former attorney gen eral of South Dakota, from the posi tion of United States attorney for the district of Alaska. In an effort to induce the Wasbing ton authorities to change their minds and at the same time set himself right before them, George Grigsby now has gone to Washington, the United States attorney general having granted him a hearing. Although Mr. Grigsby himself has not yet made public his own version of the trouble In which he finds himself, those in a position to know say his present difficulty is due to his having in his official c»|»:»c'*y nrctasonizci the? man who in Alaska represents the Guggenheim interests, which it hus frequently been charged in the public press have been striving to secure control of vast water rights, mineral I lands and other property in Alaska.

PANIC FOLLLOWS FIRST OUTCRY AT A PERFORMANCE IN SCHENECTADY. Men, Women and Children Join In Wild Fight to Escape.—Several Faint, but Only One Person, a Woman, Hurt. Schenectady, New York. The main tent of the Barnum and Bailey circus caught fire at the afternoon's performance, when the great canvas walled inclosure was crowdei with 15,000 persons and burned completely within less than an hour. A panic started at the first outcry and iu an instant thousands were engaged in a mad scramble for the exits. The cir- cus employes kept their heads and worked valiently to check the excite ment but in the rush for safety they were swept aside. Several of them were knocked down and trampled under the feet of the frantic crowd. Men, women and children tumbled off the high-decked tiers of narrow blue seats to scramble and fight with one another in an effort to reach the earth below. They ran into the rings, entangling themselves in the guy ropes and fell over the show gear. One I woman was injured but not severly I and hundreds fainted and were car ried out by the policemen, firemen and showpeople. The fire is thought to have started I from a lighted match that was drop ped by a boy in the bleachers. The blaze started on a guy rope and climbed to the roof, which burned as if it had been coated with oil. The flames spread fast, feeding on acre wide stretches of dry cloth and the painted poles. In an incredibly short time the whole of the main top was ablaze, The wind eddying under the side walls made cross currents that sent I blazing brands living in every direc tion. First reports were that all the spec tators had escaped in safety. A min ute or two later word came that a number of persons had been crushed in the press or injured by falling rig ging, but that, so far as could be as certained, no one had been killed out right. This last report turned out to be an exaggeration, however. Before, very long, the circus management was able to assure the city authorities that only a single spectator had been burnt and that while a few of the cir cus people had been injured by falling debris, none of them was in a serious condition. While some of the circus staff, aided by performers, policemen and cooler headed citizens, tried to re strain the rush, the canvasmen and animal trainers, working with the dis cipline of a perfect organization, struck the menagerie and the lesser tents and removed all the stock, the caged animals and the horses to places of safety without casualties. 70,000 GET WAGE INCREASE.

An event of sur prising interest to the millions of Catholics in the United States and to other millions in other countries throughout the entire world was the consecration of six bishops of the Catholic faith at St. Paul's seminary, St. Paul. Shortly after the arrival of Mgr. Diomede Falconio, papal delegate t«\ the United States, in St. Paul, the announcement was made that Arch bishop Fergus Patrick MacEvay oi! Toronto, Can., the official representa tive of the Catholics in that country, would arrive, accompanied by Rev. Dr. Burke, president of the Canadian Catholic Church Extension society, one of the foremost missioners in Canada. The seminary grounds at Groveland park presented a spectacle, never be fore witnessed in the Northwest. At 9:30 sharp the cadets of St. Thomas college formed in front of the aula maxima on the southern edge of the grounds, and the seminarians, num bering about 150, took their places be hind the cadets. The robes of office were donned by the six new bishops in the administra tion building, but they did not wear the costly robes with which they were adorned within the chapel. The services were the most impressive in the chapel. As only the clergy and very few invited guests can be accom modated in such a small edifice, the general public had no opportunity to attend these services. Bishops-elect and Chaplains. The bishops-elect attended by their chaplains, of which each has four, filed down the aisle and when the altar rail was reached they went to the right or epistle side of the alter, the attendant chaplains seating them selves on the left of the altar.
