CANADIAN ANNEXATION.
What the distinguished Lecturer Says on
the Subject.

Joseph Cook, who has been lecturing IN
Helena and Butte within the past week,
spoke at Winnipeg on "Canadian Anne>a-
ton" He said: 81 may tell you that
there are no men of Importance or pronl-
nence in the United States who discuss the
question at all. We now and then hear OF
an essay by Professor Goldwin Smith en-
the subject Many think if Canada had
been part of the Union before the war, the
war would never have taken place, because
the North would have been sufficiently
strong enough to overawe the South. The
Union is very strong at present. and there
is no desire on the part of the Americans
for annexation. Of course, if Canada dc
sired union and knocked very heavily at
the door, the Union would rejoice, and
give the Dominion very hearty welcome.
In the meantime, the subject is attracting
very little attention on our side.' He de-
clared himself in favor of imperial fedora
! ton, if carried out on the plan OF the
! American Union, local selEgoyernn'cn,
being attained.

Report Of the Chief of Ordnance.

Brigadier General Benet, Chief OF Ord
nance of the army, has submitted his an
nual report of the expenditures of the de-"
rartment during the year, Including those
attending the sales of condemned stores,
and amounted to $2,o15,c55. The report
of operations at the Rock Island arsenal is
submitted. The erection of shops and
storehouses has been conducted econoni-
cally and thoroughly. The last appropri-
alton of $2oo,ooo for general care, etc, is
not deemed adequate 10 the necessaries of
the arsenal. During the year 35,133 rifles,
carbiirb and st1otguns have been manu-
factured at the national armory. Much has
been done in manufacturing magazine guns.
General Bener says the condition OF our
coast dcfenses is a matter of great concern,
and calls for immediate action, and he
hopes before the end of the ensuing session
that Congress will show to the country its
.nnreciation of these national wants by
liberal and permanent annual appropr'a-
tons.

Demoyest's Monthly says that in speaking
of the Nile suggests Africa. and recalls
the fact that the commercialnations OF the
world are organizing to open up the inte-
rior Of the Dark Continent1D trade. There
is a population of nearly saooo, 600, who
have so far been shut Oft rom the com
,nerce OF the rest OF the world. The in
habitants Of Congo Land are far superior
in every way to the negroes Of both the
east and west coast Of Ahfa. They are
more industrious and in abigher scale OF
standardization. Central 1rica now pro-
dnces many articles Of prilf necessity to
the rest of the world, and VII in time con~
sumo vast quantities Of gCOds in the way
of clothing and ornaments, rs we'll as some
luxuries. There is strife Between the diff
ferent nations as to which shall profit by
this trade, but, of course, tie United States
is out Of the race, as Europe can undersell
us, and we have no SLIPS OF our own.
Naturally Grea, Britain vonld profit most
by the opening of the Congo country, but
France is first in the fel4, and Germany
has entered her claim forsan equality with
other nations. The latter ower is making
itself felt in every quaftkr of the globe

Of the seas and as. ownd Of vast colonia

A sIcKENIlasIGHr
A Murderer's Painful xhibition of Cow
ardice ON tlscanold.

At San Jose, Califotnia, ON Oct. ,4th,
Dan. Wasielewskys Was executed at II
O'Clock. He was native Of Poland, aged
90 years, butcher Is tfade.s In 1879 he
was sentenced to three years in the Peni-
Tertiary for cattle stealing. Before incar-
ceration he warned his wife that if she pro-
cured divorce he would kill her when he
got out. His wife paid no attention to the
threat, got divorce, and married again.
When Wasielewsky was discharged, he
sought his former, wife, and on March 24th
Of the present year, stabbed her thirteen
times. She lived long enough to inform
the authorities of the name Of her mur-
derer. Wasielewsky was arrested at Sill
yer City, New Mexico. He tried to starve
himself to death in Jail, but his courage
ALWAYS failed him. He had to be assisted
to the scaffold, and was so completely
overcome by fear, that, while being strap
ped, he kept up a barking noise, as if he
had an epilertic fit. A peculiar feature OF
the execution was that the trap was held
in place by hair from the head of the
murdered wife. He was pronounced dead
eleven minutes after the drop.

RECENT RULINGS.
Instructions Given by the Commissioner
to Registers and Receivers.

In conflicting pre-emption claims a for
NAL contest is unnecessary is the instruc-
ton given by the Commissioner of the
General Land Office TO Registers and Re-
ceivers. "When either party offers to
make proof, the other, who should always
be especially cited, may appear at the time
and place fixed, and proceedings should
therenpon be had in the same manner as
in contested cases. Notice to make proof
is an invitation to all the world to contest
the right of the party to make proof, and
full testimony should then be taken on
both sides, witnesses cross-examined, and
the record made up for action and decision
in the case. Final proof notices are not
required to be published in seven weekly
issues of newspaper. Six such notices
have been required by department rulings.
No greater number is necessary"

The Price of Beef Steers Ruling High at
Chicago.

Diste,nper in cattle in this Rocky Noun
tain region seems to have passed away.
The demand for beef is good, and the
prices have been improving daily until an
almost fabulous point has been reached
"$7.1o," says our latest telegraph dispatch

never been great, even in the coldest

LITTLE ROCKIES.
What a Correspondent SAYS of the New
Digginss.

The following extracts from = letter in
the Hns6andman give Il summary of the
condition of the Little Rocky placer
mines: The gulches are narrow, rough
and with scarcity OF: water. Little Alder,
the discovery gulch, has about 1, inches.
The discovery claim paid for few days,
but is not doing so now. Above it are
IL claims before bare bedrock is reached.
Spots have been struck On some of these
where there was good pay, but it did not
last long. The shaft reported to have been
rocked out by Keyes 20 years ago is moth
ing but spring washout. The shallow
ground will be about washed out this fall
The deeper ground cannot be worked, be-
cause there is no water. Other gulches
are showing fair prospects, but are the
same as Little Alder-narrow, rocky and
with even less water. The writer advises
his friends not to get excited.

THE CLAYTON-BAKER BOYS
Believed to Have Agreed to End Thei,
Lives Together.

The Philadelphia Press of Oct. 18TH
says of the Clayton-Baker shooting: The
theory of the police is that the boys,
naturally of morbid disposition, had re-
solved to end their lives together. There
is no doubt that Clayton did the shooting,
though the absence of powder marks upon
his face is a singular fact not easily ex-
plained. Baker never breathed after the
first shot struck him. If he had first shot
Clayton it would have been impossible for
him to have fired the second shot into his
brain. He had evidently made no resist
ance, as his position was easy and natural.
Clayton fingered nearly an hour, and then
died, without having regained conscious
ness or uttered word in explanation. The
friends Of both boys agree that, while they
were not essentially bad, their tastes were
depraved. They were fond Of fashy liter
a.ure and sensational border dramas. They
never quarreled, and their devotion to each
other was the talk Of the beyish clan in
which they moved. "The last novels |
saw him reading" said Clayton's mother,
Is were pair Of cheap yellow books about
"A Murderer and - Thief and Sport. y
Neither Of the boys drank.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The Supreme Court of Ohio Declares the
Scott Law Void.

At Columbus, Ohio, on Oct. 2Sth, tie
majority of the Supreme Court held that
the lien clause of the Scott law is a license
law. and therefore the whole Act is void.
No opinion is expressed as to whether the
law is void as tax or license law.
The decision, stripped of its verbiage,
declares the entire law unconstitutional,
and will not only do away with the collec-
ton of the tax this year, only small por-
ton of which has been paid, but will make
it necessary for all corporations to pay back
the amount which was collected under the
law last year, togethe. with interest. It
will bankrupt nearly all the cities in the
on the supposition that the law was con-
stitutional and would bring into the treasu-
ries of counties and cities stipulated
amount of money. In Columbus, for in
stance, between $4,000 and $4,000 were
realized from the tax last year, and none
Of the amount has been paid this year.
The consequence is the departments are
behind in the payment Of salaries two or
three months. Other cities of the State
are similarly situated. The great question
with municipal and county authorities is
how will they secure immediate relief from
the embarrassing situation, the Legislature
not being in session to grant authority.

Recent official correspondence relating
to Egyptian affairs has been made public
at London. A letter Of instruction from
the Government to General Wolseley
stated that the object of the expedition was
to bring Gordon and Stewart from Khar

than should prove necessary to secure this
end would be permitted. Neither the
English nor the Egyptian Government
was prepared to assume the responsibility
of the government of the Nile Valley be-
yond Wady Halfa, though they would he
glad to see an independent government
established at Khartoum, which would
keep peace with Egypt, encourage COM
merce and prevent the slave trade. When
it was known that General Gordon had
sent Stewart to burn Berber, the Govern
ment directed Kitchener to send a counter
order to Colonel Stewart.
