Getting Into Shape For Trouble Over Re-
| taIIntiOn,
OTTAWA, 0NT., Sept. 25.-The mem
bers Of the Dominion Cabinet have been
summoned to the capital in consequence
of dispatch received from the Imperial
authorities, through Lord Stanley, Gov
eruOr General, asking for information
regarding the volunteer militia force and
the defences OF Canada.
All the members OF the Government
are now in the city with the exception
OF Hon. j. A. Chapleau, Secretary Of
State, who is expected to arrive this
week.
The British Government, it appears,
realizing that Canada is in seIni-de-
fenceless condition should any trouble
arise with the United States over retalia-
ton, have asked for IN extensive report
OF the armed resistance the country could
oller should there be any trouble. The
Cabinet Council will meet in the course
of week or so, when report which
has been prepared on the subject by Sir
John Thompson, Minister OF Justice,
will be submitted.
The Federal Government, since the
retaliation question has become u live
issue have wakcned up to sense OF
their defenseless condition. Sir John
Mcdonald, the Premier, has asked the
people of the counties bordering on the
Rideau canal, which connects the 0tta-
wa river with the great lakes OF Kings
ton, to petition the Government to
deepen the canal, which was built by
the British Government after the war Of
1872, but has since become go shallow
that Il gun boat could not pass through
it, The object of this move is to open
up an inland water communication from
Montreal to the great lakes, in conse-
quence OF the liability OF the st. Law
renee river route and the Grand Trunk
Railway being closed by American
forces Immediately on the outbreak OF
trouble.
The Adjutant General OF the Canadian
forces, Colonel Powell, is receiving re.
ports from all parts OF the country con.
cerning the condition OF the volunteer
forces, and it Is understood that at the
next session OF Parliament the Govern
ment will increase the vote for militia
purposes so us to admit OF additions to
the present volunteer forces.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Sept. 25.-To-day
opens cold, damp and very unE leasant
The first news is the death OF Mr.. ]. L
Burch, of the Board OF Public Works
This leaves Hon. j. G. Greely the only
surviving member of that body here
News reached this city late yesterday
that R. S. Lukenbill, purchasing agent
of the R. F. & n. Railroad, at Fernan.
diana, and one of the leading citizens,
had died OF genuine case OF yellow
fever. Diligent telegraphing to numer-
GUS people in that city failed to elicit
any response. 1t was learned on very
good authority, however, that Mr. Lu-
kenbill was dead, but that the attending
physician had pronounced his death us
caused by congestion"
At about six o'clock message came
from Fernandana praying that two
nurses be sent there ut once in char G
OF DR.. George Troupe Maxwell, fOr at
tendance upon Superintendent D. Il.
Maxpell OF the +. r. & n. Railroad. This
is sure indication OF yellow fever in
Fernandiana for that city has heretofore
maintained such strict quarantine
against Jacksonville that note car
load of ice would be received there from
Jacksonville. Later telegrams from
Baldwin, addressed to "Dr. Neal Mitchell,
or DR.. Maxwell" read us follows: "Lo-
comotive will be at Jacksonville at $3.50
o'clock D. III. TO take DIR. Maxwell and
nurses to Fernandiana to attend Capt.
Maxwell" The conductor called at the
Board OF Health headquarters for nurses
and being obliged to make close connec-
tion with the special train, then waiting
ut Baldwin, he took the nurses along
with him, DR.. Maxwell being left be-
hind. 1t will now be difficult for Fer
nandiana to convince the country that
theft cityis free from yellow fever.
Not little excitement was caused on
the street this morning by rumor that
Captain Jack Keeie, the genial and pop |
ular captain OF the Sanitary Police, had
died at the Sand Hills during the night
previous. Numerous inquiries were
made ut Dir. Mitchell's office, hut as Or.
Mitchell had not come in from the hos
pital the rumOr could neither be con-
frmed or denied.
Just before noon the doctor came in
and was the bearer OF good news. Cap
tain Jack was improving rapidly and is
as lively us cricket. The report had
no foundation. Before many days Jack's
stately form will be seen on the streets
again, and it will be welcome sight.
Fireman Charlie 0dell, who was dis
charged from the Sand Hills last Satur-
day has had n relapse. DR.. j. B. Bur-
ronghs has been seriously i'll, but has
recovered and resumed his work.
The situation here tonight is practi.
cally unchanged, except that the
hopeful feeling that the worse of the
epidemic is over continues.
The official bulletin for the twenty
four hours ending at 6 p. In. reports l43
new cases. OF which S. are among the
colored people. Only four deaths are
a special from McClenny reports eight
new cases OF yellow fever and one death
that of Jonathan Law.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept. 25.-George
X. Jingle, late OF Wheeling, now Gov
ernment agent Of fur seal islands, st,
Paul and st. George Alaskan waters, Is
here. He has testified before the House
Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries, which is trying to find out
about the alleged frauds against the
government by the Alaska Commercial
and Fur Seal Company taking larger
number OF skins than its contract allows.
A greater number than 100000 is pro-
hibited, but Governor Swinford and
others from Alaska, who are not in SYM
pathy with the neutrality-suspicious.
kan fur monopoly, say this number is
greatly exceeded. Colonel Tingle testi-
fed strongly in favor OF the company.
He told the committee, in effect, that it
is all square, and the government is
being fairly treated.
The cOmpany's contract expires soon
and its friends are troubled over the
prospect that II will not be renewed. 1t
is commonly believed that good many
nests are being feathered out OF this
Alaska fur seal business, as it is highly
profitable, even il legitimately con-
Quoted, while lift were not for the hon
esty Of two government special agents,
double or triple the number of skins
specified in the contract might be re-
moved, the surplus number not being
subject to contract tax, and therefore
enormously increasing the profits OF
the business. This iswhat the commit
tee is driving ut, but it has not made
much headway owing TO the remote
ness Of the seal operations and tho alb
sencc OF checks to insure the proper ex-
ecution OF the contract.
