Hudson's Bays Resources.

A Canadian surveyor who was en-
gagged in an official expedition in Hud-
sons bay in 1885 and 1886 says few peo-
pie have any idea Of the resources Of
this great sea. Its shores are the
haunts of the musk OK, the moose, the
reindeer, the red deer, the white bear
and his black brother, the otter, the
beaver, the mink, the black fox, also
the silver, gray and white varieties.
and other valuable fur bearing animals.
Its waters are teeming with the most
valuable varieties Of water animals and
fish. lie has seer the bay as far as the
eye could reach appear one undulating
mass of white PURPOSES. Both the
hides and oil of these are very valuable.
In some parts of the bay and in the
straits the shores Of the islands are
swarming with walrus. 1t has been re-
ported by Professor Bell that on one
island on the east coast there was found
to be thickly strewn with the ivory
tusks of the warlus. The tusks are
valuable, though the chief value of the
warlus lies in the hide, which weighs
on the average 800 pounds, and is worth
from 10 to 20 cents per pound.

Liable 10 Create a Collision.

CHICAGO, Feb. THE national board
of control Of the Epworth league met
this morning at the First Methodist
church, and the gathering is regarded
very much as a small crisis among the
members of the Methodist denomina-
ton. which has been very much per-
picked over the large number of
denominations that have sprung
up among the young people. A
year or two ago an effort was made to
amalgamate them all under the title of
the Epworth league, but it was only
partially successful. The strongest
kick came from the Young Peoples
alliance, which originated several years
ago at the Des PLANES campmeeting
and has since spread all Over the coun-
try. 1t is founded on the idea, and
pursuit Of absolute Christian perfection,
and refuses to ally itself with the
Epworth league, the Christian En-
deavor, or any young peoples society
whatever. 1t is not improbable there
fore that today's conference will bring
on a collision, if not an incurable dis
sension, which will affect the contingent
organizations of the Methodist denom-
ination throughout the country.

near tho pulpit, and as he did SO that
individual jumped to his feet to inquire
IL the parson meant to be personal in his
remarks. No soon was Coleman on his

Can't Re President.

There are four members of the United
States senate who can never be candi-
dates for the presidency of this republic
under the constitution because of an
alien birth. Senator Jones, Of Nevada,
was born in Herefordshire, England;
General Mcmillan, of Michigan, in
Hamilton, Ontario; Senator Beck, OF
Kentucky, in Dumfrieshire, Scotland,
and Senator Pasco, of Florida, in Lon
don, England. While il is the excep-
ton rather than otherwise that a SEN
ator was born in the state he represents,
sectional lines have been closely OBJ
served. OF the northern senators only
two were born in the south-Cullom, of
Illinois, and Senator Hawley, of Con-
necticut, in North Carolina. Not one
southern senator is of northern origin.
