Two Sub-Treasury Plans.

There is sub-treasury plan, pro-
posed by the alliance and adopted by
the peoples party, and another plan
now in operation at Washington. The
alliance plan provides for the issuance
of legal tender treasury notes to pro-
ducers on their non-perishable prod
ucts at eighty per cent. of their value.
The receiver to pay the expense of the
storage of his products and two per
cent interest on the money received.
The other plan provides for the issu-
ance of treasury notes to silver bullion
owners to the amount of its full mar
ket value without interest, and without
any charge for storage. Which, think
you, shows greater statesmanship?
The one is the product of ''inanciers"
and the other of farmers. - Iowa

alaska.

The report of tho Governor Of Alas
ka presents some interesting facts
and recommendations about that vast
and as yet undeveloped territory.
With an area of 5S0,WIO square miles,
nearly one-sixth of the whole terri
tory of the United States, it embraces
numerous lofty mountain chains and
valleys, extensive plains and dense
forests. The forests abound in tim
Der, Of which the value is yet un-
known. Besides the main land there
are 100 islands, varying in size from
a few acres to hundreds of square
miles in area. Among these islands,
and extending far into tie mainland,
are n1merous deep-sea channels and
immense rivers, which serve as the
highways of travel and commerce,
and without which communication
with a large part of the territory
would be almost impossible. In any
estimate of the future development
aid progress of the territory, the
climate must be taken into considera-
ton. The snow capped mountains
and glaciers, the extensive sea coast,
the warm ocean currents and the
broad plains of the northland cor
&ribute to the wide diversity of the
climate which exists. The interior
exhibits extremes of heat and cold,
with long Winters and short Sum
mers, and has a dry atmosphere
through all seasons. Along the coast
lines however, and among the group
of islands, a wide range of climate is
found, from the mild and equable
conditions impaired to portions of the
coast by the Japanese current, to the
severe Arctic blasts of the higher
ATTITUDES beyond the Youkon river,
where in Winter the mercury ranges
from so to 20 degrees below zero.
The population is about $4,000, the
census enumeration being necessarily
inaccurate by reason of the desertion
of the villages for the hunting and
fishing grounds during the Summer
time.
The white population is nearly one
half foreign born. The native Indians
are more settled, reliable and intelli-
gent than the Indians of the plains.
They live in fixed abodes and are in.
dependent and self sustaining. They
have made great strides toward
American civilization, and progress
may be facilitated by the continued
liberal aid of the Government IN the
matter Of education and in the pro-
lection Of their legal rights.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Over Twenty People Killed and
Injured.

QUEBEC, Feb. 12--TSpeciall 9:15
this morning the boiler in the Quebec
Worsted Company's factory at Hare
Point exploded, completely demolish-
ing the engine-house and about half of
the factory. A large number of hands
are buried in the ruins. Styles, the
engineer, is only name of those killed
thus far known. The work of removing
tho bodies from the debris is now
actively going on.
The works of the Quebec Worsted
Company, whore this mornings fatal
explosion occurred, are situated at Hare
POINT, IN northeastern outskirts of the
city. they cover large area and
employ more hands than any other
manufacturing establishment in the
city. They had been closed down for
two weeks, while tho boilers and ma
chlnery were being overhauled and re-
fitted.
operations were to have been resumed
this morning and 800 of the operatives
were on hand. Owing to some cause
the machinery was not started and they
were dismissed. Many of them, how
ever, remained about the building, a
number keeping in the vicinity CT the
engine room for sake of the warmth
About 9:45 there was a sudden explosion
which completely wrecked the engine
house and damaged largo part of the
main building.
The cause OF the accident is not at
present known, but it is thought some
OF the pipes may have been frozen while
the fires were out, and so caused stop
page when the steam was gotten up.
Harvey Foreman, of Carrier, Lane IL
Co., of Lewis, who were carrying out re-
pairs to the machinery and boilers, says
that he was in the engine room when
the explosion took place. lie instinc-
lively threw himself under the shelter
OF a large wheel, and so escaped being
crushed by falling bricks and rafters
lie was rescued half an hour later, and
has only slight injuries. He cannot ac-
count for the accident.
The work of reScuing the unfortunates
buried under the ruins is still going on.
The Marine Hospital, which is situated
in tho same locality as the mill, has
been opened to receive tho dead and
wounded, and is besieged by people
searching for missing relatives. Tho
body of Engineer Grancoeur, of the
works, was found crushed out Of all
shape. About twenty dead bodies have
been taken out o. the ruins so far, but
owing to the confusion, tho total num-
Der OF casualties is not yet ascertained.

Mason is evidently much worried over
the alleged Chicago whiskey conspiracy,

lie left instructions with his private
secretary. however, to tell ali ncwspa-
per men who might call that he had
nothing to say about the alleged con-
spiracy, except that the press dispatch
from Chicago in the morning papers was
substantially true according to tho in
formation received by him. His pri-
vate secretary added that the case had
been managed entirely by the commits
sioncr, and that Solicitor Hart had gone
to Chicago as his legal representative.
CHICAGO, Feb. i2.-ISpeciall Charles
d. Gibson, secretary of the whisley
trust, who was arrested here yesterday,
left for Cleveland last night. In an in
terview before leaving he said regard
ing tho charges against him:

by my attorneys to say nothing, but L

Gibson's son was interviewed also and
said that his father had done TO inten-
tional wrong. The flask that was
found in his valise, he continued, con-
tanned nothing but Schiedam schnapps,
and there was no dynamite nor nitro
glyccrine in it. Father is the central
victim of the conspiracy, said he, that

"A Chattanooga, Tenn, special says
tho Tennessee river at that point has
passed the danger line, thirty three
feet, and is still rising steadily and will

WASHINGTON, Feb. l2.-[Spccial +
The Indian chiefs in this city called at
tho White House in body at o'clock
this afternoon and paid their respect to
the President. They were accompanied
by the Commissioners of Indian Affairs
and several interpreters.
The reception took place in the east
room at the close of the regular weekly
reception to the public. They ranged
themselves in a circle and listened at
tentivcly to a short address by the
Presidents in the course of which he
pointed out the folly of their going to
war with the whites and made it very
plain that if they made any more trou-
bic they would be punished.
The Indians were then individually
presented to the President by Rev. Mr..

Each shook hands with the President
and bowed when presented, but made no

GEN. SHERMAN STILL SINKING.
His Life Despaired of by the
Physicians.
Friends of the Family Called to tho Bed-
side at Late Hour Last Night and
the End Expect al Any Time--scenes In
the Death Chamber.

New YORK, Feb. 12.-[Speciall- The
light and fitting shadows in the death
chamber of the old warrior who is
slowly passing away were carefully
watched during the night by score of
newspaper men, and every bulletin
issued by Doctors Alexander and Cane
way, was quickly wired all over tho
continent. During the night Rev.
Father Taylor, of tho Church of the
Holy Sacrament, was called to the bed
side of the dying General, and no re-
NAMED there until about o'clock.
at 1:30 messenger rushed out of tho
house to telegraph office with a mes
sage to Senator Sherman calling him
instantly to the bedside of his brother
He arrived in o carriage at $50, and
considerable movement was then
noticed in the Generals bedroom. After
short while, however, the light was
turned down, and tho announcement
made that though no change had taken
place in tho Generals condition, he
was, however, sinking rapidly.
Two policemen were on duty outside,
and everything was kept as quiet as
possible in the neighborhood. The
electric bell was removed from tho door,
so that its jingling would not disturb
the rest of the sick man, and instruc-
tons given not to admit any one except
relatives and personal friends.
The next bulletin was given out at q
quarter to 5. 1t said that death was
only question of few hours and it
was signed by DIR. Alexander. Simulta-
| neously with this came n dispatch from
L. Techumseh Sherman, the Generals
son, and it was addressed to President
Harrison, informing him that death was
momentarily expected. From then on
the house remained in comparative
darkness, and at 7 o'clock not soul had

| When the early morning wagons came

hand from the officer on duty caused
them to slack their pace and they crept
by in silence, avoiding that noise of
wheels on pavcments so disagreeablo to
sick persons.
During the night messages OF SYM
pathy were received from the President,
member or the Cabinet, and many OF
the Generals old friends in the army.
Reports from General Sherman's sick
room have several times this afternoon
been OF an encouraging nature, but at
$3.50 p. m bulletin was issued by the
physicians stating that General Shcr-
man was growing weaker and that his
condition was most critical. The family
have sent kilograms to immediate
friends summoning them to the bed
side. Within the last twenty minutes
several persons have arrived in cabs
driven at high speed. 1t is thought by
all that the end is near.

THE SALEM DUMMY LINE.
Its Present Condition and Prospects In
the Immediate Future.

Its Present Condition and Prospects In
the Immediate Future.
Tho Salem dummy still stops at Col
lego avenue at Salem instead of on
Main street, where the terminus will be
in the course of time. Tho reason is
that the corporation has not as vet been
able to secure adequate terminal facili-
ties, but hope to in the near future.
The bad weather and fearful condi-
ton of the streets have prevented the
completion and other essentials of
Contractor IIouston's undertaking.
some hvc or six switches are yet to be
put in at the termini and midway.
While the road is in the hands of the
contractor traffic arrangement is in
operation whereby the corpora ton and
the contractor divide expenses and re-
ceipts. 1t has been unfortunate for the
company that the contract could not be
completed. Since about tho 18th of
last Novem Der they have had some SIS
600 worth of material lying idle in the
city awaiting favorable time for be-
ginning operations on the electric lines.
This has entailed heavy expense with
no return.
The public should not consider the
present terminus of the dummy line at
Commerce street permanent one. 1t
is the intention of the company to, in
the near future, come into the city and
avoid the sharp curves and steep grade
OF the Park street route by coming
down the little valley back of the ridge
north of the railroad and eventually
landing at Holiday street near the new
Union depot, and in close communica-
ton with the entire electric street car
system Of the city.
One of the obstructions-in fact, about
the only one-to reaching Holiday street
is small tract of land owned by an
enterprising .colored gentleman of Afri-
can pedigree who demands $4,000 for
$1,000 worth of Roanoke realty. The
intervention of the court and commits
sion will be invoked to determine the
extent of his quid pro quo.
