were soon at the scene of my late ac-

close by it was the mangled body Of
one Of the junglemen. No trace OF
his companions or of the tiger could
be found.
The tree was soon out OF the road,
and We steamed rapidly ahead 10 the

An Old Soldier, ON His Death Bed,
Gives His Money to . Kind Stranger.
New YORK, May A man giving the
name of Colonel Tuttle and who is said to
be commissary of the soldiers home at
Santa Monica, Cal, died at the hospital
here few days ago. unattended and un-
cared for, except by stranger This
stranger was Seabrook Waddell, one of the
clerks at the hotel here where the old man
stopped. He was taken i'll with the grippe
while there, and WaddeiI had him re-
moved to the hospital, where he had every
thing possible done for the sick man.
futile told the clerk he intended to make
him his heir, and that his prop
erty amounted to $4,000. The clerk
protested against this, and said the money
should go to the mans relatives. After
the old mans death, few days later, he
found he had disposed of his property as
he had proposed. Waddell telegraphed
TO Santa Monica, Cal, TO the colonel's
relatives, and received reply to the effect
that. they would not be responsible for his
funeral expenses. WaddeIl thereupon
determined that if it was not proper he
should retain the strangers money he
would at least see to it that the relatives
in the West got none of il either With
this plan IN view he bought q lot in the
Southern cemetery and gave orders for a
handsome monument to be erected
thereon. After providing for a splendid
funeral, he notified the relatives that the
dead man had been properly inferred.

party of three men left for Kanloops yes
terday 10 explore and survey the interior
for the provincial government. At Kam-
loops the party will be joined by Poudrier.

there for some time gathering packs and
other supplies for the party. An exper-
fenced packer will be engaged. and the

waters of Peace river, where they will
connect with an expedition which
left Victoria a month ago TO enter
the Nechaco country by way of
Gardner's inlet Mr.. Poudrier's explora-
tons there last year for the government
showed that the country, both in genial
climate and good land, was admirably
adapted for settlement After the junction
of the parties it is intended that one shall
proceed westward into the Peace river
country, and the other west and north,
where, if the reports of Indians are at all
correct, there is also large tract of fine
land with remarkably mild climate.
The country is also full of gold
One of the problems that this years
operations viii probably solve will be the
SssSAS-s 1iio oCSt WY Va Sctt1iS SOitt-
munication with that country, for be the
land ever so good it is useless unless there
are means of getting to it. 1t was the in
tention of Mr.. Poudrier to make thor
ough examination into the best way of
reaching the interior from the coast. and
from his experience last year he seemed
sanguine of finding an easy route. When
the parties reach the place Of junction it is
expected that by branching off they will
be able to discover the easiest way of get
ting in from the west, and whether a rail-
way would be feasible, and by what route.
1t will possibly be found that it would be
more practicable to run a line through
from the Northwest territory.
People have no idea of the area of the
province fit for cultivation, but the sys-
TENS of surveys now being pursued by the
government will be productive of much
useful information in this respect. To
illustrate how far north the climate is
mild, it may be mentioned that Lake
Francois, 81 degrees north, hardly ever
freezes over, and when it does the ice is
thin.

there is no ground on which the British

cries. pending arbitration. There will be no
arbitration, however, on the misleading
grounds sought to be laid down by Lord
Salisbury. The question of arbitration is
out of sight at present, and the only thing
in view is to prevent harm coming this
season. The North American Company is
still fighting for the exercise of its danger
Gus privilege just one season more. They
are even willing that the number of ami
mails to be slaughtered should be fixed by
Secretary Foster at 5000. The permits
sion to kill 5000 this season would mean
license for unlimited slaughter. 1t is
well known that if the North American
Company gets chance to start in it will
be almost impossible to limit the destruc-
ton. The North American Company and
all its rival bidders for the lease made
their bids with the full knowledge that
whoever got the lease would take it subject
to condition of the seal fisheries, which
might make necessary stoppage of sealing.
