THE eMPERoR's DILEMMA.
An Event in China shows that Ma Ju-
Lung Had Enemies as Wei as Friends.


All amusing and curious transaction
in China, in which the Emperor took
part, is recorded in three recent issues
of the Pekin Gazette. A short time
ago Ma Ju-Lung, at one time Com
mander-in-Chie in Yunnan, died at
his native place. Many citizens in the
province drew up an elaborate memo
rial to the Emperor, setting out the
great deeds hat public b~enefactor had
performed, and praying that suitable
honors be bestowed upon his memory.
The memoralists said that it was he
who put down the great Mohammedan
rebellion in Yunnan about twenty
years ago. first and last" the paper
said she was instrumental in killing
over 1000 of the enemy and in his
own person practically decided the
fate of Yunnan."
La reply to this memorial the EN-
peror issued a decree ordering that the
highest honors that could be paid to
one of the deceased commanders rank
be given to him, INCLUDING the eroc-
ton of a temple in the capital of Yum

ordered to compile q, reeerd of his

IN THE wILDS OF ALASKA.
Terrible Trip of an Exploring and Gold
Hunting Party.

Hunting Party.
William Goldfeld, of Portland,
Ore, tells of a terrible trip he took
with ten companions through Alaska.
The party went with the intention OF
exploring the Yuker river from It's
head-waters to the mouth, for the
purpose of obtaining gold, which
they had heard was in great
quantities Oh the banks of the river.
They took an overland trip to the
head of the river, and there cached
their provisions and began their
prospecting. They had sufficient pro-
visions to last them over a year, but
while they were out on their trip
soIneonewho was jealous of their COM
ing into the country burned the entire
lot. On their return to the place
they found that they were entirely
out of food and had to depend upon
what they could get. They built a
raft and started down the river,
intending to float down and hunt for
game along the shore to keep them
alive. The trip vas a most remark
able one. They found that the whole
country swarmed with game. Moose
and caribou could be seer in droves
along the riverand they had no trouble
in getting plenty of meat. At every
stopping place they discovered much
gold and could easily wash out $50
worth a day at any point where a
stream entered the river. Reaching
the lower part of the river, after a
trip of six months, they found that
the stream widened out to fifteen
miles wide and was swift. A storm
wrecked their raft and they lost
everything except their money and
some gold dust. They were thrown
on an island, where they staid for
two weeks, living on mussels and
fish, until they prevailed upon some
Indians to take them to the main
land. Three of the party afterwards
died from the effects of the exposure.

AVORANNEXATI0N
The Question of Continental
Union a Decidedly Live
One in Ontario.
The Benefits That Wolld Accrue
from 1t for Canada Well
Presented.

A great continental union meeting
was held at Orangeyille, Ont, last
week, a large audience being present.
Both sides of the question were well
represented. The principal speakers
were William Algie, of Alton, and
Elgin Myers. ex-county crown attor-
ney, who was deposed by the Ontario
government for his annexation views.
Mr.. Algie told the vast audience that
it was not by threats o. force of arms
that they were trying TO secure a con-
tinentlal union, but by the ballot,
and he was sur the time was not far
distant when the people Of this coun.
try would have that privilege. Eng,
land and Scotland were united by
mutual consent and were happy and
prosperous, but Ireland was com,
PEELED to join the empire, hence the
present trouble; and, moreover, Eng.
lish and Scotch people were not as
closely allied to one another as we are
to the United States; also, that the
natural channal for trade is north
and south. \ 4,O00-mile front stud,
ded with custom officers, costing
$4,000 900 per annum to collect 81, 200,
900, would certainly have to 60.
Mr.. Myers spoke for nearly an hour.
His first point was a comparison OF
English immigration. The United
States gets 81 per cent and we only
get 10 per cent. And where English
people go, there their capital will &C
also. The United States today is
paying 100000 per day on English
capital. Why not get some of that
American capital here? The speaker
Ecompared the American border cities
with the Canadian cities opposite
them, and declared that the present
difference in favor of the American
cities would disappear under a CONT,
mental union. Our towns and cities
and farmers, in fact, everything
would reap some of the good results
from such a step.
Nh. Myers concluded by informing
the audience, which had listened
at~tentively, that no human power
could put down the men who had
undertaken this great work for the
welfare of the country.
Mr.. Myers was much >applauded by
all the ladies and gentlemen, showing
that he had many supporters.

a. Goggan at the Lindell. Il once
rcomed with a friend at Toronto,
Canada, who was a working ieweler,
and had by hard work and close
economy saved $1,000 and put it in
the bank. He was inclined to be
misery and certainly was not a man
to be easily influenced in money
matters. In the same house a
middle-aged man who claimed to be a
music teacher had rooms. He
frequently visited us in the evening
and played on the violin. Ny friend
disliked him very much and seemed
to be afraid of him, yet, when in his
presence, was entirely subservient to
his will. One day my friend and the
professor walked down to the bank
together. The former drew out his
$4,000 and turned itover to the latter,
receiving in return only a bank slip
of paper. The professor disappeared,
but a year latter my friend met him
in Montreal and had him arrested for
swindling. But he never prosecuted
him. He again fell under the
influence of the villain, withdrew the
charge and paid the costs. While at
Toronto the professor visited the
theater and handed a blank piece OF
paper to the young man in the box
Office and received change for a $50
bill. l see by the papers that a man
protesting to be a faith cure doctor
recently got into trouble at
Cincinnati by inducing a l6-year-old
Kentucky girl TO leave home with
him. The girl declared that she
disliked and feared the man, but he
exercised a power over her she was
unable to resist. The brother and
aunt of the girl followed him swear,
ing vengeance, but a few moments
conversation with him rendered them
as docile as lambs. 1t is possible
that the Canadian music teacher and
the Kentucky faith cure doctor are
one and the same person."

Weighing to a Hair.

praise accorded the wonderfully deli

through the long spout, the tester

slant, Immediately shooting those that
are not found wanting into the ex-
pectant and open-mouthed sack at the
end of a lower spout. If too light, they
are tossed out through another spout,
and if too heavy, through a third one.
Not long ago an astonishingly large
number of coins were tossed into the
"too-heavy" spout. Surprised at this
unusual rejection of so great a load of
the silver pieces, investigation was in
stituted; when, 10! it was found that a
single tiny hair caught in the scales
had made overweight for every coin
