Mr.. Cameron in his talk with . re-
porter told of the dogs that are used
for sledging during the winter in the
Northwest territories of Canada.
Six or eight dogs are used ON each
sledge. They are fed only once in
twenty-four hours, and that is in the
morning before the start is made, and
after the dogs are in harness. At
that time about four pounds of frozen
fish are given to them. Everything
must be in readiness for the. start,
and the men must look to if that they
are at hand to jump on the sledges,
for at the very instant that the last
morseI of fish disappears the dogs are
off at break-neck speed. Strange as
it may seem, the drivers donot dare TO
feed the dogs unless they are in har-
ness. Otherwise they would scatter,
and nothing more would be seen OF
them. They are driven with one long
rein attached to the leader.
A whip with very short handle and
a very long lash is used to urge them
on, though in most cases they need NO
urging, for they seem to feel that the
faster they go the quicker they will
come to the post where food and
warmth and lazy life await them.
They travel. often as far rs ninety
miles day.

CH|NAMEN SAID NO.
Captain Of the Kow shing No,
Allowed to Heed the Japs.
Riotous Attack on Japanese Envoy
aud Consul at Shanghai.
Ships and Supplies Taken from Eng
land Under the Spanish Flag.
(By Associated Press.)

SHANGHAI, Aug. 6.-Letters received
here from Col. Won Hannekin, former
aide-de-camp to the Chinese Viceroy, Ii
Hung Chang, confirms the reports of the
INSTRUMENTATION Of the Chinese troops
aboard the transport Kow shing. 1t is
belived here that the affidavits made by
Capt. Galsworthy and Chief Officer Tenn
plin, OF the Kow Shing, were signed un-
der compulsion. Capt. Galsworthy and
his companions were taken from Che
mulpo to Sasebo, on July 20, and We're
released on Aug. 4.
Col. Won Hannekin has forwarded the
following statement at the request of
the Indo-China Company:
THE Japanese cruiser Nanfwa, during
the morning of July %, ordered the Kow
Shing to anchor. She obeyed. and some
Japanese officers boarded her and ex-
amined the ships papers. They were
quite satisfied that she was a British
steamer. but they ordered the Kow Shing
to follow the Naniwa to Japan. Capt.
Galsworthy Of the Kow Shing, declined
ON the ground that the Chinese troops
on board the transport would not permit
him to do so.
1hS Sapldih tHcl dSheu IOT peTuib-
sion to return direct to Taku, from
which port he had cleared In time OF
peace. The Japanese did not reply, and
hoisted a signal notifying US to leave
the steamer Immediately. Capt. Gals
worthy also declined to do this, as the
Chinese troops would not permit him.
Then the Naniwa, without any
further warning, discharged a torpedo
at us and opened fire upon us with heI
guns. The Kow Shing sank about thirt,
minutes after the torpedo exploded al
her side.
while swimming saw a Japanese
boat lowered, heavily armed, which fired
into the kow Shing. The Chinese fired
their rifles at the Naniwa, at the swim
ming men and also at their own country
men on board. with the view that all
should perish together"
While the Japanese Minister and suit
and the Japanese Consul wer leaving
Tien Tsin, on Aug. 3, they were attacked
by a crowd of Chinese soldiers, who
seized their baggage and threatened
them with personal violence. The Vice.
roy, Lu Hung Chang, quickly sent a
force of troops to the scene and sup
pressed the riot.
Denmark has demanded the release of
Herr Muhlenstedt, a passenger on the
despatch boat Tsao-Kiang, which was
captured by the Japanese on July Is.

DID The MEN ESCAPE?
Rumor that Twenty Prisoners Got
Free from Blaokvell's Island.
Said to Have Swan Across Ia
Asst. ria.
Charities Commissioners Say They
Have No Confirmation OF II.

1t was reported this morning that a
wholesale escape OF prisoners from
Blackwells Island had been made
shortly before o'clock, the prisoners
swimming safely to the Long Island
shore. and landing at the little cove
Just south Of the Astoria ferry slip.
The story Is to the effect hat between
fifteen and twenty prisoners confined In
the workhouse left heir quarters at $50
this morning in charge Of six keepers.
They were assigned to work on the
Homeopathic Hospital and the Insane
Asylum.
Taking up the march In line. they
proceeded along the eastern shore of
the island, the guards falling in be-
hind. as usual. The escape must have
been well planned, for each man In the
gang seems to have been watching his
opportunity.
When almost opposite Astoria, near
the northern end of the island, one OF
the men discovered that the attention
OF the guards was withdrawn for an
instant.
Immediately, 1t is said. a signal was
given. and the whole gang rushed stimuli
taneously to the sea wall and plunged
overheard before the astonished keepers
knew what the movement meant.
The time was as well chosen as wai
the place where the dash for liberty was
made. 1t was impossible for the guards
to summon aid at once. the nearest build
ing being many yards distant.
The keepers. it is said. did not succeed
in collecting their senses until the pris-
oners were well on their way to the Long
Island shore.
No ptarol rowboats are on either side
OF the river before o'clock in the morn
ing and the escaping gang had no fear
OF recapture through this means.
BY the time the alarm had been given
and a boat launched, all the swimmers
are said to have gained the shore and
disappeared

rection Commissioners, Eleventh stree
and Third avenue. the story was dis
credited. the official In charge explain
ing that. II an escape had occurred. he
would know OF II Immediately. No such
