Canadians Fortifying Points OF STRAIT

the Canadian government is establishing
wcil-equipped Qualifications on comma nd
ing biuris overlooking the strategic points
on Fort y-milc Creek a nd elsewhere a long the
supposed International boundary liue.
a large company of Canadian military
police Is busiiy engaged in exploring The
country for mountain passes, both in
Alaska and in Canadian territory. The
loop OF Forty Mile Creek runs into British
territory, and 10 reach the most vaiua Bile
mines IL is necessary for American miners
10 pass through a small portion OF foreign
territory.
The river is very narrow, and the police
have erected ON overtowering cliffs Impen-
etrable fortresses, which completely guard
travel on the river. At several other points
g. breast works of substantially built stone
have been erected.
On the whole, the actions of the police
would indicate that preparations are being
made 10 accommodate large squads OF
militia at various points along The bound
ary, and particularly in the vicinity of
the placer mines.
However, the police are very kind toward
American miners, rendering them every
assistance possible, and in many other
ways they bestOw small favors and en-
deavor to allay suspicion or unpleasant
inquiries as 10 the objects of such war
like preparations. In the entire area Of

tachments attired in citizens clothes have
visited all important mining camps, recon-
noitcring the surrounding country. What
their object was they would not state.
On the British side are stationed customs

of municipal government is maintained:
The miners bring the news that the
country last spring was flooded with
fully a thousand Inexperienced men. who
rushed into tho mines and were bitterly
disappointed, and now they prophesy
that before the approaching winter is

There is not enough food In the mines to last

ions ran short and hundreds of miners

SIXTEEN MULES BURNED.
The Dorrnnce Pit AT wiIkesbarre tn,
Scene Of n Disaster.


Scene Of Disaster.
wiikesbarre, Pa, Nov. 4.-Another acci.
dent has occurred ut the Dorrancc mine,
of the Leiligh Valley Company, where
seven engineers We're recently Killed.
This time sixteen mules were burned to
death. A little before midnight Saturday
night n miner was loading some hay into
the mule stable in the mine, when his
naked lamp fell into mass of loose hay
at his feet. So quickly did the fire
spread that before the miner could reach
down for the lamp the hay was a mass
of flames.
For 4 moment or two he tried to separate
the burning hay from the mass piled up
in the stable, but while he stamped out
the fire In one part IL started in another. He
was at last obliged TO run and save himself
and give the alarm.
As quickly as possible n line of hose was
carried down the shaft and a ttached to one
of the big pumps, but before this could be
done the flames had reached and embodied
the whole line of stables. Seventeen mules
We're fastened in stalls in the stable,
and every effort to reach them after the
alarm was given failed, as the path way
was blocked with flames.
one of the would-be rescucrs was carried
out unconscious, overcome with smoke.
The fire was fought under great diff
culties, the men being una BILE To renal In In
the gang way more than minute or two
on account of the smoke.
The shrieks ard cries of the imprisoned
mules were horrible to hear, and there was
also the danger of them breaking out of
the stable and in their terror running down
the fire-fighters. Three did get out of the
stable and dashed down the gangway, but
the men managed to avoid them.
Two of these had to be shot, they were so
badly burped; the other was not injured.
The remaining fourteen were burned to
death. 1t was six hours after the fire
started before it was put out. The mine
was badly damaged.

RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY.
Washington Markets Case Again Be
fore the Com missiOners.

Washington Markets Case Again Be-
fore the Com mmissiOners.
Gen. Birney, In behalf of the Washington
Market Company, raised an interesting ques.
ton before the Board Of Commissioners to-
day involving the rights of the company on
B street. The question came up for consid
Grafton on an order issued Saturday to
the chief of police concerning the occu.
pancy of the street by dealers and others,
and hinges upon the right uf the market
company to control the space.
Gen. Birney claimed that under the
charter, which was enacted twenty-on
years ago, the market Company has q
vested right, unimpeachable and beyond
question, To occupy the street to It's center,
or what was once the edge OF the old
canal, and he protested against the order,
which, in effect, is one 10 dispossess the
company, without due process, OF property
held without question since the market
was established.
The order was issued, the Commissioners
say, as q consistent extension of the gem
eral order against street obstruction. The
burden of proof of title Is upon the market
company, they say, and unless the conf
pany can show clear right to the ground
the board would exercise the right or keep
ing it clear of distractions.
1t has been communicated to the Com
missioners that the company is renting
privileges on that space, and it could not
be done SO long as the Districts control is
not legally set aside.
The order issued TO the board was served
on the company by Lieut.. Amiss, and is to
the effect that market wagons and stands
of produce dealers are prohibited on any
portion of the sidewalk or roadway on
the west side of B street north between
Seventh and Ninth streets, except for such
time as the occupancy mayb be nccessaryby
ordinary use.
The question will be settled, doubtless
in the courts.

SOME BOND lURIOSITKS
Where the Glvernnsnt Has Little
or No Protection.
DIsCovERIEsINTHEM METHODS
Treasury Department Officials Have
been Making an Investigation.
Army Officers Give No Surety
Though Handling Millions-Other
Eccem rcities OF Custom.

Interesting discoveries in the method or
bonding public officers have been made by
Treasury Department officials.
One hundred and six thousand officers are
under bond To the government, the amount
involved being more than $1G3,000, eco.
Most of these officers, 104 900 in num-
Der, are postmastcrs. There are 81 5 under
the Treasury Department, being such Off,
cials US collectors of customs and surveyors.
There are eel officers under the War De-
partment,' including paymasters, quarter
masters and surgeons; 29S In the Navy
Department; 500 under the Interior De-
partmcnt, and 500 under the other depart
ments.
THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS. =.
One of the curiositics is that no Army en-
gineer officer is under bond.
The eight Army surgeons give bonds
amounting to $I6O,0OO. while the en-
gineer Officers, who handle millions of dol
lars for river and harbor work, do not
give the government any security other
than their oath as Army officers.
The Army Officers who are stationed at
military schools and who are responsible
for secondhand guns and n small guam
tity of ammunition, give bonds amount-
ing TO more than 81 100000.
The disbursing clerk in the Navy DEPART
inent through whose hands pass the vast
sums paid out for armor, warshtps and
gun Observation-Disclosures bond of but 81 900.
The fifty-onc Army quartermastcrs who
handle funds give bonds amounting TO
nearly million and half, while the
engineer Officers i'll the same service who
ha ndlc SUMS greatly in excess OF that
disbursed by the quarternasiers are un-
hauipered by any such requirement.
Fortunately there have been few failures
among engineer officers properly To ac-
count for public funds placed in their
scustody.
SOME CURIOSITIES.
Officers are bonded without regard for
the responsibility or risk incurred. Thus,
the Assistant Treasurer In New York Is
bonded for half a million, while the Treas
urcr In Washington is bonded for $50, 900.
II the amounts involved in their respect
i've offices were considered, the amounts
of the bonds should be reversed. Neither
OF these officials could get away with any
money Of the government. They would
have as much trouble In actual dcfalcatiun
as Secretary Carlisle himself.
IL has been suggested that n regular
scale of bonds for subo rdinate employees
be adopted, so as TO relieve leading off
cials of financial responsibility for the dis
honesty OF employees.
The postmaster at New York gives bond
of half a million, while Il subordinate en-
ploye may commit an offense beyond the
postnasters powers 10 prevent, for which
the latter's bondsnIen must be uniustly
held accountable.
TheGepartmenti is infavoro of disseminating
the personal bonds and substituting there
for the bonds OF trust companies organized
to do this character OF business. This
substitution, 1T is estimated, would result
in an annual saving 10 the government OF
about $4,000.

II is claimed by Dr. Flowers friends that
he can diagnose any disease or any person
without asking the patient question,
and that he is the only living physician
who can scicntifically do so without max
ing mistake.
The Boston Globe says: "In the treat
DIeDt OF cancer, consumption, tumor, heart,
oDd nerve troubles, DR.. r. G. Flower has
no equal in the world" The Boston
Traveller says There Is no experiment
fn DR.. X. G. Flowers practice. Able as
he is to tell any one his disease, without
asking question, he is not likely TO doctor
his patients for the wrong disease" The
New York Tribune says. Or R. C.
Flower, of Boston, is the highest authority
on chronic disease and enjoys the largest
practice OF any living physician"
Our readers will see that this visit of
DR.. r. c. Flower to Washington will
