Significance of the Presence OF Red
Coats on the Yukon.

Significance of the Presence of Red
Coats on the Yukon.
In the light of recent Developments IN
the Alaskan boundary question. the pres
ence OF Capt. Constantine with a detach-
ment OF Canadian mounted police at
Forty-Mile creek on the Yukon river is
considered significant. II viii be remem-
bered that Capt. Constantine was here
during the summer with a number OF pick
ed redcoats from the posts in the North
west territory. His men were magnificent
physical specimens and were well equipped
by nature 10 endure the rlgor or an Arcuc
winter.
AS indicated in dispatches TO the Post
Inteiligencer, John Bull is planting MS
hoofs not only on the strip of territory
lying along the coast 10 the south OF Jun
eau, but also along the Hist parallel, run
ming north from Mount st. Elias. An OF
tawa special Ito the New York tribune
says:
'sThe reports received here that great
excitement prevails in Alaska on the ques-
ton of the new gold regions claimed to be-
in Canada have caused some surprise In
the department of state. since the territory
in dispute has not been occupied by En-
gland or Canada, and the boundary COM
mission has yet 10 pass on H. Ihere Is
however, this justification for .Ae excite
ment among the gold mining interests on
In the department here show the boundary
line striking north from Mount Elias
to pass through or close to Forty-Mile
creek If this is correct, the country east
of that place must he in Canada. Tnls Is
the new gold region about which there is
much excitement. But the exact location
OF the line has yet to be proved.
'Officials al the department of the IN
terror today, when asked as to the lnten-
tons OF the government with regard 10 the
final location of the line, and so setting at
rest this question of the ownership or the
new gold regions, said il would be some
time before the British boundary commits
sion would be able to get so far 1t has
been two years at work, and at the meet
ing on December 81 ii is expected that the
boundary will be defined only so far as
the British side of the case is concerned
from Benin channel northward, up the
coast to Mount Elias. 1t is from the latter
point that the 141st meridian boundary line
starts.
The supposed Canadian claim locating
the Hist meridian as passing through For
ty-Mile creek has no other foundation than
these maps, which have been traced from
SURVEYS four years old, and these surveys
must all be gone over again in detail be
fore any claim can rest on them III Is SAID
that the maps are not considered authen-
tic. II is open to belief that part or the
new gold region may yet be IN onlted
States territory, but 1t is thought here tnat
the best part of the country will be SHOWN
to be on the Canadian side.

STRONG MEN WePT
When the Good News OF La Gascogne' S
Safety Was Announced.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE news that
La Gascogne had been sighted, was received
amid the greatest excitement at the OIL
ces of the French Line in Bowling Green.
The cabin Office was crowded with anx-
ious inquirers who have relatives and
friends on board that steamship They
had been standing around with pale faces,
expecting at any moment to hear the worst.
When the word came that the ship was
safe, for while stiffness reigned which
was almost painful in its intensity
Agent Forget for n moment was
rendered speeches., which evidenced how
anxious he had been for the safety of La
Gascogne. Then he regained himself and
became wildly hilarious. He shouted,
ran here and there, grasping the hand of
this one and that one, and fairly jumped
I'D and down over the floor in the excite
ment of the moment.
Then he put on his coat and started for
the French Line pier at the foot of Nor
ton street, where tug had been in rcadi-
ness for days to take him to meet La
Gascogne should she be sighted. Several
of the anxious ones waiting for news
started from the office to board the tug
with Mr.. Forget.
Many eyes could be seen in the French
Line office when the good news WAS
learned. Even gtrong men wept. The
strain of days of worry had been too much
for them.
One man. Mr.. Richie, broke down COM
pletely and sobbed as If his heart would
break Mr. Richie has three daughters on
board La Gascogne, two of them Of very
tender years. He had abandoned al hope
when The joyful tidings came.

A JUMP FOR LIFE.
Wreck of the Schooner George
A. McFadden of.Bath.
Captain and Crew Leap Into the Icy
Water from Vessels Stern
knd are Picked Up by Boat from the Steamer
Francisco.

New York, Feb 11-Steamer Francisco,
which arrived, today. from Hull had ON
board nine sbipwrccked seamen. .Yestc'-
day in lat i0l8 N, lon. SO. 10 W, ~
schooner was sighted showing signals OF
distress. The sea was making clean
brtaeh over the vessel, washing her fore
and aft The steam pumps were work
ing but apparently failed to free the yes
sci as she became more waterlogged every
moment
After standing by for some time,
good position was secured to windward
of the wreck and the starboard lifeboat
was launched, in charge of the chief ON
Ger, with seven sailors as crew.
The mon tugged bravely at the oars and
attempted to run alongside the wreck.
but the terrific force of the sea breaking
over the doomed vessel obliged them to
keep aloof. The weather was intensely
cold and the wind was blowing gale,
with high seas.
The captain and crew of the schooner
jumped from the stern of the vessel and
were quickly hauled into the boat All
hands We're rescued, but nothing, not
even the effects of the crew, was saved.
On arriving on board the steamship the
unfortunates and the crew of the lifeboat
were made comfortable.
The vessel proved to be the four masted
schooner George A. McFadden of Bath.
Me-, 1917 tons burthen, commanded by
Captain C. +. Wallace, on voyage, with
a cargo of coal from Norfolk, which port
she left, last Monday, for Boston.
Captain Wallace, when seen at Quaran-
tine said that he took the gale, which
blew with hurrici n force, from the west
by south of Shinnecock light, on the night
of the It'll The gale lasted until yestcr-
day and while it prevailed the cabin
windows we're smashed, and the matches
burst, the vessel rapidly taking water.
The pumps We're put to work, but after
laborious work of hours, it was seen that
they failed to gain ON the water The
sails were blown from their gaskets, the
foretopmast and iibboop, We're carried
away, and the vessel became waterlogged
and Interchangeable.
The intense cold caused the water to leo
up everything about the deck and the sea
made continuous breaches over the bBl-
warks, washing everything movable away
and made the decks unteuable.
On the 10th, at IL IS p. NJ, the steamer
Francisco hove in sight and athe rescue
followed The schooner was abandoned,
but was leaking badly aud Captain Wall
lace believes she did not stay on the sur
face long after the crew left her.
The George a. McFadden was built at
Bath. Me in 1SSS and was owned by
| ". II. Donald ofthat place.
