Wires to Northern Alaska.

Two prominent Western Union
Telegraph company officials and. two
prominent officials of the Northern
Pacific telegraph department have
been travelling about the northwest of
late. The object of the visit, of course,
given as general inspection" but
there is said to be another and far
more important object. 1t is nothing
more or less than that the officials are
arranging 10 take possession of the
old abandoned telegraph line now ex-
tending through British Columbia
and Alaska, started thirty years ago to
run to Europe via Boring straits and
Siberia.
Thirty years ago, before the Allan
tic cable was laid, this line was con-
structed as part of a great world cir
cling line, which was to pass through
Alaska cross the narrow Bering straits,
span the wilderness of Siberia and
connect Europe with America. The
success of the cable spoiled this plan,
and the line into the Cariboo country
was abandoned many years ago. Now
it is proposed to repair the old line
and extend it north to Forty Mile
creek on the Yukon and run branch
lines to Sitka and juneau, thus put
ting Alaska in touch with the great
world from which it is now isolated.
Nothing now remains of the several
hundreds of miles of line stretched in
British Columbia and laska, but the
rotted stumps of poles. The Indians
long since took the wires and used
them for making salmon nets.

BOLD DODGE OF DUTIES.
Scheme of a Galveston Com
pany to Import Free
Asphalt.
Senator German Supplied With
Campaign Funds to Carry
Out the Scheme.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 27.-The
Collector of the port at Galveston has
forced the Barber Asphalt Company to go
before the General Appraisers at New York
and show cause why they are not COM
PEELED to pay 20 per cent tariff on asphalt
imported for street-paving use. This is
the rate of the law prior to the passage Of
the German bill.
The leading attorney for the Barber
Company arranged with Senator Cor
man for free asphalt, this being well known
at the time the Senator was making deals
with various interests, the consideration
being in the Barber case that the company
put up funds to the Senator when he
should claim to need them in politics. The
attorney worded the clause in the bill COW
ering the matter, and it is claimed that
the company, according TO the arrange
ment, has put up money to German in his
Maryland fight, now OH.
1t happens, however, that the company
has secured contracts since the passage of
the bill on the basis OF free asphalt, and
on the contracts thus secured the tariff
would be over $500, 900. The accusation is
made that some of the administration
Democrats in Maryland fighting German
have set up the scheme for the Galveston
Collector to insist that the old tariff pre-
walls, by way of Gripping German in his
money supplies and munitions of war.

LOWEST EBB YET NOTED.
Nearly Eight Millions Below
the Amount Required by
the Treasury.
HELP EXPECTED FROM BANKS
Meanwhile There Is a Steady With
drawal of the Yellow Money
for Trade Purposes.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 27.-The
treasury gold reserve has been reduced
to $92, 705 067, at which figures it stood
when the treasury closed its doors to-day.
These figures were reached to-day by a
withdrawal at New York for export OF ST.
100000. Since the present gold movement
began on July IS last, there has been
withdrawn from the United States Treas
ury $50, 450, 900, all of which, with the ex-
ception of less than 100000. has been
sent to Europe. The total gold exported
exceeds these figures, as some gold, es-
pecially the gold bullion exported, was fur
nished by the banks of New York.
During the same period gold was fur
nished by the syndicate and by the New
York national banks to the amount of $15,-
S25, 600.
The figures to which the treasury gold
reserve have now been reduced by inces-
SAINT exports are.lower than since April 80
last, on which date they we're stated at
S91, 247, IA. Under the syndicate agree
ment gold was then being paid into the
treasury, and from that date the reserve
increased up to June 49, when it attained
its maximum height this year, standing at
S107 ,512, 1862.
From that time the gold reserve has
gradually declined until to-day's figures
were reached.
The treasury officials decline to discuss the
prospects of further gold shipments as the
situation is very much mixed. The present
movement appears to consist chiefly Of
legitimate exports with not much more
than tinge of speculative motives ap-
parent. No uneasiness and no anticipa-
tons of any emergency arising sufficient
TO make necessary another bond issue are
entertained in well-informed treasury cir
cles. While no official information can be
obtained on the subject, the belief is en-
tertained that the national banks of New
York may come further TO the relief of the
treasury next week and strengthen the
gold reserve by 100000 or so.
Government officials are persuaded to
believe that within month the number of
commercial bills that will be on the market
as a result of the export Of American
cereals and cotton will turn the tide of ex-
change and stop gold exports for some
time to come. The situation, however, is
so kaleidoscope that no one here whose
opinion is worth quoting will express an
opinion for publication.

fight, and that as one of the principals was
knocked out it was doubly SO in this case.
The main question on which the decision
held was the reading of the statutes in re-
gard to prize-hghting. The statutes under
which the defendants were indicted gives
nothing as prlze-fght unless fought with
bare knuckles, but that licensed set-tos
were perfectly legal. This being the case
the jury had it within their province to
decide as to how far the law would be con-
strued
The claim of the defense was that the
contest was boxing exhibition for scien-
tific points and that every proper precau-
ton was taken against injury being done
to either of the antagonists. The jury was
out four hours, and at the end of that time
gave tas their decision that the fight was
perfectly lawful and in keeping with the
statutes. This decision is one of the most
remarkable ever given in an Eastern court
and definitely settles the right of prize
fighting to continue in Massachusetts, and
the result will be that in the future it will
be the arena of all the boxing carnivals in
the East

GOVERNOR stones BOOM,
Friends of the Mississippi
Stateman Name Him for
ViCe-PreSident.
However, He Says That His Ambi-
ton Is to Become a United
States Senator.

OMAHA, NEBR., Sept. Ex-Governor ].
M. Stone of Mississippi, who, with his
party, is being entertained by the CONNER
cial Club to-day, brings to the city Vice
Presidency boom. He himself declares he
is not responsible for this. When asked if
he was a candidate or was about to an
nOunce himself as a candidate he said:
~ have not thought of such thing and
have no suspicion that anything will in
duce me to become a candidate. l am
avowedly a candidate for the United States
senatorship from my State. That is the
only office l would like to have. Even were
l qualified for the office of Vice-President
1 would not seek it, because l would not
want it under any circumstances"
But the Governors friends are deter
mined to make him candidate whether
he will have it that way or not. Speaking
for them Murray F. Smith of Vicksburg,
general attorney for the Yazoo and Missis-
sippi Valley Railway and a member of
the party now here, says:
'You may say that Governor Stone is
our candidate for the Vice-Presidency,
and that we will present his name to the
next Democratic National Convention"
Regarding the sentiments of the South
regarding the silver question Governor
Stone acknowledged that Mississippi was in
favor of silver, but said he believed the
sentiment of the South was against silver,
and added that he believed there was
change going on in his own State in favor
of sound money. And he said, "I don't
believe that if the Southern States were
tested there would be more than two or
three in favor of silver at this time"

PARIS, FRANCE, Sept. 27.-Premier Ribot
addressed the Budget Committee to-day
on the subject of the proposal of NJ.
Cavaignac relative to the establishment of
a colonial army. He said that propo-
sitions for the formation of such an army
could not be included in the provisions of
the present budget. The Government was
considering the matter, and would make
statement at the next session.

said that the supreme council of war con-
Cured in his opinion On the subject.
Premier Ribot declared that if the budget
committee approved NJ. Cavaignac's pro-
posals it might be advisable to ask the
Chamber of Deputies to revoke the COM
mittees decision. After the Ministers had
departed the committee decided to reduce
the forces of zouayes and Algerine trail
leurs by 5000 men each. NJ. Cavaignac
intends to propose that the marine infantry
and navy colonial troops be merged into
a colonial army, which shall be increased
by 10000 other troops and utilized in
Madagascar and the Soudan.
