CANADIAN DIPLOMACY.
SEIZE THE YUKON REGION ON
PLEA OF PRESERVING ORDER.
But They Exercise the Functions of
Possession and Government BY
Collecting Revenue, and in Other
Ways.

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 1.-The reason
Canada has built quarters, mounted
police and occupied posts on the Alas
kan frontier on disputed gold territory
claimed by the United States, became
known through the department of the
interior and the customs, and inter
views with several of the officials of
the government. 1t is claimed that if
any trouble occurs over the territory
the United States would be held NOR
ally responsible owing to the lax man
ner in which past governments have
dealt with the mail service on the
United States side in the region af-
fected and to the repeated neglect to
take notice of earnest applications by
United States traders themselves for
protection against laWless elements
and contraband trading. The case as
presented here is that when the first
reports of the vast wealth of the Yu-
kon gold region was made public.
with characteristic push and energy
trading companies were formed in
New York, Chicago, Boston, San Fran
cisco and other centerS, to carry on
trading in the region. These compa-
MES appealed to the United States
government for protection and neces-
Sary business facllltleS.
Promises Were Made
by successive governments, but not
carried out and as a last resort the
traders appealed to Canada. for protec-
ton. Their letters are on file here.
They give as their reasons for asking
Canadian intervention, that the United
States authorities would not take ac-
ton for the reason that the territory
was within Canadian jurisdiction. FL
nally a representative was sent here
to interview the Canadian government
This was c. H. Hamilton. resident
manager of Fort Cudahy, the Forty
Mile post, of the North American
Transportation company, of Chicago.
AS a result of Mr.. HamiltOn'S mission
a squad of Northwestern mounted police
was eventually picked out and dis
patched to the gold region under In
spector Constantine, with orders to
maintain law and order. Inspector
Constantine was further empowered
to act as collector of customs, with
Staff Sergeant Brown as assistant for

This is a commanding position in the

Credit to Barnes.

BY common consent District Attorney
Barnes is given most of the credit for
convicting the greatest murderer that
was ever tried in California. While the
police Department did excellent work, it
is believed that Mr.. Barnes address
which consumed two days and half in
it's delivery had much to do with remov-
ing any lingering doubts from the mind
Of the jurors, if at any time there was
a Juror who was not convinced of Dur
rants guilt. Barnes address is consid-
cred one of the most logical and eloquent
efforts that was ever made before d
California jury. He is given greater
credit for the verdict from the fact that
the re-, evidence was entirely circums 4;
preme court and it is expected that
nearly a year will elapse before a decis-
ion will be obtained. While it is not
thought that any error has been COM
mitted the defense has embraced every
opportunity to take exceptions to the
rulings of the court. General Dickinson
took exception to three features of the
district attorneys argument today. He
also took an exception to the judges

Man of Leisure's Hygienic Rules.

Never eat anything before breakfast.
To avoid the overpowering temptation
to do this always leave your breakfast
before you have chance to eat anything.
Never work between breakfast and
dinner
To avoid the overpowering temptation
to do this have your breakfast and dinner
so near together that you will not have
time to yield to temptation.
Conscientiously economic every moment
of time for digestion. Never let the
precious moments run to waste.
In order to gain this time never work
between dinner and supper.
Never be satisfied with what you have
accomplished. Press ever onward in never
ending activity.
In order that this rule may be strictly
observed, as soon as you have digested
your dinner eat your supper that not a
moment may be lost and the work of diges-
ton may go on without interruption.
Hundreds of years of precious time have
been lost by careless men inadvertently per-
hitting their digestive organs to run out of
work.
Never work after supper.
In order to avoid the overpowering
temptation to do this, never get through
supper until it is too late to work
Supper, nevertheless, should not be al
lowed to continue until it is time for break
fast. If it does, however, breakfast should
be postponed until the supper is over.
If there ever happens TO be an interval
between meals, do not be embarrassed by
the awkward pause. A properly trained
man will keep right on eating through the
interval.-New York World.

prove that they, too, have qualities
which can enable them to bear off the
palm of victory over the sterner sex,
who now boast of the exclusive right
to proficiency in the game" continues
the author. MORAY Brown tells us
in footnote that the game was played
by ladies in Ireland in 1890. Cap
tain Younghusband gives a very humorous
account of the game as played in India by
English ladies. He rather cynicaily re-
marks that the two men, one on each side,
who were appointed to guard the interests
and look after the safety of the ladies, had
hard time of it. Married ladies were
playing against unmarried ones. After
two or three minutes play lady cried out
that she could not see the ball through her
veil. Instantly there was a halt, the veil
was removed and the game went on. A
few minutes after another damsel shouted
out that she could not play with her gloves
on. Again the game was stopped and the
gloves were removed. A third intrusted
her handkerchief to her male partner,
who, having no pockets in his tight trou-
sers, found it difficult to care for

interesting to learn that it is one of the
Oldest games on earth, perhaps the oldest
outdoor game that has'survived and that
it is played now almost exactly as it was
played in Persia several hundred years be-

The Maharajah of Patiala is even now
threatening to go to England and give the
folks there who have been claiming polo
as their own peculiar accomplishment
some points about the great game. This
proposition has set the literati of polo to

AS we write we are clad in suit of paper

ice. 1t is thoroughly light, easy under the
arms and over the chest. The trousers, it
is true, are knickerbockers, and lead to the
impression that the Japanese soldier invari-

right; but this, we believe, is the result of
art rather than nature. 1t is said that this
