An audacious smuggling conspiracy
has been discovered through the recent
seizures of contraband tobacco at For
tune Bay, st. Johns, New Brunswick.
The tobacco was brought from the
United States packed in special boxes,
two of which We're intended to be con-
cealed in lobster cases and exported to
England, where the duties ON tobacco
are very heavy. Immense quantities
of canned Holsters are exported from
Newfoundland to England yearly,
which has enabled this practice to be
pursued with slight risk Of detection.

MINERS WILL co TO alaska
Party Organized in Chicago To EX-
DIOre the Yukon.

Chicago, March 20--A party of in
trepid gold hunters is being organized
for the purpose of exploring the flch
fields of the Yukon basin in Alaska
and which are claimed to be among the
richest in the world. The party 50 far
comprises men from this city, MilWau-
kee. Pittsburg, and points in Michigan
and Ohio, who have already seen ser
vice in the California and Colorado
fields. The start is to be made late in
May, when the first line of steamers
between Seattle, Wash, and Circle
City, Alaska, the nearest point to the
gold fields is to be put into operation.
The line is to be composed OF one
steamer only and will make in II days
the trip that now requires from 40 to
60 days and the endurance of great eX-
posture. Some idea of the hazard IN
volved in the exploration is afforded IN
the fact that the gold fields are only
accessible by way of the Chilcoot pass,
q narrow pathway in the otherwise inn
passable mountains, and at places SO
precipitous that the ordinary man can
not carry a pack, and, even unburden-
ed, makes the ascent with difficulty.
The latest reports from the diggings
where quite a number of men are seek
ing after wealth, say that whisky is 81
glass, butter $3.50 per pound, gum
boots SIS per pair, potatoes and onions
81 per pound, flour $40 per sack of 5U
pounds, tea 81 per pound, blankets SIG
per pair, and other things in proportion.
Winter lasts from October to May,
with an average thermometer of 40 be-
low zero while the SHOWS vary from
two to four feet. All these prospective
hardships, however, have not seemed
to initiate against the organization of
the party, and which it is expected will
start out 100 strong.

PAPERS FROM CARACAS ARE RE
CEIVED AT WASHINGTON,
xVhila M Decision Has Been Reach
ed, Reports to the Contrary
Are Current.

WASHINGTON. March 21.-The latest
mail from La Guayra contains the long
expected addition to the case of Venez-
uela as it will be laid before the Venez-
uela boundary commission. The work
was undertaken at Caracas by volun-
teer commission, whose services were
accepted by the Venezuela government,
and which collected all the material &C
ceSSible in Venezuela bearing upon the
boundary dispute. The matter so far
collected was dispatched promptly by
the home government to it's minister
here, Senior Andrade, and while the doc
uments themselves are in New York
the advance mail has brought to Wash
ington a complete list of the papers
comprised in the installment. There are
80 copies of the original manuscript
records, but these, after all, are of sec
ondary Importance in comparison with
the large number of maps and charts
that have been gathered to sustain the
Venezuela case. In this first lot of
matter there are no less than so such
maps. and in addition there are refer
ences to almost twice as many addition
al charts that may be readily obtained.
This store of material will be turned
over to the Venezuela commission as
soon as it can be put in order
Washington, March 21.-Milet Pro
vost, secretary of the Venezuela com
mission, today authorized the following
statement:
During the past week a report has
become current that the commission
has reached decision with reference
to the boundary question favorable 10
Venezuela. This having been denied,
the report has been circulated in anOth-
er form, and it is now asserted that
while the commission as body has
reached no such conclusion the com
missioners individually entertain views
referred to.
ct must be evident to all that 50 long
as anything remains to be examined
and considered the commissioners are
not in a position to form an opinion re-
specting the merits Of the controversy.
AS a matter of fact, neither the com
mission nor the individual commission
ers are as yet in possession Of al the
evidence. The papers presented by
Venezuela are but a part of what has
been promised. The blue book of the
British government, while remarkably
full and detailed, does not include all
the documents which may be adducel
in support Of its contentious. The COM
mission has not and will not limit Itself
to the consideration Of what those two
governments may present. 1t has been
engaged upon Independent lines of in
quiry and will continue to follow those
lines until all Of it's sources Of Informal
tiOn have hppn exhausted Then and
not until then, will it be in a position to
form any opinion or to make any re-
port"
