WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-There is no
truth in the statement recently published
to the effect that Secretary to the President
John Addison Porter will be a candidate
for the United State Senate at next years
election in Connecticut. Secretary Porter
declines to be interviewed on the subject
but is emphatic in the assertion that under
no circumstances will the use of his name
be allowed in this connection. He is on
friendly terms with all of the leading can
didates said to be already in the field for
senator. Secretary Porter was a strong
candidate for the nomination for Governor
in last years political campaign in Con-
necticut. Many of his former adherents
have urged him to enter the race again,
but this he will not consent to do if it
should involve a contest.

tory, there should be settlement of the long-vexed Alaska boundary ques- ton. The Line crosses the Yukon in the heart of the gold region. Here there is no dispute. The one hundred and forty first parallel of latitude is the line, needing only surveying and marking. But from Mount St. Elias southward John Bull wants to measure the "ten marine leagues" inland, which the line is mot to exceed, from the outer edge of the islands instead of from the shore of the mainland itself This makes very considerable distance in region likely soon to be very useful for agri- culture, for fish canning and hydraulic mining and stamp milling.

ROAD TO THE KLONDIKE
How the Geld Hunters Win Make
 Their Way to the Golconda.
Sailing over Sens of snow--A Land Where Horses Are Unknown and Dogs Are Worth as
 Much as $500.
fCopyright. 1Ss7.1

The late F. J. Glave, who first used pack horses in Alaska so recently as 1891, would be considerably astonished If he could see the development his bright idea has led up to in seven years. Every vessel which has gone to Juneau with supplies for the great Klondyke mining region has carried pack horses for use in the famous Chilkat pass. Probably there are now not less than 200 or 300 pack animals on the pass, where in 1890 the appearance of these unknown equine 'big dogs" filed the native breast with apprehension. Ofh- CT feelings than apprehension now fill the breast of the noble red man at sight of the horses. In the old days sup plies went on Indians backs in sum mer. About s5 or 90 pounds made q load, and the carrier himself ate three or four pounds of food per day. Ob- yiously under such conditions, time was up in about 30 days at the most. Or, if the Chillxat were passed and the Indians were sent back, the stock of food was considerably diminished and the cost of the remainder almost pro hibitive, for the Indians demanded two dollars a day and upward for their serv- ices.
 During the present season horses have been used to pack dry groceries over the pass, while sheep and oxen have been driven over, to be slaugh- tered on the other side after the point of embarkation down the Yukon was reached. The difference between an Indian, who eats the food he carries, and the sheep, which lives on the grass of the short Arctic summer while sure-footedly sealing the rocks and aft erward becomes meatitself, is consider able-in favor of the sheep.

1t nrom the water, sso thicllly as literally to conceal their Erey from view. So suddenly and fercely do they come that have known horse that had waded out into the water only up to his knees to be fatally injured by an attack from carlbes. Seized at once by every leg and by the nostrils, the fish clinging to him in swarms, he got to the shore only to fall helpless on the bank, hamstrung in both forelegs Painful stories ars told of human beings attacked and de- voured alive by caribes.
 Monster alligators are found in all the fresh waters of Venezuela. It is a favorlte trick of the alligator to lie in wait at the drinking places of cattle watching for a chance to seize an OK or horse by the nose and drag him into deep water, where it can drown him This done, it swims with it's prey to some secluded place and there tears it to pieces and feasts on it at leisure. I have known alligators IS feet in length to be killed in the Orinoco, and. have seen others in the water that I knew were still longer.
 Tt is common practice to shoot at these reptiles from the decks of steam CTS plying up and down the Orinoco, and It is seldom that some of them are not seen lying within rifle range. The eye is the point aimed at by expert marksmen. An alligator shot in the eye dies instantly and will float; if hit in any other part, whether killed or wounded, it sinks
 Some of the branches of the Ori- noco, though very deep, are narrow, so that the tops of the trees meet over head, producing the effect upon the yoyager of passing through tunnel. From these oyerhanging branches the great water boas hang, head downward, waiting to seize any prey that may pass on the current beneath them. A party of us were coming down one of these streams in couriel (dugout), :, padded by Indians, and, from time to time, an Englishman of the party, named Yeo, fired his rife at some snake. The rest of us had cautioned him never to fire at any snake until after we had passed it; but with true English self-sufficiency, he acknowl- edged our advice by firing at a large

 On a running stream new ice is treaeherous, and an involuntary bath in the October or November waters Of the upper Yukon is not thing to be greatly desired. But men who are used to it travel all winter long in the neigh borhood of the Arctic circle. Circle City and other points above enjoy mail once month. The runners who take out and bring in letters are men inured to exposure and thoroughly acquainted with the road.
 ''Sledging in" is pleasanter process in the spring than at any other time. Then, with the thermometer neververy many degrees below zero. the heavy snow has filled up the rough places on
 the rocky pass and has become suffi- ciently hard to bear the sledges we'll. Fresh-falls of snow are rather less like ly than in the autumn, the days are longer and the wind generally blows from the south. At such a time the voyageur can often extemporize sail out of "three-point blanket" slung to crotched stake, pile his qnarreling,

 Dogs are worth from $500 to $500 in
 the neighborhood of Dawson, the new city. The supply of dogs that will stand the climate is limited and the price mounted sharply upon news of the big
 gold strike. Many dog bought at such
 prices will be killed and eaten this com Ing winter on the Klondyke. As by that time the poor dog will be reduced to
 skin and bone and will not weigh much,
 his meat may represent $15 to $25 a pound. But Klondyl1e will be lucky if
 meat doesn't run even higher before spring brings in a new supply. The new places are indubitably OF British soil; but as the road thither, | whether by the Yukon or by Chillat l pass, leads through. United States terri-

 canoe was beneath it. He hit the snakes body. but did not break it's back, and instantly uncoiling from the limb, the boa dropped plump into the boat. As nobody cared to share the canoe with writhing, 2o-foot boa, every man went out of the craft as suddenly as the snake had dropped in. The boa glided into the water as soon as he could pull himself together, and made for the shore. Those of us who were on the same side of the canoe with the snake made haste to swim round to the other side, and we all got safe aboard before the alligators found out what was going on. Yeo, who had swum to dry tree root and perched himself upon it, was the last man to be taken in. We didn't hurry a bit about going for him, but gave him a full half-hour there to reflect upon the wisdom of sometimes taking ad- vice.
 'In our camp on the Guanuco river, on the coast of Venezuela, a little Irish man named McCarty had thrilling ex- perience. He was a devil-may-care reckless fellow; and, rising one morn ing before the rest of us were awake, he thought he would take Q swim. Running to the edge of the high bank, he dived, without first looking about him, far out into the water. As he came to the surface in the middle of the narrow river, and shook the water from his eyes, the first sight that met his gaze was two jaguars on the op- posite bank, looking at him and snuff ing inquisitively He turned, only to see on the other side-and altogether too near-an alligator regarding him with marked attention; while under the bank from which he had leaped, lying with it's tail in the water, was coiled big boa, that he must have passed directly over in, diving The situation was too much for McCarty, and he yelled for help. At his outcry all of us in camp jumped to our feet, grabbed shotguns and rifles, and ran to the bank. There we saw McCarty threading water in the river, with all his unwelcome company about gazing at him with growing interest. They clearly had been taken aback by the suddenness with which he had ap- peared among them, but as their sur prise wore off they seemed disposed toward closer acquaintance.
 "We shot one of the jaguars and the boa; the other jaguar ran away. Then we peppered the ailigators with bullets and shot so hotly as to keep them away from McCarty while he swan to the shore. It was fine sight to sec him clawing his way up the steep bank, slipping back in the wet clay almost as fast as he climbed, until he got near enough for us to give him hand. He had lucky escape and practical il- lustration of the wisdom of the saying
 Look before you leap.''

rae Most Durable wood.

A London paper claims that teak is the most durable wood known for structural and mechanical purposes. It is hard, yet light, easily worked, and, though porous, strong and lasting. It is soon seasoned, shrinks little, and be- cause of it's oily nature does not in jure iron. In southeastern Asia 1t is much used for ship building. The wood is frequently girdled a year before it is felled, and thus exposed to sun and wind it seasons more rapidly than when cut green
