RELIEF ron THE KLoNDIKE.
Passage of Troops Through Cana
dian Territory TO Be Permitted.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Mr Sifton, the
Canadian minister of the interior, called
at the war department by appointment to-
Gay and had long conference with AS
sistant Secretary Meikeljohn, who Is Civ
ing his attention to the Klondike relief
expeditions, during the illness of Secretary
Alger. Having secured the consent of the
British government to the passage of
United States troops, to be used as guards,
over Canadian territory, what remains to
be done is to arrange for the admission
of the supplies to be taken TO the miners
without payment of duties provided they
are not sold for more than their actual
cost.
Mr.. Sifton says the only practical route
to Dawson City is what is known as the
White pass, or commonly called the lake
route, commencing at Skaguay, on the
Linn canal. He states that they have
eighty-tive men in the territory, and ex-
pect TO have fifty more at Skaguay or or
before Jan. 5.
r have twenty tons of supplies stored
at Skaguay for transportation over the
pass, to which will be added 10000 tons
more within the next ten days for trans
portation over the pass
The Canadian authorities have posts at
Lake Bennett and Tagisch, at which lat
ter place twenty men are stationed.
1t is the intention of the Canadian gov
eminent to have a detachment Of go men
in the territory within the next thirty
days. Their detachment will be ready to
leave Skaguay on the 18th proXimo, but the
minister has kindly consented to hold the
expedition that they may accompany the
expedition OF the war department, which
will leave on or before Feb. /.
The collection of duties on all supplies
sent under military control will be waived
by the Canadian government. The minis
ter was over the pass in October of last

DECEMBER,s BIG WHEAT DEAL.
Letter PIuckily Takes in All the

Chicago. Dec. 31.-The closing scenes of
the Letter deal in December wheat will
have been enacted by 2 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon and the curtain rung down on
everything of a speculative nature pertain
ing to the huge affair.
By that time, too, there will have, been
delivered about 100000 bushels of wheat.
if anything like the recent rate of Increase
in stocks of contract wheat holds good
tomorrow.
To-days action of the market and the
enormous purchases of December by the
Letter brokers seem proof that there is no
December shortage now outstanding. 1t
was this fact, as much as anything else
which made the trade bearish, despite a
very bullish array of news for the day. 1t
is generally expected that the great deal
will be wound up without the sensations
that were looked for early in the month
The plucky manner in which all of the
cash wheat was taken in by Letter, and
the liberal way in which May wheat has
been bought, led to a revulsion in the feel
ing on the curb after the close.
The report was current that the British
had called out their naval reserves and
the news threw the bears into panic.

Albany, Ga, Dec 30.-The freight depot
of the Albany and Northern railway at
this point was destroyed by fire between 2

had made such Roadway when the alarm
was sounded that the building was prac-

quantity of freight. including several
pianos and organs, in The building and
nothing was saved.
The building and its contents were in
sured in the Home INSURANCE Company
of New York, and the loss will probably
be anywhere between $3.50 and $4,000.
1t was discovered after the fire that an
attempt had been made to force open the
safe in the depot office The dial plate
and lever had been broken off, and a crow
bar lay where the burglars dropped it.
Some goods had been carried by them to
the door with the evident purpose of cart
ing them away, but for some reason were
not removed. A 50-pound key of gun-pow-
der was in the depot, and huge burning
timbers were thrown In every direction

DIsTILLERs TO FORM A POOL.
Common Distribution to BE Appoint.
ed for 100000 Barrels.

Louisville, KY, Dec 3O.-Leading Ken
lucky distillers have inaugurated a move
ment for pool of the big stocks of the
past years. 1t is claimed that 100000 bar
rels of whisky will be put into the pool.
A common distributor will be employed.
The whisky firms al Cincinnati, st. Louis,
Peoria, Chicago and other places are in
terested in the enterprise.
1t develops that the following commit
tee is in charge of the matter: John NJ.
Anterior of Louisville, chairman; George
W. Harris of Cincinnati Nicholas Walsh of
Cincinnati; George A. Swearngen and
John G. Roach of Louisville and A. r.
Monarch of OwensboroN
Nothing definite has been accomplished.
The meetings have been purely informal
According to the plan first proposed, ii is
intended to form a corporation with a
president and board of directors. The
corporation will become the distributor,
controlling the output and fixing the
prices. The distfllers hope TO accomplish
much with the pool. The end this
scheme has in view is to restore prices,
keep the market firm and prevent the
trade Generalization that is inevitable I'M
der the present conditions.
