The Laundry business has developed i'm

ironing machinery cleared the decks OF u
good deal of costly hand labor, and mother

IL is estimated that the tremendous
sum of $40, U0J, COO is invested in steam
laundries in this country and about a
firth of that capital is IN hand laundries.

FOREIGN BOUNTIES.

Under tho bounty section of tho new
tariff bill 10 appears that Uncle sam will
place a tax on the value OF the foreign
product that receives an export bounty as
that value is artiicially raised by such
bounty.
In other words, where the foreign
government offers bounty on product
exported to the United States to encour-
age such export. and assist the exporter
TO put his goods in favorable competition
in the American market despite the tax
at the custom houses, the bounty tend
ing TO reduce the burden OF the tariff
tax, the Dingley bills bounty section pro-
vidcs th at the taxable valuation of such
product shall be the actual valuation
plus the bounty.
This Is all fair ms business scheme
The foreign government socks TO put It's
exporters In position to get ahead OF
Uncle Sans tariff and the DinRley bill
simply oheckmates the move.
Better reciprocal arrangements are of
course the object OF the bounty section
What the result will be will be awaited
with interest
AT all events, our government has done
wisely In taking steps TO meet this kind
OF commercial assault.

70 Commander Little took charge OF the
battalion drill yesterday and put the
battalion through all the movements. IL
was the first drill of this Kind ever held
by the reserves. The various movements
were explained by tho commander and he
was apparently well satisfied with the
result of the morning exercise. In the
afternoon there was IN interesting cxhi-
bition on the boats when the crews went
out to try tho new sails, and the mon had
little drill ia this respect.
The evening was given up TO jollitv.
There was burlesque battalion drill in
imitation Of the morning exercise and
there was war dance. When the camp
fires were lighted the vocalists OF the
camp sang 1.-The Old Oaken Bucket
and all the other familiar tunes and the
musio was much enjoyed by all hands
The daily round OF beer is popular
mart of the routine, but the privilege Is
not abused and beer is good thing whom
water is scarce or of bad quality. The
water supply is considered poor, ms IL is
quite distance removed from the camp
Today tho morning drill was made by
companies and it was followed by battal-
ion drill and guard mounting.
The hospital corps detail has been kept

WAS THOUGHTFUL.
Gillian Turned Over Cash and Bauk
Book Before He Went TO jail.

John Gillian. who pleaded guilty In
the Sixth District Court yesterday morn
ing to the charge Of making an assault on
his wife Mary, with "A pistol, demonstrated
TO the police yesterday afternoon that he
retained husbandlike feeling for the
sharer of his joys and sorrows, although
for while what little JOY there IL she
will have 90 share alone.
Monday Gillian had been drinking poor
rum. and was on the border OF being
drunk, so ho called on Capt Matthews
at the Central station, and told him that
he would like to have him take charge OF
his effects.
The captain did so and the effects con-
sisted Of one S20 bill, four $40 bills four
50 bills and bank book representing
si65. AT that time Gillian had no idea
that q few hours later he would bo
n prisoner or that he would be charged
with wife beating.
He simply left the money with tho cap
tain, for ne knew II he retained 1t, he
would spend the greater part Of 1t.
After the old man had been arraigned
and found that he could not get bail he
requested Capt Matthews to send tor
Mrs Gillian.
When she arrived,at the Central station
husband, wife and the police captain
held a conference In the office, and the
money and bank book were turned over
to Mrs. Gillian at Gillian's request.
The bank book and cash are said to
have been the cause OF the trouble at
home

LEGAL COMPLICATIONS.

cations which have presented them
selves may yet intervene to prevent the
detail of company OF United States

selves as soon as the subject was first
broached and have been the source of
some annoyance to the officials, who
feel that w-preserving body Of men
Is esse ntial 10 the we'll being Of the peo-
pie who are nocking TO the gold coun-
try. No doubt appears 10 be entertained
OF the power of the president 10 send a
company Of soldiers. but the question
raised Is just what authority they will
have after being located there. Can they
be ordered out TO quell disturbance
Can a Judge OF n court or a marshal be
clothed with authority 10 dispatch the
soldiers to- the scene OF the trouble?
Even IL this power sted with the gov
ernor of Alaska he is located at SitlSa,
q great distance from the gold region,
and by the time his authority could be
obtained the harm would he done.
The question was discussed by the
president and Secretary Alger at the
White House last night. but no decision
was reached. The president and his
cabinet hope that a satisfactory con-
clusion may be arrived at so that de-
tachment OF soldiers can be sent TO the
territory.

It will occur TO most people that the
Canadian government has decided wisely
in concluding not TO attempt TO keep
aliens out Of the Klondike region.

But no country could suffer from the
coming Of the men from all parts OF the
world to dig gold from its hills.

tically no competition.
We should say that Canada will profit
Immensely by the thousands now going
into her territory after gold.

The liberal policy thus decided upon
by the Canadian government will, rs is
the case In every liberal business policy,
be a money maker for our Canadian
cousins.
From the Klondike fields gold Is sure
