Canada Has Given Up the Klon-

VEHEMENT PROTESTS WERE MADE.

Member of Parliament.

Ottawa, Aug. 12-The Canadian gov
eminent has abandoned its scheme TO
compel miners going into KlondilSe dig
gings to pay a royalty of from 10 TO Is
per cent upon all gold mined by them.
The announcement that such an at
tempt would be made called forth We
hement protests from politicians and
business men of the northwest and Pa
cihc coast, who realized that under
existing conditions such a policy could
only lead to serious trouble and prob
ably bloodshed
The storekeepers Of British Columbia
are too busy just now compelling pros
pectors to buy In British territory or
pay duty to consent to any policy which
would cause further irritation. Frank
oliver, a member Of parliament for AL
berta, put the case against the taxation
scheme strongly before the government
In a memorial to the ministry he said:
There is only one good point about
| this roposition-namely, that 1t is so
preposterous that it VIII never have any
effect under the circumstances and con-
| ditions which exist in the Yukon, and
probably if the authorities ever look
into the matter they win realize this
before making the attempt TO collect
such royalty. II the diggings are not
rich. this tax would either be impossible
or 1t would prevent mining and II they
are rich it would simply bring on a
fight in a region which, all things con-
sidered., Canada could not expect to
rule by main force except at cost that
would be much greater than the profit

Said the Union Pacific Reor-
ganiZatiOn Committee Has
Made New Offer.
Amount Bid Will Cover the
Full Government Claim
Against the Road.
Sale Will Be Proceeded With
Nov. | as Was Originally
Contemplated.

WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-Although the
government officials decline either to
affirm or deny the report of its accept
ance of the new proposition of the re.
organization committee of the Union
Pacific railway there is no doubt
OF its accuracy. This proposition is un-
derstood to be an increase of the orig.
inal guarantee bid of $4,000, 900 to a
sum sufficient to cover the full amount
OF the governments claim against the
Union Pacific railroad proper, which
on Oct l aggregated sos, 1893. This
includes the principal of the debt
which amounts to $27, ,5i2, and the
balance Of the interest paid by the
United States amounting to $50, $50, ,SS6.
This represents the full amount of the
Union Pacific's obligations to the gov
ernment. The sale Of this road will be
proceeded with as originally intended
about Nov. /.
AS to the Kansas Pacific road. the
company withdraws its guarantee and
consents to postponemelt Of tho sale
to any date to suit the
Convenience OF the Governments.
This action, it is understood, leaves the
government in the same position with
respect to the Kansas Pacific as before
the negotiations were instituted. and in
this situation the government may, if
1t so desires, postpone the sale in
defil ite'y. The debt of the Kansas Pa
cific to the government aggregates
nearly $l3,OOO,OO0, of which amount
$6, 1903, 900 is principal.
Whether the government will ask the
court to order sale of the Kansas Pa.
cific on Dec. Is cannot be stated, but,
should it 80 decide, it is understood
that no objection will be raised by the
reorganization committee. The net re-
suit Of the new arrangement, SO far as
concerns the Union Pacific, is regarded
by the officials as highly advantageous
to the government, as it secures all that
it has ever claimed to be due it, and
renders it practically certain that a
very large share of the debt of the Kan
sas Pacific will be realized, whenever it
may decide to consent to it's sale.

may be estimated at anything between
five and ten million pounds sterling,
according to the success with which the

Answer to Minister Woodford's
Note Is Received at the
State Department.
Nothing Official Is Given Out
but a Little information
Has Leaked"
Said the Administration Will Do
Nothing Until Congress
ReaSSembleS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The event Of
the day at the state department was
the receipt of the long-expected cable.
gram from United States Minister
Woodford at Madrid, transmitting the
answer Of the Spanish government to
his representations in the interest of
peace in Cuba. This message began to
come in installments at 2 in the morn
Ing and it was nearly noon before it
was all In hand at the state department.
1t was not the length of the message
that occupied the wires all of that time,
but the fact that it was all in groups of
figures, and that it was probably being
filed in small patches as it was turned
into the complicated state department
cipher in Madrid. All of this work
had to be undone at the state depart
ment and the message
Translated From the Cipher
back again into good English. This
occupied nearly all of the day, so that
1t was $3.50 o'clock before the first fair
copy of the message was turned out. 1t
was not SO long, in fact there were a
little less than 1000 words in the mes
sage, for Mr.. Woodford, instead of
cabling the whole of the Spanish
answer to his note, had contented him
self with reducing the matter to brief
outline. The first copy was taken at
once to the president, not being en-
trusted to messenger, but being de-
livered by Chief Clerk Michaels in per-
son at the White House. After due op-
portunity had been allowed the presi.
dent to read the message an application
was made for statement of its con-
tents or nature. This was declined by
Secretary Porter and it was said that
under no circumstances would the cor.
respondence be made public
Before Consideration of the Cabinet.
From unofficial information that has
reached certain administration officials
in advance Of this message of Mr..
Woodford's al to the nature of the
Spanish reply it is evident that in
neither language nor subject matter is
the communication likely to be taken
as offensive by our government. 1t
may be, it is true, regarded as insult
cient to meet the issue presented by Mr..
Woodford in his note, but officials of
the state department say that i'll view
of what has already been accomplished
by the new Spanish cabinet in reform.
ing abuses in Cuba, in removing Wey-
Ter and in projecting what appears to
be Liberal measure of autonomy, our
government will certainly rest, at least
until congress assemblies, and afford the
new Spanish government reasonable
time to carry out its plans.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2S.--A lighted cigar.

supposed to have caused the fire which

Chestnut streets occupied by the gen.

fire came SO suddenly that the Wabash
company was prevented from saving
anything. Every record in the Office of

estate deeds and surveys of every de-
scription-were destroyed. An officer
of the company estimated their loss at
