RAILROAD LINE TO DAWSON.

San Francisco, Oct. 4.-The con-
struction of a railroad from Vancouver
or from some point east of that place
on the Canadian Pacific line to Daw-
son City and the Klondike country in
general will not be very difficult or
expensive undertaking in the opinion
of Collingwood Schriber, of Ottawa,
who is in this city. He arrived yes
terday with party of ottawa people
including E. Newcom, deputy minister
of justice.
In discussing the building Of road
to Dawson Mr.. Schriber said:
1.-TWO surveys are now being made
from different points on the Canadian
Pacific. The latter company is max
ing one Of the surveys and the govern
ment is making the other. 1t will
be necessary to build only ninety miles
of railroad to make a good railroad
and water route from the Canadian
Pacific line to Dawson City. The rail-
road can be operated the year round,
but during the winter months the wa
ter route will not be open for steam
boats"
The chief object of the deputy mini
ster's western visit is to inspect the
progress of work on the Crows Nest
Pass railroad. The government has
granted it subsidy of $4,000 a mile.
1t is being built by way of Nelson on
Lake Kootenai, and will run through
the Rossland mining district. 1t is
undecided yet whether or not the new
overland line will be extended west to
tidewater or join the Canadian Pacif-
ic at Hope, which is lightweight miles
east of Vancouver. The total length
of the line will be about 600 miles.

1871 and in 1874 was chosen chief JUS

to the United States Senate as the re-
suit of one of the most noted dead

of the committee on claims and sue
ceeded Roscoe Conkling as chairman
of the commerce committee. He was
also a member of the judiciary and
revolutionary war claims commission.
On his retirement from the Senate he
resumed his law practice and after
ward held no office. A year ago he
was one of the leading spirits in put
ting stop to prize fighting in Mime
sofa. He was prominent in the Pres
byterian church and in 1890 was chosen
one of the two men from the west on

HE WILL RUN AS AN AV0WED
FREE TRADER CONCEAL
ING NOTHING,
Tammany Sends Out A Hurry
''Call-G George Thinks That He
Has Good Reason To Be Says
He Has Received Some
Large Offers.

New York, Oct. 4.-The Journal and
Advertiser today prints an interview
with Henry George, in which he says:
Il have been informed that there is
panic in Tammany camp. The lead
ers are alarmed at this sudden upris-
ing of men who are tired of the despot
ism of the machine. According to all
reports there is a good cause for fear.
But it is not confined to the managers
or any one party. OF course / am not
speaking of my own knowledge. l
only give what comes to me from trust
worthy sources. According to conf
Dental information received this even
ing hurry call was sent out today
by Tammany managers, summoning
the district leaders to immediate coun-
ell. A great danger was said to be i'm
minent. 1t was reported that offers
of substantial aid for our cause had
been made by responsible men, who
said they stood ready to help the cause
in all directions.
ct am willing to express myself
clearly on all the questions at issue.
My plan of campaign is to tell the
truth. / have nothing to conceal The
IndI dIfl d lOl uldyOi,
will not cause me to change any of my
views. MY opinions are founded on
principals that are not to be changed
because of the campaign.
81 am a free trader. 1t may prevent
some persons from supporting me. If
so 1 cannot help it. 1 am not adjust
ing my views to the eXigency of a po-
litical canvass. What 1 believe to be
the best for the country and the peo-
pie, 1 shall advocate. 1 am free
trader pure and simple. 1 recognize
no difference between a national and
a municipal campaign so far as honest
principals are concerned. In both
cases we want honest men who believe
in an honest administration of the
laws.
This is why / say, the men before
the grand jury asking for an indict-
ment of the tax commissioners, if they
keep on fighting, will surely win.
The Central Labor union has assum-
ed an impregnable position. 1t de-
mands that the laws shall be enforced

BOTHERED Commissioners
illinois And The Nashville
Exposition.
A VERY MUCH MIXED MESS OF
CELEBRATION P0TTAGE
ON HAND.
Between Nashville Exposition, Yellow
Fever, Public Library Board And
ChicagO's Historical Day The
Commissioners Don't Know
Where They Are At.
chicago, Oct. 4.-The Record says:

Chicago, Oct. 4.-The Record says:
Illinois commissioners to the Nash
Vile exposition have their own trou-
bles. Their mental unrest is over the
question, shall the worlds fair city
and the state of Illinois be formally
and creditably represented in the ex-
position next Saturday, the day set
apart by the director general at the
request of the Illinois commission?
The original intention was to have IL
linois day celebrated June IL, but the
session of the Legislature caused Gov.
Tanner to ask for the postponement
of the day to Oct. 9, when he promised
TO go to Nashville with his stan.
The yellow fever showed its head in
the far south and Nashville began to
feel the effect of the panic. Gov.
Tanner notified the commission that
the reports of yellow fever had induc-
ed half of his staff to say they will
not go south and he joined them in
the same decision, advising the corpor-
alton to abandon the official program
Then came the public library board
of Chicago, and regardless of the
Nashville celebration, but mindful Of
the fact that October 9 was historically
Chicagos day, decided to celebrate it
at home by defeating the library
building. The arrangement carried
with it an address from the mayor of
Chicago, and Carter III. Harrison felt
it incumbent to send to the Illinois
commission his regrets that he could
not be in Nashville and Chicago on
the same day. Another thorn in the
side of the commissioners was the pro-
gram which the north side citizens
arranged for a celebration of Chicago's
civic day.
Ferd. w. Peck, the president of the
agree with Mr.. Just. H. N. Higgan-
a proxy to act in his stead. Cover
nor Tanner has gone with his wife
and a party of friends to the Rocky
mountains and how to keep faith with
the people of Tennessee is the problem
which the commission will try to solve
at a special meeting today in the stock
exchange building.
Herman JUST, chief of the bureau of
publicity and promotion, has come to
Chicago to bring all his persuasive
powers to bear on the commission to
prevent an abandonment of the pro-
gram. He claims there is no more
danger of yellow fever in Nashville
than there is on Pixies Peak. A ma
agree with cn-twoiifc 'ngS-sAlimdoHE
jority of the commission appear to
agree with r. Justi. H. N. Higgan-
bOtham, Ferd. Peck, Judge Tuthill, r.
Hall Mccormick, Adolph Nathan and
Edward B. Butler have expressed their
intention of going, with or without a
crowd.
Pressure will also be brought upon
the public library board to release the
mayor from his engagement to speak
as the mayor said IL released he would
gladly head the Illinois delegation to

The committee of deputies which
was recently appointed to agree upon

able to reach an agreement.
Several of the members of the COM
mission advocate plan to authorize
the government by special act of con-

the commission to have full authority

CLEVELAND IN POLITICS.

Would Like to be Judge or United
States Senator.
New York, Oct. A special to the
Herald from Trenton, N. j., says;
The rumor that Grover Cleveland is
preparing to enter New Jersey poll
tics has foundation nj the fact that a
movement has been undertaken by
some of the Democratic alumni of
Princeton to obtain for him a position
on the bench of the court of errors
and appeals. The matter has been
thoroughly canvassed by members of
the faculty and of the alumni associa-
tons of New York and New Jersey.
There is a vacancy on the bench
caused by the death of William Lewis
Dayton. One report is that Mr.. Cleve-
land thinks favorably of the plan and
that his friends are preparing to get
up a monster petition in his behalf.
Another report makes it appear that
Mr.. Cleveland is doubtful of the wis
dom of such a course. 1t is a matter
of general gossip that Mr.. Cleveland is
willing to represent New Jersey in the
United States Senate as soon as an OPP
portunity affords. It is said that John
r. Mcpherson, formerly United States
who is a personal friend of
Mr.. Cleveland, is preparing to help
him with political honors, and for that
reason has taken up his residence in
a Jersey City hotel.

CANADIAN TAXES IN KLoNDIKE.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 4.-George Stan
ley, who is mining on FL Dorado creek,
in the Yukon, writes to his father in
this city that the claims owned by his
father and partner, Warden, on Edo
RADIO creek will pan out half a million
in gold nuggets this coming winter.
The letter predicts the claims on the
Bear creek will turn out as rich as
those on Bonanza and Eldorado
creeks; pans average five dollars each.
Stanley also writes that the Canadian
government is exacting royalty of
twenty-five cents per cord on wood to
be used in thawing out the gravel this
winter. A similar charge is also made
for logs used in building cabins for the
miners. During the summer forest
fires have destroyed large amount of
cord wood. Owing to the scarcity of
water but little sluicing has been
done.
