never been considered beauty, who
had been always her own inferior in
every graceful accomplishment of So
ciety. How many times she and her
friends had agreed that it was only
her money that gave Emmeline any po-
sition! And her contempt for her rival
was perfectly sincere. She was honest
ly unable to appreciate the charms of
unaffected modesty, of solid informa-
ton, of gentle refinement, that had
won Harry Spencer's love, and was blind
to the winning beauty of Emmeiine' s
soft, violet eyes, delicate features and
graceful figure. She could not realize
that just such snowy beauty as her
own, such bold, free manners, such
evident desire to win admiral ton, had
made the contrast of Emmeline's ex-
quisitely womanly modestly so aIlur-
ing to man of Harry Spencer's poetic
temperament.
1t was q week after the writing of
Harry Spencer's laundering letter
when one morning the gentlemen were
in the library, looking over the letters
Just received by the mornings mail.
During that week, neither by word nor
look had Stella betrayed her knowledge
OF Harry Spencer's engagement, and
her efforts to win him had rather IN
creased than diminished.
The gentlemen had read their let
tiers, and were perusing the daily pa
pers, when Stella, stepping airily into
the room, tossed some cards on the
table; cards tied with snowy ribbon
and bearing the names of MIR. and
Mrs. Horace Grantley' and Miss
Campbell" "A wedding. George" Stel-
la said; that little pasty-faeed En-
incline Campbell. never imagined she
would get married! But she has money,
and that will cover her insigniticance,

ing most ferocious faces, have / said
anything l should not? Is she rela-
tive of Mr.. Spencer?'
The innocence of this inquiry was
the perfection of acting, and, having
waited u moment for the grim silence
TO be broken, Stella fitted away again,
to reperuse the letter in which EN-
incline informed her of her aunt's mar
riage, and to apply a match to sec
ond letter containing similar cards and
information directed to Mr.. Spencer,
and skillfully stolen from the mail box.
There was a moment of dead silence
following her departure, and then, with
a white, set face, Harry said. quietly:

! 1t is assumed that there does not ex-
list the slightest doubt as to the Klon-
| dyke region being well within Canadian
territory. Although it is only within
| the last few months that the Yukon dis
| trict has sprung into notOriety, the
Canadian government surveyors have
been there for many years. In 1887 an
expedition was sent by the interior de-
| partment to explore that part of the
northwest territories drained by the
Yukon river. The expedition was un-
der the charge of DR.. George NJ Daw-
son. now director of the Dominion:
Geological survey, and of Mr.. William
Ogilvie, who had had previous expert
ence in exploring aud surveying the
| northwest. Their chief task was to
mark out the one hundred and forty-first
meridian of longitude, which is desig-
| mated by treaty as the boundary line
between the United States and Canada
from Mount ST. Elias to the Arctic
ocean. Mr.. Ogilvie determined, by n
series of lunar observations, the point
AT which the Yukon river is intersected
by the one hundred and forty-tirss
meridian. and marked the same on the
ground. He also determined where the
boundary line crosses Forty-Mil creek.
the western af1iuent of the Yukon in
the gold-benring district. The Canadian
surveyors reported at-the time that lin
proximity to the boundary line there cx-
listed extensive and valuable placer
mines,' and in view of this fact they
made their observations with special
care. The United States government
was invited to make joint survey. and
the invitation has been repeated since,
but up to this time there has been nc
disposition to take advantage of it.
The boundary. according TO the sur
veyors. crosses Forty-Mile creek "a

into the Yukon. Fort Cudahy. which rs

and Forty-Mile creek, is. therefore. con-

The Wisconsin state federation
has been in session this week, at
Appleton. A new constitution was
considered, and resolutions were
adopted urging workingmen to buy
and wear such clothing as bears
the label of the United Garment
Workers of America; declaring
that all union workmen should re-
gard as "unfair" the beer manufact-
ured by certain companies at La
Crosse, because of union workmen
having been locked out Of these
brewreies; recommending the pass
age of law regarding the building
of scaffoldings for workmen on
buildings, similar to the Minnesota
law; and denouncing the "pluck

occurred in connection with our To-

was Mr.. John F. Lloyd, American
Railway Union of Chicago, who
Spoke in Union hall. to an audience
that crowded it to it's utmost capa-
city. Mr.. Lloyd held his audience
spell-bound by his logical and
forcible arguments. <e told them
that they must study economic and
social questions in their union
halls; "but," said he, keep politics
on the outside, as these are the rocks
which have wrecked all of the great
reforms of the day. Be individual
politicians as American citizens;
get into your unions,-they are the
school of education for the toiling
masses. It is not grammar, rheto-
ric and vocabulary that make edu-
cation, but a knowledge of your
own condition." He spoke of the
causes, effects and the way out of
this present industrial quagmire;
he touched briefly on the great
movement which is being inaugu-
rated for evolutionizing the world
from the industrial system to the
socialistic system or brotherhood
of man,-describing in vivid word
pictures the hard, cruel facts of
everyday life. At the conclusion
of the address, which extended l
hour and 40 minutes, the vast audi
ence burst into one prolonged
round of applause. In the after
noon, Mr.. Lloyd, accompanied by
ecretary Askew, went to Negau-

HAVANA, Nov. 9.-The Spanish cruz
ser A!fonzo XIII, with Marshal Blan-
CO. the new governor general of Cuba,
on board, was sighted off Havana this
morning at half past s. At 7 o'clock
the Alfonzo Mi entered the harbor
and Captain General Weyler, the Mar
quis Ahu'-ada, Admiral Navarro, and
other high military and naval officers
went in the special steamer to meet

At 1890 Marshal Blanco landed.
According to the official account he
was enthusiastically greeted" by the
populace, who shouted "long live
Blanco."
Captain General Weyler and Mar.
shall Blanco exchanged farewells on
board the Alfonzo NlII, and the
steamer Montserrat sailed at ! o'clock
p. m. She was escorted outside the

Buys Up All the Cattle transportation
space ON Eng liSh Ships,
NEW York, Nov. 9.-Practically all
Of the outgoing room for the trans
portation of cattle on the regular
transatlantic lines has been cornered
by syndicate composed of English
cattle buyers and P. D. Armour of
Chicago This means that indepen-
dent cattle shippers in this city will
be shut out Of the English markets,
and that the price of beef will thereby
be advanced.
Contracts have been placed with the
White Star line for one year for all of
the company's cattle room. Other con-
tracts have been made with the Allan.
tic Transport line Of New York, Phil
Rdelphia and Baltimore for the same
length of time, and with the National
line for two years The negotiations
have been carried on by William Bow
err, formerly large cattle shipper OF
this city, but who has of late been
in England. Schwarzschild G Sulz-
berger and Shamburg & Sons, the two
largest shippers in this city, who are
out of the syndicate, are shut off from
getting space on any of the vessels
that ply between here and London or
Liverpool. The only lines not con-
tracted for are the Wilson line to Hull
and the Allan line to Glasgow.
The prices at which the contracts
were made provide for the carrying of
cattle at forty shillings a head, not
including at this rate any insurance
or fodder. A representative of
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, in speak
ing of the effect that the corner on
shipping space would have, said to-
day:
"As conservative business men we
did not feel warranted in making
large contracts in advance at 40 shil-
lings when competitors have been able
to obtain rates as low as IS shillings.
The now arrangement may result in
our doing our business via other ports,
which will take the shipping Of our
cattle entirely out of New York
The cornering of the cattle trade
has led to negotiations for a new line
of steamers to run between New York
and London.

President Mckinley Mark
HAnna's Guest at His
Cleveland Home.

NEW YORK, Nov 2.-Tammany pro-
fesses to have profted most largely
by Georges untoward death. Conf
dent of victory before, its sachems do
not admit the possibility of defeat this
day before election. The leading
bookmakers offered 3 to l on Van
Wyck and complain that even then
they can find nobody to put up
any money against him. The only
proposition that looked attractive to
the Low betters was that the Citizens
Union nominee would beat his Repub-
lican opponent. Many small wagers
were booked on this proposition. the
odds averaging to In Lows favor.
George Wheelock, who is among the
most enthusiastic of General Tracy's
supporters among the betting men,
since Georges death cancelled the book
he had originally made Wheelocl1 has
made series of bets on Tracy. He
had s., 0U0 bet on Saturday night, put
ting up $45 against 800 on the result
between Tracy and Low He was not
satisfied then, and he expressed de-
sire to take $4,000 more against
Tracy at odds of TO l.
Joe" Vendig wandered about the
hotel corridors last evening and this
morning in search of anti-Tammany
money. He wanted to find some body
who would put up $500 on Tracy
against 81, 500. He has thus far bet
about $4,000 on Van Wyck since
Georges death, at odds averaging ~
to l. Before Friday he had $2s, 200 on
his books, mainly to l. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the bets de-
clared off aggregated IA million dol
lars and that hardly o. quarter of
this amount has been aced since
Friday.
