NEW CUSTOM STATIONS.
British Preparing for the Rush tc
Alaskan Fields.

Ottawa, Ont, July PA meeting
was held today in the office of Cliff
ford Sifton, minister of. the interior, at
which were present w. R. Scott and
William M Patterson, cabinet minis
ters and Mr. Deville, surveyor general.
1t was decided to order two customs Of
ficers from Victoria to establish sta
tions on the other side of the summit at
the head of Lynn canal
Arrangements will also be made to
enable Canadian boats from Victoria to
report at Juneau, and take up their
loads to the head of the canal for trans
portation through the passes. The
question of improved police protection,
the esta blishment of additional mount
ed police posts and the alterations in
mining regulations will be discussed
at a meeting of the cabinet on Monday
next.
In his preface to the report of Mr.
Ogilvie, Mr.. Deville, the surveyor gen.
eral, advises the people not to rush in
to the Yukon without properly count
ing upon the difficulties of getting out
again.
1t is evident the government fears a
rush into the gold fields and that star
walton may follow in the winter for
want of provisions.
A telegram was received from Wash
ington this afternoon agreeing to make
Dyea at the head of the Lynn canal a
port of entry.

county Jail gave way this morning and
flooded the basement. There was no ex-
plosion and no one was injured.
Saturday is wash day at the Jail. The
prisoners are compelled to take bath
and the cells and bed clothing are washed
thoroughly. Fritz Durein is the fireman
and when he started the fire under the
boiler everything was all right. The pro-
cess of washing was about half over

steam. The fireman did not know what
was the matter and excitement reigned
for some time When it was found that
there had been break in the boiler and
that no serious results would follow the
men were reassured and the fire was ex-
tinguiShed.

score. The building. although about
3UO feet in length, was a mass names
in about three minutes. Mothers and
fathers in the wild scramble to save
their lives, were lost from their chill
dren. Many children were rescued from
the burning building by heroic men who
themselves were terribly burned about
the face and hands in accomplishing
the undertaking. Those not injured
rushed panic stricken through the
woods towards the city, not even wait
ing for the long trains of street cars
standing in waiting to take the crowd
home.

NOBODY WANTS HER.
Belle Marsh is Toss ed Back and Forth
by Two Counties.

Poor Commissioner Hale today set an
example for the Kansas counties which
are in the habit of unloading their pau
pers on Shawnee county. He sent
Belle Marsh back to Wabaunsee coun-
ty, where she has been an inmate of the
poorhouse. When the authorities got
tired of keeping her they furnished her
with ticket and put her on the train
for Topeka. She arrived yesterday.
She at once hunted up Poor Commits
sioner Hale and asked for help. Upon
inquiry he found that the woman was
a WabaunSee county pauper. She said
they sent her away. She was furnish
ed with return ticket and will once
more be in Wabaunsee county, where
she belongs.

TO KEEP OUT MINERS.
Secretary Sherman Doesn't Think
Canada Will Enforce the Alien Act.

Canada Will Enforce the Alien Act
New York, July 24.-The World to-
day says:
Secretary of State John Sherman is
at the Fifth Avenue hotel. He will
leave at once for Anna agansett, Long
Island, where he expects to rest for sew
eral weeks.
The secretary was asked what he
thought of the reports that the Cana
dian government proposed to enforce the
alien act against American miners now
fiocking to the Klondyke gold fields.
Il don't know" said the secretary.
I'VE have an alien law of our own. We
have never enforced it against gold
miners. Canadian citizens have been
free to come to the United States and
mine for gold under the same terms
that our citizens did. There has never
been any friction over the matter. l do
not anticipate any serious trouble with
our Canadian neighbors on that score.
Where a man has taken up a land claim
for the purpose of residence and culti-
walton, we have always insisted that he
be a citizen. The same should be done
under the Canadian government.
When a man has been simply pros
pecting for gold with the intent of dig
ging into the ground little ways and
taking what he could find from land
against what was already no claim, he
has never been interfered with on our
side of the border
