as worthy of their esteem. Hannah
Salter, daughter of Richard and Sarah

and visited the valley of the Schuylkill,
in Pennsylvania to see for himself
whether or not the lands there were as
fertile and beautiful as reported. He
was so well pleased that he resolved
to become a citizen of Pennsylvania,
and remove to Amity township.
1t seems conclusive that John did not
go with his father, but remained in
Freehold, and married there. 1t was
on the Schuylkill that the Lincolns,
Hanks and Boone families became as
ISOLATED. When Mordecai Lincoln died
he left George Boone, father Of the
more celebrated Daniel Boone, to look
after his will. The lands were equally
divided between the sons, Mordecai,
Jr., Thomas. John and Abraham. John
and Thomas Lincoln later went to
Virginia. The Boones moved to
Wilkesborough, N. c. The Hanks fam

RELIEF BILL SIGNED.
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars to Aid

Starving Yukoners.
Washington, Dec. 21.-Both houses
of congress today passed the joint reso-
luton for the relief of miners in the
Yukon valley, Alaska, and in a short
time it had received the signature of
the president.
The bill appropriates 5000, 900, to be
expended under direction of the secre-
tary of war in the purchase of supplies
for the relief of the people in the Yu-
kon country or other mining regions of
Alaska, and for the transportation and
distribution of such supplies, provided
that, if the consent of the Canadian
government be obtained, the secretary
of war may extend the relief into Can
adian territory. The resolution fur
ther provides that the supplies may be
sold in that region at such prices as
may be fixed by the secretary of war, or
donated to those unable to pay for
them. The secretary Of war is author
lied to use the United States army in
carrying into effect the provisions of
the act, to import reindeer and drivers
for the transportation of supplies, and
to adopt such other provisions as are
practicable The secretary is directed,
when the work shall have been COM
pleted, to sell the reindeer or turn
them over to the secretary of the inter-
ior, in his discretion, and to make a
detailed report to congress at the be-
ginning of the next session of such dis
bursements made and results accom-
plished under the act.

BONDING MINERS OUTFITS.
Canadian Customs Commissioner Gives
Out Regulations.

Washington, Dec. pa response
has been received to recent letter
from Secretary Gage TO the commits.
sioner of customs, requesting informa-
tion as to the bonding of miners outfits
through Canadian territory on the
route from Juneau by way of the Chill
koot pass and the Yukon river to Circle
City. The commissioner says that the
following regulations have been pre-
pared to meet the case:
Imported goods, as above described,
shall be reported to the Canadian GUS
tom-house at Tagish, and may be en-
tered for expectation there in the usual
form, ''in transit" in duplicate. The
goods may then be delivered without
payment of duty to be carried to their
destination out of Canada by any tran
sportation company which has duly
executed bond in the form prescribed
by the minister of customs for the due
and faithful delivery of all packages
carried by such company and for the
general compliance with the customs
laws and regulations governing such
traffic.
n VI GIlS SlIlIy
duly signed and marked with the proper
customs stamp, shall accompany each
shipment of goods conveyed by bond

turned to the custom-house at Fort
Cudahy with certificate thereon as to
the landing of the goods in the United
States, or of their having passed out
ward from Canada, within six months
from the date of the entry.
If the goods, when entered in transit
for expectation, are not delivered to be
forwarded by bonded carrier, as pro-
vided in the last proceeding section,
the duty thereon is to be deposited with
the customs officer at Lake Tagish,
subject to a refund of same at the port
of Fort Cudahy, when the goods pass
outward thereat, or upon the certificate
of an officer of the United States, or of

of entry. The duty deposited on such
is to be indorsed on the entry and GER
titled by the customs officer in charge.
and the duplicate of the entry, duty GER
titled and marked with ethe customs
stamp, is to be delivered to the person
making the deposit.
A report of such entry in transit

NO MORE SEALSKINS.
Important Clause in the Bill That Has
just Passed Congress.

Washington, Dec. 21.-It has been
developed that the bill relating to Pc
lagic sealing which has just passed
both branches of congress, and is before
the president, contains a provision of
far-reaching character which has thus
far escaped attention. This is an abso-
lutte prohibition of the bringing of seal
skins into the United States. AS the
United States is the largest market in
the world for sealskins this complete
stoppage of the trade in this country
will be severe measure against the
British and Canadian industries which
take and cure the skins and then dis
pose of them largely in the United
States.
When the bill was proposed it was
generally supposed that it's only pur-
pose was to prohibit American citizens
from carrying on pelagic sealing. This
feature was the only one to attract at
tention during the discussions. At the
adoption of the bill, however, section
was discoverd which was not restricted
to Americans. but applies to sealskins
in general, "taken in the waters men
toned In this act, Whlch 1nclude the
whole Pacific ocean. The provisions is
as follows:
Section 9. That the importation into
the United States by any person what
soever of fur sealskins, taken in waters
mentioned in this act, whether raw,
dressed, dyed or manufactured, is
hereby prohibited, and all such articles
imported after this act shall take effect
shall not be permitted to be exported,
but shall be seized and destroyed by
the proper officers of -. the United
States."
Those who are thoroughly familiar
with the bill say this provision is Of
far more Importance in its effect than
the prohibition against pelagic sealing
by Americans.
