AN IMPORTANT CONCESSION
Granted by the Honduras Government to
n syndicate of Americans.

WASHINGTON Aug. 2I.-Consul Jcrni-
gan, of Utilla, Honduras, has sent to
the state department report upon an
important concession by the Honduras
government granted to the Honduras
syndicate. This corporation is com
posed" says the consul, ''of we'll
known capitalists and linanciers of the
United States, mostly located in New
York. The syndicate has deposited
with the governmental Honduras $50, =
600 in gold rs a guarantee that it VIII
carry out It's part of the concession.
The Honduras government has noti-
fed all its collectors of customs and
other officials that the increase of duty
authorized in April last, to take effect
August t, will not be collected, as the
concession provides that there shall be
no increase in the existing tariff dur
ing the next five years without the
consent of the syndicate. This in
crease was equal to doubling rates on
many articles, and was almost prohihi-
tive on others.
The syndicate will oversee the col
lection of all duties and pay Honduras
stipulated sum in lieu of the collec-
tions. The syndicate will liquidate
the foreign (natiouaD debt within Il
given time and will open offices in
Europe for this purpose. The foreign
debt of Honduras amounts to several
| millions.
"rhe syndicate is authorized to con-
struct and operate n railroad from
Puerto Cortez to the Bay of Fonseea on
the Pacific coast, with such branch
lines as it may desire.
"rhe Honduras government con-
cedes to the syndicate the railroad and
all its appurtenauces now being oper
atcd 80 miles or more out from Puerto
Ccrtez. the right of way to Fonseca
bav and subsidy of $500 acres OF
land for each mile of road built and
operated by the syndicate. either as
main or branch lines, the lands to be
located contiguous to the road, and IN
alternate sections, or at any point de-
sired by the syndicate"
Consul Jarnigan says that this gives
to the syndicate the most valuable
franchise that could be obtained iu
Honduras.
The syndicate, he says, further,
has the power to build a narrow gaug'
transcontinental road and operate /
for 90 wears, and is not restricted as t
route. 1t also is given the right to or
ganize and operate banks and conduc
general banking business, and t,
bring in colonists who, however, mus
not be negroes.
The consul says this concession
means much to Honduras and th
United States, and describes in detail
how it will open up n rich country
never developed, furnishing an outle
for American enterprise and American
capital, and gives absolute control 0
the trade by the United States.

WASHINGTON, Aug. :4.-Some inter-
esting statements relating to the gold
region in Alaska and the reindeer eX-
pertinent there are brought ont in the
annual statement Of United States
Commissioner of Education harris,
submitted yesterday. 1t describes in
detail the progress OF the mining, the
growth of Circle City, Dawson and the
Klondike district, the two principal
routes via st. Michaels and via Chill
koot pass.
Touching upon the Importance o.
extending the introduction Of reindeer
into that territory the report says the
reindeer stations ought to be able to
furnish 800 reindeer trained to harness
at once for the use of the miners III the
upper Yukon.
at was my purpose" the commits
sioner goes on ITO detail three of the
skilled herdsmen aud 30 trained rein
deer to the Yukon region the present
summer"
If this arrangement is carried out as
instructed, an important experiment
will be in progress during the coming
year at the gold mines. The plan OF
the bureau has been to arrange a rein
deer express connecting towns in line
from Behring strait to kadals island.
| Superin tendeut OF Reindeer Stations
Kjollman last September proved the
practicability of this by making trial
| trip on this route. Two of his party
| were able to take the steamer at Kat
| mai, sailing to Sitka in March. This
arrangement, once completed, it will
| be possible for business companies in
San Francisco and other cities to hold
communication with their whaling
fleets during the winter north Of tbs
arctic circle.
There have been maintained il
Alaska 20 day schools under the super
vision Of the interior department, Win
% teachers and an enrolment of l. 261
pupils. A public school was opened
at Circle City, in the Yukon mining
district but the departments agent
writing from st, Mchaels, says he is
afraid he will be forced to discontinue
it because of the exodus of the city
population into the region nearer th'
recently Undiscovered mines.
"The influx of miners into the Yukoi
has caused demand for reindeer 10
freighting purposes. In the orlgina
plan for the purchase and distribution
of reindeer, reference was had to sc
curing new food supply for the fan
ishing E,kimos of the Behring Sea an
the Arctic Ocean region; but it
now found that reindeer are a
essential to the white man as to tn
Eskimos The wonderful Yukon place
mines are situated 70 to 100 mile
from the greater stream. Provision
brought from the south and landed o
the banks of the river are with gres
difficulty transported to the mines o
the tributary streams. Last Wlnte

freight charges from the river to IL
mountains range from 10 to 30 cen
per pound. The trained reindeer maxi

tance covered by dog teams, and haV
the advantage that they can use til
