ALASKAN GOLD FIELDS.

Prof. Walcott says They Cover Many
Hundreds OF Miles
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-The Secre-
tary of the Interior today sent to the
Senate report by Prof C. d. Wolcott,
Director of the Geological Survey. of an
exploration of the Alaska gold fields
made last summer by party sent out
by the bureau. Sufficient data" said
Professor Walcott, were secured to es-
tablish the presence of a gold belt 400
miles in length in Alaska, which enters
the territory near the mouth of Forty
Mile Greek and extends westward
across the Yukon Valley at the lower
ramparts. 1t is known that the gold
belt extends eastward for a considera-
BILE distance into the British possess
sions. There can be little, if any, dis
pute, however, as to the position of the
boundary line where it crosses the belt.
The disputed line is from Mount st.
Elias south to the head of Portland
channel" Professor Walcott asks for
an appropriation of $4,000 to enable a
more complete examination being

Over Canadian Matters.

Ministers Cartwright and Davies Talk
Over Canadian Matters.
WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-Sir Rich
ard Cartwright and Hon. Mr.. Davies.
the Canadian Cabinet Ministers now
in Washington, called on President
Cleveland today. They were accom-
panied by Secretary Olney, whom they
have seen several times during their
stay here. The party were received
very cordially by the President, and
remained for half an hour, discussing
matters incident to their business.
THE President was very chatty and
agreeable said Mr. Davies, one of the
commissioners, and showed that he
was well versed in matters affecting
the business interests of adjoining
countries. The subject of trade rela-
tons between the two countries was
gone over with some detail. The Presi-
dent, in the course of the conversation,
pointed out that he was merely await
ing the introduction of his successor
into office"
The Commissioners continue each
day - to see--fnenbers OF Congress
to talk over with them the business
which brought them here. They re-
port a marked interest in the object
of their visit, and say they are re-
ceived in the kindest manner. The in
timation they have received, however,
is that nothing positive can be done
at the present time in the way of the
formation of any trade arrangements.
When they return to Ottawa the Com
missioners will recommend the ap-
pointment of a Commission, to sit with
a similar Commission representing the
United States, to take into considera-
ton the matter of trade relations be-
tween the countries and report to their
respective governments on the advisa
bility of reciprocal arrangements.

LONDON, Feb. 6.-The Prince OF
Wales has instigated the publication
in the daily papers of long letter ex-
planning the royal wishes regarding the
Queens Jubilee. He says that. having
ascertained that the Queen has no de-
sire to express any preference or make
any suggestions regarding the national
commemoration of the jubilee, he is
disposed to appeal to the public for ma

the hospital fund number less than /
in 100 of the population and he has,
therefore, decided to ask for the coop

bers of this committee are the Earl of

clude all classes of the population, and
they will be invited to give from a
shilling upwards annually to the

don in commemoration of the sixtieth
anniversary of the reign Of Queen Vic

What DR.. Rauwolf Did.

Coffee is said to have been introduced
into Europe by DR.. A. Rauwolf, Ger
man physician, about the middle of the
sixteenth century. He got it from Ara
bia, after it had passed into that coun-
try from Abyssinia. 1t is pity, for
coffee is one of those seductive stimu-
lants which do harm under the disguise
Of seeming to do temporary good. 1t is
q nerve poison on the same principle
that alcohol is, and opium. Hence the
public are to be congratulated on the
prospect Of the new food drink, Grain-O,
taking its place. The latter is prepared
from pure grains. is nourishing, sustain
ing and healthful, and never affects the
nerves. Those who have tried Grain-O
say nothing can induce them to resume
the use of coffee. Good for children as
for adults. Cost, one-fourth that Of
coffee. Packages 15c. and 25c. Ask
your grocer for it.

The Great Mouse Hunt.

A lady, while engaged in the pursuit
Of her domestic duties, encountered a
mouse in the flour barrel. Now, most
ladies, under similar circumstances,
would have uttered few genuine
shrieks, and then sought safety in the
garnet; but this one possessed more
than the ordinary degree of genuine
courage.
She summoned the manservant, and
told him to get the gun, call the dog,
and station himself at convenient
distance. Then she clambered half
way upstairs and commenced to punch
the -four barrel with a pole.
Presently the mouse made it's ap-
pearance and started across the floor.
The dog at once went In pursuit. The
man fired, and the dog dropped dead;
the lady tainted and fell down stairs;
and the man. thinking that she was
killed, and fearing that he would be
arrested for murder, disappeared, and
has not been seen since. The mouse
escaped.-Nd-Bits

1T WAS NOT A FOUL BLOW,
Although Veriscope Pictures of the
Carson Battle Show 1t.

A recent issue of the New York Jour
nal reproduced Fitzsimmons' last blow,
as shown in the veriscope. 1t depicts Cor
bett with his left hand to his heart, his
right glove resting on the stage, his left
knee bent and his right almost touching
the stage. In this position he was abso
lutely helpless. The paper claims that
this picture verified Billy Brady's state
ment that Fitzsimmons fouled Corbett in
the last round. Sports who saw the fight
do not agree with that conclusion. 1t is
true that Corbett, in the position shown,
is absolutely helpless and defenseless, but
he is not down in the strict sense of the
meaning of the rules Of the ring. The
men fought under the rules of the Mar
qus of Queensberry. These rules eXpli-
city state that all points of fighting. not
covered by them, are to be governed by
the latest rules of the London prize ring.
Under the prize ring rules man is not
down unless one knee and one hand
are touching the stage. Besides, the ex

that Fitzsimmons struck at Corbetts jaw
as Jim was sinking to the stage. No
doubt his intention was to knock him out

Pestiferous Buffalo Gnats.

John W. Rusk, of Bellport, n. c.,
writes to the New York Sun regarding
the buffalo gnat:
Il think that, as a native OF North
Carolina would say, the entomologists
have not met up with the g1rat in
question; possibly it is not distributed
over q large area of the country.
met the gnats several years ago In
Arkansas, on the bottom lands Of the
ST. Francis River, and think they were
the greatest day pests ever saw. III
shape they resemble a buffalo some
what; hence the name. They do not
bite or sting their victims. They have
disagreeabIe habit of flying from the
ground and striking one in the face.
But the chief trouble is that they crawl
into the mouth, nostrils, and the ears
and deposit their eggs, which hatch IN
a very short time. The larvae eat away
the membranes, causing death to large
numbers of stock of all kinds, and OF
many game animals.
1.-THE planters Oh the st. Francis set
old logs afire in the woods for smoke to
protect stock, which will eagerly rush
to the smudge and stand in 1t to get
rid of the pest.
ION one occasion [ was kindling a
fire to keep off gnats, when 81 large
buck deer. came rushing to the smoke
and stood in it, not needing my pres
ence. In few minutes a flock of wild
turkeys and also four or five wild hogs
came for protection. 1t is net an un-
common sight to see a mule before the
plow, trudging along with n Lucket
containing smudge hanging from its
neck. The mule will keep it's hose over
the smoke as much as possible. The
gnat cannot stand smoke"
