The interests Of the great northwest
ern transportation companies and Of the
gold seekers are one and the same. A
tremendous country is to be developed
and civilized up there in very short
time. Dawson City itself is only 200
miles north Of st. Petersburg, and the
climate is milder than that Of the Rus
sian capital, owing to the influence Of
warm currents from Japan st. Peters
burg has 1000, 900 inhabitants. Un-
doubtedly, therefore, Dawson City and
all the adjacent region will in a very
short time be covered with railroads
and other roads. One transportation
company is already building great ho-
tel at st. Michael's, at the mouth Of the
Yukon, to accommodate the miners who
must stay there this winter. The trans
portation companies will find it to their
interest to report the exact facts in re-
gard to climate, etc., in the gold region.
Nothing else-no boomer nonsense
will answer.

Mr.. ]. Fl. Nichol, a, railroad man,
has found an effectual way to prevent
the raising of the dust clouds that SO
often choke summer passengers upon
railway train. Mr.. Nichol placed upon
an old fiat car tank filled with the
cheapest quality Of crude oil. To this
he fixed sprinkler attachment. An
engine hauled the sprinkler car along
the tracks where the dust and sand
clouds were most annoying, with the
result that the dust was fixed fast upon
the ground and could not rise. Passen-
gers passed over the road thence on in
entire comfort. The plan has been
recommended for the roads passing

The Discriminating Clause

With respect to the SO called discrim-
mating clause in the Dingley tariff law,
many people in New England and Can
ada are asking, "Who frowed dat brick?"
So far no satisfactory answer has been
obtained to the question who is respon-
sible for section % Of the new act.
For many years the Canadian Pacific
railroad has been shipping goods land
ed from English steamers in British
Columbia and various British American
ports direct through to the United
States to be sold. The only duty paid
was that levied on all foreign goods
when received at San Francisco and other
American ports. The fact that American
railways were under the restrictions of
the interstate commerce law and COM
PEELED to observe it's long and short haul
provisions gave the Canadian road de-
cided advantage. It could make better
freight rates than the American lines.
Section 20 Of the Dingley bill re-
quires that an ad valorem tax of 10 per
cent shall be placed on all foreign goods
brought to America in foreign vessels
and shipped into this country through
countries contiguous to ours The
clause, however, will not be enforced
against countries with which the Unit
ed States has special commercial trea-
ties. We have no such special treaty
with Canada, and section % hits the
Canadian railroad slap direct. New
England merchants complain that it in
creases the cost Of goods received by
them from foreign lands through Can
ada. They had large trade in such
goods, but the American railroad COM
panies and western and southern mer-
chants like the clause, and SO it goes.
Speaker Reeds famous reply that the
explosive provision "just slipped in"
promises to become historic.

From the London Mail: II ever the

If the patient keeps alive he gets
money for caring for him. II his
friends tire of paying for his keep he
is placed in the chamber Of tranquil
llty." After he dies the undertaken,
that pooh bah who has three offices
only, buries him and makes money out
or HIM to the last. Imagine a room
about ten feet wide and twelve feet
long, filled with the odds and ends Of
a junk shop. Let this room be so dark
that 1t takes two candles to make q
light, and so filled with the malodor-
Gus smells that are usually met with
IN Chinatown dens that strong man
hes!tates before he enters and gasps
for breath after he gets inside. Place
a half dozen hunks round the walls
and cauldron in which some witches
broth is boiling in the corner. Let the
walls be so full Of ratholes that the
three cats which maze themselves
at nome on the hunks with the sick
Cinnamon are insufficient to watch
them all. Imagine all this, and you
may have some slight conception of
what the interior Of Chinese hos
Eital looks like. If your Imagination
Is very vivid, and you have seen
Chinese opium dens, you may get pref
ty close to the real thing. Otherwise
1t Is beyond imagination. But the
front room above described is elysium
In comparison with the one at the
back. There are grades of darkness,
The scientists tell us, and these grades
may be found in a Chinese hospital.
Some darkness can be seen, some can
be felt. That in the back room can

hear breathing, as il someone were ex-
hausted after a long run. You are
not mistaken. 1t is a man breathing
heavily in his race with death. He is
still alive, and you wonder why.
Cropping your way, you reach some
stationary object and light a match.
t just gives enough light to enable
you to see candle on bench and you
light that. Then you feel that an cleo
trio arc light would scarcely be suffi-
,ient to enable you to pierce that
Stygian darkness. 1t is well, perhaps,
that you have an obscured vision. It
Is possible that If you could see all
that is in the room at once you, too,
would be a sick man. 1t is a noisome
den, where vermin abound; where
'ats make their home; where the liv-
ing and the dead humanity lie side by
side-the one waiting for its coffin and
he other for the cessation Of the
