An Alaskan Railway

SEATTLE, Wash, June 19.-The Brit
ish Columbia Development Associa tior,
one of the wealthiest corporations in the
West, has completed arrangements for
constructing Sc miles of railway to Cen
trail Alaska, for putting in big saw
mill and for the establishment of a
townsite at Skagaway Bay, Alaska. By
this scheme it is proposed to turn all fu-
ture immigration to the Yukon and the
Klondyke gold fields of Central Alaska
from the route through Chilcott Pass
and st. Michaels to that over Skagaway
Bay. The pass at this latter point is
1000 feet lower than Chilcott Pass and is
more accessible. a dozen men have thus
far attempted to reach the gold fields
by the pass az Skagaway Bay and found
it comparatively easy of access and far
superior to Chilcott Pass.

MONEY MAKERS
Disappointed Because Americans
Won't Be Buncoed

LONDON, June 19.-London is in the
midst of the jubilee fever. Streets are
impossible, resembling a mixture of
carpenter shops and country fairs. They
are crowded with eXcursionists from
all parts of England, who are coming
in on special trains from all directions.
Everything seems to be half done and
incomplete. Many of the decorations
are already seedy from the two days
storm. Nothing, however seems to be
lacking in enthusiasm, unless it is the
case of the syndicates of spectators in
Jubilee seats who at all places except at
St. Pauls Cathedral are accepting any
reasonable offer.
The combined losses of the four larg
est spectators exceed $2Oo.O00 and on
every hand are inquiries as to where
are the Americars?"
Considerable disgust and even resent
ment is expressed at the fact that the
Americans have not bought up all the
available seats at the SPECTATORS
prices. Much sarcasm is directed
against the stand-holders. Whistler, in
Fridays Daily Chronicle, has a sketch
in which Nelson, speaking from the top
of his monument in Trafalgar Square,
is supposed to say: Boarded at last
Ell gland expects every man to be ridic-
Clous."
In addition, st. Martin is depicted as
putting up a sign on his church reading:
protestant House of the Lord to Let.
Apply to the Money Changers of the
Vestry"
TWO GREAT QUESTIONS
Two questions are agitating London,
the prospective weather of the jubilee
days the procession day, Tuesday. es-
pecially, and how to get to the seats
from which to view the procession.
A storm on Tuesday would almost
amount to a calamity and would epoil
the entire show The majority sof the
immense stands along the route are
quite uncovered and even the house of
commons stands do not boast of avn
ings. In many cases seat owners have
been notified that they will not be al
lowed to use umbrellas.
There is an absolute corner in all
kinds of vehicles and it will cost more to
drive to the seats than it has cost to
purchase the seats themselves.
Since early morning shoals of royal
personages and foreign special miseions
have been pouring into London, this
being the date from which they are the
guests of the government. The principal
railway stations of the continental lines
present an anima ted appearance. Their
platforms are covered with red carpets
and royal carriages are continually ar
irving and departing with bland off,
cials and brilliantly uniformed officers.

A GERMAN CABINET SHAKE-UP
HAS BEEN DECIDED UPON BY
THE EMPEROR
The Great Scheme of Naval Enlarge
ment the Pivot on Which Ger
man Politics Turn
Associated Press Special Wire.

BERLIN, June 19-(Copyright, 1879
In spite of the semi-official denials,
there is no doubt that a new shutting of
the cabinet had been decided upon by
the emperor. DR.. Won Boetticher, the
vice-president of the council of minis
ters and imperial secretary of state for
the interior, the vice-chancellor and
Prince Hohenlohe's mouthpiece in the
reichstag and diet, has intensely dis
satisfied his majesty by repeated re-
cent failures vigorously to represent the
government during important debates.
Emperor William is especially incensed
at the failure of DR.. Boetticher to reply
to Herr Richter's terrible arraignment
of his majesty's policy and acts in the
reichstag on May 18th. DR.. MIGUEL, the
minister of finance will replace DR.. Won
Boetticher with increased preroga-
tives and functions, not only in the
Prussian but in the imperial cabinet,
which will cause him to be intrusted
with the task of advocating the i'm
perial measures of the government, and
especially the navy schemes, bills, ETC.,
he being an eloquent speaker while the
chancellor is not. Prince Hohenlohe
will retain the chancellorship, although
he is anxious to retire to private life, but
he has permitted himself to be persuad-
ed to stick to his post until the autumn,
or until the pressing government meas
ures are disposed Of Dr. Miguel taking
most of the burden of the office upon
himself DR.. Miquel's sphere of duty
will also be enlarged by the crea ton of
the office of chancellor of the exchequer,
with similar scope and influence to the
British chancellor of the exchequer
Baron Marschall Won Beberstein, the
minister of foreign affairs, remains in
office for q while longer, or at least until
suitable successor can be found. 1t IS
an open secret that he has lost the favor,
and TO some extent the confidence, of the
emperor. 1t is understood that the post
of minister for foreign affairs has been
offered to Count Won Gutenberg the
German ambassador to Vienna, and to
Count Won Hatzfeldt-Wildenbu the
German ambassador at London, and that
they have both declined.
THE BOURSE LAW
The forcible dissolution of the tempo
rary produce exchanges of Berlin, Stet-
tin, Halle and other Prussian cities by
the police, under the pretext of their be-
ing contrary to the bourse law has
caused much dissatisfaction among the
spectators, and has also created Gu
rious situation. No produce quota
tions are now published, and no market
prices of cereals are given out any
where. The Berlin produce exchange
has appealed to higher court, and until a
definite decision is rendered things will
as at present Farnars are much eX-
cited, as harvesting will soon commence,

REDMOND'S
ANGEL.
The Irish Leader Finds One in
the Person of
Lewis s. Chanler, a Descendant
of the AstOrs.
HAS MONEY TO BURN.
He BOlsters Up the Tagging
Parnellite Cause.
Nav Become Naturalized and
Run for Parliament.

London. June 2s.-Lewis Stuyvesant
Chanler Of New York, is the latest and
most noteworthy accession to John Red
mond's political following. It is said that
Mr.. Chanler is ambitious for a seat in the
British parliament, and will shortly be-
come a naturalized subject of her Britain
mic majesty. which is an essential cOndi-
tion precedent to entering the house Of
commons.
At present he is the mysterious man of
the Irish political situation. Every one is
asking, as in the case of the fly in the
amber how he got there. He came over
from America on the same steamer as
John Redmond did early this year. and he
has been the constant companion of the
leader of the Parneu party since then.
Whenever an Irish debate is on in the
house of commons. in which Mr.. Red
mond figures, Dir. Chanler is almost an
unfailing occupant of the distinguished
strangers gallery. He has become
member of the organized committee of
the new Independent league of Dublin,
which Mr.. Redmond has been trying to
establish in Ireland since Timothy Har-
rington's detection.
More significant still, Mr.. Chanler has
become a member of the board of direc-
tors of Mr.. Redmond's Dublin Daily In
. dependent newspaper Until Mr.. Chan
We're ominous Fumors that the Redmond
party was in dire financial straits. Since
then it undoubtedly got an accession to
its funds. and naturally Mr.. Chanler is
believed to be the succOring angel. He is
filling at present a large space in Irish
political affairs, the curiosity concerning
his mysterious connection with the Red
mond party being widespread. 1t is even
rumored in Irish political circles that Mr..
Chanler may be Mr. Rednond's candidate
for the vacancy which has just occurred
in the parliamentary representation of
South RoscOmmOn caused by the death or
Luke Hayden. who had been member
since ParnelIs time.
The difficulty about Mr. Chanler's
American citizenship is not an insuper-
able obstacle. as two months ago a min
isteria1 candidate of q Fenian family. was
only naturalized the day before his nOmi-
nation for, parliamentary vacancy. The
Redmondites stand so well with the pres
ent UniOnist government that the home
secretary would make no difficulty about
granting naturalization papers to Mr..
Chanler Immediately if they were de-
manded. But Mr.. Chanler may not be
ready to take the plunge so hurried1y on
account of his extensive interests in the
United States.
Mr.. Chanler's mother was an Astor. His
brother was the first husband of AmeIie
Rives, who wrote 1.-The Quick and the
Dead" and is now Russian princess.
Lewis Stuyvesant ChanIer is a lawyer.
He owns property worth about 500 600,
and viii come into million more when
he is % years old, and spent four years
defending criminals in the courts of New
York, without fee or reward. He has
condemned the courts as barren of justice
and never complained of the ingratitude
OF his clients.

expenditure for repairs of hospital
buildings will amount to over $4,000.
The most extensive repairs will be
made at the Ottawa hospital When
this building was built a number of
years ago the interior was but roughly
plastered, with the intention of more
thoroughly plastering the rooms at
later date. This work was never done,
and the repairs to be made now will
consist in part of replastering the entire
interior. New floors will also be laid in
building repaired. In all the work at
the Ottawa hospital will cost in the
neighborhOOd of 50, 500.
The repairs at the Las Vegas hospital
will consist in q new plumbing appara-
tue and several new floors. AT the La
Junta hospital several new floors will
be put in, and the roof extensively re-
paired.
DR.. J. P. Raster the new chief sur
geon of the road is responsible for the
work being taken up at this time.

DR.. Schoeler maintained that by drop
ping cocaine into the eyes of the fire
men who were at work trying to con-

were enabled to remain without serious
discomfort for Is minutes a a time.

propose to have his men take any risks
in experimenting with the drug. He re-
