The dominion government at 0tta-
wa. Ont. is now considering means TO
preserve to Canadians the lions share
Of the profits which will flow from the
northern Eldorado, but il is highly
improbable that there is any founda-
tion for the report that the exclusion
of all but British subjects is under con-
temptation. What the government
probably will do is to impose royalty
on all ore taken from the soil.

Tract Society Calls Attention to the
Great Work to BE Done.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Washington
annual meeting Of the American Tract so
ciety was held tonight in the West Street
Presbyterian church, Rev. William c. Alex
ander, D. D., pastor, Senator Burrows pre-
siding. Rev. Judson Swift, field secretary of
New York, presented a brief report of the
society's work. An earnest, eloquent sermon
was preached by Dr.. Alexander.
The report called attention to the fact
that 80, 900 600 Of the population are outside
the church, and that there was no more i'm
pOrtant work to be done in this country than
that of carrying the gospel truth to these
millions. 1t stated that the American Tract
society publishes Evangelical truth in 1873 Ian
guages and dialects; the total number of vol
umes in all languages published in New
York reaches 81 800, goo, and the total num-
Der of books and tracts nearly 500 .000, 600, and
the total periodicals over 200 500, 900.
Through its missionary cOlpOrtage, the re-
port says, the society has carried the gospel
truth to the out-of-the-way places and into
in detail It's work among the sparsely settled
districts.
The work at Ellis island is spoken of as
being Of great Importance, in that the col
porters there give the gospel truth in some
form to the large numbers that are arriving
daily on our shores.
The report also called attention to the fact
that the society's income has been lessened
by the falling off in legaces Of nearly $50 coo
during the past year, and that the great need
at the present time was an increase in dona-
lions. An earnest appeal was made to all
who are interested in Christian work to aid
by both their prayers and means, this noble
cause.

Planters Hopeful Of Yet Securing a
Crop.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 1.-THE
water in the Mississippi delta is slowly
receding. Reports received here to-
night from the overlooked country, are
most encouraging. The day has been
an ideal one and every planter is in
better spirits.
At Greenville the river as well as
the back water surrounding the town
is stationary tonight. Everything is
in readiness for the receipt and dis
tribution of provisions from the gov
eminent, and as soon as the army Off
GERS arrive the work will be actively
entered into. At Lula, Miss, a decided
improvement is noted. There Is still
some suffering in the back country
but it is being alleviated by the plant
ers, and today a representative of the
government arrived and will assist the
destitute at once.
The Yazoo and Mississippi railroad
has been busy all day with pile drivers
replacing washouts and bridges. The
road will probably have trains running
into Lula and Clarksdale on Tuesday.
1t is now believed the water will dis
appear by May 1, and If this proves
true, fair crop can be made. The

TWO HOLD-UPS.
The Tail Man and the Short Man
Operating Again.

HSd1hs
After brief respite from business cares
the enterpr1sing highwayman began opera
lions again last evening Two victims told
their troubles to the police and the prob
abilities are that there are others who did
not report their experiences with the gents
Of the road.
The first man to report was Nels Thuleen
Of 2607 Third street He was held up about
A:SO o'clock last night at Oak Grove and
Vine place. He was returning after making
call, and was on his way to the street
car. Two young men walked leisurely up to
him. The taller one commanded him to
bold up his hands, and the short man took
his silver watch and IS cents in silver, all
be had with him. They then commanded him
10 walk on.
Shortly after, E. T. Thompson, proprietor
Df drug store at Grant street and Nicollet
avenue. and residing at 1415 Pine place, re-
ported having been held up on Twelfth street
south between Second and Third avenues.
He was returning from a barber shop shortly
after IL o'clock and saw two coming
toward him. He thought their actions were
suspicious, and became fully convinced that
their intentions were evil when they sep
Rrated as if to let him pass between them.
Mr.. Thompson turned out to cross the street
when the larger man came after him. holding
up e gun to his body and saying: Hold on,
partner; all we want is your change" Mr..
Thompson Informed the gentlemen they were
welcome to rs cents in his overcoat pocket,
which they took. They overlooked $40
pill in an inside pocket and refused to take
bis valuable gold watch, saying all they
wanted was money. Neither man was masked
Ind both appeared to be young fellows. The
kA1ler man appeared to be the leader, as
be held the revolver while the short man
Rent through the victims pockets.
There is no doubt that the two men were
held up by the same pair Of highwaymen. 1t
was reported that two men had attempted to
hold up a man on Tenth street and this was
evidently the work of the same men. The
places where both robber1es were committed
were dark and the victims could give no
description of the men.

feet union Of the two sections" he said,
adding, every dollar Of Northern CAPT.
tai invested in the South is a new
preacher Of fraternity, and every fam
fly that makes a new home there is an
additional bond Of fellowship. Every
exchange of products is another argu-
ment for perpetual peace"
In conclusion, he said: GAS we ap-
proach the close Of the century, to use
the words of another let us resolve to
crown the miracles of our past with the
spectacle Of a republic, compact, indis-
soluble in the bonds of love-loving
from the lakes to the gulf-the wounds
Of war healed in every heart as on
every hill, serene and respondent at
the path and making clear the way up
which the nations of the earth must
come in Gods appointed time"

sANITARIUM DID HIM GOOD.
So He Thought, and Maybe He Was
Wiser Than He Knew.

The car stopped and the conductor
pulled some one on, then rang the bell,
says the Chicago Times Herald. The
person thus assisted stumbled in the
car, and after some difficulty managed
to seat himself For a minute or two
he grasped family, and some Of the
passengers were afraid he would ex-
pire right then and there. However,
he gradually revived and glanced about
the car for familiar face. In a cor
ner by the front door man was sit
ting reading a newspaper, which he
held unnecessarily close to his face.
1t was no use, for as soon as the new
comer's keen eyes fell upon him a
feeble voice called:
Mr.. Wink! Mr.. Winkr'
The man looked up from behind his
newspaper, and with a sigh folded 1t
and crossed to the side of the new
conner.
How are you Feebleton?" he asked,
holding out his hand, and evidently en-
deavortng to speak cordially.
FeebletOn smiled, disclosing toOthless
gums, and motioned Mr.. Wink to a
seat beside him.
Better, much better, my dear friend.
You ought to go to that sanitarium
yourself. 1t would make a new man of
you"
Mr.. Wink grunted and looked down
at the wreck beside him, then at his
own stalwart figure, but said nothing,
while Feebleton continues:
Yes, indeed. Why, the air has made
me all over again." and he smiled de-
lightedly. AS he had no teeth or hair
to speak of and his limbs were so Grip
pied with rheumatism that he was fore
ed to use crutches, 1t seemed as though
the atmosphere had mixed up things
a little In the remaking process, but
Mr.. Wink only said that he was very
glad that his friend felt better, al
though he feared that he was mistaken

dure in consequence of the death of your dis
unguished father, and begs to be informed If

QUEEN VICTORIA !.
One OF the Secrets of Her Long Life
Gand Vitality.

Ladies who suffer from poor health may
gain valuable information by reading of the
astonishing discovery recently made by the
London World.
This Journal has lately been investigating
the cause Of Queen Victoria's wonderful
health and strength and has discovered that
1t is due to the fact that she drinks whiskey
diluted with water. She does this by the ad-
vice OF the court physicians. The whiskey she
drinks is obtained from a private distillery
and is, of course, perfectly pure.
The facts above given prove two things
First that medical men universally recognize
that pure whiskey sustains the health and pro-
longs life; and second, that in order to do
good, the whiskey must be absolutely pure.
The leading American physicians have always
endorsed these views 1t is on this account
that they have so strongly recommended
Duffy's pure malt whiskey to people whose
systems need to be strengthened and built
up. This is because 1t is the only incidentally
pure Whiskey produced in America, and in this
respect 1t is totally unlike all others. So true
is this that while many temperance people
denounce WHISTLES in general, they acknowl-
edge the superior merit Of Duffy's pure malt
There are, however, many inferior imita-
lions sold by dealers, and, when purchasing
care should therefore be taken to see that
none of these is substituted.

SEAL FISHERIES TROUBLESOME.
Apparently IA New and Serious Turn
to NEGOTIATIONS.


WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE re-
cent appointment of ex-Secretary Eos
ter and eX-Assistant Secretary Ham
lin by the president to assist in the
negotiations now in progress with Great
Britain respecting the Boring sea seal
fisheries is indicative that this long
standing diplomatic issue has at last
assumed grave Importance, and that
an earnest effort is to be made to end
the present unsatisfactory state of af-
fairs.
EX-Secretary Foster has been familiar
with the earlier stages of the negOtia-
tiOnS leading up to the Paris arbitra7
ton, while to ex-Assistant Secretary
Hamlin is due in a large measure the
credit for the conduct of the negotia-
items of the regulations which he in
vited the British government to accept
From actual count, he showed that in
1896 no less than $4,000 dead seal pups
were found on the seal islands, which
had persisted from starvation, because
their mothers had been killed at sea
by sealing vessels. Also, it was stated
in the same season the vessels had
taken 44.169 skins as against 81, 585 in
the previous year, and Secretary Olney
asserted that If the killing was to go
on at this rate the total destruction
of the seal herd would be accomplish
ed in the course of about two more
seasons. To make the showing worse
from our point of view, it was stated
that the lawful catch on the islands
had largely fallen off. Efforts were
made to devise some way of insuring
the seal against the use of firearms by
pCacherS, but they came to nothing,
and the upshot was that both sides
stood firm, the British warning against
further indiscriminate search of Brit
ish vessels, and Secretary Olney stand
ing on our right to make 1t.
Meanwhile an expert commission sent
out by both governments made an ex-
haustive report tending to sustain Sec
rotary Olney's assertions regarding the
probable determination of the seals I'M
der present conditions, and it must be
upon this basis that the negotiations
will now proceed. -

LEvEEs CONTINUE TO cRUMBLE.

Flower Lake Dyke.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April n.-Maj. Dab
ney, chief engineer of the Yazoo levee board,
has arrived in the city from the scene Of
the Flower Lake creek, and had a consulta-
ton with Capt. Fitch and the members Of
the levee board who are in the city.
Maj. Dabney said that on Thursday he had
measured the crevasse by engineering in
struments and found that 1t was 1875 feet
wide. Since then it had increased to 1900
feet. His estimate of the volume of water
passing through the crevasse into the delta
is placed at $50, 600 cubic feet per hour.
1T will be absolutely impossible for a
levee of full size and height to be built
around the opening before the June rise"
said he. With the circular line that we
