Adroit Reply.

DR.. Howley, archbishop of Canter-
bury, who died in 1S4S, upheld the dig
nifty of his position in the fashion
deemed necessary. One day he drove
up to the door of the house of lords in a
coach and four, with liveried coach
man and two footmen. A Quaker, who
knew him, addressed him: Friend
Howley, what would the Apostle Paul
have said if he had seen these four horses
and the purple liveres and all the rest ~
The archbishop, who was seldom tlus-
tered, replied with benignant smile:
"Doubtless the apostle would have re-
marked that things were very much
changed for the better since his time. =

THE RELIEF OF DAWSON.
Completing Arrangement for the
Joint Expedition.


The arrangement effected between Mr..
Si1ton IN behalf Of Canada and Assistant
Secretary Meiklejohn on behalf of the
United States contemplates that the Klon-
dixie relief expedition shall be executed
jointly by the United States army and a
force Of the mounted police of Canada.
which constitutes the military army of the
dominion. The United States force will
proceed with the relief stores to Skaguay,
where they will be Joined by the Canadian
mounted police, about forty In number, and
the two forces will then proceed together
to the points where the relief is to be dis
trtbuted. The determination as to Skaguay
Is, however, still OPEN. The Canadian Off
Gals concede much latitude to the Ameri-
can authorities in the actual distribution,
recognizing that the expedition is fitted
out on this side, although a considerable
part of its work will be done on the Cana
dian side of the border.
Secretary Alger has received two reports
from Capt. Robinson, the contract quarter
master at Seattle, touching the respective
merits of the different trails leading from
the seaboard into the Klondike country
He made thorough inquiry at the direc-
ton of the Secretary. In substance, his
conclusions, reached after conference with
Jack Dalton and other experts, is that the
Dalton trail Is not well adapted to the uses
of the government expedition during the
winter, but that the Skaguay route is
probaly the best. The captain says he has
had an interview with one man who claims
to have 10000 pounds Of beef stored at
Lake Bennett, which he is willing to sell
at q dollar a pound. The same man says
he has 10000 pounds Of corn and twenty
or thirty horses at the same place. with
which he proposes to organize a sled train
into Dawson. Capt. Robinson says that
his opinion is that the difficulty OF reaching
Dawson has been much exaggerated. and
that a good army officer could make his
way in with an expedition.

between the governments at Washington

which should be allowed to the Juntas,

be at an end In q short time. But none the
less does the Spanish government appre-
ciate the difficulties which any measure in
that direction would arouse In the United
States. At the same time this government
keeps pressing the case as one which II
considers Of vital Importance.

The sewerage of Rome has for many
centuries pest been the care of the rulers
OF Rome. and has been excellent Of its
kind. The famous Cloaca Maxima, con.
structed by Tarquin the Proud for the
drainage Of the lower land around the
forum and to provide for the discharge
Of the waters from the Quirinal. viminal

city. is celebrated throughout the world.
Though its constru ction dates back twen-
ty-six centuries ago. 1t was 80 solidly

and Is in use today. New and more en-,
tensive sewers are being built. and when
they are completed we are told that they

for example. There Is just q little too
much self-laudation in all this There
were strong men before Agamemnon we
are assured, and the sewerage OF Rome
was not wholly neglected in the last, nor,

Sides the great work IL not by any means

WOMAN AT THE MOTOR.
New Occupation Which the Fair Sex
is Entering.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Middletown, N. Y, says Mrs Mabel
Briefly of Matamoras. Pa, has applied to
Superintendent Urban Of the Middletown
Goshen Traction Company for a position
as substitute motorman or rather motor
woman on an electric car.
The superintendent looked her over and
made up his mind that she would do. She
is big and brawny. Mrs. Briefly wore
short brown skirt, with leggins to match.
She says she is one of two women in the
United States who have had experience in
running electric cars.
She also told Superintendent Urban that
she had applied for and hoped to get O
permanent situation on the Port Jarvis
road when 1t is opened for business. Her
visit to Middletown was for the purpose
of getting work as substitute, in order
that she might gain practice. She made
several trips over the line with a regular
motorman and will operate car tomorrow

ARBITRATION TREATY REJECTED,
The Senate of the United States on June
by vote Of 43 yeas to % nays refused
to ratify what is known as the arbitration
treaty with England. AS the rules of the
Senate require majority Of two-thirds for
the ratification Of treaties it appears that
four more votes In the affirmative would
have secured a favorable result. Nineteen
senators were paired. A long and acri-
monious debate on the question was in
dulged in. AS rule the support of the
treaty came from senators from the north
