Secretary Alxer Sends to Norway for
Reindeer.

Washington. Dec. 2l.-Secretary Al
ger has cabled to William Akelmann.
chief government reindeer herder, who is
now in Alien. Norway. to inform the
war department Immediately how soon
600 reindeer can be shipped to this eoun-
try.
These are wanted for use as draft ami
mails in getting supplies to the miners
in the Klondike region. 1t is expected
they must be transferred at New York
to railroads, and in that manner carried
across the continent and again by sea
from the Pacific coast up to Dyea or some
other point that may be selected as the
base of operations.
Secretary Alger has determined. after
advising with the medical officers of the
war department and persons who have
had much experience in arctic regions, to
make large use of condensed food prep
arations; not only will meats be in the
most concentrated form, but particular
efforts are being made to secure condens-
ed preparations of vegetables, such as po-
tatoes and onions.
The state department has already ask
the Canadian government permission to
pass their stores through Canadian terri
tory free of duty.

SENATOR CHANDLER PREDICTS


Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Chand
Ter of New Hampshire has written let
ter to the Washington Post, in which he
says:
''If the Secretary Of the treasury and
his gold standard associates will cease
their demand for impossible currency leg
islation, congress will pass the necessary
appropriation bills, probably take care of
Hawaii and Cuba, there will not be re-
rious party division during the session,
and there will be an adjournment.
"lf Secretary Gage continues to press
upon congress bill the object of which
he says is first to commit the country
more thoroughly to the gold standard and
the immediate result of which is to throw
doubts upon the sincerity of the prcsi-
dents declarations in favor of continued
efforts to secure bimetallism, a political
turmoil will arise in congress which will
split the now united republican party into
fragments, while it will unite and consoli-
date the now homogeneous opposition. 1t
is not feasible to retire the greenbacks,
and there is more probability that bill
will be sent to the president to increase
their amount.
ut is not possible to secure the passage
through either house Of bill making the
greenbacks into gold notes or authorizing
bonds payable in gold. The effort to do
either thing will probably result in the
passage of bill for the redemption of the
greenbacks in silver dollars and for the
payment Of all United States bonds in
gold or silver coin, in the discretion Of the
president, who will be commanded to ex.
ercise his option for the advantage of the
government, and not for the advanta &c
of the creditors"

vile Hayden are now confined in the

ONE DOLLAR PER POUND
FOR PROVISIONS AT DAWSON.
All Kinds Of Supplies mt Dawson
Commands the Same Figure-The
Food to he Had Only From Re-
cent Arrivals.

Seattle, Dec. ia letter to the Asso-
ciated Press from Skaguay, Alaska, dated
December II, gives the following adition-
al news brought from Dawson by Joe
kastner and George McIAchlan of Hell
ena, Mont, who left Dawson November 3.
When they left Dawson they were &C
companied by Pat Holland of Butte,
Mont, and William King of Los Angeles,
Cal. Each man had sled and AN outfit
of about lao pounds, which included pro-
visions and blankets. After travelling lao
miles up the river Kastner and McLach
Ian abandoned their sleds, and with 100
pounds each on their backs continued
their journey, leaving Holland and King
behind, they having determined to stick
to their sleds. George Ruth of Flathead,
Mont, was overtaken at Fort Pelly, with
his feet badly frozen. but he was being
cared for.
Major Walsh will have to remain in his
present quarters until the river is frozen
sufficiently to permit him to continue his
journey. Although the river was open
oil the way up, kastner believes that it
would soon be frozen solid, as the river
was full of anchor ice.
Between Fort Pelly and Dawson Kast-
ner saw six boats, each containing five
men, floating down the river with the ice.
Their position was dangerous in the ex-
treme and it was impossible to render
them any assistance.
Provisions at Dawson were to be had
only from the recent arrivals, who had
some to spare. The prevailing price was
81 per pound for everything purchasable,
from sack of flour to pick or frying
pan.
"Will there be starvation in Dawson
this winter1" Mr.. Kastner was asked.
"That is hard question" he said. III
the people are put upon nations there will
in my opinion be enough food to tide over
the winter or until supplies can arrive
and there will be no actual suffering from
want of food"
Mr.. Kastner went into the Klondike
country to examine the old diggings, with
view to reworking them. He found
that the drifts filed with water and were
soon transformed into solid beds of ice
making reworking at present impractic.
able, but he states that fully one third
Of the gold is lost by the method now EN-
ployed in mining in the Klondike district
He estimates that the amount Of gold
that will be taken out of the district this
winter will be between 81 1000, 600 and So,
OOO, 900. Ten millions could easily be tax.
en- out but for the scarcity Of light Can
dies and coal oil are extremely scarce, and
some miners are trying to work theil
claims in complete darkness.

RECOGNIZED AS A CHURCH.
Christian Science Treatment OF D1s-
ease q violation Of Law.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. T.-As result
of the recent decision OF Presiding Judge
Pennypacker of the court of common
pleas, refusing to grant charter to the
First Church of Christ of Christian Scien-
lists, a bill is to be introduced into the
next session of the legislature, amending
the laws relating to schools of medicine
so as to admit of the recognition of the
Christian Scientists as portion OF the
healing fraternity, although as a distinct
sect or society, very much as the homeo-
pathists or eclectics are recognized as dis
tinct from the allopaths.
The decision of Judge Pennypacker,
which is likely to be used as text book
by the schools of science opposed to
Christian Science, in the conflicts that
sooner or later are bound to occur in nu-
merous states, was not arrived at until ne
had digested a mass of testimony taken
before master in chancery. During these
hearings many witnesses testified that
under no circumstances would they allow
a doctor to attend any member OF their
family, and that even in the case of tri-
chinosis, which is caused by animalculae
breeding in the body and feeding in the
muscles, they would depend upon faith
rather than upon external means OF kill
ing such animalculae or rendering them
harmless.
In his decision Judge Pennypacker
takes the ground that Christian Science
is a church rather than a school OF medi-
cine, notwithstanding Mrs. Eddys declar-
alton that the treatment extends to the
most serious and fatal diseases, and hence
he holds that the treatment of disease by
"healers" of the church for fees and COM
pensat ton is in direct violation of the law
regulating the practice of medicine.

London, Dec. 81. - The correspondent
Of the Times at Pckin says:
China approves of the Russian feet
wintering at Port Arthur, being persuad-
ed that this action is taken in the interest
Of China and necessitated by the German
occupation of kiao Chau. A dispatch
to the Times from Shanghai says that the
occupation of Port Arthur by Russia can
not help but provoke popular Indignation
in Japan, where public opinion is already
excited over the Kiao Chau affair.
According to the dispatch to the Daily

The dispatch says it is reported there
that overtures have been made to Eng

the activity OF the British squadron in
Chinese waters.
The Times, commenting editorially this
morning on the situation in China, says

Europe Takes . Similar View.
London, Dec. 2l.-Telegrams from all
the continental capitals show that Rus
sis's step at Port Arthur is regarded as
tantamount to a permanent occupation

A well informed St Petersburg CORE

the latter simply warned Russia when the

FROM MONTANA TO TEXAS.
The Startling Irrigation PROPOSE
tiOn OF Governor Leedy.

Topeka, Kan, Dec Ex-Governor Lee
dy announces that he will present a
scheme to the Nebraska Irrigation con-
vention, which, if carried out, will cause
the arid plains to blossom as the rose.
A l,7OO-mile canal from Montana to Tex
as is the startling proposition to be FORM
ally made by Governor Leedy to the com.
ing irrigation congress. The purpose of
the canal would be to divert the flood of
waters of the Missouri and Mississippi
valleys, impound them and let them
down when wanted. The canal would
tap the Mississippi river at Milk river in
Montana and empty into Red river in
Texas.
The governor mentions, incidentally
that the cost would only be $500, 900 900.
