4 HOME RULE
 CHARTER ONLY
Dr. J. H. Stallard Gives His Views on Organic
 Law Making.
No One Man Power, No Civil Serivce System, but Constructive Non
 Administrative Document

Dr. J. H. Stallard lectured in the Me chanics' Institute last night on Home Rule Charter He prefaced his remarks by giving his experience of twenty-five years Tn London, where he had been con- nected win the great problem of muni- cipal government. The English system of conducting city affairs was entrusted with that of the American as he found it. Statistics from the various leading went to show that we are far behind our English cousins in the manner of running large municipalities. Figures from the Auditors reports of this city were quoted to show the woeful extrav- aganCe of our system.
 In 1889 and 1890 the total in salaries alone was $2.274 ,293 This was increased during the seven following years, until in 1896 and 1897 1t had grown to $3, .S9l-a difference of $S99. .09S, or at the rate of SIPS A a year. The various Commission CTS departments were shown up to be nothing but places especially created for political time-serverS who owe their al legiance to the political bosses. The greatest of all of the many evils was pointed out to be the License Office, where the salaries had increased from $2S 729 in 1889 and 1890 to S40,721 in 1896 and 1897, without any perceptible increase in the revenues: yet there was Sll,992 eX- pended for salaries alone. Other offices were cited also to show the rottenness of our present system of city government.
 He advocated the idea that a charter for the people should be framed and adopted upon the principle of a railroad board of directors.

BOOth-Tucker Talks of the Salvation Colony at

Returning to New York He Is Enthusiastic Over the
 Project.
Unstinted in His Praise for the Many Findnesses of Landlord
 c. F. ROnaie.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-COmmander Booth-Tucker has just returned from a visit to his newly founded colony at SoIedad, Cal, of which he speaks en- Enthusiastically. It is a poor mans par adise, he declares.
 ITO Northern and Eastern people, !" he said to-day, "the idea of opening our homestead colony on January might not have seemed wise, but out there 1t appeared quite a natural thing. The people of the valley declare that the clouds have been held up by the pray CTS of Salvationists till they could get the roofs on thirty neat cottages that dot their 500-acre tract of land. And, curiously enough, just as we took the train to leave, the clouds spread them selves over the valley. MT. C. F. Ro- mic is a fine type of the hospltable Californian, and he has placed at our disposal what is generally admitted to be one of the choicest spots in the val ley. Innumerable have been the kind nesses of our sympathetic landlord. More than 2000 trees for ornament and shade await transplanting. An irri- gatiOn plant is to be purchased for our use and paid for in easy installments. The land itself is sold at a reduced price and in time payments.
 And the colonists, what sort of peo- pie are they?"
 Well, they were the pick of 400 fam flies numbering 2000 persons, who had applied, mostly living in San Francis co. Ninety per cent of the applicants had had more or less experience, hav- ing drifted to the city, and being anx- ious for an opportunity of getting back into the country. All of the selected families were able bodied agricultu- rists. For three months past they had been attending weekly cClonist meet ings, at which Professors Hilgard and Jaffa and a Salvationist graduate of the Agricultural College had been giv- ing lectures on a variety of farming ! subjects !"

PROPOSED ANNEXATION
 OF JAMAICA TO CANADA.

MONTREAL, Quebec. Jan. 15.-W. R Chapman. a well-known capitalist of Ja- maica, in an interview to-day, stated that the party in favor of the annexa- tion of the island to Canada has grown to great strength and that definite mease ures are on foot to secure the union. It is the intention to unite all the British possessions in the Western Hemisphere into one dominion, and Chapman says definite encouragement has been offered bv the British Government.
 While this may be to the advantage or the empire, Canadian politicians are pro- testing vigorously against being har- messed with such incompatible interests. The differences. they say, between prov inces now in the confederation are sui ficientIy rampant to justify opposition. Some years ago a delegation from Ja- maica preached the subject of union to the Canadian Parliament, but the pro feet was overwhelmingly defeated. The present party intends to appeal to the British Government and is sanguine of success. The leaders here claim that If the scheme goes through all the strength will be taken from the confederation and state that Canada will resist it by all possible means.

No Movement Yet to Stop the Proposed Govern

Uncle Sam Wants Official Ad- vices as to the Condition

Canadian Officials Say They Will Keep Food Trains Moving Until
 Spring Opens.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: The Government relief expedition will be sent to the Yukon region unless of ficial advices direct from Dawson should be received announcing that the miners are amply supplied with food"
 This statement was made to me to- night by Acting Secretary Mieklejohn. MT Mieklejohn states that there is no truth in the report that the Govern ment will postpone the date of the de- parture of the expedition.
 We have only hearsay information from Dawson City in regard to the sit uation,' he said. Major Fucker of the Fourth Cavalry telegraphed yes terday that miners coming from Daw son City had reported that there was ample food there, and this information is in line with the statements these miners have made upon their arrival at cities on the Pacific Coast"
 MT. Mieklejohn is making an earnest effort to get an official statement in re- gard to the condition of miners in the Yukon region. He telegraphed to- day to the Canadian authorities ask ing them If they had any official in- formation, receiving this reply from Minister Sefton tonight:
 My reports indicate no immediate danger of starvation at Dawson, but there is a great necessity for provi- sions being distributed between Port Selkirk and Skaguay at various posts. l believe the ice has formed all the way through now. Our provisions are being pushed down by horses and dogs. l intend to keep supplies moving unti the water opens in the spring, to avoid any possibility of disaster"
 Another of the old New York pilot boats has found a new career and it lies in an expedition to the Klondike. Her name is the Actala, of ninety-two tons, which has just been purchased by c. C. Mccarthy, recently first officer of the steamer Starbuck of San Fran cisco, who is fitting her out for voy- age to the Klondike around the Horn. She will be commanded by her owner. and will have crew of six men. Ten passengers are also to be taken along, among whom are three women. Cap tain Mccarthy expects to sail about January 20. The Actala was originally built for a pleasure craft, and was first owned by W. F. Weld of Boston, in whose possession she remained for some years before she became pilot boat of the Sandy Hook fleet.
