goldhelds by gold hunters and tourists.
There are also four more passenger coaches
being made ready for the spring rush.
At Skaguay there are now being con
structed extensive machine shops, which
will be equipped with modern types Of
machine tools. In fact, the equipment
will be of such nature as to make IL pos

The present terminal of the road, Sum
NIT, is by no means the end of the freight
route, for where the calls end their task
the packers take it up again. And in fact
freight is now billed direct through from
SkagNay to Dawson City. The rate from
Skaguay to Bennett is about l2 cents per
pound, and about ~ c,nts from Skaguay
to Dawson City. Packages must be con
fined to weights not exc seding 1876 pounds
and he in such forms as to be loaded upon
pack animals.
The scenery along the route of this
farthest north railroad Is said to be tho
grGndeSt on earth, and the company an.
ticipates that the many hundreds of tour
lists who annually maHe,the boat trip to
some seaport in Alaska will hereafter ex-

encounters heavy rock wOrE at a point

At this second loop the line aeaves the

An Irish Baker IL COON Pnurs" Right

loom Paul" the president Of the
Transvaal, Is probably one of the most
unique chief executives OF whom any civil
lized nation can boast. Perhaps the most
striking evidence Of his singular character
Is the man who acts in the capacity of his
confidential adviser. This man is Peter
Gillingham. Peter is no more a Boer than
a potato is cabbage. He was born In
Cape Town Of Irish parents, and, although
he has adopted Dutch customs and can
speak the language of the Transvaal with
out n trace Of brogue, he has the quick
Celtic wit and the ready tongue which are
the heritage OF all Irishmen
Peter Gillingham, who is virtually the
political boss of the Transvaal and the
power behind the presidential chair, Is by
trade baker. The only office he holds is
that of justice Of the peace. Yet when
matters Of moment in connection with the
affairs of the great Dutch republic are tc
be settled IL Is to the Irish baker that
Kruger listens with the most attention
not that he acts on all Of Gillingham's ad
vice, for "Oom Paul" Is rs stubborn al
the best of the Beers, but there are few
men TO whom he will listen at all,

some of his Countrymen and offered to
raise "A regiment to fight for It against the
British Furthermore, no communicated
with Irishmcn in America and proposed
that they arm and equip forces to send
down to aid the Beers.
Kruger, who is just &c generous as he is

NOW WE WILL MOTOR
HoRseLess VEHICLES OF AMERICAN
MAKE HAVE CONE AT LAST.

French Automobiles Were TOO Clum-
Something Like FIFTY Electric
Broushams For New York.
Americans have been rather slow to
adopt motor carriages, but at last various
kinds Of horsolcss vehicles arc coming In
to use In most of our larger cities the
sight of horseless hanson or cab rolling
along through the streets is no longer
much Of curiosity.
There are several reasons for our seem
ing lack of progressivoness. We have al
lowed Paris and Berlin and London TO
take tho lead In the matter Of motor car
riages becs use we have declined to accept
the clumsy work turned out by European
shops. American carriages have been noted
the world over for their lightness, strength
and graceful finish. The contrast between
the horseless vehicles which were at first
imported and our own carriages was so
great that Americans looked upon the
heavy, ponderous affairs as wholly imprao.
teal One might ns well think of taking
q jaunt In a steam road roller.
Then the American inventors went 10
work and within the last year or two have
turned out some motor carriages which
look more like road vehicles and less like
locomotives. They are lighter, more grace
full and apparently quite practical As @
result, our early prejudice against motor
| carriages has been swept away and there
| is a big demand for the domestic product
In most of the European horseless vehi
cles the motor power Is supplied by ben
zine or naphtha engines. American man
ufaoturers apply electricity, which has
several advantages. In the first place, Il
does away with the unpleasant odor o
burning gas and in this country 1t can bt

It will not be many months before New
York will have as great a number of motol
vehicles moving about its streets rs hai

complete 80 electric broughams for public
SERVICE and they will soon be employed II
the fashionable district. The company ha
decided to fix the rate Of hire at 30 cents I

each carriage taximeter, so that tho pas
senRer may know exactly what the charg

POPE LEO's POLICY.
SAYS His Children Should Bow to
- Their Governments.

Rome, Dec. 31.-Leo XIII. has just
issued sort of expose OF his policy
with regard to France, in response
the assertions which have been made
to the effect that he preferred the sys-
tenn of republican government to mon
archy, and inasmuch as several of the
papal utterances therein contained
concern not France alone, but all for
eign countries, including the United
States, they merit publication in the
American press.
In the first place the holy father
distinctly disclaims preference for re-
publicanism over royalism. He de-
clanes that the one form of govern
ment is as good as the other in the
eyes of the church, that Catholics are
at liberty to profess what political
opinions they like. provided they do
not ally themselves to platform
that comprises war upon the church
and Christianity as it's principal
plank Moreover, the pope expressly
denies ever having sought to influence
in any way the political convictions of
the faithful, and unhesitatingly con-
dennis those prelat9s and and priests,
not alone in France, but also in other
