and build houses upon the lands near
the cannery. Lumber was taken along
for the purpose. This move is made
to hold the townsite The place had
been surveyed in January and plan
was submitted at that time to the sur
veyor general. There was also filed
notice that a grant from the United
States was wanted for railroad ter
minal trading post and factory and for
right of way for a railway over the
Dalton trial.
The transactions were all accom-
plisned in the name of H. BratnOber,
who is know to be the mining expert
and mineral purchasing agent of the
Rothchilds, and who, few weeks ago,
left for London to consult with the
Rothchilds and to arrange with the
Canadian government for the privi-
| lege of crossing it's territory.
Mr.. Onderdonk reports that the
grades are several per cent less on the
Dalton trail than on the Canadian Pa
cific and that the climatic difficulties
are no more difficult to overcome
1t is said here by those who accom-
panied Bartnober on his expedition to
the interior that he thinks that in sew
eral places where excavations for rail
roads are necessary enough low grade
ore will be loosened to finance many
miles of construction.

Bound to Have Correspondence.

WASHINGTON. March 7.-Senatol
Morgan said it was his purpose to in
troduce a resolution at an early date
making a second call upon the pres
ident for the consular correspond
ence bearing upon the condition of
affairs in Cuba.
Il think" he said, that the senate
and the country are entitled to know
officially what the condition there
is and that the reports of the con-
suls should not be withheld for an
unusual length of time. 1 do not,
however, wish to complicate this
matter with the Maine disaster and
shall not introduce the resolution
while the court of inquiry is sitting
unless it's report is unnecessarily de-
layed. I have set no tine for the
presentation of the matter, but will
be guided as to the time by circum-
stances as they arise

CONGRESS THIS WEEK
RELIEF BILL LIKELY TO BE
PASSED.
House VIII Take Up and Push the Senate
Measure-ArtiIlery Bill Will be Con.
sidered-Opposition to the PROPOSED
Increase Disappears and Favorable Ac
tion Is Expected.
National Legislation.


WASHINGTON, March Tt is
probable that both the bill for the re-
lief of the survivors of the victims OF
the Maine disaster and the senate
bill creating two additional regiments
of artillery with which to man the
coast defenses will pass the house this
week The former bill was held up
until it could be investigated, as it was
said that the special bill for the re-
lief of the survivors and the victims OF
the Samoan wreck in 1883 led to some
scandal. That bill was loosely drawn
and it has been asserted some advan-
tage of it's provisions were taken. The
present bill has been carefully drawn
and is now satisfactory to Mr.. Can
non, chairman of the committee of ap-
preparations.
Practically all opposition to the ar
tillery bill has now disappeared in the
house. The leaders were, it is said, in
favor of delaying action on it to allay
public alarm. which might have been
intensified had it been rushed through
the house as it was through the senate.
Beyond action on these two meas
ures the house program this week, SO
far as is now anticipated, is entirely
peaceful and has no reference to pos
sible foreign complications. Tomor-
row is District of Columbia day, and
Friday, by special order, has been set
aside for the consideration of the Bow
man act claim bills.
The Thorp-Epps contested election
case will occupy two, possibly three
days, and such time as remains will
probably consumed in the considera-
ton of the pOstoffice appropriation bill
which is expected to be ready by We'd
nesday.
An unlocked for developement in
the Spanish situation might change
the program.
The senate will in all probability be-
gin the week with the consideration
of the bill making appropriations fol
the District of Columbia, and when
this is completed will take up the con-
ference report on the legislative, exc
cutive and judicial appropriation bill
which has been agreed upon ar
be made to the senate tomorrow.
1t is considered quite probable that
the district bill will consume two OF
three days or even more. One OF
more of the questions in this bill which
| may arouse debate in the action of the
senate committee on appropriations
in striking out the item in the bill as
it came from the house limiting tele.
phone charges in the district. There
| will be an effort to restore this pro-
vision. The census bill the Methodist
book agent bill and Senator Petit
| crews bill donating per cent. of the
| proceeds of the sales of public lands
| to the various states in which ths
| lands are located will contend fol
right of way when there are no appro
| priation bills to receive attention. anG
| it is as yet uncertain which of then
| first will he taken I'D.
All of these may be antagonized by
the annexation treaty, but the plans o1
the foreign relations committee with
reference to the treaty are so far tt
too indefinite to hermit any prediction
as to what it will do.

Human PacK Carriers.

In an article on Difficulties of
TRANSPORTATION in the Tropics" in the
Engineering Magazine, C. P. Yeatman
tells some remarkable stories of the
strength and endurance of pack car
riers in Columbia. There are pro-
fessional pack carriers on some roads
who make a specially of carrying bur
dens which the sturdy and much en-
during mule cannot stagger under. On
some of the roads you will see at
times what appears to be a live box
staggering slowly and painfully down
the mountain side ahead OF you; as
you draw nearer you may hear the
box grunt, very much as an old pack
mule does at each downward step on
a steep road. There is something un-
canny about the whole proceeding. II

Consul Favored Foreign Roads.

WASHINGTON, March Sen
ator Wilson of Washington called the
attention of the senate department to
a recent report of Consul Dudley at
Vancouver, B. c., in which Canadian
ports and Canadian routes to the
Klondike were extolled at some length.
He said this had been used by the
Canadian Pacific road as an adver-
tisement and was to the detrlment OF
American roads and American sea-
ports on the coast. which were doing
a large outftting business. The state
department has notified Consul Dud-
ley that hereafter his reports must not
favor foreign interests in competition
with those of the United States.

MADRID, March THE Epoca, the
sobersided conservative paper says:
eve believe that lust in the same
manner as the Washington government
acted in the case of Senor de Lone,
which was case much less grave, so
should Senior Guilon decide the case
of General Lee. The relations of that
official with the insurrection in the
island are such that his maintenance
at Havana is prejudicial to the good
