in t'apti,ity.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27,-Secretary
Alger has received word that Hon.
Clifford Sifton, Canadian minister of
the interior, and ]. A. McKenna of
the same department., by invitation of
Alger, will arrive here tonight TO con-
fer with the. secretary relative to the
pending Klondike relief measures.
The secretary originally Intended to
go to Ottowa, but has been deferred
by the grip which keeps him closely
confined at his home.
Alger hopes with q personal confer
ence with the Canadian officials to
arrange for permit from the Canad-
ian government for ti.ty Ufited States
army men to serve as guards for an ex-
pedition t. pass throus h Canadian ter
ritory.
Another object of the conference is
to adjust some customs subjects. in
volyed in the expedition. such, for in
stance, as remission of duties on the
food supplies that are to be sent in.
Another object is to secure the CO.
operation of the Canadian mounted
police, which il is not doubted will be
cheerfully extended and will be of
great value, through their familiarity
with the country through which the
expedition must pass.
A cablegram was received today by
the secretary from Kjallman, the gov
ernment reindeer-herder. now in
Alien, Norway, stating that be is busy

transportation OF supplies to the Klon-
dixie.

ton. She continued to talk against the
overwhelming odds until her voice gave
way under the strain and she fell eX-
hausted in the seat.
Here is the way she began her eX.
perience recital:
81 praise de Lawd dat he has lowed
me to lib to see dis day. De great AL
mighty is er merciful God. He is a
just Lawd, an will not stand round an
see eny oh his poor creeters suffer
wrong. De Lawd has been berry helpful
TO me. He has fed me when 1 wuz
hungry, an have been naked an be
clothed me. He hab put money in my
purse" Just then Brother Jackson
appeared with his bride and the sister
changed the key of her discourse.
"Oh, Lawd. 7 thank thee that thou
has been SO good to me. thank thee,
oh, Lawd, that thou hast 'nabled me to
feed Brother Jackson, who done got
married to another in violation of his
promise to marry me. thank thee
that thou hast 'nabled me to give him
six shirts and has helped me to raise
de eight dollars for him to buy n pair of
new shoes. Oh, Lawd. 1 thank thee
that he hab libed n my house whole
year without payin' board. 1 thank
thee, oh, Lawd, that / raised, by thy

sible, Lawd, pray thee to save Brother
Jackson, for berrily, say unto him,
'ye know not what we do"
Naturally the congregation was con-
vulsed, and Rev. Mr.. Parish, after in
effectual efforts to quiet his sister, thus
addressed the congregations:

guided sister to go on. Sing the long.
meter doxology and keep singing it un-
til she takes her seat."-Louisyille

How Partition of China Might Cause Fu-
ture Complications.

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-According to
Washington correspondent of the
Herald, Senator Morgan, of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, said to-
night that it would oe impossible for
the United States to remain compla-
cent should European nations under
take the dismemberment of China.
Senator Morgan Said:
IF partition of China involves the
abrogation of treaties. this country
would be left to make terms with each,
European nation separately in The ter
ritory to which its sovereignty extern
ded; therefore, unless the powers now
ambitious for territorial extens sion.
take into account the character of our
commercial relations, it will be nee.
essary for the government to inter-
vene in self-defense.
:'If the cession is absolute, then
American interests must be taken care
of through the treaties of America and
the countries to which the absolute
cessions are made respectively. If the
territory is given up merely for time,
there will be a mixed responsibility,
and it is good time for intervention
and the exercise OF American diplo-
macy.
1.-THE German occupation of part of
China and the prospective occupation
of other parts by various European ma
tions is an effort to complete Gordon
of offense to American commerce from
Vladivostock to Marseilies or to Liver
pool. That Gordon is being stretched
to contract the trade of 900, 900, 600 peo-
Pile who have direct trade and inter-
course with the Pacific ocean.

nese problem that vitality interests

LAND eARoNs OUT WEST.

Landlords Who Are Reckless, Free
Handed and Good Livers.
The divine injunction ''in the sweat

civilized tribes. Here are people
who, like the lilies of the fields, is'toil
not; neither do they spin," furnishing
IN example of class favoritism under
The law peculiar and interesting to
study, says Harper's. The landlords
have no care but the gathering of
rents and general supervision of the
home place. They are, as class,
free-handed, reckless, good livers and
with strong tendency to dissipation.
Most of them live up to their incomes
and few acquire large bank accounts.
Your typical landlords home is the
rambling white-plantationg great house
of ante-bellum days, with wide gal
leries, big chimneys and usually. in a
bad state of repair An air of untidi-
ness and neglect pervades the yard, to
which is added lack of taste inside

thing about the surroundings-the or

poultry-which denotes solid old-fash.s

And what of the Indian, the full

government of ours has in its wisdom
regarded as ward and heir to a
princely heritage as recompense for
Anglo-Saxou rapine? You will find
him where the stiffness of the forest Is
as yet unbroken. He is there in his
miserable little hut, recluse from the

istence, and rarely emerging to visit

great while there is a per capita pay

after the professional redmen of the
tribe have made the disbursement to
their satisfaction and paid their '-nt-

a full-blood in the Indian territory who,
is living comfortably on as much as

tion. There are some, but they are
striking exceptions.

Identified by Their Brands.

On the big. unfenced ranges of the
west cattle from one herd frequently
stray away and join a herd be-
longing To another ranchman, and
for mutual convenience and protection
the cattlemen in the various states have
associations which keep agents Mt the
principal cattle markets to watch for
such strays and see that the result of
their sale is credited to their proper
owner, no matter in what shipment
they reach the market. During last
year 1904 head of stray cattle belonging
to ranchmen in the Black hills coun-

head in Omaha, and through the asso-
citation their owners received the money
from their sale. The cattle are identi-

Bulldog Douglas is character in
the suburbs of this city, says the Wash

much as his occupation one wants to
speak. The latter is peculiar and alto
gether suggestion of Bulldog Doug
las. Be it known that Bulldog Doug
las is the proprietor of a multitude OF
bulldogs, all of whom he dearly loves.
Just as miser might love and hoard
money, Just so does Douglas go on
through life amassing and boarding
bulldogs. He can't, to his notion,
have too many of these bellicose chat
tells. At last it would appear as if he
had found use for them. The idea
had suggestion to him because of the
expense of maintaining his canine
standing army. He must find some=
thing for them to do. The other day q
gentleman met Bulldog Douglas tow

''Just hired out another dog" re-
marked Douglas, delightedly, pausing
and looking fondly on his vicious pet.

the gentleman.
Bulldog Douglas then advanced an
explanation. Many of the residents of
Washington leave town for the summer.

During the summer season he puts out

this fashion. Bulldog Douglas makes

town. He arrived on the Northern
Pacific train from Seattle yesterday
event ~.
Dalton is here on bis way to Van
couver barracks to see General Mer-
riam. The general is Investigating
the methods of relieving the Klondik-
ers, and has charge of the work for the
war department. Dalton will give him
all the information which he possesses
about the trails and methods of taking
relief to Dawson. He is not talka-
tive man, and he refused to discuss his
| plans to any great extent.
"I shall see General Merriam and
explain to him the conditions as well
as can," said he. 81 am not seeking
the job of leading the relief expedition
to the Klondike. 1 have other busi-
ness which is of more Importance to
me, and there are men who can lead
the expedition as well asI.
"My plan would be to use pack horses
all the way to Dawson from Skagway.
That is the best plan that L know of.
1t is better than using dogs and better
than having men haul the sleds. Of
course, horses require feed, and that
would have to be carried in along with
the provisions.
SIT would take about As days, possi-
bly, longer, to make the trip. should
think that an expedition leaving Skag-
way during the first two weeks of jan
uary would arrive by March. OF course
you cannot figure closely in such mat
ters, but that is about the time that l
estimate. All these other schemes of
taking in food seem to me to be ridicu-
lous."
'Is theer really any need of a relief
expedition" was asked.
'sWell, those people have got very
little 10 eat, and if they don't get re-
lief they will suffer. The persons who
said that there is enough provisions
don't know what they are talking

Sister Caroline Got Even with the MAN
Who Had Desptsed HerNL Love.
There was a scene and a sensation
at the Calvary Baptist church (colored)
ON recent Sunday. A covenant" or
experience meeting was in progress,
and Sister Caroline, of some so sum-
mers, had the floor. She began in the
usual orthodox form of telling her ex-
perience, but shifted to a recital of
her personal grievance against Brother
Jackson, whose arrival with his bride
upon his arm had turned the course of
her remarks. The way she roasted him
was highly entertaining, if not edify-
ing. Rev. Mr.. Parish attempted to call
her down, but she insisted upon having
her say out. Unable to control her, he
sought to overcome her harangue with
a song, and SO gave out hymn. For
awhile the sisters voice could be heard
above the united tones of the congrega-
