Party.

Winnipeg, Man, March 9.-The ROYAL
Canadian dragons here have been or
dere TO prepare to move to the Yukon.
They will form part of military expe.
dition, which the federal government is
sending TO that part Of the dominion. The
expedition win be 200 strong.
Hardly n Military Expedition.
Ottawa, Ont, March a.-The report that
the dominion government intends sending
a military expedition to the Yukon is not
altogether accurate. What the govern
ment is contemplating is to send out men
and officers of the permanent corps to the
klondikc in future instead Of taking away
more of the mounted police. which would
necessitate engaging new policemen. In
this way saving can be effected and the
permanent corps have a little experience
at roughing it in the west instead Of lying
in idleness in the garrisoned cities
