London, Feb. 21-Great activity is
manifested by the colonial office, the
West African department, and among
the high military officers who are go
ing out TO the Lagos IIirteriand. The
latter are inclined 10 discrsdit the
news which reached Aksssa Niger coast
protectorate yesterday, to the effect
that two French expeditions are ad-
vancing towards Sokoto. capital of the
SultanaIe OF that name, which IS
within the British sphere of influence,
but adds that if the news should be
confirmed it must be followed by dec
laration Of war.
ONE INTERPRETATION.
The st. James Gazette, commenting
on the subject. says:
IF the invasion of SOkOto is directed
from Paris. it admits but Of one in
depreciation, and the seriousness of the
situation is increasing when IL is re-
membered that these invasiOns of Brit
ish territory must have been planned
weeks ago. before the present ferment
in Paris over Dreyfus. 1t would APP
pear that the French cabinet. foresee-
ing the revolutions which should be
caused by the trial of NJ. lola. had de-
termined to bring affairs in Africa to
a crisis to secure a renewal of its pop
ularity."

MES. said he received yesterday a dis
patch from Lieutenant Pitcher. COM

ish influence.
Mr. Chamberlain added: 81 cannot
believe that, pending the negotiations,
the French government can have au-
thoriZed the Invasion of territory over
which our rights have been recognized
by the convention between Great Brit
ain ard France
All the morning papers comment edi-
tCrially upon the gravity of the confir-
nation given by Mr.. Chamberlain and
the Earl of Selborn to the first reports
from ASassa. The Paris denials are
regarded as an official disavowal of the
advance Of the FRI en- expedition
Official and diplomatic circles in Paris
are quite calm and composed, and it is
inferred, therefore, that the expedition

rigation Committee.

Washington. Feb. PA delegation
appointed at the Lincoln, Neb., irriga-
ton convention last autumn, had a
hearing today before the house COM
nittee on irrigation of arid lands. The
party included State Engineer L. J..
Mills OF Boise City, Ida: Z. S. Nettle-

ing irrigation projects therefor, and the
suspension for six months of the oper-
atoms of the Carey act. so as to allow
states to perfect their surveys and per-
form the conditions required by the
act. Meanwhile no entry on these lands
is to be permitted, and in the event of
a failure of the states to comply within
that period, the lands are to revert to

Interesting Stories Told BY the Last
Arrivals

Victoria, B. G, Feb. 21-Three
steamers. the Danube, the Thistle and
Tees, returned today from Skaguay,
each with a few Dawsonites on board.
There was very little gold on board.
and no late news.
Passengers from Skaguay bring news
OF a blockade of the Dyea trail by
miners and packers, who resisted the
demand Of a detachment of United
States troops to go over the trail be-
lore them. 1t was feared at Dyea that
trouble would arise over the affair.
Another shooting affair occurred at
SkagGay, in front of a saloon. Tom
Ryan shot and wounded a newcomer,
whose name was not given. Ryan was
promptly arrested and taken to Sitka
for trial.
Nike Quinlan, formerly of MinneapO-
lis, Mimi, has been appointed marshal
OF Skaguay. A Jail is being provided.
Two men, whose names are not
known, We're detected robbing a cache
at Sheep Camp, and one of them, while
trying to escape, turned and fired at his
pursuers, who returned his fire and
dropped to the ground. Thinking that
he had killed them, the fugitive turned
the revolver on himself, and sent a. bull
let through his brain. The other man
was taken back to Dyea, where he was
paraded through the streets, with a
placard on him setting forth that he
was a thief. He was afterwards lodged
in Jail.
Complaints are being made at Skag-
uay in relation to the number of men
arriving there by each boat without
means of subsistence.
Among the returning Dawsonites was
George Beldon, one of the last men to
go up the Yukon last fall. He was one
of a syndicate which purchased the
little steamer from the Creek mission
for $4,000 and made an attempt to
reach Dawson, but got it only to Circle
City, where the boat stuck in the ice.
BeldOn made his way by sledge to Daw-
son and thence to the coast.
The delay in the receipt of mail at
Dawson is, according to the passengers
on the Danube, the cause of many
coming out to the coast. They say no
mail has been received since fall and
that business is paralyZed in many in
stances.
w. B. Hill, who arrived from Stew
art river, says there is lots of gold there
but it is too expensive to get provisions
up the river.
The steamer Thistle stopped at the
wreck of the Corona, and found that
the wrecking expedition had begun pre-
parations for raising her. AS Diver Nc
Hardy had not been down, the condi-
ton of the Corona's hull was not as
certained, but all the wreckers were
confident of success.
Nearly 1000 miners licenses were is
sued here today.
