NO TARIFF ON ICE.
So Canadian Mineral Water is Fro
zen and Sent Over the
Border in Chunks.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 15.-Just before
the Dingley tariff law was passed a syn
dictate of Bostonians purchased a min
eral spring near Toronto, intending to
ship the water into this country under
the low tariff of the Wilson bill. The
Dingley bill, however, placed a duty of
"A cents a gallon upon all imported
waters. This was practically prohibitory
and the mineral water investment seemed
doomed.
But it did not take the Boston men
long to make a discovery. They found
that Mr.. Dingley had retained ice on the
free list and they also proved by test that
it did not injure the medical properties of
the water to freeze it. SO, now the min
eral water is coming over the Canadian
border and into this country in solid
chunks. 1t pays less freight than before
and it does not require casks that are
worth 81 piece. The syndicate is now
saving q cents on every gallon

Criminal History.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 15.-The
President has extended complete par
don to Clyde Mattox, who is now serving
life sentence in the Kansas state peni-
Tertiary for murder committed in the
Indian territory. Mattox's case was high

careful consideration to his case and
upon strong representations made to him
by friends of Mattox in June, 1894, com
muted this sentence to Imprisonment for
life.
Mrs. Sadie NJ. Hatch, Ntattox's mother,
has spent her estate in fighting the case
and it is due to her efforts that the par
don has been secured. Mattox comes of
an aristocratic Southern family. He was

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 15.-Collector of

Mr.. Smith, United States Commissioner

land three miles down from the head of
Lake Bennett which is near the boun-
Diary, as defined by the United States,
and which would give the United States
control of the territory from the coast to

alleges, has ordered all locators of lots to
have them recorded with him. A party
of Americans followed the commissioners
directions by hosting the American flag
just below the police barracks, where the
British flag was flying. The Canadian
mounted police demanded an explanation
