TROUBLE ON THE YUKON.
Conflict Between the United States
 and Canadian Author; ies.

Salt Lake, Utah, Feb. GA special to the Tribune from Butte, Mcn.., says: Information received from Lethbridge. Ont, on the Canadian boundary, is to the effect that great exci ement has been caused there by orders received by the Dominion governmnt that ev- cry man of the mounted police Id himself in readiness to proceed to he Yukon at moments notice fir 1:m- poraIy duty. Superintendent Dian 1e- ceived notive to go to Mcleod to re- lieye Major Steele, who was orered to the Yukon and had left for that place before the arrival of a second message.
 Five men were also ordered 10 the Yukon and left yesterday. The or ders, which were received by wire by the officers in command from that di- vision, are said to be due to the ex- istence of serious trou5ls between the Canadian and Unfted States auth IT. ties in Alaska relative io an attempt by the Americans to get provisions into the Yukon country free of du y ostensibly for the relief of distress, but in reakty fer sale to the highest bidders.

RAISING MONEY.
The Treasury of the First Methods
 Church in Better Condition.

II takes a Methodist to raise the wind, and especially one of note The board of trustees displayed excellent
 judgment in securing the presence of Bishop McCabe to start the ball roll ing, and if it were possible they would keep him here for some time in order to wipe out the church debt. The Saturday evening lecture reduced it somewhat and the usual collection in the morning brought a goodly sum.
 It cost $2,O00 to supply the seats for the church and balance of $500 re- mains unpaid. The trustees thought the bishop had made a grand success as "a collector and it would not be bad idea to have him help raise the required sum at the close of the morn ing service yesterday. The bishop

ONE OF GODS LITTLE ONES.
Bishop c. C. McCabe's Sermon at the
 First MethDdis: Chursh.

The :. etrGpcldtan cities toast of few church ed:fces that cos more Or have g eater seating capacity than the First Methodist church of Fh e. nix. It is safe 70 place the actua
 means of accommodating those wlo may attend al 300, but at least 900 persons can be seated with comfort to all. Yesterday at 80 o'clock in, the morning was, perhaps, the sec
 ond occasion of the kind, when i,
 taxed the ingenuity of the ushers to locate the late corners.
 Bishop McCabe chose his t-xt from the sixtieth chapter of Isaiah, ve se 32. The noed prelate quoted he par able which has reference to the tal- ents in the hands of men and the in creased number they were able to show when again questioned. It was found that none had less than 1GO r cent more. This WIS the basis Of Bishop McCabe's sermon. He des red to show that God favored usury in the i light of conversion. The able divine illustrated his idea of investmen. frc m a spiritual point of view. God want ed to save more souls, and if it could be accomplished on the plan of com
 pound interest it would mean the conversion of every living soul in siX;y-six years, passing the number of true Christians in the world 70 be 30,00000O, though the number Of
 Christians is placed at 100000 GOO.
 You must bring souls to Christ. It is the little ones that we should be- gin upon and in their childhood teach them right from the wrong. We must arouse ourselves to the prime pit of doing Gods work" said the distin- guished prelate. "Will you do it?' 1 he continued, "will you do 1t? Here ! at your own church, If the work o1 | converting souls were to go on at the compound interest rate you could
 not find space to place them under the roofs of three buildings like tn S.

 references were nicely drawn and wit1

THREE ASPHYXIATED BY GAS.
Hawkes. Found Wife and Childrs n Un- conscious When He Reached Home.

New York, Feb. 6.-When Thomas' Hawkes. got home early yesterday morning from his nights work at the sable of the mounted park police he found the door of his flat on the top floor at 72 Ans cerdam avenue locked. He had no key, and his knocks met with no response. After a time he kicked in the door. A vo,uma of gas rolled out, nearly overcoming him. He staggered inside and found his wife Kate and his two little children, Tom and Maggie, unconscious on the bed. Hawkes. carried them out m the hall and summoned aid. The woman and children were taken to he Roosevelt hospital. The children soon revived, but the woman's condition is still ser.- ous, although the hospital physicians think she will recover.
 There is no reason to suppose that Hawkes. wife, who Is a young woman, tried to kill herself. The gas es- capped from the burner in the kitchen, to which rubber tube to a gas stove was attached when the stove was in use. The tube was not attache1 when the woman was found unconscious, and the stop cock was turned on full. There are two valves to the gas fixture, one for illumination and the other for the gas stove. The Illuminating burn CT was lighted, and it is thought that Mrs. Hawkes. turned the ether cock on accidentally.

in Washington a few days .He was
 discussing Arizona and the west in general before the fire in the lobby of the Arlington last night. "The paop,e In Arizona" he said, 'sare net taking any very great interest in the qusst.on of admitting Arizona to statehood, but of course, we would. like to see her placed with the stars on the blue field of our flag. Some persons claim that our population consists largely of h. dians and MeXicans, but this is wr5I1g. for out of population of about S7, COG nearly S5,C00 are whites and good American citizens.
 "We are all fairly prosperous in Arizona; ths mining and agricultural interests are in good shape, and any man with pick and pan can wash out cf the gold-bearing streams enough to pay him s4 or $5 a day for his trou- ble, and there is plenty of room fc hundreds of them. The cattle are
 good shape and are brough. in fro the plains to fatten upon the alfals~ grass in the irrigated country, ofwl1il any number of crops may be raise during the year, and we can always. find good market for them.

There is a fight against him on account of the receiver hs' appointed fer an irrigating canal company, bonded for s2,OO0 GOO, the bondlholders living in the east. They asked that receiver be appointed and named MT. W. J. Murphy, who was president of the canal company, for | the place. Judge Street appointed MT. c. J. Hall, a young man who is cash fer of enc of the local banks, and he eastern bondholders opposed him be- cause they thought he was interested in rival canal company. This was 1 proven not to be the case, and the op- 1 position to. MT. Hall is rot now so strong, but seems to have centered in an effort to defeat the confirmation of Judge Street. The mater will
 doubtless be settled soon, and the Ari-
 zonans hope that Judge Stres. will

grao.ously consen;ed to lead in the announced to the large audience that $500 was needed to pay off balance. He stated further that certain mem bers of the church, among whOmswere Dr. Pratt, MT. o. H. Christy and Mrs J. F. Wilson, all led by iha pastor, would circulate among those p esent and receive donations.
 The bishop then called for $50 do- nations. This failed and then he wanted eight $25 subscriptions, and these were forthcoming. Ten dollars from a number was called for, arc thereafter $5 per head would not be objected to. It got up to within $4 of the coveted sum. There seemed to be a miscounh at this stage and the polling clerks compared notes With those of the bishop, who was an adep, at figures. Meantime dollars were coming in, and in order 10 make a complete success of the enterprise the de2cons passed the collection boxes around once more. This net.ed a few dollars in nickles and dimes, and taken as whole the SD cial collection far exceeded the amount called for. All this was done w tn n twenty minutes and then the trustees uttered sigh of relief They are now watching the lecture bureau in the hone of Sppur:np Q ool1cotor oj stated intervals.

DISCUSSED ARIZONA.
Two Well Known Phoenix c. ize <
 Interviewed at Washi gton.

The Washington Pest of a recent date contains the following:
 There is river out in cur terri tory called the Hassayampa, which is typical of Arizona" said MT. J. C.. Adams, the mayor of Phoenix, Ariz and one of the most progressive c.ti- zens of that lively town, at the Ar lingtom last night. 'SThis river will run along for few miles as a broad beautiful stream, and narrowing sud- denly, disappear through the sands, only to come up again few miles further on and run along as placidly and beautifully as a well regula ed stream should. There is leg n1 con nected with this river that any one who ever tas,es of it's waters can never afterwards tell the truth. The miners in the country through which it flows are called 'Hassayampas, and from them come most of the w:eTd, W Id staries of adventure that the people in he east expect from Arizona, the erslwhi1e home of Alkali Ike ani Cactus Bill. This water can be bot tied and brought east, so that an Ari- zonan who comes here on a mission can take a small mp and then tell his friends about Arizona.
 But that plea that we have made for a capitol building in Phoenix does not come from the 'Hassayampas,' but from the men who are business all the way through, and see profit in erecting 3 building at the cost of S100,- O00 that will serve for place in wh ch to keep all the documents and treas ures of the territory rather than pay several thousand dollars a year for ! office rent, and then feel all along that the property is not safe. We hope to get aa appropriation through this congress for such a building, and | believe we will"

Three Important Matters HlI
 Occupy the Senate
THE ANNEXATION TREATY
The Case of Corbett of Oregon
 and the Appropriations
The House has a ConteStai Election Case From Alabama the Result of Which is Partially Indica ed by the Committee.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The attention probability be divided between the Ha- waiian annexation Urea y, the appro- priation. bills and the righ- of H. W. Corbett to g. seat in the senate from Oregon. The treaty will probably occupy the greater share of attention on Monday, but after that the com mittee on appropriations will cla m the time for the Indian appropr ation bill, which, it is generally exp cted, will be reported early in the week.
 This bill will provoke considerable debate and by the time it is disposed of the committee on appropr.a ions hopes to have the fortificatiors bill before the senate. Senator Hear will at the same time press the Corbatt matter upon the attention of flhe sen ate as a matter of the highes'. p-:vi- 1ege and several speeches will be made.
 THE HOUSE PROGRAMME
 Washington, Feb. 6.-Iit is probable that the programme of the house, which has been confined almost ex clusively this session to the consider ation of appropriai bills, Will be varied this week by the consideration Of a contested election snse. IL is the pE, pose of the house leaders to keep the house appropriation bills to the front in order 10 obtain a final early adjournment or, as an alter a i've, throw responsibility for delay on the senate But after the fortificaio bill is disposed of only one other ar- propriation bill is on the calendar, for the military academy, and it should not consume more than a few hours.
 It is the intention of the leaders, therefore, to fill the hia,ous this week with the consideration of the Aldrich- Plowman contested election case from the Fourth Alabama dist:i [. The elections committee is divided on this case on party lines and the indications are, therefore, that the house will do the same, and that MT. PIowman VIII be unseated.
