In the Senate those voting yesterday
against the Burke resolution for the in

issued for Dick, Hollenbeck and Otis
to testify before the committee next

In the House there was long dis

As the Republicans expected to reor-

to postpone further consideration of
the Otis resolution, SO that Speaker
Mason would not appoint the committee
to conduct the investigation.
Speaker Mason announced standing
committees to-day. The House refused
to postpone the resolution, and it was
adopted-o4 to 5-most of the Republi-

to a carriage and rode to the Hollenden.
The Senator was Justify cheered all
along the line of march, many business

OF the Hollenden, and the Senator was
congratulated on all sides.
Senator Hanna received an enthusiast
tic ovation all along the route from Co
lumbus to Cleveland, and at several
points made brief addresses to the as
sembled crowds.
Senator Hanna, at the Hotel Hollen-

ATTORNEY GENERAL McKENNA
His Nomination to be Associate
Justice Favorably Reported.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The Senate
Committee on Judiciary to-day decided
to report favorably on the nomination
of Attorney General McKenna to be
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court.
The meeting of the committee was
comparatively brief, and was devoted to
reading the newspaper attacks and let
tiers bearing upon Mr.. McKenna's NOM
ination, and to a discussion of their
merits by the members of the commit
tee. This discussion was very generally
participated in, one or two of the men,
bers expressing regret that the Presi-
dents choice for the office of Justice
should be made subject to the charge of
1ncompetency. When, however, the vote
was taken on motion to favorably re-
port the nomination to the Senate, no
negative ballot was cast.
The nomination of Attorney General
McKenna to be Justice of the Supreme
Court was reported to the Senate, and
Senator Hoar sought to have it acted
upon Objection was made, however,
and it went over.
The objection made to the present
consideration of Mr.. McKenna's nomi-
nation carries it over for only one day,
but 1t is not yet decided whether the
attempt to secure confirmation will be
rendered tomorrow. The objection
made to-day came from the Democratic
side, and it is understood to have been
dictated in part by a spirit of resent
ment of the wording of the Att ney-
Generals dispatch cong rltulating Sen
ator Hanna upon his re election TO the
Senate, which was as folloS 8:

The Hearing Continued Before the
British Court.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-At the hearing
of the suit of Daniel Jay, a money
lender. to recover from Lady Sykes,
Wife of Sir Tatton Skyes, the sum of
Els, $50 lent to her Ladyship in 1896
on the security of notes purporting to
be signed by her husband, the defend
ant repudated the suggestion of coun-
sci that she had in 1890 obtained from
the ORION Bank the sum of 10000 on
a forged guarantee which her husband
afterward recovered and burned in or
der to avoid scandal.
Asked if she knew D. O. Mills, she
said: "Oh, he is the father of Ogden
Mills. the man who married my sister
in-law's twin sister,
Continuing, the witness said that at
Sir Tatton's request, while in San
Francisco, she asked Mr.. Mills to allot
him shares in an Alaska gold mine.
and paid for them. She did not receive
her husbands check for 80 600 to pay
for them. In October, 1898, Sir Tatton,
she added, gave her two checks for
e., 900 each for the purpose of buying
from Ogden Mills some more Alaska
securities, but the shares were not OBJ
tainaple, and she applied the money
on paying debts.
Later on Lady Sykes told of a 49,

A certain naval Captain, ]. H. Allen,
it appears, wanted money, so they join

At this juncture, replying to a re-
mark from the Judge, counsel said that
it was proposed to show that between
1890 and 1896 Sir Tatton Sykes gave
his wife f126.000.
The witness remarked that this rep
resented the Accommodations and renew
ais of twenty years.
Replying to the Judge, Lady Sykes
said she had always been and still was
on the best terms with her husband,
and had never had a cross word with
him in her life.
Other witnesses testified to the gen.
uiness of the signatures, and a Monte
Carlo banker testified to seeing Sir Tat
ton syn checks which he afterward re-
pudiated.
After two experts had testified to the
genuiness of Sir Tatton Sykes sigma

MINERS BOUND FOR KLONDIKE
CANADA LEvIES HEAVY DUTIES
ON SUPPLIES.
Thirty Per Cent. Levied Upon
Everything Except the Clothes
on a Persons Back

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-In a. few
days the Treasury Department will
make known the details of the arrange
ment recently concluded with Mr.. Sif-
ton, Canadian Minister of the Interior
respecting the transportation of gold
seekers and freight to the Klondike
Meanwhile it is learned here from good
authority that the Canadian Govern
ment is about to issue new customs and
mining regulations applicable to that re-
gion.
Last year the Canadian Government
permitted the free entry of miners
blankets, personal clothing and cooking
utensils in use and 100 pounds of food
! for each person, charging duty on ex-
cess. This year customs duties are levied
on everything the miner takes in, except
practically the clothes on his back. The
Canadian Government does not wish 10
be niggardly, but is going to great ex-
pense to maintain police and establish
courts of law, Postoffices, treasures for
/ the safekeeping of gold offices where
drafts may be obtained for gold and
! other conveniences, and must obtain
revenue to meet the outlay.
Everyone, regardless of nationality,
| is at liberty to enter the Klondike and
take up mining claims, subject to the
Canadian regulations, but all supplies
and outfits bought outside of Canada,
| as for instance the United States Or
England viii be subjected to Canadian
customs duties, averaging 80 per cent.
| Outfits and supplies bought in Canada
| by persons taking the Wrangle and
h.
/ Dyea or Dalton trail routes. will be ad-
mitted free into the Klondike, subject 10
duty when taken in over all Canadian
routes from Ashcroft, Kamloops and
/ Edmonton.
The Canadian authorities warn the
public against so-called transportation
/ companies which are offering, for sums
ranging from $50 to $50, payable in adj
vance, to convey persons from The
| Eastern States to Dawson City by Ca
madam routes, and to provide them
| with food en- route. The overland
routes within Canada are all controlled
| by the Canadian Pacific Railway, which
/ is also operating the route via Wrangel
and the Stickeen. and outside companies
/ have no authority whatever to offer
such rates.
Persons going to the Klondike this
spring are recommended to take plenty
| of food and clothing, otherwise on
reaching the frontier of the Canadian
Yukon district they will be turned back
by the Canadian mounted police. There

A SUMMERLESS YEAR.
The Year 1916 Holds the Record up

The Year 1916 Holds the Record up
to Date.
A correspondent writes to the Rockland
| Mass Standard as follows:
"Is 1898 to be like 1916, which was
Europe as the year without SUMMER
The following are the chilly chronicles of
that memorable season OF unreasonable
weather eighty-two years ago:
"Janusry and February were mild;
March, cold; April opened. warm, but
closed with snow and ice. In May ice
formed an inch thick, and farmers had to
replant their fields.
"In June frost and ice were frequent.
Nearly every green thing was killed, and
fruit generally destroyed. The wind
blew constantly from the north, bitterly
cold and piercing. Country people
worked out their highway taxes clad in
overcoats and mittens. Snow fell to the
depth OF three inches in Massachusetts,
and New York, seven in Maine and ten
in Vermont. In the latter state a heavy
snowstorm prevailed June II, and
farmer left home at noon to look up his
sheep, loosely remarking to his wife:
Better start the neighbors after me
soon. Seeing it's the middle OF June, l
may get lost in the snow That night
the storm increased and he failed to re-
turn. Next morning search was com
menced and continued until the third
day when he WAS found on hillside with
both feet frozen and unable to walk. A
yeoman in Tewksbury built fires about
his cornfield at night to keep away the
frost, and his was the only crop which
ripened in that vicinity.
July had frosty nights, and ice
sixteenth OF an inch thick gathered all
through New England and New York
and sections OF Pennsylvania, destroying
most OF the corn that escaped the pre-
vious freezings.
august was more dismal than any of
the preceding months. Ice formed half
an inch in thickness, and crops OF all
kinds both in this country and Europe
were blighted and ruined. On the 30th
there was a snow storm in England, and
papers published there stated that 1876
will be remembered as a year in which
there was no summer. In France and
elsewhere on the continent the price OF
provisions doubled. Wheat sold for
three dollars bushel in England, and
bread riots were common throughout the
kingdom during 1877.
"September came in with two weeks OF
pleasant weather, but went out beneath
an inch-thick covering of ice. October
was exceptionally cold, and November
bleak and stormy, but December proved a
comfortable month.
"The farmers in the United States had
to use corn raised in 1915 for seed in 1917,
and it sold at from four to five dollars a
busheI.
Across the four-score years and more,
from 1916 to 1898, there fall to US some
crumbs OF comfort. We stand drenehed
and shivering and buffeted by the bitter
northeast blasts in the month Of roses,
but the places of our nightly summer
rest are yet without drRperies OF frost,

Main street an attack of heart disease

Capt. Crockett gives long regretful sigh
when he recalls how much money he used
to handle in those days. 1t came by express,
$10O,0 600 at time and was given into
Capt. Crockett's charge for a safe passage
to Dix Island. After while fears began
to be entertained that a break might be
made and Treasurer Titcomb, of the Rock
land savings bank, carried it over by day
light, himself heavily armed.
When the Dix Island boom began to
wane, Capt. Crockett and G. w. S. Cobb,
now of ST. Louis, built the coasting yes
sci sc. NJ. Brainerd', as good a craft,
Capt. Crockett says, as ever left the ways.
The "Brainerd" was sailed mainly to Bal
timore, Philadelphia and New York, and
realized good money from freights. Then
shipping went the way of the Dix Island
granite industry, and Capt. Crockett saw
quite spell when he might just as well
have thrown his money into the bay as to
have played with coasting vessel prop
erty. From that time up to the present
Capt. Crockett's history is that of the
Rockland & Bluehill and Roekland, Blue
hill & Ellsworth steamboat lines.
Honest, bluff and big-hearted Capt.
Crockett has steered his course up and
down the Maine coast this many a day,
admired, respected and beloved by all.
Steam boating is honestly inherited by
Capt. Crockett's sons, Ralph and Louis,
who will command the "Julietteo and
"Rockland', respectively, this season.

Ministry to the Soul.

Christ emphasizes ministry to the
soul. He does not overlook physical ills,
but makes their relief subordinate to
the necessities of the spiritual nature.
There seems to be tendency in our
day to reverse this order of service HUI
manitarianism is exalted at the expense
OF ChrisSs gospel. There is too much
attention given to gospel for this life
and too little to the gospel for the life
to come. Let there not be less relieving
of the sick, the suffering and the needy,
but more instructing theignorant, more
resouing the fallen. more comforting
the dying and more helping men into
heaven. -Presby terrain.

not musical proficiency, but Christian
