ANDREE IN ALASKA.
This the News Brought to Victoria, D. O.,
of the Intrepid Arctic
BallOonist.

VICTORIA, B. G., April 6.-Jaok Carr,
ex-United States mailcarrier, has ar
rived at Departure bay from st. Mich
aels via Dawson with advices from An.
dree, the Arctic explorer.
The news of the arrival of Jack Carr
with advices from Balloonist Andree
was telegraphed from Departure bay
upon the arrival of the steamer upon
which Carr travelled from st. Michaels.
No details were given beyond the fact
that Carr had such advices, and moth
ing further is obtainable until the
steamer arrives at Vancouver or Vic
toria, as she has already left Departure
bay, which is 60 miles from this place.
Carr claims to have message from
Andree, one of his carrier pigeons hav-
ing been picked up.
1t is stated that the message says that
Andree is alive and on land. Carr will
not give out the message for publication.
Several parties at Nanaimo claim to
have seen the message, and they say it
is to all appearances authentic. Full
credence is not given to the report here.
Ex-Mayor w. d. Wood, who arrived
from Dawson few days ago, states
that he saw Carr at Dawsen. Carr said
nothing about Andree to him. From
other sources Mr.. Wood heard some
vague references to Andree, but consid-
cred them without foundation. Carr
left St. Michaels last Thanksgiving.

PAPAL MEDIATION.
Active Exchange of kilograms - This
Constry VIII Not Accept the
POpe's Intervention.

Active Exchange of kilograms - This
ConRtry VIII Not Accept the
Pope's Intervention.
ROME, April 6.--There has been an
active exchange of kilograms between
the Spanish minister for foreign af-
fairs, Senor Gullon, at Madrid, and
Mgr. Merry Del Val, the pope's private
chamberlain, with the view Of drawing
up, with the consent of the pope, the
exact terms of the armistice for Cuba,
which will be proposed, it is said, by the
pope Immediately after the terms are
drawn up, and the hope is expressed at
the vatican that it will be agreed to by
the authorities at Washington.
In clerical circles it appears to be un-
derstood that President Mckinley may
bring pressure to bear upon the insur-
gents to induce them to accept an armis-
tice, and it is understood the holy see
will then exert its influence through the
episcopacy in Cuba.
1t is supposed here that the armistice
proposed will be definitely drawn up to-
day or tomorrow.
LONDON. April Ga special from
Rome, published here, says a telegram
received at the vatican from the United
States has announced the failure of the
pope's intervention. 1t says that Presi-
dent Mckinley showed himself ex-
tremely sensitive of the initiative taken
by the pontiff, but it was impossible for
him to overcome the prejudice, even
though it may be unjust, entertained
by majority of the American people
against the vatican's intervention in po-
htical affairS
The special dispatch from Rome says
the message from the United States to
the pope, which is alleged to have been
sent by President Mckinley, added that
he was "opposed to war now as in the
past, and would still do all possible to
avert having recourse to such lament
able expedient," which he considers to
be unworthy of civilized countries;
but, he could not do so against the SEN
timent of the nation, which claimed
the independence of Cuba and cessa-
ton of the horrors which have been
going on for three years in that un-
happy island"

THEIUMBER BUSINESS,

The Dingley tariff law was 80 arranged
in accordance with the dictation of the
lumber millionaires of Michigan, as
to give them free logs from Canada but
high rates on lumber. This of course,
was to keep out Canadian Lumber and
give big lumbermen a monopoly and 80
rob and plunder our own people.
Canada though resents the injury to
her export trade in lumber by the
schedules in the Dingley bill, by enact
ing a law compelling the manufacture at
home Of all timber cut for commercial
purposes. Now the following statement
is made by men engaged in the Miehi.
gan lumber trade:
1t is the consensus Of opinion among
Michigan lumbermen that if the Ontario
overnment persists in enforcing the
legislation passed last winter, compelling
the manufacture in Canada Of all logs in
the province of Ontario, the lumber in
dustry Of Michigan will be ruined.
A prominent Michigan lumberman, In
spesking OF the matter, contended that
Michigan has for years been the leading

might also have referred to an income
tax which would reach many Of those
who otherwise escape. But Mr.. Har-
rison did good piece of work as it was,
and deserves commendation. 1t can
hardly be possible, one would think,
that Mr.. Harrison can oppose an ircome
tax and approve tariff for protection.
Our taxation is running high, and is
rather on the increase than otherwise,
and likely to continue so. The impor-
tant and absolute requirement these
days is to obtain equality OF rights, and
that includes equal taxation This
would do away with privileges, fran
chises, charters, etc., which rob the
mass of the Ieople to benefit few.
Trusts and combines must be knocked

EQUAL TAXATION.

A. most unjust condition Of things is
unequal and unfair taxation; and this
is the situation in this country. All
this ought to be remedied, but never
will be until the present party in power
is overthrown, as those who are benef.
ciaries of this evil state of affairs control
the Republican party.
AS to the general government the
great bulk OF it's revenue is got from
customs, that is, tariff duties, so levied
as to benefit some at the expense Of the
rest Of the people. Callingit protection
does not change the fact that it Is rob
berry of the pee pie generally under the
form of law.
Ex.President Harrison did a meretori.
Gus work in his address at Chicago few
weeks ago in calling attention to the
fact that many people OF wealth with
good incomes escape paying their share
of taxes, thus throwing heavier burdens
upon the rest of the community. he
was severe in his remarks on this condi
ton of things, denouncing 1t as a lack
Of good citizenship, and indeed moi
patriotic.
Mr.. Harrison failed to go into partic
ulars as he might have done very proper,
ly and pro6tably. He might have re-
ferred to our protective tariff system, SO.
called, and show up Its iniquity. He

The old village of Shawneetown, in
the state of Illinois, on the bottom lands
of the Ohio river is about ten miles below
the mouth of the Wabash. The levee
protecting the town from river overflow
gave way and in few minutes the town
site was submerged to the depth of Is
and 20 feet. The inhabitants took refuge
in the higher houses, and in this way
many were saved, but the loss of life was
very large, and estimated at from 200 TO
800, The town had population of
1000. 1t is a familiar landing place to
all rivermen, and they and others will
respond to appeals for aid.
