TELLER REsOLUTION.

1t is the intention of the house lead
ers to Offset as far as possible the ac-
ito of the senate in passing the Tel
Ter resolution, by killing that declara
ton of the sense of congress regarding
the payment of the governments coin
bonds in silver on nay and aye vote
in the house this week. This viii be
the feature of the proceedings. While
the full Republican strength in the
house cannot be combined against the
resolution, no doubt is expressed by
those who have made it their business
to canvass the situation that the ma
jority will be decisive. AS soon as the
resolution is reported back from the
ways and means committee. which
may be tomorrow, the rules committee
will bring in a special order for its
consideration. The time allowed for
debate is likely to be brief, as the
leaders do not believe there is any ne
cessity for protracted debate, and.
moreover, a long discussion would
measureably decrease the very purpose
they have in view-namely, a prompt
and decisive negative reply to the SEN
ate'S declaration.

WATCH THE TRAILS.

Therefore it is my opinion that the
Alaskan detachment of the army could
not be better employed than to watch
the trails and tally the men and pro-
visions passing to the interior.
The government would then have
definite information as to whether there
would be want or suffering in the Alas
kan territory next winter"

arise to alter the present arrangements,

least as far as Chilkoot pass, to direct

expedition. is lying at the wharf at
Vancouver barracks, ready to transfer
her freight to the steamer George w.
Elder when she arrives from Alaska to-

cort of go enlisted men and $50 tons OF
supplies, and the steamer Signal, which
sails from Seattle Feb. Z, will carry 1lO
pack animals, "a men and a portion OF
the relief supplies.
General Merriam, commanding the
department OF the Columbia, has de-
cided upon landing the entire expedl-
ton at Dyea and pushing forward over
tpe ChilkOot pass as fast as possible.
He has notified the Chicago Snow &
Ice Transportation company, which has
the contract to transport the supplies
from Dyea to the interior. that its
train must be ready to receive freight
by Feb. 10 at Dyea-
FEARS OF NEXT WINTER
General Merriam is working out a
plan to ascertain the number of people
and the amount of supplies that will
enter Alaska this summer. Speaking
of this matter today, he said: From
present indications a greater relief ex
petition will be needed next winter
than this. Hundreds are already en-
barking for the gold fields without
more than sufficient supplies to last
during the summers prospecting. 1t
appears that thousands more are on the
way in a similar condition. While many
may come out at the end of the season,
others will stay with the hope of pur-
chasing supplies. The result may be
disastrous.
