ANDREE STORY 4 FAKE.
Resolved Itself Into IA Funny Yarn in
st. Michael Paper.

VICTORIA, b. c., April 6.-The sto-
ry, circulated by Jack Carr, the eX-
| nited States mail carrier, that he had
advices from Andree, was well con-
cocted fake in the hands of a man,
who, when it came to a show down,
was afraid to use it. Before the sto-
ry had been out an hour Carr had all
kinds of offers for an exclusive ac-
count, all of which he refused.
When he reached Victoria this fore
noon he received straight offer of
$1,000 for it, refused it, and turning
around, handed his tale to man
from whom he wanted a favor. He
gave him slip of paper containing
the alleged advices, saying Here,
make what you can out of it, Here
is what Carr had written:
Upon the statement of three men,
Lieutenant Edwin Bell, George Dunn
and Deputy Collector j. p. Agnew, a
carrier pigeon was found at st. Mich
aels late last October, which, they
claim, brought message from Andree
who was still alive. Further infor-
nation they refused to divulge."
This document was handed to your
correspondent tonight. with a type
written newspaper published in st
Michaels. in which there was an anu
sing yarn about Dunn and Bell hav
ing been out and finding a carrier pig
con. The story was just a humorous
slit. and upon it was based Carr'S
story. Agnew, the other man men
toned by Carr, was the author of the
gl-it

IN THE HOUSE.

Rep. Loebenstein read report
form the joint committee to whom
was referred the Wide Tire Bill, rec
ommending that the same, with the
House amendments, pass. The mat
ter had received consideration by
committees of both the Senate and
House and was approved by them.
Rep. Robertson made the point that
the report should be made to the Sen
ate, which had not concurred in the
amendments, and not to the House.
So ordered, and the report was with
drawn.
Rep. Pogue read a resolution pro-
viding that the Sergeat-at-arms pur-
chase furniture and stationery for the
committee rooms; also that the Ser
geant-at-Arms remain after adjourn
ment each day to attend the needs of
committees and members.
Quite discussion arose over n pro-
posal by Rep. Isenberg that the Ser
geant-at-Arms, if detained after adj
iournment, should be paid extra. Sew
eral members contended that his du-
ties ended with the days session.;
others that day was a dav. and that
the Sereeant-at-Arms should be on
duty in the afternoon as well as the
forenoon.
The resolution was tabled by vote
Of G to 4.

Senator's, and the bill relating ia

In the Senate this morning Senator
Holstein reported for the Judiciary
Committee on the answer of the Min

| The committee says: Eve fail to note
any express authority allowing the

| of the public domain for the purposes
as contemplated by the memorial com
mittee but we think though. such
powers by implication exist.
"Iotr committee are aware of the
complaints being made as to the de-
STABILITY of placing the memorial in

could be procured. but that is a sub
| iect which we leave to the Judgment
of the Legislature"
The report was temporarily deferr-

TIRES.

WeIdo not know whether the New
York good roads law includes an ef-
fective wide tire law, but if it is not
supplied it's good effects will be tran
sient, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. If
our political providences insure that
only wide tires for heavy loads shall
be used on the new roads, they will
be permanent blessing. But if the
old style of tires is permitted to tear
them to pieces, it will not be many
years before we have nothing but the
tax bills to remember them by.
