Arrival of an Important Feature of
I&IondiIxe Relief Expedition.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The arrival of the
Allan line steamer Manitoban at the Penn
sylyania Railroad stock yards pier, in Jer-
sey City, caused an unusual amount of ex-
element there to-day. The stock yards at
all times are full of hustle and endless
hustiing, but to-day there was unmistak-
ably something out of the usual run of
things occurring there. Never before has
any vessel brought to this port more in
teresting cargo Of living freight than that
which the liner Manitoban landed to-day.
On board the big vessel which left Alien,
Norway Feb. 1. were ia Laplanders and
Firms men, women and children together
with 537 reindeer, 40 sleds. over 500 sets of
harness and $500 bags of moss with which
the deer were fed. This motley group con-
stifutes the government relief expedition
to the Klondike sufferers and they all ar
rived safely after 81 voyage of twenty-three
days.
All the I-aplanders and many of the Firms
were dressed in the clumsy fur clothing
and peculiar headgear of the arctic region.

the success of his campaign against Baker.
The latter was private secretary TO Public
Printer Benedict during C1eveland's first
term. and at Mr.. Benedicts personal re-
quest was continued the pay roll by
General Palmer during the Harrison admin
istration. He is charged by Mr.. Landis
with having put in his time during these
four Republican years to collect data on
which excuses for dismissals could be built
II the Democrats ever got back into power.
When Mr. Benedict was reappoirted public
printer Baker was given his old place, and
proceeded to make use of the material he
had laboriously collected. He caused the
discharge of an army of Republicans, and
the record of his performances fell into Mr..
Iandiss hands and was utilized by him in
that speech" He denied the correctness
of many of Mr.. Landis's statements and
made the ciyil-service commissioners be-
lievo he was much prosecuted man. Then,
emboldened by his success in retaining his
position, he began attacking the Indiana
congressman. The latter thereupon sharp
ened his tomahawk and went on the war
path. He made good every charge he had
made against Baker, and although the lat
ter had taken shelter in the office of the
Civil-service Commission. he ultimately
dragged him out. Baker is private citi-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The Hawaiian
annexation advocates who are going
upon the theory that an annexation bill or
resolution will come UP for action in the

mistaken idea. They are assuming that they

a privileged question: whereas the par
Lamentations of the House say that such
is not the case, and if the machinery OF
that body is against bringing up the meas
ure consideration will have to be postponed.

comes it viii be discovered that Hawai-,
like a good many other things, will be held
