White and Chilkoot Passes.

Seattle, March 4.-Flve s.eamers
arrived from Alaska yesterday. The
most important news brought down
was the confirmation of previous re-
ports that Canadian official raised
the British flag on what is regarded as
American soil. 1t is feared that seri-
GUS trouble will grow out of the Can
adams attempt to collect a duty on
the summit of White pass and Chill
colt pass, and that Americans will re-
sist payment on what they consider
American ground. Another compl1-
cation which may arise are tramways
which are being constructed to carry
freight over the passes. Officials
of these tramways are said to have de-
clared that any interruption to the
construction will be resisted. 1t is
thought at Dyea and Skaguay that
the movements among the authorities
will be to claim sovereignty over these
two places Last summer the bound
ary line was at Lake Bennett, then at
Lindermann and now at Summit
mountain which is only twelve miles
from salt water.

Washington, March 4.-Secretary
Long said last night that no word hal

gomery and the gunbOat Nashville

The navy department has been ad-
vised that the Mallory line steamer
leaving New York next Sunday would
carry, free of charge, seventy-hve tons
of supplies, to be transferred to the
Montgomery and Nashville at Key
West. The Mallory steamer expects
to take about four days to run down
the coast, so that the transfer to war
ships, and the start to Cuba cannot be
made before the next day. Relief
measures are proving Unexpectedly
successful the supplies are running into
carloads and hundreds of tons.
The chairman of the Central Cuban
relief committee has advised the state
department that donations are coming
in in great abundance, not only in
money, but more particularly in the
form of provisions, from all direc-
TONS" The Maine relief fund yester-
day reported total of $4,000. In
the course of inquiry into the naval
resources of the United States, orders
were issued to make machinery for the
old war monitors at League Island
navy yard. These are single turreted
craft, armed with big smooth bore
guns in turrets and could likely be
pierced by modern high-poWered rifles
in the battleships, but they would still
be of service in case of emergency.
There are eight of these monitors at
League Island and the government
owns several now loaned to the naval
militia. During the course of the day
inquiries similar to that made by the
Japanese legation, as to the number of
Japanese subjects aboard the Maine,
came to the navy department from the
German and Swedish legations and it
is expected that others will follow.
Nearly every nationality was repre-
scented in the Names big crew.

havana, March tt Via h6y W0SC).
A naval officer here yesterday, in re-
ply to the suggestion that it was pity
such an important decision as the
verdict of the court of inquiry into the
Maine explosion should rest solely
upon the testimony of divers who
seemed to be men of only average in
telligence, replied: ''The court of in
quiry has not to dpend upon the divers
testimony alone" then realizing he
had said more than he had intended,
the officer resumed his habitual re-
serve. 1t is believed the testimony Of
Lieut. Commander Wainwright was
highly important as bearing on the
point of submarine mine. The gov
eminent has employed an expert pho
tographer, now in Havana, who will
send to the navy department at Wash
ington photographs of Lne armor plates
and different portions of wreck i'm
mediately upon their recovery from

inquiry has definite plan of action
which seems doubtful, it has not been
made public. Senator Proctor has
seen much in short time and there
is good authority for saying that he
will make the results of his observa-
tons known in the senate on his re-
turn to Washington At MatanZas

THE OPERA.

becoBo Performance OF "Dio WalkueFe.0
A second performance of Di walkure" took
place last evening, the only change in the cast
from that Of the former presentation being tho
substitution Of Rothm6hl for Kraus in the role of
Sfe0mund. Owing partly to this. as Rothmuhl
Is less vital and less forcible than the other
tenor. the second performance was not
SO full Of life and viRor as tho first
ono had been. An audience which only
half filled the house, and was besides of an
apathetic temper, assisted in the general effect
of tamcness and lassitude which singers
and orchestra displayed. The representation
was far below the standard of tho first
night OF this opera. First nights are likely to
be brisk and spicy because every one concerned
is on his mettle, Is ready to " look alive" and in
a state OF aiertness in which the minds OF singers
and players arc all in the attitude md act Of

material Candidacy.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 14.-One of the most i'm.
portant municipal elections in Philadelphia for
many years will be held tomorrow. It's i'm
p~ortance lies chiefly In the fact that the selec-
hon of q Tax Receiver, which 10 tho main con.
test. will have a potential influence on
the prospective choice of q Republican
candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania. II the
candidate of the local Republican machine. who
will be elected, beyond doubt. should be chosen
by an emphatic majority, 1t is likely to sum-
marily determine the course of Mr.. Wana-
maker. because it will mean a united effort of
the Republican machine throughout the State
to nominate Peter A.. b. Widener for Governor.
That Is why so many local politicians under
stand to-morrow's contest as foreshadowing tho
Issue Of the fight for Governor.
Whether or not Secretary of the Common
wealth David Martin Is pledged to Widener for
Governor, there is no dispute as TO the fact that
Senator Quay has pledged himself and Instruct
ed his followers In Philadelphia to support Will
liam j. Roncy. the regular Republican candi-
date for Tax Receiver. who Is David Martins
brother.in.law and naturally the Martin candi-
date.
A largo vote for the Citizens candidate
against Roney would put a different color on
the situation. 1t would forecast q stronger
Citizens movement In the State and perhaps
determine the possibility Of Mr.. Wanamaker as
an independent candidate.
The Citizens candidate is William II. Rhawn,
ex.Prcsident of tho National Bank OF the Re-.
local reform organization: His cause is cham
pioned by Sheriff Alexander Crow. Jr.. who was
elected over the candidate OF the regular Repub-
lican organization In 1896.

Upon Appeal They Arc Decided Against Uncle
Sam on n Technical Point.
ST. LOUIS. Feb. 14.-Threc antitrust cases
were lost by the Government to-day in the
United States Court of Appeals here. Tho
original suits were brought by United States
Attorney J. w. Judd of Utah against F. H.
Moore, d. ]. Sharp. and E. L. Carpenter. F. II.
Moore is the agentsfor the Union Pacific in
Salt Lake county, and manages the company's
coal business there. Sharp and Carpenter are
extensive coal operators. and belong to the Salt
Lake Coal Exchange. -
The Government authorities arrested and
prosecuted them on the ground that an agree
ment existed whereby the prices of coal were so
manipulated as tc shut Off competition and
deter the progress of trade. Tho cases were
tried in the Territory Court on indictments
were found guilty of seeking to establish q
monopoly. and each was fnod 5000 and costs.
Some of the proceedings were carried over
10 the Circuit Court, which was formed after
Utah was admitted to Statehood. The defend.
ants successfully set up a plea on a technicality
involving an appeal from a Territorial to q

tho criminality OF seeking to:establish a mon
opoly. is.concerncd, were not tested to-day, the
decision of the trial court being reversed on the
technical point mentioned.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 4.-The United States
Circuit Court Of Appeals, Justice Harlan and

~terstate commerce., and q violation of the Fed

The court distinguished this case from tho

ISOLATION for the manufacture of sugar and did
not involve, as the contract in this case did, the
restraint of sales OF merchandise to be deliv-

Cit City Committee.
The seven Cts to whom was delegated the
responsibility of evolving q plan for non-parti-
san permanent organization have got up one
which they think meets the requirements of
the situation, and John c. Clark. the Secretary
of the Committee on Organization. has called a
meeting for tomorrow evening. when the com.
mittee will consider 1t. The plan provides for
the appointment at once of an Executive Com
mittee Of twenty-five members OF the Union,
who are to raise money and assist in other ways
in the organization OF Cit clubs in the Assem-.
bly, districts.
There Is to be a social Cts club and a non
partisan Cts organization in each district. AS
soon as the organization in any district has a
membership equal TO one-tenth OF tho vote cast
for Seth Low In 1897 in that district it will be
entitled to elect a member to serve on a Cit
City Committee. When twenty-four districts
have elected Cit City Committeeman tho Elk
ecuti-e Committee Of twenty-five will dissolve
and the CIT City Committee will take charge of
affairs. For each 800 members In addition to
the tenth of the Low vote, a district organiza-
tion may have another Cit City Committeeman.
This plan Of permanent organization is the fruit
of many weeks of thought and will be adopted.
