Canadian Government Issues a
Statement to Pilgrims
AS TO REGULATIONS.
Which Will Be Enforced by the
Authorities.
Duty of 80 Per Cent on All
Supplies Going In.

Washington, Jan. 13.-In a few days
the treasury department will make
known the details of the arrangements
recently concluded with Mr.. Sifton,
Canadian minister of the interior re-
specting the transportation of gold
seekers and their outfits for the Klon-
dixie. Meanwhile it is learned here
from good authority that the Canadian
government is about to issue new GUS
toms and mining regulations applica-
BILE to that region. Last year when
there was an unexpected rush to the
gold fields the Canadian government
permitted the EMERY of miners blank
cts, personal clothing in use, cooking
utensils in use, and 100 pounds of food
for each person, charging duty only on
excess.

great expense to maintain police and to
establish courts of law, pOStofnceS,

miners gold offices where drafts may
be obtained for gold and other conven-
fences; and must obtain revenue to
meet the outlay. Every one regardless
of nationality is at liberty to enter the
Klondike and take up mining claims
subject to the Canadian regulations,
but all supplies and outfits bought out

United States or England, will be sub

dian routes from Ashcroft, EamIoops,

The Canadian authorities desire to
warn the public against sO-called trans
portation companies which are offer

padding.

MAsCAGNI's TORTURE.
Trying to Compose an Opera With
Real Japanese Music.

Vancouvers<3. c., Jan. 13.-Advices
by steamer Empress of China says:
Mascagni is at work upon a new
opera to be called Iris" The work
will be purely Japanese in character
and 0Iascagni in his new music had
endeavored to reproduce the peculiar
tone effects of Japanese Instruments
He spends the entire day in the cele-
brated instrumental collection of Baron
Kraus.
The problem to present to the public
a scene containing music that would
be attractive to the European ear and
lose nothing in Japanese originality
has proved physical torture to Mas
cagni The plot is as follows;
A simple, charming, sweet tempered
young girl is left with an old blind
father. The girl appears leading her
parent into the garden where he NUT
terS his morning prayer, while she wa
ters the flowers. The chorus of the
"Musume" greets the rising sun and
then betakes itself to a gentle rivulet
that meanders through the landscape.
The prince Of the neigh bOrhOOd hears
of the charms and purity of Iris and by
his orders Tsikamati abductS her from
her home and conveys her to a house of
i'll repute where her broken hearted
father finds her. Believing she has en-
tered upon her new life voluntarily, he
prOnOunceS a curse upon her. She is
at last free from her terrible surround
ings, a fugitive, still pure but near to
deaths door The curse is upon her
and on the steps of a temple where she
has taken final refuge, amid the solemn
music of priests and tOlling of bells,
Iris sings her last song and dies.

LONG-STANLEY COMBINE.
A Seventh Kansas District Agreement
to Overcome A P. A. Opposition.

Wichita, Jan. 13.-W. E. Stanley of
Wichita has decided to make a fight
for the Republican nomination for gov
ernor and has come to an understand
ing with Chester /. Long and his sup
porters in Barber and Kingnan cOun-
ties
This arrangement for mutual sup
port. necessary on Longs part on ac-
count of the A. P. A fight on him in
Sedgwick county and the statement OF
C. H Luling, a Republican politician Of
Wichita and president OF the A L. A
state league, that every council in the
Seventh district will be instructed to
work for Longs defeat. After Long,
refusal to indOrse Newt Br1dgeman,
the A p A. candidate for the Wlch-
tia postoffice, Luling gave it out that
Long would never be nominated again
if the A. P. A. could defeat him. This
movement also helps Long to get rid
of ex-senator o. H. Bentley as can
didate for congress.
Bentley was in fair way, by unit
ing the A P. A. element in Wichita
with the disgruntled politicians who
were turned down in pOstOfhce fights,
to secure a delegation from Sedgwick
county which would be against Long,
if not for Bentley
Judge BOtkin has come from Hutch
insOn several times to confer with
Bentley and together they have pol
ished the situation down to naming the
men who will be anti-LOng delegates
from all the counties in Botkin's, as
weu as judicial district, and from Re
no and Sedgwick counties. Long 5
agreement with the Stanley men IS MS
first movement to hedge
A. c. Jordon of Lyons writes to H.
F. Goode of Wichita that J. w. Brink
erhof of Rice county has determined
not to enter the race for congress in the
Seventh district.
This leaves the race in the Seventh
congressional district confined to three
candidates-Chester I. Long of Barber
county, TheodOsius Botkln OF Reno
county and o. H. Bentley of Sedgwick
county.
Bentley will go into the convention
with the solid support of Sedgwick
county. whose warning factions he can
unite.
John D. Mnliken of Mcpherson coun-
ty. who was here today, gives it out
that there is decided opposition in that
county to Long.
