PARIS, Feb. 21-The government
has no news Of the French having
crossed the Niger into the Sokoto coun-
try, and it is added any such unau-
thorized movement would be disavow
ed by the government.
A semi-official note issued this after
noon says it is quite untrue that
French forces have entered the Sokoto
region, and that the story is merely a
revival Of an exploded rumor.
LONDON, Feb. 21.-Great activity Is
manifested by the colonial office, the
West African department, and among
the higher military officers who are
going out to the Lagos Hinterland.
The latter are inclined to discredit the
news which reached Akassa, Niger
coast protectorate, yesterday, to the
effect that two French expeditions are
advancing towards Sokoto, capital of
the sultanate of that name, which is
within the British sphere of influence,
but adds that If the news should be
confirmed, it must be followed by a
declaration of war.
The st. James Gazette this afternoon,
commenting on the subject, says: eff

CHICAGO. Feb. 21-A boycott has

Western Immigrant bureau, but 1t has
been CURLY informed that on account
OF its Ignoring the rules of the clearing
house and the course it has seen fit to

The notice is emphasized by the fact
that the transatlantic steamship COM
panies landing at New York and Bos-
ton, which are under agreement to sup
port the Western roads in the matter,
have sent instructions to all their
agents not to ticket any business over
the Canadian Pacific in either direc-
ton.
Many of the agents of the Canadian
Pacific in the Northwest were also
agents Of the steamship companies and
their agencies have been Cancelled.
This will be a severe blow to the Cana
dian Pacific as 1t will prevent it getting
any immigrant traffic at either or the
two ports named. 1t will have to be
content with what 1t gets at the Cana

it is believed it will be, it will be of
immense advantage to the American
