Customs Regulations at Dyea.

Ottawa, Feb. 17.-Mr. McInnis, of
British Columbia, speaking in the house
of commons, asked if the government
was aware that the United States au-
thorities at Skagway and Dyea continue
to compel all purchasers of Canadian
goods to take an official escort while
crossing the disputed territory and to
pay Sc per day for such escort. Mr..
McInnis also wanted to know if some
arrangement had not been made be-
tween the United States and Canadian
governments doing away with this ''in-
tolerable discrimination"
Premier Laurier, in reply, said that
the arrangement referred to was an Off
cial one, and consisted of an under
standing that regulations should be
issued by the secretary of the treasury
which would render effective the privi-
leges of bonding Canadian goods over
United States territory at Dyea and
Skagway. These regulations, he said,
had been issued, though they had not
yet been officially communicated to the
Canadian government. He believed
the regulations would prove satisfactory
to Canada.

Spain Will Disavow 1t.

New York, Feb. 16.-The World g
Madrid correspondent describing the
formal statement of regret at the CEN
sure of De Lome's conduct, which he
says is about to be made by Foreign
Minister Gullon, says the statement
will be in the form of note in reply
to communication from the Ameri-
can government, and will set forth
the substance of what the foreign
minister said in an interview
with United States Minister
| Woodford, February 10, when the
latter submitted the note from the
government at Washington informing
the Madrid government of Senor de
Lome's offense and requesting his re-
call.
The cabinet had supposed that the
prompt acceptance of Senor de Lome's
resignation would be sufficient satisfac-
| tion for America, the writing of the
letter to Canalejas not being an official
but purely private offense. Conse-
quently the telegram from New York
representing that the United States
government expected further satisfac-
| ton for the minister's conduct was a
surprise.
1t has been arranged that the new
| Spanish minister shall arrive in Wash.
ington before the arrival of the dele
gates form Spain, Cuba and Porto Rico,
appointed to participate in the drafting
| of a commercial treaty, which Premier
Sagasta considers to be of the very
highest Importance.
ALI rumors about the sending of
Spanish ironclads and torpedo-boats to
Cuban waters are premature.
spaniards Said to Have Opened Letters
New York, Feb. let is now
known on the highest authority that
the real reason for sending the torpedo
boat Cushing to Havana was that the
authorities have been tampering with
the mail sent to the battle-ship Maine
in Havana harbor, says the Washington
correspondent of the Herald. This re-
suited in Captain Sigsbee, of the
Maine, sending protest to Washing
ton, with the suggestion that a regular
service be established between Key
West and Havana by means of torpedo
boats. On the strength of this protest
the Gushing was sent to Havana.
Although it has been freely reported
that official mail has been tampered
with in the past, Secretary Long said
last night that he had received no re-
ports from Captain Sigsbee saying that
the Spanish authorities had interfered
with his letters in any way.
The dispatch Of the Cushing to
Havana" he said twas in line with
the departments action in sending the
Maine on friendly visit to that port
and the Montgomery to Santiago de
Cuba. expect she is now on her way

Resignation Considered Enough.
Madrid, Feb. 16.-The note from
Minister Woodford demanded that
Spain should formally disavow the in
suits to President Mckinley contained
in Senior de Lome's letter to Senior
Canalejas. The cabinet council today,
it is reported, decided unanimously
to reply to Minister Woodford that
Senor de Lome's spontaneous resigna

RAILWAY IN WHITE PASS.
English Company to Build From Head

of Lynn Canal to Lake Bennett.
Montreal, Feb. 17.-C. II. Wilkin-
son, representing the British Yukon
Company, says the construction of a
railroad through White pass, from the
head of Lynn canal to Lake Bennett,
will be begun Immediately by his COM
pany. The road, which will be As
miles in length, will be completed
within 90 days of the beginning of the
work.
The British Yukon Company, OF
which the Duke of Teck is president,
also holds charter from the Dominion
government for the construction of the
road through White pass. The an
nouncement, some weeks ago, of the
governments having negotiations with
Messrs. Mann and Mackenzie, deter
mined the British Yukon Company to
build the road over White pass at once.
The width of the track will be three
feet six inches. The grade over the
pass will be three per cent, and at
points where the grade is the steepest
what is known as the ga B. T." rail
will be laid. This rail, which is used
in the Hartz mountains in Europe, has
notches for the grip to cog wheel, and
is part of the locomotive. Mr.. Will
kinson says the road will be completed
by the middle of the summer.

Considerable excitement was caused
among the members of the house today
by the rumor broadly circulated before
the house convened that important ac-

foreign affairs committee last week
calling on the state department for in
formation as to the condition Of the
concentrates in Cuba and the progress
made in Spain's effort to induce the
Cubans to accept autonomy. The reso-

Another resolution was adopted calling
for the correspondence relating to the
exclusion of our fruits, beef and horses
from Germany. The remainder of the

REPORTS CALLED FOR.
Morgan Desires Full Information Re
garding Cuban Matter.


Washington, Feb. 16.-During the
short open session of the senate today
two phases of the Cuban question were
adverted to briefly. The amendment
of Aiie.ay,tt Alien to the diplomatic AMI consular
appropriation biil recognizing the bel
ligerency of Cuba was. reported ad-
versely by the foreign relaSiGEns cGlnn-- cGGlnn--
mittee, not, as Morgan explained, on
the merits of the amendment, but be-
cause the committee did not approve of
tacking such legislation to appropria-
tion bills.
Morgan's restriction calling upon
the president for the reports of United
States consuls IN Cuba and for infor-
nation as to whether any agent of 'the
autonomous government in Cuba had
been accredited to this government
and recognized by it, was adopted
without dissent. A feature of the ses-
sion was speech in advocacy of the
free coinage of standard silver dollars
by Allen. During the remainder of
the afternoon the senate was in ex-
ecutive session.

The stock so sold in the open market was
taken by the management of the COM
pany, and 1t brought about Sll0 share.
THE negotiations for the plug combi-

cause of the efforts of the contributing

excess Of the actual value of the plants
so contributed. But the negotiations were
again taken up.
The stock advanced upon the notoriety
of the fresh negotiatios to $3.50 a share
a price not warranted by the actual sit

of the stock rested in the hands of d
half dozen individuals. who for months
had conferred together respecting the
continued control of the property, al
though no written obligations existed
among them, this price could readily
have been shaded ten points without oc-
