KIOVDJKE AND CONSTJTTTJOT

The KlOndkc gold fields have brought much
wealth TO the Dominion of Canada. and not a
little trouble with IT, The controversies over
royalties and customs duties and the disputed
boundary of the Alaska panhandle may he dis
missed with scant consideration as susceptible
Of easy settlement. But the transportation
question Is Of the first magnitude in Itself, and
has been made to involve a constitutional ques-
ton which may shake the political fabric OF the
Dominion. Many plans for railroads into the
Kondike region have been proposed by many
routes. Most of them have provided for pas
sage across both Alaskan and Canadian soil
These are not acceptable TO Canadians. for OBJ
vous reasons. At least two schemes have been
put forward for all-Canadian lines, and there
has been strong and natural desire that one
Of them should be sanctioned by the Govern

them and put through the House Of Commons
a bill charterlng and substituting it. But now
the Senate, in which the Opposition has n large
majority. has rejected It,

But perhaps some other arrangement can be
made by which the road can be built. What
most concerns the Dominion IL the conflict
which Is thus raised between the two Houses
Of Parliament. There Is n feeling that the

The blowing up of the Maine in the
Havana harbor seems to cut very little
figure in President McKinley's message
to congress. He does not say that he
would favor the submission OF that ques.
tion to board OF arbitration but he
gives particular prominence to the fact
of SPANS willingness to settle tie ques-
ton by arbitration. The failure OF the
message to make any recommendations
whatever on this question, 80 closely al
