wharf and temporarily lease the gov
eminent land fronting the harbor for
10 years, subject to cancellation at
any time, in order that the Railroad
business might not be hampered
The plans of wharves which the
Railroad Company now urges, or one
similar thereto, was drafted and pre-
scented to me at the time by Mr.. Dill
lingham Then, as now, Mr.. Rowell
preferred the plan which 1 understand
he still prefers-that it is a straight
wharf from near the Lime Kilns to
near the cattle wharf. My belief at
the time, fully expressed to both Mr..
Rowell and Mr.. Dillingham;, was that
Mr.. Dillingham's plan was the best,
that instead of the basin from the
Lime Kilns up to King street bridge
and toward the present cattle wharf
being filed in, it should be eXcavated
making additional harbOr room, and
bv the plan of wharves which Mr.
Dillingham; advocated being adopted,
giving much more frontage than the
straight line plan proposed by Mr.
RoWell. I, at the time, however, told
Mr.. Dillingham; that what I should
advocate would be the condemnation
by the Government and taking from
the Railroad Company all the land
necessary to be so eXcavated and the
frontage back from the water edge
so produced, for not less than 100 feet.
Mr.. Dillingham; replied that the Gov
eminent could, of course, at any time
do so, provided that it pay for the land
so taken.
I do not know what the details are
of the action and litigation as between
the Government and the Railroad Com
pany, but this I do know, that the
Government in attempting to locate a
permanent system of Wharves on the
Eva side of the harbOr and abrogat-
ing the railroad lease and taking pos
session of the strip of land in ques-
ton, is acting upon the exact and pre-
else understanding and agreement en-
tered into between it and the Railroad
Company in 1890 at the time of the
location of the terminal division and
the execution of the lease in question;
that such policy was, although not
what Mr.. Dillingham; then wanted, full
ly and absolutely understood and
agreed to by him.
/ understand from other sources
that my connection with this trans
action has been publicly and adverse
ly commented upon and I think that
am entitled to the publication of
this statement, and 1 hereby request
that you allow publication thereof.

A WOMAN'S LIFE WORK.
DEVOTED TO THE CAUSE OF
SUFFERING HUMANITY.
Utterly Miserable .for. Thirteen Years
Because Of Helpless Inf1rmity-Nov
Able to Help Others.
From the PIaindeaIer, Canton, n. Y.

From the Plaindealer, Canton, n. Y.
To suffer for years with a prevail
ing painful ailment which baffed skill
full medical treatment, yet which was
restored by a simple household remedy,
is the lot which befelI Mrs. Geo. l..
Rogers, of Canton, New York.
Thirteen years ago." said Mrs.
Rogers to a reporter, Il was attacked
with infiammatOry rheumatism and a
complication of diseases. 1 cannot be-
gin to describe my sufferings during
that time. You can judge somewhat
of what 1 endured, when you look at
these hands. They were distorted,
twisted and swollen. My foot too, is
so much out of shape that the big toe
lays across the others, the end touch
ing the little toe. l tried different
doctors and many proprietary RENE
dies, but no permanent benefit was OBJ
tanned. Last March l tried DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and before 1 had
finished the first box l began to feel
that they were doing me good l con-
tinued using them and steadily
grew better. l have used thir-
teen boxes of the pills and to-
day feel better than for the past
fifteen years. MY appetite is good, L
feel bright, cheerful and have a desire
to live and enjoy society. I have been
a member of the Methodist church for
many years, but for six years was I'M
able to attend. l am able now to at
tend the church services regularly and
certainly appreciate that privilege.
consider Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People wonderful medicine and
am confident no, other medicine could
have effected the wonderful cure they
have in my case. I am glad to state
this, hoping that some sufferer may
profit by it and obtain relief.
1t was natures own remedy that ac-
compIished this cure, caused by impure
blood, for DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
composed of vegetable remedies that
exert a powerful influence in purifying
and enriching the blood. Many diseases
long supposed by the medical profess
sion to be incurable have succumbed
to the potent influence of these pills.

NICARAGUA MAY
 BE CALLED DOWN
Has Not the Right to Grant Concessions for Canals
 and Railways.
Violates the Agreement Formally Entered Into With the Maritime
 Company.

Special Dispatch to The Call
 NEW YORK, Jan. D.-A Washington special to the Herald says: If the Near aguan Government should contract with a foreign syndicate for the construction of railroad and steamship lines across its territory. as has been indicated, such ac- ton would authorities say, be in viola ton of the terms of the concession grant ed to the Maritime Canal Company and would probably be resented by the United States.
 Article of the concession to the Mari time Company provides that "the State binds itself not to make any subsequent between the two oceans during the term of the present concession (ninety- nine years), and also to abstain from granting concessions for railroad such as might compete with the canal for the transport alton of merchandise during the same pc riod but nothing in this article shall pre- vent the Government of Nicaragua from constructing or permitting the construc- tion of such railways as 1t may deem ad- visable for commerce and internal traf- fic."
 This same article provides that "said Government shall also nave the right to construct or permit the construction of an interoceanic railway, If in course of time it be demonstrated that the canal is not sufficient to satisfy the demands of traffic of all nations"
 Advocates of the canal. however, say that this provision cannot become applic- able until after the canal has been built and has proved incapable of handling the traffic. Friends of the canal say the first portion of this article shows clearly that Nicaragua has not the right to make any such concession.

BEARS SECRET DISPATCHES. Newspaper Correspondent Wells Will
 Hasten to Washington.

SEATTLE, Jan. 30.-Five Klondikers arrived in Seattle tonight. Four came on the steamship Al-Ki and one on the Rosalie. The latter is F. H. Wells, a representative of several Eastern pa pers, who was the latest to leave Daw- son, having started out December 20.
 MT. Wells is the bearer of important and strictly confidential dispatches from Captain Ray at Fort Yukon to the War Department at Washington. The burden of secrecy imposed upon him may be judged from the fact that he is not at liberty to give even an intima tion of the nature of these dispatches to the very papers which he represents. It Is inferred here that the dispatches bear on the food situation in the North west Territory and the importance of an adequate national guard on the Yu- kon.
 The most important news item brought out by MT. Wells is that Major Walsh, the Canadian Gold Commits sioner at Big Salmon, issued positive and peremptory orders that no Klon- dikers be admitted from the coast to points on the Yukon in British terri tory unless they were supplied with at least 1000 pounds of food each. exclu- sive of tea and coffee. This order was made effective January 15. Major Walsh since that date turned back few people and many others now cross ing the divide will be stopped by him.
 MT. Wells declares that the number that have come out over the trails is less than has been supposed; further more that only 401 persons had passed Major Walsh up to January Is on their way out to the coast, whereas it was currently believed in Dawson that at least 1000 people had left their camp to come out.
 In common with many of the best-in- formed men who have recently come out of the Klondike, Mir. Wells is very positive in his conviction that the sup ply of food will run extremely low along the Yukon before the ice breaks in the spring SO as to admit passage of steamers up from St. Michael. While he is very conservative in his state ments, he asserts that if no food supply is carried in there will be positive suf- fering, not only at Dawson but along the Yukon and on the trail.
 The four Klondikers who arrived on the Al-Ki were: Homer Morris of Chi cago; George Barrick, Cripple Creek, Colo; s. A. James. Kansas City, and J. E. Dousey, Stamford, Conn. They left Dawson on December 14 They report that between 150 and 200 men will ar rive here from Dawson within the next six weeks. When they left they sold their provisions at an average of eighty cents a pound. Dousey carried a sack of nuggets weighing thirty-five pounds.

Coming Trial of Officers Who Shot Down
 Strik CTS.
Attorneys Engaged to Aid in the Prosecution Of Sheriff
 and Deputies.
They Merely Carried Out Their Sworn Duty.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Jan. 30.-The case of Sheriff James Martin and his eighty deputies, charged with murder and felonious wounding of a score of striking miners at Latimer, this county, September 10 last, will be called for trial in the Criminal Court next Tues day, February l. It is expected that the trial will last a week and it may be longer before a verdict Is reached. Dis trict Attorney Martin will be assisted in the prosecution by Joseph M. Gar man, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, and John McGuthrin. They are employed by the relatives of men who were killed.
 John T. Lenahan, one of the leading criminal lawyers of this section 1r the State, will be senior counseI IJr the de- fense. The first battle will be over the selection of a jury. More than a hun dred witnesses have been subpenaed, but not all of them will be heard.
 The commonwealth will claim that the strikers were only exercising their rights as American freemen when they marched on the public highway un- armed. It will be contended that they were not lawless, that they had offered no personal violence to anyone, and that they were not bent on destroying property. The lawyers for the prosecu- tion will quote decisions from the higher courts to show that such a body of men had a right to move on the public highway while engaged in a peaceful mission. On the other hand counsel for the defense will charge that the strikers were riotous; that they were armed, and that their intention was to destroy property. They will call witnesses to show that the people Hv- ing in the strike district were fearful for their lives and that some of them moved away fer safety. It will also be shown that the Sheriff had come in conflict with the strikers at Hazelton on the morning of September 10, and that he then and there warned them by reading the riot act that they were violating the law and that they should disperse and go to their homes. In- stead of accepting this advice they jeered the officer of the law and pro- ceeded on their march to Latimer.
 The Latimer mine was in operation, the employees had no grievance so far as known, and it will be averred the only object the strikers could have had in going there was to intimidate the men. The owners of the mine had ap- pealed to the Sheriff to protect their property. and in attempting to do his sworn duty in the matter his deputies came in conflict with the strikers and bloodshed was the result. The defense will contend that this was the most natural thing in the world. and that, under the circumstances, 1t would be a travesty of justice to hold the officers of the law guilty of murder.

TRAMWAY OVER CHILCOOT.
Time Between Tidewater and the Lakes Considerably Shortened.

TACOMA, Jan. 30-Hugh c. Wallace, president of the Chilcoot Railroad and Transportation Company, has advices of the completion of the company's aerial tramway over Chilcoot Pass in Alaska The company's system Is a railroad from Dyea to Canon City; thence a system of aerial tramways over Chilcoot Pass to Lake Linder- man. This marks a new era for Klon- dike travel The time between tide water and the headwaters of the Yu- kon River Is shortened from a month to one day, besides removing peril and hardship.
 The company made a contract last night with the Canadian Government at 15 cents a pound for transporting all its freight for the mounted police from Dyea to Lake Linderman.

HAL HOFFMAN.
WILL TAKE RELIEF SUPPLIES.
Steamship George ". Elder to Carry the Government Expedition.

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. S0 The steamer Elwood. laden with Govern ment equipments and forage for the Alaska relief expedition. is lying at the wharf at Vancouver Barracks, ready to transfer her freight to the steamer George w. Elder, when she arrives from Alaska tomorrow. The Elder is scheduled to sail again on February 1. She will carry the escort of sixty en- listed men and 150 tons of supplies, and the steamer Signal. which sails from Seattle on February 2. will carry 11O pack animals, twenty-four men and a portion of the relief supplies.
 General Merriam, commanding the Department of the Columbia. has de- cided upon landing the entire expedi- tion at Dyea, and pushing forward over the Chilkoot Pass as fast as possible. He has notified the Chicago Snow and Ice Transportation Company, which has the contract to transport supplies from Dyea to the interior, that it's train must be ready to receive freight by February 15 at Dyea.
 General Merriam is working out a plan to ascertain the number of people and the amount of supplies that will enter Alaska this summer. Speaking of this matter to-day. he said:
 From present indications, greater relief expedition will be needed next winter than this winter. Hundreds are already embarking for the gold fields without more than sufficient supplies to last during the summers prospect ing. It appears that thousands more are on the way in a similar condition. While many may come out at the end of the season, others will stay with the hope of purchasing supplies The re- suit may be disastrous. Therefore, 1t is
