gathered from other correspondence
that the relations between the North

closer in the future than in the past
but that the Northern Pacific would
have the controlling voice in the man
agement of the Montana Union. though
the latter would maintain an indepen-
dent management. Further than that

REM0DELlNG THE BILL.
senate Committee at Work on the Alas
kan Land Problem

kan Land Problem
Washington, Feb. 12.-The senate
committee on public lands spent the
entire day remodeling the bill granting
the right of way to the highways
through Alaska territory. The scope of
the bill has been extended so as to
make it practically a general measure,
covering public land problems in
Alaska and some of the matters consid-
cred are even outside of public land
questions. Notably so is a proposition
looking 10 the extension of the bonded
districts for Canadian goods.
The Canadians are asking this gov
ernment To extend the bonded limit up
the Stickeen river to Granola. and an
amendment has been postponed which
would make the granting of this re-
quest dependent upon the aeaniescence
of the Canadian government in the re-
quests of American citizens for right
of-way for railroads into the K1ondike
country which would connect with
American steamship lines ut American
ports, which they have SO far refused.
1t is believed to be the purpose of the
Canadians to build railroad from
Granola to Lake Teslin and there con
meet directly with the steamers for
Dawson City, and there is understood
to be bill pending in the Canadian
parliament for the chartering of this
project Some of the members of the
committee think the privilege of the
extension of the bonded limits should
not be granted except for reciprocal ia
Nurs from Canadians.
Another important amendment which
has been offered is one prohibiting the
manufacture, Importation and sale of
Intoxicating liquors within the terri
tory of Alaska.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept, General
Lawton, commanding the Department

the Cuban leaders. Cabreco, Lacret and

ANNUAL PENSION REPORT.
Some Facts and Figures Which It
Will Cover.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The forthcom-
ing annual report CT the commissioner
of pensions will show that the number
of pensions allowed during the past
fiscal year, including the war Of 1872,
was 56,737, OF which 1882 were for
soldiers and 1855 for sailors.
-Four widows were reinstated and two
promoted, and Ga orphans and relatives
of soldiers were reinStated. One hum
dred and thirty-nine ex-union soldiers
were reinstated and 279 promoted. The
number of pensioners on the rolls on
June 80, 1885, was 993, ia; amount paid
for pensions during the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1898, S144, 651, 1873; average
value of each pension, $131.79.
Comparisons show that more pen
sions for services in the war of the re-
bellion were granted during the last
fiscal year than were allowed during
the entire four years of Grants sec
ond term and the entire administration
of President Hayes; that the amount
actually paid for army and navy pen
sions during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1898, was largely in excess of
the amount paid either in the first or
second term of President Grants adj
ministration and almost as much as
was paid during the entire four years
of President Hayes administration.

SOLDIERS KILLED IN BATTLE
And Those Who Died of Disease Dur
the War

Chicago. Sept. 1.-The Tribune tomor-
row will print statistics showing the
number of soldiers who have been
killed in battle and have died of disease
in camps during the war with Spain.
The Tribune says: While $50 officers
and men have been killed in battle or
died OF wounds received. there have
died of disease in camps between 1,200
and 1000 volunteers and regulars.
The Tribune has secured the names
of 12S4 who died in camp or on trans
ports. or at home after contracting the
malarial Fever at one of the camps.
There is no doubt about the 1.1S4
whose names have been secured.
Neither is there much doubt that there
are hundreds of dead whose names
could not be secured on account of lack
of records and the inability or the I'M
willingness of army officers to furnish
lists of dead.
The Tribune gives the following sta
tistics of dead in each camp, giving in
every instance full list of names and
the nature of the disease. The report

After a long trial. in February last,
NJ. lola was sentenced to one years
Imprisonment and to pay fine of 5000
francs for these alleged nbels, and NJ.
Perreux, manager of the Aurore, was
sentenced to four months imprison-
ment and to pay a fine of 5000 francs.
On his way to and from the court house
during the trial, NJ. lola was contin-
ually hcoted by mobs, and at its con-
clusion, narrowly escaped personal viO-
lence. When the French author heard
the verdict, he exclaimed, They are
cannibals."
General Boisdeffre, the chief of the
general staff of the French army, who
has just resigned, is understood to be
in high favor at st. Petersburg. He
gained considerable popularity by his
attitude in defense of the army during
the ZGla trial. and at one time was
looked upon as possibly aiming at a
dictatorship.
Prince Henry of Orleans, who is &C
credited with hoping for a military
against the French republic,
also tried to make capital out of the
trial. He showed himself daily in the
hall of the court house, and one day
embraced Major Esterhazy, another of
he French officers implicated in the
scandal, crying, '.Vive Parmee," which
aroused enthusiasm among his Orlean-
st friends. but which did not otherwise
excite the crowd present to any de-
gree.

SOME PENSION FIGURES
STATEMENT CT THE COMPTROL-
LER OF TREASURY.
How the Decrease In the Public
Debt Is Accounted For-Less Cash
In Treasury, We Owe Over Bill
lion-Receipts and Expenditures
of Government.

Washington. Sept. 1.-The monthly
statement of the public debt, issued to-
day, shows that on Aug. 81 the public
debt, less cash in the treasury, was
S1,012, 47O,717, which is a decrease for
the month of s34,7S9,711. This decrease
is accounted for by a corresponding in
crease in the cash on hand, due to the
receipts from the war loan The DEBT
is recapitulated as follows:
Interest-bearing debt, 1922, 212, 800;
debt on which interest has ceased since
maturity, 1,259, 030; debt bearing no in
terest, $3.50, 1856, 971; a total of $780,, 3d.
sol. This amount, however, does not
include $55S,046,933 in certificates and
treasury notes outstanding, which are
offset by an equivalent amount OF cash
in the treasury. The cash in the treas
ury is classified as follows: Gold, $685.,
377, 493; silver, s513, 400, 094; paper, $685.
0S4, 055; bonds national bank depositor-
les. ETC., SCI, 2S2, POI; aggregate, $927,-
IA, 646.
. Against this aggregate there are out
standing demand liabilities amounting
to $632, 657 ,561, which leaves a net cash
balance in the treasury of 1924, 4S7, 0S4.
Washington, Sept. 1.-The monthly
statement of receipts and expenditures
of the government for August shows
that the receipts from all sources ag-
gregated SAL, 7S2, 707, an increase of $22,-
,093 over August, 1897. The receipts
from the several sources of revenue fol-
low:
Customs, s16,249, 6s9; internal revenue,
$24, 015, 934; miscellaneous, $1.517,073.
The expenditures for the month ag-
gregated s56, 260,7 III, an increase of $22.-
672,670. The heavy increase on both
sides of the ledger are due to the war
on the one side and the
revenue law on the other.
