II. Maitland kersey Has Been Success
full in Financing 1t in England.
MONTREAL, Que, Jan. 27.-H. Matt
land Kersey, who recently resigned as
the New York representative of the
White Star line in order to go into gold
mining, has just returned here from
England, where he fioated the British
Yukon Exploration company with great
success. This, it is stated, is one of the
most influential mining and exploring
Syndicates yet formed in England. Mr..
Kersey states that steamers are now be-
ing constructed in England for use on
the Yukon river and Teslin lake. These
steamers, which are so constructed that
they can be shipped in sections, will be
placed on Canadian Pacific steamers
and proceed to the Klondike country
by way Of Cape Horn. L. 2. Letter of
Chicago is one of the hackers Of this
syndicate.

Stated That a Company of Ohio and New
York Capitalists Will Bald 1t.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The Herald
correspondent with the Nicaragua
canal commission, advises under date
of Managua, Jan. IS:
"The canal commission cabled to
Washington two days ago as follows:
The canal of Nicaragua is practicable
for less than three quarters of the orig
inal estimate. Four and half to six
and half years are required to build
it. Four thousand eight hundred la
borers are needed to commence work.
These should be divided into four
groups. This number of men should
be doubled within three months.
This reply was received by the COM
mission: A com pany in Ohio and New
York has been duly formed to engage
men from Puerto Barrios, Jamaica,
Belize and Nicaragua.
The Herald's correspondent adds that
each of the 10 engineers with the COM
mission represents big syndicate, each
one fighting to get the contract, but
the Ohio and New York millionaires
have secured it.

Success Of the Dispatching Of
the Maine to Havana Is
Gratifying
Assembling of Warships of Other
Nations There Makes a Pro-
. test Difficult.
Spanish Newspapers Make Ugly
Comments but Sagasta Says
1t Is All Right.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The latest
advice received here from Havana is
cablegram from Consul General Lee,
dated $50 p. II. He said;
"Have just received visit from the
commander of the Maine and will re-
turn it tomorrow. He had already re-
turned official visits of Spanish and
other naval vessels. Nd disorders of
any sort"
The officials here are Pleased at the
success attending their movement in
patching the Maine tb Havana, and
at the reception accorded the ship at
that port. The report thu British and
French warships are to Join the Amer
lean and German wa1ships in Ha-
vana harbor, are regrrded here as
highly favorable although no official
notice of such intentions on the part of
the British and French governments
has been received. The presence OF
vessels of these nationali1es along with
the United States warship will go far,
it is believed, to convince the people OF
Havana and Madrid that there is no
sinister purpose in the Mines arrival,
while it will make it exceedingly diff
cult for the Spanish COVER nment to find
any reasonable ground for complaint
against the United States government
without laying itself open to the charge
of discrimination, since the same OBJ
lection must lie against the presence
of the warships of any or all nations.

OBNOXIOUS REGULATIONS.

Taiya and <aguay Pass In R.taiiatton.
TORONTO, o., Jan. 27.-It looks as II
there may be some difficulty regarding
the passage of goods from Eastern Can
ada to the gold fields of the Yukon.
The Toronto board of trade received
this telegram from the British Colum.
bia board OF trade:
Urge the Dominion government to
close Taiya and Skaguay pass until sat-
isfactory arrangements are put into ef-
feet by the United States government
for the passage OF Canadian goods
through the disputed territory. Only
hope of Canadians getting any trade.
Obnoxious regulations still being en-
forced"
President Quincy of the Toronto
board at once wrote as follows to the
government at Ottawa:
II am in receipt of Geographic dis
patch from the board of trade of Vic
toria, B. c., stating that the obnox-
ious regulations instituted by the
United States government affecting
the passage of Canadian goods through
the disputed territory are still in force,
and that their continuance will destroy
the trade of the province with our min
ing territory. The remedy urged of
closing Taiya and Skaguay pass may
not be the only one available, but
have hope that you will find some ef-
fective way of checking this tendency
on the part of our American friends to
interfere with the commercial efforts
we are making IN this territory. I be-
lieve the Dominion government by TAX
ing firm stand now, will avoid intin-
tie trouble in the future"

Monetary Convention Completes
the Work for Which 1t
Was Called.
Work of the Executive Commit
tee Endorsed and the Com
mittee Thanked.
Ex-Secretary Fairchild, Congress-
man Overstreet and Others
Make Addresses.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 27.-The morn
ing session Of the monetary convention
was occupied by speeches from ex-Sec-
rotary Fairchild, Congressman Over.
street and G. G. Homer of Baltimore.
The resolutions adopted recognize the
conventions obligations to the execu-
tive committee and cordially approve
the plan of current reforms submitted
by the committee which is set out as
follows:
l. To remove 1T once and forever,
all doubt as to what the standard of
value in the United States is and is
to be.
g To establish the credit of the
United States at the highest point
among the nations of the world.
8. To eliminate from our currency
system those features which reason and
experience show to be elements of
weakness and danger.
4. TO provide paper currency con-
vertible into gold and equal to it in
value at all times and places, in which,
with a volume adequate to the general
and nsual mems of business. there shall
be com olned a quality Of growth and
elasticity through which it will adjust
itself automatically and promptly to all
variations OF demand, whether sudden
or gradual, and which shall distribute
itself lhroux hout the country as the
wants o. the different sections may re-
quire.
5. To so utilize the existing silver
dollars as to main tain their parity with
gold, without imposing undue burdens
upon the treasury.
6. Toavoid any injurious contra ction
of the currency.
2. To avoid the issue of interest.
bearing bonds, except in case of un-
looked for emergencies; but to confer
the power to issue bonds when neces-
sary for the preservation of the credit
of the government.
s. To accomplish these ends by a
plan which would lead from our pres
ent confused and unceataln system by
gradual and progressive steps without
shock or violent change, to a monetary
system which will be thoroughly safe
and good, and capable of growth to-
any extent that the country may re-
quire.
Approving of the expressed purposes
OF he commission and of it's plan, we
do most earnestly and cordially COM
mend it to our fellow citizens as worthy
of their approval and adoption, and we
urge upon the congress of the United
States that the principles embodied by
the commission in their report should
be enacted into law with the belief and
expectation that the effect would be to
secure a solid, substantial and staple
financial system that would rebound
to the credit OF the country and ensure
a state of prosperity that cannot be
achieved unless there is system of
finance, the integrity and adaptibillty
of which cannot be questioned or gain
said.
At 2 o'clock, after two hours of IA
vorable debate, the resolutions were
unanimously adopted. The convention
adjourned subject to the call of the
executive committee.

SEIZED THE ,BALUCHISTAN.
British Gunboat Captures a Cargo o

British Gunboat Captures a Cargo of
Arms and Ammunit on.
MUscAT, Gulf of Oman, Jan. 81
The British >gunboat Lapwing has
seized the steamer Baluchistan off here,
and her cargo of arms and ammunition
has been confscated. Her cargo is
held by the British consul.
1t is presumable that the cargo of
arms and ammunition seized by the
Lapwing was intended for use of the
insurgents of Baluchistan, who have
recently been giving considerable
trouble to the British.
LONDON, Jan. 27.-The seizure of the
steamer Baluchistan tends to explain
the mystery as to whence the Afridis
secured theil latest style British rifles
The owners of the Baluchistan say
that she has been released and has
proceeded. They add that the arms
were shipped to dozen different Rus
sian firms.

Spanish Warships to Visit Few Ameri-

MADRID, Jan. 27.-The newspapers
generally comment upon Secretary
Longs explanation of the visit of the
United States battleship Maine to Ha-
vana. and agree in expressing the opin-
ion that her visit is "inopportune and
calculated to encourage the insurgents.
1t is announced that following Wash
ington's example, the Spanish govern
ment will instruct Spanish warships
to visit few American ports.
The Epoca asks if the dispatch of the
Maine to Havana is intended as 'tsop
to the jingoes." and adds: 1--WE can.
not suppose the American government
SO naive and badly informed as to
imagine that the presence Of American
war vessels at Havana will be a cause
of satisfaction to Spain or an indication
of friendship" *
Admiral Chacon, the admiral of the
fleet, had a long conference with Ad-
miral Bermejo, the minister of marine.
He asserted that the recent evolutions
had demonstrated the perfect condition
of the fleet. The next cabinet council
will decide which American ports the
Spanish men- of-war are to visit.
The Spanish papers sharply stigma
tie the Maine incident as an 'act of
unwarranted provocation.
NEW YORK, Jan. 81. "A Madrid dis
patch to The World says: The official
intimation of the contemplated visit of
American vessels of war to Havana,
and the presence of the American
squadron in the West Indian waters
has caused sensation and much dis.
pleasure at Madrid, which the press of
all shades of opinion echo with much
bitterness.
Ell impartial calls the conduct of
America, provocation without justifica.
tlon," and recommends Spaniards in
Havana to be prudent and self pos
sessed, and to show disdain and indif-
ference during the stay of the American
vessels. 60.
Sagasta says the Spanish government
attaches no importance to the move
ment of the American ships, ard it is
perfectly aware that President McKin-
ley harbors no designs against the pres
ent cordial. relations between the two
countries. It is easy to see, however,
he says, how politicians and military
men apprehend any demonstration by
the old Spanish party in Havana, on
the occasion OF visit by American
vessels, that would find an echo in the
patriotic feeling and hardly suppressed
irritation against the United States in
Spain.
