The Canadian Customs Waiver Ap-
plies Only to Goods for Charity,

AN SuStOmS aver AID
plies Only to Goods for Charity.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-It has been
discovered, on a careful inspection of
the permit granted by the British gov
eminent for the taking of supplies into
the Klondfke country free of duty
that the exemption extends only to
such goods as are gratuitously distrib-
uted. Under the terms of the act of
congress the secretary of war is per-
mltted to give supplies to such per-
sons as are unable to pay for them,
but the act seems to require that
where the miners are able to pay for
food, the money is to be applied to de-
fray the expenses of the relief expe-
d1uons. A strict Interpretation of the
permit would not sanction this action
Still, as the permit was in the shape
of letter from Sir Julian Pauncefote
the British ambassador here, trans
hitting Geographic acquiescence by
the governor general of Canada, and
since it was sent the Canadian secre-
tary of interior having conferred with
Acting Secretary Meiklejohn with a
full knowledge of the intention of the
war department, it is believed that the
Canadian government will not inter-
pose any objection to our government
recOuping itself as far as possible by
selling supplies at cost to miners able
to pay for them.
1t appears that the plan of using
RENDERS as means of transportation
does not promise success, owing to the
inability of the government agent, Mr.
Kjellman, to get the animals from Lap
land in time to be of service this win
ter. 1t is the present purpose of the
war department. therefore, to push
through with the mule pack trains as
far as possible, and old campaigners
assert that they can get to Fort Sell
kirk at least, leaving the RENDERS to
follow up the trail if they come along
at all. The deer would be of the great
est use if they can be gotten through
to Dawson, even without a pack load,
as they can be slaughtered for fresh
meat.

Kansas City, Aug. 3.-All doubts which
existed as to the formation of the new
Transmissouri Passenger association are
vanishing, and it is now regarded as
sure thing by a number of local railroad
men. Officials of the various roads avail
able for this organization, about fifteen in
number, have been invited to attend
meeting to be held at Omaha next We'd
nesday for the purpose of taking some
definite steps toward the organization of
the new association.
There were rumors some three weeks
ago that the Union Pacific, which was
formerly in the Western Passenger asso-
citation. would become a member, but it is
now said that this road is one of the lead
ers in the movement to form another as
sociatiOn.
In the territory of this sociatiOn would
be three of the principal cities of the mid
die west, Kansas City, Denver and Oma-
ha. OF these three cities Kansas City is
undoubtedly the place for the headquar-
tiers of the new association to be located
1t has been said that meetings would be
held at all three places, but this would be
impracticable, as in all associations of
this nature one place is selected for the
chairmans office to be located, and local
offices are maintained at the other cities.
There are many reasons why Kansas
City is the best place for the location of
the chairman's office, one of which is
that al business going from the east to
the proposed new territory comes through
Kansas City, which is recognized as the
gateway to the west as well as to the
east.

STRAUSS CONFIRMED.
Council Ratifies Police Appointments
Made by the Mayor.

The police appointments were con-
f1rmed by the city council though some
unexpected opposition to Police Judge
Ferry was developed and he went in
by a vote of four TO six.
The fight on Judge Ferry was led by
Councilman Skinner and it took place
at an executive session. He based his
opposition on the ground that when
Judge Ferry served as police judge two
years ago he ignored a committee of
the council that was appointed to in
vestigate the police affairs.
The vote on the confirmation of Judge
Ferry was: Aye-Burgess, Drew, War
ner, ROundtree, Morgan, Elliott. No
Benson, Blossom, Dickinson and Skin
ner.
Chief Strauss had less opposition. The
two Democratic members, Benson and
Blossom voted against his confirmation
and Councilman Morgan was excused
from voting.
There was no opposition to the con-
frmatiOn of Sergeants Owens and Don
Ovan.
The patrolmen were not confirmed as
it was not deemed necessary.
