ment's Alaska relief expedition, with 591
reindeer and 113 Laplanders, which left
New York last Tuesday, March 1, at {
p. M, over the Pennsylvania road to Chi
cago, where it took the ST. Paul & Mil
waukee to this city, here transferring to
the Great Northern for the rest of the
land Journey reached here at $50 this aft
ernoon, having made the unprecedented
time for a freight train of six days from
coast to coast, including all stops for feed
Ing, watering, etc. The actual running time
for the 1892 miles was 129 hours, nearly
twenty-five miles an hour for the entire
distance. There were nineteen cars in each
of the two sections of the special" so that
the time seems the more remarkable. Ev-
erything passed off in good shape the
travel over the mountains being especially
well handled, while smoothness of run
ming was reported by those in charge as
being generany noticeable. The reindeer all
stood the journey well. The Laplander
children kept the measles with them all the
way from New York, reaching Seattle with
the whole twenty-six suffering from that
disease.

LONDON, March THE House of Lords
was unusually crowded to-day The peer
esses' gallery was full and there were many
members of the House of Commons pres
emit when Lord Roberts, commander of the
forces in Ireland, made his expected speech
in favor of forward policy on the Indian
frontier, putting forward the Russian peril
and declaring that the policy of noninterfer-
ence with the frontier tribes had been a
complete failure. The speaker advocated
the advance of British rule across the
mountains and traced the advance of Rus
sla, saying that if she once crossed the Hin
doo-Koosh an attack upon India was only
a matter of time
The Earl of Onslow. under secretary for
India, replied, pointing out the enormous
cost of Lord RobertS's policy, which. he said,
would impede the internal progress of In
Ola. He thought the dread Russian specter
hardly justified. The ultimate destiny of
the tribes was civilization, but the moment
was inoppOrtune to hasten it. The Mar
quiS of Lansdowne, secretary of state for
war, said the governments policy was to
keep the main pass open and to establish
control over the tribes, with a minimum
interference in their domestic affairs. After
further discussion the House of Lords ad-
journed

SAN FRANCISCO, March 7.-Mabel
Heating, known from New York to San
Francisco as the Queen of Pickpockets,
was shot and fatally wounded by Jerry Sui
lvan, a City Hall janitor, in the saloon of
her husband, who also received bullet
from the same pistol. Sullivan entered
Keating's saloon and called for a drink.
Before serving him Heating demanded pay
ment of a bill alleged to be due. Sullivan
made an insulting reply, which brought
Mrs. Heating to the front. Her remarks
enraged Sullivan, who drew a revolver and
shot her in the left breast, infiicting a NOR
tai wound. Sullivan then turned his revolt
yer on her husband and sent a bull
let through the back of his neck.
The wound is not considered dam

tees at the worlds fair in Chicago.

Scene I'm the Commou..

LONDON, March 7.-There was little
scene in the House of Commons tonight
during the discussion of the grant for the
relief of distress in Ireland. Mr.. John Swift
MacNeil, anti-Parnellite member for South
Donegal, charged the government with
having tried toward the end Of last sum-
mer to check American donations. He
quoted a telegram from Earl Cadogan,
lord lieutenant of Ireland, to the CORE
spondent of a New York newspaper, in sup
port of his statement.
Gerald Balfour, chief secretary to the
lord lieutenant, interposGd: mo, no; moth
ing of the kind The object Of the telegram
was to check exaggerated accounts of the
distress"
Mr. MacNeil repeated that the govern
ment had tried to paralyze American as
sistance in order to increase the distress
and bring the Irish people into the power
of the landlords. He asserted that Peel pro-
NOTED the Irish famine of 1S47 in order to
remove the surplus population. and he de-
manded a reply from the chief secretary.
Mr.. Balfour declined to reply, saying that
the speech of the honorable member for
South Donegal answered itself.

correspondent of the Globe the Liberal

to the passage of the Alaskan homestead
law by the United States and the conces-
sions to be asked from Canada in return
for the privilege of bonding goods at Fort
Wrangell, says: The answer of our gov
eminent to tae remarkable legislation
passed by TIE Senate at Washington on
Friday should it receive the Presidents
sanction, will be a courteous reminder that
we intend to navigate the Stikeen under
the treaty rights, which give us this priv
ilege forever. The bill adopted in effect
gives us the right to enter goods at
Wrangel and transship in bond only on
certain impossible conditions, among them
that we shall allow all American miners
entering the Yukon to carry in half ton
OF food, clothing and plant free of duty;
that We shall allow American fishermen
the right to purchase bait in our ports; that
we shall give American railways beginning
at Dyea and Skaguay and desiring to build
through British territory; that we shall is
sue miners licenses a points convenient for
United States citizens. There is not petty
South American State that would allow it
self to be held up in this manner, and there
is a good deal of scornful amusement

mands of the United States Senate 1t

at Washington as plainly as diplomatic
words can intimate it, that Canada will

OTTAWA, Ont, March THE report that
the Dominion government intends sending
a military expedition to the Yukon is not
altogether accurate. What the government
is contemplating is to send out men and
officers of the permanent corps to the Klon-
dixie in future, instead Of taking away the
mounted police, which would necessitate
engaging new policemen. In this way a
saving can be effected and the permanent
corps can have little experience at rough
ing it in the West instead of laying in
idleness in the garrisoned cities.
