A WIRE TO DAWSON.
Telegraph Line to Be Established at
Once by Canada

Ottawa, Ont, March 9Th govern
ment has decided to construct a tele-
graph line to the Klondike territory. The
plan is to build a line between Lake
Bennett and Dawson City at once. At
the same time surveyors will leave to
examine the country northward from
Quesnelle, B. c., which is the terminus
of the present government system and
see how to connect with the line to
Dawson The government will retain
the line in it's own possession, having
decided that it is too valuable and too
important from the standpoint of the
national safety to be allowed to go into
any other hands.

but it is doubtful if anyone realizes the

RUSSIA PROTESTING
Against the British Railroad
Loan
In Order to Pick a Quarrel
With the CeIestiaIs.

Pekin, March S.-The italian minister
here, regards as an insult the manner
in which the Tsung Lii Yamen, or Chi
nese foreign office has treated Italy'S
demand for a coaling station at San
Nun bay and a rupture of diplomatic
relations between Italy and China is
probable. 1t is believed Russia has re-
iterated her protest against the British
railroad loan in order to make the con-
tract ground for complaint against the
Chinese and thus seek compensation
