move a pound of mail, and lido not be-
lieve he intended to do SO, but simply to
let it coneest at the upper points of the
Yukon and take it by boat down the
river into Alaska in the spring, thus
making a clear profit of the large price
the government was to pay for winter
transportation. Col Steele, in charge
OF the Canadian mounted police, was
the first to move in the matter, and he
perfected an excellent and prompt SER
vice, sending the mail out and in from
Dawson over the ice by dog team,
establishing police and relay stations
all the way up the Yukon from Dawson
to Lake Bennett. But all this, of
course, took time and even then, with
the force of dogs and men at hand, they
could not handle much over the then
regular incoming and outgoing mail,
but that they rushed night and-aay,
and made the almost 800 miles, l be-
lleve in as quick as ten days time. For
this work they have as yet received nc
extra pay, nothing but the well merited
thanks and appreciation of the thous-
ands OF the anterior, thanks that one
official was equal to an emergency, and
met it in the right way. The delayed
mail was still cached on the upper Yu.
kon. or course, a report on the con-
dltion of the affairs, and complaint
against Richardson. the contractor,
reached Washington by special mes
sengers, and the department. took
prompt action, sending a special in
spector with full authority, who reached
Lake Bennett some time late in the
winter. He took possession Of all the
delayed mail and let a contract to new
parties, who rushed it through to Daw-
son and points on the lower Yukon, SO
that while from January to the Spring
breakup of the river the mail came
with something approaching regularity,
the mail of September, October, No
vember and December was not received
until some time in March. But better
late than never.
There are two seasons, of course,
when it is impossible to move the mali;
in the fall, after the ice begins to form
until it freezes solid enough for travel
ing, and in the spring, from the time
the ice begins to soften until the break
up. These are six weeks each. ALI
other times of the year there is no ex-
cuse for anything but prompt move
ment of mail, if the proper preparations
are made for winter travel.
The means of access to Dawson are
now greatly improved and the trip in
and out can be made from Seattle to
Dawson in the average time OF nine or
ten days. Magnificent ocean steamers

THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
With this issue we present to our
readers the first number of our Monthly
Literary Magazine. The REVIEW is so
completely filled with news, that we
have had but little space to devote to
reading for the home circle. Other pa
pers give this, that and the other cheap
magazine as a premium. These maya
zines are supported chiefly by adver-
tisements OF cheap, spurious, catch
penny goods, intended to take money
from the peoples pocket without ade-
quate return.
The REVIEW does not believe in this
class of advertisements and in order to
protect our people from imposition. has
concluded to print its own premium.
The Monthly Magazine will be found
to contain a high grade Of literature.
The first page is devoted to a brief an
nouncement by Haugh s. Kemmfng. u
firm having high reputation for honesty
and fair dealing. The second page
contains q we'll illustrated short. story,
the third page is devoted to the women.
On the fourth and fifth pages Will be
found Rev. Charles Sheldon's great
storp I'm His Steps, or What Would
Jesus Do" This story will be con-
tinued through several numbers. The
sixth page is the Farmers page. 1t
contains practical matter of benefit to
every farmer. The seventh page we
have dedicated TO the little folks. The
REVIEW does not forget that some day
they will be big folks and will take the
REVIEW themselves. The eighth page
closes this splendid library number with
an illustrated short story and good
miscellaneous reading. We are proud
of the magazine and believe our read
ers will agree with III that the REVIEW
fills the whole bill, that it supplies good
reading for every member of the fam
lily. The men interested in politics,
general news and the markets. the la
dies interested in local news, social af-
fairs and fashions, ETC., the young
folks fond of fiction, the little one glad
of stories and pictures. We could not
give such IN up-to.date, we'll rounded
paper for a cheap subscription. The
REVIEW is meant for those, who APP
preciate y good paper. In these days
Of high wages it is a mighty poor man,
who cannot afford to give one days
wages for choice reading for his family
for the entire year.

They are the great filterers Of our

II the kidneys are not in a healthy

AN EXTRA SESSION

it by continuing their opposition to the
bill. Senator Hanna would probably
welcome an extra session. for then he
could pass his shipping subsidy Dill,
which can hardly get through this Con-
gress.
There is not the least doubt now that
an extra session is a certainty under
the conditions which threaten to con-
front the President. Every day he is
besieged by letters from parents and
relatives of volunteer soldiers asking
that men be discharged the service. He
has had to keep many of these reg1-
Inents in service because they could
not be spared. With an increased reg
ular army the volunteers can be mus
tered out and the interests Of the coun-
try Will be protected.
Representative Hepburn Of Iowa had
an extended talk with the President
about the outlook for the passage of
the Nicaragua canal bill. The Pres1-
dent is anxious that something should
be done. He has, however, not ex-
pressed q wish for any certain line of
action. Hepburn believes That the bill
will be passed in the last few days of
the session of Congress US an amend
ment to the river and harbor bill He
is sure that the House Will vote for this
amendment If sent over by the Senate.
Hepburn does not feel that there should
be opposition to the canal on the
ground that the appropriations at this
session are unusually heavy. He said
to-day that the appropriations for the
canal. if made at this session. would
not be used to any extent during this
fiscal or even during the next fiscal
year.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The Washing
ton correspondent Of the Herald tele-
graphs: l obtained to-day from Count
Cassini, Russian ambassador to the
United States, an interview in answer
to the statements made by Lord Charles
Beresford relative to the establishment
of an open door in China.
Count Cassini was transferred from
Picking to Washington after five and
half years of service at the Chlnese
capital and his views are highly re-
garded here. Before talking with me
respecting Lord Beresford's statements
the ambassador said Of the report pub
lished this morning that in a conflict
between Russian and Chinese troops at
TaIien Wan 800 of the latter were
killed: "I do not believe the report. II
there had been any foundation Tor II l
would have been Immediately ADVISED

Chinese have no troops at Ialen wan
and a conflict could not therefore have
occurred"

COUNT CASSINPS
SPIRITED REPLY TO
LORD BERESFORD
Russian ambassador Doubts the
Story Of the Recent Conflict
at fallen Wan.

Beresford does not say at present there
exists a closed door, but says that it
is possible that in future there may be
a closed door. AS a matter of fact
China holds in her hands authority to
declare whether there shall be an open
or a closed door.
so far as Russia is concerned it is
to her interest to have free trade in the
Far East. 1t is necessary in view of the
construction of the trans-S Siberian rail-
road that there should be an extension
of commercial relations in order that
the road can be operated on a paying
basis
THE policy of Russia in the extreme
Orient has always favored the introduce
ton of foreign commerce on an equal
footing Vladivostok is maintained as
a free port. Talien Wan, which is within
the Russian sphere of influence in
China, is to-day free port.
Lord Charles Beresford states that
Russia wants to take possession of the
north of China and leave the south of
that country to France. Now he pro-
poses that England, the United States,
Germany and Japan shall take charge
of affairs in China, England to have
control of the army, customs, etc,
very natural desire from his point Of
view
why does he make exceptions of
Russia and France? He does so on the
ground that they are not commercial
peoples. This is a mistake. France is
a commercial nation and Russia will be.
The Siberian road is a commercial idea
He says it is built only for strategic rea-
sons. This is another mistake"

NEALL'S RAPID
CAREER At RENO
Lieutenant Left Many
Creditors.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

RENO, New, Feb 20-Lieutenant
jack NJ. Neall. whose sudden disap-
pearance from the Presidio has created
such Juror in San Francisco, has a
little history in Reno which by way of
coincidence sheds some light upon the
episodes before the public.
Lieutenant NealI lived in Reno for
four years, ending 1894, and in the ca
pacity Of military Instructor and all
around professor at the Nevada Uni
verstty won the esteem and good will
Of nearly all the best people here. His
affabie, genial ways gained the devotion
or the students who attended his
classes. But his Nemesis overlook him
and much of this popularity was lost
when the time came for his departure
nence and he was called upon to settle
accounts. 1t then developed that his
mania for gambling and for a fast life
generally had led him into debt and
when he left here bankers. merchants
saIoon-keepers and people of many
classes were his creditors in sums vary
ing from 81 to 500 or more, and aggre-
eating over $1,000, The Washoe County
Bank was about the only one of these
claimants which held any security bet
ter than Neall's tickle word.
The bank got it's money, but c. Nova
coV1ch. the grocer; w. o. H. Martin. the
general merchant; H ]. Theys. the
keeper, and many others had ac-
counts against Neall that could not be
collected. Efforts were made through
the War Department and through in
sistent collecting agencies, but finally
the greater portion of these claims were
charged to profit and loss.
NealPs reputation as an efficient
teacher Of military tactics as well as
other branches In which he had classes
was first class, and aside from his I'M
fortunate sporting proclivities he would
have ranked here among the best.
