MEAT SUPPLY
FOR ALASKA

Washington, March 14.-An expedition
under the revenue cutter service will be
sent to Alaska at an eally day. Arrange
ments are now being made for the trip,
the object of which will be to establish
sources of meat supply in the territory.
The plans for the expedition have not
been completed. but the first step has been
taken by the temporary transfer of the
Thetis from the navy department to the
treasury department for use by the reve-
nue. cutter officers. The ship was Sc
lected for this duty on account of its coal
capacity and economical Steaming quail
ities as well a. the comfort of its cabin
accommoda tions. The latter is an i'm
portant feature in a long expedition
The headquarters of the expedition will
be Hakodate, which is the most impor-
tant northern port of Japan, and is ac-
cessibe to the field of investigation. AT
present the T'hets is at the Mare Island
navy yard and is being overhauled for
the new service. It's bunkers will be
loaded with about 400 tons of coal, and
orders have been placed in Japan. The
expedition will investigate the extent
and locality Of the reindeer in Alaska,
with a view to their availability as a
food supply to the constantly increasing
population Of the territory.

Nuns Ordered to Leave

Baltimore, March 14.-According to a
dispatch from Pinar del Rio, five sisters
of the American order of the Sacred
Heart have been ordered away from
Cuba by Archbishop Chapelle, papal rep
resentative The nuns are all daughters
of Indian chiefs, and the reason given is
the "old hatred against Undian) sisters"
According to prominent Catholics, the
expulsion of the sisters is taken as a
stab at Americanism and, coming at this
time, is painful news to those who be-
lieved the vatican was in full sympathy
with real Americanism. The American
branch of the Sacred Heart was founded
by Father Craft, an Indian missionary
who is now in Cuba.

WILL INCREASE
THEIR EFFICIENCY

New York, March IA dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: In
order to provide the projected third-class
cruisers with as great radius of acton
as possible, the board of construction re-
ferred to Rear Admiral Hichborn today
a proposition to increase the amount of
coal to be carried by each vessel from 800
to 500 tons. AS originally planned the
cruisers were to carry 4oO tons each,
which would permit them to steam 7,234
knots and keep at sea 35 days without re-
coaling.
Consideration has already been given
by the navy department to the method
to be pursued in assigning officers to en-
gineering duty. Rear Admiral Melville,
it is understood. will suggest that he be
allowed to continue the method in vogue
under the old law of suggesting engineers
for engineering duty
Arrangements are being made to en-
large the gun shop at the Washington
navy yard so as to accommodate the ma
chinery for the manufacture of breech
mechanism.

CANADIAN PACIFIC
ROLLING STOCK

Montreal, March 14--The annual report
railway company, which will be present
ed at the annual meeting of the share
holders in this city on April 5 next, has
been made public An exceptionally in
teresting feature of the report is the evil
dence it contains that the Canadian Pa
cific has reached the point where the nee
essity of very considerable renewing of
and addition to its rolling stock can be no
longer deferred. Since the completion of
the main line of the road sixteen years
go when enormous government subsidies
enabled the company to equip itself with
a most complete rolling stock and ter
minal facilities, very little expenditure
under these heads had to be incurred and
the company has been enabled to declare
dividends regularly. With little having
been done in the way of gradual renewal
of its stock however, it became only a
question Of time when large outlay
would have to be made for this purpose.
That the time has now come appears
from the report which calls for the eX-
penditure of over $2,000000 for rolling
stock and terminal facilities and $l,100,-
coo for improvement to permanent way.
The balance sheet of the affairs of the
cOmpany Dec. 81, 1SS, s9hows: The gross
earnings for the year $26,13S,91l; working
rxpenseo. S15 5663 603 and the net earnings,
S1O.475.3T1 The working expenses for the
wear amounted to 1892 per cent of the
gross earnings and the net earnings to
40 0S per cent as compared with 51.16 and
42.Si per cent respectively IN ls9'-9S The
earnings per passenger per mile were 1,52
cents and per ton of freight per mile. &c
cents as against 1.S2 and IS cents respec-
tiVp1y in 1897.
