Touch in Telegraphy.

Roland Belfort, who has been inter- ested in same of our articles on wireless telegraphy, writes:
 Having worked most of the Alantic and Eastern cables, can testify to the ease With which an operat or recognizes her distant colleagues by their touch.
 "Often have heard the exclamation There's that confounded K. come on,' immediatly X transmitted his first sig nal.
 ''Some operators signalling is SO weak and shadowy that the work of decifering the signals is quite doubled.
 'lt is also easy to tell whether an operator has been in conivial society previous to taking duty. By the sig mailing cablist can tell whether his correspondent is tired, angry depressed merry or moody" ."-London Mail.

 September 1st.

The Canadian government is soon t0 sell to the highest bidders the reserved placers on the klondike. Notice Of these sales have been published in the Toronto and Eastern papers The gov. ernment has been asking for bids. but according to the latest information obtained by the Klondike Nugget. late codies of which has just come out. there Is no guarantee given that the highest bidder will get the claim in all cases. In fact, the government says it will not guarantee that the highest offer made will be acceptable.
 The reserved diygings on Dominion Will be offered first. There are. ac- cording to the Nugget about 6S peices of ground on this creek belonpinp to the crown. These lnlcude four frac- tions below upper discovery, five frac- tlons above lower discovery. and the balance being whole claims below low CT discovery
 The terms will be ten per cent with the tender, 45 per cent on acceptance. and the remainder within six months interest four per cent per year. The bidding on these claims will close Sept the first.
 The latest information of the strike on the Big Salmon given by the Mug get i- that brought by returning Dawsonite in the first part of July. The location of the strike is l35 miles from Lewis River up the Big Salmon. By going by way of Hootallnqua for a distance ot sixteen miles one can reach the placers by a portage of twenty-five miles across country. The diggings are reported to be shallow, bedrock not being over four or six feet. There were as the time about fifty people on the creek, which is called Cottoneya creek, small tributary of the south fork of the Big Salmon. Two women had al ready reached the creek and staked claims. The creek Was claim ed even at that time, to be all staked. From fifty to one hundred men were on the trail bound in.

ALIEN MIN
 INC LAW What The Dominion Govern- ment Now Think of It,
They Apparently See Their Mis- take in Allowing Such Dog in the Manger)
 Law to Pass.

As evidence of what the Dominion Government thinks of the alien mining Inv pared last winter we quote the | following from Sis Wilfred Laurier's l speech in the House la,t week. show ing conclusively that Mr. Lauricr has information going to prove that the peo pie of British Columbia are being heard from on the subject:
 "As to the other matter. that we should take power to exclude American miners from the Yukon, that it is Il problem that must be very seriously considered before we agree to It. It was only last winter that the British Columbia Legislature passed bill ex- cluding American miners from the Att lin district in British Columbia. The Legislature of British Columbia was within its rights when it excluded American miners from working the mines of British Columbia in the Atlin district.
 Sir Charles Tupper-Will my honer- able friend allow me to say that under that bill they contiscated existing rights and that is the charge against them.
 The Prime Mnister--I admit there is something in that, .but since that time have seen the proposition urged that such legislation was of doubtful benefit to British Columbia. I know that there are two sides to that contro- versy. There are those in British Columbia that hold that the legislation was right, but there are also those who hold, as the honorable gentleman knows, that British Columbia will lose more than she will gain by that law. There are those who think that the people of British Columbia would have been far more benefited by the trade of the American Miners if they had been allowed to mine in the Atlin district than they otherwise would. In the face of the controversy that is now go- ing on in British Columbia would it be wise that we should do the same thing that they have done? That is a ques- tion we have seriously to consider be- fore'we agree to it. It is less than a week ago since the honorable gentle- man from Victoria (Mr. Priol) asked whether the government was prepared to disallow that measure of the British Columbia Legislature, and the mean ing of that interpretation undoubtedly is that the public opinion of British Columbia is coming to the conclusion that it would perhaps be better to al- low the American miners to invest in the Atlin district to bring trade and which would benefit the merchants of Victoria, and the other cities in the Pacific province. My honorable friend (Sir Charles Tupper) himself told us last year when we were discussing the Yukon Bill that every dollor's worth of gold extracted from the ground cost one dollor in labor to get it.''

 Place of Entry Probable That The Matter Will be

Washington Cabinet remained n session about three-quarters of an hour after General Alger's departure. There was general cleaning up of little odds and ends preparatory to the presidents departure. The main topic discussed was the boundary dispute.
 Secretary Hay explained the status of the direct negioations now in pro- gress between himself and Mir. Tower, the British charge. and said he was not without hope that this vexed qnes- tion would be solved by direct negioa- tiOn.
 GreatBritian now seems willing to adopt the proposal of the United States to give Cenada the prvllage of port of entry into the Dominion while retaining absolute sovereignty over the Lynn Canal, and it is around this sort of a proposition that the hope of a set clement now hovers'
 The speeches of Sis Wilfred Laurier and Sir Charles Tupper came up incid- entallv, but no :sersous attention was given them.

 London. .-Tha Daily Mail in rather strong editorial on the Alaska bound ary contends that the interpretations of the treaty is pre-emidately matter for arbitration.
 "Ges' said the Daily Mail, "the Un- ted States declines because the politic- al pressure from the Pacific coast sta tes is so strong that the president feels his reelection might be endangered if he took that course.
 "He would not be misunderstood Canada asks no concessions, but only what she consider her own by right, and she is so confident of her case that she is ready to go before any interna- tional tribunal. Reciprocal conces- sions are talked of, but why should Canada pay high price for what seems to be her own?
 "Whenever the United States has proposed arbitration of any dispute, England has invariably acceded. Why should the United States to day hang back unless they think that their case is weak? The United States has the reputation of a hard bargainer. That is all very we'll; and We have often made concessions simply because we did not want to quarrel over trities, but here the vital interests of Canada are con- cerned, and it must be clearly under- stood that we cannot sacrifice Canada We want justice and an open port or two, if not justice."

Decidedly today was unlucky for fowls,
for the two terrier dogs, Di and Dan.
hunted ard slew one of them in the shrub
berry Thcy were caught in the act and
rcceiyed their Just reward. Afterward the
hen, large one, was dashed to the youn-
ger dog Dan, its legs being bound about
his neck, and its head fastened under his
stomach. For awhile he sat looking the
picture of detection, his sharp nose poking
out between It's tail feathers, but think
his grief rose from the sense that he wns
an object Of ridicule rather than from re-
morse Tor his crime. At any rate, as he
could not gnaw the corpse off or even walk
away with it, after awhile he turned it into
a mattress and spent the rest of the after
noon slumbering on the top of it, to all
appearance utterly undisturbed in con-
science. (Note.-No more dead hens have
been found, but since then Dan has killed
