CHALLENGE FOR SHELDON.
Kansas Editor Offers to Supply the
Minister'S Pulpit.

ATCHISON, Kan, Jan. 29-E. w.
Howe, of the Atchison Globe, comment
ing upon Rev. Charles Sheldons ar
rangement- to conduct the Topeka Capt.
tai one week during March by way of
showing newspaper editors and publish
ers how to keep their papers clean, en-
PERTAINING and out Of the sheriff's hands,
proposes to Mr.. Sheldon in the COL
umns of the Globe, that the pastor turn
his pulpit over to the editor during the
week of the Capital experiment.
Among other things, Mr. Howe says:
"Rev Mr. Sheldons desire to publish
a newspaper for week is evidence that
he does not believe a sufficient amount
of religion is injected into the columns
of the newspapers. Neither is there
enough common sense or ability in the
average sermon If we fail to make
out as much of a case against preachers
as Rev. Mr.. Sheldon makes out against
newspapers we will buy Bible and join
the church"
Mr.. Howe says the proper person to
run Mr. Sheldon's church while the mir
lister is running the newspaper is Gen.
j. K. Hudson, the owner of the Capital,
but that If Gen. Hudson will not under
take, the task, he Is ready to go in as a
substitute.
If Editor Howe's proposal shall be ac-
cepted he promises to preach nightly on
the inconsistencies and fallacies Of the
average preacher. If Mr.. Sheldon and
his flock refuse to make the experiment
joint one, Mr.. Howe will probably print
his daily sermon in one of the opposition
Topeka dailies.

SUPERIOR, Wis, Jan. 2S.-(Special.)-
Hon. Frank P. Catlin, late of Hudson,
died here lacking but few days of be-

old settlers Of Hudson, Saltwater and the

He was born Feb. 2, 1885, in Brooklyn,

LAUR1ER IN DANGER.
Attack to BE Made Upon the Govern
ment When Parliament Meets.


ment When Parliament Meets.
OTTAWA, Ont. Jan. 2S.-The meeting
of the imperial parliament and that of
the dominion will take place almost upon
the same day this year, and the war in
South Africa will undoubtedly be the
most important subject to engage the
attention of the legislators at Ottawa,
as well as those at Westminster.
There are signs Of general onslaught
on the British government during the
coming session, and similar signs are
not wanting in respect to the Canadian
government. To Canada the session Of
the dominion parliament, which will
open next Thursday, will be one fraught
with considerations of more momentous
import than any that have ever been
dealt with since the Canadian union was
consurimated.
The impression prevails throughout the
country that this will be the last session
of the present parliament. This opinion
is freely entertained by prominent mem
bers Of parliament supporting the gov
eminent while the opposition leaders
confidently anticipate a dissolution of the
house Immediately after the close of the
session, and are actively preparing for
an appeal to the people.
The life OF the present parliament does
not expire untiI next year, WHefl, Wy LIS
eff1uxion of time, dissolution would take
place in June 1t is not probable. how
ever, that the government will allow par
lament to live out its natural existence,
but will seize the first favorable oppor-
tunity to bring on the general elections
during. the current year.
1t has come to be regarded by the Ca
madam electorate as a sign of weakness
for ministry to cling to office for the
full term of five years, as provided by
the constitution, and this popular Sction
undoubtedly exerts strong influence
upon the minds of the ministry in deter
mining to dissolve parliament and go to
the country this year.

1t is said. commence fighting the salt
trust by the erection in this city of salt
packing plant which will handle all Of
that material consigned to the consum-
ers supplied by that company. The COM
pany Is planning to erect such a plant
here before the onening of navigation,
and will commence handling salt as soon
as the material in bulk can be shipped
here from the East via the lakes. The
company has a warehouse in this city
which has handled its salt for several
years past. Last year its receipts fell
off d, 900 barrels. which decline Is said to
be due to the salt trusts action In '99
there was received $1,000 barrels of salt
for that company, against $4,000 during
the season previous.

PARIS, Jan. 29.-The election of ninety
nine senators yesterday resulted In
practical rout for the Nationalist, only
three out of their thirty candidates be-
ing elected. The Nationalist made a
great show of military men, including
Gems MERCER, Lambert, Rebillot, Perrier,
Prothar, Clersot and La Veuve
and Coils. Parant and Mon
tell. Admiral Gallibert was also a
Nationalist candidate. OF these Gems
MERCER and Lambert alone succeeded,
both commanding large majorities. Gen.
MERCER was the principal Nationalist can
didate. The defeat of their whole list, in
Guiding Gems. Prax and La Veuve, in the
department of Santhia, is tantamount to
a rebuff to M. Cavaignac, former minister
Of war, who had backed the list. NJ

TRANS-ALASKAN ROAD.
Report of Capt. Abercrombie Made
Public at Washington.


WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S-The war de-
partment mas made public the report
from Capt. w. R. Abercrombie, Second
infantry, who commanded the Copper
river exploring expedition in Alaska last
season. The chief topic treated In the
report Is the laying out Of the great
transatlantic military route from Port
Valdez. Alaska, to Port Egbert on the
Yukon.
Capt. Abercrombie believes that the
future for railroad through this sec
ton Of Alaska Is very promising owing
to the presence of large tracts of min
eralized copper deposits. the develop
ment Of which, he says, undoubtedly will
yield local tonnage of great volume.
He states that the proximity of tie and
bridge timber and the absence Of any
great engineering problems would rem
der railroad construction compare lively
easy problem.
Edward Gillet, member Of the expedi-
ton, contributes an important chapter
to the report on the feasibility of es-
tablishing a practical railroad route up
the Copper river valley. He draws
comparison between the route from Seat
tie to Skagway with the Valdez route,
to the advantage of the latter.
The point is made that the projected
route would be entirely within United
States territory. He fixes the probable
cost at $755.50O or $22,591 per mile, the es.,
innate being from rs to so per cent high
er than rates In the United States. A
direct line from Valdez to Port Egbert,
On the Yukon, would be 80 miles long,
and $50 miles would afford all the diver
sion required for the line.
In conclusion the report treats Of the
agricultural resources Of the country,
showing that the soil is productive, that
vegetables and hay can be raised, that
there is plenty of timber ard that hardy
farmers from Norway and Sweden would
farm as successfully In the Copper river
valley as in their own country. The
country also contains coal of good quail
ity and marble of various colors.

death, but an autopsy made tonight
showed that choral had affected his
heart SO that death followed.
