Telegraph work 10 being pushed ac-

to use the Edison phonoplex system,
laying q cable from Juneau to Skag-
way, a distance OF 100 miles, over
which the phonoplex will work salts
factOrily. An appropriation of $780,

dian government for the purpose Of

the Fraser river, 200 miles north Of
Ashcroft, b. c., to Atlin. Cords. of
wood are now piled up at the place
and two gangs are soon to be put to
work from one end of each section.
When they meet and join wires, which
may he in the fall, Skagway, Juneau
and Dawson will cease to be isolated,
and be. practically as close to New
York and London us Tacoma and San
Francisco. The most interesting fact
of the new installation Is that 1t likely
will use several hundreds of miles Of
the old telegraph trail and survey,
which was jay Goulds Western Union
scheme to put an overland wire
through Siberia to st. Petersburg and
Europe. Most Of the old telegraphers
remember that this road was brought
to n sudden stop by the receipt of the
news In this country that Cyrus Field
had completed a cable across the At
lantic. Many tons of wire were left on
the ground and It Is there yet.

In regard to the causes for the for

Il realize that 1t is a very unpopu-

two sides to the story of the Boxers
In China. You will notice by the dis
patches that there nre railroad riots In
the Shantung province, and the Bel

have been assaulted and are afraid of
assassination, and that work has been
suspended on certain portions Of the
line now under construction. l have
alluded to this matter before, and
while no one can justify assassination
or approve the cowardly methods
which the Boxers" have adopted to
revenge themselves upon the foreign
devils that have invaded their coun-
try, they can Mt least plead extra ordin-
nry provOcation, for the Germans and
the Belgians who are constructing rail
roads In the Shantung province have

able manner and have provoked the
