CLEVER SCHEME BALKED.

Canadian Steamship Lines Sought Cape
& @ Nome Business.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The atten-
ton of the treasury department. has
been called to the advertisements Of
Canadian steamship lines, soliciting
freight to be shipped to Cape Nome,
Alaska. This is done on the erroneous
assumption that Cape Nome would be
made SUPPORT OF entry of the United
States. The route Of these shipments,
it was intended, should be from Seattle
to Vancouver by rail, distance of 60 or
10 miles, thence to Cape Nome by
steamer, thus eyading, according to the
officials, our laws, which prohibit for
.eign vessels from carrying goods from
one port in the United States to an
other. The government, in view Of this
fact, has decided, for the present at
least, not to make Cape Nome sub
port of entry, leaving St. Michaels the
nearest port to the new gold fields. The
effect of this action viii be to preserve
the trade with Cape Nome to American
vessels

lied the slums Of London as
a disgrace to civilization. But be
added, the public conscience had
been awakened and the demand fo1
cleansing these districts would shortly
result in the government introducing a

in preparation and which he hoped
would solve the problem of housing the
workers, than which there was no ques.

La Patrie, the organ Of Mr.. .. Israel
Tarte, minister Of public works, refer
ring to the attacks Of the McGill stu
dents on LAVAL college and the French
newspaper offices, attributes their ac
tion to the agitation By Tory papers,
which, it says. have been making
threats and hurling disloyalty at the
French Canadians.
The editorial concludes:
Is it not painful spectacle to real
ize that we are two steps from civil
war? We are not the aggressors. but
we are strong enough to protect our
selves. We do not hold the majority of
the English speaking population of
Montreal and the country responsible
for the shameful scenes which dis
graced our streets. This is a decisive
hour. SS5$
The confederation can only be main
tanned by the two races living harmo-
| niously side by side. There is very little
to add to what has taken place, to rend
the federal pact asunder, and that with
| out much delay. z
Matters Fairly Quiet.
Things are fairly quiet, but struggles
are taking place in different parts Of
town. Lieutenant Colonel Width, dep
uty adjutant general Of this military
district, is aIrangi with Lieutenant
Colonel Sherwood, head Of the Domin-
ion police and commanding the Forty
third battalion of volunteers for mobil-
ization Of the local militia companies.
The immense union jack which The
Star has hoisted to take the place of the
one torn up by the French Canadians,
was the cause of some trouble because
French Canadian insulted it and an
Englishman knocked him down. There
was general row and one man was ar
rested.

ulty has expressed his regrets to Judge
4 Mathieu of the LAVAL law school, for
the occurrence of Thursday evening.

Report Via New York That Beers
Are Preparing to Cut British

LONDON, March 5. 5.2::27 p. m. Presi-

with the intention of meeting President
Steyn. The place where they will meet
is not mentioned, but is believed to be
somewhere in the Orange Free State.
Those in South Africa who are CONVEX
SAINT with the effect Of the recent re-
verses have had on the Beers, express
the opinion that the meeting of the two
presidents is preliminary to a sugges-
ton Of negotiations for peace. But if
this is the case, it must be due to the
pressure brought to bear upon the pres
idents by the burghers and Afrikanders
in the British colonies, rather than in
the personal inclinations Of the presi-
dents, as all the available information
depicts them as being as determined as
ever to persist in the war until the re
sources Of the republics are much more
enfeebled than Y they seem to be at pres
lent, although some significance is at
tached to the consultation in view
of the reported visit to England Of Chief
Justice de Villiers, Mr.. Hoffmeier and
{ DIR. TeWater, ostensibly on private bust
ness and for their health. But, the
closest observers do not anticipate any
sud den cessation Of hostilities and Ger
tainly, the reports from the theater OF
war do not tend to encourage the advo-
cate Of imme ediate peace. The Beers
are apparently rail- ying with their ac-
