EXPLORES CANADIAN wILDs.
Professor TyrelIs Latest Trip-Cap-
tive nf Esk;rnos Rascued

Professor Tyrell's Latest IrIp-Cap-
tive of Eskimos Rescued.
Prof. j. w. Tyrell, the celebrated ex-
plorer of Canadian wilds, has returned
from an expedition through the barren
lands of northern Canada. He Travelled
over 1000 mills on the tour. His expe-
ditlon. which was sent out by the Cana
DIAN government, met with many perils
IN the long journey to the northwest of
hudson Bay. Prof. Tyrell made the inn
portant' discovery that the barren lands,
generally supposed to be treeless prairie,
were covered in many places with rich
northern forests, and there were stretches
OF timber land 200 miles in extent. In
August Prof. J. w. Bell of the geological
survey, who was second in command Of
the expedition, went on a side tour OF
oOo miles up one Of the branches of the
1heion. There he rescued an English
man named Charles Bum, who had been
held IN captivity by the Eskimos for i've
years. Prof. Bell was in the lead OF the
party when they entered village just be-
fore nightfall, and was amazed when
tan, weil-built man, dressed like an Es-
Slno, ran up and addressed him in Eng
llsh. Bum told a marvellous story. He
SAID he had gone out from Edmonton in
1879 and had wandered far into the in
terror, shooting and trapping. He ran
short Of provisions and applied to an Els
klmo family. They took him to their
village, where he was compelled to re-
main, living as Cd" of them. He had
several thousand dollars worth Of fur.
he joined Bells party and came out to
Edmonton with the explorers.

Staple Lines Show No Diminution in
Volume of Transactions or Price.
Holiday trade has increased moderately
and in wholesale staple lines no relapse
is seen either in volume Of transaction or
IN prices. Cold weather has helped New
York, but it is still behind the rest of the
country, for some recent losses from fail
ures ia the textile markets have fallen
rather heavily there. Collections in the
country continue good, and this relieves
anxiety which might otherwise be felt
over the higher rates for money Mer-
chants accounts are in good position, so
that new sales Of commercial paper are
light even for this season. Industrial
conditions continue, with no great accu-
mutation of new merchandise IN any
quarter, according to II. G. Dun 81 Co.'S

DEATH IN A TYPHOoN.
Fearful Storm Sweeps Along Section
of Chinese Coast.

fcarIul storm sweeps Along section
of Chinese Coast.
Foundered ships, RACED buildings and
hundreds of dead men lie in the wage Of
a great typhoon which swept up the Chi
nese coast Nov. 10 and ravaged Hong
kong, Klow, Queens Road Kenedytown
and Other points in the British sphere.
The American ship Benjamin Sewall was
driYea ashore, the English gunboat Sand
piper foundered, nearly all of her crew
drowning, and seventy-seven steam
launches were crushed and sunk by he

drowned. The mammoth dredge Canton
River, after weathering the gale of Hong
kong for hours, suddenly listed to port
and capsized with nearly all on board.
Sixty men chung to the upturned boat for
a little time, but of these only a dozen
We're rescued. There were many brave
deeds done by sailors while the wind and
waves ragged.
News of the storm reached Victoria, B.
c., by the steamer Empress of India,
which was at her wharf in Klow when
the typhoon broke. Her seamen had a
storgy passage and they tell hair-raising
stories of the scenes along the coast when
the gale was at its height. Beginning at
dusk the wind came out of queer-shaped
clouds of black in the southeast and NOV
ed over Hongkong Island, heavy at first,
but not fierce enough to brighten the peo-
pie. Then it began to grow stronger and
angrier and the waters of the China sea
rolled shoreward like many tidal waves.
By midnight the typhoon was raging as
only an oriental tornado can rage 1t

tons, burying people in the wreckage and
tossing big ships around like tiny corks
The typhoon blew for forty-eight hours
in the neighborhood of Hongkong. Ther

that it must have done awful damage at
points farther up the coast.

with Ceremony.
The celebration OF the Tooth anniver-

from Philadelphia to Washington, Presl-
dent and Mrs. Adams driving over FROM

Of the city have been preparing for a
fitting observance Of this historical event,
tie design being to bring out the deyel-
opment which 4 century has brought
forth, not only in the capital. but in tho
nation.
The city was in gala attire, and from
an early hour the streets We're filed with
eager and expectant throngs. Pennsylya-
MIA avenue was 4 picture of color from
end to end. the business houses being
hung with bunting, flags and patriotic de-
vices. The great public bull lings added
their share TO the brilliancy Of the spec
tacle. From the front of the Treasury
radiated AT. enormous slmbursts of red,
white and blue. Farthel' on, the War,
State aid Navy departments and the
Department of Justice We're respondent
n tbs natienal colors. At the other end
of Pennsylvania avenue the massive
front of the capitol was hung with long
streamers, and from the dome fluttered
myriad Of flags. while the front of the
huge Postoffice Department was covered
with the national colors.
The program of the day began with a
reception at 10 O'Clock by President Nc
Kinley and members of his cabinet to the
Governors of the States and territories
at the Executive Mansion. This was fol-
lowed by the unwilling in the east room
Of the model of the proposed enlarged
Executive Mansion, which is to be a last
ing memorial of the celebration.

sentatives, and reception at night to

PORTO RICO CASE UP.
Begun in the United States
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court
Monday morning in the Supreme Court
of the United States began one OF the.
most interesting and important debates
that has been held before that tribunal
for years, and the principle involved is
whether the constitution OF the United
States follows the flag: or, in other
words, whether the Filipinos and Porto.
Ricans are citizens of the United States,
or, of not, what their relation is TO this
government. Attorney General Griggs
argued the negative. Ex-Secretary Car
isle, Charles H. Aldrich of Chicago, Wiz
liam Edmund Curtis of New York and
other famous lawyers spoke in the af-
firmative. The question comes before the
court ON remonstrance against the pay
ment of duties upon goods imported from
Porto Rice and the Philippine Islands
and involves the constitutionality of the
Porto Rican law that was passed last
session 1t will be remembered that the
committee of ways and means submitted
to the House of Representatives a report
declaring that neither Porto Rico nor Ha-
wall nor the Philippines nor Alaska nor
Arizona nor any of the other territories
were part of the United States, aud that
Congress had the right TO establish cus-
tom houses on their borders, notwith-
standing that clause in the constitution
that forbidS embargoes upon the COM
merce between the States.
This is one of the greatest cases that
the nations highest tribunal has ever
considered; greater than the bred Scott
case. greater than the legal tender case
greater than the income tax case. Those
cases respectively involved the question
Of the extension Of slavery the power OF
the government 10 issue paper money
and force its acceptance, and the power
OF the government TO tax incomes, but
this case involves the very structure Of
the government itself

Discover Mistake in Negroes Identity

TO one of the men of the company that
it was time to inquire into the identity
Of the victim and learn whether there
was not some truth in the trembling
wretch's pFotestations of innocence. One
of the White Caps then came forward
and acknowledged that the negro was
one of the most respected men in the

worked, and that the company that EN-
ployed him there trusted him implicitly.
He was then taken to saloon and

had finished the man was almost crazed
