Revelstoke. B. c., Sept 29.-The
duke and duchess of Cornwall and
York rode today through the Rockies
and the Selkirk mountains, and by
noon Monday will be at Vancouver.
The ride through the mountains was
greatly appreciated by the duke and
duchess and their travelling compan-
ions. The trip has seldom been made
under more favorable circumstances.
1t was a bright, clear day and the
warm sun gave the snow-topped peaks
a dazzling brilliancy and drove the
mists out of the deep cut canyons and
ravines. Each point of interest was
called to the attention of the duke and
duchess, who spent nearly the entire
day in sightseeing from the rear plat
form OF their car. They were par
ticularly interested in Kicking Horse
pass and the glacier at Glacier. The
royal train was run very slowly
through the former and there was am
pie time for the observation of both.
The Canadian Pacific officials used
every possible precaution to guarantee
against accident. The track was care
fully patrolled at every danger point
and guard stood at every switch.
The division officials were all on duty
and personally supervised the hand
ling of the royal specials.
The countess Mimic and several
members of her party made the ride
down the loops from Glacier to Illecil-
lewaet on the cowcatcher of the pilot
engine. They enjoyed the thrilling ex.
perience. The royal special got away
from Banff at $3.50 o'clock in the morn.
ing and the entire population of the
little mountain town turned out to see
them off and cheer the royal couple.

GENL C0RBIN IS IMPLICATED
The Senate Committee Is Inv.atigatinr
the Case-MAior Hawk Testified ON the
Formation of the Manila Rope Com
pany-N umerous Government Unicials
in the Deal.

Washington, Oct, 3-The senate
committee on military affairs has re-
summed its hearing Of the charges
against Col. II. o. s. Heistand. Mai,
Hawks, continuing his testimony,
asked that Colonel Heistand produce a
memorandum made in May, 1899 by
the colonel himself, in which $3.50 900
of the promoters stock of the Manila
Rope company was apportioned. Coun-
sci for Heistand said his client had no
knowledge of such a document, but
would search for it. Hawks said his
recollection was that he and Heistand.
by the terms of the memorandum, were
TO have $4,000 OF the stock, and Gen.
Corbin, George d. Meiklejohn. Charles
Allen, James e. Boyd, w. w. Dudley
and l.. T. Kitchener were to receive the
remaining portions. Only Hestand
and Hawks were present when the ap-
portionment was made Hawks add
ed that no testimony he should give
would connect Corbin, Meikleiohn, AL.
len or Boyd personally with the trans
action.
Hawks detailed conversation with
Heistand in October, 1899, in which
Heistand told him that Corbin and AL
len had withdrawn from the combin-
alton and that Meiklejohn had asked
for the return of Hawks letter of In
PRODUCTION 1t was given to Heistand.
Hawks said he suggested to him that
he burn the remainder of the CORE
spondence, but he did not accede to the
proposition.
Maj. Hawks told of a conversation
with Gen. Corbin in relation to a
statement to Heistand for his services
in connection with the hemp company.
He said Gen. Corbin told him the bill
ought to be paid and to make out his
bill and he (Corbln) would forward it
through military channels. Gen Cor.
bin had informed him emphatically
that he was not in the company and
had nothing to do with it. Hawks said
he sent the bill, but Corbin never for.
warded it. He also said that in an
inoervlew with ASST slant Secretary AL
len the latter denied emphatically that
he had any connection with the COM
pany. Hawks said he had numerous
interviews with Assistant Secretary
Meiklejohn, to whom he had sent his
claim through the mails Meiklejohn
had said Helstand ought to pay it. Mr..
Meiklejohn, he said, also approached
him in the customs service in the Phil
ippines, and also promised him pro-
motion. Mr.. Meiklejohn asked him for
recommendations before making the
appointment.
Maj. Hawks gave the details of his
trip to the Philippines, and his return
after his appointment was revoked.
He saw Secretary Root, but the COM
mitee would not permit him to tell any
thing of what passed then, holding that
Secretary Root was not involved in the
case. Hawks said he had interviews
with Mr.. Melklejohn in which the lat
ter told him that it would be impossl-
BILE for him to secure position under
the government so long as Mr.. Root
was secretary of war.
