Owing to the scarcity of transporta-

QUEER UNIFORMS IN ALASKA.
But They Keep the Soldiers Warm as
Well as Picturesque.


Colonel Patton says that the military
occupation of Alaska presented a new
problem as to the particular clothing
needed to comfortably protect the men
in garrison or on the trail from the rig
ors of that trying climate. The fur and
other heavy clothing furnished troops
at the most northern posts in the states
being manifestly inadequate for the pur-
pose. a supply list of extra heavy cloth
ing was made up for Alaskan service.
The cost of this extra supply per man
was about $50. and the secretary of war
authorized" that amount to be added to
the clothing allowance of enlisted men
serving in Alaska. Based upon expert
ence, it has been found advisable to
eliminate from future issues for Alaska

packs, felt boots, wildcat caps and

entirely satisfactory, especially in severe
weather, a double-breasted canvas

the requirements Of the country and will,
it is believed, eventually supersede all
the Mackinaw garments. muskrat

AT Butte, where they arrived late at
night, while the major was bustling
about after the ambulance and baggage
wagons. Mrs. Mainwaring, sitting a.
an open window and gazing out at the
fitting lights on the platform and
awaiting the summons to leave the car,
was suddenly attracted by the sight of
little detachment Of recruits march
ing by. The young lady, too, was at a
near window, and the sergeant, catch
ing glimpse of her face, remembered
the conversation he had heard at Pawnee
and her prompt defense of the absent,
and he had felt i'll at ease and shame
stricken ever since. What right had he
to brand man as criminal on the
mere suspicion of some railway employ
ees? The young lady's spirited stand in
defense of the DETAINED had astonished
the major and delighted Kearney. A
sudden thought struck the honest trooper
as he was marching by, and, springing
quickly to the side of tho car, he held
up to the window the handsome silver

thought it might have been his brother,
who wouldn't give his name, but who
had forgotten the handkerchief with
which he had stanched the flow of blood
from her temple-an unsightly relic at
the moment, to be sure, but safely
slowed in her little satchel for all that,
and already searched and not vainly for

And what on earth she was to do
with that handsome flask and that once
more presentable handkerchief was a
problem that confronted Miss Leroy two
weeks later, after she had begun to feel
reasonably at home at Ransom. 1t was
the queerest phase of life that ever she
had encountered. City bred, convent
educated, she found frontier ways at an
army post SO full of novelty and sensa-
ton as her first explorations in foreign
parts. For two or three days they had
lived at the hotel in Butte until the
major reported the carpets down and
the stoves up. The next two or three
were devoted to unpaoking furniture,
pictures, glass and orockery and putting

bachelor lieutenants pitched tents on the
parade and placidly awaited their turn
to choose quarters, a ceremony which
impressed Miss Leroy as something in
comprehensive. 1t was not easy 20

couldn't move Mrs. Ray and the baby

senate would have been taken today
Mitchell, been present to take the oath
of office. He cannot reach Washington
until tomorrow, however, and adjourn
ment was postponed until that time.
Mr.. HOar (MaSS.) offered a reSOlu-
ton providing for the appointment of
q committee of senators to call upon
the president and inform him that the
senate was ready to adjourn without
day. Mr.. Morgan (Ala.) objected to
consideration today, saying that Sena-
tor Mitchell of Oregon would be in
washington tomorrow and it was due
him that the senate remain in session
until his arrival
After the transaction of some brief
routine business, Mr.. Lodge (Mass.)
moved that the senate proceed to the
consideration of executive business. On
that motion Mr.. Hoar (Mass) request
ed the yeas and nays, saying that for
a. particular reason ii was desirable
the roll should be called at least once
during the session. The motion pre-
vailed unanimously fifty-six senators
voting in the affirmative. At 12:15 the
senate went into executive session.
The particular reason for a roll
call, referred to by Mr.. Hoar, was that
the name of Mr. Allen of Nebraska
should be included thus officially in
the roll of senators. Some question
was raised as 70 the right of Mr. Allen
to draw his nay in the new congress

TAKE EXPORT DUTY
OFF CUBAN TOBACCO
President Issues Order Abolish
ing the Tax.
DATES FROM APRIL ]
AFFECTS CIGARS, CIGARETTES
AND RAW MATERIAL

washington, March S.-The presi-
dent today issued an executive order
abolishing the Cuban export duty on
tobacco from April 1 next. This action
was taken on the earnest recommen-
dation of the. Cuban Economic commits
sion which recently visited Washing
ton. endorsed by General Wood A
previous order had been issued hXlnS
an export duty of 80 per cent on Gu
ban tobacco from April l. TOday &C
ton remOves the export duty entirely.
General Woods approval of the abol-
itiOn of this export duty IS practically
an expression of his belief that the
Cuban revenues from other sources are
sufficient for the needs of the insular
government. The original idea was that
the tobacco tax was necessary to fully
meet the financial requirements of the
government.
The abolition of duty affects cigars
and cigarettes as well as tobacco in
leaf, filler or cut, all OF the various
classes of tobacco, raw and manufac-
tured having heretofore been subject
to various rates of duties. That on
cigars has been 81. SO per thousand; on
cigarettes in boxes, 80 cents per thou-
sand; cut tobacco, $3-75 per 100 kilos;
leaf or filler tobacco, $6.35 per 100
kilos. except that harvested in the pro-
vince of Santiago de Cuba, and export
ed through the customs houses at San
tiago, Gibara or Manzanillo, which paid
1920 per 100 kilOs.
All of these duties are abolished I'M
der the order today 1t is estimated
by the war department officials that the
aDrogatiOr of the tobacco duties will
cause a loss of revenue of about 100000
or $1,000, 900 per year. But it is said
that this loss will be more than offset
by the encouragement given to the
planters in Cuba TO increase their pro-
ductiOn-
The extent of trade affected by the
order is very large, the tobacco eX-
ports amounting to about S20,O00,0 900 a
year. Of this by far the larger part
came to the United States. The value
of manufactured tobacco exported
within the seven months ended July
u last, was 5000. 900, and of this the
export to the United States amounted
to "a 500, 900 In the same period the
export of Cuban cigars was largest TO
Great Britain, the United States COM
ing second. The total value of the
cigar exports for the seven months was
SO, 030 600.

STREET FAIR PETITION.
Promoters Ask for Use of the
Streets

Promoters Ask for Use of the
Streets.
The city council committee on streets
held a session last night to hear J.
Wash Young and Hal Clawson explain
the manifold features of the proposed
street fair and high carnival during
the week of July "a. In their petition
MeSSrs. Young and Clawson 0Sk to be
granted the use of a portion of the
streets in the business district off the
curb facing the sidewalks for space for
exhibition and entertainment purposes
It was explained that every merchant
would have the privilege of having a
booth in front of his place Of business,
and those who do not want to utilize
the space should grant to the promot-
ors of the carnival the unused sections
for amusement attractions. 1t was also
explained that no interference with the
ordinary street traffic is contemplated.
The petition was endorsed by a num-
Der OF representative business houses,
but the committee thought that more
should signify their concurrence in the
scheme before the grant is made. Fin
ally it was voted to recommend to the
council that the petition be granted,
subject, however to such regulations
as the city attorney might suggest.
The committee appointed next Mon
day morning to visit Liberty park for
the purpose of determining what effect
the taking of a twenty-four-fOOt strip
off the east side of the park will have
in the plan TO widen Seventh East
street before d franchise is granted to
the Salt Lake City Railroad company
to extend its line to the southern limits
