SKAGWAY THEIRS
ACCORDING TO THE CANADIAN
OFFICIALS
That Town Is Part Of Canadian Territory
They Also Claim Two.Thirds Of the
Country Lying Between Skasway and
Juneau-labss With the Word Alaska on
Are Destroyed.

Seattle, Dec. 18.-Dr. Z. H. Gibbons,
who came down from Skagway on the
Cottage City, fully confirms the story
that the Dominion authorities have laid
claim to Skagway as a part of Canadian
territory. The fact that such action was
a matter of common report and belief
was published several days ago.
DR.. Gibbons has been in 81 utheastern
Alaska for the last two years, spending
the most of his time in the Porcupine
district.
"The Canadians now claim two-thirds
of the country lying between Skagway
and Juneau" said DR.. Gibbons. "Their
latest move has been to forbid express
men from marking packages Skagway,
Alaska, and demanding that they be
simply marked 'Skagway.' The Cana
dian customs authorities have had all
the labels destroyed on which the word
Alaska appeared and new ones printed
without it. They claim that Skagway is
about 40 miles inside the line.
"All this trouble has been caused by
the new inc. 1t cuts the Porcupine dis
trict in two and placed large number
of American miners in Canadian terri
tory. The result is that they are taxed
every time they make q turn. Small
boats now run on the Chilkat as far as
Wells, town built near the line since
it was run two years ago, and in many
ways this offsets Inconvenience under
the new arrangement.

The Former's Politeness Was Too Much
for the Policeman.
In the old days, before the cable and
electric cars. and when horse cars ran
on Broadway, truckmen practically
ruled the street, and did not pay the
slightest heed to remarks from the car
drivers requesting them more or less
(rather more) emphatically to get out
of the way, until they decided that
they were ready to do so. When the
cable and finally the electric cars came
in the truckmen became little more
careful, for a very few encounters with
the cars showed them that their trucks
could be knocked into kindling wood
in few minutes. Nowadays they get
out of the way fairly expeditiously If
grudgingly, but such an exchange of
amenities as was heard the other day
between truckman and motorman Is a
record. saws the New York Mail and
Express.
1t was on Duane street. and heavy
truck was keeping back a car. The mo-
torman changed his bell loudly, and the
driver Of the truck turned around and
said:

next corner l shall be very glad to get
out Of your way"

the motorman. You are most oblig-

But IL the theory Of DIR. Granville
Macleod. of South Chicago, is correct
the modern advisor can say: Beware

DIR. Macleod's assertion seems to be
verified by statistics taken from the

hospitals, and many establishments en-
ploy ing large forces of men, as well as
the books Of the coroner's Office.
Reference to the records Of the Cook

past FIVE years shows an average Of
ninety five cases Of injuries by accident

occurred during the fatal" period.
The corOner's office shows a more
startling confirmation of the doctors
theory. About 65 per cent. or nearly
two-thirds of the deaths by accidents
and other causes requiring official in

Bridge Hunting Pigeons.

Those who visit Fort George. and
who yield to a very natural impulse to
have look at what Is going on down
on the Speedway, are apt to have their
attention drawn by a sound of many
fiuttering wings as they descend the
steep paths and stairways close beside
the Washington Bridge. The wings be-
long to runaway pigeons from nearby
private cotes, the birds making their
new found home In the bridges stone
abutments and the iron arches.
The pigeons are there summer and
winter-lay eggs there and hatch their
young They live in the indentations
which have been left in the masonry
to prevent the sweating Of the rock.
These indentations provide the coolest
sort of homes for them. just big enogh

strong and able to fly they soon find
mates, and also crevices somewhere
in the rocks Of the bridge to set up
housekeeping on their own account.

LoNDoN's DOCTOR FOR BIRDS.

All the Time.

Makes a Speciality of 1t and 10 Buoy
All the Time.
Birds are subject to disease quite as
much as human beings. Phthisis car
ries Off many parrot, and pet canaries
are very subject to enteric. Treating
these ailments and performing minor
surgical operations upon feathered pa
tionts keeps at least one London bird
doctor busy most Of the time. The
methods by which he operates are
given in the Strand Magazine.
One Of the refractory patients treated
was a parrot suffering from horny
growth over one Of its nostrils. Its
struggles were absolutely terrific, and
In the end it had to be wrapped In Irvine
to prevent wing tapping.
Canaries, being naturally fragile and
nearly always delicate In the climate
of Geat Bitain, are class Of patients
to which the bird doctor gives special
study and attention. They form, as
rule, the larger portion Of his clientele,
for, as drawing-room pets, they are ny
| far the greatest favorites of the winged
world. The treatment accorded them
has to be of the most delicate descrip-
ton, while the handling Of their bodies
for various ailments is in itself an oper-
alton demanding the utmost care, as an
inadvertent squeeze might cause their
death. The affection showered by OWL
ers of canaries upon their little pets Is
often quite touching, many ladies max
ing it stipulation that they are present
while any necessary operation is being
carried out. Tears are shed freely, ON
such occasions, and Joy becomes mani
fest as soon as the poor little brides are
pronounced "Out of danger"

Wheeler Of Kentucky Moves a Congressional
Investigation In the schIsy Matter.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 18.-Con-
gresham Wheeler, Democratic repre-
sentative from Kentucky, has introduced
the house resolution for an investi-
cation by the house committee on naval
affairs into the conduct of Admiral
Schley before and during the battle OF
Santiago.
Mr.. Wheeler said that his reason for
introducing this measure was the per-
sistence Of the Sampson press in declar-
ing'that Dewey agreed with the majority
court in most of it's findings, and that
the minority report meant nothing.
II desire Admiral Dewey to 20 on the
stand and give his Interpretation Of his
report" declared Mr.. Wheeler, land
want it done in such way that it will
become an absolute and unqualified
statement of fact, beyond the reach OF
ministerpretation."
1t is now thought that the pressure is
becoming 90 strong and public opinion
ia 80 much divided that there is possi-
bility of the resolution carrying and
another investigation being made. Par
ticularly ia this true since it is openly
stated around tho capitol that Sampson
is also an objector, and thinks he is en-
titled to the entire credit for the opera
tons which resulted in the defeat OF the
Spanish fleet.
The house has begun considering the
Philippines tariff bill.

FOR CALAMITY IN SERVICE.
Bill to Make Sampson. Schley and Clark
Vice Admiras.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-A bill provid-
ing for the revival of the grade of vice
admiral, and for the appointment of
Sampson, Schley and Capt. Clark to
such rank for special gallantry in service,
was introduced in the senate by Senator
Penrose OF Pennsylvania yesterday. The
bill asks that the active service of the
men mentioned shall be extended ten
years. The bill is regarded as sort of
compromise in the Schley controversy,
as it would not only vindicate his actions
during the Santiago campaign, but would
also in measure prove gratifying to the
adherents of Sampson, in that it gives
him promotion. 1t is creating consider.
able discussion.

WEIRD TALE OF BURIED GOLD.
Rich Treasure In 1llinois that 10 Guard.
ed by lnlian Magic.


ed by Indian Magic.
Several men from Alto Pass are over
on Big Muddy River near the mouth
Of Cedar Greek. ILL.,, digging for buried
treasure. Around the spot where the
men are working are twelve large
beech trees, and on each one there Is
carved the figure of hand pointing
toward the center of the circle formed
by the trees A short distance away
Inscriptions in seven different Ian
guages are cut on the face of large
rock, which tell Of the buried treasure
and pronounce curse on the man who
attempts to take it away, saying that
any person who finds the treasure.
which Is said to be four pots of gold,
will fall dead before he can get his
hands on 1t.
s. =. Casey, an old citizen here, says
that he once visited the place, with a
companion, and heard distinctly the
tones of a voice. coming. apparently.
from space, warning them not to try
to find the gold. Others say they have
heard unearthly means and groars
there. Close by there is large cave.
which. according to the story told by
men who have explored 1t. has rooms
as large as large house, and some
phenomenon Of nature back in Its dark
est recesses furnishes limitations Of
thunder and lightning that to the ner-
vous explorer seem decidedly real.
The origin of the story dates back
great many years, to the time when the
Indians inhabited this part Of the coun-
try. The tribe whose headquarters
were near the spot above mentioned
found more gold in that neighborhood.
according to the story, than they could
carry away. and they buried the four
pots with their dead chief, and went
away, leaving their old hunting ground
to the encroaching whites. MIR. Casey
says that when he was young man
he worked in the timber In that vicin-
ity, and found many tomahawks stick
ing in trees, also other Indian relics.
and states that he and n companion
named Salyers dug for the treasure.
which is said to be seven feet under
ground, years ago, and that. after dig
cling down six feet, Salyers suddenly
came out of the hole shaking with ter
ror and vowed never to venture IN
again. He claimed that some unseen
force had given him terrible shaking.

SENATE RATIFIED HAY.PAUNCE-
FOTE TREATY
By an Almost Unanimous vote-Two Amend.
msnts Were Proposed. but Both We're
DecisIveiy Defeated - Principal Speech Of
thss Day Was bv Teller In Opposition to
lts Ratification.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE senate rat.
flied the Hay-Pauncefote isthmian canal
treaty by the decisive vote OF " to e.
The vote was reached few minutes be-
fore s o'clock, after almost an hours
discussion behind closed doors. There
we're no sensational incidents during the
entire time. The debate was confined
exclusively to discussion of the merits
of the agreement and the policy OF its
provisions.
The principal speech OF the day was
made by Senator Teller in opposition to
the treaty, and he was followed in rapid
succession by IL or Is other senators
who spoke briefly either for or against
the motion to ratify.
Among the other speakers Of the day
we're Senators Clay, Fairbanks, McCum-
Der, McLaurin, (Miss.), Culberson, NAL
lory, Mason, Tillman, Bacon and Bate.
Senator Clay was one of the southern
senators who spoke in advocacy OF the
treaty. He contended that the treaty
should be ratified because it assured the
abrogation of the Clayton-B ulwer treaty.
Senator Mason made 2 strong plea for
tho treaty, expressing his qualification
that American diplomacy had succeeded
in securing such triumph a. was this
treaty over the original Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
Senator Bacon's speech was made in
connection with q motion to amend the
treaty. In presenting this amendment
he said that he was in favor OF canal
and would vote for the treaty with the
Davis amendment. He opposed the
treaty because he did not believe it would
give the United States full control OF the
canal. He said that Great Britain
rejected the amended Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, but sent us another treaty about
identical with the former treaty az
amended, except as regards the Davis
amendment. He coneidered that fac,
the most important feature OF the whole
controversy.
There was an exceptionally full senate
when the time arrived for a vote, but
the certainty of ratification had become
80 apparent that there was compare
lively little interest in the proceedings.
The votes on the amendments sue.
ceeded each other quickly.
Senator Culbertson offered an amend.
ment to insert the Davis Notifications
paragraph of the last session. This was
defeated, Is to 62.
Senator Bacon then offered an amend.
menf striking out in the preamble the
reference to the Clsyton-Bulwer treaty,
the words without impairing the gen
eral principles OF naturalization estab-
lished in article VIII of that conven'
ton :" also the following words in ar.
ticle VII relative to the purchase Of
stock "subject to the provisions of the
present treaty; also all of article III
relating to the naturalization of the canal
also all of article ~ declaring against
change of territorial sovereignty. All
this was embodied in ono amendment
and was defeated Is to 60.
The treaty then was ratified by vote
of p to 6.

The Chinese government is beset be-

Britain, the United States and Japan on
the other. The government is helpless
and will yield to that faction able to
bring the strongest pressure to bear.
Prince Ching is distinctly more friendly
to Great Britain than was Ii Hung
Chang. The British. American and the
Japanese representatives here have sep
arately visited Prince Ching and insisted
that they be shown any treaty before it
10 signed. Prince Ching has submitted
to them the draft OF the treaty practically
identical to the treaty already published
Prince Ching is now pressing Russia
for more definite terms, the present form
of the treaty being go vague IN its inn
portant points as virtually to leave
Russia free hand. The Japanese min
lister has taken strong stand in the
matter, and has notified Prince Ching
that Japan will require concessions
equivalent to all the advantages conceded
to Russia in Manchuria.
