THE CONSPIRACY is DEAL.
Plans for Overthrowing Canadian Rule
and Establishing a Republic In
the KIondike Collapsed.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 22.-The Even
ing Times of Seattle publishes a story
which is offered as confirmation of n
story published in the San Francisco
Call to the effect that Il conspiracy
had been planned covering the entire
Northwest Territoryfor the overthrow
of the Canadian rule and the estab-
lishment of an independent republic.
The Times, in it's article, lays great
stress on the story obtained from
Fred Clark, formerly a stage manager
in this city, but who has been in the
Yukon for some time, in which he adj
mits a knowledge of the Order of The
Midnight Sun, which is supposed to
have been organized for the sole pur-
pose of rebellion. 1t is claimed that
the order was originally instituted in
strict secrecy in Dawson, in Deem
Der of 1900, and from there spread
along the length of the upper Yukon
with branches as far as Circle City
on one hand, and to Skagway and At
lin in the other direction.
1t is claimed that men came to Sc
attic in the interests of the uprising
and solicited support in the way of
financial contributions. The Times
saws that no arms were bought.
The total membership of the Order
of The Midnight Sun is placed at l.
500, although the members confidently
expected outside assistance that
would bring the total of the army of
insurgents to almost 5000.
The Times says that in the early
,o,1o
was issued and secretly distributed to
the disaffected miners on the upper
Yukon, in which 10 different clauses
were given as being causes for an
uprising. These dealt with defective
Observation-Disclosures of officials,roy-
atty, liquor traffic and gambling. de-
laws in the courts, British Columbia
alien act duties, miners and loggers'
licenses, and recording fees n
boundary disputes. A similar circular
was handed to business men of Skag-
way, in which they were solicited to
add financial support to the enter
prise, and for a time Clark made his
headquarters at the latter place, con-
Quoting a junta in the interests of
the organization.
The plotters,according to the Times,
anticipated no trouble in getting to-
gether men enough to overpower the
mounted police at different towns in
the interior. A raid was to be started
on the border, and as fast as a town
was overpowered a revolutionary gov
! eminent was to be installed. Local
conspiracy is said to be dead, owing
to the publication of it's secrets.

cANADA,s CAPITAL AROUSED.
Never Was There Such ExcTtement-
Physicians Association Try
ing to Explain.

Ottawa, Cam, Nov. 25.-This city il
stirred up as never before. Some seven
years ago the local papers published
an account of a man named George
Fl. Kent. of 40s Gilmour street, who
was dying of Bright's Disease and
who at the very last moment after sew
eral of our best physicians had de-
clared he couldn't live twelve hours;
was saved by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
People who know how low Mr.. Kent
was refused to believe that he was
cured permanently, and the other day
in order to clinch the matter the pa
pers published the whole case over
again and backed up their story by
sworn statements made by Mr.. Kent
in which he declares most positively
that in 1894 he was given up by the
doctors and that Do6d's Kidney Pills
and nothing else saved him, and furth-
err that since the day that Dodd's Kid
new Pills sent him back to work seven
years ago,h he has not lost a single min
ute from his work Che is a printer in
the American Note Printing Com
pany).
Mr.. Kent is kept quite busy during
his spare hours answering inquiries
personally and by letter, but he is so
grateful that he counts the time well
spent. Indeed he and his wife have
shown their gratitude to Dodd's Kid
ney Pills in a very striking way by
having their little girl, born in 1896,
christened by the name of "Dodds."
A14ooaXber 1T is the most sensafioua
case that has ever occurred in the his
terry of medicine in Canada and the
perfect substantiation of every detail
leaves no oom to doubt either the
completeness or the permanency of
the cure.
The local Physicians have made the
case of Kent and Dodd's Kidney Pills
the subject of discussion at several OF
the private meetings of their Associa-
ton.

TOM JOHNsON'S NEW MOVE.
Suit i'm Mandamus to Compel State
Board to Reassess Railroads
for Taxation.

Columbus, o., Nov. 22.-Mayor Tom
L.. Johnson, of Cleveland, yesterday
filed a motion in the supreme court
asking leave to bring suit in manda-
mus to compel the state board of
equalization to reasses the railroads
of the state for the purpose of tax
alton, their valuation to me deter
mined by the market value of their Sc
curities. No opposition was offered
by the attorney general, it being the
desire of the state officials to have
the powers of the board of equaiza-
ton judicially determined. The court
will decided the motion next Tues
day.

MONROE DOCTRINE ON TOP.
England win IndorseItand All Oth.
er lower Must Respect IT,
Americas Statesmen.

London, Nov. 23.-The most import
ant position in to-day's edition of the
Spectator is occupied by a discussion
of a proposition that Great Britain
should give it's formal adherence to
the Monroe doctrine. The Spectator
says:
IF America will define the Monroe
doctrine, why should we not pledge
ourselves not to infringe upon 1tE
When we had acknowledged this doc-
trine, America might propose 1t TO
the rest of the powers for ndorse
ment. If she did, the powers could
only refuse. If they adhered, their
adherence would be of great use, not
to America, but to the cause OF
peace, for it would eliminate a great
many of the notable causes of war.
If the Monroe doctrine became part
of the public law of the civilized
world, the risk of a war breaking
out with regard to European inter
ference in Brazil or Spanish Amer
lea, now always a possibility, Woulo
then pass away.
Possibly no other power but Great
Britain would at first be willing to
recognize the Monroe doctrine as
binding. Even SO it would be worth
our while to pledge ourselves to re-
spect it, for we never mean to attacR
that doctrine, and ooner or later
u example will probably be fol-
lowed by other powers"
The Spectator also approves the
canal treaty, and in another article
on Secretary Hays foreign policy, the
paper says:
mo country in the world can show
two greater CT worthier statesmen
than President Roosevelt and Secre'
tarv Hay.e

BONNIE MURDER TRIAL.
UnimpOrtant Testimony Marks ths
Days observation-disclosures
Over Sunday.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Five wit
nesses were heard, yesterday, in the
trial of Miss Ida BONNIE for the muir
der of James S. Ayers, Jr. Four OF
these witnesses were police officers
who had gone to Ayers room after
discovery of the body by employees
of the kenmore hotel, and the fifth
was W. w. Warfield, who was propri.
etor of the hotel at the time of the
tragedy. The policemen testified tode-
tails of the wounds, position of the
body and arrangement of the furni'
ture in the room. Mr.. Warfield's tes.
timony was very brief. In response
to a question by Attorney Fulton, OF
Mrs. Bonine's counsel, he said that
Mrs. Bonine had made arrangements
to leave the hotel before the tragedy
occurred, but both the question and
answer subsequently were ruled out
1t is understood to be the intention
of defense to recall Mr.. Warfield later
for the purpose of eliciting informa-
ton from him upon this and other
points in Mrs. Bonine's behalf.
Mrs. Bonine's party in the court
room was increased, yesterday, by the
addition of her brother, Grant Henry,
who lives at ST. Joseph, Mo. Only
nee during the day did Mrs. BONNIE
display emotion, and that was when
the bloody ~undershirt which had been
by Ayres on the night of the
killing was identified by Officer
Brady.
The court adjourned until Monday
to give the attorneys in the case an
opportunity to prepare themselves for
the work in hand. Justice Anderson
expressed the opinion that the adj
journment would expedite the trial

TALK OF MILITARY CIRCLES.

Lord Brassey says the British navy
In men and ships excels any other two
nations.
The soldiers of the United States
army, who receive $13 a month, are best
paid in the world. Those of the British
army, who receive a shilling a day. are
next.
The pay of the officers of the Ger
man army is very small, and no n can
obtain a commission unless he has a
sufficient private fortune to yield him
an income of at least 500 marks ($125)
a year.
There has been an extraordinary
demonstration in the Russian press of
ill-win toward Count von Waldersee,
in spite of the honors showered upon
him by the car. The st. Petersburg
journals have described him as lack
ing c~onspicnously every essential quail
ity and attribute which a soldier
should possess, but possessing all the
characteristics of the military po1tI-
clan which are most distasteful to peo-
pie of common sense and broad1mind-
ed principles.

DIRECT FROM THE SCENE.
Hope Almost of Finding
Any Alive.

Telluride, Col, Nov. 22.-Persons
who came into town, Thursday MORN
ing, from the Smuggler-Union mine,
which is four miles distant, between
Marshall gulch and the mountains,
say the workers have almost aban-
doned hope of finding any of the i'm
prisoned meD alive. Every entrance
to the property is the scene of active
work and the willing hands + only
stayed by fear of certain death il
they enter the smoke-filled levels.
Every few minutes men make a
rush inside, only to crawl back help
less and strangling as they meet the
foul smoke which fills the tunnels and
levels.
The officers refuse to talk, either in
giving information or in expressing
opinions as to the likelihood of early
rescue of the unfortunates yet in the
mine. They will only say that the
work will be continued until every
body has been recovered, and will be
FASTENED in the hope that many may
be found alive.

ever, that work VIII be Contin-
ued Until Every Body Has Been
Recovered, and Hope that Some
May be Found StiII Alive.

Denver, Col, Nov. 22.-Only a meager
report concerning the disastrous hre
at the Smuggler-Union mine near
Telluride, Col, has been received at
the local Office of the company. 1t is
not known here, as yet, whether the
loss of life will reach 100, as feared,
or whether any bodies ave been
found in addition to the % which
were recovered and Identified
Wednesday night. The damage
caused by the fire, in the loss of the
buildings, is estimated al $4,000, but
the mine will have to be closed for at
least a month as the mouth of the
Bullion tunnel, through which the
Smuggler-Union mines I worked, is
located not over so or 60 feet from
the burned buildings.
The Deadly smoke
The smoke, from the start. seemed
TO be drawn to the mouth of the tun-
mel and it encircled hat point as if
there was no other place of escape.
This was due to suction, rs the air
in the mine was warmer than that
outside. On account of the suction
movement the majority of mine and
tunnel entrances have iron doors
ready to lower in place at a minutes
notice to stop smoke or fire. I'm
fortunately, the Bullion tunnel did
not possess one of these safeguards.
Supplying Effect of h Fire.
1t appears that much of the stupe-
flying effect of the fire was due to
the flames in the converter house,
which was saturated with oil. and
which emitted the darkest smoke
Imaginable. The tunnel is situated
about midway between h top or
apex of the mine, and the ninth level.
1t is an intermediate working tun-
mel. The seventh level is 1850 feet
below the surface and the ninth level,
where between rs and 80 miners we're
working when the fire occurred, is q
900 feet below the surface
