SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR
MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS

Washington, Nov. 26.-The annual
,eport Of Secretary Hitchcock Of the
Interior Department has been made
public. The report highly indorses the
work and recommendations OF Com
missioner Of Pensions Evans and says
that the veterans have no more sincere
friend than their commissioner, "who
has served ms an enlisted man in the
armies Of the United States, and he
but maintains and defends the honor
OF their patriotic service when refus-
ing to ignore both the letter and spirit
OF the law, he declines to permit the
imposter, whether claimant or agent,
to shnre in the bounty provided for the
veteran and those dependent upon
him."
The report indorses the conclusions
submitted by Commissioner Of Indian
Affairs Jones regarding the present In
dian education system. The secretary
says:
"The management of the Indian SER

YUKON OFFICIALS HASTENING
TO HEAD OFF THE CONSPIRACY

Chicago, Nov. 26-Oyerland through
Alaska to the sea, by water to Seattle,
and through the United States TO OF
tawa, officials of the Yukon territory
are hurrying to plead at the Canadian
capital for help TO put down the rebel
lion threatened by members Of the Or
der of the Midnight Sun. Three of
these officials arrived at Chicago and
others are on the way.
That serious trouble Is imminent in
the far Northwest is candidly admitted
by three members of the Yukon De-
partment of Public Works, who We're
in consultation tonight with local cap
italists who have interests In that
country. The mee are d. MGR. May
nard, accountant; J. A. Tache, resi-
dent engineer, and r. Z. Mercier, as
sistant engineer.
A determined, united effort by a
band of at least 1900 men who have
been laying plans for nearly a year, is
the plot, MS described by the officials,
to establish an Independent govern
ment. Seven-eighths Of the men are
Americans, and they have grievances
and the ability to set them forth in
convincing style. They believe they
have power to secure by force the
rights which they declare have been
denied them.
Governor General Mimic of Canada

AMERICAN RAILWAY

Mexico City, Nov. 26.-The report of
ex-senator Henry G. Davis to the Pan
American railway committee Of the
international American conferences has
been submitted to the session Of the
conference. Mr.. Davis seys In his re-
port that there is nothing impractica-
BILE nor visionary in the construction of
the road or the flotation Of the neces-
sary stock. He remarks that each of
such systems as the Pennsylvania the
New York Central, the Atchison, the
Northern Pacific, the Union Pacific,
the Southern Pacific, the Southern rail-
way and others have greater mileage
than is now necessary to assure the
realization Of the intercolonial railroad,
while the bonds and shares outstand-
ing Of each Of such systems are in ex-
cess Of the sum estimated Ms necessary
for the construction Of the railroad in
question. The Russian government has
just completed, says the senator, rail
road through Siberia at cost consid-
erably in excess of the amount esti-
mated as necessary for the completion
of an American intercontinental rail-
greater natural difficulties than are to

latter.
Mr.. Davis estimates the mileage of
the intercontinental railroad to be con-
structed at 5000 miles, in order to link
existing systems, and calculates the
cost at $500. 900. COO. or at the rate Of
$4,000 per mile.
Among the recommendations made in
the report are the following:
That railroad connecting all or the
greater part Of the nations represented
in the conference will contribute pow
erfully to the development Of the ma
terial relations and interests Of the said
nations.
That property, real and movable, of
the railroad employed in construction
and operation Of the road be exempted
from all national, provincial, state and
municipal taxation.
That the realization Of a work Of
such magnitude deserves to be encour.
The Holly chieftain., 1901-11-29

aged by means of subventions, land
grants or guarantees of minimum rate
Of interest.
That the railroad be declared forever
neutral ip order to assure freedom Of
traffic.
That the delegates to the conference
recommend with all possible earnest
ness to their several governments the
granting of liberal concessions to the
enterprise, in such form as may ap-
pear most suitable to each government.
The suggestion is also made that the
United States send competent person
to all Of the republics of America to
study the resources of the several
countries. the location and status Of ex-
listing railroads. prospective traffic for
the railroad when built and the con-
cession each government would be dis
posed to grant. 1t is also suggested the
committee become permanent.

the high government authorities about
conditions In the territory. This trouble
may assume an international phase,

I'VE heard Of the plans being laid to
overthrow our authority two months
ago, but believed 1t hare-brained
scheme of some adventurers. OF
course. no such plot could succeed for
more than little while, but the sever
ity of the Arctic winter may delay the
sending Of strong military forces
against the consplrators for six
months. The mounted police have al
ways heen competent heretofore to
take care of all dis0rderly characters
In the territory. but this affair is OF
too serious a nnture to be handled by
the police.
"Arms and ammunition, we were
told, have been secreted in great quan-
titles. Provisions have been cached at
various strategic points this side of

IN February of '93 the dismal crying of

enter her ne. ghbOr's room and tane the

sOrrows I'm the milk bowl, he was tucked
into his little bed to sleep until his wan
dering mother should come home to him.
Later in the evening the household was
awakened by the persistent cries of a
downright angry child. The little fellow
had discovered that he was alone again,
and promptly resented his neglect

of all this was that Mr.. Miller, Richards

and his name had not quite the standing
that II might have had.
So the baby left the rooming-house on
