Investigation of Yukon Par

It appears ss though the late Yukon election will be contested. ThIs unfOnun. ate circumstance will be due to IrrsEulsrt- lty In the elections that were absolutely unnecessary 10 accomplish tn. result of electlng Ey Governor Ross to parliament. The reiurs from Miller erek, Glacier creek aud Caribou are said 10 have been inflated beyond what might be expected 10 De re- turned from the polling of the normal population of those points, Elections come high h the Yukon territory and should the expeus. of another oue with the added costs psrsuant to an investigation be nects' slry, there will be considerable deducted fc m the revenues that might perhaps better be deyotei 10 other purposes. If 1t be true that false returns or illegal practices have been employed to swell the returns at these places lt Is very unfortunate as whoever may have been guilty of ihs al- legged Irregularities have by mistaken zeal done an lnealeulabls Injury to the cause they intended to aid.
