K. O. Sylvester, whom from the be- giabIrg, has been an important fsetor In the fl .irs of Skagwav, could no, be seen We einesdsy evening, after his arrival from D ,wSon, on account of the la,eness of the train ard business matters that engaged that gentleman until late Into the nlRht. When called on at his apartments In the Sylvester block yesterday, M. Sylvester said, in effect, that he had not had time to definitely formulate he plans he was dls- cussing with his partner, Mr. Graves. They were considering the proposition Of aedlng story to the Sylvester block, either 5v raising it from tn. ground or building a superstrueture. The basement would be transformed into lobby, hall, vestlbule and open stairway, essential for the ground floor of the frst-elass hotel Into which they contemplate transforming the building. MeSsrS. Sylvester and Graves also contemplate emtarking in business on Puget Sound. Mr. Sylvester has not de- cided whether he will return to the Klon- dke or not.
 Upon the outlook in the interior, MT. Sylvester says that the miulng industry on the Klondike creeks had reached its zenith and must decline as the diggings become exhausted The extension of placer mining must result from new dis eoveries. whi;h in so vast a country were of course most likely to te made.

ricutural possibilities of the Yukon were immense. Near Selkirk, W. II. Swine hart, who once conducted a newspaper at juneau, has welI-ordered fam ti forty aeres. The dwelling and outbuildings are neat, substantial and as handsome as may be seen upt any well ordered iarm in the east The land Is enclosed with good fence and he Is raising big crops of many kinds of vegetables and produce. This fsrm Is, moreover. financial success. At the mouth of Kirkman creek is a small field which yielded mature, well-grained oats at ,h, rate of Iso bushels to the acre.
 Under the present regime of the territory, however, farming Is out of the question because the land laws of Canada have not been extended to the Yukon where held lngs can alone be acquired by purchasing from the government at sIo per aere-,he price of good improved land In many of the eastern states. The Canadians, how ever, are perhaps wise in their generation, because from economic and political reasons it is no doubt desirable to bend all efforts towards settling th, vast plains of Alberta and other more contiguous but still complrltively vacant tracts of country. In wears to come Canada, can very prof- tsbly induce an emlgr ,lon from the nonh of Europ' that will transform the Yukon Into a wonderfully productive agricultural country.

SCANDAL AT BELGIAN COURT.
King Leopold Refuses to Receive
Princess Stephanie.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, September 22.-The
scandal arising from the revival of the
family quarrel between King Leopold and
his daughter, the Princess Stephanie
Countess of Lonyay). beside the bier Of the
late Queen Marie Henrette al Spa yester-
day. is agitating all classes. Popular SYM
rathy on all sides Is expressed for the
princess. who, although deeply affected by
the incident, makes no complaint. The
princess herself has given out simple
statement of the facts as follows:
THE precise facts are these: / was pray
ing at the bier of the queen when some one
came about O'Clock to tell me the king
would not receive me. l Immediately left
the death chamber. l had no interview
with his majesty"
1t was hoped by the public, who applaud
ed Princess Stephanies love match with
the Count of Lonyay, that the death of
the queen would lead to healing the rup-
ture. but the incident at Spa is taken to
demonstrate that the king is as irreconcil-
able as ever to what he openly has desig-
proval of the Austrian emperor, Francis
Joseph. The princess will probably leave
Brussels today to join her husband In Eng
land. Therefore she will not be present at
her mothers funeral During the whole
railroad journey from Spa to this city the
princess was shaken with sobs and arrived
here greatly prostrated. This morning she
attended a special requiem mass ordered by
herself On leaving the church she was
sympathetically greeted by the assembled
crowd.

CANADA WITHOUT COAL.
Impetus Given to the Manufacture Of
Peat for Fuel

A serious fuel famine confronts the people
of Canada as a result of the prolonged
Pennsylvania coal strike. according to a re-
port from United States Consul Seyfert at
Stratford, Ontario, dated September 5,
which was made public at the State Depart
ment today. Canada usually consumes an
nualy nearly 100000 tons of anthracite
coal, all Of which comes from Pennsylva-
MIA. Most of this comes in during the
summer months. but during the past sum-
mer no coal was delivered. This condition
Of affairs has given a tremendous impetus
to the manufacturing of peat for fuel The
whole question of making the inexhaustible
beds of bog commercially valuable, the
consul points out, lies in the drying pro-
cess, and he says that the genius who will
invent machine to satisfactorily extract
the moisture from crude peat will not only
make fortune, but will be q public bene-
factor. Hundreds of thousands of dollars
are being expended. it is stated In exper;-
ments intended to perfect machinery which
can convert the crude bog into a satisfac-
tory fuel to take the place, to a large ex-
tent, of hard coal.

SCARCITY OF MEAT.
Germans Protest Against the Exclu-
sion of Foreign Cattle.

An alarming increase in the price of meat
in Germany has brought forth numerous
appeals for the suspension of the stringent
rules prohibiting the importation of live cat
tie into the empire from abroad The
State Department today made public COM
munication received from Mr.. Jackson, sec
retary of embassy at Berlin, dated Septem-
Der 5, on that subject Mr.. Jackson states
that up to the date of his report the an
swers to the various appeals from munich
pal and other bodies to the appropriate
state and national authorities had in every
case been refusals ION sanitary grounds
The headline 'Fleischnoth' (scarcity of
meat, says Mr.. Jackson, is one now seen
in almost every issue of almost every news
paper, and the demand for more freedom of
importation of live hogs is increasing daily.
The newspapers call attention to the fact
that Russia is at present the only country
from which hogs can be imported into Ger
many, and then only in restricted numbers.
The papers also refer to the good corn
crop in the United States from which it is
argued that the price of American pork will
go down. They point out, however, that
American prices al present are too high to
make the importation of pork into Ger
many possible.

GUARD HOUSES ALL CROWDED
discipline of Troops Not Up to Salts
factory Standard.

Maj. Gen. Macarthur has submitted to
the War Department his annual renort as
commander of the Department of the
Lakes. 1t deals exclusively with the re-
ports of staff officers and their recommen-
cations concerning matters pertaining To
the army.
The behavior Of the troops at each post
Gen. Macarthur says, was reasonably sat
lstactory The offenses committed were
Ior the most part, of a minor character
and probably had their origin in conditions
+ incident to short service and to the natural
enthusiasm incident to the return home
from foreign service.
Col. Darlington, the Inspector reports the
discipline not up to a satisfactory standard.
He says:
The troops are now passing through the
perlOd following war, always a severe test
to discipline; and at this particular time
the difficulty is accentuated by the presence
with troops of SO many young officers of
some active service with rank superior TO
that now held, but unframed in many of
the fundamental principles pertaining to
the profession of arms. AS a rule thev on
pear to be imbued with the solderly spirit
ana a desire to perfect themselves. in the
details OF their chosen profession Poet
commanders have the grave responsihiIitv
OF organizing and conducting schools based
upon Scnemes OF instruction that will az
1ord the proper incentive and opportun;tv
to this class of officers"
Ihe troops. largely recruits or men who
on account of the necessities of the service
have received little preliminary training in
the school OF the soldier, are reported to
show the need of setting up. Instructions
nave accordingly been given to post COM
manders to pay especial attention to the
preliminary training as set forth in the
school OF the soldier. 1t is recommended
that facilities in the way of properly equip
ped .gymnasa DE provided for the training
of the soldiers.
The Inspector general reports that he
fouhd the guard houses at all the posts to
be overcrowded with general prisoners
undergoing sentences and awaiting trial,
usually for desertion. This condition is
extremely unsatisfa Glory from every point
of view and indicates necessity for the
existence of military prison.
Gen. Macarthur says: "The remarks af
the inspector general on this subject are
worthy OF careful attention.

FOR THE POWERS TO ACT.
This Country Looks for No Core
spondence on Hay Roumanian Note.

No answer has yet been received from
either Russia or Austria at the State De-
partment in response to Secretary Hays
presentation touching the Roumanian Jews.
Moreover it may be said that no answer is
expected from any of the powers upon this
subject beyond the usual formal state
ment from the United States ambassadors
and ministers abroad that they have COM
piled with the departments instructions to
read the notes to the various foreign min
listers who have returned Acknowledgements
of the same, with promises of it's consider
alton. The reason for this expectation .ias
in the fact that the departments functions
touching the Jewish question terminated. or
at least were Indefinitely suspended upon
the presentation of its note. Having
called the attention of the signatory pow
ers to the infractions by Roumania of the
treaty of Berlin, it now remains for the
powers themselves to decide among them
selves what shall be done, IT, indeed any
thing is to be done. Consequently, what
ever correspondence follows on this sub
ject of the treatment of the Roumanian
Jews will probably be exchanged directly
between the powers, and in it the United
States will have no part.
