The interesting letter from the White Horse correspondent, upon the subject of Canadian port on Lynn canal, is published in full The Alas kan is always glad Co publish communi- cations upon subjects of local interest that are not bred ot malice or eouched in billiusgate. regardless of how differ ent the opinions advanced may be ayerse to the policy of the sheet.
 Notwithstanding how ardently the people of the Yukon or the people of Skagway may desire the Government to cede territory tO Canada, there IS not a jot of reason upon which Co found the iaiutest hope that the cession will be made. Laying patriotism ani pride of country aside, the move wouldiufrin- gs upon a nationi principle that has been defended at an expense ot eight hundred millions ot dollars and over four hundren thousand lives. Even did it involve but a mere doctrine, like that advanced by President Monroe, it Is doubtful if Congress would stretch the point out of mere accommodation to the friendliest of powers. ln the darkest hour of the Civil War Con- gress held that any adjustment based lpon the cession ot territory from the Union Was not so much as debatable.
 Pyramid Harbor will remain an American port, whether a railroad be built from that place or not. There will be no trouble obtainiug charter for A railroad from the United States. whosOeyer will may build railroad anywhere through a wild Americ n country. The United States has thrown Skagway freely open to the Canadians. IL has not even required a treaty to in- duce the Government ,o open this DOT, for their Use. But the Canadian Gov ernment has punished itself gcueralb and the Yukon territory especially, b! the fragrant abuse Of the privileges that have been 70 freely extended be- yond the very pale of treaty stipula tions. The Canad an Cove rnment has persisted in refusing Co allow their goods to rem in in bond lt Skagway aud hay 90 dtscrimjndted against this port as to oblige Skdgway m rchantS. dealing iu Canad sn SOOds, Co piy more than uble duty.

SUBPOENA RICH GAMESTERS ?
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAID TO
HAVE PROCESS OUT NOW.

Reginald vanderbiit's Name Mentioned
Long List Of Habitues OF Gaming
Rooms C0ilected-Hote ikeepers and
Hotel Detectives Also " anted TO Testify
II was reported around the Criminal
Courts Building yesterday that wealthy
men who have frequented Canfields are
to be put under subpoena to testify in the
hearing on Wednesday Of d. ". Bucklin,
alleged manager Of Canfeld's. This story
was neither affirmed nor denied by District
Attorney Jerome or any Of his professional
staff. Its source lay In some OF the clerks
in the Office who have chance TO
look at subppnas that are sent out,
The name OF Reginald Vanderbilt was
mentioned by them. 1t was said that he
h al either been served or that subpoena
servers were looking for him. 1t was also
said that many subpoena servers are out
looking for other young men and for hotel
proprietors and hotel detectives.
What was not definitely stated, however.
was whether these subj onas called upon
the men named In them to appear at the
Bucklin or in the John Doe proceedings to
be made after the holidays or before the
January Grand Jury. That there will be
issued many subp9nas for Canfield's
patrons is no secret. as Mr.. Jerome himself
has said 80 many times during the last few
months.
The only thing that Is likely TO prevent
his insisting upon the presence Of almost
any wealthy gambler that you might
think would be the voluntary pleading Of
guilty by the gamblers Themselves This
"a an 'utimatum' he has given them, to
stand for their places or see their patrons

No one in the District Attorneys ONCE

TO risk term in jail in order to shield his
patrons. Hence. 1t Ia commonly believed
that the next developments In the gambling
situation, providing tho gamblers DO not
come forward and take their medicine W Ill be
the summoning Of club men, hotel pro-
prietors, house Diet, ctives, theatrical men
and others living a quasi-pubio life in the
gambling regions who know where gamb-
ling houses are and how to get in.

loin. by hotelkeepers. Jacobs put up
at the Rossmore Hotel, which is kept by
Paddy Roche, the wel-known sporting
man. Jacobs, who was known as Paul
Townsend James at the Rossmore. met many
persons through r. che, he says.
The work of finding out just who were
the men in the Tenderloin and in Schmtt-
berger's precinct who knew all about
gambling-houses and who had the entree,
has been going on for months. The District
Attorney has large list Of them. The
number runs into hundreds.

BLACKWELL'S ISLAND BRIDGE.
A Third Plan Recommended by the Mayors
Commission OF Engineers.

The commission Of engineers appointed
by the Mayor to pass upon the alterations

In the original plans for the Blackwen's

together new plan which will call for q
bridge 20 feet narrower than the first-de-
signed structure and II feet wider than

mendations made by the commission:
That two sid walks, each not less than

two qddi'ion trolley lines inside OF the
trusses. one line being adJ1c-nt to each

way between the guards snail not be less
tilhn 80 feet and. vii out columns, requiring
clear width OF not less than So feet between

We further recommend that solid foor

TIE remaining port ions OF the oyerhan gin

NEWSBOY'S DEATH UNEXPLAINED
Police weaken on Their Greek Flower
Pc<iler" Theory.

No arrest was made yesterday by the
detectives who are trying to find out who
killed Michael Kruck. the newsboy who
was strangled in Central Park on "Wednesday
night. The police are still hunting for the
Greek flower seller who had trouble with
the newsboys and It is likely that he win
be arrested II he Is found The police,
however. did not take az much stock In the
theory that the Greek committed the crime
as they did the day before. They say that
II he chased the boy he would either have
caught him or given up before he had gone
al far into the Park as where the boys
body was found. They think that young
Kruok must have gone there with some
one In whom he had confidence.
Capt. Titus was mysterious when he
talked about the case yesterday. He sal
that his men had not entirely discarded
the theory that the flower seller may have
committed the crime, but were nj work
on an entirely new line tn" mos, promising
clue which has as yet been turned up He
would not tell what the clue was, al d SO id
that II would be day or two before il could

(Rep., n. j. was agreed to providing for

eulogies upon the late Senator ". j. Sewell
OF New Jersey.
In Committee Of the Whole the House

lative, Executive and judicial Appropria.

consent being limited to ten minutes, This
was occupied by Gen. Bingham (Rep.. Pa
in charge OF the measure. In reading the
committees statement Of the contents o
the bin AMI by several members enga gin 3
in a colloquy regarding the probable per-
manence of the force of temporary clerks
in the War Department, numbering about
600
Gen. Bingham said that the committee
had found that whenever any clerical force
had been covered into the civil service.
II had been impossible to secure anv -
duction therein BY continuing the force
as temporary, the committee hoped that
the Secretary of War might in the ensuing
wear accomplish even greater economies
than In the present year, when there had
been n reduction of s55 900.
The bill was then read by paragraphs
for amendment.
Mr.. Crumpacker Rep., Ind moved TO
Increase the annual allowance to members
for stationery and postage from Sl25 to
$500. He said that $500 was less than the
average amount paid by members for these
objects and for printing, and Mr.. Crum-
packer was of opinion that the expense
ought not to be borne by the members.
The amendment was ruled out on point
of order.
Without substantial amendment the COM
