CLAIMS HUDSON BAY


Canada Proposes to ExpeI American
Whalers-Expedition That May
Open an Important International
Controversy.
The decision in the Alaskan boun-
Diary affair gives additional interest in
Canada to the Dominion government ex-
Dedition to Hudson bay. 1t is more than
ever a question now with Canadians
how far the yearly occupation of Hud-
son bay for many years by American
whalers and other fishing craft may
have laid the foundation for a valid
claim on the part of the United States,
if not to the territory surrounding the
bay. or to some of the islands therein.
at least to the right of continuing The
inland fisheries.
There is, undoubtedly, a kind of pan
icky fear in some Canadian quarters
hat the recent victory of American
diplomacy in the Alaskan matter may
smbolden the neighboring republic to
attempt hemming in of the Dominion
tn almost every side. The renewal of
the Blaine-Bond treaty between the
United States and Newfoundland is in
terpreted as movement toward the
annexation of Newfoundland. and the
possible purchase of Greenland from
tinued occupany of territory in Hudson
bay by American fishermen are viewed
with no little alarm in certain Cana
dian circles.
1t is even urged now as a reason why
the Dominion government should has
tily dispatch Captain Bernier on his
projected voyage of the discovery to
the north pole, that it is of national
importance that the flag to be first
planted there should be that of Cana
da. unless she is prepared to see for
eign flag float over the territory in the
extreme north to which she has always
laid claim.
At all events. the question of the
legitimacy of Canadian claims to the
exclusive sovereignty of both land and
water in Hudson bay will be put to a
test by the expedition which has now
reached it. with definite instructions
from Ottawa to drive out of that inland
sea the American whalers who have.
it is asserted, been using it as their
own for many decades past and disre-
garding British sovereignty and al
legged Canadian rights there.
There is also to be an important
commercial side to the expedition. As
soon as the American ships have been
ordered out of the bay explorations
will be made into the musk OK coun-
try to the north. where gold is said to
exist, and there are hopes of locating
there what may prove to be a second
Klondike.
Next spring. when the ice breaks up
and navigation is possible. it will pro-
reed to Fort Churchill. on the west
side of the bay. the proposed terminus
of q projected line of railway from the
Pacific coast and the Northwest wheat
fields, which will shorten the route to
Europe by more than 600 miles over
that via Montreal and Quebec. Sound
ings will be made in the bay as to the
depth of water in the approaches to
the proposed port, and then there will
be scientific study of the ice currents
and practicability of navigation of
Hudson strait through the entire sea

A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost
L n notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century.
A name that starts terror in the heart of every
Spaniard. A man OF steady nerve, clear head,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement. 1t appeared on later converse
ton that Peruna has been used in his family,
where it is a favorite remedy.
l. Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that great and famous a man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

later. Several other innovations are
proposed along this line.
The news columns will be devoted
almost exclusively to news for home

planned. each suited to the various di-
visions OF the city. Mr.. Stead says the
editorial views will be intensely po-

of the people. The natural timidty which
so many people have felt about giving en-
dorsements to any remedy is giving way.
Gratitude and a desire to help others has
inspired thousands of people to give public
testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would
not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that many men of national
and international reputation have been will
ing to give unqualified and public endorse
ments to proprietary remedy. No amount
of advertising could have accomplished such
a result. Peruna has won its merits.

ONE LIFE LOST
In Burning Of Forrista|| Block
at CoIebrook, N. H.
Aged Owner Seen to Enter Doomed
Building, but Not to Leave.
Loss, About $4,000, With Only Par
tiaI Insurance.

Colebrook, N. H., July 29.-Several
buildings We're burned here, early
Wednesday, resulting in the loss of a
life. During the early part of the fire
Jesse Forristall, owner of the wooden
block, in which the flames originated,
was seen to enter the building, but as he
could not be found after the fire, it is
presumed he persisted. Mr.. Forristall
was IS years old and quite feeble. At
one time the village was in danger, but
was saved largely through the steam
power at Hammond & Stevens mill.
The total loss is at least $4,000.
The entire town was aroused about
A. NJ, by the ringing of bells and cries
of fire. When the villagers fastened to
the scene, the flames were in possession
of the F'orristall block. 1t is supposed
they We're caused by the overturning of
a kerosene lamp in Mr.. Forristalrs
room. Some of those who arrived early
claim that they saw the old gentleman
leave the burning structure and then
re- ENTER. He was not seen afterwards.
The fire spread to J. S. Benefits
block and a school, several business
| firms losing their property. Streams Of
water, obtained through the opwer at
Hammond & Stevens mill, enabled the
village people to keep the fire from
burning other property.
The loss on Forristall block, exclusive
| of contents is $4,000, against which
there is an insurance of $4,000. Frank
Carbee, a tenant, lost everything, his
| family escaping without proper cloth
| ing.
NJ J. Williams & Co.. milliners, lose
$4,000, partially covered by insurance.
Other tenants lose $1,000. On the block
owned by J. S. Bennett, including pool
ROOM and tenants, the loss is $4,000, in
surance, $500; loss on school house,
$4,000, no insurance. Several minor
losses We're sustained by property own

brick dust or sediment in the urine,
catarrh of the bladder, constant head
ache, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, irregular heart beating, rheuma-

feeling, loss of flesh, are all signs of
kidney trouble.
If you are in doubt about your Nd

dish, brick dust sediment, or if it is
cloudy, use the Tablets at once.
