An amusing incident. according to
the New York Commercial Advertiser,
occurred at Cuxhaven during some
landing maneuvers carried out by the
German fleet. A fleet was supposed to
be forcing the entrance to the Elbe.
which was defeated by troops on shore.
The first attack had been repulsed
during a violent storm. When the en-
emy retired the soldiers put their rifles
in n guardhouse to protect them from
the rain. Suddenly came tue news of
another attack. When the troops went
to get heir, arms the key OF the house
could not be found, and the position
was captured by the enemy without
loss.

GERMAN Army Need. onIeer..

The German Army is badly in need
OF officers. This is due directly TO the
Increased cost of living. Officers need
more clothes and more expensive
equipment than they did formerly. and
the number Of high priced banquets
where expensive wines are drunk has
increased greatly. This. combined with
the decline of agriculture. has kept out
of the army many young men who
otherwise would have adopted that
profession. Moreover. officers are gen.
orally retired after twenty years SER
vice, with the rank OF colonel. and
the pension is SO small that they find
it difficult to maintain their families
on 1t.

whs, rari. Doe. For Poor Children.

In Harper's Magazine stoddard
Dewey gives some interesting facts
concerning the fresh air colony main
tained by the municipality OF Paris
for the children OF the poor;
.'In 1889 there were 200 children 10
profit by this colony OF Mandres-sur-
vair; now there are 1000 each year, and
the property has been handed over per-
manently to the Eleventh Ward. The
movement has become general In the
Paris schools, and the municipality
has come TO the aid OF the insufficient
ward school funds. In 1891 the city
raised It's contribution for these school
colonies to 100000 francs, and the
school funds OF the twenty wards gave
$4,000 more; and J53G children. under
the care of 200 teachers. had their
summer outing. Mandres is the lnrg-
est of these colonies; the total expense
of journey back and forth and three
weeks stay is flfty-three franc and
eighteen centimes for each child-a
little over $40. as exchange goes!

Certain developments Ia the situation
regarding the proposed settlement Of the
Alaska boundary question BY a mixed
commission Of American and British iu'Ists
hsy, caused some unsasInsss In admins
tratIvn circles, saws a Washington dispatch
Of February 27th. The statement was
freely circulated that there Is a prospect
that the British givsmmsn, will not ap-
point any representatives on the cOmmIs-
sion, and that the whole scheme eontsm-
plated In the reeentlv negotiated treaty
will fall through. The precise ground r
this belief cannot be learned, but It Is GER
tain that the criticism 10 Canada Of the
proposed appointment Of Senator'S Lodge
and Turner as members Of the commission,
has produced an unfavOrabIs Impression In

II Is difficult to see how the British gov

FANTAfE TRAIL
Frank Breeze Tells About
Conditions of the Trail.

Frank Breeze, one Of the freight and p's-
ssnRer carriers on the Fantsll trail arrived
from Log cabin on last nights train and
IS at the Dewey. Mr.. Breeze saws that
the trail has Esver before been so we'll
equipped for handling the traffic as at
present. There are plenty Of dog teams
on tn. trail and one can ALWAYS be found
at Log Cabin to take passengers from the
train as soon as thsv arrive. While the
record time 10 Atlln via the Fantal Is 10
hours the schedule UnlfOrmallv made bv
the dog mushsrs Is from o:3o m. to p.
m. next dav when the passengers are
landed In Atlln. The rOidhouss seeommp-
dailons are good and the stands are dis
trlbulsd so that thew can alw VS. be
reached at meal and bed time. There are
FIVE teams steadily on the trail.
Nj Breeze says thit the development Of
the Atlln district the coming season will
warrant the employment Of man OF two
upon the trail during coming winters and
larger loads can then be hauled with less
work. One man could cut down the
hump In the trail In places where Il stands
up above the surrounding snow, so that
the danger Of tipping over could be avoided,
