A Dawson story tells of A tenderfoot who located claim with the aid of pair of field glasses. The man, whose name is Joseph Butler, was on trip up Baker creek looking for favorable place to stake clain. Coming out to point from whence he could survey the valley, he spied through his heid glasses high bench which attracted his attention. He immediately staked a claim there and sank shaft.

 That the Canadian government has decided 10 stand absolutely on it's rights in Hecate straits, that it will for mally declare this favored haunt of the toothsome haIibut d closed sea, and that it proposes at once to build a swift armed cruiser for the protection of these waters against American poachers, is the information contained in a letter received today by Secretary Skene, of the local Board of Trade, from MT. c.

 A cablegram received by Capt. Sprott Balcom, of Victoria, from Cape Town gives news of the arrival there of the sealing schooner Agnes G. Donohue, with his brother, Capt. Rupert Balcom, in command, with 3,700 sealskins taken at the edge of the Antarctic ice, far to the south and east of Cape Good Hope, making a total of 4020 sealskins with the catch of 320 landed in December at Durban. The catch is probably the most valuable sealing catch ever taken by a Victoria or other sealer in the seven seas. The highest catch made in the Boring sea in the heyday of sealing when a returned sealer was looked up- on much after the manner of home coming Klondiker, was that of the Viva in 189O when she brought home 369O skins, and the late Capt. Clarence Cox in the Triumph brought home over 3,50O.-Railway $ Marine News.

PULLMAN UPHOLDS
 FREEDOM OF PRESS

Washington, January 22--Declaring that "No patriot can contemplate, without great alarm. the possibility of the Pres ident's success in the Panama libel cases, now being investigated by the grand jury in this city and in New York, Senator Tillman of South Carolina, in a state ment tonight sounded a strong note of warning the question of the freedom of the American press. The statement is as follows:
 'The issue is momentous one. Jeffer- son declared that, as between a govern ment without newspapers and newspapers without government, he would choose the latter, because when properly in formed the people would protect them- selves even without government, through the instrumentality of public opinion. A free press can alone preserve free institutions. Our great danger now lies in the control of the press and its consequent subserviency to those who use 1t to deceive the people and perpetuate their grasp upon power. The American people cannot guard too jealousy the right of freedom of speech and freedom to print whatever Is in the public interest The newspapers now under fire for their efforts to expose corruption in high places should have the active support of every true American, for their cause Is the cause of all Americana"

TRADE EXPANDS
 VERY GRADUALLY Mere Confidence Is Displayed
 In Spring Orders CONSERVATISM IS NOTED Uncertainty as to Tariff Legislation Is a Factor In Retarding Trade, But
 Many Industries Are Up to Normal.
CONSERVATISM IS NOTED

New York, January 22.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Trade is expanding slowly but steadily, wholesale and jobbing lines noting some good orders for immediate delivery and rather more confidence in placing orders for spring. Conservatism however is noted in many sections and some markets report a feeling of disappointment at the rate of progress making. In the leading industries the tendency Is still toward gradual resumption but in few cases is the output up to a good normal. Un- certainty as to tariff changes is still widely mentioned as a bar to fullest ac- tivities, this being notable especially in Iron and steel where present demand is below expectations, and in some lines of textiles. Reports from the railways are of an increased merchandise traffic north west and southwest. but this is to a certain extent offset by restricted move ment of grain to market.
 Expansion of a conservative character seems most evident in the cotton goods line.
 The market for leather is steady and firm.

Dun 6 Co.'s Review.

New York, January 22-R- G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Development in trade is along conserv- ative lines. The prospect of a change in the customs revenue laws naturally curtails operations in a number of ini- portant industries, and many enterprises that would add materially to the volume of business are held in check until there is definite knowledge regarding the pro- visions of these laws In the south trade in wholesale lines is considerably below normal, and full resumption is not yet in sight. The movement of cotton con- tinues large and prices are firmly main tained.
 Quiet conditions still prevail in iron and steel and no transactions of impor- tance are noted.
 Cast iron pipe is the most active depart ment of the iron market. Consumption of copper is not keeping pace with the record production, and prices are declin- ing in consequence.
 Manufacturers of cotton goods are now displaying more independence than for some time past, partly owing to the firm ness of raw material, but principally as a result of the marked improvement in the China trade The export movement to that country since the beginning of the year has, been wider in extent and covered a larger range of goods than at any time for the past three years. In the home market heavy goods are more active and prices are firm. While most woolen lines except fine fancy wor- steds have now been opened, the number of buyers operating is still small and prices have not been definitely settled Yarn prices remain unchanged but there is little movement.
 The volume of business placed in the Boston market by visiting shoe buyers falls below expectations, manufacturers in most instances demanding advances which wholesalers are unwilling to pay
