Boy Scouts Trip p
 To Glacier Lake
By Weston Dalgetty

allow MT. Corser to get a picture of the glaciers and the mountains behind and finally decided to make camp there. Here was where We met out first troubles. No straight poles could be gotten for the tent but Ye finally managed to get a. long on some sticks that looked like knock:kneed person. After we got the tent up We carried stones for the camp fire and then went out for wood. In carrying the wood to the camp we all managed to get fine collection of scratches from a small forest of alders through which We had to pass. After the camp vas made three of the boys started the supper while the rest went out to look things oyer. It was then that we got our first look at the lake. At the further end of the lake We coul l see the glacier coming out of the can yon and the water was hllel with floating icebergs from it. The shores of the lake were very steep and there were many high walls of rock.
 The supper that nj sht vas a grand affair, the cooks forget there was anybody hut themselves to cook fer an1 lroduced what 1 should consider a square meal for a ground hog and 1t was only af- ter a hard tussle thst l managed to land half of a potato and num- Der of my brave comrades fared even wor5 5e than myself, but our hunger was partly satisfied when

II was the morning of the Sth of August and all the Boy Scouts of AVrangell were on board Capt. Jo- pansen's swift running cruiser the Duckland. All were excited and 1t was nine o'clock before we made our start. It was a splended day for an outing and this put every one in good spirits. Time passed quickly on the boat and at twelve o'clock We found ourselves at Cot fonwood Island at the mouth of the Stikine River. Here we went a. shore for few minutes to eat lunch. In what seemed a very short time Capt. Johansen called out, "All aboard and we contin- uad our trip up the river.
 Now we began to get the force of the rivers current and our pro- gress vas slower, the scenery a. round us was beautiful. The trees aIonq the hanks looked a; If they had been taken care of, they were SO regular and of about the same height. Further back of these were the high snow-capped mountain with their great walls of solid rock. It reminded one of great arm of ice stretching down the side of the mountain, but these things began to be tiresome and boys fell to reading or tried to go to sleep.
 At four coloct We turned intoalar- g. slough and dropped anchor and the two small boats were then load ed and we started to row to Glac- fer Lake. Ne stopped on a point just bezore entering the lake to

the coff ee came around for the dear cooks were kind enough to give us about half cup of coffee grounds which we ate with great relish as you may judge. After supper two boys washed the dishes hile the rest of us sick from oyereating, un- rolled our blankets and prepared for bed. Though everyone was tired it was long time before we went to sleep and then We did not sleep for long as certain young tel- lows would suddenly take notion to tell their troubles to others at just about the time the rest were dosing off. some of their talk went like this, Some class to them spuds, eh7' and Gee, my feet are sticking outside,h or aCome on over with some of my blankets Oh! it wa' delightful to listen to just as you were going to sleep and tHo or three time l was So tickled l got up and punched the speakers head.
 But this was nothing to what followed. Al half past two in the morning a couple of brave Scouts got up and cooked breakfast and the rest out at four. But that wasn't all Tor when we got up We found nothing but lot of burnt mush which was only about twice as bad as coffee grounds. After looking at the breakfast we threw 1t away and made ] new one which 1 may truthfully say was dand dy. After breakfast we lay around waiting for the Captain who had spent the night aboard his ship.
 At about seven o'clock we heard two shots fired from the direction of the Duckland and three of Us got into a rowboat and rowed down to find out what the matter was. We had gone but little way when we met the Captain rowing in the direction of our camp. Did you hear him holler2" he asked in a rather excited way. Here what holler?" we asked in turn. aWhy' he replied, T just wounded a big grizzly that was crossing tha slough missed him the first time l fired but must have got him the last time for he let out houl and threw himself straight up in the water. But he got away on the other side of the slough before l could shoot again. My. I never knew there was any bear around here. You'll nave to break camp tonight and sleep on the Duckland. -
 This report of the bear caused great excitement in camp but none showed any fear of the bear.

BY that time it is expected that a new

lecture hall of the law school is too small
for either comfort convenience, and
there Is room for only a few spectators.
Members Of the press. the diplomatic
corps and the public are admitted by
card. and on the back of each card is
printed a list of rules and prohibitions
adopted by the parliament. They provide
that no one shall be admitted to the SEES
sions who is not properly clad. wearing
shoes and coat; no one VINO is 1ntoXi-
Gated or suffering from CONTAGIOUS dis
case can be admitted, no one carrying a
package or bird cage or live birds on

Or spit on the floor. or jostle his neigh
bor or engage in conversation, or criti-
else the appearance or conduct of the del
egates. or participate in the discussions,
or make audible comments upon the pro-
ceedings.
When the tickets of admission were
first issued they all bore these rules. A
certain member of the diplomatic corps
who is notorious for insisting upon his
privileges and prerogatives returned his
ticket to the foreign office, saying that
he regarded the rules as a personal in
suit and demanded that he should be
treated with the courtesy due to his po-
sition as the representative of a great
power.
The foreign office Immediately recalled
all of the tickets that had been sent to
the legations and provided new ones Of a
form different from those given to the
general public, without the offensive rules.

of the appointed delegates. and very sell
dom did they present a solid opposition
to any measure. A few Of the representa-
tiveS of the throne took radical grounds
from the start on all measures and
showed surprising independence of
thought and speech, and people are wait
ing with curiosity to see what penalty
they will suffer for their rashness.
The conclusions and recommendations
of the parliament were usually embodied
in resolutions. which We're passed up to
the government, to be accepted, rejected
or ignored. Nearly all of them demand
ed reforms in administration or progress
sive measures for the benefit of the peo-
pie. For example. resolutions were passed
demanding the expansion of the educa-
tional system. the reorganization of the
finances. the reorganization of the eXecu-

and the court economy in salaries and

Voted to Chop Queues.

A resolution to cut off queues was passed
unanimously but the throne did not act
upon it directly because it is not cOnsid-
cred a matter worthy of official atten-
ton; also because the ManchuS. in power.
are naturally conservative, and are OPP
posed on general principles to the aboi-
ton of the ancient customs and insti-
tutions founded by their fathers. But an
edct was issued by the pr nee regent.
without reference to the action of parlia-
ment to cut the queues of the police and

The parliament took extreme grounds
on opium reform and adopted resolu-
ton demanding that the government shat
shorten the period of ten years. which
has been allowed for the abolition of the
opium habit; that it shall inflict the
heaviest punishment known to the law
short of the death penalty upon peopl
under sixty years of age who use opium
also that it shall degrade forever all p r
sons using opium, depriving them of the
right of suffrage and making them in
eligible to hold Office. This memorial
was received with favor by the gov rn-
ment, although no official action was

Newspapers Published Debates.

The debates We're reported verbatim and
published in the newspapers, thus reach
ing the farthast corners of the empire, SO
that the people were able to know what
was said and done and express their ap-

acrs Of the grand council and other offi-
Gals of the government were Kissed and

the idea was to reserve China for the

throne. And when the question came up
on a resolution to abolish the grand
council and substitute such a form of
administration it was carried by the I'M
animous vote of the provincial delegates,
nearly all of the delegates appointed by
the throne declining to vote. This reso-
luton was returned to the senate by the
grand council with a veto message in
which it was explained that the people
OF China were not prepared for such a
radical change in the system of govern
ment.
Climax of the Session.
The climax OF the session came when,
in the presence of two of the members
of the grand council, a resolution was
adopted demanding a change in the pro-
gram of the government and the advance
by three years of the date fixed for the
meeting of an actual representative par
lament. This resolution was supported
by nearly every member of the body, and
after it's adoption Prince Yu Lang a
member of the grand council, expressed
his opinion that the entire people. from
the highest to the lowest. were unani-
nous as to the necessity Of the earliest
possible establishment of a national legis-
lature.
This announcement was followed, on the
4th of November, by an imperial edict
announcing that a real parliament would
be called for 1913, instead of 1915 The
dict reads as follows:
The Emperor kwang-su drew up
