That it fs altogether such a charming sport for those who take part in it is a matter about which there Is a deal of difference of opinon. With- in the past few years the game has taken such a hold upon the people of Washington that it is hard to find a man who does not know at jeast the rudiments of the game. Four Good Teams. The interest taken in the sport has in- creased to such an extent that there are now four teams at I that are able to hold their own in the first class. These are the teams from the Columbia Athletic Club, Georgetowa College, the Young Men's Chris- Uan Association and the Deaf Mute Institu- tion at Kendali Green. This is by no means @ complete list of the Washington teams, but it is admitced that the right to the cham- Pionship lies in this quartet.

Already a num- ber of games have been played enough to show the character of sport that may be expected when the bigger games come on later in the fall. Here, as in New York, the sreutest interest attaches to the championship game on Thanksgiving day. ‘This will be played, as usual, this year be- tween teams from the Columbia Athletic Club and Georgetown Coilege.

She WIll Be Loaded With $100,000 Worth of Arms. It is now said that the same house which purchased the arms and ammunition in such large quantities for use in the Brazil- fan civil war has just bought for an enor- mous price one of the swiftest and strong- est of the Morgan line steamers. The pur- chase was made yesterday afternoon, and the vessel sold is El Cid, the queen of the Morgan fleet, whose recent remarkable passage from’ New Orleans to New York was commented upon at much length. That the purchasers of the El Cid wanted | her badly and wanted her at once ts suf- | ficient own by the price paid for her. This, me of the managers of the Mor- gan line said, is fully two or three times as much as the vessei is worth. Today she will be turned over to her new purchasers. The purchasers are nominally the Broad street tirm of Charles R. Flint & Co., the same firm that only a few days ago bought at one deal $100.0 worth of arms and am- munition of the Hotchkiss Gun Company. These warlike munitions, according the . are to be del York within sixteen days, barring the act of God or a public enemy. There was no mention in the formal agreement of the name of the vessel on board which the arms and am- munition were to be delivered. The pur- chase of El Cid from Col. Huntington, rep- resenting the Morgan line, now supplies that omission. ace re Christian Missionary Society. ‘The sessions of the Maryland, Delaware | and District of Columbia Christian Mission- | ary Society convention at Beaver Creek, | Md., were yesterday devoted to reports. | ‘The total value of church property is $163,- 360, 330 additions during the past year, 3,010 total membership, $1,307.86 contributed to | foreign missions, $1,019.56 to home missions, $1,090 to state work, $235 to Christian wom- | an’s board of missions; for all purnoses $26,971.

It was 9 o'clock when the party started out on their twenty mile jaunt, and although it appeared as though the clouds would burst at any moment, the party wheeled over the road and reached Ashton about noor. Six- teen cyclists sat down when the country bell rang for dinner. When the last one was ready to leave the table a drizzling rain had started and there was not much chance of gathering chestnuts. Before sun- down the rain was coming down true Sab- bath style and there was nothing to do but remain over night. This the cycli did. Mrs. Farabee, who chaperoned the party, had satisfied the parents of the ladies that she would take good care of them, so there ‘Was no reason for alarm. Mrs. Ent proved an excellent hostess and the party of young folks spent the evening singing, and retired at 9 o'clock. Monday morning the weather was no better, but the cyclists had made up their minds for chestnuting and so with borrowed clothing they went forth to the woods and reaped a harvest. The clouds soon rolied away and the cyclists felt better. Soon after dinner the members of the party got ready to return home and at 2:30 o'clock the cyclists left the country place and started for home through the mud. The road was heavy, but the young folks were in good spirits and the trip was a pleasant one. Among those in the party were Mr. and Mrs. Farabee, Capt. New- man, Misses Smith, Miss Farabee and Messrs. Beck, Churchill, Morgan, Frech, Howard, Luckey, Goodwin and Adams. Mrs. Farabee gathered more chestnuts than any other member of the party and consequently she won the first prize, a sil- | ver chestnut. The run will be repeated soon, but the next trip will be made to, Great Falls. The club has elected officers for the ensuing yea follows: President, George T. Cox; captain, James F. Meegan; first lieutenant, BE. J. A. Smith; second Heutenant, Arthur I. Clark. The club will go to Marlboro’ tomorrow. The Arlington Wheelmen turned out Sun- day morning in spite of the threatening weather aud went to Dickey’s. Eight mem- bers of the club were in the party and when they reached the city in the afternoon they were so thickly plastered with mud as to render recognition impossible. Several members of the Capital Bi. Club went out for a short ride in the morning, but — home before the rain , caught them. Members of the Georgetown Cycle Club were not so fortunate. They started out | a little late and like those who participated | in the run of the Arlington Wheelmen they got soaking wet and covered with mud. Another Record Broken. The twenty-four hour course record has again been broken. This time L. C. Wahl is the rider who claims the honor, and Fister’s record is a matter of the past. Wahl broke the record once before, but Fister followed him and carried off the honor. Then Wahi concluded that he would make another trial, which he did Wednesday and Thursday. He started over the Conduit course Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock, the distance of the course be- tween the reservoir and the Anglers’ Club House being a little more than ten miles. Harry C, Lee and Elmer Davis of Balti- more and A. C. Moran and E. Yeatman of this city paced the record breaker. The timers were J. H. Britton of Phila- delphia and C. W. Moore of this city. The first lap was made in one hour and twenty- | one minutes, this being the best time made during the twenty-four hours’ ride. Two punctured tires were the only accidents during the trip and when he had covered the distance of 297.4 miles he left the road. He was then in good condition and had ridden about seventeen miles more than Fister when he broke Wahl's first record of 270 miles. After the ride Wahl was taken to a neighboring road house, where he had eaten his n.eals during the ride. There he was put to bed. He remained there all day | Thursday and returned home in the even- The Record-treaker, Wahl is a young man and {s employed as a typesetter on the Congressional Recor He came here from St. Paul, Minn., where he had earned a reputation as an all-round athlete, having won many prizes at various games.

The first annual race meet of the Victor _Bicyele Club was held last week on the grounds of the Y. M. C. A. and the affair proved a great success. The Popularity of cycling over other athletic sports was well illustrated by the large number of persons in attendance as against the smaller crowds at some of the other outdoor sports. This was the first effort of the kind of this par- ticular club and there was only one mistake That was in omitting to state that the District of Columbia championship was to have been an L. A. W. affair to the ex- clusion of non-members of the league. Pro- tests were of course made against the non- league men who had entered and they were sustained. It ts stated that friends of one of the disqualified men had telegraphed Chairman Raymond of the racing board to know whether he could race with his appli- cation for membership pending, but the an- swer was that he could not. This is stated by the whcelmen as evidence of the fact that although not expressly stated the rider well understood that the race was properly an L. A. W. event. Four of those who entered were disquali- fied leaving the race with but four men to compete for the prizes. W. T. Robertson of the Arlington Wheel- men was first to cross the tape and record @ well-earned victory as he won by less than half a th. All the events were interesting, but there was some remarkably slow riding. When the protest was entered against the action of the officials of the meet Robertson, who had won the prize and secured the championship expressed a willingness to let the trophy remain until Chairman Raymond was heard from. The Arlington handicap twenty-mile road race this afternoon promises to be an in- teresting event. It {s strictly a club affair and the race promises to be a good exhibi- tion of fast riding. The conduit course from the reservoir to the club house is the course over which the race will be ridden and many frieads of the club will probably wit- ness the event unless the weather is un- fit. Among those who will figure in the Tace are Messrs. Clapp, Terry, Bowen, Raw- lings, Robertson, Larcombe, Hutchings, Potts, Stone, Brengle, Davison and Mayer. Detective Carter's Bicycle. Bicycle riders in this city are perhaps more careless than they are in other cities. Wheelmen think nothing of leaving their wheels about the streets unchained while they go from place to place attending to business, nor do clerks hesitate to leave | them in front of offices and stores while they are attending to their duties inside. But occasionally the bicycle thief comes along and deprives them of their silent steed for a number of days and sometimes the wheels are never returned. Such has been the experience of a num- ber of wheelmen this fall and while the thieves were active the police were by no | means asleep. Within a few days eighteen “bikes” were stolen and many of them were recovered. Some of them, however, were never returned. Detective Carter, who was interested in the cases, recovered one of them through the apparent kindness of a country official in Maryland and now he is looking fer some one to pay the freight and take the wheel. When the officer leaned from the country official that there was a supposed stolen bicycle in his county he asked him to ship it here, at the same time expressing a willingness to advance the charges for ship- ment. There had been so many wheels stolen that the detective felt sure he was going to gt one of them and at the same time he was certain that the owner would pay the money paid the express company. He knew that the wheel was an old one, but still he was confident that it was a safety and of a standard make. And so the wheel was shipped. One morning last week an express wagon drove up to police headquarters and the driver announced that he had a bicycle for Detective Carter. This statement in {tself was a surprise to the detective’s comrades, for they knew he was not a rider. But the driver had the wheel and the officer paid the charges. 60 cents. The wheel is a homemade affair and under the hammer would bring just the price of the old iron used in its construc- tion. A purchaser is now wanted. During the past week two bicycle thieves have been sentenced in the Criminal Court, one receiving 42 months at bor, while the other received 30 months. The L. A. W. Meeting. On Friday evening of next week will oc- cur the annual meet of the Leagué of American Wheelmen. Mr. Stearns, the sec- retary-treasurer, always takes so much interest in the affairs of the league, is making preparations for the meeting. when he hopes to have a successful repeti- tion of last year’s meeting. The meeting | will be held at High View Hotel, on the | cliff overlooking the Chain bridge from the Virginia shore, where an oyster roast will ibe given. Bivalves and other necessaries are to be furnished by the league and a large representation of its membership will probably be in attendance. —__ DAUGHTERS OF THE KING. A Vote in Favor of Aboli: Grand Chaplaincy. There was a very lively session of the Daughters of the King Thursday at Balti- more cwing to a dispute over the office of grand chaplain. Some rather bitter words were exchanged by the clergymen taking part in the discussion and the wife of the grand chaplain burst into tears and left the bullding. When the vote on the chaplaincy was taken it showed nearly a two-thirds ma- |jority in favor of abolishing this office and substituting an advisory board, the vote standing 53 to 32. The anti-chaplain- ites had barely time to express to each other their satisfaction when the voice of the ledy in the chair was heard reminding them that of course this vote had nothing final about it as it would go before the council simply as a recommendation, the council having the general government of the crder. A vote was passed to ex- press to the grand chaplain that there was nothing personal in the convention's action regarding the chaplaincy, and ex- | pressing also gratitude for his work. After communion yesterday Miss Smylie of New York conducted a Bible class. Four conferences were held at the same time in the forenoon. The subjects of the confer- ences were as follow: “The Country Girl Who Comes to the City,” Mrs. Whitney, St. Cecilia Chapter, New Haven ‘he Mothers’ Meeting,” paper by Mrs. Ayres, St. Ann Church, Brooklyn; ‘The Local Assembly, Mrs. Drumm, 8t. mes’ Chapel, Fordham, N. Y.; “The Girls’ Friendly,” Miss Bessie ewes Archangel Chapter, New York who y. Last evening a public meeting was held. “God in Our Parish Lives,” by Mrs. Brad. ley, read by Miss Johnson, St. Chapter, New York cit ters’ Lives," Miss Bayler, Christ Chapte Winchester, Va. Mrs. Kenyon, Archargel Chapter, New York city; “God All in All,” Rev. Mr. Grif- fith, were the papers presented. The convention of Daughters of the King ended yesterday. Mrs. M. J. Franklin of New York, president of the council, made a short speech in which she referred to the sanctity of the vows taken by the daughters and said they were binding upon those who had assumed them, no matter what issues were at stake. Mr. Griffith, who had acted as peacemaker throughout Thursday's meeting, made a few remarks, saying he deeply regretted the friction which had occurred. Members of the chapters from the churches of Baltimore, Washington, Ane- costia, Havre de Grace and Port Republic held a meeting after adjournment of the convention and formed the preliminary or- ganization of a local assembly of the Daughters for Maryland. A committee, consisting of Mrs. Roone of Washington, Mrs. Murphy of Port Republic and Miss Griffith was appointed to draw up a con- stitution. It provides for annual meetings of the assembly and for a basis of repre- sentation of one delegate for every five members of local chapters. The secretary was instructed to notify all the chapters in Maryland and the District of Columbia vite them to be represented at a meeting to be held in the Church of the Incarna- | tion, Washington, on the second Wednes- day in May of next year. coe IA CELEBRATION.

Scenes and Incidents in the Senate Chamber. ~ a MR. TELLER'S ELCQUENT APPEAL. Mr. Mc.Pherson Asks a Very Long Question. THE VOTING IN DETAIL. ge The beginning of the end of the silver fight in the Senate came yesterday after- noon, just after The Star had gone to press. In brief, the free coinage amendment of Mr. Peffer was voted down, 28 to 39, and the amendment of the committee on finance, cammonly called the Voorhees substitute, was adopted by a vote of 58 to 9. Mr. Jones concluded the next to the last installment of his speech at about 4:45, and there was a generul hum when he an- |mounced that he owed an apology to the Senate for his long effort. He did not know whether it should be called an argument or an obituary, and the laugh that followed was suddenly silenced by the vision of Senator Voorhees arising. Mr. McPherson, however, who had been very persistent in asking questions of the Senator from Ne- vada throughout the afternoon, had secured the floor by popping up immediately after Mr. Jones sat down. Mr. McPherson’s Long Quest! le He started out by saying: “May I ask the Senator a question before he takes his seat?

That product is taken abroad and is sold for gok “The American farmer must stand all the fluctuations in the money between the time of the sale of his product and the time the product reaches the other side. I wish to know under that condition how it is poss- ible for the United States of America to keep up profitable trade relations with any country that today purchases our products. If the Senator will bear with me still fur- ther, before answering this question, I will say in respect of the contention that arose between us a few minutes ago with respect to India—’ Wanted It in Installments. Mr. Jones had been standing politely throughout this discourse, and at this point broke in with: “There is so much; I would like the Sen- ator to ask one question at a time.” Mr. McPherson was not at all dazed by the retort, but went on still further: “Very well, it is all on the one line. The Senator instructed me when I intcrrupted him a few moments ago that it was more proper to measure the value of money by the value of commoaities tnan it was by other Kinds and character of money; and £ stated :e case of an India merchant snip- Ply Wacal and cotton to Liverpoo. or to wondon ior saie. 1 will now put the ques- ton In another form, and ask the Senator to be so kind as to answer it. “he Indian merchant ships, say, one quarter of wneat to London. He is the producer of the wheat. It is sold in Lon- don for gold. 1t is worth, say, today 30 shillings a quarter. That would buy 30 shillings sterling in gold, or it would buy 15 rupees, if rupees were at par with gold. Therupees have fallen; they are worth to- |day 1 and 2 pence. That quarter of wheat | | buys in London just 25 rupees, either in counci: bills or in silver bullion, The pro- ducer of wheat in India may take the coun- | cil bills, which is exchange, of course, or he may take the silver bullion back to India, and his mints are open. Now, how can the Senator say that silver has not fallen India when I show him that a bushel of wheat buys 10 rupees more today than with silver at par with gold?” Mr. Jones gave him a very character- istic reply: “I do not think I overestimate the point when I say that I do not believe there is a Senator on this floor who clearly understood the question of the Senator from Jersey.” Very well, then—,” Mr. McPherson went on unabashed. But Senator Voorhees, who had been growing very impatient dur- ing this collocuy, came to the rescue by breaking in with his “Mr. President!" Mr. McPherson was not to be interrupted, but kept on with, “I will put it—” “IT have tried, and I cannot understand whether the Senator means it for a speech or an answer or a question,” interrupted Senator Jones, sarcestically. “Both! was Mr. McPherson’s somewhat ungrammatical but prompt reply. Mr. Jones continued to cut deeply with his caustic impatience. He sald: “The Senator has made many postulates; he has assumed many things that I do not agree to at all; he has attempted to place me in positions that I have not placed my- self in. He undertakes to state my position, which I prefer to state for myself, and after he has done this. he becomes so involved in his question that it is impossible to fully understand what he means.” Given Time to Answer. Then ensued a voice contest between Sen- ators Voorhees and McPherson, the former trying to interrupt and the latter to state his question. Finally Mr. Voorhees got the floor and said: “I understand the Senator from Nevada desires to complete his remarks tomorrow. I regret that he is not able to complete I shall not press the Senator from Nevada upon this point, but I suggest, Zz | for economy of time, that he and the Sen- ator from New Jersey meet between now and tomorrow when the Senator is to re- sume the floor and come to an understand- | ing about the question that is asked and the manner of answering it.” “I think it would take about that tim 1 without a cryptogram.” Then Mr. Voorhees asked for a vote on the pending amendment and things seemed | Smooth, but Mr. McPherson was not to be downed so easily, and said he would prefer to have an answer to his question from the Senator from Nevada. He can answer it tomorrow if he can at all,” remarked Mr. Voorhees, to the intense amusement of the floor and galleries. There was a great stir on the floor as Senators pushed to thei> seats through the crowd of interested outsiders who had crowded into the chamber. A vote was immi- nent, but there is many a slip between the cup and the lip. When the amendment had | been read, Mr. Peiffer, its author, insisted | upon making a speech. He said that he and his colleagues have not surrendered, and do not propose to do £0. “We intend to fight until the end, and when we are captured, if we are, it shall be with our arms in our hands and our faces to the foe. We expect to add still further oppo- sition as the debate proceeds. However, we do not intend to interpose any factious or revolutionary opposition, but we want at every stage of the proceedings, until the end comes, to interpose our determined re- sistance and implacable opposition. The Vote on the Peffer Amendme: Then Mr. Peffer sat down. There was a sigh of relief. What had promised to be the beginning of a populist filibuster had proved to be a flash in the pan. The vote then went on, and after a good deal of trouble over the pairs showed the following result: Yeas—Messrs. Allen, Bate, Berry, Black- burn, Butler, Call, Coke, Daniel, Dubois, George, Harris, Irby, Jones (Ark.), Jones (Nev.), Kyle, Martin, Pascoe, Peffer, Power, Pugh, Roach, Shoup, Stewart, Teller, Vance, Vest, Walthall and Walcott—28. ‘s—Messrs. Aldrich, Caffery, Camden, Cullom, Davis, Dixon, Dolph, Faulk- ner, Frye, Gallinger, Gibson, Gorman, Gray, Hale, Higgins, Hill, Hoar, Lindsay, Lodge. McMillan, McPherson, Manderson, Mitchell (Wis.), Morrill, Murphy, Palmer, Perkins, Procter, Quay, Ransom, Sherman, Smith, Stockbridge, Turpie, Vilas, Voorhees, Wash- burn and White (La.)—s9. Paired—Messrs. Pettigrew and Gordon, Squires and Mitchell (Oreg.), Brice and Cameron, Mills and Hansbrough, Chandler and White (Cal.),Colquitt and Wilson, Cock. T — and Allison, Hawley and Morgan, and Hunton and Piatt. Of the yeas, eighteen were democrats, sevea republicans, and three populists; of the nays, eighteen were democrats and ‘The Voorhees Amendment. The questign then recurred on the amend- ment of the finance committee, adding a declaration or friendliness to silver to the | Wilson bill, and promising further legisla- tion in the future. Mr. Voorhees explained that if adopted this amendment would jtand as an original bill, and would there- fore be amendable. He was quite willing that amendments should be offered, and | discussed briefly. There were from twenty- Es to thirty amendments, of which notice had been given, but which had not been in- troduced as yet. On this roll call the neza- tive votes were cast by Senators Allen, Bate, Call, Coke, Irby, Kyle, Peffer, Roach, Vance. “Mr. President,” shouted Senator Perkins, | as soon as the result had been announced. He wanted to introduce his free. coinage amendment, of which he had given notice. Mr. Voorhees tried to get the floor, but Mr. Perkins was ahead of him, and the amendment was read, and M Perkins | made a speech for about twenty miautes, which was full of figures and fervent pray- ers for the future welfare of the country. | Mr. Stewart followed to cast a stone into the repeal ranks by reading from the record of the vote on the free coinage proposition voted upon in July, 18%. He said that if certain Senators who voted for free coinage then had not changed their votes the Peffer proposition wouid have been carried. He named Senators Faulk- ner, Squire, Hill, Mills, Ransom, Turpie, Voorhees and Gordon. No one replied to this charge, and Senato- Allen wok the Ser to meke a retark sete s-rech, full of fight. He called attention to the fact that for over ten days there had been no prayer in the opening of the sessions of the Senate. That was appropziate, he auded, for it was fitting that the Senate should cease listen- ing to prayers when it started in to enact the most iniquitous legisiation of ail his- tory. Mr. Teller’s Appeal. Then Mr. Teller made a speech that will go into the record of the tight as the most heartfull plea for tustice that bas been given in behalf of the people of the silver section. He spoke to an audience that was perfectly quiet and sympathetic in its attention. For twenty minutes he told of the great harm that would come to Colorado if silver was demonetized. There was no demagogism, no raillery, no rant in his talk. It was purely the sentiment of a man who represents his suffering people. “I do not intend to weary the Senate,” he said, with tears in his eyes, “but I cannot allow this occasion to pass without saying that to me it is the most terrible moment of my legislative life. To me, Mr. President, it brings more anxiety, more fear, than any other moment since I enter- ed _ public life.” As Mr. Teller concluded his eloquent re- marks, he was congratulated by those im- mediately around him, and, after a brief colloquy between Senators Wolcott and Voorhees, the Senate took a recess until 11 o'clock today. 2+ _____ LOss OF THE FLYING DUTCHMAN. Capt. Sheldrake’s Fifteen-Foot Dory Wrecked in a Hurricane. The smallest boat in which man has ever attempted to cross the Atlantic ocean— Capt. Sheldrakes’ 15-foot dory, Flying Dutch- man—has beyond doubt been lost with its lonely occupant, hundreds of miles from land. Officers of the British steamship York report that on their voyage they pass- ed wreckage, evidently from just such a craft as Sheldrake's. This was in a high sea about 90 miles to the westward of Gibraltar. The York pass- ed a small boat, i.ctom up, and other wreckage, which led to the belief that in that locality the Flying Dutchman, a pre- sumably unsinkable craft, had taken her last plunge in a navigable condition, and jost her venturesome mariner. This theory is borne out, in addition to the wreckage, by the last previous dis- covery of the Flying Dutchman at sea. It | Was in this same locality, lat. 42 N. long. 54_W., about 900 miles from Gibraltar, that |Cficers of the ship Veragua, on July 20, sighted the tiny dory and its solitary sailor. Capt. Sheldrake then reported that he had «encountered tempestuous seas, and had lost his compass and oil, (the latter having been | emptied for beach light and heat) and that his rudder had been torn away by an ex- ceptionally heavy sen. The collie dog which had been Capt. Shel- from drake’s sole companion when he sailed | Shelbourne, N. 8., on June 19, for Falmouth, England, was missing, and it was believed on the Veragua that it had been killed and eaten by the lonely mariner. The crews | of several steamers had sighted Capt. Shel- drake, but he had stubbornly refused to de- sert his little vessel. Capt. Johnson of the Veragua offered him a home on his ship, but this offer was likewise declined. Soon afterward a hurricane came up, and the Veragua herself was barely able to | weather the gale. It is believed that before this storm was over the Flying Dutchman was overturned and and that Capt. Sheldrake went to the bottom. +o+—____ HAWAIMAN ROYALISTS HOPEFUL. They Have Been Awaiting Minister Willis’ Coming With Confidence. Advices from Honolulu under date of Oc- tober 19 state that the new consul general, Ellis Mills, arrived on the 17th. He was welcomed with great effusion by the royal- ists, who suppose him to be their partisan. The expected arrival by the on the %th of United States Minister Willis and of the Ophilus Dovies was confidently anticipated by the royalists with great hope of the campaign to be immediately tnaugurated‘ by those two gentlemen for the restoration of the native monarchy. The silence of President Cleveland led the annexation party to hope that Minister Willis might not come with instructions to demand a reference of the whole politi- cal issue to the native vote. Should, how- ever, Mr. Willis really bring such a policy with him, the government ministers do not hesitate openly to express in the most determined manner their intention to stand firm and not yield a particle to such a proposition. By the Americans and the annexation party generally, an unqualified determina- tion was expressed to resist in the strong- est manner any movement or proposition to the restoration of the monarchy or sub- versions of the provisional government. Admiral Sterret received orders on the 17th to report at San Francisco as soon as he can. The admiral and his staff expect to sail for China November 6. Capt. Barker of the Philadelphia will remain in command at Honolulu as senior naval officer. On the lth a battalion drill and review was held of enlisted and volunteer forces of the government, making their appear- ance for the first time in complete uni- | form, and presented every aspect of effec- tive and reliable force. -———_—_-o2—______ MANY MILES IN A CANOE. Into the Interior of Alaska. Warburton Pike, the English explorer, has just arrived at Nanaimo, B. C., from the interior of Alaska, having made a journey | of over 4,000 miles in a small canoe. He left Victoria, B. C., a year ago last July for Fort Wrangel, and thence proceeded to Stikeen river in a canoe through the Cas- sair country and followed the Dease river as far as the junction with the Laird t-ibu- tary of the Mackenzie river. There he spent the winter hunting big game. Late in the winter Pike started out with a dog sicd for Francis Lake, which he crossed and | thence made the portage to the Pelly Lakes, getting into a country never before ex- plored by white man. Spring had set in by the time the Pelly were reached, and crossing there | Pike followed the Peily river to its source. On his return he followed the Pelly river to Lewis river, which he followed to the Yukon. He then began a continuous jour- | ney of 2,500 miles, which lasted for two months. He left the Yukon river near the ceast and made a portage to Kuskoquin river and thence made his way around the coast to Fort Alexander, the trip having lasted thirteen months. During the whole time he met with no ac- cident. He used the same canoe ail through. It weighs only one hundred pounds and is seventeen feet long. Mr. Pike formed a very poor opinion of the interior of Alaska. He says it is absolutely worth- less, except for hunting. Game of ali kinds is abundant. —— State Taxes on National Banks. Judge Archibald of Scranton, Pa. has decided that the national banks are agen- cies of the national government and that, as Congress has allowed them to be taxed by the states only in two particulars (on their real estate and shares), a tax upon their personal property is beyond the statcs’ power.
