Britain Claims the Gold Fields on the Yukon River. Late news from Alaska indicates that Great Britain is preparing to lay claim to a portion of the gold fields on the Yukon viver. Mr. G. A. Carpenter, editor of the ‘\laska News at Juneau, has arrived at Seattle, and in speaking of the boundary ontroversy with Canada said: “if the claim set up by the British is orrect, there is a prospect that Juneas “iil come Within the limits of the territory aimed by the British under their inter- ‘ation of the description of the bound- ‘This description says that in the ab ‘chee of a mountain range the boundary ‘ne shall be within ten marine leagues of he coast line. “The American idea is thet the line shall ‘ollow the meanderings ‘of the bays and nlets.

Mr. Carpenter also says that th® Ameri- urvey parties were negli ork, not sending parties rior, but merely making ob from’ field glasses from’ the -rvations veks of their steamer, while the Canadia irveyors scaled the high coast ranges tc very summit of the mountains, ir he ,any eases subjecting the men to im vinent danger to life and limb in order t ‘eure exact data which would natural y rake ahd mark a boundary Hne. NoBODY ‘'sWRPRISED sho Sse The Defeat of the, Financia! Proposition Had Besn'Discounted. The Debate Was Instructive as Show- ing Where Each Party Will Stand im Case of an Extra Session. Yesterday's votes in the House on the several financial propositions submitted svrprised no member of either party. The whole procedure was regarded as an idle demonstration from the outset. Republi- cans looked askance at the democrats, and democrats at the republicans, and both sides united in private in questioning the wisdom of the President’s recommenda- tion. This encouraged the opinion that everybody was playing to the galleries, and this, in turn, made legislation impossible. The republicans construed’ the President's suggestion of gold bonds as something in line merely with his record. They accused him of being moze anxious about con- sistency than about a remedy. He rust have known, they asserted, that such a suggestion could hope for no substantial support from the democrats. The demo- cratic silver men, for their part, made quite as free with the proposition of the republicans for short-time bonds payable in coin. They pronounced that cowardice. It meant no more, they declared, than the President's proposition, and lacked the merit of frankness, Then, in a controlling spirit of deep disgust, the divisions were arranged, and everybody's proposition was sent to its long home. The Debate Had Its Uses. It is conceded, however, that the debate has had its uses. It is instructive so far as a possible extra session of the next Congress is concerned. Each side knows pretty well now where the other stands. The President is not going to confess to a treasury deficit calling for an immediate increase in revenue. He intends to stick to the gold reserve as a text, and fashion his discourses to Congress | accordingly. Congress, in extra or in regular session, may respond on that line or not, as it chooses. 1f it responds with an,act for a short-time bond, at a low raté of inter- est, he will, of course, be guided by that authority. If not, he will continue to in- voke the authority now on the statute bcoks, to which he has already twice ap- pealed, and justify his action by pointing to the necessity of preserving the public credit. the republicans, accepting this as the President's attitude, may respond by ac- tion covering both propositions. ‘They have made it entirely plain that the question of revenue shall not be eliminated from the equation. They insist that the present tariff law does rot provide the govern- ment with morey enough, and they intend to add in some way to the government's sources of receipts. Then, as to the gold reserve, they will express solicitude equal to the President's for the preservation of the public eredil, and authorize a bond is- sue at as low a rate of interest as the market will stand. Trouble Possible in the Senate. But while this policy will probably en- counter but little opposition in the House, when the republican majorit# will be large aud the influence of Mr./Reed very great, it is certain to experience hard sledding in the Senate. The silver men, unless skillfully divided, ‘Will ‘be masters of the situation in the mext Senate. The south and the west, by; standing together, will be able to dictate terms. on any financial proposition presented. If they decide that there shall be no new authority as to bonds without legisiation acceptable to them on the silver question; it will be in their pow- er to nullify every effort of the east, and bring the republican party up with a round turn on the veryyeve of the presidential campaign. The question js, will Mr. Teller and his friends do this? Are they silver men first and republicans afterward? Or will it be in the power of the eastern re- publican leadership to detach them from their southern allies by appeals to their party pride and loyalty, and by offering some compromise, which, while not going as far es the silver men, desire, will yet do something substantia for them, and put them on the way of further progress? ‘That something like this will be attempted is generally believed. The next Congress must in some way solve the problems, or else confess to a failure even more pro- nounced and disastrous than that that has taken the present Congress. The very desperation of the situation, therefore, will make the negctiations for control of the next Senate 1ot only deiicate, but most important, and fix attention prominently upon every maneuver of the silver men. And the republican leaders, it ts thought, because of this fact, would very much prefer having until December for putting their proposition in its strongest form, and conferring amorg themselves as to all of the details of so momentous a program. But this Senate has yet finally to be heard from. Is it possible for any. change whatever to be effected in the situation in a body appearing to be even more helpless than the House has shown Itself to be? ee GENERAL NEWS NOTES.

Definitely Settled There Will Be No Financial Legislation This Session. All the financial propositions before the House were defeated yesterday afternoon, and it is definitely and officially settled that no financial legislation can be had at this session. After voting on a large number of amendments, adopting some end rejecting some, there were three main propositions to be considered—the Reed substitute, the Cox substitute and the Springer administra- tion bill. All three of these have been pub- lished in full in The Star. The Reed propo- sition authorizes the issue of certificates of indebtedness, to meet any deficiency in the revenue and bonds to replenish the gold reserve whenever in any way depleted. This had the republican support, and was defeated by a vote of 187 to 109. The Cox substitute was an adaptation of the Car- lisle suggestion contemplating the rehabili- tation of the state banks. This substitute was defeated by a vote of 184 to 55. Then came the vote on the administration bill, en was defeated by a vote of 162 to 35. The Vote in Detail.

Mr. Reed prepared the following brief statement of the attitude of the repubii- cans, which he was not permitted to make on the floor: “I had, with the support of the republi- cans, presented a proposition which the ruling powers saw fit to refuse. Neverthe- less, I had gone further and voted for a bill which contains things which I do not approve of, simply to enable the matter to go to the Senate, in the hopes that some- thing might be done. The bill has failed. I now desire to suggest that I have no doubt this side of the House would vote for the second section of my substitute or any other proposition which had any prac- tical chance of passing.” SS THE COURTS.

The Senate has passed the District bill with an appropriation of $25,000 for test- ing the aqueduct tunnel now piercing the hills north of the city, for the purpose of determining the amount of its leakage and ascertaining the possibility of its being used as a part of the city’s water supply system in the future. The item as it came originally frem the appropriations committee was in the form of a lump sum of $35,000, which was to cover the cost of a general inquiry into the whole subject of increasing the supply, the cost of raising the dam at Great Falls, and the subject of the tunnels and the new, but unused, reservoir near Howard University. But in the Senate this was changed so as to separate the two matters, and now there is in the bill, subject, however, to change in conference, where the House ap- propriation of $125,000 for raising the dam may be restored, two distinct appropria- tions, one of $25,000 for the tunnel test and $10,000 for the general inquiry. This test was recommended by Gen. Casey several years ago. It is known that he was never quite thoroughly satisfied with the report of the select joint commit- tee appointed to investigate this subject in the winter of ISS). This committee hired a board of three expert engineers and recommended the abandonment of the entire tunnel scheme and the substi- tution therefor of a system of water mains in the form of four-foot iron pipes laid near the surface. The board of expert en- gineers reported answers to the twenty- two questions submitted by the congres- sicnal committee that indicated their be- lief that the tunnel in any form or state would n vr be available or useful as a part of the city’s system. It was pointed out that whether lined or not the tunnel would always be leaky and subject to both ingress and egress of water. In the for- mer case “the water flowing into the How- ard University reservoir would be polluted by the surface drainage from the country through whieh the tunnel passes. In the latter case the water supply would be wasted and perhaps cause great damage to surrounding property. The experts demonstrated by cxperiments in the po- rosity of brick and cement walls that there would inevitably be a passage of the wa- ter either in or out of the tunnel, espe- clally outward, if the supply should come eastward with any pressure. On the basis of one of these experiments, with the pressure placed ct eighty pounds to the square inch, it was estimated that the tunnel would lose ,000 galions every twenty-four hours. The only suggestion that was made by the board of experts was that clay might be used to prevent percolation, but this was not recommend- ed on account of the probable impractica- bility of its use under the circumstances. Gen. Casey was requested by Congress, through the Secretary of War, in the spring of 1890, to report to the Senate up- on the feasibility of completing the tunnel and the estimated cost. In his report he quoted the conclusions of the board of ex- perts of the joint committee of the year before, and suggested the advisability of a test of the carrying capecity of the tun- nel, which he estimated would cost about $20,000, and which he said should last for nine months or a year. He proposed fill- ing the tunnel and allowing it to stand, both with and without pressure, in order to observe the effect of percolation. “It is evident,” said General Casey in this report, “from the report of the board of experts that no masonry lining can be constructed in this tunnel that will be water-tight, subjected as it will be to large hydraulic pressure. Indeed, it is not known that any such quality was antici- pated for the lining Its object was to hold up the seamy and disorganized rock through which the tunnel passed to pre- vent it from falling into ‘the conduit and to furnish an Interior surface that would render the flow of water easy and more abundant.” It is thus to be seen that General Casey disclaimed all idea that the tunnel was to be, in effect, water tight. He intimates that he had discounted this notion, and, in fact, he says: “Seepage of water through the ground and into the tunnel can undoubtedly take place, but when the tunnel fs filled from and is in connection with a distributing reservoir, the water in which stands at 146 feet above datum, the pressure from within outwards will be sufficient to force the water in the tun- nel to a level of say 145 feet, and such portions of the ground as are over the tunnel and below that level will be liable to develop springs, the waters of which are coming from the tunnel. These pieces of ground above the tunnel lie in the val- leys of streams and between ridges, the waters from which drain into these val- leys and are prevented from uniting with the waters of the tunnel by the outward pressure. Should any of the fissures com- municating with the tunnel extend into the grounds having an elevation of over 145 feet it is possible that the waters from these grounds would unite with the water in the conduit. But as compared with the quantity of water in the tunnel this would be insignificant and would have no effect upon the purity of the water passing In the tunnel. “It is fair to assume that with the head of water in the distributing reservoir the outward escape will be greater than this quantity of seepage into the tunnel. It ia confidently believed that the quantity of water escaping from the tunnel when it ts fairly lined will dirainish from year to year as the veins, fissures and pores be- come clogged with the various matters carried in silt-bearing waters. There would seem to be no way, therefore, to determine the extent of the dangers men- tioned other than te fill the tunnel as it exists today by connecting it with the dis- tributing reservoir and to observe the re- sults. If the leakage from the tunnel in its present condition and the outflow upon the surface of the ground should turn out to be less in volume than is anticipated then this overflow would surely be less when the lining was completed and put in good condition.” In concluding this por- tion of his report General Casey says that if the results of the trial make it appear that it would be safe to complete the tun- nel he estimates the cost of the work of completing the tunnel and reservoir to be $600,000, of which there was then availa- ble $362,027.40. =< ‘The Lot of the Street Car Conductor. To the Editor of ‘fhe Evening Star: Yesterday I entered into conversation with an intelligent conductor oh the cable line asking if he guffered much in this weather. He answered very much in his feet and hands. I gave him the advice (and it is good advice, as any may know by trying it,) to change his shoes and stockings at midday. He shocked me by telling me that he got no time to do this, or even to eat; that his first chance for fcod would be at about 3:30. “If we could eat I should be all right,” he said, “but we have but four minutes at the end of the line, if on time, and are rarely on time.” It seems to me that this is unadulter- ated inhumanity at any time, and particu- larly in such weather as the present. I said men should certainly have a forty-five minutes’ nooning, or a half hour at least. ‘The conductor remarked that he would be well satisfied with fifteen. He was very cheerful about it all; did not complain other than as I have here given; but my own pity was aroused by such treatment. I have dealt with men in largo bodies in the public service, but we know nothing like this. My own experience is that they demand nothing overmuch in the way of kindly treatment in order to be satisfied. The commonest justice and a recognition of the most ordinary needs bring content. They don’t demand luxury; they only want humanity; and this my conductor friend is, according to what he said, certainly not getting. F. BE. CHADWICK. —_ Study of Sociology.

After The Star’s report of the Minneapo- is trial closed yest. day Claus Blixt was again put on the stand, and Mr. Erwin? after long questioning as to details of his story, sprung a sensation. He asked him if he had not on November 2 gone to the Arnold Hotel, on Central avenue, with two other men, and rented some rooms. “That's the biggest lie I ever hear claimed Blixt. Mr. Erwin questioned him closely, but Blixt professed entire ignorance about the alleged refeverce. The hotel register was introduced in evi- dence, and Erwin asked Blixt if the sig- nature of “Arne W. Teller, Wally City,” was not writ‘en by him. Blixt denied utterly that he had ever seen the register. These questions point to a theory of the defense that the mur der was the work of a gang of greengoods men, and that Hayward had nothing to do with it. The sensation of. the day came efter court had adjourned. County Attorney Nye approached Smith and made his sen- sational declaration. He asserted point blank that the entire story was a fabrica~ tion, and that he knew all about how it had _ been put up. “Do you know anything about it, Nye?” asked Smith, “for I do deny I have had anything to do with it.” “Now, mark you, John Day Smith,” and the counsel for the state shook his finger threateningly in the face of the attorney, “I know you and I believe you to be a man of honest intent, but just as sure as you live this thing is going to be exposed, I will drive every pin in this thing right straight through to the bettom, to show just how this thing was done, and you can depend on it.” Nye’s face was as white as the wall, and it was patent that he had been enraged by the tactics of the defense. The county attorney asserted strongly that the story being put in to show collu- sion on Blixt’s part with the green goods pecple was an invention and a disgraceful attempt to defeat justice. Hayward was jubilant over the turn of affairs. “I am giad to see,” said he, “that the truth is beginning to come out.” What the defense has made out of Blxt so far will not help Hayward’s case very much, except in the fact that Blixt is un- able to be specific in the matter of dates, but it has been found impossible to con- fuse him. There was an episode in the court yes- terday afternoon, when Harry Hayward for the first time since his arrest saw his brother Adray, who has confessed. It was @ strange sight. Harry looked full in Adray’s face with a smile, and as if in obedience to the summons, Adray rose half reluctantly and the hands of the two brothers, pitted against each other in the struggle for a life, met in a clasp. That was all. Harry took his seat, apparently unmoved, Adray sat down again and spoke to the deputy. A moment later the trial com- menctd again. Mr. Erwin concluded his cross-examina- tion in the afternoon. He outlined the de- fense in the following questions: “Was not it arranged by you and others to kill and murder Miss Ging on the other side of Lake Calhoun, and did not you have a gang with you who plotted to murder her?” “I had none but Harry, I had no con- federates,” said Blixt stclidly. “Did not you or some of you strike her with that piece of T-rail, and then drag her back to the place where the body was found?” “No, sir.” “And did you not then or some of you find her lying there and still breathing, and then shoot her?” “No, sir.” “Are you not now afraid of a gang?” “I am, indeed. It’s Harry’s gang. I would not dare to go’ out if I ever got out of this.” Charles Anderson, brother of Mrs. Rlixt, and assistant janitor of the Ozark Flats, was called next. His testimony was large- ly corroborative of Blixt’s. — “TIM” HEALY RETIRES. He Leaves the Parlinmentary Come- mittee of His Party. Mr. Timothy Healy, member of the Brit- ish parliament for North Leith, has re- signed his membership of the new parlla- mentary committee of the Irish parliamen- tary party. Mr. Healy’s resignation 1s the result of the action of the anti-Parnellite members, who, at their meeting on Tuesday last, elected Messrs. Condon and Abraham, Dil- Jonites, to succeed Messrs. Michsel Davitt and Timothy D. Sullivan. Mr. Healy was the only member of the committee who was re-elected. coo The Police Ball. ‘The committee which had charge of the recent ball for the relief of the police pension funa report having realized $2,205.75 from tho sale of tickets, and in that con- nection desire to express their gratitude to the public for its generous response to their appeal, to Gibson Bros. for programs, Rufus H. Darby for tickets and M. G, Copeland for decorations donated on that occasion. The committee consisted of Lieu- tenant John F. Kelly, chairmen, and Lieu- tenants John A. Swindeils, James E.

Linekuhler of 131 South Bond street, Baltimore, was robbed of his bicycle. He had paid $150 cash for the wheel about a month before it was stolen, and as the wheel was not insured the owner lost the entire amount. The wheel has now been recovered, and John Hamilton, a Baltimorgan, is under arrest. Detective Boardman, who Js interested in the case, learned that the stolen wheel bad changed hands several times since It was stolen, and had been used in Baltimore and Havre de Grace. Hamilton had a_ hearing in Baltimore yesterday befcre United States Commis- sioner Rodgers, and was held in $1,000 bend for the authorities here. State College Aid.
