WRITE THIS LET- ter in the capital of British Ameri From this point al- most one-third of the North American con- tinent is governed. Queen Victoria has about as much land on this side of the Atlantic as we haves If you should take California away from the United States, the two countries would be of just about the same size, and in this I include Alaska in our territory. The British part of the North American continent is a very valuable plece of prop- erty. There are millions of acres of wheat land which kave not been opened up, and there is a large agricultural region which has not yet been penetrated by railroads. ‘The Canadians cannot understand why it is that the immigrants pass their country by and go to the United States. They have lots of land open to settlement, and they offer, in addition to 160 acres, a premium of about $4 an immigrant, to induce them to settle north of our boundary. Notwith- standing this, Uncle Sam gets the bulk of the foreigners, and Canada, after all these years, has now only about one-fifteenth as Capitol street, long ago made its way to | ™#R¥ people as we have. She has, all told, only about five millions by the census of 1891, and her population is creeping up- ward slower than the pace of a tortoise up @ mountain road. I have met a dozen dif- ferent Canadians who have said to me that their day had come, now that the United States was filled up. If so, its sun is not bright enough yet to show the world the fact.

The two countries should have less to do w: each other than ever since the passage of the tariff act.

IT now export to London and get better prices than I did when I sold to you Yankees.” "The lumber men are especially angry at the tariff. Canada is a big lumber market. Her forest productions are estimated to be werth about eighty million dollars a year and almost half of this {s exported. She kas the bulk of the wood left on this con- tinent, and a big part of her income has been from the logs and lumber shipped across to the United States. The new tar- iff practically kills this industry, as it does also that of the wood pulp mills, which, 1 am told, have been furnishing a large part of the printing paper used by our newspa- pers. These things make the people very bitter, and it ts largely due to them that the rigid regulations in regard to mining on the Klondike are being adopted. Canada and the Klondike. Speaking of the Klondike, Canada pro- poses to hold every inch of gold territory she can for her own uses. There is no sympathy here whatever with American miners, and the regulations will be further restricted if the gold output proves to be as large as it has been represented. The size of the claims will be reduced and additional percentages may be demanded. As !t is now, according to a paper which I got at the interior department this afternoon, the entry fee for each claim will be $15, and for every year after the first year the gov- ernment will demand a rental of $100 apiece for the claims. This is without regard to the amount which the claims produce. Then there is the royalty of 10 per cent on all gold mined and of 20 per cent for all claims which run over $500 per week. This means ure | | ered abandoned and may be | years had traveled through Britis that in case of any big strike the Canadian government is bound to get one-fifth of it, and that without doing any work except collecting the amount due them. The pro- vision that the claims be worked continu- ously is a very hard one. If a claim is left idle for more than three days it is consid- jumped, and there are other regulations as to fees by which Canada will squeeze money out of the miners in different ways. I do not say that these provisions are made as alia- tion to the tariff, but it is fair to presume that they have been somewhat affected by it What the Sarveyorw Say, I called at the museum of the Canadian geological survey this afternoon to gather what information I could abeut the Klon- dike. Cana Ss quipped geologi- cal survey, and she always keeps a number of exploring parties in the fleld. One of the chief surveyors as regards the Klondike is Mr. William Ogilvie, who is now the Yukon territory, ard another Dr. George M. Dawson, the head of the surve Dr. Dawson and Prof. Ogilvie traveled to- gether through a part of the Yukon a few ars ago. Dr. I tells me that the no doubt the country contains av. deal of gold, and say: t he found miners prospecting through all ts of the Yukon Lady & berdgtn. years'ago. but nane as yet had y large find He! predicts that ‘e will be many disappointed men among thousands who are now there, sa olutely nothing fi the country in the way of food, and thinks that there must be great suffering Quring the coming winter.

In the meantime there is a strong possibility of a railread being built north from the Canadian Pacific into the Yukon coun A branch already runs to monton, and from here it is said that a road could be built which would make the Klondike of comparatively easy access What an I che the there is iong it dson Bay Man Says, tted last night with a man who for Ame ca as an employe of the Hudson Bay Com- pany. He told me that one could easily get through to the Yukon from “this side of the mountains. He said he would go first to Edmonton by rail, then to Lake Atha- boska by wagon, and thence on to the Lesser Slave lake, from where he would pack his goods by trail to the Nelson river and on to the Dease river, and thence right on to the Pelly river and down to the Klondike He says there are along nearly the whole of this route good pack trails which have been used for years by the Hudson Bay Company, miners anil traders. The whole distance from Athaba ka landing to the Pelly could be made with pack horses, and a wagon road could be made without much cost. ‘The trip to Pe ly from Athabaska landing would be only about 900 miles, and from thence you could ily float down the 200 miles remaining te the gold regions. There is no doubt but that there will be a number of men who will make this trip in the spring.

This town of Ottawa ts a beautiful one. It is about one-sixth the: size of Washing- ton. It has wide and well paved streets, good public buildings and, if I am correctly informed, a magnificent publie debt. Its situation is on a series of -biaffs at the point where the Ottawa and the Rideau rivers join. These rivers dash cver a great fall at this point, and the Rideau canal has been built through the city in order to connect Lower Canada with Lake Ontario, and thus prevent the necessity’ of vessels going up the St. Lawrence rivet under the enemy's fire. This canal cost’ about two and a half millions of dollars, and it is sald to be worth it. Ottawa, like Washinz- ton, was cut out of the woods. It nad 10,000 inhabitants in 1854, and it was* four years later that Queen Victoria chose it as the cap- ital of her American domintons.* Today the chief businesses of the ciy are- lumbering, lobbying and legislation. ‘The limber busi- ness amounts to about $8,000,600 a year. Legislation, I judge, is everr more profitable, for it costs about $37,0 annually to run the government, and the total debt of the Canadian dominion in 1896 was over $300,000,000. This makes $60 for every man, woman and child in the dominion, an aver- age of $300 per family, an , enormous Gebt, to say the least. THe annual charge on the debt in way of interest ts more than $10 a family, ana the figures are sul going up. In a business of this kind lobbying pays somewhat in proportion to the legislation, so, as far as I can judge, the three businesses of Ottawa must be thriving. Slot Boxes for Conductors. Ottawa has a good system of street car lines. The cars are moved by electricity, generated by the Chaudiere falls, and the fare is 5 cents a trip. Each car has a motor- man and a conductor. The condactor col- lects the fares, but he does not aandle the’ - On entering the car at the sta- tion I saw in one corner of it high above the passengers’ heads what looked “to me. like a beer mug or stein fitted into an iron ring placed for the purpose in the walls of the car. When the conductor entered he took down this beer mug and poked it un- der my nose. I then saw that the mug had a top like a boy’s savings bank, and that there was a slot in it for m piece. I handed the conductor a 3 returned me two 5-cent pieces and again flourished the stein under my nose. I put one of the coins in the slot. It stuck and it took the conductor about five squares to shake it tq the bottom. It was the same With the next nickel and more than half of the conductor's time was spent in shak- ing the coins through the slot. The same method of collecting fares prevails in Mon- treal save that the boxes there loox re like flatirons than beer mugs, and when the conductor approaches you with one of them you fear he may be about to as- sault you with some deadly weapon. A Look &t Parlinment. I took a look at the parliament houses this afternoon. They are built upon Parlia- ment Hill, just above the commercial part of the town, ard in as commanding a loca tion as is our Capitol at Washington. The lawn about them covers many acres, and it is as velvety as that of an English park. At the back, away below you, flows the wide Ottawa river, its banks lined with piles of lumber and its waters covered with saw log: ou can see for miles across rautiful farms ex- above and be- r by you hear Ik to one side and look down upon the The parliament buildings make you think more of a han a great government struc ture.

CARPENT _— How a Spider Disappears. From the Florida Citizen. On the borders of the Everglades y: often see a large yellow spider. He sw a strong web from two pliant twigs on each side of a path of clear space of ground and waits fer his prey. The web is in the shape of a hammock, and tapers at each end to a fine point, though quite broad in the middle. The bright color of the owner seems to mark him out for de- struction—he is clearly defined against the white sand or dead leaves, and you wonder what he would do for d in case of attack.

A Locomotive’s Health, Frem the Toronto Mail. Locomotives, like human beings, have their ailments, many of which defy the skill of those deputed to look after them. We hear of tired razors, a simple com- plaint which vanishes after a brief period of repose, but locomotives are apt to betray indispesition even after a day’s rest and much oiling of the various parts. Two good engines may be made on the most approved principle. They may each cost—as those of the London and Northwestern railway do— £2,200, and yet one will exhibit from the first a hardihood of constitution altogether wanting in its companion. A first-class locomotive, of 300 horse-power, costing £2,000, 1s expected to travel during its life 200,000 miles, or, say, 13,000 miles per an- num for fifteen years; yet now and then an engine is found so impervious to the as- saults of time as to be able in its old age to do its daily work with all the zest and vigor of a youngster. ———_+o+—___ Electricity and Singing.
