Informaticn has unofficially reached the Treasury Department from a trustworthy scurce, that the Canadian’government has given the right to a company to build a railroad from Glenora, on the Sitikene river, to Lake Teslin, a distance of 130 miles into the outskirts of the Yukon country. The most important concession, however, is that the Canadian govern- ment has guaranteed that it will not al- low any other railroad to enter Canadian territory for a period of five years, thus shutting out competition which might be started by Americans. ‘There has been a prospect of the build- ing of a railroad by Americans from Dyea or Skaguayy which are only six miles apart, into Canadian territory, touching cne of the trails to the Yukon country. To be a success the road would have to enter Canada for some distance. Under the provision made with the railroad com- pany Canada would not permit this. The road to be built to Lake Teslin will ecnvey passengers from there up the Tes- lin river by boat to the gold fields, shorten- ing the journey considerably. Glenora is about 100 miles from the American border, ard is easily reached. cour Uae eee THE PURE FLOUR BILL. Millers of the Northwest to Urge Its Passage. The extensive milling industry of the northwest is organizing to secure favora- ble action on the “pure flour’ bill intro- duced by Representative Pearce of Mis- souri. Representative Tawney of Minne- sota today received a dispatch from some of the millers stating their purpose to urge the bill, and to come to Washington at an early date for a hearing before the ways and means committee. The measure is on the line of the oleo- margarine and filled cheese laws. It de- fines mixed flour, regulates its sale and importation, and’ requires packages of flour to be conspicuously marked so as to disclose the true contents, weight, etc. In answering some of the communica- tions from milling men, Mr. Tawney point- ed out the line of action which he regarded desirabte for them to follow to secure favorable action by Congress. He said it would be necessary for them to come here prepared to show the fact of adulteration; its effect on the trade, on consumption and on exports, and its necessity as a sanitary measure. He stated that most of the minority members of the House would be against the proposition on the sround that it was in the interest of a special industry, and was special legisla- tion, and that some of tie republican mem- bers of the ways and means committee en- tertained similar views. For this reason, he poifited out, it was essentiat to justify the.measure on the same grounds as the. oleomargarine and the filled cheese laws, namely, as.a police provision for the protegtion of health. On these grounds Mr. Tawney supports the measure, and he says,the, Agriculture De- partment has made investigations on the adulteration of flour which show con- clusively that a law for purity in this most common article of dojnestic use is neces- sary. In this connection Mr. Tawney says the export of American c! has doubled since the filled cheese ‘bill went into effect. At the samé time our export of flour is being considerably threatened by the adul- terations which are being put on the mar- ket. The Minnesota member regards it as a healthy sign that the American interests are combining to establish purity of their own goods, and he says ‘that success in this movement will far to make Ameri- can goods proof against attacks from Ger- many or other foreign consumers. ee The~Aldrich-Plowman Contest. The House yesterday entered upon the consideration of the Aldrich-Plowman con- tested election case from the fourth Ala- bama district. The majority of the com- mittee reported in favor of seating the re- publican contestant, on the ground of con- spiracy, an allegation vigorously denied by the democratic minority. Mr. Plowman’s plurality on the face of the returns was 2,967. The majority revised the figures so as to give Aldrich a plurality of 342, Two speeches were made yesterday on each side; by Messrs.

Greenup, who is in Washing- ton for a brief season, had this to say to a Star reporter of his observations in Alaska during a recent visit there: “Early last summer I became tmbuéd with an earnest desire to see for myself our Russian purchase, that I might the better judge of its resources, availability, temperature, and the means of access to the gold fields. I started from Louisville alone, supplying myself with about six hundred pounds of clothing, blankets, etc. My first stop was Seattle, Washington, Where a large number of gold hunters nake up their outfits. At Seattle I got tegether about two tons of previsions, flour, sugar, coffee and the like. I also had to jay in some extra muckinac clothing, blankets and Indian muk-luks for the cold and wet region into which I was going, for there it rains or snows nearly all the time. I went by steamer from Seattle to Dyea. On the way we stopped at Victoria, Ninai- mo, Wrangell, Juneau ard other points. I went ashore at Wrangell and investigated the trail for that route. I do not consider it a feasible way to get to the upper Yu- kon in winter time. I also went out part way on the Dalton trail at Pyramid Har- bor, and from the outicok I think it will do for a summer trip orly. I do not be- lieve it ought to be considered when a win- ter road is wanted. ~ “I got to Dyea August 15. It was a city of one house, Healey’s store and two tents. There were just two white people there. I made the third. At Dyea the trouble be- gins; mud from one to three feet deep and centinued fog or rain. We were towed from the steamer to the head of Lynn ca- nal on a scow. From there we went by short stages to the foot of the Chilcoot pass. When I say there were just three of us at Dyea, of course, you must under- stand that there were many coming and going on the trail all the time. Ench Carries His Own. “Each man took out from Dyea what he cculd carry of his outfit, and conveyed it to some convenient place five to seven miles beyond, There he laid it down and covered it up so as to protect it from the weather as well as he could. Then he dou- bled back on his trail and took out another load. This process was repeated as often as necessary to get the whole outfit to the first stopping place out from Dyea. Then the process was repeated until the foot of the pass was reached. “On this trip from Dyea to the pass I met Major Walsh, governor of ‘the North- west territory under the Canadian govern- ment, and from him I learned a great deal of the operations of the Canadian govern- ment in that Section. He, of course, had no authority at Dyea, as it is on American soil. Everything is protected there by the same law that moves the vigilance commit- tee in any new country. Any wrong-doer is summarily dealt with; hence our goods were safe piled along the trail. Every group of men is a law unto itself, and thieving and crime are generally suppress- ed with a strong hand. The quickest man with the trigger carries the day, but there are usually in such a country enough right- minded men ready with guns, for self-in- terest, if for no other reason, to keep things straight. But Major Waish had a company of soldiers with him, and the Ca- nadian government was on hand with suffi- cient force to preserve order as soon as we crossed into their territory. “There was a notable difference between the tardiness with which our government appeared on the grounds on the way to the gold diggings and the promptness of the British in having the blue and the gray of the Canadian army at its post of duty in the new country. I saw no official of the United States government at all on my way out after leaving Fort Wrangell. Major Walsh was going over the Chilcoot as I went, and I was treated as kindly by him as if I had been of his own people. I took dinner with”him at Sheep Camp, just this side of Chilcoot. It was not exactly such a function as you mean by a dinner here in Washington; no official etiquette to bother anybody. But we had enough to eat and a jolly time of it in spite of the difficulties of our situation.” The Crucial Point. “How did you get over the pass?” asked the reporter. “That, of course, was the crucial point of the trip. No one can appreciate that pass without seeing it. No animal can carry @ load across it, at least none” ex- cept nan. We hired Indians to take our provisions over and paid them $15 a day. Major Walsh paid 50 cents a pound, and one big Indian made $50 one day working for him. Chileoot canon is seven and a half miles long, and where the trail threads a'ong the mountcin’s side it is about 2,000 feet frcm the bottom and 5,000 feet from the top of the canon, suspended in mid- air as {t were on a wall of solid masonry one and one-quarter miles in height. On the way over the pass I met with an acci- dent which will make me remember it as leng as I live. I fell down the slope near- ly 200 feet into the edge ef Crater lake with a seventy-pound pack on my pack. A big rock in the rim of the lake caught me with a rough bump or I shouldn't be here today. My Indians, who were packing goods over with me at the time I fell, came down as quickly as they could and carried me on to a piace of safety. Major Walsh’s men heard of the accident and conveyed me to his tent at Lake Linder- man, I was pretty badly bruised up with the fall, but in a few days was able to be about again. “At Lake Linderman we had to camp for a week to build a boat for the sail down the Yukon. As this is an extremely hazard. ous trip the boat must be built out of heavy lur®ber, which the tourist must saw out himself. A boat twenty feet long is the usual size. With the boat finished and packed we—my Indian, Stick Charley, and myself—rowed through the lakes and then started down the river, which has an aver- age width there of about one mile. In some places the shores are precipitous, while in others they gradually recede, and are heavily covered with pine, spruce and other northern varieties of timber. Besides the timber, however, there is no vegetation whatever, except the reindeer moss, which in places is matted to the depth of two feet. The ground never thaws out and nothing of an agricultural nature is raised, the natives living upon fish and game. The traveler must keep his almanac with him, for nobody there knows the day of the week or month, or much else about time except the time of year. It must have been somewhere about the middle of September when I reached Selkirk. “Ninety-five per cent of the fortune hunt- ers going into that country are Ameritans. Many of them are sturdy and_ honest. Some are air-castle builders, and others are of the gambling and criminal classes. Many have gone into the interior wholly unprepared for the hardships found there, and by exposure and excesses have con- tracted rheumatism, bronchitis and other diseases; hence the untold suffering that was to be observed.” Use of Steam Sled. “Will the steam sled be practicable on the Yukon?” the reporter inquired. “It certainly cannot be utilized, for the reason that frequent rough places occur in the ice, on account of the rapids, and for the further reason that the Yukon freezes solid to the bottom and bulges up in many places as large and as high as one of your government buildings. If trans- portation can be secured for inland Alaska, in my opinion it will prove rich and of great value to our government in gold, copper and other minerals, furs, timber, and fish, but mo agricultural development can ever be accomplished. Along the coast, however, vegetation and small crops grow, and the temperature is as mild as in Wash- ington. In November men were working at Dyea, at midnight, in their shirt sleeves.’ “Do you think the tramway over Chil- coot pass will be completed?” asked the When I left there the spikes were nearly all set in the moun’ will be propelled by electricity. When this hemes leted the packers will be out of a ob.” “What is your plan of relief, Mr. Green- up, for those sufferers beyond the pass?” asked the reporter. “You will pardon me, but I do not wish to be interviewed upon that subjec:. I have a plan that I think practicable/ and expect while here to meet the government official in charge of that matter and submit it to them. I will state, however, that I do not think it possible to haul provisions into the Yukon country with reindeer.” ——_—_ OPPOSED TO ANNEXATION. Senator Pettigrew Speaks on Hawatlian Treaty. The only speaker on the Hawatian an- nexation treaty in the executive session of the Senate yesterday afternoon was Sen- ator Pettigrew of South Dakota. Mr. Pettigrew opposed the treaty, resuming his speech where he had left off a week ago, taking up the line of his argument in connection with his assertions concern- ing the area and population of the islands. He asserted that the area capable of sugar cvitivation amounted to fully a half a million acres and said that as the land was very productive there was no doubt that all the sugar necessary to supply the de- mands of the United States could be pro- duced in Hawaii. He quoted official sta- tistics to the effect that in eleven months of = year there had been 496,000,000 pounds cf Hawaiian sugar imported i the United States. = ae ae The senator then undertook to show that all the sugar grown on the islands must be produced by Asiatic labor, re- peating and elaborating the argument that no colonies of the Anglo-Saxon rr_e had ever been successful within the tropics. If, he argued, we should annex the is- lands the Japanese would inevitably take Possession of them, and we could not in any decree check their inroads under our new treaty with Japan which goes into effect next year. In view of this fact he contended that whatever bounty we give or tariff we levy the result will be in the interest of Asiatic labor in Hawaii. Sen- ator Pettigrew held that the result of the encouragement of this species of labor would be to the detriment of our own com- merce, which he contended is already de- clining In the Hawaiian Islands. He took issue with those who contend that the islands are in the track of com- merce, saying that they are not on the Way to or from any place or any country. He held that a fleet would be necessary for the protection of the islands if we should own them and that if hostilities should be begun against this country with our fleet at Honolulu we should be in an awkward predicament’ He then undertook to show that many of our war ships do not carry sufficient coal to bring them from Honolulu to San Francisco under forced draught, while others only carry a little more than enough for that purpose. “Bup- Pose, for instance,” he eaid, “San Francisco should be attacked by the enemy and we should cable to Honolulu for the fleet, a cable having been supposedly constructed. Many of them would not be able to reach our coast, and if the others should be en- gaged for a day or two off the coast their coal supply would be exhausted and they would be perfectly helpless, capable neither of continuing their journey to San Fran- cisco nor of returning to Honolulu.” If, on the other hand, he argued, the islands should be in the possession of a hostile power we would be perfectly secure from an attack from that source for the same reason. Then the hostile vessels would not be able to cover the great distance between the two countries on forced draught because of the incapacity to carry sufficient coal for that purpose. “It is as absurd,” exclaimed the senator, “to taik of defending San Francisco from Hawaii as it is to talk of defending New York from Ireland, for the distance is about the same.” Senator Pettigrew at 5 o’clock announced that he had not conciuded his speech, but would continue today. ——_—__-e-_______ UNDER ARMS THROUGH CANADA. Feeling at Ottawa Regarding the Klondike Relief Expedition. According to an Ottawa, Ont., dispatch, feeling at Ottawa is decidedly averse to permission being given United States troops to accompany the Klondike relief expedi- tion. Minister Sifton sees no harm in the expedition being a semi-military one, but he recognizes that public feeling is against him on that score, and is endeavoring to temporize with the Washington authorities. In the Canadian commons Tuesday, in re- ply to the question whether United States regulars would be allowed to accompany the rellef, Mr. Sifton said he would not per- mit American soldiers to go through Cana- dian territory “under arms.” Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn, on being questioned concerning the above dispatch, said it was true that there had been some confusion of terms on the “‘con- voy” which the United States should se- lect to accompany the Yukon relief expedi- tion, and that the matter was still open. But the Canadian government had been as- sured that the enlisted men whom it was proposed to send across Canadian soil were in no sense an armed force, but rather a Red Cross expedftion to distribute relief to all sufferers without regard to nationality, and he had no doubt that the matter would be easily adjusted without great delay. 2 ee Se DINED BY SENATOR GORMAN.

Mr. Litzikas, United States vice consul general at Belgrade, in a report to the State Department in regard to the com- merce of Servia, expresses the opinion that the manufacturers of leather in the United States will find an important outlet in Servia for their products. He thinks they could successfully compete with the Aus- trian and British manufacturers, who now control the market. ———___+e+____ Silver Coin Barred.

The al- lowance for the purchase of land was re- duced from $50,000 to $40,000, making a total for land and improvements of $65,000. The measure has been championed by the leading army organizations of the coun- try, It provides for securing the lands } ing around the city of Vicksburg Where the memorable campaign took place, and the preservation as far as possible of the origi- nal earthworks and defenses. The work is to be under the direction of the Secretary of War, assisted by a commission of three, two of whom shall have served under Grant at the siege and one in the army of General Pemberton. Distilling Interests Heard, gation representing the distflling ale Hquor interests of the coun- try appeared before the ways and means committee yesterday to urge an amend- ment of the internal revenue laws so that “outage” shall be allowed on liquor held in bond beyond four years. The dele tion included representatives of the Na- tional Wholesale Liquor Dealers’ Associa- tion, the Kentucky Distillers’ Association, the Eastern Distillers’ Association. Under the present law, when whisky is n out of bond at the end of four years, the govern- ment allows nine gallons of evaporation and leakage, but no allowance is made beyond that period. The distillers urged that the same evaporation and leakage continued beyond the four years and should be de- ducted from the quantity on which the $1.10 tax is levied. It was argued that the practical effect of the present law was to discourage the aging of whisky and to make the tax greater on old whisky than on that held only four years. In the course of the hearing Chairman Dingley remark- ed that he thought this subject should be considered in connection with the general question of fixing a just rate of taxation on spirits, although he said it was unde- sirable to take up the general question of tax until it was clearly established what the revenues of the government were to be under the present law. The hearing will continue tomorrow. Armor Plate. The Senat> committee on naval affairs has agreed to recommead an amendment to the naval appropriation bill authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to enter into a contract with existing armor plants for supply armor for the three battl: ships, the Alabama, Illinois and Wisconsin, now in course of construction, if proper terms could be secured. In the matter of te the committee was guided by the sugges- tion of Secretary Long that a contract could be secured at the rate of $400 per ton for armor, including the nickel in tt, and this rate was fixed as the maximum. Previous to taking of the vote there Was some disc ion of the subject, some of the members holding to the view that the government should proceed with its own plant. Senators Tillman and Butler east the only votes cast against the pro- vision. There is an informal undorstand- ing that the question of a government plant will be taken up at the next meeting. Committee Notes. The plan advocated by Surgeon General Wyman for a national quarantin> service will be given a hearing by the House com- mittee on commerce next week, Friday. All of the bills proposing additional United States judges have been referred to a special committee of the House judiciary committee, which will take up the indi- vidual cases and the needs of various lo- calities. The subcommittee is headed by Representative Henderson of lowa. The bill to reimburse the state of Penn- sylvanfa for the balance of $46,000 paid the militia called out in 1863 has been favor- ably acted on by the Hous> committee ou war claims. The House committee on patents yester- day acted favorably on the bill amending the patent law of March 3, 189 oO as to limit the restrictions against patenting an article on which foreign patent has already been issued or previously described in a foreign publication. The bill provides that the restriction shall not apply to applic ticns made within sixty days from the pas- sage of the proposed amendment, The new pneumatic vervice for the irans- ™ ‘ion of mail will be opened in New Ycrk Friday, and members of the House committe> on post offices and post roads have accepted an offer of a private car to take them to w York that day for an inspection of the system. The House naval committee has taken up the question of dry docks, and in this cennection a hearing was given yesterday to President Dykeman of the New York Dry Dock Company on the subject of dock construction. Other dock experts will be heard during the next few days. gees ras WRITING LETTERS TO PARIS, Correspondent Gallia Paying a Visit to This Country. Mr. Gallia, a well-known journalist of Paris, is in this country on an important mission, which includes the writing of let- ters to leading French newspapers, the dis- semination of information about the Paris exposition of 1900 and the furtherance of closer commercial relations between the United States and France. He paid his respects to President McKinley and the French ambassador yesterday afternoon. He is at the Arlington. He expects to write a number of letters from this country, as his travels will take him to most of the im- portant cities, including San Francisco. He is especially interested in the railways of the United States, which in many ways show points of superiority to those of France. Mr. Gallia in the visit of Major Moses P. Handy, the late sp®cial commissioner to the Paris exposition, acted as atiache to the commission. He hopes to aid in largely in- creasing American interest in the big fair of 1900. By means of his letters to the Paris journals Mr. Gallia also expects to strengthen French acquaintance with the United States, its affairs, business and peo- ple, and thus to pave the way for more in- timate commercial relations. Before de- parting from Paris he was received by Mr. Boucher, the minister of commerce, before whom he held his views. The importation of American meats is forbidden in France, and the duty on breadstuffs fs high. By of- fering a mitigation of these hindrances to American commerce, France, he believes, might obtain reciprocal advantages for her exporters from this country. Arlington Wheeimen Banquet.
