Military ,Telegraph Line Now Com- pleted to International Border, Gen. Greeley, chief signal officer, has received a dispatch saying that the military telegraph line has been com- pleted from Port Egbert, or Eagle City, Alaska, to the international beundary line near Dawson. The Ca- nadian line extends from the boun- dary to Dawson and from that city southward to Skagaway. y There is a gap of about 35 miles in the line from Dawson to Quesnelle and the Canadian company is consid- ering the advisability of covering this | line by couriers during the winter. Tne building of the line had to be abandoned on account of severe weather. As the line reaches Skagaway it is within three days’ sail of the tele- graph office at Victoria, and this brings the troops of the United States at Fort Egbert within telegraphic communication with the war depart- ment at Washington save the three | now with special reference to the re- Brand Ravits Perstae'ieview' NEW INVASION OF INDIA, American Cigarettes Are Carryi2R All Before Them in the Orient. The idea that the native Indian es- | chews all but his mative tobacco, | which he takes mostly in the form of cheroots, receives a hard shock from the newly issued official Review of the Trade of India. It appears that in 1898-99 the imports of manufactured tobacco, especially in the shape of cigarettes, underwent much expan- | sion. ‘ It is no longer true that the _con- | sumption of imported tobacco is prac- | tically confined to the Anglo-Indian population. Cigarettes made in Amer- ica are being extensively imported quirements of the native smoker, says the London Mail. They are greatly in evidence in and about Calcutta and other large cities, where they are be- ginning to supersede the unclean and | unsayory compounds smoked in na- tive apparatus. : Imported cottons have largely su- perseded the production of the native handloom; imported mineral oil and, dyes have superseded the inferior ar- ticles produced in the country, to the great advantage of the consumer; im-} ported sugar is also gradually begin- ning to thrust back the inferior and dirty sugar hitherto offered. to the Indian consumer; and now it seems that Indian tobacco is to recoil be- fore the invasion of foreign tobacco made up in neatly packed cigarettes.

The queen wes obliged to punish it by dismissing the man from his post. At the same time she showed her real feelings on the subject by appointing him immediately to another and bet+ ter place in the royal household. In another case a queen of Spain nearly lost her life in a dreadful way owing to this peculiar rule. She had been thrown when out riding, and, her foot catching in the stirrup, she was dragged. Her escort would not risk interference, and she would have been dashed to pieces but for the heroic in- ;terposition of a young man who ‘stopped the horse and released her | from her dangerous position.

The Excuse Given by a New Reporter for Neglecting His Duty. “Say, hustle down to the stockyards right away,” said the city editor to the new réporter, says the Chicago Chronicle. “There’s a fire down there. It may turn into something big, but even if it doesn’t we want a good lit- tle story on it anyhow.” The new reperter ‘shot out of the door, with perspiration starting at every pore. The fire did not turn out to be a great conflagration, so no more reporters were sent down to the “One of the most brilliant men of my | yards to take care of it.

Two women — the empress dowager of China and the queen of England— alone govern about half the entire population of the world. The third in importance is young Queen Wilhel- mina of Holland, whose home land numbers less than 5,000,000 souls, but whose colonies have 30,000,000.
