The stores for the expedition have arrived here and will be placed on board ship. The expedition, which will be led by Captain Abercrombie, is one of the most important in many respects that has ever been dispatched to Alaska by | 10W It differential i the Government. The men of the party have been chosen with particular ref- erence to their abilities to withstand | the exposure and fatigue incident to| travel through the wilderress.

Reports have been recently made public to the effect that General Carlos Ezeta, the exiled President of Salvador, has already received a settlement of his es- tates in that place, and that he now has a sum closely bordering on $2,000,000 at his disposal. When spoken to regarding these reports, General Ezeta sai “I am surprised to see in the press so many things in relation to myself. I deny the story of the millions. I am at this moment demanding the restitution of some of my property which has been confiscated, which will not be anywhere near the amount stated of $2,000,000. “I have had communications to the ef- fect that the Government will return, or has already returned my property. In relation to the law suit, I must assure you that there is nothing else but the inexperience of a stranger who has not the insight of people who wish to bleed him. Naturally I have to resign myself to the consequences, so that in the future 1 will not be the victim of those people again. 1 owe in Oakland, as any house- hélder may owe, money, and any one with whom I have lived will inform you as to whether my bills have been pald on presentation or not.

Referring to the rate war, the presi- dent declared that the Canadian Pa- | | cific Railroad desired an exclusive con- tract with the Grand Trunk Railroad in order to weaken the Chicago con- nection and damage the Grand Trunk explained, would never give up its close alliance with its allies. On the larger question of differen- tials and the Klondike business the president said that the Canadian Pa- cific Railroad had yet to prove its title to a differential. The negotiations would be continued next month and it was believed an agreement would be reached. The president declared the future was filled with the brightest promise. An attack upon the board was made by Mr. Baker of Bristol, who declared there was no truth in the president regarding the Grand Trunk Railway not beginning the rate war, which, according to Mr. Baker, was brought about in the interest of the American allies of the road. The president denied Mr. Baker's assertion. The retiring directors were re-elected. CHICAGO, April 5.—Western passe ger agents held a meeting here to-day to agree on a common line of action to be pursued by them at the confer- | ence to be held with the Canadian Pa- cific next Tuesday, in New York, of the settlement of the present transconti- nental passenger rate war.

Those elected have pledged themselves to demand for the city compensation for all public fran- chises. With thirteen holdovers the re- form element will have thirty-eight votes in the City Council, or a majority of three. The politics of the Aldermen elected were: Democrats, 17; Republi- cans, 17; independent. 1. The returns for town officers show electing the town tickets in the three great divisions of the city—north, south and west. The Democrats also elected the town officers in the town ot] Lake. The Republicans elected their candidates for town officers in Hyde Park, Lakeview and Jefferson. In Cicero the entire Republican ticket was elected. With the exception of the Nineteenth Ward, where the reform element was | defeated in its opposition to Alderman John Powers, the election passed off Quietly. About 68 per cent of last | spring’s mayorality vote was cast. MILWAUKEE, April 5.—The munici- | | pal election which was held in this city resulted in a landslide for the Demo- cratic-Populist ticket, which elected the | entire city ticket by a plurality of about 6000. David S. Rose will be the next Mayor. It was a victory for munici- | pal ownership of public utilities. The convention which nominated the suc- cessful candidates also indorsed the platform of the Chicago convention which nominated W. J. Bryan. The complexion of the new City Couucil will |also be decidedly Democratic, being | composed of twenty-eight Democrats and fourteen Republicans. LINCOLN, Nebr.,, April 5.—Republi- cans elected their entire city ticket to- | dav by slightly reduced majorities in a few instances, a factional fight in| the party growing out of the impeach- | ment trial of Mayor Graham being | responsible.

The Repub- licans also elected six out of eight Councilmen and will have a good work- ing majority. The issue was sharply drawn on the question of payment of a large amount of city warrants which had once been paid by a fcrmer City Treasurer and subsequently reissued to innocent parties. The fusionists in their platform declared against pay- ment of these warrants. LAS VEGAS, New Mex., April 5.— The Republican city ticket was to-day defeated by the combined opposition.
