Condition On, the Yukon Have

Wahiiimotoh, March 1. The war de
partment ha decided to abandon the
expedition for the relief of tbe miner In
the Klondike country, because the con-
cl union hai been reached that no neces
ity existe for it.
Secretary Alicer has written a letter to
Senator Ilawley, chairman of the senate
committee on military affaire, explain
ing the department's position, and ak-
ing congreB to take action authorizing
tbe department to dinuose of the luppliei
purchased for the expedition, Including
the reindeer from Norway and to abau-
don the project entirely.
In hie letter Alger aaya conditioni on
the Yukon have changed to as to render
the expedition onneneseary, and that
Generals Miles and Merriam both agree
with him. He is also advised to this
eflect by the Canadian minister of the
interior. The military committee met
today but did not act upon the request.
Vancouakr Babracks, Wash., Mar. 1.
The newt of the abandonment of the
I government expedition was not a sur
prise to the officer here. General
Merriam has had no official notification
of this movement from the war depart
ment, but. judging froa events and the
facts of the case, he ha no doubt of the
truth of the report. This move will not
effect the troops now in Alaska, except
the command under Captain B. Eldridge,
who is still with the supplies at Skag
way. These men will be sent to their
proper companies, now stationed at
either Dyea or Skagway.
The public in general has thought this
relief expedition very slow in starting,
but General Merriam never intended
from the beginning to let the troops get
over the pass until after March I, as in
formation from the managers and men
of the Hudson's Bay Company, who
have been in that country fot the past
50 years, advises the authorities here
that no matter what route -or meant of
travel be taken, it is impossible to go
over the passes until after March 1, as
February is the worst month of the year
in that country. Drifting snow then
makes travel impossible for either man
or animals.
The reindeer now in New York will
undoubtedly go on to Alaska, as they
will be of great benefit to the government
exploring expedition now getting ready
to start from here, and from all accounts
there is plenty of moss in the country
for them to live on.
New York, March 1 The special
train over the Pennsylvania carrying the
reindeer and attendants which were in
tended for the proposed government re
lief expedition left Jersey City tonight
for Seattle. The train will be run on
special schedule, requiring about 5,4
days to Seattle.

Nanaimo, B. C. Feb. 28. The steamer
Oregon arrived here this afternoon from
Skugway and Dyea. She had a number
of passengers who are returning home
dimtuated with Alaska. Before the Ore
gon left Skagway, 17 deattiB from cerebro
spinal meningitis were reported in 24
hours.
the dead, the only names as
certained were B. Austrander, of Port
land, Or. ;. Montella, of Des Moines,
la., Jones Hawbacher, of Astoria, Or. j
George Baker, of Everett, wasn. ; a emia
named Atkins, of Albany, and a boy
named Anderson.
Dr. 0. B. EsteB, of Astoria, who was a
nsssenirer on the Oregon, predicts that
the number of deaths will soon run into
the hundreds.
Klondike Reindeer Arrived.
Nbw York, Feb 27. The Lapland
reindeer for the Yukon expedition for
the government reached New York to
dav on the steamer Manitoban, 21 days
from Bosekop, arctic Lapland. The ex
pedition is in charge of Dr. bheldon
Jackson, who introduced the first domes
tic reindeer in Alaska, and now under
the auspices of the general government,
is placing there the first colony of Laps.
The Manitoban brings a unique cargo,
consisting of 113 immigrants, 237 rein
deer, 410 reindeer sleds, 511 sets of rein
deer harness, and between 3000 and
4000 bags of moss for feeding the rein
deer en route.
The immigrants consist of 43 Laps, 10
Finns and 15 Norweigian reindeer
herders and drivers and their families,
making a party of 68 men, 19 women and
26 children. Among them are six bridal
couples, who were married a few days
before the sailing of i tbe steamer.
Only one deer was lost on the the
journey of 4000 miles from Lapland.
The government ha a contract with the
Pennsylvania railroad to. transport the
deer to Seattle. . The contract calls for
delivery In 8eattle In 158 boars. From
Seattle tbe outfit will be forwarded to
Skagwayand Dawson, and thence dis
tributed to tbe ; government stations.
Tbe cost of the berd purchased by Dr.
Jackson it believed to have been about
$50,000. -
COBBETT MOT ftCBPRIMED.
Will Btun to Oreg on and Do What He
Can for Hound Money.
Washington, Feb. 28 Senator Cor
bett said today, after the vote, that the
result was not unexpected, and he bad
to written bis friends in Oregon. In a
letter to Governor Lord, some days ago,
be stated the case, which has since been
proyen. There were against him certain
republicans who bad voted against seat
ing Mantlo, and felt they should keep
their records straight, holding there was
no difference in the two cases. Then
many tilver men were against him be
cause he was a sound-money man.
There was also an element in the demo
cratic party which united with tbe op
position. The republicans hold a major
ity in tbe senate, and they did not want
to increase the republican membership.
These three elements combined to pre
vent seating him. Governor Lord, when
informed of these conditions, still in
sisted that Mr. Cor bett, holding his com
mission without solicitation, should go
ahead and place the senate on record.
Mr. Corbett has also found a secret inter
est at work against him which has bad
its effect, and to which be attributes
some votes. Some time ago be was ap
proached by a silver senator who asked
him what concession he would make to
tilver if he was seated, but Mr. Corbett
replied that be would make no conces
sions, and he came as a gold standard
man and would so vote if he should be
seated. Mr. Corbett says be will retnrn
to Oregon and do what he can for sound
money, and is confident the cause will
win In tbe June election.
MAINE EXPLOSION.
Submarine Mine and gpanl.h Treachery
at the Bottom.
The Chicago Tribune of February 24
has this dispatch from Washington:
It is a significant fact within the last
two days there bat been a remark
able change of opinion in the nary de
partment in regard to the explosion of
the Maine. When the first news arrived
here last week experts at the depart
ment were nearly evenly divided as
between an accident and design. But
today, after studying tbe later reports,
and especially the photographs sent from
Havana, nine out of ten of the officers at
the department express the belief that
the Maine was anchored over a subma
rine mine. The only difference of opin
ion seemB to be as to whether that mine
was exploded by Spanish officers acting
under orders or by soma enthusiast.
The latter opinion is generally held, but
it is said that this does not lessen in any
great degree the responsibility of Spain
for the horrible catastrophe. If tbe
Spanish officers allowed the warship to
be moored to a buoy which was attached
to a submarine mine they thereby be
came responsible for the result whether
the mine was exploded by official orders
or not. Tbe placing of the Maine in an
exposed place in the harbor, if it was
done at all was done by Spanish officers,
and if the mine was exploded by any
body at all they were directly responsible
The Maine and Catholicism.
Nkw York, Feb. 26. In an interview
today, Archbishop Ireland said :
"Certsinly, if guilt is brought to tbe
door of Spain, full retributive justice
should be the order of the day. Liberal
indemnity, apology and full reparation
ought to be preferable, rather than
course which would entail the country
into the consequences of war. The atti
tude of tbe administration is dignified
and worthy of this great nation. What
is tbe attitude of the Catholio church at
this time? The Catholic church assumes
no attitude of any kind. She has not
been called upon the scene. The fact
that Spain is a Catholic nation matters
nothing. The question is not one of
religion. If there is a question at all, it
is one of international right.'

SHEEP CONVENTION
First Ever. Held In This Part
of the Country.
Among tbe Speakers and Many Dele
gates Were Governor Lord
and Fred W. Wilton.
The Dallcs, March 1. The conven
tion of tbe Pacific Northwest Wool grow
ers' Association, which opened today
in The Dalles, is the first of the kind
ever beld In this section of tbe country,
and the sheepmen have shown their in
terest by attending in large numbers.
Prominent woolgrowera from all over the
Northwest are among the delegates
The nnanimout sentiment seems to be
that such an organization as is being;
formed at this time can accomplish at
great deal toward smoothing the paths
of theepgrowen. There are a number of
problems affecting all engaged ic the
indusuy which require concerted action.
Chief among these is the necessity of
adopting protective mestures against
diseases of sheep and of eradicating scab.
This is tbe only disease which has ob
tained a foothold among Oregon flocks,
and by united effort, it is confidently
stated, eyen such a contagious disease
can be stamped out.
Another question of vital interest to
the growers is the best way to improve
the quality of their Socks and how best
to utilize the range. Animated discus
sions are beld in regard to tbe proper
manner to feed in order to Improve the
quality of mutton without depreciating
that of the wool. Practical growers say
this is tbe most important factor in
achieving permanent success in the
future. Taking tbe merino as the basis
for range sheep, on account of its well
known characteristics of staying in flocks,
they are endeavoring to cross in a way
that will preserve this feature and tbe
high-grade wool, and at the same time
improve the mutton possessed by tbe
pure merino.
Among the sheepmen in attendance
at tbe convention are :
James C. Cartright, representing the
Baldwin Land & Sheep Company, which
owns over 20,000 sheep, tbe largest hold
ing of any one concern; Charles Cun
ningham, a large grower from Pendleton,
and C. H. Williams, of Deer Lodge,
Mont., a well-known sheepraiser.' ;
Charles Helton, of Antelope, is tbe
largest grower in Gilliam county and J.
F. Smith, of Pilot Rock, has extensive
flocks and makes a specialty of fine
breeds. George YoungA Son, of Ridge
way, have one of the finest-bred Shrop
shire bands in tbe state. C. H. Sberar,
of Sberar's Bridge is among the heaviest
individual owners.
Other prominent growers present are r
J. W. Blake, of Condon, L. A. Grove, of
Walla Walla, Zachary Taylor, J.N. Wil
liamson, and E. B. Sparks.
Captain M. S. Ormsby, special forestry
agent of the government, is present, in
accordance with instructions from Wash
ington, to confer with the growers about
the new plan to utilize the Cascade and
Pacific reserve. Tbe plan contemplates
the giving of grazing rights to sheepmen
for merely nominal fees, each applicant
having exclusive rights to a designated
area. The number of sheep permitted
in a section will , be regulated, and if
fire breaks out through tbe negligence of
the sheepman, his flocks will hereafter
be debarred froin the reserves. The
idea is indorsed by prominent growers.
The convention was called to order at
2 p. m. by George C. Blakely, president
of The Dalles Commercial club. After av
prayer by Rev. Joseph DeForest, an ad
dress of welcome in beholf of the Com
mercial Club was made by Fred W.
Wilson.
Mayor M. T. Nolan welcomed the del
egates for the city, and was followed by
Governor W. P. Lord, who delivered an
address of welcome in behalf of the
state. He said :
"It gives me pleasure to be present at
this meeting of your association. I as
sure you that I am in hearty accord with
its object and that I believe a thorough
discussion of the subjects selected for
your consideration will . be followed by
beneficial results.
"The effect of your deliberations can
not fail to awaken renewed interest in
the woolgrowing industry and give bet
ter understanding of its needs to make
it a profitable business. I am not here,
however, to make a speech, but to give
assurance by my presence of my interest '
and sympathy in your movement to form
an association for the betterment and
protection of the industry in which you
are engaged.
"The farmer class has come to under
stand the necessity of a joint council and
the value ot united action. They realize
that individual effort, however Btrongly
put forth, cannot effect as much as con
certed action. They see that other
trades and industries have formed asso
ciations for the protection of their par-
