dian Pacific Navigation Company, that
the transportation of American freight
from Seattle or other American ports
consigned for Alaskan ports, Victoria
or Nanainio, and at these ports trans
ferred to British vessels, is a violation
of our coasting laws and subjects the
merchandise to forfeiture. The de
cision is a strong measure for the pro

to Alaska in which there have been in
dications that British corporations
hope to break into.

ORDERED TO HAVANA.
Illg Battle-ship Maine Going Kottlh on
hliort Notice.
Washington, Jan. 2(1. Within 48
hours, for the first time since tho in
surrection broke out in Culm, three
years ago, the United Slates govern
ment will be represented in the harbor
of Havana by n warship. The decision
to send the United States battle-ship
Maine was finally reached at a special
meeting at the White House this morn
ing, between the president, Secretary
Long, Assistant Secretary Day, Attorney-General
McKenua and General
Miles, and it is a striking fact that,
with tho exception of Secretary Long
and the attorney-general, tint a member
of tho cabinet knew of the intention to
take this radical action. It is denied,
however, that some such move bus long
been in contemplation, as evidenced in
tho following statement of Secretary
Day, made this afternoon:
"Tho sending of the Maine to Ha
vana in cinis simply the resumption of
friendly natural relations with Spain.
It is customary for naval vessels of
friendly nations to puss in mid out of
the harbors of other countries with
which they aro at peace, and British
ami German warships have recently
visiteil Havana. This is no new move.
Tho president has intended to do it for
some time, but beretofoie something
has happened to postpone it,
"Tlio orders to tlio Maine mean
nothing more than I have said, and
there is nothing alarming or unfriendly
in them. The Spanish minister here
is fully informed of what is going on,
and, so far as I know, has not made
tlio slightest objection to it."
Further, Mr. Day said that Consul
General Lea had not sent for a warship.
This statement shows that the move
ment wus made deliberately, and that
it could not have been taken if there
wore serious apprehensions of its re
sults to Havana. The general belief
hero, however, is that in -Madrid,
rutlier than in any Cuban town, is the
trouble to bo looked for, if there
should be any misapprehension of the
purpose of our government in sending
the Maine to Havana. The temper of
the opposition newspapers in the Span
ish capital has been threatening for
some time, unci it may require the
strong hand of the news censor to re
press utterances that would lead to
rioting.
Admiral Sicard's orders were not
niado public in their text at the navy
department, but it wus stated that the
substance of them was in the statement
made by Secretary Long,
ti. .r,i,.ra !
were not directly to the Maine, for the
reason that she is now attached to the
squadron, and the naval regulations re
quire all such orders to go through the
superior officer. There is some ques
tion whether the telegram reached tho
admiral before he sailed with his
squadron Irom Key West for Tortugas
harbor. The belief is that it did not,
but this will make littlo difference in
tlio programme, inasmuch as the tele
gtam will be sent to "the admiral by
one of the torpedo-boats, or .by some
other means of conveyance. The de
tuils of the Maine's movements are be
lioveil to he left to the arrangement of
Admiral Sioard, but it iB thought that
tho ship, which put to sea with the
squadron, will return to Key West be
fore going to Havana.
The Gorman ships to which Assist
"nnt Secretary Day referred in his
statement are the Curlotto and the
Geyer, both training-ships and not of
formidable type, though one sufficed to
settle hastily the recent Huytian diffi
culty. Their torching at Havana is not
believed to have been signilicant,as their
cruise was arranged in all details last
September, and tho some ships are due
at Charleston, S. C, early in February.
UNPROFITABLE EXPERIMENT.
Bovenlceu Reindeer Killed on mi At
lantic Steamer.
New York, Jan. 20. Seventeen rein
deer were executed by hanging on the
voyage from Hamburg on the steamer
Glendon, which reached hero after a
tempestuous voyage of 14 days. Fif
teen others purvived tho trip, but one
of them has a broken kneecap, which
has beon rudely bound in splints.
Tho 15 are all that are left of a herd of
40 reindeer started from a small village
in Finland a month ago, destined for
a journey of more than 10,000 miles to
the Klondike region.
Tho reindeer are not a part of Uncle
Sara's plan for relieving the miners.
They wero purchased by an old Klon
diker, who believed there was money
in shipping reindeer there to the land
of gold as beasts of burden. They were
shipped on the Ulendon. it nas no
stalls for cattle, and the reindeer were
tied to stanchions,
Tlio Glendon left Hamburg January
7 in a gale which rolled the ship like a
barrel. Two of tho reindeer had their
necks dislocated before they vessel htu
been out three hours, and the next
day three more were killed. The fifth
day brought a gale from the west, which
Bpeedily produced five more dead rein
deer. In tho gale of last Thursday six
more were killed and the legs of three
of these were fraotured in half a dozen
plaoes.
Government Will Prosecute.

MARTIAL LAW IS PROCLAIMED
Mob Threatened to Raid the Warehouse
When Captain Kay Asserted
Ilia Authority.
Seattle, Jan. 25. The latest from
Alaska is that Captain Ray, United
States army, lias taken charge of the
stores of the Alaska Commercial Com
pany and the North American Trading
& Transportation Company, and has
proclaimed martial law in Fort Yukon,
and placed its COO inhabitants on
rations, compelling those who have
money to puy for them, and those who
have not to work for them. This step
was rendered necessary by the small
stock of supplies on hand, which, it
was feaied, would be exhausted before
tho Yukon river opened next spring.
After hiking this action, Captain Ray
sent a special messenger to Dawson
City, with a letter to the commercial
companies notifying them that be bad
taken possession of their stores. It is
slated that tho letter also asked the
commercial companies to use their in
fluence in securing legislation by con
gress giving to the soldiers in Alaska
the same civil functions as enjoyed by
tho Canadian mounted police.
The news of Captain Ray's action
reached here this morning on the
steamer City of Seattle, which brought
45 persons from Dawson City, and gold
dust and drafts estimated at $500,000.
Today's arrivals bring advices up to
December 21. They contain no other
late news of importance.
It is almost the universal expression
of those arriving today that while there
is no immediate need of a relief expe
dition, it will be very acceptable late
in the spring. All say that an expedi
tion cannot be taken in at this season,
but that it would be a wise move on
the part of the government to have it
ut the lakes ready to start when the ice
runs out. It will then reach Daw'son
in time to relievo distress that now
seems probable to occur before boats
can ascend the river.
It is stated that Captain Ray. will
ask the secretary of war for sufficient
troops to patrol the Yukon basin this
coming season, it is also stated ywsx
Major Rucker, who is at Pyea 'and
Skagway,' making preliminary arrange
ments fur the government relief expe
dition, lias reoommonded that troops
be stationed at these- two places and
along the trails to preserve order., ' '
W. M. Rank, of San Francisco, who
arrived here today from Dawson City,
which place he left December 1, gives
the following particulars of an attempt
by a mob at Fort Yukon to seize the
warehouses of the Alaska Commercial
Company and the North Amerioan
Trading & Transportation Company.
The particulars were brought t Daw
son hy Fred Gosoli, October 28. One
hundred and fifty men went to the
trading companies and demanded that
they be given a year's supplies on
oredit. They said that they would
pay them with work in the mines irr
tho Klondike noxt season. . The com
panics refused, after a-consultation
with Captain Ray. On the -following
day the mob gave notioe that unless its
demands were complied with, the ware
houses would be seized. Captain Ray,
when informed of this, hoisted ' the
United States flag over both ware
houses, and, placing Lieutenant Rich
ardson in command of one, took posses
sion of the other, and proclaimed mar
tial law. Captain Kay swore in a fores
of 35 men to aid him in protecting the
property.
A peculiar fatality occurred on the
City of Seattle on her upward trip. A
light fell from a masthead and struck
a passenger named George, of Victoria,
crushing his skull and killing him in
stantly. The commission appointed by the
miners at a recent meeting in Dawson
to go to Ottawa and ask for a modifica
tion of the mining laws, was among
the City of Seattle's passengers.
BANQUET OF FORTY-NINERS.
Number of California Pioneers Meet la
Chicago.
Chicago, Jan. 25. The 50th anni
versary of the discovery of gold in
California was celebrated today by th
Western Association . of California

DEATH IN THE FLAMES.
Sli-Htory
Lodging-House
Hpokane.
Burned at
Spokane, Jan. 20. A fire in which
the loss runs up to t400,000 worth of
property and at the very least five lives
were- lost took place tonight. The
Great Eastern block at the corner of
Post street and Riverside avenue, six
stories in height, and constructed of
brick, caught fire about 11:45 P.M.,
and iu three hours was totally demol
ished. All of the upper floors and part of
the third floor were used for lodging
purposes, and at least 150 people were
asleep in the building when the fire
started. While most of them escaped
with only their night clothes, it is
thought a number perished. What
makes the horror greater, is that no
one knows who is still imprisoned.
As the people were removed from the
burning structure qr escaped them
selves, they sought places of safety.
The last out of the upper floors report
forms lying in the hall, and women
shrieking in the flames. The origin
of the fire is sujiposed to have been in
the engine-room.
The Great Eastern block was built
.(n 1890 at a cost of $ 250,000, and was
owned by Louis Levinski, of San Fran
cisco, who carried but $50,000 insur
ance. A thrilling rescue was that of Robert
Masson, bis wife and their 2-year-old
son Irom tlie fifth floor on the Post
street bide.- From a Are escape on the
fourth floor seven feet to one side from
their window, a fireman threw them
a rope, which Masson made fast to
the bed, and came down hand over
hand, carrying his boy. Mrs. Masson
followed. As she hung suspended far
above the ground, the huge crowd
watched with breathless interest.
When she was grasped by the fireman a
shout of joy went up.
The lives know to be lost are those of
Rose Wilson, aged 18, and Rose Smith,
an invalid, aged 20, besides Mrs.
Davies,,who jumped from a fifth-story
window, and died two hours later.
Others are supposed to be in the build
ing. ANOTHER CUBAN RESOLUTION

,- - Behalf of the Patriots.
Washington, Jan. 26. In the' senate
today Walthall of Mississippi presented
the credentials of H. D. Money senator
from, Mississippi, to succeed the late

ment from the governor.

adopted by tlx; legislature of Mississippi
urging the United States government
to intervene in the Cuban warfare on

if it may be; forcibly, if it must."
The Teller resolution was then laid
before the senate, and in acoordance

port of the resolution. . ,
111 the House.
At the opening of the house today
Kleberg, Democrat, of Texas, and
Dockery, Democrat, of Missouri, called
attention to the poll of the house on
the immigration bill printed in a New
York paper today. They had been
made to favor the bill and were op
posed to it. !
Boutelle, Republican, of Maine,
chairman of the committee on naval
affairs, reported back two resolutions
calling upon the secretary of the navy
as to the suitability of sites for making
armor plate in the South, with recom
inundation that they lie on the table.
The report called attention to the fact
that invitations , had been issued for
sealed propositions for land, building
and machinery for an armor-plate fac
tory which would be opened January
29 and the secretary, when these were
opened, would send a special report to
congress with all information. The
resolution was laid on the table with
out division.
Curtis, Republican, of Iowa, then
claimed the day for business from the
District of Columbia committee.
To Examine the Yukon Delta.
Washington, Jan. 26. Professor
Pritchett, of the coast and geodetic
survey, has practically completed ar
rangements for an expedition which
will start for Alaska in the spring to
make an examination of the delta of
the Yukon river for the purpose of
locating and marking if possible a deep,
water entrance to the river.
; For the carrying out of this work and
the exploration of Copper river, con
gress has just passed a bill appropriat
ing $10,000. The bill wil be signed by
the "president within a few days, and
the jaoney will be immediately availa
ble. The expedition to be sent out is to be
a joint land and water party, and will
be under the direction of Lieutenant
Helm, who is a skillful hydrographer.

cisco in April.
Tramway Around the Rapids.
Victoria, B. C, Jan. 25. M. S.
MacConly, who has just returnod from
Alaska, has under construction a steel
tramway around the Canyon and White
Horse rapids. He is "building four
tracks, and by the time the river opens,
he says he will be able to handle 500

Bulled Alive In si Well.
Baraboo, Wis., Jan. 24. The dead
body of Albert Miller, who was buried
alive at the bottom of a 40-foot well,
Wednesday, was recovered today.
Miller's resouers worked day and
night. The imprisoned man was heard
to ask for a drink of water. But just
as the life-savers were within a few
feet of him, a second cave-in pecurred,
and from that time Miller's voioe was
hushed.
NO PLOT WIS LAID
Demonstrations at Havana
Were Spontaneous.
VOLUNTEERS ARE VINDICATED
Newspaper Attacks on Loyal Spaniard!
Caused the Outbreaks Troops
.-Are Still in Havana.
Havana, Jan. 24. Since Saturday
the rioterB have been quiet, with the
exception of a dynamite bomb exploded
in the Plaza de Colon, which did no
harm. The rumors that tiie volunteers
would revolt against the government
have had no foundation. Neverthe
less, on Saturday and Sunday several
generals arrived here from -Matanzas
province and Irom Havana province
with additional reinfocrements. About
15,000 men are now located within the
city limits and in the outskirts.
Certain persons have circulated
rumors that the volunteeers would join
in the riots, and have still further in
creased popular passion by saying that
the government -intended to disarm
them. It has also been asserted that
the volunteers would not have the bal
lot, because they are in the pay of the
government, which is not a fact, as
only buglers and a few others are paid.
The rest are merchants and clerks,
serving without government pay.
Those responsible for circulating these
rumors are interested, it is asserted, in
breeding trouble between the govern
ment and the volunteers, so as to have
the latter disarmed, and to be assured
of 84,000 men less against the insur
gents. Now that the disturbances have
quieted down, the greatest part of the
troops have returned to their respective
stations.
Among the government's supporters
the riots are explained as spontaneous
and wholly without previous arrange
ment. They are ascribed to the violent
attacks upon not only army officers,
but also upon prominent loyal Span
iards, like the Marquis of Pinar del
Rio, and Madame Eva Canel, the well
known newspaper woman. The sol
diers on the other hand blame the au
thorities for tolerating newspaper at
tacks prohibited by law. Though
without social standing, the rioters
insist upon their patriotism.
A DOUBLE MURDER
A Drink-Craxed Mechanic Shoots Hit
Wife and Motlier-in-Law.
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 24. Ed
ward Duff, 40 years old, a mechanic,
shot and killed his wife and mother-in-law,
Mary Maher, at their home here
last night, after trying to induce his
wife to live with him again. He bad
been drinking heavily. When he
culled bis wile left the house to avoid
him. He followed and shot her. Then
he returned to the house, and, going to
the room where his wife's mother was
sewing, unconscious of the tragedy,
hot her in the neck and shoulders,
killing her almost instantly.
John Reilly, who was in an adjoin
ing room, met Duff coming from tbe
sewing-room with a revolver in his
hand. He asked him what he had
Jone, and received as a reply a shot
which grazed his neck. Reilly ran and
Duff took to the street.
He passed over the body of his dead
wife as it lay on the walk. He re
loaded his revolver, and, seeing that
the crowd was gathering, walke
briskly down the street for a block,
carrying the .revolver exposed all the
time. The news of the murder spread
rapidly, and a few minutes later a pa
trol wagon with three officers rushed
up. Dutf fought like a tiger, but was
disarmed and locked up.
OHIO RIVER ON A RAMPAGE.
Unusually Heavy Rains Cause a Sudden
Flood.
Louisville, Ky., Jan. 24. Fears are
entertained here of a flood. The Ohio
is rising steadily. At 6 this morning
the danger line was but three feet off,
but by noon this distance has been de
creased by nearly 11 inches.
Much damage was done throughout
the state last night by a heavy rain and
wind storm. Thomas Cross, a drummer,
was drowned while crossing a swollen
stream near West Baden, Ind. A Bon
of a farmer named Drury, and a negro
farm hand, while riding horses across
the Cumberland river fora in Jackson
county, Tenn., were drowned. The
Methodist church near Falmouth, Ky.,
was unroofed and barns and farmhouses
in Girrard, Grayson, Henderson, Union
and Hickman counties were damaged.
The Licking, Big Sandy, Cumber
land, Green and all yieir tributaries
are booming and many are out of their
banks.
, Moving the Expedition
Seattle, Jan. 24. Arrangements
have been made to send a detachment
of the government Yukon expedition
.from this city on the steamer Signal,
which sails for Skagway about Febru
ary 5. The detachment will oonsist of
two officers, 22 men and 110 pack ani
mals. One hundred bob sleds, designed

appeal to the people for subscriptions.
General Milton Moore, of Kansas City,
will receive all subscriptions.
Spencer, Ind., Jan. 24. The total
loss by last night's fire is placed at

MOB HELD IN CHECK.
Police of Paris, With the Greatest Dif
ficulty, Preserved Order.
Paris, Jan. 25. Todday, Paris has
the appcarace if being in a state of
siege, and 4,000 police and soldiers
hold the Place de la Concord.
In anticipation of the prohibited
anti-Dreyfus demonstration today, un
der thedireotion of the organizing com
mittee appointed by the anti-Dreyfus
meeting at the Tivoh Vauxhall last
Monday night, stringent measures were
taken by the authorities to preserve
order. The Place de la Concord and
the garden of the Tnilleries were held
by detachments of cavalry and infan
try and large forces of police.
Nothing happened until 2 o'clock
this afternoon, the time announced for
the meeting to protest against the pro
Drefyus agitation in the Salle del
Milles section and in the Mont Parnesse
quarter. The approaches to the hall
were occupied by police and mounted
republican guards, while the precau
tion was taken of removing all chain
from the interior. The police refused
admission to known anarchists, but
many who were less prominent evaded
poi.ce vig iance guinea aomit a ,; n an,
created disturbances. M. fliiebaud
i i , t . L ,
was elected to the chair, aud the noise-j
ie&t disturbers of the proceedings were :
i expelled from the hall. M. Thiebaud
proposed that a wreath should be laid
on the Strasbourg statue, and the pro
posal was greeted with cries of "Vive
l'armie" and "Vive la France!"
As the disturbance continued, M.
Thiebaud got a motion adopted to close
the meeting. The wreath was then
placed in a carriage, but the police re
fused to allow the crowd to follow it in
a body, and divided it into small
grouss. In the meantime, the anar
chists tried in vain to organize a fresh
meeting. The wreath was placed on
the statue at half past 4 o'clock this
afternoon, amid perfect order.
Later in the evening the police dis
persed large bodies of anti-Jewish dem
onstrators in the Rue de la Fayette
and at the office of the Auroie, but
nothing serious occurred, and there
were few arrests during the day.
It is agreed on all sides that Satur
day's scene in the chamber of deputies
was almost without precedent, except
the recent disturbances in the Austrian
reichsrath. Curiously enough. Count
Badeni, the ex-Austrian premier, wit
nessed it. He must have felt quite at
home.
After the chamber was cleared 125
torn-off neckties were picked up, to
gether with many ooats that had bec
torn by deputies from each other's
shoulders. M. Clovis Hughes, one of
the deputies for the department ot the
Seine, had a door slammed on his fin
gers, which were so mutilated that he
is now in the hands of a sur geon.
The scene of fighting around the tri
bune was unparalleled.

TELLER'S
Senate by a Decisive Vote
Decides to Consider It. ,
t
VEST WILL PRESS TO FINAL VOTE
Exciting Dispute In the House Between
Speaker Reed and Repre
sentative Bailey.
Washington, Jan. 22. By the de
cisive vote of 41 to 25, the senate today
decided to proceed at once with. the
consideration of the resolution intro
duced a few days ago by Teller, provid
ing for the payment of bondB of the
United States in silver, at the option
of the government. The resolution
provides: ,
"That all the bonds of the United
States issued or authorized to be issued
under the said acts of congress herein
before recited, are payable, principal
and interest, at the option of the gov
ernment of the United States, in silver
doUa f he coin ,e o the United
!... 1 . , . ,a . ,!. .,i.
ri ii il
DlHiea, uuu lairing v... v.
standard silver; and that to restore to
its tender in payment of said bouds,
principal and interest, is not in viola
tion of the public faith nor in deroga
tion of the rights of the public crech
itor."
Vest, the member of the finance
committee who had charge of the reso
lution, spoke briefly upon it, but dis
claimed any desire at this time to
thresh over the old straw of financial
discussion. He believed, however,
that the time was ripe for a reitera
tion, with emphasis, of the declara
tions of the Stanley Matthews' resolu
tion, which had been placed on the
statute books 20 years ago, particularly
in view of recent statements of the
secretary of the treasury, in which.tlfe
present president, who had, as a nieirV
ber of the house, voted for the original
resolution, evidently concurred. ;Vest
announced his intention to secure. ra
final vote upon the resolution as s'otm
as one could be reached, and accentu
ated his intention by forcing the dis
placement of the census bill with the
Teller resolution as unfinished business.
Speaker Reed, from the rostrum .of
the house, and Bailey, leader of the
Democrats, from his place on the floor,
glared at each other at the elose pi the
Cuban debate today, and joined, in an
issue of veracity. This sensational
episode completely overshadoweif''tn'e
interest in the Cuban question, which
has continued, interruptedly, in the
house for three days, during the con
sideration of the diplomatic and cdn-y-sular
appropriation bill. Yesterday, '
notice was given by Williams that at
the conclusion of the debate today, a
motion would be made to recommit the
bill with instructions. Today, when
the motion was made by Bailey, it was
ruled out of order by the speaker.
Bailey thereupon startled the house' by
affirming that he had a private under
standing with the speaker by which, a
vote should be taken directly on the
motion to recommit. This the speaWer
emphatically denied, and these:. two
leaders of the respective parties in . the
house, with white faces and voices
shaking with emotion, set their state
ments against each other, .while the
galleries looked on in breathless amaze
ment, and the members were in an up
roar. . ' ,
Smith, who said he was present, cor
roborated the speaker's side of- tho-ceri-troversy.
The result of the speaker's
position was that an appeal, was . taken
fiom his deoision, and by a strict' party
vote, it was laid on the table, 168-114,
the Democrats and Populists, as on the
two previous dayB, voting aga:.st. the
solid Republicans strength. The de
bate was not as interesting as on either
of the two preceding days. The. fea
tures were a characteristic speech by
Champ Clark, a strong appeal for con
servatism by Johnson, a presentation
of the results of his observations in
Cuba during his recent, trip to , the
island by King, and an hour's speech
by Dingley, in explanation 'of ; the
causes of the reduction of the wages-in
the New England cotton industry. ,
