Adolph Kiockmann was _ recalled and stated thal since July the Inter- national had been a joint stock com- pany of which Louis Blue was the president, and the other officers were: Vice-president D. Thomas, directors, R. Gregor, J. Wright, A. Klockmann and Edward Baillie. “Mr. MacNeill asked whether the «tecision made before held good, as to the production of the books of the International, and when in-+ formed tivit it did, announced that he had no further q testions to ask. Wiile waiting for Daniel Leahy who had been subpoenaed, Mr. Klockmuin returned and said that there was no objection to letting Mr. MacNeill look through and e:.- amine his books or the books ot the , International, and (o allow the com mission to do the same, but he was not willing to produce them in open court. This was not satisfactory to the prosecution and Mr. MacNeill announced that the only way was to produce the books in open court. Then it was another case of wait. Officer McPhee was out hunting Leahy and the crowd was getiing|? larger and more_impatient .as ‘the time went on.

He vas engaged to obtain information with reference to loose. characters othe city. He knew Mah Hun iz had come to the jail to see hia’ .out another Chinese, who had sven arrested in Trail, Mah Hung} std never paid him any money. At time Mah Hung had offered to: ve him $45 as a license for gamb- ting, and he had said that the chief and judge were away aid that he! had better take the money to the police offices. He thought the mat-| ter was a catch at the time. Some, time ago the then mayor, Mr. Wal!-+ iace, had ordered raids made in Chinatown and the Chinese arrest- ed. The Chinese were not fond. offi him, because he had been inthe habit of going through the houses ‘UNEXCELLED TABLE. Joun Haverty, Proprietor. ‘with the negro because he had told so as to be in a position to let the: other members of the force know ; where they could find the gambling rooms. The Chinese were hostile him on this account. On the day atier the chief returned from Hal- cyon he had informed him of the matter, andl just then Mah Hung passed the door andl Chief Ingram asked him if he had ever paid the witness any money, and he said he had not, but had offered him some. He knew Woh Hung, the big Chinaman, who used ic cook at the Kootenay, but Woh Hung had never offered, much less paid him, any money. He had never -been of- (ered or paid any money by any Chinese other than Mah Hong Some days after the offer of money by Mah Hung, the Chinaman had said that he had returned the money ta the other Chinese because he (Mitchell) would not give a receip!. He remembered the trouble at j the Colum:ia hotel, and he had been called in at the time and had insis- ted on the money heing paid to the| negro. lie knew nothing of the Colorado Bill incident, and hid never heard of the mutter uatil it was brought out in the investiga- ion; The settlement was made tie mun to come down to the police court and make a compluint, ana Frank at once paid. up. Lam had never offered or paid him any mon- ey. Mitchell said he had been in one of the nouses on the ‘trow” aitend- ing to his duties as an officer, but in no other way. With regard to! the charge made bv Bellé Burns, iv wer notirue. He had been quite olten at the place meu‘ioned by ne! Burns woman.

He admitted..the sey, but bad proper authority for it. As tar as the charges made thut he and the chief had convived to make money illegally, there was no truth whatever. To Mr. MacNeill, he said ine bad resigned some time ago, tut had mate up his mind in April te quit the job, and had told the chief so in May. He had known the chief -since 1882. He knew hirz in the Northwest Territories and ere. He had resided in British Columbia on and off during the pust 15 or 16; years. He had been in the cattle | business. He had gone by name of John Logan in British Co- lumbia and Washington. He had ibeeu in some trouble in the North-+ ‘west Territories. He had been charged with a serious offence, had livea in the same plice 7 years after. iie had never any army. ‘he whole question of the China-js nan in Trail was gone through and ; Mitchell said Mah Hong had come up about fur ‘times in connectio.)} with this Chinaman.

Eyre Clot- worihy, who was a civil engineer forthe Canadian Pacific raiiway, aud one who has had unique ex- periences. x On che 28th of October, 1897, he sailed from Liverpool for Montreal on board the Dominion Line steamer Labrodor with the intention of ex- ploring the route to the Yukon via ive Mackenwie river. The party cf imelve of which he was a member and he leader, considered that the roure down the Macken-ie. ». ould be vastly more ez: and shorter than that by St. Michaels ari up the Yukon. The project teooked feasivl ere were'a number of other ved in the route. Yesterday, to a reporter, of the Recorp, he said, that he was com- pletely d oned about the prac-. ticability of the route. Its) worth could readily be summed up, in the satement that mcney could not hire him to undertake it today. There was.a lony s'a.e travel from Edmonton to Athabasca Landing, about one hundred miles, and when that was reached another hundred miles on the Mackenzie river brought them to rapids extending ‘fora stretch of seventy-five miles. Through this pari o the Efudson’s . bay been in the habit cf supplies and sengling: tt enciosed in floating ‘anged that if they they would bound away witt.~ jury. In fact, they v iue current and = gener a sefely below. But men w ho hac to go down were ia imminent danger in abcat. After these rapid passed another streic water for about a he brought them to a serie: that had to be treked oxteams. Afier such experiences, “ty ese caped with their would find themselves in salt water within the Arctic circle. Soon alter reaching the salt water the mouth of the Peily river is reached amd the ascent of that steam is as difficult and dangerous as the descent of the Mackenzie. From there on to'the Yukon is al- most impassable wilderness which is valuable to trappers but to no on: else. The Hvdson’s Bay company has forts along the Mackenzie river, which are also trading posts and fcom the pelts and furs they gather at these posts comes the grreat reve- nue2 of the corporaticn. No one is veouraged to come imo the coun- iry, but instead every obsvacle is thrown in their way by the factors a. the posts. The company wishes o control it entirely. Clotworthy did not think the ‘y would ever be of any value, and sua that all reports of rich tkes of ore on the Mackenzie were puvely fables, for he had ex- arrired them himself. Tiere was i quite astretch of valuavie agricul- tura} land in the Peace River coun- vy that would eventuaily be opened up and be valuable, but it would be opened up from Edmonton. He considered the project for running another tran yental line of railway north of the ~ - dian Pacific was absurd. There was nothing to support it and he 1 that, trom his long: work on r: miles of falls und with ion of surveys and construciion worl.
