Burnett, organist of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church, who is to give a recital upon the, grand organ there this evening. The novelty consists of giving on the back of the programme a lirief description of the more notable pieces to be played. For instance, many people who imagine that Mendelssohn is a writer of nothing but soft, mellow lieder ohue worte and never perpetrates anything calling for the utmost powers of organ and orennist, should go and hear the sonata that is to be played this evening at St Andrew's and discover their mistake. It is like one of Bach's great fngnes of a mighty strain of note also that Marc-he- Fnne.hre et Chnut Seraphique" is ably described and will be played by Mr.

THE SPRING TRAVEL Wagsn Road To Be Built Over Skagway Trail and Steamers to Eun on Inland Waters. Lieut. -Col. Domville Tells of Wnat His Comrany Intends to do in the North. Domville, M.P., and Mra.

Domville were passengers to Victor fiom Skagway on the steamer City of Seattle, which returned1 from Alaska early on Sunday morning. Domville is the managing director for this continent of the Klomlike-Yukon-Stewart Company, whose head offices are at London, Engiid. This company will, when the tmh. begins in the spring, be in a position to carry passengers from aay point in the etviliied world direct to Dawson City. They are now building a wagon road over the SkagWny route, which will ultimately be covered by a the beach at Skagway to Iake Bennett One hundred and fifty men are now at work on this road and when the colonel left about six miles had been built and gnnhd.

In tire spring, anytime after February for he says the road will be ready by then there will be no difficulty in" getting supplies in, for wagons will run, direct to Ivttke Bennett capable of carrying as. much as 2.50O to 3,000 pounds each trip. A wharf will be built at he lake, from where four stern-wheel river steamers of a special design will run to the White Horse rapids, none a tramway will be built around the rapids, connecting with four other steam-erst, specially built to pass the Five Fingers, plying between the White Horse and Dawson City. Thus it will lie seen that the transportation problem will then be completely solved and instead of weaVily battling their way over the passes and down the lakes the miners whq goes in next year will have all the comforts of a civilized community. The main object of Lieut-Col.

Dom-ville's visit to Skagway was to ascertain the best trail to send in his supplies, as he was unwilling to send out any parties ovei any route before seeing them for himself. In Irs opinion, the bulk of those going in next spring must go over the White pass route. All are impassable save' for men with packs, but taking all thints into consideration the Skagway trail is, he says, the besf. As regards the 'shortness of the ronte, the Dyea and Skagway trails are both alike, but it is impossible to build a railway over the Dyea route, Domville not only Intends to enter the transportation business, but will go into the mining business also, and already they have acquired several good claims i While np at Skagway the colonel, bought a aack of gold from a returning miner one of the nuggets being valued, at liVS. Thuj and several other specimen nngrclw have been sent by him to the head office the-eompany in LonJ dop, England.

Another line of business in which they will enter will be to start stores at Dawson and other places for the sale of foodi and according to Domville there will be no talk of any shortage next season, for his company alone will take in enouirh provisions to supply the greater portion of the population of the interior. The wagon road his company is building from Skagway. over which the, railway will afterwards be built, will cross the Skagway river several times, and three steel bridge are now on their way north. These with several strong wooden bridces will be placed in position at once. The trail, which does not follow the route used this summer, is most favorable for a railway, for in no place is a grade of more than three per cent, met with, and in no place will a switchback be necessary.

It will follow the bed of the river most of the way. Orders for the locomotives, which will be of a special design, and for the eight river steamers, will he placed at once. 0 Green That's the color of the newMt, -nobbiest things li Fedora hati-th season.

TUE PACIFIC USERS Steamer Columbia Sails for the Orient Tacoma Coming Pelican Is Long Overdue. The Lome's Busy Week -Corona Ashore at Wrangel-Other Shipping Notes. The steamer Columbia arrived at the outer wharf yesterday evening from the on her way to the Orient heavily laden with flour aud general merchandise and bearing many celestials back to th Flowery Kingdom to spend their New Year holidays at home. She spent last night and the greater part of the day at the outer wharf loading about 100,000 ieet of lumber which is being shipped to Yokohama by the Fastings mills. About a dozen Chinese embarked here.

The steamer Pelican, another Xorthern Pacific liner, is now long overdueshe now 27 days behind time aui grave fears are being entertained for her. In the opinion of her agents and others she would not founder unless her bulkheads had been stove in by a collision, which was hardly probable.

Victoria marine men think that her ma chinery has broken down and sin is sailing to her destination in Chinu. She is provisioned for three months so that unless the after part of the vessel, where the lazarette is located, is waterlogged the passengers and crew will not sulfur from the lack of food. The Pelican is laden with about 1,500,000 feet of lumber for Tientsin, North China. The tug Lome arrived In port yesterday evening and to-day was spent in blowing uowu her built rs. The big tug has had a very busy week.

On edues-day she towed the American ship Eclipse from Port Angeles to Departure Bay to load coal for San Francisco, the day following the Fort Elgin was taken to Port Angelea from the Road aud t-n the same day the British ship Pauielia was towed to Vancouver from where the lumber laden ship Kambira was towed to sea, th? Lome returning from the tape yesterday. The steamer City of Topeka will sail to-morrow for Juneau, Sitka, Wrangel and other Alaskan ports. Among her passengers from Victoria will be T.

Reilly, of Ottawa; C. II. Osier, of Montreal; Walter Bell, S. Onderdonk, a son of the celebrated contractor, and H. Bratnoder, the agent of the Rothchilds in London.

All are booked to Juneau. The Topeka will have but little freight The steamer City of Seattle will not sail for Alaska until the 14th of December, as she is to go on the ways at Tacoma for repairs and a thorough overhauling and refitting. The steamer Farallon, according to her schedule, is to leave Skagway for this port to-day. She is due to arrive here on Friday. According to new? brought by the tteamer City of Seattle whloTT arrived from Alaskan ports early yesterday morning with ninety passengertr and Snit little freight, the steamer Corona was, when that vessel was passing Wrnngi on her way down, high and dry in Wran-ge! Narrows.

She htd seemingly been ntaiK'd by the tide and left ashore as -he tide receded. It was thought that she would be floated at high tide. The Corona was ashore at Wrangel Bay on her last trip northward. The C.P.R. bulletin notes the arrival on Saturday morning at New York of three of the large Atlantic liners.

The White Star liner Adriatic arrived frrm Liverpool, the American liner Paris arrived from Snuthnnmrnn tt. n. 1 liner Altruria arrived from Liverpool. The steamer Thistle will sail for Co-mox to-morrow with a cargo of bricks. The tug Mermaid arrived from Nnnai-mo yesterday, bringing coal.

Ol'IUOSlTY AT TILE. DOO SHOW. 1 The Kenael Club's forty-secoud exhibition of sporting dogs at the Crystal I'al-' aee had entries in round numbers of 25,000, a catalogue embracing no fewtr than fifty distinct breeds, an assembly: of little less than 1,500 Individual members 'of the cauiue family, aud a list which comprises something like 400 classes, says Hie Ixnidou Telegraph. The grenlest curiosity of the show was a modest and aged little Schipperke, exhibited, "not for competition," but because it was the only dog in the wor)d with a complete set of false teeth, A description of him saysi that the teeth have been cieverely modelled, aud the tiny creature eats in all comfort, and appears perfectly happy iu possession of his unique distinction, while he is evidently used to having his mouth opened as he endures the most intimate inspec-, tion with quiet and patience, tie is olirioudy very old, and his master, who previously achieved another feat in canine surgery by providing a dog who had lost a limb in an accident with an artificial leg which it could use, gave him this set to replace those of failing nature. A FOOL TRAIN' GL'AUD.

The guard of a recent Blackpool excursion train was surprised by a violent tugging at the communication cord ly one of the passengers. Looking out of his van he was much alarmed at sw ing a woman frantically waving her arms and an umbrella from the window of one of the carriages. It was evidtmt that something terrible had happened, and ho speedily brought I his train to a and, running up to the carriage he breathlessly Inquired why she had stopped the train. "Why didn't yer stop before now, yer1 fool?" she answered indignantly; "we've just passed two of the finest mushrooms I've seen thin many a year." Answers.
