what Was Accomplished mt the Recent
International Conference.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-One OF the
questicns 5ettled by the recent confer
ence between the Canadian commission
ers and Secretary Blaine and Gen. Foster,
representing the United States, was in
regard TO the establishment of boundary
line in Alaska and British Columbia.
Preliminary surveys have already been
made by the United States coast survey,
bat hitherto no joint action has been
taken.
The decision reached at the conference
was for Joint or international prosecu-
tion OF the work already begun by the
United States. A question has arisen re-
specting the proper boundary along the
Atlantic coast growing out of difference
OF Interpretation of the treaty provisions
on that point, but il is expected that the
survey will furnish all the information
necessary to reach an adjustment of the
differences.
AT the conference an agreement was
also reached for more definite marking
OF the water boundaries in front of and
adjacent to the city Of Eastport, Me,
with a view 10 avoiding any further
trouble on the subject Of the fishing rights
of Canada and the United States in that
locality.

Capt. Conner was I" hale fellow" IL
ever there was one. Every man was his
friend and he was the friend of every
man. II he had been as good TO himself
as he was to hundreds OF his boon com
panions he might still be alive and i'm the
full enjoyment of the good things OF life,
OF which he once possessed bounteous
share. He was n man who could charm
money to his purse just as easily as he
charmed friends to his side 10 borrow it
from him.
AS journalist, author, turfman, theatri-
cal manager and hotel proprietor, he was
always what would be called very success
full. He did nothing badly. II would not
be much of an exaggeration, il any, how
ever, TO say that his greatest fault was
his unwillingness to disoblige anybody.
He was a man who could say no, but
didn't wish 20. He was convivial to a de-
gree that finally sapped his health, but it
seemed as IL he were willing even to wreck
his constitution rather than not TO share
in the pleasures OF the men who fiocked
around him. 1t wasn't selhshness in him,
nor appetite exactly; he simply would
and did do just rs his army of friends
chose that he should do.

THE LATE CAPT. w. VI. CONNER
Journalist, Turfman, Theatrical Man.
nger and Hotel Proprietor.

Journalist, Turfman, Theatrical Man.
ager and Hotel Proprietor.
Capt. William NJ. Conner, until recently
the proprietor of the st. James Hotel, died
February II in hospital in st. Louis.
He was tifty-two years old. He was born
in st. Louis of Irish parents. He had a
common school education. When he was
a young man the Mississippi River was
regarded with the reverence with which
the boy of to-day regards the sea. The
ambition of the average western boy was
to Z" go to sea" on the Mississippi. Con-
ner had that ambition, aiki he got a place
as clerk on one of the passenger boats
which ran to New Orleans. That town
was thought by travellers to be the liveli-
est place on earth. Conner thought SO
and he left his boat one day and took up
his residence in the city. He prospered
in business there and made a good deal
of money from race tracks.
When the war broke out he joined n
snap Confederate company and went to
the front. The regiment disbanded before
it got into a real fight. Conner retired
from the service with the title of cap
tain. After New Orleans was captured
the captain accepted a place as reporter
ol hbc Il iCdy uHts ne NIotc dDoub spoIt-
ing matters. While connected with the
Picayune staff, he became the Southern
correspondent OF the Spirit of the Times.
When Capt. Conner first came to New
York he was a sporting editor OF one Of
the newspapers. He got back to New Or
leans in time, and while connected with
the race track he speculated in cotton,
and made in few years more than $780,
600. This he lost in speculation.
He was starting horses at race tracks
when he met Lawrence Barrett and went
into partnership with him. For long
time he was Barrett's manager, and an
other fortune was amassed. He spent the
summer still in starting horses, and made
a good deal Of money at the tracks.
Finally he quilted Barrett and took
charge of Mccullough, whose success up
TO that time had been indifferent. In a
very short time the captain, by judicious
management, made his new venture very
profitable. The last years he managed Nc
Cullough, it is said, he made $50, 900 year.
He came to New York in 1883 and took
hold of the st. James Hotel. He made
that a great sporting resort, and it was in
a short time the most popular hotel Of
the kind in the country. He kept pos
session of the hotel until last summer,
when he went to Hot Springs for his
health. He was in financial difficulties
before he went away, and a few months
ago his creditors got after him and got
possession of the hotel. Mrs. Conner,
who still lived at the place, was prac-
tically elected.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.- Secretary Rusk
in answer TO Senate resolution commu-

the special agent of the Department of
Agriculture upon the experiments in the
production of rainfall.
Gen. r. G. Dyrenforth who was in
charge OF the experiments, in summing up
their results, says: ''The few expert
ments which have been made do not fur
nish sufficient data from which 10 form
definite conclusions or evidence upon

of the artificial production or increase of
rainfall by conclusion.
Experiments extending over a period Of
only few months can scarcely be suhl-
cient. 1t is only by large number Of
tests with accurate noting OF conditions
and occurrences that definite conclusion
can be reached as to whether or not rain
fall will be induced by explosions and
whether such production of rainfall can
be reduced to an art, so as to effect pre-
cipitation at a predetermined place.
What has been done SO far is altogether
preliminary, but with the benefit of the
experience gained i hope that the subject
will be pursued.
