FRANCE AND BRAZIL.
Trouble Between the Two Countries
Over Boundaries.

Trouble Between the Two Countries
over Boundaries.
Rio de Janeiro, Sept. 21.-Dis.
patches from Para state that French
force has landed north of Amapa and
has blockaded Counani, close to where
the fighting occurred last May. Gov
ernor Gabral, who was prominent in
the former fighting, is preparing to re-
sist the French.
The trouble in May in the frontier
district between Brazil and French
Guiana has given rise to good deal OF
bitter controversy between the two gov
ernments. The Brazilian governor ar
rested Frenchman named Trajane in
the region which is in dispute between
the two countries. The French COVER
nor of Guiana organized an expedition
to punish Governor Gabral and rescue
Trajane. The expedition, led by Cap
tain Lunier, was unsuccessful, its lead
er and four marines being killed.
The French governor, Charvein, was
recalled to San Francisco for having
organized an expedition without the
authority cf the colonial officers, and,
his successor, M. de Mothe, formerly
governor of Senegal, was sent out,
with instructions to pacify the region
by peaceful measures.
The news above looks as if he had
decided peaceful measures to to be un-
availing and was about to reopen his
predecessor controversy with Cover
nor Gabral. This region is swarming
with adventures seeking gold, and
the only appeal of differences is to mob
law.
Counani was the location of small
French settlement, and it was here
that Governor Gabral and 500 follow
ers captured Trajane, the leading colo
mist, and brought him to Amapa.

WORLDS OLDEST MINES.
Prospectors Have Gone to Inspect Those
of COrea.

Prospectors Have Gone to Inspect Those
of COrea.
San Francisco, Sept. 24.-Quite an
amount of interest has been created in
local mining circles, following upon
the departure for Corea of two noted
mining engineers, J. K. Eveleth, Of
England, and A. w. Deshler, of De-
troit. The two experts left for Japan
on the last trip of the Coptic. Both
gentlemen are on the same mission,
though they represent different syndi-
Gates 1t has been learned that they
have been sent by two wealthy syndi-
Gates to inspect and investigate the
properties situated upon the sites of
some of the most ancient mines in the
history of the world. They are in
Corea and China.
A great deal of discussion concerning
these mines has taken place in late
years and there has developed much
interest in the faraway deposits Of fab
ulous riches. This has extended to all
circles of miners and investors and
there has been great deal of specula-
tion as to the possibilities for the de-
velopment of the mines. As result
it appears that practical investiga-
tion of them is to be made.
Both Mr.. Deshler and Mr.. Eveleth
were interrogated by local mining men
before their departure, but both were
equally reticent in regard to their in
tentions, further than to admit that
their trip to Corea was in regard to the
mines. Both said they were not fully
informed as to the nature of the work
in store for them and that they would
not be until they had reached the other
side of the Pacific. They have sailed
under sealed orders, as it were.
Very little definite knowledge has
ever been secured concerning the mines
of Corea, but they are reported to be
very rich in gold. They are situated
in the wild, mountainous districts of
the Hermit kingdom, and have been
worked in primitive way only. The
rock taken out has, however, proved
to be very rich.
1t is generally believed that the king
of Corea has offered inducements to
prospectors to develop the mines on
the payment to the king of certain
percentage of the profits of the enter
prise. In fact, the supposition is that
the man behind the whole proposition
is Clarence Greathouse, formerly of
this city, who has been for some time
the adviser of the king of Corea.

BOUNDARY OF ALASKA.
Great Britain Grabbing Every Avail
able Site for Seaport.

Seattle, Sept. 24.--The statement
some time ago that the official maps
prepared by the provincial government
of British Columbia would show the
truth of every charge that has been
made in this paper that Great Britain
intended to do her utmost to grab al
most every available site for seaport,
is fully confirmed by the published
copies Of the map, of which several
have been received in this city. The
map bears the legend:
MAP of the province of British CO.
lumbia, compiled by the direction of
the Hon. q. B. Martin, chief commits
sioner of lands and works, Victoria, B.
c., 1885,"
The Canadian map shows the British
boundary claim in clearly defined
broken black line. Starting from the
south, it touches Cape Chacon, the
southernmost point of Prince of Wales
island, and runs up Benin channel,
turning easterly to a point in Bor-
ough bay; thence it runs northwesterly
along the summit of a supposed range
of mountains parallel with the general
line of the shore, but which the Amer
ican surveyors say does not exist. OPP
posite the head of Holkam bay it leaves
this mountain range to the east and
cuts across Tracy arm. Leaving the
head of that inlet in British territory,
it makes similar cut across the head
of Speel river estuary. 1t also cuts
across Taku inlet midway of its length,
leaving the mouth of the Taku river,
which is the only eligible site for
seaport, in British territory, while it
gives the United States the mountain
GUS shores toward the ocean. 1t then
cuts across to the point south of Bern
er's bay, in Lynn canal. 1t cuts across
that large inlet, then veers to the
southwark and crosses Glacier bay near
its mouth, then runs northwesterly
over the SUBMITS of the great peaks to
Mount St. Elias.
By cutting across Lynn canal, this
line gives to Great Britain Berner's
bay, where valuable gold mines are be-
ing developed by American capital,
and it leaves the Chilkoot inlet; the
Sheep Greek mines, which have recent
ly been discovered by Americans, and
Chilkoot pass, which is the only prac-
ticable route to the Yukon mines. in
British territory. 1t also gives to
Great Britain the Muir glacier, Alas
ka's greatest scenic attraction for tour
lists. Generally speaking, it claims .
for Great Britain the heads of the
three greatest inlets in Alaskan terri
tory.
The strongest denials Of Great Brit
aims claim have come from the Metla-
kahtla Indians, who some years ago
moved from Port Simpson, near the
mouth of Work channel, in British Co.
lumbia, to Annette island, for the ex-
press purpose of becoming subject to
the American government, that had
granted the island to them. This
island lies to the east Of Benin channel,
and is thus claimed by Great Britain,
while all previous definitions of the
boundary have shown it to be undis-
puted American territory.
The boundary line is drawn in con-
formity with the British Interpretation
of the treaty between Great Britain
and Russia made in 1926.

Railway Connection for GoldendaIe.
Goldendale, WASH, Sept. a.
There was grand gathering at Cen
terville citizens last evening and the
band played. The railway proposition
was fully discussed and the subsidy
was increased to about $40, 900. There
were many farmers who desired time
to consider, SO no decisive action was
taken. D. McRichards, lately from
Birmingham, Ala, who says he had a
hand in building the first road into
that Southern city, is in Goldendale
for few days, and said if the peo-
pie fail to accept Dalton & Gerlinger's g
proposition, he has proposition to
submit, which, if accepted. will assure
Goldendale railway connection within
q year.

VESSELS MUST CARRY LIGHTS
Eevenue Marine Officers Instructed to
Enforce the Laws.

revenue Marine Officers Instructed to
Enforce the Laws.
Seattle, Wash, Sept. 20.-The
United States revenue marine officers
Of the Sound have recently received or
ders to rigidly enforce the navigation
laws in regard to the carrying Of lights
on vessels, and they have caused almost
a panic among steamboatmen by re-
porting a number of violations. For
several years the law in this respect
has not been rigidly enforced, and
my, have neglected to provide the
proper lights. The consequence is that
nearly every boat on Puget sound was
found subject to fine in some particu-
lar. The revenue launch Scout has
been making careful inspection, and
has reported violations which subject
the owners of boats to fines which ag-
gregate several thousand dollars.
The navigation laws are very strict
in regard to ofenses of this kind. They
require officers of the revenue marine
to board and inspect any vessel, from a
rowboat to steamer, and to report to
the collector of customs of the district
offenses against any of the navigation
laws, with the fine to be imposed. The
collector is then ordered to notify own
ers that they must pay the fine in cash
within ten days, or the vessel will be
siezed and sold to cover it; rowboats
are subject to instant seizure. There
is no appeal from the action of the col.
lector, except to the chief of the bu-
reau and the secretary of the treausry.
Supposed to Be the Lord Downshire.
Philadelphia, Sept. 24.-It is now
generally conceded that the unknown
four-masted steel ship, with which the
British ship Prince Oscar collided July
13 last, sinking her with all hands, is
the Lord Downshire, of Belfast, which
is commanded by Captain J. @. Mo.
Murray, well-known at this port.
This ship was known to have been in
the locality of the collision at the
time, homeward bound from Caleta,
from which port she sailed in May for
Hamburg, loaded with nitrate. So
positive are the underwriters of this
city, owing to her tallying to such an
extent with the ship which Captain
Henderson, of the Prince Oscar de-
scribes, that premium from 80 to 85
guineas is now being paid for her re-
insurance. The Lord Downshire is
owned by what is known as the Irish
Shipowners' Association, of Belfast, of
which Thomas Dixon & Sons are man
aoers The Lord Downshire carried a
crew Of about forty men.

Defender and valkyrie.

London, Sept. 24.-The secretary OF
the Royal Yacht squadron writes to
the banking firm of Laycock, Goodfel-
low & Bell that he has cabled their
offer of 1000 pounds for race be-
tween Defender and Valkyrie on other
than American waters to the New York
Yacht Club, but that he fears it is too
late in the season to arrange the match.
The same firm sends to the Sports
man a check for 25 pounds as prize
for the best design for gold cup to be
given by them for a contest in 1896 in
America, England or Australia between
yachts which do not exceed ninety tons.

London, Sept. 24.-The wealthy
gentleman mentioned by the Field as
being prepared to build cutter to
challenge for the Americas cup in
1896, provided the New York Yacht
Club would consent to sail matches in
waters where the yacht could not be
interfered with, as mentioned in a dis

Be Attached,

London, Sept. 24.-The town resi-
dence of Mr.. Rose, who has challenged
the New York Yacht Club for a race
for the Americas cup, is beautiful
house on Hill street. A representative
of the press saw him tonight. Mr..
Rose is a tall, athletic-looking man,
about 40 years of age, with a bronzed
face. He was asked regarding his
challenge for the cup. 81 have sent
preliminary message to the secretary
of the New York Yacht Club, and
have also communicated with ]. Pier
pont Morgan on the subject. The for
NAL challenge will go through the
Royal Victoria Yacht Club next week,
as soon as the designer and shall have
agreed on the dimensions Of the yacht,
which is to be built, and other particu-
lars which it is necessary to incorporate
in the challenge. The yacht will be
designed by Soper, and it will be built
at Fay's yard in Southampton. I can
give no further particulars, as really
they are not settled yet"
"Shall you make it condition that
the races for the Americas cup must
be held elsewhere than in the vicinity
of New York?' was asked.
Certainly not" answered Mr..
Rose. 81 shall make no conditions,
though, of course, I am most anxious
that the races shall be held with no
chance of interference. and I have no
doubt that the committee will feel the
same way"
sit was feared" observed the inter-
viewer, THAT the recent fasco would
prevent any Englishman from challeng-
ing again."
"Oh, no." said Mr.. Rose; "the
affair is regretted on both sides. A
certain amount of friction is insep-
arabic from all international sporting
events, but that will not deter us from
trying again."

ready made garments are prepared and
where thousands of women, men and
young girls and lads are employed. Here
the fancy silk waists, the tea gowns,
cloaks and oapes are made, and the num-
bers and kinds leave confusion in the

terms are diverse and certainly beautiful,
and the tagging taste is always stimulat-
cd with something new. 1t is not possible
to describe all the orepons, but l will
mention two or three new ones. There Is
one crinkle called the lizard another done
in the alligator markings and another in
ohrysanthemum weave. This kind Is
shown only in dark, rich colors, such as
brown, blue and a purplish terra Gotta
The weave is such that 1t looks like the
petals Of large double chrysanthemum
and is certainly most beautiful in the
piece This and the other fine varieties
are all silk, though there is plenty Of cot
ton and wooden crepon.
Naturally no one expects to trim the
skirts TO such gowns. The soft and deli
cate chiffons and silk muslins are shown
in all the same colors and are well adapt
cd for trimmings. Many Of the chiffons
are perforated and embroidered so that
they give beautiful finish. Ono way that
noticed of using these was to have sort
of basque drapery Of chiffon to match
the gown, and ON the shoulders full jabot
bretelles, reaching, however, only to the
bust. The crepon skirts are usually made
to fall in straight and soft lines though
sometimes we will see stiff outstanding

chief beauty of tho crepon Is its artistic
lines.
