CANADIAN JOHN AGAIN
Assumes to Run Matters to Suit
Himself at Forty mile Creek.

NEW YORK, Oct. ga special
to the World from Washington
says: The Alaskan boundary line
question will be forced to a speedy
determination by the action Of
Cansds, il not by some diplomatic
move On the part Of Secretary of
State Olney. 1t is announced that
the Dominion government intends
to direct the mounted police to
assume control of the whole from
tier along the Canadian boundary
OF Alaska, with power to collect
customs duties and to hold court
martials to try criminal cases.
The American and Canadian
boundary lines are in conflict
as to seven and three.t tenth miles
OF territory along the Yukon river
on the east and west line. The
territory embraces the mouth of
Forty-mile creek through which
access is had to the valuable placer
mines at the headwaters of that
stream. The Canadian police, in
carrying out their instructions,
will doubtless assume jurisdiction
upon the line of the Canadian sur
vey, and several thousand Ameri-
can miners who will be in that
region shortly will be subject to
their authority.
Secretary Olney, it is thought,
In view of the more or less serious
character of the situation, will
make some effort to bring up the
dispute at the Behring Sea conven-
ton next week.
In case Of trouble along the from.
tier in the Yukon mining region,
the United States district at Sitka
has the authority to employ dep.
uty marshals to preserve law and
order, but it would take several
months for the news OF the district
to reach him at Sitka and for his
orders to be carried into effect
Officials Of the department OF JUS
tice say that he would not have
the power to place men along the
line for police duty or for any Other
purpose except on special occasions
such as riot.
1t is understood that a bill will
be introduced in congress thi:
winter to provide Alaska with q
more perfect form OF government

Strauber, a tailor, shot and fatally
wounded p. l.. Farrell, whom he
detected breaking into his place of

commanded him to remain still,
Instead of obeying, Farrell pushed
through the window and Strauber
fired three times. One bullet
struck Farrell in the shoulder and
the other entered the region OF fhe
spine. Farrell was taken to hos
pital where it is said he would die.
He told the police he attempted to

lators by the citizens of Montreal

finish on Broadway.

WAS 1T A MURDERP
Bloody Work in Room With Two
Strange Men as Actors.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-A week ago
two men, whose names are I'M
known, engaged a room Of w. E.
Allen, Of 81 Pine street. Several
times during the time they occu-
pied the room they were heard
quarreling. Between Saturday
night and Sunday morning the
room was vacated, and all that now
remains to indicate that it was &C.
cupied are several large pools OF
blood and the bloodstained walls
and furniture. A peculiar feature
is that towels which were left in
the room for the use OF the men
have disappeared as mysteriously
and as completely as the men
themselves. While it seems hardly
possible thai a man could lose so
much blood and still live, the po-
lice express the opinion that no
murder was committed, and say
they do not believe a body could
be taken from the building without
some one knowing it. Neverthe-
less a half dozen detectives are
working on the case and it is an
nounced that the search will not
be given up until one or both OF
the men who occupied the room
have been found and made to ex-
plain how it came to be SO stained
with blood,

m.nur. For SANDY soil.

There are two defects in sandy soil
which require manures to remedy. One
is lack Of vegetable matter, because as
sandy soil does not hold water 1t is al
ways warm, and whatever vegetable
matter it may have is quickly decom-
posed Green manure is the best, as it
Is the quickest remedy for this. But
there are many places where the best
kinds Of plants 10 plow under for green
manure will not grow. This is owing to
lack Of mineral plant food, chiefly lime
and potash. Wood ashes contain both.
and they ought always to be used iber-
ally on sandy land. The potash helps to
relieve the dryness Of sandy soil It
will dissolve the sandy PARTICLES, max
ing a true soil Of them. and thus retard.
ing too rapid filtration through It.
II clover will not grow, at first sow
rye or some other large grain, and plow
the first crop under. This Will make
humus in the soil. and that will secure
a clover catch. So soon as clover can be
made to grow there will be no further
trouble We would not advise plowing
under the clover at first. Cut it and feed
it to stock. Save all the manure made
from 1t and apply it to growing more
clover. When grain can be top dressed,
there will bo no difficulty in getting
catch Of clover or grass, however poor
the soil may originally have been All
applications Of manure on sandy soil
should DO on the surface. Tho manure
will leach down fast enough without
being plowed under American Oulti-
ynfuR.

France,s Mission Among Nations.

The true mission of France among
the nations is high enough if she
would but see it. She should lead
the world in the arts of peace. We
remember Renan expressing it once
in conversation in those rooms of
his in tho College de France.
"Strange," he said, chow we French
wish to shine in wars and foreign
adventures, while. in truth, we love
the ideals of peace. Our true work
is in the advancement of the arts
and letters and science If I were
asked to tell the difference between
Frenchmen and other nations, /
should say it consisted chiefly in this
that with us to be impolite and
unlettered is reproaoh; that we,
more than other people, cherish a
human ideal" Surely, too, this is
what Heine meant whom he spoke of
the French as tho chosen people and
of Germany as Philistia. Saturday

"Such a shower of lead as that with
which the Turks hail our troops has
never before been employed as a
mode of warfare by any European
army" It was more instinct, ex-
perienoe, silent consent and confi-
dence in their weapons than training

the Turkish foot soldiers to adopt
this mode of fighting. I had wit

DoRs and MatrimouY.

Wonderful tales have been told Of
the marvellous instructive intelli-
gence Of dogs, but the idea Of con-
sulting canine oracle when a man
is contemplating matrimony is o
new one. A French writer, how
ever, says that before committing
himself a man should note carefully
how she whom he loves conducts
herself toward her parents and
friends, and, above all, how she
treats ordinary domestic animals.
Beware of aperson whom children
and dogs dislike. he says. dogs
may be our interiors, but their in
stincts rarely deceive them, and a
pronounced antipathy on their part
may well be considered as danger
signal. No compassion should be
felt for him who marries a girl
whom dogs snarl at and dislike, for
he has had fair warning of domestic
storms. New York Advertiser.
