of the most prominent citizens of Walla

after lingering illness.
Mr.. KEELING was born in Comanche
Camp, Cal, in 1868, and came to Wnlla
Walla with his parents at an early age.
He first came into public prominence
In 1888, when he was elected city clerk
and has held that position continuously
until his death. He has been prominent
ly identified with every public improve
ment and demonstration in the city and
county for 15 years, and was a man
whose sterling integrity, generosity and
capability made warm friends of every
one with whom he came In contact. He
was president of the Walla Walla Fire
Association; a member of the Odd Eel
lows, Masons and knights of Pythias,
chairman of the democratic county CEN
trail committee; a moving spirit in the
Whitman Historical Society and Pion.
eer Association. He had taken first rank

entertaining writer and his work will
be OF great value to Walla Walla and
the northwest.
The funeral will occur Tuesday and
will be one of the most largely attended
In the history of the city. Flags are
flying at half-mast today.
A peculiar situation has developed by
the death of Mr.. Keeling. He was can
didate for reelection and it is conceded
would have polled the largest vote tai
lied for him at any election. There were
originally five candidates for the posi-
ton, but all withdrew except one, Alex
ander Mckay. The election occurs to-
day and under ordinary circumstances
Mckay would have no opposition. M.
NJ. Hart. however, has filed a petition
with the proper authorities praying that
his name be allowed to go before the
voters as a candidate for the office of
city clerk. In case 1t is allowed. there
will be close race between Mckay and
Hart. Hart was one of the four men
who withdrew originally from the race.

BRAZIL AND FRANCE IN TROUBLE
Strained Relations Over the Boundary
of French Guiana.


Washington, July THE strained rela-
tions between France and Brazil over
the French Guiana boundary appears to
become more complicated daily. The SUBJ
ject is analogous to the British Venezue-
la trouble, in which the United States
has taken a hand. and in the opinion Of
officials here the French contest with Bra
I'll Is rapidly assuming an aggravated as
pect which may again call for the atten-
ton of the United States, as the Monroe
doctrine applies to one no less than to
the other. An armed conflict has occurred
in the disputed territory between French
soldiers and Brazilians. The French gov
eminent has demanded redress and the
Brazilian congress has passed a resolu-
tion couched in sharp language calling
for an explanation from Frnce. A cable
report from Brazil states that the govern
ment regards the subject as SO menacing
that strict censorship has been estab-
lished on all information regarding 1t.
The armed conflict has merely brought
to crisis the long contention over the
French Guiana territory. The fault for
the recent conflict can not be placed
French Guiana is wanted by France as a
convict colony for the deportation OF the
worst classes from the French prisons.
