A Bold Attempt to Seize the
Deep Sea Navigation
Terminal.
THE KEY TO THE GOLD FIELDS.
American Vessels to Be Supplanted by
Those of Great Britain in
Northern Trade.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10.-Hon.
Arthur K. Delaney of Alaska, who was Col
lector of the Port of Sitka during Cleve-
lands first administration, and who was
appointed Judge of the United States Court
of Claims of Alaska, arrived in the city
yesterday. His mission here is to inform
the administration regarding the Alaska
boundard dispute, and to urge the neces-
sity of action on the part of the United
States in opposing British aggressions
The whole matter has been placed before
Attorney. General Harmon and Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin. The
latter has been to Alaska and is familiar
with the situation. These gentlemen will
place the matter before the State Depart
ment after more Investigations have been
made.
In speaking of the surveys made by the
British corps of engineers and the inten-
ton of the British Government to make
the southeast boundary to the westward,
thereby acquiring large area of tertiary,
Mr.. Delaney said to The CALL CORE
spondent:
"The proposed new boundary line
swerves when it reaches Mount Windham
to the west. The reason of this change in
the line is obvious, for as it runs England
acquires the end of the inland passage
By cutting off this nice slice of territory
England would get the terminal of deep
sea navigation, Pyramid harbor, Chilkat
and the beginning of the Yukon trail,
which would give her vast hold over the
Yukon Valley, which for some reason,
probably modesty, she does not try to get
from US.
"If successful in her claims it is obvious
that England will control the key to a
large proportion of the most valuable ter
ritory of the United States In acquiring
an entrance to Chilkat Pass and trail Eng
land would control the most easily accessi.
BILE route to the gold fields. the other route
being by Bering Sea and entering the
Yukon River at it's mouth, and ascending
it, which would involve journey of $500
miles to Forly-mile Creek and Circle City,
the present mining camps in the Yukon
basin.
aside from this England wonld establish
trading post and custom house at Pyra-
mid harbor for the Yukon trade. She
would also supplant with English vessels
the vast commerce now being carried on
by US. As a consequence the United
States would lose the extensive trade it
now has with that section, as we'll as the
transportation carried on in American
vessels"
Mr.. Delaney said there was every reason
to believe that the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road and the Canadian Pacific Navigation
Company, under Commodore John Irving,
M. p, were In the scheme and Its real
hackers.

The New York Yacht Club to
Investigate the Briton'S
Accusations.
READY TO BACK HIS WORDS
The American Will Pass the Lie When
His Lordship Crosses
His Path.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 1O.-It was
stated tonight that c. Oliver Iselin will
ask the New York Yacht Club tomorrow
to take action on the charges that Lord
Dunraven makes that the ballast of the
Defender was tampered with at Erie basin
IN order to secure advantages in time al
lowance.
Lord Dunraven may rest assured. II
SAID Mr. Iselln, that his outrageous
accusations will be thoroughly investi-
gated. l am not accustomed to being
placed in the light of thief, which is the
inference of Lord Dunraven's words.
Either he is telling an untruth in this
matter or am, and 1 shall demand that
the New York Yacht Club find out which
of US is. After the New York Yacht Club
has announced its decision I shall demand
that 1t take action personally with Lord
Dunraven to express the opinion of the
members of his conduct.
81 cannot tell just what course the club
will take, but presume that the investiga-
tion will be in the form of regular court
of inquiry, and that the witnesses will be
summoned from the crews of the Defender
and the Hattie Palmer. Some of the Val
kyrie's crew will be summoned, probably,
If they can be found. Lord Dunraven
must substantiate his accusations or take
the consequences.
"The assertion that the load water line
was lowered four inches by putting in
ballast is preposterous on the face of it.
Approximately it would require fourteen
to fifteen tons of lead to do this. Now,
does Lord Dunraven or any one else i'm
agine that this weight of ballast could be
taken on drays and put aboard the De-
fender in the night without creating a sem
sation in Erie basin? More persons than
the crew of the Valkyrie would of necessity
become aware of such a transaction.
FSI trust that Lord Dunraven will send
tke person or persons who saw the ballast
put aboard to the inquiry. Their testimony
would be highly valuable
when you characterize such accusa-
tions as Lord Dunraven's as those OF a liar
and blackguard, that implies challenge
to q duel, does it not, Mr.. Iselin ?" was
asked.
YES" was the decided answer, land 1
am fully prepared to sustain all have
said"
Have you consulted with either Mr..
Morgan or Mr.. Vanderbilt about this mat
tel ?''
mo, 1 have consulted no one. The
charges are directed against me personally,
as 1 consider, and L deem myself justified
in acting for myself in this affair."
"ShalI you demand an apology of Lord
Dunraven in your private capacity, ire
spective of your relations to the New York
Yacht Club?"
"As to that, must decline to ans wer,
further than I stand ready to make good
everything which I have uttered
Would you tell Lord Dunraven that ac-
cusations such as mis- were those of liar
and blackguard were he to be present at
the inquiry"
''I most assuredly would"
Have you heard from Maitland Kersey
concerning these charges?'
mo, l have heard nothing from Lord
Dunraven's representative in America"

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 10.-A dispatch to
a morning paper brings the following in
tellIgence of the present state of affairs in
Cuba. The dispatch, which is dated Ha-
vana, November 9, says:
The rebellion in Cuba has now reached
that period where the result may be said
to remain in the balance, and with the ex-
odus of November the question whether
the despotic Spanish rule is going to grind
down the Cubans with harder heel than
ever, or whether the time has at last
reached its full, ripe stage and Cuba is to
take her place among the Governments of
the world will be definitely decided.
That the state of affairs is very serious
indeed cannot be doubted. Trade in such
cities as Matannas, Santiago de Cuba and
Cienfuegos Is at a standstill, while in
Havana itself, removed comparatively
quite distance, as it were, from the strife,
the business situation is so seriously
affected that the depression in all circles OF
commerce is most marked.
The struggling patriots are now turning
their eyes with longing gIances at the
United States, hoping constantly, but
seemingly hopelessly, that their beligerent
rights will be recognized; and, strange as
it may seem, General Martinez Campos
pretends that he desires the consummation
of that one fond hope of the Cuban patri-
OTIS. When seen and asked whether he
thought the United States Government
would do so he said:
81 have no doubt but that the United
States Government will recognize the So
called Cuban Republic whenever the au-
thorities at Washington believe it, in their
best judgment, the policy of their Govern
ment to do so. When that will be can
not pretend to prophecy"
In regard to this policy of showing leni-
ency toward the insurgents and trying pa
cific measures, which has been rather
severely criticized not only by the Spanish
home Government but even by those in
power in Havana, General Campos said:
II know that the feeling against this
policy In some quarters is very strong, but
shall not take such expressions of feeling,
unless they take the form of command
from my superiors, to have any influence
on my actions. / think that the one
and only practical way in which we can
hope for success and a happy adjustment
OF the war. In addition to its being a
polite method it is the only humane one.
Many insurgents are willing to lay
down their arms, announce allegiance to
Spain and receive immunity, and if any,
thing will tend to end the war this policy

ADRiFT ON A WRECK.
The Starving Crew of the Schooner Fran
cis Picked UP by a Pass
inc Vessel

BALTIMORE, ND, Nov. 10.-A ship
wrecked crew and the captains wife were
brought here to-day. For an entire week
the woman and seven men were threatened
with death, and when rescued were more
dead than alive, as the result of exposure
and lack of nourishment. A few partly
decayed potatoes was the only food OF
which the party partook for seven days,
and during that period there was no water
to drink To add to the misery of their
position, the shipwrecked party was con-
stantly menaced by death from drowning g
during those long days and longer nights.
The schooner Francis of st. Johns, n.
B., left Jacksonville for Demarara with
lumber October 13. On board were Captain
John 81. Gesner and wife, Chief Officer
James A. Mcdonald, and Seamen Harry
Davis, Richard DelmoIe, Richard Coyler,
George II. Orman and John Bree. On Oc-
tober q strong gale and heavy seas were
encountered. Late at hight some of the
deckload was washed away and the balance
was thrown overheard.
At4 o'clock the following morning the
wind suddenly shifted, throwing the YES
sci on end and leaving her IN an almost
perpendicular position until the rigging
could be cut away. Heavy seas continued
to wash the decks, making it necessary for
the crew to lash themselves to stationary
objects.
For three days no vessel was sighted.
Then a ray of hope came to the ship
wrecked party in the shape OF two vessels,
but hope soon died out as they passed by
without being attracted by the distress
signals. During the next four days the
dropping spirits and fast failing strength
of Mrs Gesner and the seven men were
occasionally revived by the sight OF a
passing vessel.
None of them saw the unfortunates,
however, until early Tuesday morning,
October %, when the Norwegian bark
Enterprise, Captain Paulsen, from Mobile
for Havre, fourteen days out, sighted the
wreck In latitude 258 north, longitude

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Nov. 10.-The police

of the ship-scuttling practices which are
now under investigation, but they are pre-

warning of those implicated.
The cruiser Fiona is being made ready

suspects from max ing their escape by out

that if the cases are really as bad as is
represented the offenders will receive ex-
emplary punishment.

IL Regard to uarrnMs

The Colorado Field and Farm says
on the subject Of harrowS: 1t has been
found that the rolling cutters, especial
" those termed cutaway harrows move
the soil deepest and loosen il most, and
the cutaway harrows draw the easiest
of the class that penetrates deeply The
spring tOOthed harrOws draw moderately
fine 70 an average degree and till TO an
average depth, but leave the soil with
an uneven bottom and more compact
than the cutaway, while on newly
plowed prairie grass they tear up the
sod For tho cultivation Of corn they
are very good implements serving we'll
the functions required in tillage of
crops. The square toothcd and the
smoothing harrows are superficial in
their action on plowed ground, run easy,
but compress the soil more than any
other class and are thereforA better
adapted TO loose soils and for putting
III seeds than TO do the tillage work IF
soil fitting for crops When depth Of
cutting, ease Of draft, evenness OF bot
tom or of the top Of the unstirrcd soil
and lOUscncSS of soil are considered, the
