Sensational Prediction Of an Important
international Dispute Between John
Bull and Uncle Sam.

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. 1.-THE Alaskan
News, published at Juneau City, makes the
sensational prediction that Takou Inlet
and the head of Lynn Canal will become
famous the world over as affording grounds
for fierce international dispute between
Johnny Bull and Uncle Sam and a cause
of arbitration by the European powers to
determine which country shall hold pos
session of it according to the provisions OF
the Russian treaty and the subsequent
purchase of Alaska by the United States.
Each nation" says the Alaskan News,
''holds fast to a different construction of
the Russian treaty; England maintaining
that the boundary line does not follow up
and around the deep inlets and bays, as
held by the United States, but follows the
general coast line ten marine leagues in
the interior from salt water.
"Great Britain sees flaw in the treaty,
and, with her usual aggressiveness, will
endeavor to wrest from the Government at
Washington City the harbors and inlets
about Juneau, so that British seaport
will hold the portal to the Yukon country
and the undeveloped northwest territory
THE good results following to the COM
merce OF England's provinces by reason of
a seaport is too important to be overlooked
by England's aggressive policy.
"Wil Uncle Sam, under Gresham's
foreign policy, lose valuable possessions in
Southwestern Alaska? Since Japan is
coming to the front as commercial power,
England has her tentacles upon Alaska, to
snatch, a seaport for her navy and COM
merce laden ships

GOLD FIELDS BOOMING.

australia.
VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. IA. - Advices
from Australia received to-day show that
the Coolgardie gold fields in desolate West
ern Australia are at the height of their
boom. No less than 120 companies have
been foated in London, and 1000 leases
have been filed by Australians. There is
craze over stocks and prices are asked
which only phenomenal returns can JUS
tify. 1t is rich mans camp, and the
poor prospector, unless he was ON the field
early, stands small show. Despite the fact
that camel trains are regularly run across
the desert, the supply of drinking water is
utterly inadequate, and boring for artesian
water has not been successful Many pros
pectors have persisted on the desert, and
even in Coolgardie itself many deaths have
occurred from thirst. The mercury at this
season rises to 120 in the shade and the
heat is made more fierce by the absence of
trees. The condition of the camp is so
alarming that the Government will prob
ably be called on to check the rush OF gold
seekers until the water supply can be in
creased.

CURED the men TO work eleven hours and
even twelve hours, with no interval longer
than ten minutes for lunch, and even de-
priving them of that brief time in most in
stances. The wage rate agreed upon one
year ago was 81 for a statutory days work.
The companies, it is alleged, have made no
allowance for overtime. the men de-
mand adherence to the law, or 81 . for a
day of twelve hours.
An address issued by the Executive
Committee of District Assembly No. rs
alleges that the trouble was precipitated by
the Brooklyn Heights Company in exclud-
ing electric workers from work. The state
ment says the fragrant violation of the ten
hour law has mentally and physically in
capacitated the men for their work. All
the companies run trippers, SO the men can
make only from 10 to so cents day.
While the corporations are not allowed by
law to run at high rate of speed over ten
miles an hour, the schedules are arranged
so the cars have to run at speed of fifteen
to twenty miles an hour. In consequence,
nearly one hundred fatal accidents have
occurred since the trolley was introduced,
and the countless injuries to passengers
are all caused by the greed of the corpora
tons.
During the forenoon a mail car for the
Flatbush-avenue line left the Flatbush
depot for the purpose of getting the mail
at the Postoffice. On it were Sergeant
Zimmerman and two policemen. About

TO throw planks across the tracks. The
police removed the distractions, and the
car had proceeded about two blocks further
when a farmers wagon was placed across
the tracks; men jumping into the wagon
and defying the police to move them. A
squad of police finally routed the strikers.
About noon nearly one hundred women
in sympathy with the strikers undertook
to obstruct travel on the Third-avenue line
by piling ash barrels and other obstruc-
tons on the tracks, but were driven away
by the police. President Slocum has
agreed to partially meet the demands
of the men on the Jay and Smith-street
line and at present that IS the only one in
the city in operation. The agreement is
to the effect that the company will grant
the men a renewal of last years agreement
of 81 day.
Last year six "trippers" were employed
on the line, and the men this time de-
manded that none be put on. The presi-
dent would not agree to this but insisted
on having at least two, one of them to be
paid 81 and the other 81 80. The strikers
finally agreed to this proposition.
Peter Butcher, motorman, has been
arrested on charge of obstructing a car.
He threw a heavy girder in front of a
United States mailcar of the Flatbush line.
The car was stopped, but went on to Flat
bush later. He was held in 5000 bail for
examination, and may have to answer to
the United States authorities for interior
ing with the mail.

WOODLAND, Jan. IA special to the
Democrat from Knights Landing says:
Lee Coleman has been arrested on charge
of criminal assault. The complaint is
sworn to by Miss Bird Elliott, who alleges
that the assault occurred Friday evening
while she was walking with Coleman on
the Suffer side of the river. Coleman is
25 years old and Miss Elliott is 16. The
case was called in the Justices Court this
morning, but was postponed on account of

IN MY LADY'S DESK.
Pen Trays and Paper Holders Come In
Charming Combination.

Charming Combination.
The very latest addition to my lady's
desk is pen tray and wiper holder in
one. The handsome specimens are of
silver, embossed or plain, and are de-
signed to accompany other parapher-
MALTA of the same material. However,
others are shown, and generous va
riety in all the finer sorts of china can
be found, so that every taste can be
gratitied.
In all the general characteristics are
the same, and economy of space is con-
sidered as well as beauty. The tray
proper is simple. At one end is a small
candlestick which is supported on
graceful standard, and in the socket is
a wax taper. The tray is quite big
enough to hold the wax seal, as well as
the pens, and the one object so keeps
the entire equipment intact. The
price is too varied to quote. Silver has
always its own value, and Dresden
china as well as Sevres has a recognized
worth, but there are few to be seen
in less expensive wares, and even in
heavy plate. Silver has become so
cheap commodity that plate has
taken certain sort of disrepute, but
nevertheless there are times and places
when it is desired.
Such an object as pen tray is better
solid, to be sure, but as it gets very
little usage good plate will last life
time. Fads and fancies are SO com
pletely the things of the hour, and
tickle seekers after novelty are So per-
petually making changes, that it seems
hardly worth while to invest much
money upon what is likely to be super
seeded in a few months at farthest.-N.

THE USE OF Wells.
Dangers Incurred by Wearing Fanciful
Designs.


Fashion is queen, but if her subjects
could always remember to be sensible
in their devotions the burdens imposed
by her would often be much lighter,
and yet the spirit of the law would be
obeyed. This is especially true just
now in the matter of wells.
1t cannot be doubted that the neces-
sity, if such it was, that invented wells
brought forth what under some Cir
cumstances may be beneficial; but it is
exceedingly doubtful if such praise
can be bestowed upon the articles worn
at the present time.
On windy and dusty day wells of a
proper sort may be worn with no little
comfort. They not only serve to keep
the wearer from an appearance of I'M
tidiness, but are of benefit in protect
ing the eyes from particles of dust.
On a clustering winter day, when
one is riding, a heavy veil, in the form
of scarf, bound around the forehead
and over the ears, with the ends well
tied about the neck and chin, is nearly
as useful, without being so cumber-
sumo, DIS GIle iuuuler.
But all this does not excuse the risk
of injury to the eyes incurred by the
continual obscurity of the sight caused
by wearing the fanciful fabrics now in
vogue
OF the different styles of such fabrics
it is probable that the watered designs
are the most harmful, though it is
hard to conceive how they can be much
worse than the heavily-fguredd designs.
We are all aware of the intimate re-
lation between the general nervous
system and special senses Indeed, the
relation of this most important sense
of sight to certain organic changes in
the body has been the subject of much
recent investigation. 1t is probable
that the feeling of being sight tired, :"
which we are all liable to experience,
very nearly approaches at times to a
special disease.
But whether we understand such
matters or not, it behooves all of us to
appreciate the gift of sight sufficiently
not to abuse it by needlessly straining
our eyes.
Let us be sensible first and fashiona.

SEARCHING FOR EXCUSE.
Out of Bible Incidents Trying to Condone

No man ever started out to be a
drunkard. They generally start out
like gentlemen and end like hogs. God

when men begin to manufacture an
abundant supply of two-legged hogs
He has right to object. People said
that because Christ made wine at a
wedding it gave encouragement to the
accursed business of liquor selling
Just as well say because Christ sent
Peter to the seashore and caught fish
in order to find a coin with which to
pay his tax. that we will establish a
mud cat sub-treasury and go down to
the river and catch fish and collect
money out of their mouths. Again, it
was argued that Paul advised Timothy
to take little wine for his stomach
sake. But your name is not Timothy,
and Paul did not advise you to have the
stomach ache sixteen times day. II
