BOUNDARY IN DISPUTE.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 5.-ln con
ncctiou with an arrest made by the po-
lice at the Alexander race track, the
question of state jurisdiction over the
island has been brought up. Alexander
island was embraced in the original ten
miles square coded to Congress by Mary
land and Virginia. At that time, how
ever, the boundary of the two states was
not decided, though it was decided that
the islands of the Potomac belonged to
Maryland. Alexander island is an island
only at high water, however. Al low
water it is joined to Virginia. 1t there
fore would be the property of one state
or the other according as high or low
water is considered to control As Con-
gress coded back to Virginia only what
it had received from it, the island now
belongs to either the District of Columbia
or to Virginia. according to the old water
question. The race track is organized
under the Virginia laws. If it can be
shown that its territory really belongs to
the district, the track will soon be brok-
en- up, as pool selling is forbidden by
the laws of the district

this morning Sheriff John l. Van Arsd,u
shot and almost instantly killed DR.. f.
Harrod The killing took place in Inv
yers' row, where DIR. Harrod had an of-
fee. The physician had just returned
from call He had gotten rs far as his
office door when he was intercepted bv the
sheriff, who opened fire on him at close
range, firing three shots, two taking effect
in the body and one missing. Just few
seconds before the shooting Van ArsdoI
was talking to Jailer Chatham, who had
started home, but hearing the first shot
and the doctor call out murder, he turned
in time to see the doctor fall.
The cause leading up TO the killing ore
attributable to the recent election in this
county Van Arsdall was candidate for
reelection and was opposed by the doctor
An anonymous circular in which Van Ars-
dali was raked for alleged domestic trou
bles, was sent out. He was charged with
throwing bucket of water on his sick
wife while she was in bed in order TO
make her get up and cook breakfast. If
was also charged that he had unmercfully
whipped his grown daughter with club.
Van Arsdall was defeated for reelection
1t was charged that DR.. Harrod was the
author of this circular, as he had lived
in the house with Van Arsdall and was
strong supporter of the sheriff in the FIRST
race. The dead man graduated at Louis

CHINA is STUBBORN.
viii Not Cede a Foot Of Territory
and Wants TO Buy Back
Port Arthur.

Shanghai, Jan. At is learned on
good authority that the Chinese govern
ment does not intend to code an inch of
territory to Japan, and that it will offer
to buy back Port Arthur.
The Japanese have again reconEoitercd
Wei-hai-woi, but made no attack upon the
place. Heavy rainforccments of so-called
soldiers have been sent to Gen Sung, who
has since joined Gems. Shang and 1eh.
These officers are to hold the Lao river
with $4,000 men. Gen. King has 1000
troops under his command at the city of
Kmchow, to the north of the Gulf of

Danger threatens the peace negotia-
tons between China and Japan. The
Japanese government will decline to
make further postponomcnt Of the actual
commencement of the negotiations, in
order to await the arrival of John w.
Foster, the Chinese advisory counsel.
1t is even probable that arrangements
for the settlement of the dispute will
have been completed before Mr. Foster
reaches Hiroshima. Mr.. Foster will sail
from Vancouver on January =, providing
he is not snoWbound, and is due in
Yokohama January 10 or 20. Two days
will give him ample time to reach

TO PAY MEXICO BACK.
A League of Central American Coun-
tries May be Formed to Settle
Old Scores.

City of Mexico, Jan. 4.-The expected
arrival of ministers from Honduras and
Salvador, and the possible nomination of
ministers from Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, has put a new light on the Guate-
malan-MeXican boundary negotiations
The evident object is to support Guate-
mala and bring force TO make Mexico back
down from her attitude. All appear
ances are that Guatemala is making eff
forts to form Il Central American league
against Mexico for the settlement of old
scores. The Guatemalan minister is al
legged to have telegraphcd after his OIL
cial reception, that the response of Diaz
was applauded, contrary to diplomatic
precedent; that he used threatening Ian
guage and prejudced a question of high
Importance TO all Central America. The
policy of the minister is evidently not
pleasing to his chief, for it is alleged
that Barrios replied, requesting that he
pursue q more conciliatory policy. The
policy of Mariscal and Diaz is noted as
torebearlng, but unless the ENJOYS take
different tack. affairs may become 50
strained that his recall may follow.
