Less Newspaper Or tIcism.

Berlin, Jan. 12.-There is distinctly
less stress of feeling here to-day in re-
gard to the international complication
growing out of the Transvaal crisis
and the German press. as a rule. de-
votes less space to II than for some
time. The tone of the comment of the
newspapers. which means 50 much In
this land of press censorship and in

rather more peaceable. and there is
less talk of active hostilfties and more
hope expressed OF an unarmed settle
ment of the question at issue. Ex-
pressions of irritation at the British
government and of ra Moor against the
English people are still more or less
bitter, however.

1t is considered that there Is a vast
country in the northwest territory
which can reach the seaboard only
through a pass In the North Rocky
mountains and then across the strip of
land owned by the United States. East
of the Rocky mountains and east of the
Alaskan coast IL is a country of almost
inestimable extent known as the
Peace river country. There may be
100. .000, 900 acres Of tillable or pastoral
ground there. 1t has the benefit of the
warm air currents from the Pacific,
which make 1t a milder climate than
in those parts of the northwestern tre-
ritory still further east. 1t is desired
by Great Britain to open up this great
wheat and stock producing country
and secure a short route to the sea- A
branch of the Canadian Pacific road
could be built through this Peace river
region and by a pass through the
mountains reach the sea coast without
much trouble and by shorter haul
than by railroads further south. This
would give the Canadian Pacific an
other western terminus, would build
up British city right upon the flank
of the Alaskan possessions of the Uni
great naval station and a military post
commanding our Alaskan territory. and
the portion which the Alaskan coast
now gives to this country would be
largely nullified. The object of Great
Britain is quite plain. Upon the great
fertile lands to be opened by building a
road to the coast through the Peace
river region there would be vast fields
lie xx,fth he o4x,u
raised in our states along our northern
border. At present these fields cannot
be opened nor lands developed because
of the long rail haul to the terminus
of the Canadian Pacific road. Without
another terminus in Alaska these great
fields cannot be opened without con-
sent of the United States.
Senator Davis does not think this
government will ever seriously consid- |
er the question of arbitrating the Alas |
kan boundary.

House Routine Matters.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The week in
the house will be devoted to routine
matters. AS soon as the consideration
of the rules is completed the pension
appropriation bill will be taken up. As
quite a number of members desire to

with the administration of the pension
Office and various proposed reforms
therein, 1T has been decided to allow
ample time for debate, and II is not be-
lieved that the bill will be disposed OF
before Thursday. The appropriation
committee has no other bill ready and
the remainder of the week will be de-
voted to such other matters as may be
brought UP.

Discussion In the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The greater
part of the senate session during the
present week will be consumed in dis
cussion of the finance committees sill
YER substitute for the bond bill. Sena-
tor Morgan will lead off with a speech
tomorrow and Senators Daniel and
Dubois have also given notice of
speeches. The probabilities are all
against securing a vote on the meas
ure during the week. The bill is cne
which under any circumstances would
call for much animated debate, which
would render it impossible to reach
conclusion on any weeks debate. The
advocates of the bill also have a spe-
cial reason in this instance for desiring
a temporary delay. Approaching the
close margin on the vote they are de-
sirous that the Utah senators, of whose
support they feel confident. should be
in their seats when the vote is taken.
They would probably not resort to di-
latory tactics to secure this delay fur

About AIaska's Boundary Line.

Washington. Jan. 12.-Senator Davis
of the committee on foreign relations,
has been giving considerable attention
to the Alaskan boundary dispute He
has found nothing in his investigation
which would cause him to change the
lines which have always been under
stood as the boundary and upon which
both countries have been proceeding
for many years. He says that the only
question in dispute is whether 10 ma
rine leagues from the ocean meant from
the main land or from the adjacent
lands. Davis says this does not pre-
sent a case for arbitration, because it
is manifestly plain that the shore of the
main land OF the continent is the basis
of the true line. II is also evident
from the selection OF the mountain
range as a line that the men who drew
the boundary agreement meant that the
line should be 10 leagues from the ocean
where it touched the main land. ISL
ands. he said. always go with the
shore. and when a question arises as to
whether an island. no matter at what
time settled or claimed. belongs TO one
country or another. il goes always TO
the country owning the main land. IL
the main land is adjacent. So il is with
the island Of the Alaskan archipelago.
They become the property Of !.uss.a
because Russia owned the main land Of
the shore and became the property OF
the United States when Alaska was
sold 10 this country.

ASTO THE CUBAN WAR
The House Committee Considering the
Question of Recognition.
SOME CAUSE FOR DELAYING
Forecast for the Week In Both
Branches-The Substitute Bill on
the Tapis-The Alaskan Boun-
dairy and Other Matters.

Washington, Jam. 12-Assurances
have been given by the house commit
tee on foreign affairs to those members
who are now interested in the move
ment ITO secure recognition for the Gu
ban revolutbonists uhaIt a report will be
made to the house at the earliest day
consistent with a proper investigation.
A subcommittee of the foreign affairs
committee has been designated by
Chairman Hit and has taken jurisdic-
tion of the Cuban matter with these
members: Adams, Pennsylvania, chair
man, Draper Massachusetts,; HIT, ILli-
nois. Some impatience has been voiced
In the house because the resolution to
recognize the revolutionists has not
been brought forward and passed i'm
mediately, and patriotic and sentiment
al reasons have been urged in support
of this feeling
The foreign affairs committee recog-
nize fully the existence of this senti-
ment, but he subcommittee does not
feel justified in acting without the
usual elaboration, nor is 1t certain that
they win deem DIT expedient for this
government to recognize Cuba at
once.
Apart from the sentimental reasons,
there is a commercial phase of the
question of which the foreign affairs
are not allowed to remain in
ignorance. There are sugar invest
ments in Cuba held by citizens of the
United States amounting TO some $780,
900, 900, which have suffered enormous
damage at the hands of the rebels in
their raiIds. So long as the revolution
has no recognized standing, Spain is
responsible for these losses, and the
owners of Plantations hope to be able
to secure reparation from her at some
future day. When this government
formally takes notice of the fact that a
state of war exists in Cuba, dts cfti-
zens will have no ground upon which
to base their claims. These considera-
tions tend TO retard recognition.
Whether they will defeat the move
ment for recognition remains to be
seen

sEor1oNA11sm STILL FLOUR

The assertion that sectiOnalism no
longer exists in the United States is
not warranted by the facts. In proof
of this it is but necessary to notice the
returns from the elections recently
held.
The interests of the people in the New
England states and the interests Of the
people of the south are not so divergent
as to warrant majorities of 10000 for
one party in one locality and majorities
of 10000 for the opposing party in
the other 1t is evident that there is
something more than principle invOIv-
ed in the result. There is ignorance,
prejudice or sectional feeling, one or all
three.
There are no large cities in Vermont,
Maine, Alabama or Arkansas and the
people of these states must therefore
have in a great measure, common in
terests and be injured or benefited
alike in a general way by the success or
failure of any political party and if act
uated merely by a desire for their own
welfare might reasonably be expected
to vote the same way. They have not
done this by wide margins, neither are
they likely to do so in November.
While the masses of the people are
thus disunited who is to look after their
welfare? Can they trust the politicians
to do it? The masses can take charge
of the government whenever they like,
but it will be necessary to get together
first

TIE DEMOCRATS MISTAKE.

The election is but seven weeks of
and the SewaI-Watson vice presiden-
tial muddle seems no nearer a settle
ment than it was at the time Mr. Wat
son was nominated. The Democratic
managers, probably, are convinced by
this time that they made a mistake in
nominating Mr.. sewalL
He was named in pursuance Of a long
established precedent of both parties
which has been when a western man
was nominated for president to nomi-
nate man from the extreme east for
vice president. This has been popular
" supposed to bring strength to the
ticket. But Mr.. Sewan has brought no
strength to the ticket; on the contrary
he has had a tendency to weaken it.
The Chicago convention did not seem
to appreciate the fact at the time, that
it was dealing with a party that has
shown but little regard for presidents.
Then, there was nothing about Mr..
Sewan to recommend him except his
silver views.
The logical candidate of the Chicago
convention for the vice presidency was
Joseph y. SAD1Gy u 4 eAAlSy anna. Il
he had been named for the place there
is little probability that Watson or any
other Populist would have been a factor
in the campaign.
Even now it would probably be the
part of wisdom for the three national
committees to depose both SewaIl and
Watson and put up Sibley. Every OBJ
stacle to a settlement of the money
question on its merits should be re-
moved or disregarded.

local lodging house, weak and pale and
almost broken in spirit, is Willie Lea

startled the visitors at the recent ex-
position by eating glass tumblers and

to efforts to view his interior anatomy

After several experiments at glass
eating, local physicians put him on a
table with the cathode ray apparatus
strapped to his back. When the cur
rent was turned on he received a Sc

badly. This has developed into a ma

shattered that he cannot eat glass I'M

TOM REEDS NEW JOB.
Has Begun His Duties as Insurance
Adjuster.

New York. Sept 16.-Thos. B. Reed
has announced to the insurance COM
panies that he is ready to enter upon
his new duties as arbitrator of q of the
leading life insurance companies of the
United States.
Speaker Reed was recently selected
to this position to succeed the late VIM.
E. Russell. former governor of Massa-
chUsetts. Mr.. Reed was first suggested
for the place by John A. Mccall of the
New York Life, and all the other com
panies expressed their approval of the
suggestion.
There is a general agreement between
the companies which represent com
bined capital of more than 81, DOC, 000, 900,
as to rates and loans
When there is any difficulty as to
actions upon these points the case is
referred to the arbitrator for settle
nent. This is very seldom necessary,
so that very little of Mr.. Reeds time
will be required by the duties of the
new place. The salary is equal to that
which Mr. Reed receives as a member
of congress, IS, 900 per year.
