The Canadian Government has sent
Police to Enforce New Regulations.
Toronto, Ont, Aug. "a special to
the Globe from Ottawa says that the
Dominion government has made several
important decisions in regard to the
Yukon country and the working of the

BUIES CREEK ACADEMY AND
COMMERCIAL SCHOOL.

Poe's, Harnett County, N. C., Aug. 8.
-(SpeciaD-The nineteenth semi-annual
term of this popular institution opened
this week. Old students are returning
and new ones are coming IN almost every
day. Though this is only the first week,
already there are ten counties repre-
sented in the enrolment, which is bet
ter than is usually done by Christmas.
The school is only in its tenth year, but
parents are beginning to learn that it
has peculiar advantages ever most of
the schools in the State. The school
is in a quiet country place, not bar
room in the county, and its cheap rates
and thorough instruction are rapidly
placing it in the trent Of the academies
in the State.

is Mr.. SHERMAN FAILING?
THE ENGLISH PRESS SPEAK OF HIS
''SENILE DECAY"
His Interview Touching England Makes the
London Papers Red-Hot as to His
Mental Balance.

London, August Accommodating on
the interview of the New York World
with Secretary Sherman, the st. James
Gazette this afternoon says:
Secretary Sherman's utterances af-
ford no material for denial by his friends
Of the statement that he is suffering
from senile decay. But, after all, Mr..
Sheman represents America and we
are certain all International cOurtesleS
will be observed"
Continuing the st. James Gazette re-
fers to the Kalnoky incident when it says
Austria properly severed diplomatic re-
latiOns with Great Britain until Mr..
Gladstone apolOgized for his attack on
the dual monarchy" and asks why there
is one law in Europe and another in
America.
In conclusion, the st. James Gazette
repeats its recent warning that this is a
dangerous line of policy to follow, and
that some day Great Britain may call
upon Washington to back up its
bluff"
The Westminster Gazette, referring
to the same matter, remarks this after
noon:
"The interview is a fruity example of
Sherman's saloon style"
The Globe ON this subject says to-day:
Secretary Sherman had better rid
himself of the idea that Uncle Sam is
going to boss the show, either on the
gold fields or in the fisheries. We are
not ready to follow every quarrel with
blows; but, when we strike we strike
hard, and the idea of our being afraid of
a third rate naval power like the United
States could only have occurred to a
lunatic or to Mr.. Sherman. Judging
from his latest performances we NAV
charitably assume that the rumors that
Mr.. Sherman is suffering from mental
disturbances are correct"
The utterances attributed to Secreta-
ry Sherman, upon which the comment of
the London papers is based, were as fol-
lows:
England is great country, but it is
not always safe to assume that she Is
ready to follow up every quarrel with
blows. She quarrels oftener than she
fights. 1t would be exceedingly difficult
for her to fight us all alone about our
seal catching. Russia and Japan are
in a similar position, and any quarrel
between the United States and England
on this score would in all probability
involve those other two countries"

INJUNCTIONS NO GOOD
ATTORNEY GENERAL OPENLY
DEFIES JUDGE WILLIAMS.
MAY Be ARRESTED FOR CONTEMPT
Attorney General Will Have Support of Entire
State--The Governor Sa Issue Has
Been Made and Must be
! ught to the End.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 9.-The long
Threatened clash between the United
States courts and the authorities of the
State of Kansas came to-day when At
torney General Boyle, acting upon the
advice and with the concurrence of the
State administration took action in the
State courts in open defiance of the fed
eral courts.
This action is the outcome of an in
junction issued on July 20 last by United
States district Judge John A. Williams,
of Arkansas, at Colorado Springs, Col,
by which he positively enjoined State
insurance commission Webb McNeal and
Attorney General Boyle, Of Kansas, from
bringing any proceedings whatever under
the State laws to prevent the Mutual
Life Insurance Company from doing bus
ihess in Kansas.
Attorney General Boyle to-day went
before the State Supreme court, bring
ing proceedings in quo warranto against
the Mutual Life Insurance Company to
compel that corporation to appear be-
fore the State Supreme court and show
by what authority it is transacting bust
ness in the State of Kansas.
Attorney General Boyle, having done
precisely what the injunction OF Judge
Williams forbade him doing, the pre-
sumption is that the federal judge win
cause his arrest and Imprisonment for
contempt. In this event application for
a writ of habeas corpus will be made at
once to the United States Supreme court
and in such a proceeding the Attorney
General would have the support of the
entire State administration. Governor
Leedy has declared that the issue has
been made and that the matter must be
fought to termination

EX-sECRETARY SMITH DID 1T.
His Good Offices as Arbitrator Settled
The Georgia Cotton Factory Strike.

Atlanta. Ga, Aug. cit develops to-
day that the settlement of the big strike
of the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills
operatives here was the work of former
Secretary of the Interior HOke Smith.
The strike was the most serious labor
difficulty that has developed in Atlanta
in recent years and as it involved the
troubles of negro questions, an adjust
ment was difficult. DISTINGUISHED parties
induced the strikers committee and Pres
ident Elsas, of the company to meet in
Mr.. Smiths office, however, and with
the former secretary acting as arbitra
tor an agreement was reached on terms
suggested by him. The settlement is
regarded here as a victory for the prin-
ciple of arbitration in labor disputes.

mother and at the risk of his life
went to her rescue. He found her
sitting in the floor, clapping her
hands and apparently resigned to
the horri ole death which seemed to
await her. He dragged her from
the building though the heat of
the flames had become almost un-
bearable. Mr. Cauthen's loss on
the house was probably several
hundred dollars. Ben lost almost
everything he had except sewing
machine and some furniture which
was in room downstairs. His
loss amounts to at least, 800.
Ben is n very good darkey and
his white friends sent some clothes
for his family the morning after
the fire and no doubt are helping
him with other contributions.
