PROPOSAL FROM CANADA.

Submits q Plan to the United States for

proposals have been taken under adj

by tie British principal secretary of
state tor foreign affairs and were for.
warded by the governor general of
Canada, through the British embassy,
to the state department and referred to
the interior department. There the
papers are locked up pending considera.

The proposals, while reserving the
rights OF either country pending tho
settlement Of the international boundary
line between the United States and
Canada south of Mount St. Elias, urge
the expediency Of establishing a perma-
nent route giving access to the interior
at all seasons Of the year. The most
feasible route, in the judgment of the
Canadian authorities, would be to start;
from the head of winter navigation on
the Lynn canal (the body Of water run
ming from near Juneau up beyond Dyea
and Chilcat, forming part Of the present
overland route) crossing the mountains
by White Pass or any other pass which
may seem more accessible, and proceed
northward to Fort Selkirk and thence
to Klondyke.

Exciting Incidents In the Min
; ers' Strike Are Numerous
Just at Present.
Injunction Case Argued and a
.; Decision Favorable to the
Men Expected.
Deputies at the De ArmItt
Mines Quarrel and One ls
: Fatally Shot.

P1rrsBuRa, Aug. 1.-THE day was
fraught with exciting incidents in mat.
ters pertaining to the miners strike.
Mutiny in the strikers camp. murder
in the deputies ranks, fling Of criminal
and civil suits against the De Armitts,
and the hearing in the injunction case
against President Dolan and others,
kept both sides to the struggle busy and
on the qui vive all day long.
The hearing in the injunction case
before Judges Stowe and Collier was
perhaps one of the most important and
interesting every held in q Pennsyl.
vania court. 1t was hearing in which
both capital and the rights Of labor
were interested and the decision is ex-
pected to have q telling effect on the
conduct of the great coal miners strike
which has been on since July B.
Some Surprises Probable.
From the testimony adduced and
from the expressions Of the court it can
safely be said that there will be some
surprises. That the injunction will be
materially modified there can be no
doubt, which on its face would indicate
victory for the strikers. The prelimi-
nary decree has been continued, pend.
ing consultation of the judges, and an
opinion will probably be handed down
in a day or two.
Judge Collier said in court that the
strike would go down in history as one
of the wonders of the country, and re-
markable on account of the utter lack OF
disorder, for which the strikers are COM
mended and have the sympathy Ct the
court.
Not So Sweeping a. Supposed.
Judge Stowe said: ''This injunction
will not justify the issuing OF an at
tachment against any marchers who
are not found in company with the men
named in the Injunction"
He let it be understood that the in.
junction is not SO sweeping as has been
thought.
In addition to the civil suits entered
against President w. P. de Armitt by
his former employees for wages, three
criminal suits have been brought against
Samuel de Armitt, his brother. Mrs.
Croter, who was evicted on Saturday by
Samuel de Armitt, has brought a suit
in the criminal court, charging assault
and battery. She says in her charge
that her husband was not at home and
that De Armitt took her by the shout
ders and threw her out of the house.
She says he held Ratchet above her
head and threatened to kill her.
