WHOSE ISLAND rs IT?

Duluth, Mimi, June 24.-Gold has
been discovered on Oak Point island,
in Rainy lake, which will undoubted-
Jy lead to an international boundary
dispute between Great Britain and the
United States. According to the maps
of the geological survey the island is
in Canadian territory, but according to
the wording of the treaty of rights, the
island is part of the State of Mime
sofa. Canada has issued patents to
some valuable mining locations on the
island and vigorous protests are being
sent to Washington by American pro-
spectors. The miners throughout the
Rainy lake district are considerably
wrought up over the matter and there
is probability of trouble unless some
| thing is done. The way things now
stand, the United States loses entire
control even of her waters in Rainy
lake, as, according to the geological
survey. the United States cannot get
boat into Rainy lake without first go
ing through Canadian waters. This
| is a direct violation of the treaty.
The three hundred island boundary
| dispute is of minor Importance as
compared to this.

POWDERLY'S JOB.
MKINLBY WILL CREATE HIM COM
MISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION.
He Is Past General Master Workman Of
The Knights Of Labor And Some Of
His Set Oppose Him.

New York, June 24-The Journal and
Advertiser says:
President Mckinley, it is said, has
decided to appoint Terrence v. Pow
derby, formerly general master work.
man of the knights of Labor, commits
sioner of immigration at this port to
succeed DR.. Josh Sener.
This information reached the Jour-
nal from a prominent local politician
who returned Wednesday from Wash
ington. This man has been friendly
with the President for many years and
declares that the whole matter is set
tied and that Powderly's name will
soon be sent to the Senate.
1t is said his appointment is to pay
for his support of the Republican can
| didates and platform last fall. 1t is
| further said that the steamship COM
panies, as well as the regular. labor or
CARNATIONS are opposed to the selec-
| tion of Powderly. The opposition of
the steamship companies, will however,
| cease, as they are interested in land
ing all the immigrants they can and an
unfriendly commissioner could make 1t
| very uncomfortable for them during
| the four years of his term.
The local Republican machine will
probably try to stop Powderly's APP
pointment.
Most of the leading Knights of La
Dor in this city are very much oppos,
ed to ex-General Master Workman
Powderly being appointed commission
er of immigration or appointed to any
government position. When 1t was
rumored first, about two months ago
that he might be appointed, protes
was sent to Washington from mum
Der of local knights stating that IL
their opinion he was not fitted fol
such position.
1t was said here last night that thu
knights of Labor throughout the
country did not share the feeling o
the New York knights against Pow
derby, however. 1t was also said tina
the knights here will probably SEM
another protest to Washington agains
Powderly's appointment.

FLOUR MARKET.
General Review of the Conditions of
Trade at the Various Centers.

General Review of the Conditions of
Trade at the Various Centers.
Minneapolis, Mimi, June 24.-The
Northwestern Miller reports the flour
output last week as follows:
Minneaplis-The output should be
about the same this week The -four
market was not active the past week,
Minneapolis sales approximating 225,-
900 barrels. The advance in prices
seemed to affect trade. The hand-to-
mouth trading goes on, buyers being
disinclined OF take flour, except as their
daily needs require. Something was
for export, but more clear was taken
than patent, London being fair buyer
of the former. Millers and importers
found it easier to come to terms on
clear than on patents. Second clear
is hard to move at any price. The
lack of a southern demand is felt in
this direction.
Superior Duluth-The output this
week is estimated at about 5000 bar
rels. Domestic trade was paltry last
week and what little business was
done was transacted the first part of
the week. Foreigners are buying scan
tily and will not pay millers' prices.
Feed is sick and clear flour is quiet.
Milwaukee-Producti will proba-
bly, show a decrease this week Bus
mess last week was light and chiefly
domestic. What little export was
worked was at unsatisfactory prices.
Feed is without demand and seventy
five cents lower.
st. Louis and southwest-Millers are
waiting for new wheat, harvest being
in progress in Missouri, Illinois and
Kansas. The first car of lew wheat
arrived in ST. Louis Saturday. Stocks
in the south are low, buyers waiting
for -four on the new basis. Early last
week there was a fair demand but
later the market was dull.

Worked for Forty Cents

POLITE BURGLARS.

Ring up the Police and Notify Them
that they are Cracking a Safe.
Chicago, June A.-The police at
headquarters were somewhat startled
by a strange voice on the telephone
saying: I'VE are blowing up the safe
at 40 Dearborn street. Come quick
and you can get u.s." 1t was consid-
cred a practical joke, and although the
number is only three blocks from the
station, no attention was paid to the
matter until the proprietor of the
plumbing establishment at 49, Dear
born notified the police that several
hundred dollars worth of goods had
been stolen. An attempt had also been
made to blow up the safe, which
stands directly under the telephone,
but the burglars had been frightened
away before finishing their job.

M'KINLEY CONFIDENT.
THE NEW TARIFF BILL WILL
SURELY PASS.
Senator Chandler Talks Right-Hanna
Is Getting Tired Of Denying
Democratic Lies.

New York, June PA Washington
dispatch to the Journal and Advertis-
'er says:
II regard the organization of labor
as the natural and legitimate effort to
secure it's rights" said President Nc
Kinley today.
This strong declaration in favor of
organized labor was made in the course
of a conversation with Mr.. Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor and Frank Morrison, the Sec
rotary Of the organization.
Mr.. Gompers and Mr.. Morrison came
to the White House about o'clock.
They were admitted at once and the
discussion became so interesting that
the president neglected his drive. For
an hour labor's interest and labor Leg
islation were discussed in all their va
ried phases.
The anti-pooling bill to restrain the
operation of pool and trusts causes the
labor people some anxiety. President
Gompers explained that the labor
unions were afraid that they them
selves would be classed as trusts and
the penalties of the act applied to them
rather than to the large combinations
usually known as trusts. He thought
an amendment should be made specifi-
cally exempting labor unions.
President Mckinley agreed that the
labor unions should be protected and
spoke of measures in which he had ia
ken an interest in former years. He
did not, however, seem to think there
was much danger of their being classed
as trusts or subjected to penalties.
Unless you believe, as some people
do" said Mr.. Gompers, that labor
unions are an evil, 1 think you will
agree with me that their existence
should not be endangered by this bill"
Il do not desire to be classed with
those who consider trade unions an
evil" replied the president, and he
finished the sentence with the words
quoted at the beginning Of this dis
patch.

AID FOR CUBA.
Meeting Held Last Night in New York
For that Purpose.

Meeting Held Last Night in New York
For that Purpose.
New York, June 24.-A meeting of
prominent Cubans, presided over by
Delegate Toma Estrada Palma. was
held last night, at the Astor house and
was largely attended by planters,mer-
chants and others having property or
interests in Cuba.
The meeting, which was private, had
for it's object the agreement upon a
plan for raising, within a short time,
the necessary funds to carry on a de-
cidedly vigorous campaign against the
Spanish government in Cuba next
winter in case the absolute indepen-
dence of the island is not by that time
established.
1t was suggested and approved that
in addition to the usual voluntary
monthly contribution to the revolu-
tionary funds, an extra subscription
should be started among Cubans in
the United States and abroad Tor the
purpose of raising a sum Of money
sufficient to purchase and send to the
patriot army within three months time,
all the resources, in which the ordin-
airy course of affairs, would be ship
ped to them during the entire year.
The plan. in short, is to make one
great effort to distribute one years
supplies, so that the Cuban army may
undertake an aggressive policy, instead
of following the present tactics, which
a lack of sufficient supplies compels it
to observe

A NEW CORPORATION.
Big Street Car Manufacturing Con-
Germs will Consolidate.

Big Street Car Manufacturing Con-
Germs will Consolidate.
Chicago, June 24-The Herald
this morning says: 'a
The long cherished plan Of Charles
t. Yerkes, the street railway magnate
to manufacture all machinery needed
by street railroads in Chicago, New
York, Philadelphia and Pittsburg has
at last been realized.
The Siemen- Haskell Railway COM
pany, with it's big factory in Chicago,
is now being consolidated with the
Pennsylvania company's works of Phil
adelphia. A majority of the stock of
the Chicago company has already been
exchanged for the stock of the Penn
sylvania. The minority stockholders
have been given sixty days in which
to accept the offer of the eastern con-
Germ.
with a combined capital of $780,
900 and the two companies will manu-
facture street railway machinery for
the four big cities. The first news of
the consolidation of the two companies
was CLEANED from the results of the
annual meeting of the Chicago con-
Germ.
The new directors are T. C. Yerkes.
w. L. Elkins, Jr., and B. w. Grist. Mr..
Elkins is the son of w. L. Elkins, ST.,
of Philadelphia. The directors then
elected a set of officers headed by
Charles E. Yerkes, son of Charles T.
Yerkes, of Chicago.
Whether the name of the Chicago
concern will be dropped or changed
has not yet been decided. The entran-
ce of the big stock company into the
field of manufacturers will cut a tre-
mendous figure with the electric COM
panies, it is said, that have practi-
cally had a monopoly Of supplying
machinery for the railways.
By the consolidation of the compan-
les Mr.. Yerkes and his colleagues will
be able to manufacture electric ma
chinery at the lowest cost and will
have the contracts from all the big
street, railway companies in the couns
try filled at Chicago.

VETERAN PRINTER DEAD.
Ground to Death by Moving Train in
Binding Storm.

Chicago, June 24.-Robert Fergus,
so years old, the veteran job printer
and newspaper man was instantly kill
ed by fast suburban train on the
Northwestern line at the Main street
crossing, South Vanston, last evening.
In binding rain storm the sturdy
pioneer octogenarian tried to cross the
tracks in front of the fast moving
train and was ground to death. Par
tial deafness was one of his affections
and this his son thinks was the cause
of his failure to notice the approach
of the train. Mr.. Fergus enjoyed the
distinction of having originated and
printed the first Chicago directory.
Among the books on which Mr.. Fer
gus set tpye, when he learned the
printers trade in Glasgow where he
was born, were Walter Scott's Mar
mion," 1.-The Lay of the Last Minstrel"
and "The Lady OF the Lake" and Prof.
F. Meadows French, Italian and Span
