The Line to Be Agreed Upon.

1t is believed in Washington that in
view of the great prominence Alaska has
achieved owing to the recent gold dis
coveries and the Importance of definitely
fixing the boundary line between our terri
tory and that of the Dominion of Canada
that the Senate, when it assemblies in De-
cember, will take early action upon the
treaty pending between Great Britain and
the United States for the survey and
marking of the 141st meridian. The l41st
meridian marks the eastern boundary OF
Alaska down to within ten marine leagues
of the southern coast, where the line
trends to the southeast, keeping that dis
tance from the coast. Concerning the
14lst meridian there is, of course, no con-
troversy between the United States and
Great Britain, but no basis Of settlement
of the southeastern line has yet been
reached by the two countries But IN the
determination many intricate questions
are involved; whether the coast line shall
be assumed to follow the sinuousities OF
the shore or run from headland to head
land; or, whether the line shall be consid-
cred to ren ten marine leagues from the
outer shore of the island, which form a
sort of archipelago along the coast. The
Government officials who have studied
the question are confident that our title
includes the islands and ten marine
leagues of territory from the coast line
with all its Sinuosities

A GRAVE SITUATION.
FEAR SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS
in AUSTRIA.
It Is Possible that the Deadlock in the
Reichsrath May Cause a Suspension
of the Constitution Off GERS for SD
Degree Masons.
Austria and Hungary.

The present deadlock in the reichsrath
at Vienna, owing to the German obstruc-
ton, has created a critical situa ton, and
in some quarters suspension Of the Aus
trian constitution is believed possible. At
n late session of the lower house, after an
uproarious dispute between DR.. krama-
rez, the acting president, and the German
opposition, the chamber adopted by
large majority the acting presidents pro-
posal tr discuss the motions for the I'M
parchment of the ministry at the morning
sittings and to devote the evenings to the
bill for the extension of the compromise
with Hungary, the delay in adopting
which is causing much resentment IN
Hungary and rendering the passage of the
treaty by the Hungarian parliament eX-
tremely doubtful. In the lower house of
the Hungarian parliament at Budapest,
Baron Banffy, the premier, replying to
Herr Francis Kossuth, son of the ceIe-
brated Hungarian patriot who urged the
Government to take advantage of Aus
trian chaos and try for Hungary's indie
pendence," declared that the ministry had
no intention Of turning Austria's diff
culties unreasonably to the advantage of
the Hungariaps. 1.-The union Of the two
Countries he declared, must be regard
ed as indissoluble. Should the Austrian
constitutional system break down-which
God forbid-the Hungarian Government
would be obliged to act Independently re-
garding the joint questions of the customs
and commercial treaty between Austria
and Hungary, and Of the charter and priv
ileges of the Austro-Hungarian banks"
This announcement caused a great SEN
sation, and it is believed that Baron
Banffy spoke with the consent Of the en-
peror-king, and that his statement points
to the possibility of absolutist government
in Austria

BUSINESS IS RETARDED.
Bradstreet Reports a S1owness in Cen
erai Trade.

Bradstreet Reports a S1owness in Cen
era' Trade.
Bradstreet's latest commercial report
says: General trade retains most of the
features of d week ago, with continued
check to the movement of staple merchan-
disc At larger Eastern and central
Western cities sales of seasOnable goods
have not equaled expectations, and at
none of these points has the volume Of
business increased. At Chicago, st. Louis,
Baltimore, New York and Providence
there has been Il decrease in the volume
of business in some lines. The Northwest
continues to make relatively more favor
able reports as to trade, although at Mil
vaukee and Minneapolis mild weather has
checked distribution. Wheat is again
above a dollar, ON continued heavy 'ex-
ports. Our wheat export movement, ag-
gregating more than 70,0OO,OOO bushels
within thirteen weeks, is unprecedented,
and points to keener appreciation of the
statistical strength of wheat by European
importers than by manly American trad
ers. Exports of wheat, flour included as
wheat, from both coasts OFF the United
States and from Montreal this week
amount to 1901 ,3H bushels, against o.
b52, 1000 bushels last week. Exports of In
dian corn amount to l $50, 1913 bushels this
week, compared with l,l1a,00O bushels
last week.

Too Much Cold Water.

Someone broke into the Sumner High
School Cfor negroes) in ST. Louis through
one Of the windows, went downstairs and
turned on the full water pressure into the
boiler. The water shot up through the
steam pipes into the radiators and escaped
through the valves. 1t soaked through
the flooring and flooded the whole build
ing. School was dismissed until it can be
dried out. About $500 worth of damage
was done to the plastering. There is no
clew to the perpetrators, bat ft is supposed
to have been done by someone IN the
neighborhood, as protest was made
when the school was built.

Department of Commerce.

The National Business League has adj
dressed communication to President
Mckinley favoring the establishing by
Congress of new department Of the
Government entitled the Department of
Commerce and Industry. 1t suggests that
this department include, among other
things, matters relative to the gathering
of information with view to the system
attic extension of commerce with the
South and Central American States and
other foreign countries, and the collect
Ing and tabulating of statistics as to the
industries Of this country, wlths reports
and recommendations concerning them, as
q basis of intelligent action in the interest
of such industries and the employees there
in. 1t requests that the statistical and
certain other bureaus and matters now i'll
other departments be transferred to the
proposed department and that it also In
clude a tariff bureau or commission which
shall investigate and report ON future CON
templated changes in tariff schedules
President Mckinley is respectfully re-
quested in the communication to recon-
mend to Congress that there be such fegis-
lation as will accomplish the object
sought, and is told that so far as the Ma
tional Business League can learn the bus
mess men Of the country are practically

ANSWER FROM SPAIN.
Wordford's Note Does Not Call Forth
a Defiant Reply.

Wordford's Note Does Not Call Forth
Defiant Reply.
President Mckinley has had laid before
him at Washington the text of Spain's
answer to Minister Woodford. In COM
pany with Secretary Sherman and As
sistant Secretary Adee he went over the
document with great care. AS result
it can be stated from official quarters at
the White House that the construction
placed upon the answer by the administra-
ton is that it is not defiant in tone, is not
menacing and is not warlike. Under such
circumstances those officials who are
chiefly concerned in the negotiations do
not feel that any crisis is near at hand,
nor do they fear that the answer presents
an issue beyond the power Of diplomatic
solution. On the contrary, the entire dis
position in administration quarters is to
treat the answer as satisfactory in tone,
and as a marked advance in the assur-
ances Spain has heretofore given. Not
withstanding this official view, there are
those who believe that the message is
much stronger in tone than the officials
will admit, and that it presents issues
which will call from the President a ring
ing message when he lays the case and all
the correspondence before Congress few
weeks hence. From no authoritative
source however, can this belligerent view
be confirmed.

HOME RULE FOR INDIANS.
Chief Isparcecher Proposes Council
of Leading Men.

Chief Isparcecher Proposes Council
of Leading Men.
The initial step toward what may be the
final termination of the yexed Indian
problem in the Indian Territory has just
been taken by Chief Isparcecher in spe-
cial message to the Greek council. The
plan advocated is supposed to be the re-
suit of the recent conference of leaders
of the Cherokee, Greek and Seminole
tribes, and Chief Mayes of the Cherokee
Nation Is known to favor the plan. In
his message Chief Isparcecher says: Our
effort to treat with the United States
Government has proved UNSUCCESSFUL ana
we can now have no hope of continuing
our government much longer as we now
do by the terms of any new treaty. Inc
time has now come. in my opinion, Wnen
the citizens of the five nations should get
together and agree upon the establishment
Of general government by which we may
perpetuate the rights of self government.
Should we be attached to Oklahoma as
territory or State this right of self-goyern-
ment will be taken from us by the superior
number of its voting population. None OF
us wants such a connection with okla
homa, yet there are strong efforts belng
made by politicians for single statehood
including the FIVE nations. They are yet
the sovereigns of their soil and politically
free born, with the right to shape FOR
themselves government that will be FOR
the protection Of their lives and property.
In conclusion the chief recommends the
holding of convention Of the leading men
Of the five civilized tribes, to the end that
the United States Government may re-
ceive definite proposals looking to the es-
Establishment Of government "of the In
dams and for the Indians of the five civil
lied tribes

More Trouble for Spain.

The Porto Ricans of New York are
talking about another uprising in Spain $
minor colony in the West Indies. Ihey
throw out dark hints about an expedition
that is daily expected to land, and talk
with confidence Of being able to sweep
Capt. Gen. Marin and the 5000 Spanish
regular troops into the sea. The spanish
volunteers, who number about 1,ooo Oh
the island, are not taken into consiuefa-
ton, but are dismissed by the plotters as
men who never fight. Several Porto NC
ans have arrived in New York within the
last week with news from the island that
has stirred up the fires Of revolution
among the exiles who are there. Ihey
have declared that Porto Rico will not
accept autonomy and that an uprising
will take place before Spain has an %.
portunity to inaugurate the proposed re-
forms.
