Quebec, Sept 30.-At the brilliant
ball given by the Governor General at
the Citadel to members of the joint
commission and the officers of the
Marblehead and British ships, the AM
erican flag was much in evidence.
Good progress was made by the
commission in the Alaska boundary
matter, and it is understood that a
distinct offer has been made by the
Americans. 1t is precise and definite.
In accordance with instructions from
President Mckinley, the United States
Commissioners have suggested that
the delimitation be left to experts ap-
pointed by both countries. Provision
is also made for reference. The Am
ericans have submitted the names of
the Emperor of Germany, King of
Sweden and King of Italy as the per-
sonnel of the tribunal. The arbitra-
tors in the first instance will include
the Chief Justices of the United States
and Canada. The offer is likely to be
accepted 1t was considered by the
Canadian plenipotentaries before the
commission met. On the part of the
Canadians. it will be urged that bond
ing privileges in perpetuity be extend
ed to Canadians from Skagway and
other points in Alaska.
The Federal Government sees a
great triumph in the adjustment of
an issue that has since the discovery
of gold in the Yukon, so agitated
both countries The Anglo-American
Commission will also endeavor to har-
monize the mining laws in so far as
Alaska and the Yukon are concerned.

willing to grant reciprocal concessions.

PRACTICAL suGGEsTToNs.

One of the first duties of Christian is
to be well defended from attack, to be
so entrenched IN the truths of the Cos
pei, so full of faith and love, so strong
in his consciousness Of right, so posi-
tive on the side of Christ, that the ene-
mics OF religion will usually help him
and bring him aid rather than attack
him.
Reyiyais OF religion, even when they
do not accomplish all that could be de-
sired, and have to be repeated again
and again, yet accomplish wonderful
work for the salvation Of men.

the Twentyfirst LaIcers. These troops
were scouting when they saw in the
basin between 600 and 100 Dervishes.
The Lancers charged the enemy and

There was another memorable Incl

was cautiously crossing the field. after
the Dervishes had broken, to dispatch
the wounded Baggaras-an imperative
duty, owing to the custom of the Bag
garas to fetgn death and then deal a
fatal blow to the unwary enemy. The
Dervishes reformed and made a des-
perate rush upon an isolated camel
corps, believing they had 1t at their
mercy. The corps retired steadily with
out confusion.
McDonald's brigade, assisted by the
gunboats. came to the rescue and Gov
cred the retirement of the camel corps
by pouring volley after volley into the
advancing Dervishes, who, although
their ranks were terribly thinned, con-
tinued their desperate advance.
More Dervishes swept down, the en-
gagement became swift and general
and the enemy was soon completely
routed.
