Are NOR sANGUINE.
Reciprocity with Gambia Likely TO
Remain "a Dream.

Remlth bredn.
Washington, November 1S.-Members of
| the Anglo American commission, Cana
/ dams and Americans, expressed the hope
To-day that the commission would COM
| plete it's labors before the Christmas holi-
{days, but they are not yet willing to state
many subjects of difference between the
United States and Canada.
Minor questions have been agreed on
| but the more important questians are still
under consideration. While the commits
sion treats all statements regarding its
work as unauthorized, yet 1t is understood
by those acquainted with its work that the
questions OF border immigrations, mining
ligats. lake fisheries and the Alaska
canadian boundary have been found less
difficult of solution than was expected and
that basis of agreement on these sub
jects is in sight, If not actually determined
upon. Technically, however, nothing is
done until the last act of the commission
is performed so that these and all other
subjects remain open until the end. As
10 the Boring sea the View prevails on
b5td sides that a settlement will be
reached
Reciprocity and the Atlantic fisheries
Noltinue TO be the most stubborn questions
before the commission. On reciprocity the
commissioners do not express themselves
in sanguine terms. The subject is still
before sub committee, which, however,
will report when an agreement rs reached
and the full committee approves what has
been done.
The committee held its usuel session be-
ginning at IL o'clock today.
The joint session was brief and the COM
mission adjourned until Tuesday at II a.
m. The two sides held separate sessions
during this afternoon and most of The slime
until Tuesday will be given to these sepa-
rate meetings. The sole object consid-
cred today was reciprocity. The prospect
of an early settlement of the Bering sea
question was improved by the receipt of
word that the two officials who have been
making an appraisal of the value of the
Canadian sealing fleet have completed their
iabors and are now on their way to Wash
ington.

SEMiNOLES Elk CITED.
May Take the War Path to avenGe the
Dcath of Two Murderers.

Musliogee. I. T.. Jan. 1O.-An alarm
ing state of riot prevails in the Semi
mole nation. and unless immediate
steps are taken by the United States
authorities. n bloody Indian uprising
may result.
This is on account of the burning of
two Indians by whites for the murder
and outrage of Mrs. Lcard on January
1St
Late tonight Dr. c. p. Linn. chief
physician to the Seminole nation, tele-
graphed to both Indian Agent Wisdom
and Marshal Bennett for assistance in
quelling the state of war that prevails
in the nation. He confirmed the news
of the stake burnings and gave the
names of the sufferers as Lincoln Nc
Gelsey and Palmer Samson, two young
Seminoles.
Both the Indians came from respecta-
bic Seminole families. and their fear
full death has reused their friends and
relatives to frenzy. Dr. Linn has just
arrived from the seat of the burning
and states that the bodies We're burned
and mutilated in most horrible man
ner and are unrecogniZable.
All the authorities here recognize
that the situation is nearer bordering
on dangerous Indian uprising than
any in recent years and are taking
prompt measures to quell 1t.

Moody ON Sunday Labor.

..rhere are one or two principles
which apply directly to the frequent
difficulties which meet the Christian
young man. writes Dwight l.. Moody
of "a Young Mans Religious Life" in
the January Ladies' Home Journal.
In Sunday labor there is certain
amount of work that must be done on
Sunday, both for the needs and health
of community. But in necessary
work it should be dispatched as quick
ly as possible, and not be used as an
excuse for unnecessary work.
when the Lord ordained IL day of
rest 1t was for mans best interests,
physically. mentally and spiritually,
and any man who barters the day of
rest to crafty the selfish interests of
another is always the loser. Man needs
for the welfare of his soul. as well as
his body, mt least one day in seven to
devote to its special needs. | know,
from personal experience, that no man
can work seven days in the week, not
even in religious work. and do the best
work he is capable of. either for God or

TELLER TALKS BACK,
Defends the Silver Men Against Foolish
Charges.


Washington. Jan S.-The feature of
the Senate session was a speech deliv.
cred by Mr.. Teller of Colorado. regard
ing press reports that the recent efforts
to make it appear that Secretary Gage
had rendered his resignation as n
member of the Cabinet to President
Mckinley were part of n conspiracy
Of the silver men to disrupt the Cab
met and create dissensions between
the President and his advisers. Mr.
Teller branded the publication as an
insult to the advocates of the free
coinage of silver. He was satisfied
that the President and Secretary Gage
were in full accord upon the financial
question. He attacked the Republican
party because it was n party advocat.
ing the gold standard. and expressed
his intention of doing all in his power
to defeat the party in 1900 and to drag
the present administration from power
because the policy of the party was, in
his opinion, inimical to the best and
highest interests of the people of the
United States.
At the opening of the Senate the re-
ply of the attorney general to the Sen
ate resolution calling upon members
of the Cabinet to inform the Senate
what, If any, changes should be made
in the administration of the civil SER
vice law, was read.
The attorney general recommended
that attorneys employed by the De-
partment of Justice and deputy United
States marshals ought to be excepted
from the operation of the law.
Mr.. Cockrell said that these recon-
mendations ought to be made to the
President of the United States, as he
had full power to act regarding them
He gave notice that he would move
to refer all the replies of Cabinet Off
GERS to the Senate resolution to the
President himself.
