tanning to the salaries and services of teach

Goes After Warships.

New York, March 10. - Commander
w. II. Brownson, United States navy,
sailed for Southampton on the Ameri-
can line steamship st. Paul Wednesday.
He said to a reporter:
II am going to England under orders
direct from the navy department, not from
the president. My mission is to prepare
for the eXigencies of the situation, and to
see what can be had and what can be
done, in case of war, the possibilities of

perhaps longer. 1 expect to be two weeks
in London, but 1 cannot tell where shall
go after reaching England"
Commander Brownson was asked
whether he intended visiting the yards
of Yarrow, the big British torpedo boat
builder. He did not answer directly,
but gave the impression that he would
look at everything in the line of pur-
chasable war craft.

Great Britain Protests.

Picking, March 12.-The British min
lister, Sir Claude M. Macdonald, visited
the Chinese foreign office on Tuesday
and lodged a strong protest against the
cession of Port Arthur to Russia, say
ing it would destroy the balance of
power in China. The Chinese officials,
however, declared their inability to
withstand the Russian demands. NJ.
Pavloff, the Russian charge d'affaires,
wished the cession to take place within
five days, in order to forestall the ar
rival of his successor, NJ. Speyer, but
China required longer time to con-
slider the matter and therefore the
negotiations were transferred to St.
Petersburg. Russia is still exerting
pressure to bring about the dismissal
of the British railroad engineers. The
Tsung-Li-Tamen referred the matter to
the director of railroads, who declared
their services to be indispensable re-

on account of the absence of Senator

New York, March 11.-A dispatch to

has informed the Canadian ministry Of
ficially that he has arranged a conven-
ton with the United States whereby the
Alaskan boundary dispute has been set

ton the British government has con-
ceded the claim of the United States
that the three marine leagues should
be measured from the shore of the main
land, and should proceed along the
shores of the inlets, which are thus rec
ognized as arms of the ocean, and not
as rivers.
The contention of the British and Of
the Canadian governments was that the
three-league limit should begin ON the
ocean side of the island and the delimi-
tating line should be run across the in
lets, and not follow their shores. These
inlets are numerous and extend into
the mainland great distance, and the
decision, therefore, is of much impor-
lance to the United States. The United
States has agreed to the British retain

bill printed on parchment Tuesday,
ready for formal enrolment, but it was
not anticipated that the bill would be
passed by the senate without debate.
The parchment copy therefore was still
at the government printing office when
the bill passed the senate and was re-
turned to the house. Mr.. Mckinney as
soon as he learned of the action of the
senate telephoned the government
printing office to hurry the bill to the
house by special mounted messenger.
At 1: 40 p. m. the speaker of the house
announced his signature to the bill.
The vice president put his name to the
measure at three o'clock, and it was
hurried to the white house by special
messenger.
Although the vice president signed
the bill after the senate had adjourned,
it is said his action is not without prece-
dent, although it is unusual.
The president at $40 p. m. set his
hand and seal upon the bill and thus
was closed one of the most remarkable
instances of prompt and patriotic ae~
ton on the part of the Legislative and
executive branches of the government
ever before recorded.

Spain shows Alarm.

Madrid, March II. - Political and
financial circles here now fully realize
that Spain is facing grave problem.
In view of the attitude of the United
States, it is understood the Spanish gov
eminent has completely changed it's
policy toward Cuba, and is now court
ing the cooperation of the Cuban consti-
tutional party, urging the maintenance
of the volunteers, and the pushing of
the campaign against the insurgents,
thus giving the military policy pre-
dominance over diplomacy. This
change is due to the fear that if the rcd
ical autonomists insisted upon the dis
armament of the volunteers or melted
the constitutionalists to disaffection a
conflict would supervene, "affording
the United States an opportunity for an
armed intervention"
