It had been a clear. pleasant day, with a good deal of warmth in the sunshine, although autumn was now far advanced; but as the evening came on the air grew chilly and the brisk otf-shore breeze took on d touch of the approaching winter With turned-up coat-collar and hands buried in my pockets, I stepped out hrisllly on the tramp homeward, rather reconciled at the moment to the slen- derness of practice which guaranteed me an undisturbed evening" With book and pipe and an easy-chair, and a bright fire, several hours could be passed very delightfully."-, with the stiff breeze whistling through the tree-tops and signaling warnings to good folk within doors to keep snugly under GOV CT. Just at this point in my reflections there came fierce gust which almost sent me staggering back. My hat, torn from my head. went seward, spinning like a top in what might have been a baby whirlwind. I ran after it at my best gait, sometimes losing ground and sometimes gaining, only to see the gust with impish perversity sweep it from my very grasp.

Had the master of the house on the knoll been other than he was, this latest precaution might have served to excite suspicion that his mind was beginning to give way under the de- pressing influences of his manner of existence.

A REPORT WITHOUT TRUTH
That an Agreement on the Alaska Boun-
dairy Had Been Reached.
Denial by the British Ambassa dor
ana by Sir Wflfrid Laurier, the
Canadian Premier.

1t is said at the State Department that
the reports that Great Britain and the
Cnied States have signed treaty for the
settlement Of the Alaskan boundary dis
pute. are incorrect, no treaty having been
signed as yet, and the matter still being
a subject of negotiation. The department
will say nothing regarding the details from
ottawa as to an agreement that the
boundary line shall be computed from the
shore line. following it in all its sinuosities.
and that the tops Of mountain peaks shall
mark the limits of American territory. but
1t is intimated that the Ottawa reports are
a little strained.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
oassador, through his secretary, Mr..
O'Beirne, also authorized a complete and
special denial of the reported perfection of
treaty. No convention of any character.
ne said, had been made, and the details
given, he said, therefore were erroneous
as whole and in detail.
In the house of commons after an ALL
nieht session. early this morning Sir
Cnaries upper read copy of a dispatch
telegraphed from here to New York
paper, and transmitted back to Ottawa.
stating that the Canadian ministry had
been notified that conclusion had been
arranged whereby the Alaskan boundary
dispute had been settled.
Sir 1ifrid Laurier, the premier stated
That there was not word of truth in thu
story.
Sir Charles Upper suggested that the
house should take action to prevent the
sending out OF false reports to newspapers.

NEW YORK, March f1-Frac,ional i'm
provement in the London market was
passed over as an incentive in the local
arket, frregularity and heaviness being
the most conspicuous features of the DAY.
Liquidation was in progress in certain in
f1uential circles, and on all sides the market
showed WEAKNESS with waiting for good
news.
The probabilities. moreover, were con-
strued to be favorable to lower prices as a
condition precedent to higher ones. There
was little that was definite in the days
news, but the impression is gaining ground
that decisive developments are likely to
occur prior to the middle of next week
This expectation is based on nothing more
substantial than the fact that the court of
inquiry will have done all that is possible
in it's efforts to locate the cause of the
Names explosion.
Many stocks have declined over ten per
cent since the beginning of the present
Spanish crisis, and yea few of them have
attracted especial attention by their weak
ness on any particular day. That liberal
declines have come about without panics
In financial disturbances of any kind is
one OF the strongest commentaries on the
inherent stability of the general market.
The market has no buying power behind
IT except such as comes from the covering
VI SuoTt COntIdctS. Inc opinion is almost
unanimous that great opportunity for
buying is being created, but few regard the
process as being completed.
The decline today was as deliberate as
one of its proportions could well be, but
there was practically but one direction to
the activity. Throughout the list conces-
sions varying from Il to 2 per cent were
general at the close of the noon hour.
The annual report of the American Sugar
Company was responsible for some conf
dent dealings in the shares of that COM
pany during the forenoon. The figures SUBJ
mitted, while covering accounts in which
ali details were carefully eliminated or
concealed, demonstrate very strong finan-
cial condition. The report, like many of
the best everts of the week could not over
come the dominant tendency of prices
A good demand for American Tobacco
was noticeable during the morning, strong
inside interests buying the stock for pur-
poses not wholly disclosed.
The traction shares and the granger
group were both active, prices decreasing
in proportion to the volume of business.
The days net results were substantially
lower, the market closing rather weak.
Inability to sustain its own weight was
apparent, the declire not being forced by
any special effort.
Washington and Havana are looked 10
for incentive and until the former center
sends out something definite buying will
be novelty in Wall street. A great deal

this way it would have been amusing; but
several thousand people were talking and
thinking the same way. Other warships
may come and their enthusiasm will grow.
The object lesson meant to be given by
ing the effect.
The United States is not so fortunate in
giving object lessons. If the Montgomery
is safe in Havana from submarine mines
or torpedos. the Columbia the Indiana
would be equally safe. The Havana popu-
lace could never realize there is an Ameri-
can navy until it sees that navy.
The volunteers are keeping quiet this
week They are foremost in showing their
joy over the Vizclya and the OqIendo, but
Trey ave not threatening in their demon
stratiOn. 1t is not necessary. They have
settled back into a calm like that which
followed the January riots, in which they
jo.red the army officers in showing au-
tonomy was failure. Having carried their
point. then they ceased rioting. The vol
unteers, having achieved their object by
securing the official statement that the
government does not intend to disarm
them. will be tranquil for awhile. Some
people think this is good sign. Those who
have lived in Havana a long time do not.
They believe the volunteers to be the
most dangerous element in Cuba today
dangerous alike to Blanco and to the
United States. Their power for evil can
only be represscd by the exhibition of
mightier power for the preservation of
lives and the maintenance of order.

ARE READY FOR DUTY.
Retired Naval Officers Have Notified
the Secretary.

the Secretary.
In anticipation of an outbreak of hostili-
ties between the United States and Spain
many naval officers on the retired list have
notified the Secretary of the Navy of their
desire and readiness to perform any duty
in the line of their profession that he may
deem suitable for them. There seems to be
considerable Misrepresentation Non the part
of the general public as to the availability
Of officers on the retired list for active
duty in times Of war. Section 1462 of the
Revised Statutes bearing on this subjec.
provides as follows:
mo officer on the retired list of the
navy shall be employed on active duty
except in time Of war;
Under this section it is apparent that
If war should break out all officers on the
retired . list competent to serve will be
subject to the orders Of the Secretary
of the Navy. Another statute bearing on
this subject is contained in sections 1i63
and 1894, as follows:
I'm time of war the President, by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate,
may detail officers on the retired list for the
command of squadrons and single ships
when he believes that the good of the
service requires that they shall be so plac-
ed in command. In making said details
the President may select any officer not
below the grade of commander and assign
him to the command of a squadron with
the rank and title of flag officer, and any
officer SO assigned shall have the same
authority and receive the same obedience
from the commanders of ships of his squad
ron holding commissions of an older date
that he would be entitled to receive if
his commission was the Oldest.
1t thus appears that the President has
power to assign retired officers of the navy
to duty during the progress of war, but that
he can only assign them to the command.
OF squadrons or ships by and with the ad-'
vice and consent of the Senate.
There are many officers on the retired
list in the full enjoyment of health and
mental vigor, despite the fact that they are
over sixty-two years of age, whose ability
ard experience would undoubtedly be of
great advantage to the nation in case it
proved necessary to go to war in the de-
tense of its honor and dignity. Notable
among these Is Rear Admiral John G.
Walker. recently retired for age, and now
engaged on special duty President of the
Nicaragua canal commission.
By many he is regarded the best
equipped flag officer in the United States
lazy and there is no doubt that his serv-
cese of necessity. In the event of the re-
Of the North Atlantic squadron on account
Of mis- health, which has become some
what impaired of late. it is more than prob
able that the President would detail Ad-
miral Walker for that command Such a
detail Is, Of course, contingent On the ex-
istence Of a state of war.

fer sending q detachment Of ninety marines
to Philadelphia next Tuesday for duty on
the cruisers Minr eapolis and Columbia,
which vessels go into commission on that
day. The marines will be divided in equal
numbers between the two vessels-forty-
five to each. Lieut.. B. H. Fuller will have
comm and Of the marines on the Column
bia and Lieut.. E. r. Lowndes command Of
those on the Minneapolis.
The colonel commandant has received an
order from the Navy Department for the
enlistment of AS men to be formed into
two battaliCns and prepared to move on
short notice. The order also authorizes the
purchase Of tents and other necessary
equipments suitable for soldiers in the
field. Many of the recruits will be sta
toned at the marine barracks in this city
to replace those transferred to the Mime
apolis and Columbia The new enlistments
will bring the total enlisted strength of the
Marine Corps up to $500.
No Wnrships Secured by Spain.
An officer of the administration known
to be in the confidence of the President is
authority for the statement that the Unit
ed States has no. yet purchased any war
ships building in foreign countries, AMI
also that Spain has not secured any addi-
tional warships In that way. He is also
responsible for the statement that Spain
is not likely to secure any ships by pur-
chase or otherwise, for the reason that
that country ha, no fIrds available for
that purpose. This latter statement is i'm
portant, inasmuch as 1t practically dis
poses of the theory that Spain recently
borrowed large amount Of money, esti-
mated at $4O,OOO,O 600.
Negotiations are proceeding for the pur-
chase Of the Brazilian cruiser Amazonas
and her sister ship, the Barbozo, by the
Urited States but, SO far as the Navy De-
partment is advised, have not yet been
closed.
Increasing the Marines.
The House naval committee today placed
in the naval bill provision for an increase
In the number of naval marines Of Alb.
This increase has been especially asked
for by the Secretary of the Navy, and was
not included in the regular recommended
tons. This brings the total number OF
marines up to 3,073.
Instructions to Bureau Chiefs.
Secretary Long has addressed a letter to
the assistant secretary Of the navy, the
colonel comnandant Of the Marine Corps
and each of the bureau chiefs Of the Navy
Department follows:
Sir: Under the emergency appropriation
of $4,000, 600 made Wednesday you will in
cur no expense or liability except after
written statement and estimate made by
you and approved by the President and

A special record must be kept of every
Such requisition. If any such liability or
expense has been incurred by you by oral
direction, make such written statement
and estimate and submit it at once for such
approval BY order Of the President. Very
respectfully,
