VIII Likely Investigate Artist Bent
helms Story.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The officials
of the state department have been much
interested in the remarkable story of the
artist Bentheim at Atlanta, of his con-
nection with the German secret service,
The point in his narrative that particular
ly attracts attention at the state depart
ment Is the allegation that the United
States deputy and vice consul at Sonne-
burg has been serving as a German agent
to convey secrets relative to war ma
terials to the French government and
that he has used the United States con-
sulate and the official letter heads and
envelopes Of the consulate to further his
ends.
The records of the department show
that Alvin FlorschultZ was appointed vice
and deputy United States consul at Son.
neberg in 1888. He has been connected
with the banking business in the town,
and resigned the place of cashier of one
of the largest banks to accept the posi-
ton in the consulate. His record is ex-
ceptionally good. When the consulate
was removed from Sonneberg to Coblenz,
Florschultz went along. He has given
satisfaction at every point, and has fire.
quently discharged the duties of consul
during the absence of that official. He
still holds his place. Inquiry made into
the accuracy of the detailed statements
made by Bentheim appears to confirm
most of them. His claim that he was
a soldier in the Two Hundred and Second
New York regiment, and discharged in
Washington is borne out by the war de-
partment records. Notwithstanding this,
the officials of the state department dis
credit Bentheims statement, though now
that they have been given such publicity
1t may be found expedient to quietly in
vestigate the matter.

Boundary Question Practically Ad-

Secretary Hay Conveys Details
to the President, Who Is Greatly
Pleased - Interests of American
Miners VIII Be Protected.
WASHINGTON, Sept 5.-Great Britain
and the United States have practically
agreed upon a temporary line defining
the boundary between Alaska and Can
ada Negotiations now in progress re,
late only to minor questions growing out
of the definition of the line. One of the
unsettled questions relates to the status
of mines owned by Americans, which
may lap over into territory which has
been under the control of Canada. Rep
resentatives of American mine owners
say that it would be unfair to American
miners If no provision should be made
for them in case their property should
lie half on the American and half on
the Canadian side of the line The pros
pective settlement of the boundary ques-
ton is due to concessions made hot only
by Great Britain, but by this govern
ment also. Secretary Hay has won in the
matter of excluding Canada from the
Linn canal. but port Of entry on the
canal will be given should the final set
tlement fail to give Canada permanent
harbor. The secretary has also been sue
cessful in keeping the British to the north
Of the village Of Kluckwan, though, 1t Is
said, he has agreed to the placing of the
line just above the village, instead Of
four miles beyond as originally de-
handed
Secretary Hay laid the late correspond
ence in the controversy before the cab
met at its session today and considerable
satisfaction with it was expressed. 1t Is
expected that the modus vivendi will be
settled in a few days, unless Canada
should again assume a hostile attitude,
and her present attitude is concilIatory.

SOME SLIGHT CONSOLATION.

No doubt Mr.. and Mrs. Albrecht, or
Eichenwald street, on their return from
the celebration of German day on Sun
day evening, must have celt, when they
found their home ransacked from garnet
to cellar by burglars. and every portable
article of value carried away, that as
an American executive officer Andrew II.
Kiefer is perhaps something less OF
success than he is as a German patriot
and orator.
Ii Mayor Kiefer had taken the pains
to be closely informed of the progress Of
local criminal events, he would have
learned, before starting to sound the
praises of German nationality on Sun
day morning. that crimes of violence
were still in progress in this community,
and that no fewer than three such crimes
had been committed on the evening be-
fore, two of them being burglaries and
the third highway robbery. The two
first were committed in broad daylight,
the last mentioned in the very heart of
the most populous resident section Of the
city.
1t would, perhaps, be a little too much
to expect that Mayor Kiefer was inform
ed at that time of the determination Of
the burglars operating in this community
to keep their reputation untarnished up
to date, since the relations between the
mayor and the chiefs of his police de-
partment are greatly strained. But, if he
had consulted his chief of police by bre-
vet, Inspector McIntire, he would have
found out just how matters stood, since
Mr.. McIntire has taken pains to inform
himself of the facts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Albrecht will possibly
take some slight qualification from the
fact, when they are made aware of it,
that the raid on their home was only a
continuance of those which are provided
for with regularity by our local supply
of burglars and highway robbers. If that
lady and gentleman happen to be per-
sonally acquainted with Lieut.. Ernest
Boerner, their unhappy experience may
be further mitigated by the reflection
that, when Mayor l<iefer finds the way
entirely clear, his selection of new chief
of police is likely to lie between that very
Industrious and thrifty officer and Mr..
McIntire, thus giving a degree of conf
dence to at least enc class in the commune
ty which they have not had, that matters
will now be conducted with something
more of security than they have hereto
fore been.
While the householders of st. Paul are
preparing for the coming changes in the
police department, which will be made
just as soon as political conditions are
thought favorable, they must not be I'M
duly exacting. If the expected burglaries
and hold-ups happen, they may be assured
that those are not the only directions in
which criminal activity is maintained.
Gambling and confidence games are still
played, Notwithstanding the mayor s
grand performance in the policy line. The
town, in a word without being techni-
cally wide open. is in state of genuine
activity; and an examination Of the cast
Of countenances which one observes on
certain street corners gives all necessary
assurance that the burglars and high
way robbers are far from having a mo-
nopoly of criminal activity in st. Paul.

SHOWING THEIR HAND.

The somewhat elaborate statement con-
the methods of government in the recent
Spanish possessions which will receive
the presidential sanction Is, beyond all
question, put forward as a feeler Of pub
lie opinion by the imperialist administra-
ton.
In one respect at least that statement
of preference or intention, as 1t may be
regarded, possesses some Importance 1t
outlines the form of government which
will be adopted for the Philippines when
the present armed disagreement is set
tied by the destruction of Aguinaldo and
his followers. It will be observed before
hand that it is contemplated. according
to this statement, to confer territorial
government on the Hawaiian islands and
on the island of Porto Rico. Such is not
the course to be pursued toward the
| Philippines No; our Malay subjects are
| to be governed by a commission, we arc
| told This, however is only for time
| But why is the exception made? We are
not left to our wits to secure an answer.
| Because, we are gravely informed, 1T is
aprehended that it will be several years
| before the philippine islands are ripe
for the territorial form Of government"
This is a bit palmer than the late
| speech of the president, although there is
the same miserable indirectton in the
one case as in the other. There is no
frank and manly announcement that it
it is the intention ultimately to brina
| these Islands and their inhabitants under
| the operation of our constitutional sys-
tenn. No That would not accord with
the methods of the imperialists. They
are feeling their way. When their plans
| the sentiment of the American people
they will go forward or recede as best
COMFORTS with their political prospects,
| There can now be but little doubt as to
the ultimate purpose. Strong as has
| been the opposition to the suspected poll
| cies Of the fmperialists, it must hence
forth grow even stronger and more out
| spoken. There is no longer any doubt
Every one of the former Spanish islands.
including Cuba, will be incorporated in
| the territory of the United States unless
| the people show their determination to
bring the existing conspiracy to an end.
1t is the policy of exploitation we are
about to enter upon-"e Establishing our
selves in 1t by force, and pocketing the
money that we can raise" as the policy
was once defined by an English writer.
The success or failure Of this policy
must now rest upon the shoulders Of the
people of the United States. We believe
1t can never be made a popular policy.
| The first contest made on the issue of
this policy has been decided adversely to
it. There will be many such contests in
! the congressional elections of 1900 It is
upon that issue these elections will DO
| decided; and unless the Democracy of
the country has not lost it's senses in the
interval, it is around that policy that the
