PLAN FOR new FIRE STATION
CHIEF DEvINE CoNsULTs FIRE
AND POLICE COMMITTEE.
Details His Ideas AS to How It
Should Be Arranged-Considers
Lot Trife to Small.

Chief Devine was present at meet
ing of the councils fire and police com
mittee last night. He came down to
discuss plans for the new fire station
in the Fourth precinct on 1 street, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets. This
location Chief Devine considers ideal,
so far as all practical purposes are con-
ceraed.
The only possible objection he has
is on the size of the lot which he
thinks is a trifie too small for the
building proposed. The chief wants to
put a steamer a truck and a hose
wagon in the structure, and in order
to accomplish this it wiH be necessary
to take up all of the lot. This would
make the delivery of hay and feed for
the horses very inconvenient, as traffic
wagons would have to be driven
through the station.
Chairman Howe said that he had
doubts about the ability of the city to
purchase a twelye-f0ot strip of land on
one side of the building for such pur-
poses. He Thought, however, that a
right of way could be secured that
would solve the problem. The COM
mittee took no action last night, con-
Guiding that it would be best to defer
a decision until some later date.

SIR THOMAS rs DISGUISED.
Wants Good Wind So That the
Whole Thing Nav Be Settled.

New York, Oct 19.-Before the Erin
left her moorings in the horseshoe to
steam out to the lightship, Sir Thomas
cast his weather eye skyward and gave
it as his opinion that there would be no
race.
MY experience over here" he said
"convinces me that winds from the
north or west do not hold. We shall
have a start, but not a finish. l am
sorry, too, for I had hoped to have a
good blow Then if we were beaten
there would be nothing left to say
Both racers had gone out from their
anchorages when the Erin got under
way, and the big steam yacht followed
them to the starting point while the
hundred or more guests breakfasted or
gathered on the decks and discussed the
chances of the day.
When the gun from the committee
boat announced that the time limit had
elapsed and that mo race was again
the verdict, the Erin steamed back to
the horseshoe and Sir Thomas guests
went home. Sir Thomas himself was
clearly tired of the whole affair. He has
been living aboard his boat in the
horseshoe for more than month with
but an occasional visit or shore.
Il WISH said he, that we could
have had good breeze and have set
tied the question one way or another"
Asked if he favored the suggestion
that two more races be sailed in the
event of the Columbia winning three
straight and the cup, Sir Thomas re-
piled in the affirmative, adding that it
might be a good plan. Said he:
Il am willing to stay a little longer
in order to get at least one more TRAN
gular race. and the chances of a race
in a stiff breeze. OF course, it would
have no effect on the possession of the
cup, which will go to Columbia if she
wins another race"

THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
Listens to Testimony BY Cleveland's
Former Law Partner.

Former Law Partner.
Washington, Oct. 19.-The industrial
commission today heard the testimony
of Mr.. Francis Lynde Stetson of New
York, former law partner of eX-Presi-
dent Cleveland. and Mr.. Ebert II.
Gary, president of the Federal Steel
company.
Mr.. Stetson. speaking on the general
question of corporation management,
advocated the fullest freedom of com
pact on the part of the corporations
and said that persons having business
with them should learn to inquire con-
corning their responsibility just as
they would in dealing with individuals.
He deprecated the tendency towards
pateTnalism in such matters and said
that legislation could not make bust
ness men of lunatics and paupers. Any
undue interference Of law with corpora
tions would inevitably have the effect
Of doing more harm than good.
Still. he believed that all stockholders
in any company were entitled TO know
who their co-owners We're, and for all
purely public corporations, such as rail-
road and insurance companies, he Sug-
gested general publicity.
Mr.. Gary explained at length the
organization OF the Fe6sral Steel COM
pany. which has an authorized capital
stock of 5000 COO, of which almost
S100,000000 has been issued. He ex-
planned that the stock iseued included
the actual book valuation of the prop
erty owned by the various plants. some
S45,000,O00; cash capital s10,00OO00 in
crease in value of property not repre-
scented on the books, s31, coo, coo; money
advanced by J. P. Morgan & Co.. bank
ers. who had financiered the consolida-
ton, $14,0oO.000- The remaining stock
had not been issued and would not be
for less thar par value in cash. Morgan
G. Co.. has received about 100000 for
their services in the transaction.
In reply to questions he said that the
company had never made any contri-
buttons to assist in political campaigns,
and the laboTers in the various com
panies were free to do as they might
please in the matter of nnliffcs

THE ALASKA MODUS VlvENDI
REPORTED THAT IT WILL BE
SIGNED TODAY.
The Maximum Claim of the United
States Has Not Been Maintained
The New Boundaries.

i
London, Oct. f9.-The British foreign
office asserts that the verbal changes
in the terms of the Alaska modus VII
yendi are of no practical importance,
and have been readily agreed to, and
that it is assumed the United States
secretary oS state, Colonel John Hay.
and the British charge d'affaires in
Washington will sign tomorrow.
Washington, Oct 19-Up to the close
of the state department this afternoon
nothing had been heard from London
respecting the Alaska modus vfven9i.
When the details Of the arrangement
are made public, which Will follow i'm
nedfately upon it's conclusion, it will
be found that nearly all of the attempts
made up to this point to describe the
new boundary line accurately were in
adequate in important respects. The
maximum claim of the United States is
not maintained. That was not to be ex-
pected in this arTan cement. which was
intended particularly to relieve the sit
uafion so far as the Dalton trail route
is concerned.
No attempt was made to establish a
claim to that territory lying between
the head of Chilkoot pass and White
pass and the lakes to the north. Ii
does not follow that the United States
has relinquished the extreme claim at
that point, but simply that by mutual
agreement, reached about two years
ago, the heads of these two passes were
recognized as marking points of a tenn
porary divisional line, without sacrific-
ingfthe permanent rights of either par
ty. This arrangement has been found
to work absolutely without friction, and
the present is not believed to be an OPP
perfume time to disturb it.
The point where the trouble threat
ened was on the Dalton trail, which, by
the way, is not directly on the Skagway
route, although a side trail does con-
meet the points, but is rather the nat
ural pathway from Pyramid Harbor
into the Klondike. The United States
government could scarcely contend at
this point that the boundary line was
to be defined by the prescribed zone of
thirty miles from the sea, for in this
section of the country there was an I'M
deniable mountain range. in which case
the treaty provided that this range
should fix the boundary.
Therefore. the new arrangement
draws a line from Chilkoot pass in a
direction a little south of west to a
mountain peak about ten miles west of
the Dalton trail. This line cuts across
the ChillSat river some distance above
the town of Kluwan, thus completely
cutting off the British possessions from
navigable waters. 1t also throws into
American territory a triangular section
gof the Porcupine country of consider
able extent, which was claimed by Can
ada, and which is now being prospect
ed by a number of American miners
who were driven out ofthe Atlin coun-
try by adverse British Columbian leg
islation.
Crossing this in the western section
is the lower, end of the Dalton trail, of
which the United States obtains pos
session, as well as its terminus, Pyra-
mid Harbor.
