Washington, Aug. 90. In spite Of the
apparent Abandonment Of negotiations

ity of an official whose connection with
the boundary Questions has been con-
slant and confidential, that secret
agreement had been reached, as the re-
suit of which, atemporary arrangement
will be accomplished before congress
meets in December.
AS the result IF negotiations conduct
ed in the utmost secrecy, assurances
have been given the American commits
sioners, it is SAT-, that if they will allow
matters to rest until after the Canadian
election ia OCTOBER, temporary agree
ment will bo readily reached ID in sug-
gested that the basis Of the new modus
vivendi has beer skotched out and prac-
tically agreed Apon by the American
and Canadian commissioners. This
temporary arrangement, or modus vi
vendi, will provide first that the Cana
dams shall have the use of port on the
Lynn canal, Pyiainid harbor being tho
likely one. The arrangement will pro-

In his letter to the Attorney General on
the expulsion of his publications from the
mails. Mr. Atkinson disclaims d.sloyal mo-
tives, and says that his pamphlets contain
no seditious uttcrances. He adds that he
will continue TO use the mails for the cir
culation of his literature, deeming his ae-
ton in that respect not matter OF per-
mission, but of right.
If it were not for a disposition to deal
leniently with kindly old gentleman who
has been thrust to the front as the mouth
piece or catspaw of a coteTie of rsaction-
lists who dare not themselves come out in

Mr. Atkinson is a promising candidate for
the penitentiary. The contents OF his PAM
phlets have been published, for the most
part in the newspapers. In one OF them
he advises the youth of the land to refuse
TO enlist in the Army or Navy OF the
United States, and he encourages the Fill
pinos to insurrection when he affirms that
they have the power TO enter into interna-
tional relations, and may be recognized,
and rightly recognized, by other powers.
II this be not traitorous and ssditious
language. what is? II is plainly in viola
ton of the law which provides that every
person who incites, sets on foot, assists, or
engages in any rebellion against the au-
thority of the United States or CT the laws
thereof. or gives aid or comfort thereto,
shall be punished by Imprisonment not
more than ten years or by a fine of not
more than ten Thousand dollars, or both of

the Boston fanatics who threatened seces-

and who nine years later entered into a

If the public could be surprised at any
thing emanating from such source there
might be some disappointment over the
careful manner in which the well known
genesis of the canned roast beef" appears
to have been concealed. A great deal has
been alleged by authorities considered re-
liable on that matter. The nearly univer-
sal belief today is that canned roast beef
is nothing more or less than the meat pulp
from which all the nutriment has been
taken in the process of making beef eX-
tract. But on this point, as well as on all
others which in any way could offend the

This is fashion somewhat new. Four

There was time when the average

and the consequence was that the soup was
cold before they had half finished. Just
