AMERICA HAS A GOOD CASE
Reasons why She win Not Arbitrate the
Alaskan Boundary Dispute.

Reasons Why She Win Not Arbitrate the
Alaskan Boundary Dispute.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Inasmuch as
the Canadian officials have laid stress
upon the refusal Of the United States
to accept fair arbitration of the Alaskan
boundary question, the reason for re-
fusal was given today by high official.
In the first place, our government, it
is contended, is absolutely certain of the
soundness of it's claims regarding the
boundary. That would seem good rea-
son for submitting the matter to arbitra-
ton on the ground that good cause had
nothing to fear from arbitrators, but this
government holds that arbitrators are
almost all subject to the fatal weakness
of compromising. In our case com
promise would amount to the loss Of
our whole contention, for once Canada
is admitted to the Lynn canal, we
would be deprived of the only weapon
which we now possess for the protec
tion of our miners going into the Klon
dixie, from extortion and perhaps ex-
pulsion.

Violence Likely Mt Storm Lake.

DEs MONIES, Ia, July 25.-The Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and Min
neapolis and St. Louis roads have forces
OF track layers face to face, fighting for
right Of way through the town of Storm
Lake. Both roads are building new
lines into the town. The Minneapolis
and ST. Louis got right of way first and
three weeks ago its rival hastily built a
line across this line. The court en-
Joined this and ordered its removal,
which was accomplished. Yesterday
the Milwaukee, in violation of the in
functions, put men to work again to re-
lay the line. Both roads rushed forces
to the scene and work is suspended, the
forces watching each other and a clash
is seriously threatened. Both threaten
to use force if necessary.

Ingersoll's Spirit at a seance.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, July 25.-Five
thousand people attended the Zoo park
Spiritualist camp meeting to hear Mrs.
Cora L. Y. Richmond deliver an adj
dress under the control of Robert G..
Ingersoll. Mrs. Richmond addressed
the audience as Colonel Ingerson and
described the sensation experienced in
dying. The spirit said that the other
life was yet great mystery, but that
no moment Of Inconsistencies inter-
vened at death. In passing out of the
body there was no pain, but quick
ened sensation, as though delirium had
resulted from illness. The spirit had
already discovered that each soul enters
into an inheritance of his thoughts and
deeds in this life Immediately at death.
There was no escaping this law of com
pensation and retribution. Whatsoever
is sown in this world must be reaped in
the next is the message which Mrs.
Richmond delivered from Colonel In
gersoll.
The address lasted about half an hour
and closed with statement that speak
ing through new instrument and Or
ganism was not easy nor safe for the
medium. The style of address was
clear and sometimes elegant, but the
language did not suggest Colonel Inger-
soils rhythmic, resonant eloauence.
Mrs. Richmond's reputation as an in
spirational speaker was injured by her
performance.

formed the article, and the Americans
lasted several hours. Efforts are being
made to find a suitable word to substi-
tute for "duty" which will meet the
wishes of the American delegates with
out weakening the purport of the article.
