A Bitter PHI.
London, Nov. 6.-News that Colenso
has been evacuated was another bitter

cant fact if that the war office does not
say when Colenso was evacuated, so
the statement which emanated' Thurs
day from DR.. Leyds, the diplomatic
representative of the Transvaal, who
is located at Brussels, that the Beers
had occupied Colenso, was possibly
true. There is much apprehension that
the war office is SURPRISING bad news.

THE AMERICAN POSITION.
John W. Fosters Summary Of the
Governments Case on the
Alaskan Boundary.
READ BEFORE GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.
History of the Negotiations Between
Russia and Great Britnin-Quotes
Canning n british Authority,
in Support of the United States
Claims.

Washington, Nov. 6.-EX-Secretary
of State John w. Foster, member of
the joint high commission to settle
differences between the United States
and Canada, has prepared summary
of this governments case on the Alas
kan boundary. 1t was read Friday
night before the American Geograph-
ical society.
Mr.. Foster reviewed the history of
the negotiations between Russia and
Great Britain, and showed that the
British only sought to prevent the ex-
tension of the Russian claims eastward
to the Rocky mountains. The British
government was then prepared to ac-
cept boundary line 100 miles from
the coast of the mainland. Great Brit
ain afterward succeeded in reducing
this strip to width of ten marine
leagues.
Russia permitted q ten-year license
to fish and hunt in the Estuaries, but
declined to make it permanent.
That license was terminated at the
end of the period, and Mr.. Foster says
is 1lSelI INCONSISTENT Wltu any lHtcI-
probation of the treaty other than the
complete sovereignty of Russia all over,
not only the strip of mainland, but all
the bays and inlets.
Mr.. Foster showed that in 1889 the
Hudson Bay company leased from the
Russian government, the very strip in
question, as shown by the Russian
maps, and in 1851 parliamentary com
mittee examining the head of the com.
pany, brought out the fact that Rus
sian sovereignty extended 80 nautical
miles inland following the indenta'
tons of the coast.
In 1878, he continued, provisional
boundary was established by the
United States at the crossing of the
Sticken river, which follows the pres
ent American contention, and In 1878
a criminal being tried and convicted
was released by Canadian courts be
cause his otfense was committed sir

Indicating that the Bocrs are not dis
posed to come to close quarters. On
the other hand. some people assert it
is more probable that the Beers are
recuperating prior to a fresh onslaught
on Ladysmith, as, according to the
latest news, after the artillery duel and
ineffective skirmish of Tuesday the
Beers took up good positions on Signal
hill and Umbulwani mountain.
The two commanders continue to eX-
change courtesies. Gen. White, in re-
Spouse to Gen. Joubert's request, Tues
day lent the Beers an ambulance to as
sist in the conveyance of the Boer
wounded.
1t is understood that the feeling of
security at Ladysmith has been great
ly increased since all the Natal guns
have been mounted there in spite of
the knowledge of the garrison of the
Beers strenuous efforts to cut the rail
road south.
Advices from Cape Town show that
hepeople thereare beginning to realize
the seriousness of the situation in
Natal. The merchants are apprehen-
sive of the Beers overrunning the en-
tire country, and it is reported that
many of them have instructed their
representatives to leave Pietermaritz-
burg.
In spite of the optimism of the mil
itary men, there is feeling of general
anxiety at Cape Town. The Orange
river is reported to be so swollen that
the drifts are impossible and the Beers
hold the wagon bridge at Philippolis,
which is the only means of crossing.

With the rise of the camera and the increasing desire of the people to sea what they are reading about. q new and great industry mas sprung uD in the United States. The dimensions Of that part Of the business which devotes itself to securing p.etures of public men and events are marvellous Ten years ago worse than poor wpod- cuts constituted the only means of placing before the reader the idea of the s2ene transpiring. To give faint Idea Of the change it may be remarked that at the White House the other day, when the final ceremony of ctns- Ing the war with Spain took nlace no less than three leading photoe- raphers were present. More, to the scandal of Minister Cambon and his fellow officials, the whole matter was delayed some minutes because the men at the machines were unable to pron- erly adjust their screens. It must mt be understood that the president ac- tually sat with pen in his hand or that Camben was held in the act of signing it to let the photographers catch up. But, nevertheless, tho whole affair was delayed some time in order that the American people might See Just what was happening.
 1t IS a common thing nowadays for the big magazines and newspapers to send expert photographers to Wash lngton for the express purpose of tak- Ing q series of snap shots of promi- nent United States senators and repre- sentatiyes and other celebrities of the national capital. At the same time standard views of the public build lngs, officers of the president and the various cabinet officers are taken in stock for use as future occasions may require. In fact, the library of modern newspaper is supposed to con tain photograph of practically every man and woman of prominence in this country, Europe. Asia and Africa, as well BIS special pictures of foreign capitals and others representing spe- cial views of private life at home and abroad
 To a woman belonged the honor of being the pioneer of this work Miss Frances Benjamin Johnson, of Wash ington, really began the business of developing photographs to such state of perfection and completeness as to have them used in place of pen and Ink sketches. Her pictures were first used In magazines as iilustra- tions for descriptive stories about ten or twelve years ago, and since then she has steadily improved in her ert until she Is now recognized as prob ably the best amateur photographer of portraits and interior house views in Washington. Her skill is perfected to such a high degree that when but one photographer is to be present during an important government function ahe is usually selected.
