pices Of the Belgian Medical Academy,

are believed to have met with sue
cess, and hopes are entertained that a
complete cure will shortly become an
accomplished fact
Both doctors who enjoy a high repu-
tation, deprecate publication, as they
say that the matter is still in an ex-
perimental stage. They also say that
experiments on lines similar to theirs
are being conducted in New Orleans.
DIR. RoQuette IS AZ years old. He was
born at Namur. DR.. Lapo Is a little
younger. He is professor of histology
and physiology in the State Veterinary
School. DR.. LapO makes experiments

their experiments more rapidly.
The publication of their work is
bringing hundreds Of letters from all
parts Of the world, especially New York
and Ireland. Many are from hospitals
and many from cancer patients pray
ing for salvation which they cannot
bestOw, their researches being far less
advanced than has been stated. They
have asked the Petit Bleu to publish d
notice TO that effect adding that it is
useless to send letters to which they
are unable to reply. Both are very
modest, each attributing to the other
the merit of the work and its possible
results. This strengthens the hope that
their efforts viii succeed.

NO SETTLEMENT
OF THE DISPUTE
Alaskan Boundary Yet
in Abeyance.

AND REFUSES TO ACCEPT THE
LINE PROPOSED.
The Northwest Territory Anxious for
an Outlet and Right Of Way
for Goods Which Uncle Sam
Will Not Concede.
Special Dispatches to The Cali.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, WELL
LINGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON,
June PA settlement of the Alaskan
boundary question by agreement to a
modus vivendi has been further de-
layed.. Secretary Hay received a dis
patch this morning from ambassador
Choate announcing that he had re-
ceived a note from the British Foreign
Office in answer to the proposition
submitted by the Government looking
to the location of the boundary line
just above the village of the KluckWan,
on the Dalton trail. This location was
unsatisfactory to the British Govern
ment, which desired that 1t should be
placed nearer the Lynn canal, but just
at what point the authorities are un-
willing to say.
1t is evident, however, that Canada
has shown the mother country her un-
willingness to surrender her claim to
a port on the Lynn canal, and that
Great Britain is endeavoring to assist
her to secure an outlet in that water
way from her great Northwest Terri
tory.
Should she fail in this aim the au-
thorities would not be surprised if a
proposition We're submitted, the adop-
ton OF which would give Canada a
right of way for her goods across
Alaskan territory. While the authori-
ties are anxious that a modus vivendi
should be entered into in order that
disorder may be prevented. I was told
to-day that, this Government would
certainly not agree to any deviation
from the line it had proposed. An
agreement has been reached as to the
location of the line on White and
ChilkOOt passes and il is hOped that
the controversy regarding it's location
on Dalton trail will be quickly settled.
There is no intention, however, of
giving Canada an outlet or a right of
way for her goods across American
soil.

SOME TRUSTS BENEFICIAL.
Among Those Are the Extensive Or

WASHINGTON, June 24-A c. True,

Referring to the probability of recon-

upon the subject of trusts, he asked
that the agricultural trusts be remem-
bered. Among the farmers organiza-

Terrorizes Her Neighbors.

Mrs. Mary Cunningham, 4213 Twenty
third street, who is credited by her neigh
bors with being a terror to them and their
children, was the complaining witness in
Mrs. Margaret Pease, a neighbor, whom
she charged with disturbing her peace.
After hearing the evidence the Judge dis
missed the case and severely censured
Mrs Cunningham for her conduct and
warned her that if she continued to an
noy her neighbors and she was brought
before him she would be sent to jail. She
has been in the Police Courts several
times within the past few months.

Caffrey's Will Legal.

frey, who died September %, 1896, leaving
property valued at about $50 900, insti-
tuted by his niece, Julia Shattuck, was
concluded before Judge Coffey yesterday
ents. 1t was alleged that the deceased
executed his will while under the in
fuence of Julia and John Caffrey and
Maurice l.. Asher, and was also mentally
incapable of making a legal will The
court however, decided that the will was
valid and refused to set aside the order
admitting 1t to probate.

announcing the arrival of the Newark at

sent around Cape Horn with the inten-
tion of dispatching her to Samoa, it is
not probable now that she will be or

the syndicate headed by Thomas Slavery, of
Wilmington, for *1O5. 900 The trustees at
Elkton, who effected the sale under the
authority of the Court, were notified Of the

sixty days from the date of the decision with
in which to file an appeal from the ratilca-
ton. In case an appeal is filed the ce Sc can
not again be taken up until the January ses-
sion OF the Maryland Court of Appeals
Should there be no appeal taken the syndi-
cate will upon complying with the terms of

that the Elkton mill will be run again at an
early date should there be no further liti-
CATION in the case.
