Of commons with tho intention OF getting
some inkllng Of the governments inten-
lions. A reply Of the parliamentary sec
rotary OF the war office George wyud-
ham, yesterday evening is considered por-
tontously significant. He was questioned
as to the truth OF the statement that the
British garrison in South Africa was to
be gradually increased to 10000 men Had
the government wished to make paclfica-
tory answer with tho view of allaying the
Anxiety here and at the Cape, the ques
ton offered an ample opportunity; but Mr.
Wyndham replied in two woris-"No, sir"
The truth is that whatever plans the
government has decided on, the ministers
regard It as impolitic to contradict re-
ports, however extravagant, Of its warlike
intentions, because OF reverberations.
These reports can not fail to produce at
Pretoria an effect which 1t would be fool
ish to impair, by hasty denlals or ratifca-
lions. AT the same time daily--almost
hourly-telegrams are arriving announc-
ing energetic preparations in South Africa
for all contingencies,
While it is not true that General Sir
Roderick Buffers has already been APP
pointed to an expedition there is no doubt
he will make big bid for the command
He has been heard to remark in private
conversation that he reserved himself for
a "go" at the Beers to repay some old
grudges
In any case, the patience of everybody
is RAPIDLY becoming exhausted, and the sit
uatlon is daily getting more intolerable,
In fact, it has become so dangerously
acute that it must be speedily ended or
nended

ANOTHER WAY
To Settle Alaskan Boundary Without
Arbitration or War.

New York. July PA Herald special
from Washington says:
There will be neither war nor arbi-
tration over the Alaskan boundary dis
pute. 1t will be settled by amicable
agreement between the United States
and Great Britain, one nation making
concessions on this question in return
for concessions by other on some other
question t issue between the two gov
ernments."
This is the view expressed by an Off
cial having much to do with the pend
ing negotiations. Referring to Sir VIII
frid Laurier's speech in the Canadian
house of commons, in which the Cana
dian premier declared there were only
two ways by which the difficulty could
be characterization or War-the Of
fetal said Significantly:
Sir Wilfrid Laurier is merely stating
to the Canadian parliament the recOg-
nized methods by which civilized ma
lions settle controversies There are
three methOds-first, by mutual agree
ment; second, by a resort to arbitration
and third, by war. Sir Wilfrid has neg
lected to mention the first and most i'm
pOrUanC OF these methods. 1t is reCOg-
nized by the administration that the
boundary question is difficult one as
are other questions pending between
Canada and the United States but it
was not regarded as impossible of ad-
justment in some way satisfactory to
the American miners and the Canadian
government as well as the United
States and Great Britain. Some of the
questions at issue are more or less in
dependent and it was intimated to me
that there was reason to hope a final
settlement of the boundary controversy
might grow out Of this relation between
the pending questions"
1t is felt by officials of the admins
tratiOn generally that while it may
take time and the exercise of consider
able patience to work out a final solu-
ton of all the pending questions such a
solution will ultimately be reached in a
neighborly spirit and without any clash
or serious straining of relations be-
tween the two nations

OUR SILVER STATUE.
Colorado Wants to Know About
Poor Deserted "Justice."

Mayor Drew has received the follow
ing communication which is calling for
more than he can answer:
Denver, July 20.
ITO the Honorable Mayor of Topeka:
MY Dear Sir:-In a communication
recently received from Butte City, Mon,
1 am informed that the celebrated sill
yer Statue Of Montana which was at
the Worlds Fair in Chicago, is stored
away in your city VIII you in letter
addressed to me personally, give me all
the infOrma ton you can concerning this
matter. Was the statue abandoned;
was it proven to be a plated sham as
has been charged; who now owns 1t and
what could it be bought for: who con-
trOIled it when it was left in Topeka;
do you know anything Of Frank d.
Higbee of New York. who at one time
onmanaged it's exhibit? If so what
do you know of him2
Il trust you will endeavor to answer
these questions as explicitly as possible.
for by so doing you will be rendering
the state of Colorado a valuable service
and will highly appreciate your kind
ness. Awaiting yous esteemed reply,
am very respectfully yours,
(Signed)
''Vice President of Col Paris Elk. COM
The statue at present is quietly repos-
ing among the cob webs and dust in the
cellar of Barnums store oblivious to its
past greatness. Sam Barnum Is re-
ceiver, but has deserted the image Of
the fair Ada. Rehan and has gone to the
wilds of Oklahoma. Ada. Rehan posed
for the wonderful statue-so it is said.
She stands on the top Of a globe hold
ing a pair Of scales and a sceptre Of
justice.
But all of this makes no difference
to the statue. First Owner Higbee de-
serted her and left for New York Sam
Barnum was given charge of the silver
statue supposed to be worth a fortune.

Is the statue a sham2 How could it
be when it was so closely guarded while
on exhibition in Chicago and had sew
eral followers while going round the
country on exhibition, until it went into
the hands of a receiver and is now
packed away in a basement. "a solid
mass of silver" that is the way the ad-
vertisements read but some have been
rude enough to say that if it was sold
at a junk shop it would bring so much
a pound.

Small Boys.

Several Fights In Which the
Participants Are Hurt.

Spider Hoppersall had not been re-
leased from the city prison over three
hours on the charge of a misdemeanor
before he was wanted for a felony.
About II o'clock Saturday night he
and several boys were playing around
First and Adams streets when Hopper
sail began quarreling with Frank Ew-
ing, the 14-year-old son Of Joseph Ew-
ing. Hoppersau was the smaller of the
two and was getting a little the worst
Of the fight when he drew a pocket
knife and stabbed young Ewing on his
right side between his lower ribs. The
wound was about two inches deep and
bled profusely. The injured boy was
taken to his home and a physician call
ed. The wound is painful but not
thought to be dangerous.
The police started in pursuit of
spider and after several hours of
hunting they decided he was we'll
named. Small and thin, 10 years old
and small enough to hide in wash tub
it was a hard matter for the police to
find him. They did not but Sunday
morning the culprit was marched into
the police station by a man who met
him out near Racket Hill" and who
knew he was wanted for the crime.

GOT THEIR CLOTHES.
How the Police Captured a Party of
Indiscreet Bathers.

Many complaints have been made to
the chief of police about boys in swim
ming near the Santa Fe bridge with
no more clothes than a good coat of
tan.
Saturday afternoon Oficers Bundy
and Lucas went down to the swimming
hole about 5 o'clock. There were Is
heads bobbing around like so many
cOrks on the surface of the dirty water.
Come out of that" yelled Bundy
after he and Lucas had collected all
the clothes on the bank into one pile.
Cops" yelled the first one who saw
the star on the officers coat and he
dived
Nav. we don't come out Come in
and get u.s." yelled another. It was
good joke and met the approval of the
rest of the crowd. The swimmers were
enjoying themselves but one by one
they wanted to go out on the bank and
there were the officers with their clothes.
When they were all marched to the sta
ton, with the exception Of one who
swan across to the north bank of the
river, there We're IA moppy looking
heads lined up in front of the jailer's
high desk. The names given were Willie
White, Tom Kuykendall, John Hender-
son, Robt. Roth James McGivern,
Henry Hewitt. Fred Addie, George
White, Fred Jones, Adam Snyder, Fred
Johnson, Alex Butt. Fred CaybelI and
Frank Wallace.
Officer Henderson had been watching
for boys in swimming closer than even
a fond mother waits on the bank
with a long willow rod. The day be-
fore he arrested one and sent him I'D
to the station. The boy was something
of a lawyer and argued that he was
swimming after it was so dark that it
didn't make any difference. He was re-
leased so Officer Henderson looked for
more. He caught Fred HoppersaIl
better known as Spider" and w. Stan
ton They were booked and released to
appear and stand trial I'll bet they
was swimming in daylight" muttered
the officer
Nav. we wus in de water" said one
of them.
