Agreement as to Alaska.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Mr. Tower,
British charge here, called at the state
department. today and notified Secre-
tary, Hay of the formal acceptance by
his government of the proposition for
q temporary adjustment of the Alaska
boundary line proposed by Secretary
Hay.
The state department. is confident it
has conserved American interests in
the matter, without unjustly treating
Canada. The divisional line, bounded
on the west by the Dalton Srail, is
placed % n miles above Pyramid har-
Dor, which is regarded under the treaty
as a tidewater mark, SO the Canadians
are not allowed to reach any point on
Lynn canal. Moreover, there is no
permission for a free transfer across
American territory of Canadian goods,
except miners belongings. These
matters may figure later, when it comes
to y permanent boundary line, but they
are not touched upon in this modus.

Hahn said he was coming to Lebanon

he has not arrived here. The feeling
at Sweet Home is bitter against him.

Battle of E1and,s Laaeto,

''The battle was brilliant, COM

from 1900 to 2,000, and probably had
about 100 killed and 100 wounded.
The fight itself was like practical
illustration of handbook tactics, each
arm represented doing it's proper work
to perfection.
The Gordon Highlanders, in their
attack. advanced in magnificent order.
They-were Immediately saluted with a
heavy fire, which told from the first.
Their major fell with bullet in his
leg, but as he lay where he fell, he lit
pipe and smoked placidly while the
advance continued. AS man after man
dropped, supports were rushed into the
firing line, our men darting from cover
to Cover, splendidly led and ever ad-
vancing. Yet, as ridge after ridge was
won, the Highlanders still found a new
ridge confronting them, and thus they
fought their bleeding way until the
final ridge was neared, with nearly
every officer down.
Then, slamming every available
man into the firing line, Manchester,
Deyons and light horse all mixed, with
bugles chanting the advance, bagpipes
shrieking and the battle confused
surge, our men swept yelling forward
and the position was won.
Meanwhile, squadrons of lancers
and dragons Tapped round the Boer left
flank, catching the enemy as they re-
tired in order, goring and stamping
them to pieces. And the commando

Strike Cannot Be Averted.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. pa Great
Northern official said today that the
conclusion had been reached by the
road that strike could not be averted.
Higher officials will not talk, but the
wholesale merchants have been prob
ing into the situation, and their reports
confirm the statement that the Great
Northern is likely to witness the most
effective tie-up ever experienced in the
West. The jobbers will lose thousands
of dollars per day, and are anxious to
head off a strike. The recent order
making conductors responsible for dam.
age to their trains is the last straw.
Every organization is involved, and
every trainman, from conductor down,
including telegraphers, will go out il
the strike is ordered.

TRANSPORTATION INADEQUATE.
Rates Are Moving Up and Have Bearing
ON Export Trade.

ON Export Trade.
Bradstreet's says: More nearly, per-
haps, than ever before, does the volume
of general trade and industry tax exist
ing transportation facilities handling
the same. From nearly all parts of the
country, but particularly from the
West and South, come reports of car
scarcity. Some of this congestion
seems to be the result of diversion of
traffic ordinarily carried on by water
routes to already crowded railroads.
The inability of present transportation
facilities to cope with the existing situ-
alton is, however, not confined to do
nestle trade lines. From both coasts
of this country come reports of insult
ficient tonnage offering to handle goods
seeking foreign outlet, and freight
rates are considerably higher than they
were q year or more ago. This latter
feature, in fact, is one which may have
important effects upon our foreign trade
during the balance of the year.
With few notable exceptions prices
continue strong. A number of lines
have advanced quotations, while the
great body of staple articles manifest
all their old firmness. Some weakness
in wheat prices is directly traceable to
higher freight rates because of the
partial closing of the door to relief
from growing domestic stocks.
Raw wool is firmer and even higher
on better demand at the East, some
heavy speculative transactions being
reported.
The strength of lumber is apparently
undiminished.

Four men from the gunboat Marivelos

maker, chief of the revenue cutter
service, received from Lieutenant Jar
Wis brief report, dated st. Michael,
Alaska, September 80, on the recent
trip of the revenue cutter Bear to Point
Barrow, in the course of which he says:
AT Cape Nome are some 1900 peo-
pie, with the possible addition of from
500 to 1000 from Yukon river points.
1 think there will be ample accommo-
dations for all desiring to go out, and
also sufficient provisions for those who
remain. Typhoid fever is prevalent,
but the coming cold weather is ex-
pected to check it.
Good order is maintained. but
there is lawless element it is desired
to get rid of before the winter closes,
and l will cooperate with the military
authorities and the United States mar
shall to that end. There is also a large
number of sick and INDECENT whom it
will be necessary to take away on the
Bear to prevent suffering. The Bear is

4 BIG BATTLE WITH BOERS'
British Rout Kruger's Troops
at Glencoe.
EIGHT HOURS HARD FIGHTING
Surprised the British Camp by Open
ting Fire with Artillery.

Glencoe Camp, Oct. 23.-After
eight. hours of continuous heavy fight
ing, Dundee hill was carried by the
Dublin fusileers and the Kings Royal
rifles, under cover of a well-directed
artillery fire by the Thirteenth and
Sixty-ninth batteries. The Boers, who
threatened the British rear, have re.
tired.
The fight was almost an exact coun-
terpart of that of Majuba hill, except
that the position of the Boer and Brit
ish forces were reversed. General
Symons was severely, but not danger
cously wounded.
The battle today was brilliant sue
cess. The Beers got a reverse which
may possibly, for q time at any rate,
check all aggressive action. The Brit
ish artillery practice in the early part
of the day decided the battle.
The seizure of Dundee hill by the
Beers was surprise; for, although the
pickets had been exchanging shots all
night, it was not until shell doomed
over the town into the camp that their
presence was discovered. Then the
shells came fast. The hill was posi-.
lively alive with the swarming Beers
till the British artillery got to work
with magnificent energy and precision.
Directly the Boer guns ceased firing,
General Symons ordered the infantry to
pnove on the position. The infantry
charge was magnificent. The way the
Kings Royal rifles and the Dublin fu-
sileers stormed the position was one OF
the most splendid sights ever seen.
General Symons was wounded early
in the action, and the command then
deyolved on Major Yule.
The enemy as they fed, were fol-
lowed by the cavalry, mounted infan-
try and artillery. The direction taken
was to the eastward. At the latest re-
ports the cavalry had not returned.
/ A rough estimate places the British
loss at $50 killed OF wounded, and that
of the Beers at 500.

Russia and France May Take Hand.
London, Oct. 25.-Sensational ru-
mors of the designs of foreign powers,
inimical to British interests, meet with
scant credence, though it is admittedly
difficult to explain the immense force
on land which Great Britain is now
mobilizing. In Vienna, it is reported
the British naval movements are due
to a Eumor that Russia, with the
assent of France, is about to acquire
from Spain Ceuta, or some other naval
station on the African coast.
Elsewhere it is stated the movements
of the French Mediterranean feet in

it could easily be joined by the Russia

The transports are expected to arrive in

the two companies of the Forty fifth
