HAY LEAVES WASHINGTON.
The Alaskan Boundary Dispute Does
 Not Require His Presence.

Washington, September 7-Secretary Hay left Washington this evening for his sum mer home in New Hampshire. The nego- tions for a modus vivendi respecting the Alaskan boundary are in such shape that no delay will ensue from his absence. The agreement settled upon by the secretary and MT. Tower, the British charge d af- faires, having just reached London. It is expected that the foreign office will send 1t to Canada to learn the views of Sir Will fred Larier Should he approve, the papers must go back to London and then be re- turned in duplicate to Washington before the modus vivendi will stand an act uality. Add of these moves are expected to consume many days, or even weeks, though, of course, cable notice of the ap- proval of the agreement by the British authorities may considerably shorten the period.

BAND OF SWINDLERS.
Cattlemen of Western States Robbed
 by Clever Thieves.

Kansas City, Mo, September 1.-The Journal tomorrow will state that within a few weeks past upward of $90,O00 has been taken from live stock firms of Kansas City by band of swindlers, seven men and two women, who have operated from var ious points in Iowa, Nebraska. Kansas and Missouri.
 The swindlers secured their first money when a man appeared here from Iowa stating that he had herd of 1,S0O feeders in Iowa, but had not money enough to get the cattle in shape for the market The commission firm to which he appealed for financial assistance sent a man to Iowa 70 inspect the herd and loaned the man $5,- 600, taking q first mortgage, few days later a woman in widows weeds appeared at the office of another commission firm and secured q similar amount on similar representations. The herd of feeders was rapidly moved through several counties in Kansas and finally into Missouri and ie- peatedly mortgaged, and, 1t is stated, that one commission firm was caught twice on the same bunch of cattle.
 The Journal wthholds the names of the commission firms There have been no ar rests made.

SCHURMAN'S LITTLE MAP.
The Professor Easily Ships the Belli-
 cose Tagals on Paper.

Washington, September 7-President Schurman, of the Philippine commission, called at the state department today to say goodbye before leaving for Ithaca, N. V He has undoubtedly made a deep im- pression upon the officials of the adminis- tration by his statements relative to the affairs in the islands when he left there.
 His optimistic views have convinced some of the leading officials at least that the end of the war fin the Philippines is in sight. One of the arguments which he used to support this belief was a chart of the Philippine group. On this the various races populating the islands were set out in colors. The significant feature is the small showing made by the Tagals Not only does the chart show that this tribe forms but a small portion of the total pop- ulation of the Philippines, but it appears that the Tagals in insurrection against the United States constitute only portion of the tribe. and that whole provinces in Lu- zon, notably at the northern extremity of the island, are either friendly to the United States or at least neutral.

DEBATE IN IFS .OLKSRAAO Speakers D d the Reason For Pre- of Britishers.
 = MILNER SENDS AMBIGUOUS REPLY Kruger Declares That the Transvaal Republic Will Never Sacrifice Its
 Independence to Satisfy
 England's Greed.
MlLNER SENDS AMBIGUOUS REPLY

Pretoria, September 8.--In the course of the debate in the first Raad yesterday President Kruger said he knew the Lord would give a good judgment in the dispute between England and the Transvaal, and that "if MT. Chamberlain stood before the countenance of God his own conscience must acknowledge there was no suzer- ainty."
 All depended, the president declared, upon the reply received from Mir Cham berlain. He (KrugeD had given much away already. He had given his jacket and trousers and the only thing left was inde- pendence. Tt was said," continued Pres ident Kruger, that it was the desire of the British to wipe out the defeat at Ma juba Hill, but 1t was the noblest thing En- gland ever did, when, after that, she re- stored the independence of the Transvaai. That was due to MT. Gladstone, who saw the petitions sent to the queen were fase."
 That deed," said MT. Kruger, Ifs in- delibly engraved upon minds of Transvaal as the noblest of England's deeds"
 The presidents declaration that if it came to fighting, God would be the arbiter was lCudly cneefeu. In conclusion, MT. kru- ger said he hoped the raad would wait un- til the reply to the last dispatch had been received. If the proposal for conference was renewed, the Transvaal government would do it's best to meet the other side Ged, he said, held the hearts of the peo- pie in His hand. and if the people called on Hlm He would respond. He ruled the lot of al The president said he earnestly hoped that Mir Chamberlain's heart would be changed
 After eulogizing MT. Gladstone's action of retrocession in 1881 as noble deed, Pres ident Kruger said that If it now came to fighting the Almighty would be the arbi- ter. He urged the members of the raad to show moderation, reminding them that the reply of MT Chamberlain was en route. and pointing out that if the proposal for commission were agreed to, the republic would send delegates to further discuss matters and if possible to make a peace.
 The speeches following the presidents were moderate in tone and the raad rose without passing resolution.

THE VOKSRAAD DEBATE.
Fiery Speeches Made by the Repre-
 sentatives of the Burghers.

Pretoria, September 7.-Great excitement prevails throughout the Transvaal by ths reported masshng of British troops on tho border yesterday and continued arrivals to- day. The volksraad imMedia tely assembled and requested Secretary Retz's report. Secretary F. w. Reitz said he had called the previous day on the British diplo- matic agent, MT. Conyningham Green, and asked him what reply the government could give to the volksraad regarding the alleged nassing of British troops on the borders and whether MT. Greene would communicate with the British high com missioner, Sir Alfred Miner. The reply from Greene, he continued. had been re- ceived this morning, and was in the fol- lowing terms:
 Dear Mr. ReitZ:-Folowing is Sir AL freds reply to the telegram which I sent him at your request:
 ''I do not know to what MT. Retz refers when he alludes to the massing of troops This must be the British troops in South Africa the position and number of which are no secret, but what Is matter of com- mon knowledge. that went there to make provision against eventualities and to pro- tect British interests"
 MT. Coetzer and other members then made violent speeches, declaring that they could not understand Sir Alfred Miners reply, since the Transvaa had never threatened tine English colonies
 Tt is my opinion" exclaimed MT. coet- ger, that 1t Is time for the Transvaal to prepare for eventualities'
 One member said: "Engand's action is like putting a revolver into a mans face"
 Another concluded a warlike harangue in this strain: Tt is time to send our burgh- CTS to the borders to ask these troops what they want The fire is bound to start So let them light it and allow it to burn ut quickly. War is better than the present state of affairs. Business is ruined and the public treasury is drying up. Chamber lain is trying to ruin the country"
 These speeches and others attacking Cecil Rhodes were loudly applauded by the house and the public

 Weeps Over Both.

Chicago. September 1.-Two bodies, each represented to be that of Ernest Baltzer, a member of the First Illinois volunteers, who died in Cuba have for months laid side by side in Graceand cemetery here. The first body was brought back by To- cal undertaken and Mrs. Philippine Bait ger, mother of the soldier, mourned for him as her son.
