Former Congressman Lewis Dis

NEW YORK, Nov e.-Former Congress
man James II. Lewis. of Seattle, who wen;
to England to look after the interests Of
the Atiin miners in the settlement of the
Alaskan boundary quez tion, returned on the
American Line steamship ST. Paul which
arrived here yesterday.
Mr.. Lewis said in regard 10 the mission.
II was present during the consideration
OF the Alaskan question in London. I did
not go there officially. however, but simply
as a representative of the owner of the dis
puted property within the boundary.
Il was Informed by no less person than
Sir Lewis Davies. OF Canada, who was in
consultation with Messrs. Choate and
Chamberlain, at the conclusion of an in
teryiew. that on behalf of mis- governmen,
he had made an Offer to take the question
up and arbitrate on the came terms which
the United States impressed upon England
in the Venezuelan matter
1T is understood that Mr.. Choate could
not accept this basis Of settlement. Mr..
Davies told me that he assured Mr.. Choaie
that Canada would cece Skagway and Dyea
absolutely and without claim, though IL
the disputed territory, in return for Pyra-
mid Harbor, the remainder OF the dispute
to be settled on the basis Of the Venezue-
Ian arbitration. This proposition was pend
ing when the temporary modus was agreed
upon in Washington"

THE SAMOAN CLAIMS.
Great Britain and Germany Both
Anxious to Arbitrate.

Anxious to Arbftrate.
The question of the relative liability of
Great Britain. Germany, and the United
States of America, growing out of .he de-
struction of property at Apia and the coast
villages of Upolu during the shelling OF
the coast by the American and British
cruisers will be pushed to settlement on
the return to this city OF DIR. Won HoIle-
ben, the German Ambassador.
The matter was discussed informally last
summer by the State Department and the
German and British embassies. but no con-
clusions were reached. The State Depart
ment officials were at that time. and still
are, disposed to let the issue go to arbitra-
ton.
It is stated by high State Department
official that the question of damage was a
matter entirely Independent of the nego-
tiations by which Great Britain and Ger
many had agreed to assign TO the United
States the Island of Tutila and Pago Pago
Bay. 1t is likely, said this official, that the
partition of the islands will be an accom-
FLASHED fact before the settlement of the
claims question has been reached.
1t Is understood that Great Britain is
also eager to proceed to arbitrate. The
fact that Germany is also willing to arbi-
trate, knowing that she has bad case. has
given rise to the belief that there is an
understanding between Germany and Great
Britain. by which Great Britain will as
sumo a definite amount of the award in
case the decision of the arbitration court
bears heavily against Germany. This fact
should have an important bearing on the
question between Great Britain and Ger
many as to which shall abandon Samoa,
and on what terms.

ROUNDING UP CATTLE.
scenes in Pennsylvania Like Those
I'm the West.

BEECH CREEK. Pa. Nov. 6-Scenes
that are common on the broad cattle
plains of the West, but are uncommon
Pennsylvania. are being enacted every day
now in the Scootac region, near here,
There the farmers of the Bald Eagle VAL
ley are having their annual roundup" of
cattle, which began on Thursday. The
Scoctac region is wild, wooded. noun
tain section thousands of acres in extent
Years ago it was invaded by coal prospec-
tors. and mines were opened, a town built,
and a railroad constructed. The project
failed. however, and the houses have de-
cayed. the mines are nothing but abandon
ed holes, and there is naught to show for
the railroad but a thicket-grown path
through the woods.
Early in the spring the farmers of Bald
Eagle Valley turn in the neighborhood of
a thousand cattle into this wild region
where they roam at will until fall, when
they are rounded up and driven back to
the farms to be wintered- This is no small
task, as the cattle become as wild as the
deer that inhabit the woods. and give the
nerders no end of trouble. Indeed, it is
no uncommon sight to see does and bucks
grazing with the cattle on the hiIlsides.
The horsemen go dashing through the
thickets in cowboy fashion, until finally
the whole herd is brought to an opening
From there the cattle are driven to the
nearest farm. where each farmer picks out
his own stock from the big herd and drives
them home.
Every farmer has his cattle branded or
marked. usually by means of brass tags
affixed to the steers left ears. The largest
number OF cattle in this years herd owned
by one man is seventy-two. He estimates
that his clear profits by the summers
grazing will be nearly thousand dollars
The cattle that come from the Scootac
region are the finest put on the market.
The region is naturally adapted for graz
ing. there being many patches where the
best variety Of grass grows luxuriantly
The region is fed by the purest of noun
tain streams. and the cattle come back to
the farms sleek and round and fat, and
their meat is finely favored, tender, and
sweet.
There were eighteen mounted men in the
party that started out Thursday and
probably twice that many on foot. The
process usually requires
week. and sometimes longer. During the
grazing season the cattle are "salted" once
a month, or oftener, according to the num-
Der in the herd. This is done by putting
rock salt near the streams, where the
Jumps can be found and licked by the cat

wealthy merchant of Smyrna. Turkey, and
representative from Armenia at the In
ternational Commercial Congress, which
was recently held in Philadelphia in con-
junction with the National Export Exposi-
ton, was found dead on Saturday morning
in his room at the Hotel Bristol, Forty
second Street and Fifth Avenue. He had
been i'll only two days, and his death Is
supposed to have been caused by apoplexy-
Mr.. Baliozian was said to be one of the
most widely known politicians in Turkey
He was forty-seren years old had fine
presence and spoke English and French
fuently He was a member of the Arme-
nian Assembly. and came to this country
several weeks ago to represent the ousi-
ness interests of Armenia at the National
Export Exposition
Mr. Baliozian was apparently in good
health until Thursday. when he complain
ed of indigestion He was attended by DR..
A. Ayvszian, a lifelong friend who lives
at 257 West One Hundred and Fourteenth
Street The physician prescribed for him.
and the following day Mr. Baliozian said
that he felt greatly improved.
When Mr.. Karaman. a relative OF Mr..
Baiiozian. called on Saturday morning he
was unable to get into the room. The door
was broken open and Mr.. Baliozian was
found dead.
Relatives of the dead man say that be
should have had a large amount Of money
in his room. A search was made. but none
was found. The police were called upon TO
investigate.

MEDALS FOR GALLANT WORK.
Awards Presented to Men Now on
the Indiana.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-For heroism dur
ing the war with Spain medals OF honor
have been awarded to four men now of the
crew of the battleship Indiana, which is in
drydock at the navy yard. The presenta-
ton of these tokens of duty well perform
ed was made at general muster on board
the ship yesterday. by Capt. Francis W.
Dickins. Lieutenant Commander ]. C.
Wilson, the executive oficer, read general
order No. 521 of the Navy Department,
which set forth the circumstances of the
exploit for which the men received the
medals. II was the cutting OF telegraph
cables of Colorado Point at the entrance
to Cienfuegos Harbor, Cuba, on May IL,
1898, by officers and men from the Marble
head and the Nashville. The work was
done under a heavy fire from the enemy
ashore.
Medals were awarded to fifty men for
that days work. but most of them are now
scattered throughout the navy on other
vessels. The three on the Indiana, are: ].
A. R. wiIke boatswain's mate, first class;
William Oakley, gunner's mate. second
class, and John Maxwell. fireman, stcond
class. The fourth man who received a
medal yesterday on the Indiana is Samuel
Triplett. ordinary seaman.

Those who were familiar with the rotund
and spacious form Of the late Speaker dur
ing his residence in Washington may, how
ever. be stirred to a mild interest In the.
problem which awaits him. Washington Is
happy In that it does not know the per-
pIexities of the New York fiat. In this city
such an apartment means one Of two things
"a suite of rooms. coy and capacious. in
some new apartment house. or an odd sec
tion of some old house divided for the use
of two or three families. As the old houses
of Washington were built mainly by South
erners who had large ideas in the way OF
architecture. apartments sliced out OF these
are likely to have room enough for the
children, the dog, and the piano. One or
two Washington men have even raised veg
etables on their back porches or in window
boxes.
But the New York fat is a different
thing 1t was evolved in a city circum-
scribed by water, and suffering from the
necessity of condensation. 1t Is said that
next spring there will be houses In Man
haitian about eight feet wide. and with
doors some twenty inches across, so tnat
furniture must be taken In in sections.
The rooms are in a single row, reaching
from the front to the back Of the house,
and the middle rooms have no windows. SO
that the furniture gets all mixed up In
them in the dark, and it is hard to find
ones way about. What is Mr.. Reed going
to do in a place like that? He can take
his easy chair to pieces and get 1t In, and
possibly some of the rest Of the furniture.
but cannot be moved in sections him
self. even by making another Guldensuppe
case of him.
There is another problem before the for
mer Speaker when he moves into his nat,
and that is the janitor. The New York
janitor is sui generis. He, also, has been
developed by special conditions. He con-
trolls the heat, the light, the baker, and the
miIkman AS Mr.. Reed knows by expe-
rienee in the House. a minority which is
thoroughly united is eae of the most trou-
blesome things in the world. Mr.. Reed, as
the leader Of such a minority, made life
merry for his opponents on several occa-
sions when he was not Speaker. He will
now have the opportunity to take his pun
ishment The janitor of that fiat may be
minority. physically speaking. when COM
pared with Mr.. Reed. but he will be united,
and he is accustomed to have his own way.
So is the former Speaker. 1t will be
merry war. And il Mr.. Reed talks loud
while explaining things to the janitor the
other householders in the fiat will rebuke
him.

BLOCK ISLAND. R. L, Nov 6.-The
brigantine Plover, Captain Godfrey, of Bar
bados, from New York, bound to Corriele-
one, Africa, with an assorted cargo. in
which were 800 barrels Of flour, 5000 gal
Ions of kerosene, 100 barrels OF pork,

1900 feet of pine lumber on deck, went
ashore on Sandy Point about quarter of a
mile north of the lfe-saving station at 9
o'clock Saturday night The captain says
there was a defect in the compass. He
saw a light and endeavored to wear ship.
The braces got caught in the lumber on
deck and finding that he could not get the
brig around he squared away and took the
beach head on. A heavy sea was breaking
over the vessel and the crew were taken
ashore in the breeches buoy. The captain
refused to come ashore until yesterday
morning when he was brought ashore in
the same way. There are six feet of wa
ter in the hold, but it Is believed to have
got in through the deck. A. N. Sheffield
and w. Talbot Dodge have contract to
save the vessel and cargo. receiving As per
cent. The vessel is owned by Henderson
Bros The captain thinks the cargo is in
sured, but does not know about the vessel.

A Neishborhood Fuss.


As far as can be gathered without the aid OF q
court trial or a grand jury, the trouble between
the doctor and lawyer living about twelve feet
apart in Of the best sections of the city, was
brought about by the children. The professional
gentlemen were at first politely distant, then
ceased 10 speak, and finally forbade their respec-
tive families to have anything to do with each
other.
One evening the doctor heard loud lamenta-
tions. and rushed out to find the lawyers boy
picking himself up after having scorched into
the rear end Of an ice wagon and partially scaped
himself. The doctor deity made the necessary
repairs, gave the lad free lecture on the n-ces-
sity Of looking where he was going, and sent him
home.
The very next month the lawyer received a bill
for professional services from his neightor. He
thought unspeakable things, but sent check
Some time after the doctor rushed excitedly
into the lawyers Office. Il want to know" he
shouted, "how I'm going to keep those pesky
kids OF yours out OF my yard. They're an un-
bearable nuisance, and / won't stand it''
s'Teil their mother and she'll attend to it. Just
a moment" rs the doctor was about to hurry
away. The lawyer wrote hurriedly and handed
a bill for s. for legal services The doctor
fumbled in his pockets. The lawyer tried in vain
not to laugh, then the doctor laughed. The two
voted themselves a pair of old fools and shook
hands. Now the children have suddenly become
a mutual source Of pleasure.

ouR TRADE M CHINA.
Extensions Of Anerican Comnerci.
Interests In the East.


Extensions Of Anerican Comnercial
Interests I'm the East.
For the past year. under instructions from
the President. the State Department has
been quietly negotiating for the protection
of American commercial interests In China
The subject is still open, although the pros
poets OF ultimate success are regarded as
highly encouraging.
The conditions are such in China that
there is the best reason to believe that ths
European nations which have seized upo.
portions of the Chinese coast would well
come the advent of the United States as =
factor calculated to materially assist their
efforts to open up vast markets in the inte-
rior of China to the trade Of civilized ma
TONS Tie only source of apprehension, 1t is
pointed cut, would be some action in the
future on the part OF the leaseholders.
This might tend to restrict our freedom
Of trade, and even this probably would be
accomplished, not by direct means, such as
prohibition Of entry at seaports or discrimi-
mating duties. but rather by means Of vex-
aiious regulations and the imposition OF
obstacles to the control Of the railroads and
political machinery of the country.
AT present both Russia and Germany.
which have been represented as resenting
American trade successes in China. are Oh
record as rather adding to the list of treaty
ports, and thus opening new doors fof
trade. than endeavoring to close out the
United States and England from the inte-
rior Of China.
This is notably true in the case of the
German concession at Xiao-Chou. where the
German authorities have done everything
TO facilitate the extension Of trade into tae
interior. On the north coast Russia has
done the same thing at Talisnwan, and even
granted foreigners the right to participate
in the municipal government.

In Old Kentucky.

If We could accord full credence to the
various and very lurid reports that hither-
ward surge from the once dark and bloody
ground" OF Kentucky, We should feel CON-
PEELED to think that the amiable Brown
boilers, and their coadjutors, the Republi-
can machinists, had made the most exten-
sive and elaborate preparations possible for
a general human barbecue tomorrow. But
for the military and police precautions
which the State and municipal authorities
appear tc have taken, probably the enter
tainment might be held according to the in
surrectionist programme. But because of
them and Of the American common sense
which must be presumed to exist to some
| extent in the hilarious commonwealth.
there is room for hope that the election may
pass over without more than the customary
loss of gore, and generally with reasonable
satisfaction te the friends of law and order.
At the same time it must be confessed
that tomorrow may possibly be an occasion
upon which strangers in the hospitable
Bourbon country would do well to remain
under beds and tables as much as possible:
threats of the Brownies and the Hanna
ties that they will overpower the legal
custodians of the polls and. If they cannot
get a decision. make the election mo
race 1t is at least trif1e sinister that
Kentucky preachers should have called
upon their flocks to whet their bowies and
follow them where glory waits. 1t is also.
perhaps, ominous that Mr.. Hanna's lead
ing adherents should exhort the colored
element to attend the ceremonies with their
trusty razors. Surely these things may
mean sharp work, as certainly they are
evidence of sharp practice.
One reason for counting on fair degree
Of peace during the voting hours. is in
Inc fact that a considerable majority of
Kentuckians in the larger communities
appear to be ranged on the side of the
regular Democracy. If that theory be cor
rect, then numbers backed by the forces
Of the government will doubtless over
awe the lawless factions and keep them in
a condition of passably good behavior.
But we must acknowledge that this view
nay be a mistaken one.
All disinterested friends OF Kentucky and
of its manly and hospitable citizens would
greatly deplore condition of disorder and
riot such as has been threatened by the
disturbing political elements in the State.
It would be impossible to calculate the
evil effects Of such a public disgrace upon
the material interests of the region. 1t is
proper, therefore, to hope for a campmeet-
ing Tuesday, all the way from Louisville
to Covington. If this is not to be and a
general massacre is impending, instead, we
shall be very sorry indeed.

A ynIunbIe Ab.ent Mind.
From the New York Commercial Advertise

(from the New YORK Commerciai Adsertlser-)
The spectacle Of the absent minded man FRAN
tically going through his pockets in a vain
search for his transfer ticket while that valuable
sky-blue document dropped gracefully beneath his
mustache was hugely enjoyed by the passengers
of an uptown car the other evening. Even the
stolid conductor caught the joke and betrayed
an amount of patience which should have aroused
suspicion on the part Of the victim. Finally,
when the transfer threatened to be entirely de-
molished, the conductor mildly indicated its To-
eality to the embarrassment of its owner and
the delight of his fellow travellers. Presently the
absent minded man reached his corner, and
he got to the rear he stuck his head back into
the door and fired q parting shot at the con-
ductor: ''Ta, ia, old boy. That's all right.
The transfer week old, and / was just
chewing of tine date"
