GREED OF CANADA.

A-slin Upsets Negotiations for Settle
ment of Boundary Dispute.
Late developments in the efforts of this
Government to effect temporary settle
ment Of the Alaska boundary dispute
have demonstrated the futility of hoping
to accomplish anything by the means
usually employed when diplomatic ques-
lions are concerned.
The latest evidence of the greed Of the
Canadians is contained in their claim to
the Porcupine district, and their demand
that it shall be recognized in the Hlodus
vivendi as Canadian territory. This pre-
posterous claim affects the rights of over
1000 American miners. 1t has shown
the President and Secretary Hay that
Cancellation and concession are lost upon
the Canadians; that the time has come
for the American Government to stand
against further greed.
The instructions to Ambassador Choate
have been very positive regarding the
stand he is to maintain. He has been
directed to notify Great Britain that the
United States cannot entertain the most
recent proposition for a temporary Alas
kan boundary He has been told to say
that, if the proposition is insisted upon
this Government cannot continue negotla-
tons. The position of the United States
is almost an ultimatum.

of the entire Philippine race, renders
it an almost hopeless and very eXas-

THE ZIONlSTlC MOVEMENT,
Whereby the Jew Hopes to Fegain the
Land of His Fathers.

"The Jews are developing a scheme
that has for its object the purchase OF
Palestine from the Turk and the found
ing of Jewish government in the land
of their fathers" writes Edward A.
Steiner, in the Woman's Home Com
panion ALREADY the movement has
become a formidable one in some OF
the European countries. The leader of
this movement is Dr.. Theodore HerZl,
of Vienna, an author of European repu-
tation, who, unwilling to bear longer
the taunts of the anti-Semitic mob Of
his native city, and unable to erase
from his face and heart the marks OF
his race. has planned this exodus with
the view of restoring to his people the
land once their own, in which, unmO-
Tested, they might live and govern
themselves.
AN able aid to DR.. Herzl lis Rabbi
Moheleth, of Russia, one Of the noblest
and most charitable men, revered for
his piety and saintliness Of character.
At his word Of command the Jews
would come out Of Russia like bees out
of a hive. Why should they not be
| glad to leave country where they
| have experienced only hatred, shame
and cruel oppression? In Germany
| there are scholarly men yearning to
| lead their people-not from narrow
| ghettos and squalid homes, but from
| the broad streets Of Berlin and from
| the merchant places Of Leipsic and
| Frankfurt-into a country of their own
government, where they will no longer
be the despised and prosecuted beings
| they now are. In Rome, in Venice, and
| in many other places in Europe, the
| exodus fever is spreading and burning
| in the hearts of the downtrodden but
| hopeful people.
among the French Max Nordau, the
| wellknown author, is the leader. From

the Jews expect to go in large numbers,

exodus do not intend to leave the Uni
ted States, yet they are encouraging
| it for the sake of their oppressed breth-

TO RAISE TEN REGIMENTS.
Enlistment of Volunteers for Service
in the Philippines Is Ordered.

En1istment of Volunteers for Service
in the Philippines Is Ordered.
The order for the enlistment Of ten new
regiments of infantry was issued Thurs
day by the Secretary Of War. 1t is the
intention Of the President to raise ten
regiments of volunteers besides filling up
all the vacancies existing in the regular
army now at Manila.
Two of the volunteer regiments have al
ready been organized at Manila, and OF
the remaining eight one viii rendezvous
and be drilled at Plattsburg Barracks. n.
Y, two at Camp Meade, PaRone at Co
lumbus Barracks, one at Fort Thomas,
KY, one at Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, one at
Leavenworth, Kan, oneaat San Antonio,
Texas. and one at Vaneo6Fer Barracks.
Regular army officers who commanded
volunteer regiments in the war with Spain
will be assigned to command the nine vol
unteer regiments, and these officers will
be directed to proceed Immediately with
their captains to the post at which their
respective regiments will be recruited and
drilled and take measures to enlist men IN
all parts Of the country without reference
to the regular recruiting stations. BY this
means the War Department expects that
by August all the men necessary to form
the regiments will have been obtained and
that by the following month they will be
in shape to sail for their destination.
The total number of volunteers who will
be enlisted will be 13,7S1-11 ,7S1 for the
nine regiments to be organized in this
country and 1900 in Manila. Each regi-
ment will leave fifty officers, so that the
regimental strength will be 1850 men.
Some slight changes have been made in
the recruiting instructions, which are in
tended to be broad enough to cover the
enlistment of both regulars and yolun-
teerS.
