as Viewed by Leading Amer
lean Agencies.

New York, Oct. 2S.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: Fears and
not facts made war in South Africa seem
a menace to prosperity here, and week
of conflict has cleared away the fear.
British markets for securities have been
helped by the belief that mining shares
would be worth more with no Boer con-
troll in mining regions, and large purchases
here of ammunition, packed meats and
other army food have swelled the balance
due this country. Money markets have
grown less embarrassing, stocks have
gradually advanced, industries are still
supported by a volume of demand for
which no precedent can be found, and pay
ments through the principal clearing
houses for the past week have been 36.6
per cent. larger than last year and 57.S per
cent. larger than in 1892. So great an in
crease shows the net result of many and
potent forces making for public prosper
ity.
THE heaviest transactions in steel rails
ever made so early cover 100000 tons for
next years delivery, or two-thirds of the
entire annual capacity of the works. The
Pennsylvania is said to have taken 10000
tons at 1913, but all the leading railroads
made large purchases, and the price was
then advanced to $35 per ton, the same
works having delivered during the past year
at $1S to $19. For structural works many or
ders appear, including some of consequence
for the east and for Cuba.

Canada's Latest Proposition for Set
thing Alaskan Dispute-A Sum-
mary of Old Claims.

London, Oct. 25.-The press is en-
abled to give authoritatively Canada
final proposition for a permanent set
Element of the Alaska dispute. 1t is
very different from her former de-
mands and was delivered to United
States Ambassador Choate by the
Canadian minister of marine and fish
cries, Sir Louis Henry Davies, late
the night before the latter sailed and
dispatched Tuesday to Washington by
the officials of the United States en-
bassy. 1t is as follows:
That the boundary line be arbitrated upon
terms similar to those, imposed by the
United States and Great Britain over Ven
ezuela, particularly those provisions max
ing 80 years occupancy by either side con-
elusive evidence of title, occupancy of less
than that period to be taken as equity al
lows under international law.
That, as a condition precedent to and
absolutely preliminary to arbitration,
Skaguay and Dyea would be conceded to
the United States without further claim
if Canada received Pyramid harbor.
In other words, Canada gives up much
of the disputed gold country in return
for a seaport, but stipulates that she
must get the latter before she agrees to
arbitrate the boundary line.
Washington, Oct. rs. 1t is said
at the state department that the
proposition as to permanent
Alaskan boundary laid down by Sir
Louis Davies is nothing more nor less
than a summary of claims heretofore
preferred. When the commission was
in session last spring and the Canadian
proposition was made to settle the
boundary question by arbitration, the
American commissioners replied with
an offer to accept arbitration with the
proviso that no point occupied by Amer
leans for specified term of years
should be submitted to the arbitration.
In other words, the term was so fixed
that by no possibility could the title
to Skaguay, Taiya, or any other place
that the Americans had occupied for
a period represented by the discovery
of the Klondike fields be called into
question by the arbitration. This was
one of the final propositions rejected
by the Canadian commissioners which
caused the failure of the joint confer
ence.

THE VANDERBILT MILLIONS.
Cornelius to Sever Relations
with Family.

New York, Oct. 27.-The provisions of
the will of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt
were made public Thursday night in
statement by Chauncey M. Depew. AL
fred Gwynne Vanderbilt inherits the
larger portion of his fathers fortune
and becomes practically the head of the
Vanderbilt family. The will makes no
mention of the marriage of Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Jr., to Miss Wilson, nor to
any quarrel between father and son be-
cause of the union, but apparently the
fathers displeasure was visited upon
the eldest son, he receiving, all told, I'M
der the terms of the will, but 81 500, 900,
and $1,000,000 of this held in trust by
the executors. Alfred Gwynne Wander
bilt is, of course, the residuary legatee,
and will possess a fortune of probably
$40, 100000 to $50,000,OO0. Gladys, Reg
inald and Gertrude (Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney, will receive about $4,000
each.
Out of the spirit of affection and for
the purpose of satisfying all of the
members of the family, Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt gives his brother Cornelius
enough of his inheritance to make his
fortune equal to that of the other mem
bers, namely, $7,5O0,OO0. Senator De-
pew says that Cornelius Vanderbilt has
accepted this arrangement in the spirit
in which it was offered.
The will does not contain schedule
of property, and no estimate can be
formed of the value of the estate except
in very general way. 1t may be
months before the appraisers complete
their work, but those who are most ia
miliar with the affairs of the late Mr..
Vanderbilt say that the fortune is very
near to S7O.OOO.OOO.
New York, Oct. 2s.-Cornelius Van
derbilt has resigned his position with
the New York Central Railway COM
pany and will henceforth have no inter-
course, socially or in business, with the
members of his family. He bitterly re-
sents the implication that he is the
beneficiary of his brothers generosity.
He is equally emphatic in the state
ment that the settlement was forced
by him on the alternative of a contest,
and that the $6,0OO,000 added to his in
heritance was in no sense a gift, but
simply the price of noncontested will
