Student Crippled.

Chicago, March 17.-Hazing as prac-
ticed at the Chicago college of dental
surgery may make James J. Mount of
the class of 1903 an invalid for life If
it does not cause results even more
serious. He is now in the Presbyterian
hospital. The cords of his neck are in
jured and the doctors think he has been
hurt internally. Mount is the victim
of the custom of passing up" Pass
ing up" consists of Selling a man in
the class room and passing him from
one tier of seats 20 the one above or
below until the outer or inner circle Of
the seats occupied by the class during
a clinic is reached. Then the victim Is
started on a journey in the opposite di-
rection.
Student Mount belongs to the fresh
man class. He has been i'll for some
time, but during the hazing process
he was tossed back and forth from tier
to tier of the seats and then shot down
to the floor, where he lost conscious
ness. Mounts parents reside in Peters,

Amount of Gold Increased.

New York, March IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: There
is more gold in the possession of the
treasury and of the banks now than at
any time for many years The total
gold held by the treasury three years
ago to-day was s127.00000O. The total
to-day is more than $241, 200, 900. The
total gold held by the national banks
on May Z, 1896, was $157.771, 500. These
banks held on the date Of the last call,
Feb. 4, 1899 1921 915. 1876. This shows an
increase of s114,000.0o0 in the gold held
by the treasury and $164,O00O0O in that
held by the national banks. 1t is as
sumed that the amount of gold held by
private banks has increased in the same
proportion, though no accurate Stats
tics can be obtained. There is also con-
siderable gold in general circulation, as
the government for some time has been
paying out gold very freely, so as to re-
lieve as far as possible the demand for
paper currency

New Army Register.

Washington. March 1.-THE new
army register will be published in a
few days. Some advance copies have
been received at the war department,
where it has been looked over with
considerable interest. This register,
while for the regular army entirely,
will have list of the general and staff
officers appointed during the Spanish
war, together with the records during
the war. An interesting feature of the
register is that the volunteer service of
the regular officers is given and there
is jump from 1866 and 1867 to 1898 in
that service, a lapse of more than 80
years.
Another interesting point is that sew
eral men in the regular army declined
volunteer appointments. At the head
of the list of these is Adjutant General
Corbin. The register shows that on
Aug. 49, 1898, he was appointed a major
general of volunteers and declined.
Major General John A. Johnston, ad-
jutant generals department, declined
commission of lieutenant colonel.
There are other instances, but these
are found in hurried examination, Of
the register, which is an extensive vol
ume.

Water Was In q Dilemma.

1t was in one of the large downtown
restaurants that the short little woman
and her tall husband went for dinner one
night last week.
"Will you have oysters?" asked the
man, glancing over the bill of fare.
Yes, said the short little woman. as
she tried in vain to touch her toes to the
moor, And, John, I want a hassock.''
John nodded, and, as he handed his or
der to the waiter, he said: Eyes, and
bring hassock for the lady"
One hassoek?' asked the waiter, with
what John thought more than ordinary
interest, as he nodded in the affirmative.
Sun the waiter did not go, but brushed
the tablecloth with a towel and rear
ranged the articles on 1t several times,
while his face got very red. Then he
came around to Johns side and speaking
soto voce, said: Say, mister, l haven t
been here long and I'm not on to all
these things. Will the lady have the has
sock brelled or fried?'

is SAID TO Be A HOAX
Rumored Fight Between Ameri-
cans and Canadians.
BOUNDARY LINE DISPUTE
1t Is Reported That Three Canadians
and One American Were Killed.
Trouble Has Been Expected
for Some Time.

New York, March IA special to
the World from Vancouver, B. c., says:
Carl Slummerfelt, a German, who was
passenger on board the steamer Tees,
which has arrived here from the Lynn
canal, brought the news that a battle
had been fought between American and
Canadian miners a few miles off the
Dalton trail. Four men are reported to
have been killed outright and a number
of others are said to have been seriously
wounded. When the alien mining law
of British Columbia went in force a
few months ago the miners left Atlin,
new gold district, and struck north.
They found a short distance off the
Dalton trail on the Porcupine river, a
district rich in placer gold. 1t was
generally conceded that the new placers
We're in American territory and the
miners vowed that no Canadian should
stake a claim. Some Canadian mount
ed policemen, however, did stake claims
on the American territory, and justified
this by moving the Canadian flag from
Mount Pleasant on the trail SO as to
make the line take in a rich part of
the district They We're followed by at
least 40 Canadian miners, who all To-
Gated good claims.
A fortnight ago about 100 American
miners held a meeting and decided to
send notice to the Canadians to leave
the country within four days. The no.
tees were sent out, but no heed was
paid to them. Slummerfelt who left
the Porcupine river district two weeks
ago, says:
EARLY on the morning of the sixth
day the American miners met and pro-
ceeded to the Canadian camp. I don't
believe they intended bloodshed. al
though they were fully armed. Before
they could state the object of their visit.

were killed outright-an American and
three Canadians. The battle was very
brief and resulted in the Canadians,
about so in number, flying across the
border. The Americans then returned
to their own camp. / was informed that
the following Americans were leaders
in the battle. but cannot say for Ger
tain: c. G. Lewis and Charles Leitch
of Los Angeles; w. S. Halves of Min

not ascertain the name of the killed.
Some Canadians, about 10 miles above
the Porcupine. l heard. had left for the
Porcupine river. The Americans are de-
termined, and I fear there will be an
other conflict. There is no doubt in my
mind that the new district is in Ameri-
can territory"
Slummerfelts story is unconfrmed
but word was received here about two
weeks ago that if the Canadians did not
leave the territory there would be
trouble.

Sacramento, Cal. March 17.-This has
been night of intense excitement over
the senatorial fight. Ulysses S. Grant,
who has led in the voting from the
start, admitted tonight that he was
offered $4,000 to withdraw from the
fight. Grant declined to say that the
offer was made in the interest of D..
NJ. Burns, but a man who made the
offer did not deny that fact, but rather
freely admitted it. Gen. w. H. L..
Barnes was approached by B. N. Stein
man, Sacramento capitalist, this aft
ernoon and asked to name the sum
Barnes has expended in the senatorial
fight and 1T would be paid upon Barnes
withdrawal.
Steinman stated that Barnes had a
number OF supporters who would switch
to Burns if Barnes withdrew, but in no
other event. Barnes ordered Steinman
out of his presence, at the same time
applying most insulting term to the
capitalist. Steinman is Southern Pa

KAIULAkI DEAD.
She Was Heir-Apparent to the Hawaiian
Throne.

Honolulu, March s. via San Francis
co, March 17.-Princess Kaiulani is
dead. She passed away at O'Clock on
the morning of the 9Th instant. Her
father and number of intimate friends
We're by her bedside when death oc-
Cured. The cause of death is attribut-
ed to intlammatsry rheumatism.
Princess Kaiulani was the daughter
of Princess Miriam Kekauluohi Like
like and Governor A. S. Cleghorn. She
was born Oct. 16, 1876. On March 10,
1891, Liluokalani proclaimed Kaiulani
heir apparent to the throne of Hawaii
and the United States warship Mohi-
can, then in port, fired q guns in honor
thereof.
The funeral of the dead princess will
take place on Sunday, March IL. from
kawaihao, the old native church. It
will be an immense affair and will fol-
low closely after the order of that Of
Kalakaua, in 1891, and will be on a
similar scale. There will be a grand
marshal, police. troops. band. consular
corps and divisions in the procession
for various elements of the community.
When President Dole was informed
of the death Of the princess, he called
his cabinet together in order that a
proper course might be suggested with
regard to the funeral ceremonies. 1t
was orderpd.that the nag be put at half
mast on the government building on
the day of the funeral. The consuls
We're notified of this action by the gov
eminent, but as they are accredited to
the government at Washington. no re-
quest could he made. As a fact, all
the consuls placed their flags at half
mast. To-day the body lies in state at
Ainahua. On a catafaluue, shrouded
under purest white, all that is mortal
of the princess rests. while an almost
countless procession of those who come
to pay her memory the tribute of a
tear passes by.
Among those who called were near
y all the United States military and
naval officers now here, large number
of national guard. national officers and
people Of every rank and station in
the community. The only military
guard of honor was a detail from the
presidents staff.
The banks and most of the business
houses of the city closed at noon to-
day out of respect to the memory of
the young princess. Consular, govern
ment and shipping flags are at hSlf

The Cut Met.

Chicago, March IA resolution has

citic coast business providing for meeting
the second class colonist rates put into
effect west from ST. Paul by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific roads by
using one-way rate of s32 from Missouri
river points to all North Pacific coast
points affected. This action will revive the
demand for the application of Short Line
rates via st. Paul and North Pacific coast
points from Missouri river points and
points in the Southwest. 1t has also been
met by the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern roads announcing their intention
Of applying reduced one-way second class
colonist rates 10 all points west of St.
Paul to which the one-way rate from St.
Paul Is 50 or over
