dental, that a secret agreement has

Quoted In the utmost secresy. assurances
have been given the American commits
~sioners, il is said. that If they Will
allow matters TO rest until after the
Canadian elections in October tempo
rary agreement will be readily reached.
1t is suggested that the basis Of the
new modus vivendi has been sketched
out and practically agreed upon by the
American and Canadian commissioners.
h Temporary Agreement.
This temporary arrangement OF mo-
dus vivendi will provide. first. that the
Canadians shall have the use of a port
on the Lynn canal, Pyramid Harbor be-
ing the most likely one. The arrange
ment will provide. however. by means
Of q separate protocol. a distinct dec
laration that this temporary occupation
Of a port on the Lynn canal, by British
customs officers shall in no way affect
the settlement of the boundary ques-
ton, but both British and American in
terests aud claims will be fully re-
served. The use Of the port is to be
temporary, until the question of owner
ship of the disputed strip is finally set
tied TO the satisfaction of both coun-
tries.
Reciprocity Also Provided for.
Under this temporary agreement,
also, Canadian white pine lumber, mol
dressed, tonged or grooved. but in
| GLIDING logs and rough boards. is to be
| admitted free into the United States.
, In return for this, citizens OF the
United States are to have absolutely
free access to the Canadian fisheries
with rights Of landing, to secure bait

building Of warships on the lakes. II
! such a way as to permit the creation o
, reasonable feet Of modern ships to b.
built above the Niagara Falls.
Quebec coal is to have free entrance
over the New England boundary. which
will relieve the mills Of that section o
their present dependence ON Pennsyl

In return for this, the Western coal

HEREDITARY FOES
6A8iamd and France Have Been st
waF with Each Othera q Great
Many Times.

Since the Norman conquest, 2s times
have England and France been locked
in death struggle. Of the past $50
years the two nations have fought each
other during 81, always for the same
thing, and France has invariably gone
to the wall. Our last five wars with
France were one prolonged struggle
for sea power-that is, for trade, terri
tory and wealth. During this period
CT struggle the population Of England
and Wales never exceeded {, 900 900, and
never during this period were the peo-
pie of France fewer than 27,OOO,0 900. In
the year of Waterloo there were 90, ,GO0,-
600 ct French, and only II ,0Oe, 600 Eng
1ish in England. Now all is changed.
The French have increased by 10. 600 ,O00
in 81 years The English have increased
by more than 20. Ireland, which was
seething in rebellion in 1898, is now
not only impotent, but quiet and par
tally contented. The numbers of the
Irish people are. reduced by: half, since

exception Of handful of Irish agita-
tors and their followers. Are not these
CALLING facts to thoughtful French
men? It was from France that Eng
land snatched Canada, India, Egypt,
and the command Of the sea. A new
Give of Africa is to-day building an en-
pire which, many think, may rival In
dia itself, while at Fashoda an expedf-
tion conceived to solace French pride
has resulted in fresh and incurabIe
wound upon Gallic susceptibiiities-
The hatred of France to England, how
ever convenient, is natural. Lerd Sal
isbury's sagacious and massive mind
now apparently accepts with reluc-
tance the truth, long since recognized
by the majority of his fellow subjects,
that the conditions for an enduring
friendship DO not exist Hence the i'm
mense efforts made by the premier to
bring the English-speaking peoples in
to sympathy with each other French
decay seems to be the only visible al
tentative to a renewal of the old strug-
gle with this country.-London Letter

THE CONVICT TREAD MILL
a BaFbaFOus Punishment inflicted
Upon Inmates Of the Ram :.
EOOn Jail.

In the central Jail of Rangoon the
British officials have introduced a
method of making the convicts work
which is a very effective mode of pun
ishment. It is treadmiI on large
scale. Big wooden cylinders about
seven feet in diameter are provided
with keen-edged plank steps all around.
Above the cylinders at a convenient
height there is heavy iron pole
stretching across the entire room, upon
which the chains of the convicts work
ing in the treadmiH are fastened.
When they are all in their places, the
bolt holding the cylinders in one po-
sition is removed and convicts must
tread, tread without stop for two
hours and half. If one of them stops
treading he slips down as far as the
chain permits, but the plank steps beat
against his shinbones so vigorously
that the skin is bruised and scraped.
This is exceedingly painful, and the
convict hurried1y catches up the next
step and tries to tread along with the
others. This barbarous punishment is
Il necessity, however, for the natives are
extremely fanatical, and death has no
terrors for them; imprisonment would
be for them favorite method of living
q life of seclusion and meditation, with
no care for food or lodging, were it not
for the compulsory work. The large
shed containing the six treadmil1 cyIin-
ders is situated next to shops where
the power is used in woodworking ma
chinery. About 20 colvicts are at work
there at one time.-N. Y. World
