For the past year or so the q. A. K.
Post at Blaine has been in somewhat
of a demoralized condition and the
weekly meetings have not been well
attended. A number of the members
have answered the last roll call and
been mustered out. Others feel the
weight Of years upon them and with
their infirmities found it a task to get
out evenings. Arrangements Will be
made soon for reorganization under
the old charter with meetings once a
month during the afternoon.

MENACE RETURNS.

Fugitive President Of tho Guaranty Loan
Gives Himself Up.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 29.-Louis F.
Menage, the fugitive president of the
defunct Northwestern Guaranty Loan
company, which failed disastrously on
May II, 1893, returned to Minneapolis
and gave himself up to Sheriff Megaar-
den. There are two indictments against
him for grand larceny, and after six
years Of voluntary exile in Guatemala
and Mexico. he has determined to come
back and give himself up. Under the
same indictments, William F. Streeter,
vice president Of the company, was
arrested and tried. Both trials resulted
in disagreement, and the indictments
were finally nolled as to Streeter. They
still stand as to Menage. It is not
known as yet what action County At
torney Louis A. Reed will take in the
matter.
Mr.. Menage was subsequently ar
raigned before Judge Elliott and plead
not guilty under the various indict-
ments. He was released under $4,000
bail on one indictment and on his own
recoSnizance as to the others. Bail was
immediately furnished with four sure
ties.

j.. RENNEs, France, July l.-Captain
Dreyfus has arrived here.
The prisoner landed from the cruiser
Sfax at Quiberon and was conveyed by
train to Bruz, IL kilometers from Rem
mes. There he entered landau, accom-
panied by the chief of detectives. of the
project department, and was driven to
Rennes, where $50 gendarmes awaited
his arrival in the town. Part of the
gendarmes entered a wagon and fol-
lowed the carriage and the rest followed
on foot. The party reached the prison
without incident. A large crowd as
sembled and witnessed the arrival in
silence and without manifestation.
Nine. Dreyfus was allowed to see her
husband for few minutes. When she
issued from the prison she was in a
state OF collapse. She found her hus-
band much aged, with beard and hair
whitened and body shrunken and
stopped. She said Dreyfus knew moth
ing of the events Of the past two years.
The weeping wife acknowledged the
courtesy with which she had been
treated. The gendarme who was or
dered to be present at the interview,
carried out instructions and kept at q
discreet distance.

Had Been Hoped-New Proposition
Substituted for the Last One Outlined
by Uncle Sam Choate at the End of
Authorized Concessions.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The negotia-
lions in London looking to the arrange
ment of modus vivendi, fixing the
Alaskan boundary have again nearly
reached crisis. The several confer
ences that have taken place recently
between Lord Salisbury and Ambassa-
dor Choate have been signally disap-
pointing in results. At moments it ap-
peared that a basis of understanding
having, as it was thought, been reached,
the details could be easily arranged,
but it now turns out that these very de-
tails cannot be agreed upon without the
sacrifice of the interests Of many Amer
lean miners, mainly those who were
driven out of the Atln district by the
severe and discriminating laws enacted
by the legislature of British Columbia,
and this, the state department is deter
mined not to sanction. The United
States ambassador has come to the end
Of the concessions he is authorized to
offer, and therefore the prospect of q
successful outcome of the negotiations
is rather depressing. Meanwhile, moth
ing is said on either side of r"conven-
ton of the present high joint commits
sion at Quebec, although the date set
for the meeting at the last adjournment
is rapidly approaching.

CHICAGO, July 3.-General Harrison
Gray Otis of Los Angeles, CAL, who

He stopped at the Palmer House and

to Washington will mark his muster

General Otis discussed the situation
in the Philippines at considerable length
and took the hopeful view that with
the additional troops to be furnished
the war would be terminated before the
next rainy season sets in.

This is the point that has previously
been sopken of as a possible summer
base for the American northern out
posts From Bacolor on the railroad
there is a highway running northeast
through San Fernando, Mexico, Santa
Ana and on TO Arayat on the river. Gen
Otis cables that the American army
Will occupy the cities south and west.
There is no present talk of another
northern movement. This would leave
a triangle between the railroad and the
river that could be easily held and pro-
tected by the United States troops dur
ing the wet season, even though the in
surgents were in much greater force
than they are reported, and though they
were inclined to be aggressive, which
the reports indicate they are not.
Lawton turning in his march to the
north and proceeding down the Rio

cordins to programme In the move
ment north Lawton travelled in a line
east of the Rio Grande and parallel to
1t. His march was through rough and
little Travelled country toward the foot
of the eastern mountain ranges. 1t was |
a hard journey and the insurgents
hemmed in between Lawton and Kobbe
and MacArthur's armies. The reported
dissolution of the insurgent forces. which !
are said to be in bad condition al Tar
lac, and the statement in General Otis
dispatch that he had again denied Aguin- |

hood that the commissions offer of a !

On which there is no official inclination |

No particular Importance is attached |
TO the statement that the Filipinos are |
threatening trouble in the south. The |
American line in this direction is under /
command of General Overshine and |
stretches across a narrow neck of land |
q few miles south of Manila between the |
sc acoast and Laguna de Bay. 1t is a |
position which the Filipinos could not |
force under any conceivable conditions. |
while the tinclad fleet of the lagoon and |
the warships Off the coast would be
able to make the narrow stretch OF |
country between them very unhealthy

to have been the Arena, but it has
since been changed and will be known
as the Stadium. 1t will be built be-
