BY Parkcrsburg Company last Night
was Fine Feature.
One OF the finest features of the
week was the limp" drill last night on
Market street. between Twelfth and
Fourteenth, by Parkersburg Company
No. 8, U. r., under command of Capt.
S. B. Baker. When the drill began ut
$3.50 O'Clock, there were thousands Of
spectators massed on the sidewalks.
and others were forced into the street
proper, but the crush was not SO great
as on Wednesday night, when the crowd
wns massed in front OF the Mcclure.
The drill was most enjoyable. The
company were dressed in impish cos
tunes, with painted faces, and they
looked the part without doubt, csIe-
cIally Captain Baker, who looked posi-
lively devilish," as one fair spectator
remarked In an aside that was not eX-
pected to be heard by the reporter.
The grand finale was pulled on at the
corner OF Fourteenth and Market
streets, when Il huge pile OF fireworks
in the center OF the street was set on,
and the devils" danced in style that
was really satanic.

THE ALASKAN DISPUTE.
A Temporary Arrangement has Been
Agreed 70.

hkECGA w.
LONDON, Oct. l2.-Sir Louis Henry
Davies, Canadian minister OF marine
and fisheries, informs the Associated
Press that he has given Canadas con-
sent to temporary arrangement OF the
Alaskan dispute. This has practically
settled the whole matter for the time
being, as the main features Of the ar
engagements were originally suggested
by the United States.
Colonel John Hay. the American Sec
rotary Of state, will sign the last pa
pers within a few days, and Reginald
Tower, British charge daftaires, In
Washington, will ratify on behalf Of
Great Britain.
Sir Louis Davies said this evening:
THE terms agreed upon are simply a
line drawn across ChIlkat Pass. delIm-
mated by the river and mountain top 1t
has absolutely no Significance except
that we hope thereby to avert local fric-
ton. OF course an arrival at even a
temporary agreement Is satisfactory.
So far as the original contention is con-
cerned, we are Just as misty as ever. I
see no signs Of reaching an immediate
settlement.
Canada relinquishes no claim by
her assent to this temporary arrange
ment and she has not the slightest In
tentIon OF allowing her original cOnten-
tIon to lapse into obscurity. 1t Is not
our purpose to permit this new under
standing to extend day longer than Is
necessary The fact that 1 am return
ing to Canada must not be taken to In
dIcate that a settlement will be reached
by the date OF my leaving England.
My return is necessitated by matters
altogether outside the Alaskan affair.
Il am. however. working in cOnjunc-
tIon with the colonial Office on the case.
1t will not come before the joint high
commission unless n diplomatic settle
ment Is previously attained"

pletely new set of paraphernalla, Black

ed hundreds of the Pythian visitors by

without hitch at any point, and the
Justly earned reputation as one Of the
crack teams of the country was more
than upheld, and the visitors were I'M
animous and enthusiastic in their praise

Following the conclusion of the drlll

we're drawn up on parade. when Major
General Carnhhan stepped to the front
and addressed them. He began by
saving that he desired to speak few
words, especially to the two companies
which had lust contested for the grand
lodge prizes Both had made some mis-
takes which, when spoken Of, would
never occur again, Both, he said. had
made mistakes In inspection. and he
told the captains and lleutenants Ia
take the book on tactics and study In
spection carefully, He could tell In an
Instant when n company goes into Il
contest without having given tactics
proper attention. Buck fever" or
stage fright. always attacks new COM
panlcs, and he hoped these would not be
troubled by the disease again.
Don't get frightened in peaceful
encounter like this has been" said the
general. 1.-THE time might come when
in deadly conflict you would have an
excuse for nervousness"
One great trouble. he continued, Is
that many companies do not give at
tention to the general work OF tactics,
and give up too much OF their time to
dIsplny movements Commence prop
eriy with the schedule Of inspection and
school of the knight, and the display
work will attend to Itself.
