BELIEF IN CANADA
That Americans WIN Change Atti-
tude In Regard to Alaska

That Americans VIII Change Atti-
tude in Regard to Alaska
OTTAWA, Ont. August Ian i'm
preston prevails here that the United
states Is getting ready to climb down
from the lofty attitude which it has
hitherto assumed on the Alaskan boun-
dairy question. A week ago. when the
speeches OF Sir wilfrid Laurier and Sir
Charles Upper were made in the house
Of commons, It was generally believed
that the Americans were stubbOrnly re-
fuslng to yield anything and were de-
termined to hold on to the whole Of the
disputed territory at all costs. The
general attitude Of Canadians has. how
ever, been somewhat changed by the
news which has come within the last
few days that the Americans were
willing to concede free port on the
Lynn canal through which trade could
pass TO and from the Yukon without
being subjected TO American customs
regulations.
While this proposition is not regarded
rs coming anywhere near to satisfying
LIlE VI AAAAh N3AhkAgH az 80
less the fact that such an offer has
been made has had q noticeably calm
ing effect because It is taken as show
ing that the Americans will give way II
they are pressed hard enough.
Canadians welcome heartily the signs
which seem 10 indicate that the public
at large in the United States Is bccom-
ing sufficiently aroused 10 what the
dispute Is all about. They want, In
fact, an appeal from the politicians TO
the people, and they are quite satisfied
that n the mass Of Americans can once
be brought to fully understand the sit
uation they viii indorse the idea that
the whole question should be arbitrn-
ted without restrictions or conditions
OF any kind. All the same, the ofrer
OF a free port under American soyer-
eighty will not be accepted by Canada,
ana the report which comes from Amer
lean sources that n settlement along
those lines has been accepted by Eng
land without consulting Canada Is en-
tlrely disbelieved.
The Canadian parliament will be
prorogued within few days. and there
Ia no probability that before proroga-
tion any laws will be passed, such as
were suggested by Sir Charles Upper
TO exclude American miners from the
Yukon or TO build an all-Cnnadian rail-
way TO Dawson City.

ST. LOUIS. August Ia special to
the Globe Democrat from Ortiz, Next
co, says:
Any doubt that the Yaquis are on the
warpath In earnest was dispelled to-
day. when news reached here that sew
eral Americans and siexicans had been
killed in pueblos, or towns in the va
qui river valley east and southeast of
this station.
The courier who came in with the
news Of the slaughter declares that he
saw a desperate fight at a point forty
miles southeast OF Ortiz. and that he
has positive evidence that ]. F. Rem
ley. a merchant OF Hermisillo. and E.
Miller, a photographer in his employ
were among the killed.
Remley was one Of the best known
Americans in Sonora.
The inhabitants OF the towns in aud
near the Yaqul valley are In a state of
terror.
General Torres. commander Of the
first military zone, which includes So
nora. sinaloa and Lower California, who
was in the field with the Twelfth regi-
ment, is reported among the slain.
No information IS obtainable as &c:
Of the number of fighting Indians un-
der arms, but if the outbreak is OF the
proportions OF the war ended in 1897. the
number may be plnced at between
three and four thousand. This out
break is a surprise to the state and
army officials.
It is impossible to secure accurnte
figures as to the total number kille 10
date, but the estimate ut fifty on each
side is not considered excessive.

The controversy between the city
water board and Real Estate Agent
James A. Henry. which has been 50
prominently in the public eye for sew
eral days. was given another whirl IN
the legal arena yesterday and the water
board comes on the field of carnage
with colors flying and SIR. Henry's
agurativc scalp dangling at It's belt.
This development came in the opinion
handed down by Circuit Judge Joseph
R. PAUL. denying the application Of tae
Beck heirs for an Injunction to restrain
the water board from again shutting on
the water from tenants in the Beck
block owing to the failure of the Ohio
Valley Trades & Labor Assembly to
pay the water rent assessed against IT.
In his decision. Judge PAUL holds
that the water board has the right to
turn OF from a delinquent consumer
his water, and the fact that there are
other tenants in the same building who
are not delinquent has no bearing, as II
II had the board would be left without
remedy to reach the delinquent, espec-
Tally where there is one pipe entering
the building. 1t is further held, as a
matter of equity that the plaintiffs, be-
ing the landlords, had a remedy-the
piping OF the block for each tenant
separately. Another remedy would
have been for either the tenant or land
lord TO pay the amount assessed by the
water board and enter a petition for
rebate.
In this mornings police court, the
case of the water board against Real
Estate James A. Henry. Charles Henry
and H. l. McKown. charged with vio-
lation OF the water boards rules in
turning on the water at the Beck block
after 1t had been turned OF by the
water board. will be put on trial, and

INTERNATIONAL PHASE
ofthe Italian Lynchlngs in Louisiana
Grows More Serious.

Grows Moro SeFlouss
WASHINGTON. D. c.,August 1.-The
international phase Of the italian
IynchIngs In Louisiana has assumed
rather more serious aspect as a result
OF several official reports received here.
These show that the italian officials on
the scene believe that four out of the
Eve men lynched were Italian citizens
in the fullest sense. While the reports
are not final, the Italian authorities have
no doubt that they VIII be borne out by
the Inquiries now in progress, and II Is
to remove all possible doubt that Mar
duis Romano, OF the Italian embassy
has gone to Louisiana. He has been
commissioned as consul TO New Or
leans. owing to the absence Of the con-
sui on leave and In that capacity he
will go to Tallulah and make careful
investigation.
The Italian authorities have also Ia
ken note of the statement attributed TO
DR.. Hodges. whose assault led up TO
the lynchlng. This states that after
the assault he walked away. indicating
that the offense was not OF character
to warrant the lynching OF five persons.
