 creased License.

At a meeting of the Jefferson County Iiuuor Mems association steps were taken towards fighting the increase in tax as pro- vided by the last legislature.
 Under this new law the saloon men will have to pay $3S more license per year than heretofore. This, the liquor dealers claim, will be quite burden
 Chris. Rainbow, president of the associa- ton, presided over the meeting and in a concise manner explained the situation to those present.
 It was moved that a committee be ap- pointed to consult an attorney and another be appointed to raise funds to have the con stitutionality of the law tested, or rather to place the case in the hands of a respon- sible lawyer and let him give opinion as to what course to pursue Both motions were unanimously carried and the commit tee immediately appointed.
 The saloon men intend making a quiet fight and nothing could be learned yester- day afternoon as to what progress had been made.

WILL REORGANIzE
The Birmingham Rifles Which Spent a
 Time in the War.

The Birmingham Rifles, officially known as Company K, Third Alabama National guard held an enthusiastic meeting in their armory last night to determine whether or not they would reorganze as one of the companies of the new national guard. It was the unanimous opinion that this should be done, and a meeting is called for next Thursday night, to elect the company offi- cers.
 A resolution was passed that all the members of the old company before the war and that all who enlisted in the pro- vsional company during the war should be considered members of the company unless they sent in their resignations at once. The better plan will be for them to be pres ent at the meeting next Thursday and re- sign. Otherwise they will be subject to company duty. Members of the. company who served during the war are not neces- sarily members of the national guard com pany, but all of them have been extended a cordial invitation to join the new com pany. Refreshments were served at the meeting last night.

A special to the Tribune from Bone

ton whether his victim was brute or
human depends Archie II. Brow er's
guilt or innocence of the crime of
murder. Brewer was one of the own
ers of small tent show which was
there for exhibition. Among the at
fractions was a creature of a SEEM
ingly higher form of animal life than
monkey and yet lower than a man.
The animal was called the missing

the alleged fact that no one was able
to say whether it belonged to the
human or brute creation. Brewer

became angry, and Selling a heavy
club, dealt his antagonist hard blow
over the ear, from the effects of which
it died in a few hours. The local
authorities Immediately placed Brow

murder. At the preliminary hearing
his lawyers set up the defense that
their client did not take the life of
human being, but the magistrate
bound him over to the grand jury.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.

Secretary Hay has not entirely
abandoned the hope that Great Brit
| ain will yet agree to a modus vivendi
respecting the Alaska boundary, al
though Canada has thus far prevent
ed such an agreement from being
reached; but if Canada does defeat the
negotiations for modus vivendi, the
administration is hopeful that Great
Britain will not permit Canada to en-
broll the two countries in hostilities
by aggressions on our territory.
The situation of the negotiations
respecting the modus vivendi is not
quite as bad as it has been represent
ed, for neither our state department
nor the British foreign Office admits
that negotiations are in hopeless
deadlock, but the agreement which
had been practically reached between
them was vetoed by Canada, and
since then it b as seemed impossible to
agree upon anything which Canada
would not veto.
1t is not correct, as stated, that
Canada has demanded the village of
Klukwan, but Canada has demanded
an outlet to the Pacific through our
territory, which the administration
has refused to grant, and apparently
Canada will be content with no tenn
porary boundary line which does not
give it such an outlet as it desires
Ambassador Choate has been in
structed that we can make no further
pect of an agreement does not seem
favorable.
However, if the attempt to secure a
modus vivendi fails, it is hoped that
by continuing the practical, though
informal and unofficial, modus viven-
di now existing, under which hostile
clash has been prevented in the terri
tory claimed by Canada, hostilities
may be avoided. We have-two COM
panies of troops at Dyea and Ska
quay.
We were about to send troops to
garrison Pyramid Harbor when Lord
Salisbury said to Ambassador Choate
that it would be civility which might
prevent trouble if our government
would Withhold this garrison, promis-
ing on his part to reciprocate by pre-
venting encroachments on the part of
Canadian officers and mounted po-
lice, who had been seriously harras-
sing American miners passing over
the trail. Ambassador Choate, under
agreed to this PROPOSE
ton for maintaining the status quo
and it has been faithfully respected
by both sides.

President Mckinley has too much

President Mckinley has too much
confidence in American and English
common sense to share the fears ex-
pressed in some quarters, that the
failure to agree on a boundary line
between Alaska and Canada, which
seems likely to result from Canada's
attempt to play the grab game, will
result in any break of the pleasant
relations between the U. 8. and
Great Britain. He realizes that the
failure to agree will be the cause of
co considerable irritation, and possibly
of some distur Dances in the disputed
territory, but does not believe that it
will dangerously involve the two
governments.
