The Boston Globe says, in a special des-
patch from Washington, that the sugges-
tion that Gen. Miles be sent to the Phil
ippnes as commander of the army there
meets with general approval from civilians
and army officers except the small war
department ring which receives its inspir-
alton from the secretary of war and the
adjutant general. The Globe says further:
"The situation in the war department is
simply this: Both Secretary Alger and
Adjt. Gen. Corbin are bitterly opposed to
Gen. Miles, and are determined to do
everything in their power to prevent him
from receiving recognition" Gen. Miles
is said to be anxious TO go to Manila.

Senator Chandler has sent to the Man
chester Mirror an explanatory note in re-
gard to an interview in Washington. He
writes: "What l actually said in answer to
an inquiry whether had begun canvass
for reelection in 1901, was that thought
that after senator had been chosen three
times he ought not 10 be elected again by
reason of his own desire, but because his
constituents wanted him. And l added
that there were differences of opinion,
which l explained, between me and some
Republicans on bimelallism, trusts, rail-
road control in New Hampshire, and un-
inforced prohibitory liquor laws.
"This was all said and all l intended
to say. did not say that l would accept
a reelection if it were unanimously ten
dered TO me, and not otherwise, nor that l
would not become candidate nor make a
fight for reelection. In due time all these
questions will be reached. Meantime,
hope the differences between some Repub-
licans and myself will be candidly conceded.
"Now, may further add another diff
ference for confederation, in view of Sena-
tor GallingeT's charge that l am engaged
in a cheap conspiracy to degrade my col
league, and take occasion to say that
am in favor of keeping the Republican
party in power in New Hampshire with

a particular fondness for jabbing her owl

alleged to have died in New Jersey as a re-

Rev. Clay McCaulry Taken Toe
Seriously.

Seriously.
Rev. Clay McCauley, the representative
in Japan of the American Unitarian asso-
citation, has written an extended communi-
cation on the Philippine situation in
which he quotes Gen. Otis and Admiral
Dewey as personally opposed to the war of
subjugation. His letter is being given
undue importance by anti administration
organs It. is simply the unsupported
statement of single individual, and ex-
perience has shown that clergymen are
quite as likely to be warped and biased in
their judgment as people in other walks
of life.
Admiral Dewey is able to express his
own views without the medium of Rev.
Mr.. McCauley, and he may be trusted to
do so on his arrival in this country. Near
ly year ago, while standing on a quarter
deck of the Olympia and pointing to the
American flag over Manila, he said, accord
ing to the New York Tribune correspond
ant: 81 hope it will float there forever" "
Under date of Oct. he wrote to Presi-
dent Brown of Norwich university: 81
trust that the entire archipelago will be
retained by the United States. Any other
arrangement will lead to no end of
trouble" On May "a last he said to an
American newspaper correspondent at
Hong Kong: 81 have the greatest en-
thusiasm in the future of the Philippines.

The brains of our great country will de-
velop the untold agricultural and mineral
resources of the islands. We must never
sell them. Such an action would bring on
another great war. We will never part
with the Philippines, am sure, and in
future years the idea that anybody should
have seriously suggested it will be one OF
the curiOsities of history"

The well-informed Washington corre-
spondent of the Boston Herald claims that
official ostracism of Secretary Of War Alger
is becoming so pronounced that his early
resignation from the cabinet seems newt
able. The President has ignored Alger in
making the recent appointments to the
provisional army, an the views of the
other members OF the cabinet concerning
the conduct of the war in the Philippines
are usually accepted by the President in
preference 70 those Of Secretary Alger.

MODUs vIvENDI IN EFFECT.
British Government Accepts Temporary
Adjustment OF Alaskan Boundary.

British Government Accepts Temporary
Adjustment OF Alaskan Boundary.
Washington, Oct, 21.-Mr. Tower,
the British charge here, called at the
state department and handed to Secre-
tary Hay a note formally accepting for
his government the proposition for the
temporary adjustment of the Alaskan
boundary line proposed by Secretary
Hay. With that act the long expect
ed modus vivendi relative to the vexed
boundary question went into effect
This result has been brought about
through the direct negotiations Of Sec
rotary Hay and Mr.. Tower, after sew
eral failures in the past through COM
missionerS and ambassadors. The
state department is confident that it
has conserved every American inter-
est in the arrangement without I'M
justly treating Canada.
The divisional line on the west pass
by which the Dalton trail is reached
is placed twenty-five and one-quarter
miles above Pyramid harbor, which is
regarded under the treaty as tidewater
mark, so the Canadians are not al
lowed to reach any point on the Lynn
canal. Moreover, there is no permits
sion given for free port or even for
the free transfer across American ter
ritory of Canadian goods except Of
miners belongings. These matters
may figures later on when it comes to
a permanent boundary line, but they
are not touched upon in this modus.

WAR ON THE BORDER.
Mexicans and Americans Have a Fight at
Naco, A. T.

m0xlcanS ana Am0rlc0nS nave u FISnC at
Naco, A. T.
Eel Paso, Tex, Oct. 23.-Another
bloody border war broke out between
Americans and Mexicans at Naco, the
little town that lies partly in Arizona
and partly in Mexico. From the best
reports obtainable at this hour four
Mexican officers and two Americans
were killed; one Mexican and two
Americans were wounded. The fight
started as a train bearing 500 excur-
Sionists back to Bisbee, A. T., was
about to pull out from the station. 1t
was precipitated by drunken Ameri-
cans and Mexicans. Mexican officers
started out to arrest the Americans
and the Americans retreated toward
the line. Just before they reached it
the guards opened fire on the fugi-
tives. The Americans were all armed,
and in an instant bullets were flying
thick and fast.
The train, loaded with women and
children, was standing only few hun
dred yards away, and for a time hun
dreds of lives were in danger. Cow
boys across the line in Arizona rushed
to the rescue of their American
friends, firing as they ran. They
halted at the line, however, and poured
in deadly fusillade from their Win
chesters and sixshooters that wrought
havoc in the ranks Of the Mexican
guards and caused them to halt, allow
ing the fugitives to get safely across
the line. -Four Mexicans were instant
ly killed and the fifth MORALLY wound
ed. Ryan and Montgomery, from Bis
bee, were killed, and a miner from Bis
bee, whose name is unknown, was shot
through the leg, but his friends con-
veyed him across the line.
Joe Rhodes, an Arizona cowboy, who
made a determined stand against
heavy odds, was badly wounded and
captured. He is now in Jail on the
Mexican side of the line, but 100 de-
termined men are preparing to swoop
down on the Jail and release him. The
entire Mexican garrison at Naco is on
guard anticipating an attack on the
Jail which conservative men believe is
sure to occur before morning. There
most intense excitement on both sides
of the line, and only a detachment of
United States regulars will prevent
further bloodshed, as the civil officers
are powerless to control the cowboys,
who are thoroughly aroused.
