Sir Thomas Upton Sees HIS Friends
OF ON the Majestic.
NEW YORK. Oct 25-Sir Thomas Lip
ton went to the White Star Line pier today
to see some of his friends off on the steam
ship Majestic. He was as bright and jolly
as when he first arrived in this country
Those who sailed on the Majestic were Mr..
and Mrs. James Craig, of Belfast; Lieu
tenant Colonel Chairman Crawford, vice
commodore and H. C. Kelly, secretary Of
the Royal Ulster Yacht Club; II. MacGill-
downey, of the same club; Thomas w.
Ratsey, the saiImaker; John Young, of
London; the Hon. Charles Russell, Judge
LittIer Miss Burton, and William Fife,
jr., the designer of the Shamrock. Mr..
Fife is still very i'll. He left the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, accompanied by DR.. Daniel
p. Pease. early in the morning, and the
carriage was driven on the pier up TO the
gangway. Mr.. Fife was placed on litter
and then carried on board and placed in
his berth. He is much better, but IS still
very weak, and suffers much pain He in
sisted on going back on the Majestic, as
all his friends were going on that steamer,
ard he did not wish to be left here alone.
When Sir Thomas Upton reached the
steamer his first care was about Mr.. Fife
He visited him in his ateI o0m and chatted
with him for a few minutes and then left
instructions that he was 10 nave the best
care possible during the voyage. Then Sir
Thomas talked with his departing guests.
AS the Majestic pulled out of the slip
those on board gave him a cheer. Before
leaving the pier Sir Thomas said: Mr..
Fife is in good spirits, and with a little
rest will be able to go to work and de-
sign yacht that we hope will do better
than the Shamrock ! told him not to
worry and that when he is well we Will talk
over the plans for another yacht"
Sir Thomas expects 10 go to Chicago to-
morrow. He will return as soon as posi-
bic. because he wishes to see the Erin and
Shamrock off next Tuesday on their voyage
across the ocean. He will sail on the
American Line steamship st. Paul on We'd
nesday with Chevalier De MartinO. No
plans have been made. for taking the Co
lumbia to the other side and nothing Will
be decided until it is known whether there
will be a challenge for the cup next year.
The deed of gift of the Americas Cup calls
for a ten months notice Of challenge and
the racing season ends November 80 so
that a challenge cannot be received later
than December 1. In regard to the state
ment printed in a New York newspaper
today to the effect that A d. Clarke,
former owner of the cutter Saturnita,
would challenge for the Americas Cup
with a boat desi gned by Watson it is only
necessary to say that A. D. Clarke died
about eighteen months ago.

Canada md AInskn.

In considering the latest Canadian propo-
sitiou for the settlement Of the Alaskan
boundary question, we must bear in mind
the fact that just now the British Gov
ernment is in a situation which renders it
important that the most cordial feeling
should exist toward the Crown. throughout
the entire Empire 1t is not, therefore,
probable that, although the Colonial Office
might think Canadian ambitions or de-
mands in connection with Alaska, unrea-
sonable or untenable. anything would be
said or done to create dissatisfaction with
the policy or action OF the imperial au-
thorities in that quarter.
In maEing that allowance all has been
said thai can be, by way of excuse for Mr..
Chambe4ain's liberation Of what, on its
face, is seen to be the most impudent de-
mand upon a neighboring and sovereign
State to be encountered in the history Of
international relations. In short, Canada
demands that our indisputable right to
the line delimited in the deed of cession
from Russia, and which has been recog-
nized for more than half century-during
which time collateral proofs of such rccog-
milton, both British and international, have
multiplied and are matters Of common
knowledge-shall be submitted to arbitra-
ton. subject, however, to a precedent
agreement for the cession of Pyramid Har
Dor to Canada, without regard to the re-
suit Of such arbitration.
It is a sad illustration Of Canadian pig
headedness and rapacity, that the provin-
cial leaders should select a time like the
present to foment resentment in the
United States against their home Gov
ernment II they are not as ignorant OF
American sentiment as they appear to be
Indifferent to the possible effect Of their
seIhshness upon English interests st a
critical iuncture, they must know that there
is not a solitary Senator or Representative
n our Congress who would not write his
political death warrant in treating such
proposition as theirs with anything but
indignant contempt And no American
President would think Of committing his
Administration to such project, unless he
desired posterity as well as his own genera
tion to look upon him as a man compared
with whom Judas was respectable and
Benedict Arnold born angel
Of course the Canadian scheme viii fall
fiat IN ordinary circumstances it would
be unworthy Of notice. AS matters stand.
however we think it desirable that this
Government should convey a friendly hint
10 Lord Salisbury, advising him that the
obtrusion Of senseless provincial demands
is untimely and certain to exert an in
iuence detrimental to the good under
standing which now, happily, marks the
relations Of the two great Anglo Saxon
peoples. Her 'Majesty's Prime Minister
should be courteously but distinctly in
formed that there is a fight involved in
any movement against the integrity Of
american soil. even if it be only soil
covered with the arctic moss and ice of
far-ofI Alaska.

THE DEWEY ARCH.

Its Location.

The Admiral May he Consulted on
Its Location.
NEW YORK. Oct Z5.-The collection OF
money to build permanent Dewey Arch
began today. Before the end of the
week $50 men will be in the field. New
York will supply the greater part OF the
million and more which it viii cost.
The intention now is-after a discussion
of the matter yesterday-to simply accept
rather than solicit subscriptions from the
country at large New York thus accept
ing the task Of building the magnificent I
structure and yet making 1t national in
character.
The executive committee of the citizens
committee met yesterday afternoon in
the st. Paul Building and heard reports
which told of enthusiasm in every quarter.
1t is believed that with the SI5O.0GG al
ready pledged there viii be money enough
in sight a month hence to justify tie
committee in discussing the question of
site and material which as yet has not
been officially considered.
AS far as durability of material Will per-
nit, the endeavor viii be 10 reproduce as
nearly as possible the arch at Twenty
third Street. 1t was suggested yesterday
to Colonel Church, Chairman OF the com
mfttee that Admiral Dewey might be con-
suited as to the site.
While unable to predict even approxi-
mately the date OF the completion of the
arch. Colonel Church said the work, in his
opinion, would be finished much more
quickly than any similar undertaking had
been.
E. r. JoHnes reported that Of 100 sub
committees TO be appointed to solicit sub
scriptions among the various trades sew
enty-six OF five members each had been
named and would begin work today. These,
like all the other committees. Will report
on November 15 at which time it is ez-
pected much Of the needed money will have
been subscribed.
Louis Wlndmuiler, of the committee on
subscriptions from educational institutions,
recommended that an auxiliary committee
of women be secured. He suggested that
Miss Helen Gould be requested 70 head the
committee and TO name its members. This
suggestion was adopted and telegram en-
bodyiEg the request of the committee was
prepared by Colonel Church and given 70
Howard Gould to be forwarded TO his sister
The committee decided TO ask all news
papers in New York TO receive subsCrip-
tions for the arch. Subscription blanks
and circulars by the thousand viii be sent
out in a day or two.

the best effect on mankind at large,
and which ought to have the sup
port of all religious people. There
are various commands in the New Testa-
ment to search the Scriptures, and to seek
for truth, and to be earnest in doing good.
Nowhere can there be found a command
to shut ones eyes and ears TO everything
progressive. Nowhere is it said that one
must not seek new truths, even if they
should happen to contradict old interpre-
tations. So far, at least, the progressive
party have authority on their side. More
over, there are many maledictions in both
the Old and New Testament against the
hypocrite, who pretends to believe what
he does not believe. There is no comfort
for the doubter if he stays in the Church
and says he has faith when he has moth
ing of the kind. There is a great deal
in his favor if he comes frankly out of it
and declares his intention to look for
truth until he finds it, and deal justly,
kindly, and lovingly with his family and
neighbors in the mean time

DIR. Briggs and DR.. Da Costa.

The Briggs -Potter-Da Costa controversy
resouDds through the land. According to
Dr. Da Costa eternal salvation depends
upon what a man believes, and it is OF the
utmost importance that he believe the
truth. Therefore. It is a deadly sin for him
to do all that he can to ind out what the
truth is. He must accept that form of it
on which ne chances to come in his early
youth. and never have any doubts.
DR.. Briggs believes in an earnest search
for facts, and expresses a lively desire
to assist his fellow-men in material, men
tai and moral development. He wishes to
know. If possible, what the truth is, and
while learning it, desires to DO the things
which he is sure are right.
To a human being with reasoning. powers,
and with that quality Of restIessness COM
mon TO the Intelligent human brain, the
Briggs view appears sensible. He may not
know all about the Bible, but he seems to
be anxious to know all about it, even at
the risk Of finding out some things he did
not believe when he was younger. The
attitude OF his opponents is that Of men
who refuse to learn anything lest they may
find out things which they do not wish
10 know
The controversy, however idle it may ap-
pear, should have an interest for those who
are really anxious for the increase Of
religious feeling among the masses. They
should consider earnestly which OF these
two systems of thought is likely to have

The Governor sees a hopeful sign OF the
realization of this fact by the more in
