AMERICAN PRESS UNFAIR
SO DECLARES SIR CHARLES TUP-
PER AT OTTAWA.
NO ADVANCE. IN THE NEGOTIATIONS
Sir WiIfrid laurier has no Hope Of a Compto-
mise and there is Nothing Now Left
but Arbitration. Canada
Must be Patient.

Ottawa, Ont. July ON the House
brought up the question of the Alaskan
boundary He said the United States
had pursued an unjustiiialie course in
this matter and spoke of the unfair att
tude Of the American press in pressing
upon their readers that Great Britain
and the United States would, of them
selves. have been ABIDE to reach salts
factory conclusion, but that Canada
stood in the way.
The United States in refusing to sub
NIT the subject to arbitration well justi-
fled. in his opinion, the decision that
Great Britain and Canada had reached te
decline to allow the other questioas ia
go before the High Commission. His be-
lief was that the Government and conn
missioners of the United States had lost
confidence in their own claims to this
strip of territory. In conclusion Sir
Charles suggested the Introduction OF TIVE
bills-one to provide for a railway from
Kitimat Arm by Tesln Lake to Dawson,
the rates to be controlled by the Gov
ernor in council and another providing
that no mining license be granted III the
Yukon to any other than Il British sub
ject.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier. the Premier, SYM
pathized in part with Sir Charles and
stated to the House that he had little
or no hope now for a compromise and
was sorry to say that the negotiations
had not advanced the position one iota
from the position Of January last. Tn
alternatives We're arbitration or an ap-
peal to arms. No ONE would think OF
arms. nothing was therefore left bat ar
litration. Although an agreement All
the terms of arbitration had mot
yet been reached it was his
opinion that Canada's best course
would still he to show further pa,
tiencc 1he propositions made by Sir
Charles would be considered. He would
however. say that the defeat of the Yu-
kon Railway bill by the Senate two years
ago was a crime. He was not very sure
that the British Columbia Alien bill,
which excluded American miners. was Il
good policy to pursue. Certainly it would
provoke retaliation, and that was not
wanted when these NEGOTIATIONS were ma
der way.

Notice to Allinncclnen.

Since the purpose of the notice TO Al
liancrmen which appeardin last week S
ADVOCATE has by some been miscon-
strued, will try and br little more cX-
plicit.
At til" annual meeting Of the Farmers
State Alliance held in July, 1889. plan
for our Alliance Exchange was adopted.
Thirty-four of the Alliances in Anderson
county ratified the plan adopted by the
State Alliance and took stock in the State
Exchange, aggregating about $500.
The purpose for which the Exchange
was organized having been secured, the
corporation should bt dissolved and the
money contributed by the various subs
should be refunded TO them. But this
can be done only by County Trustee
Stockholders regularly elected, and Coun-
ty Trustee Stockholders can be elected
only by sub Trustee Stockholders, and
to elect sub Trustee Stockholders the
sub Alliances will have to re0rganize.
For the purpose of reOrganizing there
need be only five present who were men,
bers of the Alliance. Dues to the State
and National Alliances amounting to
thirty-five cents each must be paid by
them.
One of the five, if only five participate
in the reorganization, should be elected
a sub-trustee stockholder, and one should
be elected delegate to the County Alli-
ance. The same gentleman may act in
both capacities and must attend meet
ing of the County Alliance, which has
been called on Monday, the 9Th day of
June next.
At the annual meeting of the State AL
lance If three-fourths Of the stock of the
Farmers State Exchange is represented
by county trustee stockholders, duly
elected, the corporation may be dissolved
and the money held by it refunded to
the subs that contributed, otherwise it
cannot be done.
Action must be taken at once if you
desire to secure this money. When re-
turned it may be given to those who con-
tributed it, or it may be used for any
public purpose, such as furnishing, re-
pairing or building schoolhouses, or you
might give to the Monument fund.- to
be used by the women of Anderson
County in erecting monument to the
memory of the Confederate dead. The
only purpose of the reorganization is to
secure the return of this money.

Will recall the account by IIcrodotus of
the method adopted by Nerves. for
rn'lncrating his army before setting
out upon his invasion Of Greece. The
Persian drspot simply ordered 10000
men drawn up cOInpactly and Il line of
earth thrown up around them. Then
the soldiers were withdrawn and other
soldiers marched in until the space was
iillcd; these were set down ut 10000,
and the operation was repeated until
all the army had been III. rchcd i'm and

the ancient Persian's idea of IL report
to the acting assistant adjlltant gener-
ais Office.
But the census idea has taken IL firm
hold of the mind OF the modern statis-
tician. and an attempt in to be made to
secure Il counting OF all the people of
the world next year. At the recent
convention Ol the international Statis-
teal Association, held at Bcrne, Swift
zerland, plans were made to have a
census taken of the entire world for
the first time, and a committee on ways
and means. consisting of scientists,
geOgraphcrs and statisticians. was ap-
pointed to work for as complete n count
as possible. With few exceptions, all
the countries OF the world will join in
the world census of 1900, and the
twelfth census Of the United States
will form part of it. The population
of the world has been subject for
guess work, and even after the census
of 1900, mere conjecture will still play
n large part in all the estimates of the
number of the worlds inhabitants.

tingen, who have made one of the most
recent estimates, place the population
of the globe at LOO, 900, 600. Mamches-
