very fond of quoting a remark
alleged to have been made by
Admiral Dewey, shortly after
his arrival in the Philippines. to
the effect that he regarded the
Filipinos as on the whole
superior to the native Cubans
and better fitted for self govern
ment. Whether Dewey actually
said this or not, we have no car
tain proof; but if he did, he has
been probably led by further
observation of the Philippine
natives to change his mind. AT
any rate, if we Judge by his latest
reported interview given out on
board the Olympia since it start
ed on it's return home. he is now
in favor of the permanent reten-
ton of the islands by the United
States. He is quoted as saying:
I have the greatest enthusiasm
in the future of the Philippines.
I hope to see Americas posses
sions the key to Oriental com
merce and civilization.
The brains of our great coun-
try will develop the untold agri-
cultural and mineral richness of
the islands.
We must never sell them.
Such an action would bring on
another great war. We will
never part with the Philippines,
1 am sure, and in future years
the idea that anybody should
have seriously suggested it will
be one of the curiosities of his
tory.
"We will never part with the
Philippines" This declaration
cannot fail to make Admiral
Dewey in the eyes of the Aguin-
aldo sympathizers, such as Hoar,
Boutwell,. Atkinson, Gorman and
others of that ilk, au imperialist
of the most advanced type
To the mass of the people who
have such admiration for, and
confidence in, Admiral Dewey,
his words will carry great
weight. If he has has concluded
that it is for the interest Of the

Tramps Rounded UP at Springville
"A Pathetic Incident.

Springville. June 21.-Hoboes in the
vicinity of this city are having live
ly time of it today. All that can be
found are now lodged in the city jail
At few minutes past l o'clock this
morning Sheriff Storrs at Provo called
up DR.. Peterson and directed him to
organize a posse to look out for the
murderer of Officer w. NJ. Strong. DR..
Peterson acted promptly. Men were
called out and all the hoboes to he
found were soon in jail. b. noon five
were under arrest. A Gordon of men
was drawn across the country Just
north of town by the Provo authori-
ties, and every passer-by had to give
an account of himself. A pathetic in
cident occurred here as a consequence.
c. S. Wood warned a north bound team
of the state of affairs north of town,
and advised the two young men in the
wagon to be cool and careful. On one

Canada Makes Unreasonable De-
mands In Boundary Matter.

Washington. June 27.-The negotia-
tons for a modus vivendi regulating
the Alaskan boundary have fallen into
state that jeopardizes successful
outcome and causes apprehension
among officials. Nothing has been
heard from Ambassador Choate as to
the results of the conference he had
today with Lord Salisbury on this sub
ject, but the last phase of the case
was that the Canadians had come back
with a counter proposal in place of
accepting the definite American propo-
sition which had been carefully drawn
with the sole purpose of preventing
any future controversy over the points
already agreed upon between Choate
and Lord Salisbury.
Instead of following the lines of the
American proposal and combining the
counter proposal to a plain statement
of the points already roughly indicated
as marking the boundary. this last is
sue proposed a radical change in the
line on the Dalton trail and was of a
character wholly unacceptable to the
American side, involving, as ii did the
transfer into Canadian Jurisdiction of
the fortunes and claims of many Amer
lean miners.
Unless there is a decided abatement
on one side or the other of the demands
the desired modus will be as unlikely

agreement on the boundary question
and the chance for a reassembling of
the joint high commission will fade

patches to the Tribune says:
As result of a conference between
the president and Secretary Alger this
afternoon. it has been decided TO begin

There will be no call upon the states.
The regiments will be organized as
United States volunteers officers will
be appointed by the president and as
signed to regiments without regard To

total strength of 100000 men. General
Otis has %. 300 men on the ground or
under orders and volunteers will. be

force of $4,000.
In the enlistments for the United
States volunteers. veterans of the late
war including those who did not get
beyond the home camps. but were sea-
soned. will be given the preference and
the same will be true of the officers.
A briga 7ier general for every three regi-
ments and a major general for each
division of three brigades will be ap-
pointed. They will be part regulars

Storrs at . o'clock yesterday morning
was the first known in this city of the
Provo tragedy and Sergeant Burbidge.
/ upon receiving the message, went with
, three officers to meet Rio Grande
! Western freight train, the conductor of
which. he was informed in second
dispatch, would be able to describe five
tramps who rode into Provo with him
at about the time of the shooting. Con-
ouctor Brady, however, knew nothing
/ or such circumstance and had not
heard of the murder until he reached
Salt Lake. The operator even then
conveyed to him the impression that a
man had been run over at Provo. and
both were in perfect Ignorance of the
crime
Conductor Brady remembered two
men who stood near his caboose at
Provo and remarked their presence to
brakeman. The latter replied that
they were both officers.
A man was put off his train at
Bingham. but the conductor was I'M
abie to say whether he had boarded it
at Provo or just before being put
off. He is described as being dark
very short and round shouldered. Ser
geant Burbidge regretted not being
able to reach the train before it pulled
into Salt Lake, but it proved imma-
terial, as the shooting was done after
the train left Provo. Meanwhile, a
close search of the railroad yards was
made, and two tramps taken from box
cars. They claimed to have come from
the north and were discharged in police
court.
The officers are keeping a close look
out for strangers. The shooting is
widely discussed at headquarters. fol-
lowing so closely upon the heels of the
Brown tragedy at Ogden and the kill
ing of Ellison at Layton. The outlook
is not encouraging to the local officers,
win so many tramps headed this way.
SOME of whom are, or will be attracted
by the Salt Palace.
Detective Sheets, from the reports
that have thus far reached here, is in
clined to believe that the killing of
Strong is not the work of hoboes His
theory is that the murdered man had
in custody a crook of the first water,
who had in his possession stolen goods
or evidence that would lead to his con-
viction of some crime. Rather than be
searched and eventually go over the
road, the prisoner. Detective Sheets
believes, watched his opportunity and
deliberately killed the officer TO cover
up these tracks, whatever they may
have been.

Many have jumped at the conclusion
that he is the murderer, but the only
circumstance that would justify this
is that he is a negro and carries IS

ing berries in her yard in the Second
ward today when a man jumped out
of the grass and ran away. Word was
sent at once to the sheriff's office A
diligent search was made, but the man
could not be found. The fellow looked
like a mullatto. Later another man
was scared up between Provo and
Springville. Posses were sent from
each town and the fields and entire
section between the two points
searched without result. The man was
last seen making for the lake.
Armed men are guarding the entire

strung around the outskirts. The Of
ficers have worked hard today and
seem determined to find the murderer.
