L. G.. Powers, commissioner of
labor, one of the first officers to
have his official head taken off by
the new administration, is man
whose ability in this and kindred
lines of work is recognized through
out the country and he will be
greatly missed in this department.
He has made the labor bureau
what it is and has taken up ques-
tions of benefit to the working
men and farmers which have been
enacted into beneficial laws. His
successor is mason by trade and
while he may be a good man in
his work he will never be able to
make a commissioner of himself.
Mr.. Powers is now engaged to
write some articles on social and
industrial topics for Harper's
Magazine. Minnesota is one OF
the few states that have been able
to make anything out of labor

The mine men assert that they save
big money by trading in Duluth or
even at Tower. Most OF their mining
machinery can be purchased In Du-
luth and enter Canada free of duty
under u special act to that effect and
all strictly mining supplies are also
duty free, What Is wanted is road
over which such freight can be haul
ed. The crane Lake road is said to be
all right except at the north end
were moderate outlay is needed and
the mine men hope that the county
commissioners will meet half way.

WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
london Begins to Regard 1t AS "A Serious
Possibility.

London, June 8.-The morning papers
are beginning to talk seriously of the
possibility of war in South Africa. Mr.
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, in his speech in the house Of
commons yesterday announced that his
reply to the petition of the Uitlanders
which had been held back pending the
result of the conference at Bloemfon-
tein, would now be presented to the
Transvaal.
This reply is semi-officially described
as explicit but conciliatory" but it is
believed to be in the nature of a prac-
tical ultimatum. The resources of Iii
plomacy are regarded as exhausted
with the failure of the conference. Moth
ing is left, it is felt, but a recourse to
force.
Commenting editorially on the situa-
ton, the Daily Mail says: IF we
know President Kruger Alright, he will
back down, and if not, why?"
The Daily Chronicle deprecates MIR
Chamberlain's warlike attitude, but
does not deny the gravity of the situa-
tion, and seriously counsels the Beers
to grant reasonable reforms las the
only means of preserving their inde-
pendence against the plots of the
stock exchange and the violence of
Downing street.
The Standard reminds the Transvaal
that its independence is not absolute.
but is contingent on a faithful execu-
tlon of the agreement stipulating equal
rights for all white inhabitants, 1t
says: Let Mr. Kruger grant the Tit
landers full citizenship and the whole
question is ended
The Capetowr correspondent of the
Times says: "At the close of the confer
ence Mr.. Kruger declared that he was
pleased at the friendly way in which
matters had been discussed and hoped
they would understand each other bet
ter in the future

VESSELS IN DISTRESS.
The Bark Hesper the Worse for Set-to
With Hurricane.

Port Townsend. Wash, June S.--Ac-
cording to advices brought by the
steamship Tacoma from the Orient, the
bark Hesper, which sailed from this
port March 9, lumber laden. for kioa
Chiu, came near being numbered among
the missing. On April 2S, when in the
neighborhood of the Ladrones, a hur
ricane was encountered, causing the
deck load to shift and throwing the
vessel on her beam end. The main rail
stanchion and bulwarks were carried
away and the vessel became waterlog-
ged with four feet of water all over her
deck and with a list of fully eight
planks to port. In that condition the
vessel sailed nearly 1000 miles. One
hundred and twenty miles from Naga-
sah she was spoken by the United
States transport Pennsylvania and an
offer was made to take her captain and
crew on board or to tow her into port.
Both offers were refused. The Penn
sylvania sent a quantity of provisions
to the Waterlogged vessel and proceed
ed to Nagasaki. Captain Sodergren,
who was accompanied by his wife, had
his quarters in a tent on the higher
portion of the deck She reached her
destination May 27.
The Nagasaki press reports a serious
accident to the steamship Benlawers on
May Is, three hours run from Naga-
Saki, by striking an uncharted rock.
The vessel was running at full speed
when she struck and hung fast. The
rock penetrated the vessel amidship. A
boat with the second officer and three
men We're sent ashore to send a mes
sage to Nagasaki for assistance. The
authorities looked with suspicion on the
boats crew, as they did not have rpgu-
lation passports, and detained them "a
hours pending investigation, at the end
of which time a message was permitted
To Ia d ot.,l
and taken to Nagasaki Her damages
are estimated at 10000 yen. The only
passenger on the Benlawers was DR..

will be sufficient, it is expected to pre-
vent any further conflicts. These points
are as follows: On the White Pass at
the old Canadian custom house, in the
pass, on the Chilcoot pass likewise at the
Canadian custom house, which has exist
ed for the past Is months, on the Dali
ton trail just above the Indian village
of Kluckwan. The first two points were
easily fixed: the hitch of moment has
been over the location of the divisional
point on the Dalton trail The modus
provides only for temporary delimita-
ton, but there is great reason to believe
the lines it will establish in the end will
be accepted by both parties as the best
position Of the vexed boundary issue.
London, June S.-The correspondent of
the associated press learns upon high au-
thority that the Alaskan modus vivend
does not imply that the boundary ques-
ton has been settled or compromised, but
simply that temporary boundary has
been arranged and will be preserved for
two years, which interval will be available
for the settlement of the main question
at issue.

for the armored ships already author

stated that they could not furnish
krupp armor of the high grade re-
quired by the department at the price
fixed by law, but that they could con-
tinue the supply of Harveyized armor
at $400 per- ton, the secretary has or
dered the purchase of some of the
latter.
The bureau chiefs have reported that
this Harveyized armor would answer
the requirements for the armor of the
four monitors to be built and also for
the diagonal plates of the Maine. Mis-
souri, and Ohio, now under construc-
ton. The diagonal plates were wrought
into the ships at an early period of the
construction and the secretary's decis-
ion will go far toward preventing the
delay that would ensue had it been
decided to purchase no armor
