seas, the Russian men-of-war seized these
American vessels within seven miles of
the Asiatic coast. 1t Is a matter of IN
terest that for the first time the Russian
Government contends that marine juris-
dtctiOn of a country extends at least this
distance from the shore instead of being
limited to a marine league, as laid down
by the older writer's on international law
The league was fixed originally because
it represented the extreme distance from
shore that a shot could be thrown by one
of the old cannon used in coast defense
and the Russians hold that the limit
should be extended to correspond to the
increased range of modern ordnance
The protocol through which the arbitra =
ton was arranged was prepared in St
Petersburg by United States Minister
Tower and the Russian Foreign Office
1t was agreed by the parties that there
should be but one arbitrator. and the
person selected for that post is Mr.. Asser.

prominent part in The Hague conference.

BREASTWORK ABOUT
THE TOWN OF NAC0
Mexican Authorities Preparing to
Resist Threatened Attack by the
CowbovS

BISBEE. Ariz., Oct. 24.-Intense excite
ment has reigned among both American
and Mexican residents at Naco all day to-
day. The Mexican garrison was rein
forced late last night by detachments of
infantry and cavalry from La Marta and
Magdalena. AS soon as the additional
forces arrived the Mexicans began pre-
pairing for an attack. They threw up
breastworks around the town, extending
to within 300 feet of the boundary line.
Several field pieces were also rolled into
position and the works were manned by
a Gordon of soldiers with an advance line
of mounted pickets thrown out to patrol
the border and keep lookout for the in
vaders
Babe Thompson, the recognized leader
of the cowboys, has counseled them
against making an assault on the Mexi-
can works until every means has been
exhausted to secure the release of the
two prisoners without resort to violence.
Judge Mendoza held court last night
and sent word across the border that he
had decided to release Joseph Rhodes on
a bond of $5000 The bond was promptly
made and Rhodes was surrendered to his
friends. George Maarts is still being held
and the indications now are that he will
also be released within a few hours.

stringency of the money market was dis
cussed. Nothing will be done at present
to relieve the situation, as it is believed
that in the natural course of events the
heavy war expenditures will reduce the
large surplus in the treasury.
The Cabinet decided to allow vessels
purchased by American citizens to engage
in the Philippine interisland trade. Under
the laws Of the United States foreign yes
sells cannot engage in coastwise trade,
and as all the trading vessels in the
Philippines flew the Spanish flag much
embarrassment resulted. Many of these
vessels have now passed into American
hands, and the Secretary of War will
shortly issue an order permitting them
to fly the American flag and enjoy all the
privileges of American register.
Information was placed before the Cab
met showing that about 300 negroes en-
ployed by Government contractors at Key
West had been thrown out of their jobs
by the yellow fever at that point and that
many of them were in destitute circum-
stances owing to the suspension of work
The contractors will be notified that they
must resume operations at least to the
extent of employing these men.

Maru 41o VI ShiSa .a5 arrived t ia this evening
a terrific typhoon, said to have
been the worst ever experienced at
Toxic and Yokohama, which visited those
cities and the Japanese coast on Satur-

One of the disastrous consequences was a
shocking railway accident, which oc-
Cured on the River Hokigawa, on the
Japan Railway Company's line.
Just as the storm was developing its
greatest force a train happened to be
crossing the iron bridge over the Hoki-
gawa. This bridge, which is situated be-
tween the stations of Yaita and NoZaki
has a length of 1044 feet. The river
though of small dimensions under ordi-
nary circumstances, had been consider
ably swollen by the rains. The train,
from it's exposed position on the bridge
could not resist the pressure of the wind
The locomotive, owing to its greater
weight, crossed safely. but all the car
riages were tumbled into the bed of the
stream, their coupling with the locomo-
tive being severed. The loss of life is
estimated at between thirty and forty
and twenty-three persons were severely
wounded Fourteen bodies have been
taken out of the wreckage of the train in
the river.
On the Tokiado line there was a tidal
wave flooding the whole district and in

BOUNDARY
Practical Agreement Upon a Modus
ViVendi.
some MINOR POINTS TO Be SETTLED
The United States to Have Control
of the Tidewaters.
WHERE THE LINE WILL RUN

Agreeably to appointment Secretary Hay
had a conference this morning with Mr..
Tower, the charge of the British embassy
here, relative to the Alaskan modus yivendi
The Secretary had already given considera
ton to the iast proposition of the British
government and was prepared to submit
the answer flom the United States, which
in this case takes the form of another
proposition. This proposition differs in no
essential from that which has already serv-
ed as The basis of the agreement between
Secretary Hay and Mr. Tower, but upon
close scrutiny Of the latest form it was
deemed advi BILE by our government to
make a few changes in the text solely with
the view to c.earing up beyond any chance
of double construction a few of the points
of the agreement. 1t is not doubted that
the changes will be acceptable to the Brit
ish government; indeed, they may be of a
character that will warrant Mr. Tower in
accepting them on his own responsibility.
In such case the agreement may be rati-
fled in very short time.
1t is, however possible that, as matter
of courtesy to his government, Mr..
Tower may conclude to submit the changes
to the foreign office by cable, in which case
the completion of the agreement may be de-
layed day or two.
There will be no formal document to re-
ceiye the SIGNATURES of the parties to the
agreement as was the in the negotia-
ton of the Boring modus vivendi, but
the agreement defining the temporary
boundary will be set out in the notes ex-
changed between Secretary Hay and Mr..
Tower.
The State Department officials con-
fident that Americans will have no cause
to complain that their rights have been
abandoned when the full scope of the agree
ment is made known; while on the other
hand, the Canadians cannot claim properly
that they have lost any right that they
have enjoyed.
The purpose of this particular effort at
a modus was to regulate the boundary
line on the west side of Lynn canal. The
two parties had placed the line of demar-
kation en- Chilcoot and White passes, right
at the top of the passes, and there has
never been the slightest friction at those
points But because of the fact that the
westernmost of the three passes, namely,
Chilcoot pass, was fully forty miles remov-
ed from the sea, the same rule could not be
applied by our representatives without
great loss.
other expedient, and the line of demarka-
ton will run along the klehana river and
from point near Kluckwan cross to
mountain peak on the southwest
The effect will be to give the United
States control of the tidewaters, the Brit
ish being fifteen miles above, to maintain
the American control to the new and i'm
portant Porcupine country, and, lastly, to
absolutely save the rights of all American
of the line. 1t is understood that the mo-
dus will live at the pleasure of both parties
to it. There will be no date fixed for its
expiration.
