JOINT HIGH COMMISSION.
The President to Name successo

The President to Name n Successor
to the Late Mr.. DinEIey.
Secrecy and closed doors are now the
order at the sessions of the Anglo Ameri-
can Joint High Commission. The treaty
is near completion and the strain over
the few disputed articles is growing more
intense at each session.
Yesterday the Commission held a Joint
session which was followed by separate
sessions of the Canadians and the Ameri-
cans. The proceedings at the separate
sessions are being carefully guarded. but
1t is known that no satisfactory agreement
has yet been reached on the Alaskan
boundary question.
The subcommittee are still hard at
work and the hours OF labor have been
extended far into the afternoon.
1t is now understood that the President
will appoint another member of the Com
mission TO fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Mr.. Dingley. This will be done
in order to have the treaty signed b. five
commissioners. 1t is expected that Repre-
sentative Tawney of Minnesota will re-
ceiye the appointment.
Gen. John W. Foster is still unable TO
assume his duties as Commissioner owing
to Illness. The work of completing the
treaty is therefore confined TO Messrs
Fairbanks, Faulkner. and Kasson.

Musical Washington Turn. Ont TO
Hcnr the Celebrated Pianist


Hcnr the Celebrated Pianist.
Moriz Rosenthal, the pianist, was given
a reception by musical Washington at the
Columbia Theatre yesterday afternoon
which must have been flattering even to
so distinguished an artist. Though Mr..
Rosenthal came heralded by gracious press
notices. the anticipation of the audience
was not placed too high. The pianist
proved himself the peer OF those great
vrtuosos who have visited this city dur
ing the last decade, namely Joseffy, d'Al-
berta, Won Bulow. Paderewski, Slavinski,
and others
The theatre was we'll filed, despite the
uncomfortable character of the weather,
and the applause came in mighty volumes
at the close of each number. forcing the
player to render several selections as en-
cores.
The programme was varied and none of
the numbers was too heavy for popular
appreciation. The artist interpreted Bach,
Couperin, Scarletti. Chopin, Schubert,
and Brahms, and also played a compost
tion of his own, The Vienna Carnival" "
on the theme of Johann Strauss's waltzes.
The technique of the artist was raptu-
ously applauded and his tone and color
were appreciated by the audience.

known in Leominster.
Lane was arrested twice the same
evening. With Sudlebeck and Sturns he
tried to use the platform of the Union
depot for trotting course, and Officer

scented to have Lane bailed, on the con-
dition that the trio would take electric
cars and return to Leominster. Clerk

out as security. This was at 40 o'clock.
At IL o'clock the police heard the men
kicking vigorously at the doors of II ow-
ards stables They were Lane. Sudle-
beck and Sturns. They were all locked
up. All were released on bail this
morning.

LATTER QUITS AT THE FINISH

Fitchburg, Sept. 4.-The Young
Mems Catholic Lyceum Of this city
scored its second success today by car
rying out list of sports that attracted
several thousand people to Fitchburg
Park. and thoroughly interested them
in the days events.
The various athletes of the city, in
Guiding Remington, Marks and Maren,
were out, as well as prominent runners
from Worcester and other parts of New
England. The college athletes were well
represented. The event that interested
a large majority was the match race
between Moynihan of Worcester and
Remington of this city, old-time rivals.
The failure to get these men together
last year made the rivalry all the more
intense, and the race was watched with
| the keenest interest. Moynihan and
| Remington were greeted with great APP
plause as they toed the scratch, and
must have been spurred to their best
by their reception. While Moynihan
may have looked in the better condition
of the two from the fact of his constant
training, local sports did not lose their
| faith in the plucky Fitchburg runner,
| and betting was free in his favor.
At the sound of the pistol Reming
ton, who had the pole, took the lead,
| and set so hot a pace that he ran Moy-
nihan the race of his life Both men
