Kyle on Trusts.

London, Oct. 13.-Sir Louis Henry
and fisheries. informs the Associated
Press that he has given Canada's con-
sent to temporary arrangement of the
Alaskan dispute. This has practically
settled the whole matter for the time
being, as the main features of the ar
arrangements were originally suggested
by the United States. American Sec
|retary of State Hay will sign the last
papers within few days and Reginald
Tower. British charge in Washington,
will ratify on behalf of Great Britain.
Sir Louis Davies said last evening:
The terms agreed upon are simply
a line drawn across Chilkat Pass, de-
limited by the river and mountain top.
1t has absolutely no significance except
that we hope thereby to avert local
friction. OF course an arrival at even
a temporary agreement is satisfactory.
So far as the original contention is con-
cerned we are just as misty as ever.
see no sign of reaching an Immediate
settlement.
Canada relinquishes no claim by her
assent to this temporary arrangement
and she has not the slightest intention
of allowing her original contention to
lapse into obscurity. 1t is not our pur-
pose to permit this new understanding
to extend day longer than it is neces-
sary.
Tine case will not come before the
joint high commission unless a diplo-
lmatic settlement is previously at
| tained."

the female stage robber incarcerated
here, awaiting trial on an indictment
in the United States court. has
broken Jail by cutting fifteen-inch
opening through the wall ten feet above

on the east or south coast to slowly
march into the interior. Efforts will
doubtless be made to flank the enemy,
but that can be attempted by forces
sent out from Manila.
When the Filipinos began the war on
the Americans last February it was the
opinion of the best informed Filipinos as
we'll as Americans at Manila that after
three or four sound drubbings Aguinal-
do would be ready to sue for peace. The
government proceeded on that theory,
and Gen. Otis accomplished all that was
expected of him. He did not have
enough men to garrison the territory
abandoned by the retreating enemy and
President Mckinley did not hold him
responsible for his inability to per-
form the impossible. Hence there has
been no wavering in the confidence of
the Washington authorities, although
some yellow newspapers have been
bowling for the recall of Gen. Otis.
The new campaign will be conducted
on entirely new plans. The hostile ter
if necessary, and once taken it will be
held by armed forces.
The Americans will prove their good
ment, as they have in the territory adj
jacent to Manila. Each town will be
provided with native mayor and other
officials. and the Filipinos will be en-
couraged TO conduct as many of the
functions of the civil government as
possible. All this will, of course, be UNI
Ider the direction of the militory powers,
but the natives will be given the largest
latitude compatible with peace, justice
and good order.
1T is believed the Filipinos will soon
see the benefits arising from an order

| Idly acduiesce and lend themselves to
the plan of pacitication.
Gen Funstons strong endorsement of
Gen. Otis and his military ability are
respectfully pleasing to administration

Funston has won the confidence of
the country by his dashing fighting
qualities He fought under as trying
l8conditions as fall to the lot of any OF
the troops in the Philippines. and his
statement that Otis has made no mis-
takes of Importance is expected to have
a good effect in counteracting the jibes
of the yellow papers.
His support of the policy of expan-
sion and his assertion that the Philip

Not Opposed TO Immigration.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Dr j. III. Sem
ner, former United States commission
er of immigration at the port of New
York, was before the industrial COM
mission for several hours yesterday.
He based his remarks largely upon the
agitation against immigration and
proceeded to show that from his stand
point it was not justified. He argued
that the present law is amply sufficient
and took strong ground against the
Lodge bill. contending that there had
been a marked falling off in immigra-
ton in the past few years. The Wit
ness contended that the most marked
falling off had been from the countries
populated by the most intelligent peo-
Pile, such as the United Kingdom, Ger
many and the Scandinavian states. He
attributed this increase to what he
termed the unequalled vexations to
steerage passengers inflicted upon
landing in the United States. Often
these passengers We're not allowed to
come ashore for days, and during this
time they We're treated practically as
prisoners. Mr.. Senner criticised the
1 Lodge bill as calculated to increase
the present vexations to the better
class of Immigrants. AS protective
measure for American working men he
thought such a law as was proposed
4 by this bill would be ineffective, as II
would not keep out skilled laborers.
The proper place for an educational
test was in the naturalization office.
/ He recommended that immigration in
spectors should be familiar with the
1 language of the countries supplying
the Immigrants and resented the
charge which. he said had been made
4 that foreign born inspectors would no,
be sufficiently rigid. The service suf-
fers he said. through the presence OF
4 political drones. He also argued that
as rule, immigrants from whatever
country soon became good citizens.

general advance all along the line Of
development, progress and prosperity.
Under the new regime, the old system
of planting and farming will be great
ly improved, as Mas been and is being
done even now, by diversification Of
crops, whereby the farmer and planter
will be more independent by raising
many of his supplies that he formerly
purchased from abroad. II ne contin-
ues to raise cotton on large scale he
will see to it that much of 1t finds a
home market by having a cotton mill
near by the plantation. which will add
largely to his revenue, and consequent
ly to his enjoyment and pleasure.
The south needs more manufac-
tories. There is no section OF our
country that surpasses or even equals
the south in point OF natural advan-
tages for great manufacturing centers,
and there is no branch of manufacture
ing industries that can not as success
fully be carried on in that section as In
any other. It's two great needs are
people and capital, and these can be
secured only by immigration. During
the last decade good beginning has
been made. and the volume of capital
and the tide of people have been roll
ing in, but the movement is yet in its
infancy
THE south has unlimited opportuni-
ties and may we all take advantage
thereof"

Work OF Industrial Commission.


Chicago, Oct Ex-senator James II.
Kyle of South Dakota, was inter-
viewed here concerning the work of
the industrial commission, of which he
is member. Senator Kyle said:
Our committee expects to report to
congress bill the middle of January
on the trust and immigration matters
which 1t has been investigating. We
have become satisfied from the testi-
mony of all interests before the COM
mission that the prevailing opinion in
the country is that the trust has come
to stay / believe the information we
have collected in regard to transporta-
ton will result in a new interstate COM
merce law which will include many of
the features contained in the Cullom
bill.
Many have testified before the com
mittee concerning the Importance of
publicity in relation to the operations
of the large corporations and 1t Will
undoubtedly be one of the results of
the commissions work that we will
recommend the appointment of an off
cial whose duties will tally with those
of the bank examiner and who shall
gather facts about these companies
which can be used for the benefit of
the government.
.T'he general sentiment Of the com
mission is that there ought to be con-
servative restriction of immigration.
We have found that there are organ
lied societies in Europe that furnish
funds TO undesirable persons with
which to come to America. We have
| information on this point both perth
nent and astonishing.

Leading Mail Order House in the State.
DIES MONIES, IOWA.
WHAT TO ORDER

It's not to be supposed that
women will order by mail the
staple things that they can get
at home. Our mail orders are
not of that character. We are
getting orders at present from
all over the northwest, but more
particularly from central Iowa,
for the new French Flannels for
waists. The field of designs in
this line of goods shows more
beautiful things than ever, in
Guiding the rare new Persian
effects that are being talked
about all over the country.
French Flannels are either in
the plain colors or figured. They
are made up in chic styles and
are very popular for fan wear
81 inches wide at 40, 80, s5, IS and
So cents per yard.
We have never had SO large a
trade through the mails for
black and colored Dress Goods,
and this is. accounted for by rea-
son of the fact that our range of
styles. qualities and prices are
simply unrivaled. Silks, foo, are
having a great boom, while the
Glove Sale is attracting or
ders from every source.
