AGREEMENT CAN'T
LAST VERY LONG
The ALASKAN Modus Vivendf Liable to
Break Down at Any Moment.
Anglo American Entente.

London, Oct. 21.-The Saturday Re
view, commenting upon the Alaska
modus vivendi. says:
THE talk of Anglo good
will, which has been indulged in even
more freely than usual during the
week, is mere moonshine so long as
the Alaska boundary question remains
unsettled. American obstinacy has re-
suited in a temporary arrangement,
minister of the fisheries and marine,
says canot be dignified by the name of
modus vivendi. Such an arrangement
in itself is a menace. 1t may break
down at any moment and then what
would happen? So far as diplomacy is
concerned, we are at an absolute dead
lock-
Despite the foregoing there is no
doubt that the Anglo American en-
tente has received much impetus by
the action of the United States gov
ernment in undertaking to look out for
British interests in the Transpaal, and
although Americas refusal to perform
the function would have raised a howl,
it does not deter the general feeling
from being one Of satisfaction and
gratefulness to the United States.

adopted the conduit system of electric

in position on the hill behind Peter

to wake us they put several shots and

up of all the ranks outside the camp.

! CRACKERJACK GAME
Yale Wins From Wisconsin on
the Gridiron.
MADE A THRILLING RUN
The Game Was Decided in the Last Five
Minutes OF Play-It Was a Fierce
ly Fought Contest-O'Dea
Great Kicker.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 21.-The INIT
versity of Wisconsin football eleven had
her colors lowered by Yale here this
AFTERNOON in a contest, the final score
of which was Yale 6. Wisconsin 0, but
the Yale men required nearly all of the
80 minutes play to secure the single
touchdown and goal which constituted
her victory over the young men who
came from the West to wage the bat
tie The game in many respects was
the finest ever witnessed on the Yale
grounds, for it was not until within the
last five minutes of the play that Yale
was able to cross the coveted goal line
AT that the play was of an extraordi-
nary character and the scoring came
only after a thrilling run of 65 yards by
Richards, the Yale half back, who was
carried by magnificent interference past
the Wisconsin's rush line and then be-
ing left to his own resources, wiggled
his way through the entire Wisconsin
back field, eluding the four crack backs
Of the Badgers and ultimately planting
the ball squarely behind the goal
posts.
Two 25-minute halves were played
and throughout the two periods, the
the hearts of the Yale rooters by SAM
pies of football Whoch seemed to be in
Vlncible When nearly every spectator
had concluded that the game would end
in u tie at nothing to nothing, Rich
ards, a Yale half back who replaced
Chadwick in the second half. was given
the pigsllin He received it on Yale's
45-yard line and in a trice pocketed
himself in a bunch of clever interfer-
ence which protected him to the rush
line. Here matters became exciting and
he broke away from his interference
and darted out into the open with the
four Wisconsin backs converging upon
him. The first man ne lodged: a sec
ond he eluded with q clever foot move
ment. the third he bowled over with his
free arm and then proceeded to run
around and away from the last oppo- sg
nent. who went after him as the fleet
runner sped toward the line. He
touched down and a goal was kicked,
rendering a score of 6. t
The most striking feature of Wis
consn's play was found in the sole de-
pendence of the Westerners upon Cap
tain O'Dea's kicking ability. Not more
than half dozen times during the
game did the visitors undertake to ad-S
vance the ball by rushes,; it being al
most the unvariable rule to send it back
to O'Dea for booting This marvellous
man displayed kicking prowess which
has never been equaled on the Yale field
and the honors were at his way in this
department in the game. He was
placed at a disadvantage in the matter
of drop kicking for his team seemed
unable to get within striking distance
However, he made four attempts at
goals from the field and all were fall
ures. Two of them were out and out
misses and twice his kicks were nicely
blocked by Yale men.

WILL AVOID TROUBLE.
Fairbanks Opinion of the Temporary
Boundary Line.


Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 21-United
States Senator Fairbanks was much
interested this morning in a state
ment from Washington that a tempo
rary Alaskan boundary line had been
agreed upon, thus for the time dispos-
ing of possibility of serious trouble
over the dispute. Asked what effect
the temporary boundary line would
have, the senator said:
THE temporary boundary line
agreed upon is important, as it defines
for the time being the rights of the
United States and Great Britain in the
portion Of territory where there has
been for some time serious danger of
collisions between citizens of the
United States and the subjects of Great
Britain. This discovery of gold in the
Porcupine district within the last year
within the disputed zone has caused
considerable apprehension it being
feared that a collision might occur be-
tween the citizens and subjects of the
respective countries. Under the mo-
dus vivendi Just adopted the line be-
tween the countries is defined so that
all possibility OF any serious friction
will be removed pending the final set
tlement of the permanent boundary.
The present line is subject, of course,
to the ultimate determination of the
boundary

Minneapolis. Mimi. Oct. s1.-The

Fifty-first Iowa volunteers and other
soldiers to the number of 100, should
reach San Francisco within two or
three days unless it suffered serious
accident in the typhoon which struck it
soon after 1t left Yokohama on October

News of disquieting sort is brought
by Colonel Charles DENLY and Prof.

bers of the Philippine commission who
are returning pots haste to Washing

were seen floating on the frothy sea
over which the typhoon had swept

but L am forced to admit there is
cause Tor some apprehension of the
fate Of the Senator. 1t would not be
we'll to say at this time the transport
is lost, for that would perhaps cause
needless anguish to the friends and
relatives OF those aboard it, but it is

The date of sailing from Yokohama
was set for Oct. 8, but in the meantime
word was received from the Manila
observatory that a. typhoon was mov-
ing northward and would pass near the
Japanese coast. Many of the American
colony urged the captain not to sail
the Senator out of port that date, but
he told them to put away their fears,
and he slipped his mooring and set out
for home. The following day the EN-
press of Japan sailed out of Yokohama
for Vancouver with Colonel DENLY and
Professor Worcester aboard. They left
the Japanese post at sunrise and be-
fore sundoWn they were being tossed
by the rim of the typhoon. The En-
press of Japan shifted its course and
ran from the typhoon.
