and strung up. AS his feet left the
ground hundreds of shots from the
mob were fired into his body. After he
was dead he was taken down and his
body cut into small pieces and distrib-
uted among the mob, which numbered
two or three hundred.
Mack is the man who led Sammins
into the Ogletree home, and, after rob-
bling the inmates, assaulted Mrs. Ogle-

party of II people of the Bens expedi-
ton, who left Port Townsend June IL,

w. Bens, of Clay City, Ky, survives.
For IL weeks she watched over her sick
husband, and when he died she was left
alone. After walking nine miles she
found cabin in which three fishermen
were wintering. Here she became sick
of scurvy, but finally reached St.
Michaels ard took passage for San
Francisco on the Bertha. she will 60 to
Bay City, Mich, where she has a
mother, brother and sister. 1t was not
until Mrs. Bens reached Nulate on her
way south that she heard that the men,
bers of the party which had been left
behind on the steamer Elk had all died
during the winter and spring of scurvy.
Stories of privations at St. Michaels

RECIPROCITY WITH FRANCE.
Long Pending Negotiations Are FL
nally Completed and Treaty
IL Signed.

Washington, July 25. - The long
pending reciprocity treaty negotiations
between the United States and France
were brought to a successful close at
the state department last Monday aft
ernoon, when Ambassador Cambon, in
behalf of France, and Commissioner
Kasson, in behalf of the United States,
affixed their signatures to the reciproc-
ity treaty. 1t is by far the most inn
portant treaty concluded under the
reciprocity. provisions of the Dingley
law, and the only one affecting the
trade with large commercial nation.
The negotiations were marked by
rather sharp and long continued dis
cussions, which continued up to the
time the signatures were placed on the
document. In the end a spirit of COM
promise prevailed, and each side yield
ed something. AS whole, both sides
express satisfaction with the general
results secured, for while the compro.
mise necessitated some minor sacri-
fees, the general effect of the treaty
will encourage commerce between the
two countries.
The treaty will result in placing the
products of the United States on the
same basis in France as products OF
Great Britain and Germany. At pres.
ent these countries have the minimum
French rate, while the American goods,
with few exceptions, have had to pay
the maximum rate.

TALKS ABOUT WAR.
Sir Wilfrfd Laurier Says That Is One
Way to Settle Alaskan Bound,
ary Question.

Ottawa, Ont, July PA violent crit
icism of the American position con-
corning the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton by Sir Charles Upper at Saturday
mornings sitting of the house brought
forth a statement from Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. He said:
1T is clear that there are only two ways
by which the difficulty now may be settled,
arbitration or war. I have no hope at this
moment that we can settle the question
by compromise. No one wants war. We
must exhaust every means of removing
the difficulty by peaceful methods. have
not given up hope that 1t is possible to
agree to arbitration. Negotiations are
still going on. We must find some means
of bringing about peaceful settlement"
Sir Charles Topper said the United
State had pursued an unjustifiable course
in this matter, and spoke of the attitude
Of the American press in telling their read
ers that Great Britain and the United
States would of themselves have been able!
to reach satisfactory conclusion, but that
Canada stood in the way. The United
States in refusing to submit the subject
to arbitration we'll justified, in his opinion,
the decision Great Britain and Canada
had reached to decline to allow the other
questions to go before the high commits
sion. His belief was that the government
and commissioners OF the United States
had lost confidence in their own claims to
this strip of territory.
