ARBITRATION IS WANTED
II Pyramid HarbOr Is Conceded the
Canadians They Will Give up All
Claims to Skagway and Dyea--
Condition Desired Imposed.

London Oct. o4.-The Associated Press
is enabled to give authoratively Cana
da's final proposition for the permanent
settlement of the Alaskan dispute. 1t
is very different from ner former de-
mands and was delivered to Ambassador
Choate by the Canadian minister of war,
marine and fisheries, Sir Louis Henry
Davis, ate the night before the latter
sailed and dispatched to-day to Wash
ington by officials of the United States
embassy. 1t is as follows:
That the boundary line be arbtrated
upon terms similar to those imposed by
the United States and Great Britain over
Venezuela, particularly those provisions
making fifty years occupany or by con-
cusion of evidence of title of occupancy
of less than that period to be taken as
equity allows under International law
That as a condition precedent absolutely
preliminary to arbitration skagway and
| Dyea would be conceded to the United
States without further claims il Canada
received Pyramid harbor.
In other words Canada gives up much
of the disputed gold country in return
for a seaport but stipulates that she mus
get the latter before she agrees to arbi-
trate the boundary line.

Americas Duty.

New York, Oct. PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Clifton
r. Breckenridge, United States minister
to Russia during the second Cleveland
administration, in an interview states
that in case any nation or combna ton
of nations should attempt to embarrass
England in the present war in South At
RIGA, it would be the imperative duty of
the United States to take the part of
Great Britain and sustain her with our
whole moral and material strength. He
said:
Great Britain's action in South Africa
is in line with the duty and develop
ment of the Anglo-SaNon race. In her
present struggle she deserves the unani-
nous support of the American people.
In case other European nations should
through International jealousies attempt
to retard her in the clear and simple
duty she is perfecting al this time. the
conduct of the United States should be
determined by considerations Fighter
than mere political pedancy or political
precedence. We should be enioined by
every sentiment of patriotism and every
consideration Of racial kinshin 10 stand

Heavy Loss Of Life.

New York Oct. PA Gispatch 10 the
World from London says: The ministers
and their supporters are now realizing
that they plunged into the war with reck-
less haste. and the queens ms ssase-in
which she speaks of dearly bought vic
tories" and dreadful loss Of ife'--indi-
cate with a plainness which sh. has
never before permitted herself to indulge
in under like circumstances her dsap-
proval of the war. The British forces
in Natal have already lost in Killed or
wounded nearly 500 men N three days
fighting. The Gordon highianders lost
only one officer and five men killed in
their famous attack on Da,gai heights
in the Afridi campaign. while a Glands
laagte they had four officers killed and
nine wounded, 90 men killed a1d 50
wounded. The Beers distinguish and
shoot the officers by reason ut Their car
rying no rifles, their uniform being the
same as that of the men.

London, Oct. 24.-The war office here
has this morning been attempting to ex-
plain the summary Of the situation in
Wolseley to the house of commons yes
terday. His statement is now said to
have created unnecessary alarm and it
is asserted that what the official note
called Gen. Yule's retirement would be
more accurately described as "a change
of position for tactical reasons, and
that the alarm for the safe v of the
wounded is not justified.
1t is further explained that the wound
ed could not be moved but the fact that
they had to be left to their fate While the
British forces made a strategic move
ment to the rear shows the suspense Of
the house at the absence of subsequent
news is amply justified and that the
heavy fighting on Friday and perhaps
Saturday is perhaps prelude to still
sterner work.
In the absence of authentic news there
are a number of contradictory rumors
af1oat but the most reasonable interpre-
taton of the various reports seems to

practice at Glencoe Saturday and Sun
day. but no fighting at close quarters.
The afternoon papers here sharply
criticize Wolseley's summary of the Ma
tai situation. They say it has a distinct
resemblance to the statement of the
Spanish ministry when preparing their
cOuntrymen for news of the disaster at
Santiago. This, however, is probably an
overstrained view.
great suspense and anxiety exists which
has been increased by the report in cir
culation purporting to emanate from Of
fetal quarters to the effect that the Beers
have secured the services of thirteen
thousand natives.
News has at length been received di-
rect from Col. Baden Powell dated Mafe-
king Oct. Is. 1t confirms the statement
that in the armored train fight the Brit
ish had two men killed and fifteen
wounded, including Lieut.. Lord Charles
Bentineck. Of the Ninth Lancers, slight
i ly wounded.
The latest advices from Kimberly un-
der date of Oct. 81, said the Beers at
tack was still pending and that large
Boer forces in the neighborhood had de-
stroyed big sections of the railroad line,
north and south of the town.

Colonel Yates Record.

Schenectady, n. Y, Oct. 24.-The body
of COL John B. Yates, who died at Ames-
burg, Ont, was brought here for burial
He was 66 years Old and had fine rec

Gen. Yule'S Move.

London, Oct 24.-The parliamentary
secretary of the war office. George Wynd-
ham, in the house of commons today an
nounced that Field Marshal Lord Wolse-
ley, commander in chief of the forces,
sums up the situation in Natal today as
follows:
General Yule has fallen back to effect
a junction with Sir George Stewart
White. He camped esterday evening
about sixteen miles south of Dundee
without seeing anything of the enemy
during the march and it has since been
reported that "All's we'll on the Wasch-
bank river General White fought a
successful action with the Orange Free
State force today on the road between
Ladysmith and New Castle and should
join hands with General Yule this even-
ing. Gen. Yule reports his wounded are
doing we'll. The Boer wounded on our
hands are treated just as our own and
have every occasion to believe the Beers
will treat any of our wounded in their
hands in similarly humane manner
Mr.. Wyndham added ! may remind the
house that the Transvaal is party to
the Geneva convention. Lord Wossiey
further says:
l have also received from Gen. Walk

vancins from the north and west. oblig-
ing General Yule to fall back from Dun
dee and concentrate at Glencoe junction.
This open appeared so vital that it ap-
peared necessary to leave the wounded
al Dundee. News from Glencoe and
from all points at the front is of the
meagerest sort
A special from I.adysmith says: "An
Englshman named Reilly says that when
he was leaving Dundee camp on Satur-
day night the Beers were shelling the
town and camp with heavy guns and
that the English guns wre unable to
make effective return for the reason tina |
This is the reason why General Yule
shifted his camp mile away. so as to
be out of reach of the Boer guns. which
were directing their fire against his mag
azine.'
Kimberley is still panic stricken, and
continues. through Rhodes, to call for
help, but how it is to be secured is at
present a puzzle for the war department.
The Indian transport Palatia arrived at
Durham on Monday ond disembarked a
squadron of the Fifth dragons. These
may go on to Kimberley. but it is un-
likely, in view of Yule's predicament at
Glencoe. More troops are expected at
Capetown daily. Captain Chichester has
gon there to arrange for the military
balloons brought by the Palatia to be
sent to the front.
