LISTENED TO IRELAND.

The Archbishop Addresses the Catholic
Union Society of Great Britain.
LONDON, June 29.-The Duke of Nor
folk, premier duke, hereditary marshal
and chief butler of England, presided
at a special meeting of the Catholic
union society Of Great Britain, convened
to hear an address by Archbishop Ire
land
Archbishop Ireland expressed his
pleasure at having an opportunity to
address some Of the great hereditary
families of England who had distin-
guished themselves in science, art and
literature. The liberty granted by
England to Roman Catholicism would,
he believed, greatly influence the ma
lions Of the world who would initiate
her on this subject and her, example
would thus be"the means Of extending
the church of Rome throughout the
world.
Referring to the cordial relations be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States the archbishop said he hoped this
friendship would increase as the years
passed-a sentiment which was received
with hearty cheers.

OUTCOME VERY DOUBTFUL.
Alaskan Boundary Negotiations Again
Jeopardized.

Alaskan Boundary Negotiations Again
Jeopardized.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-The negotia-
tions for a modus vivendi regulating
the Alaskan boundary have fallen into
a state that jeopardizes a successful
outcome and causes apprehension
among officials. Nothing has been
heard from Ambassador Choate as to
the results Of the conference he had
during the day with Lord Salisbury on
this subject, but the last phase of the
case was that the Canadians had come
back with counter proposal in place
Of accepting the defnitive American
proposition which had been carefully
drawn with the sole purpose of pre-
venting any future controversy over the
points already agreed upon between
Choate and Lord Salisbury.
Instead of following the lines of the
American proposal and combining the
counter proposal to plain statement of
the points already roughly indicated as
marking the boundary, this last issue
proposed radical change in the line on
the Dalton trail and was of character
wholly unacceptable to the American
side, involving as it did the transfer
into Canadian jurisdiction Of the for
tunes and claims of many American
miners. Unless there is a decided
abatement on one side or the other of
the demands, the desired modus will be
as unlikely Of attainment as was the
permanent agreement on the boundary
question and the chance for reassem-
bling of the joint high commission will
fade away entirely.

II Is Stated to BE Such That the Presi.

NEW York, June 80. "A special tc
The Herald from Washington says:
The state Of Mrs. McKinley's health
at. this time is decidedly worse than it
has; usually been since she has been in
the White House, and the probable re-.
suit will be that the president will re-
main in Washington practically all
summer, and will take very little, if
any vacation out of this city. ~ -.
President McKinley's projected trip
to the Pacific coast, which has been
looked forward to in anticipation of en-
joyment for himself and improvement
in Mrs. McKinley's condition, has been
definitely abandoned. His proposed
trip to Minnesota has also been aban-
doned. ~
The unfavorable turn in Mrs. McKin-
ley's condition is attributed partly to a
cold which she contracted just before
leaving Washington. e She is never
strong and this cold seemed to weaken
her to such an extent as to make it adj
visable to avoid exertion which would
have been necessary had she remained
away as long as had been intended.
1t is not expected that Mrs. McKin-
ley will have to stay in the house. She
will be able to drive about the city as
heretofore, and it is probable that she
and the president, if they do not leave
the city again for any long stay, will
take occasional outings on the Potomac,
on the auxiliary gunboat Sylph, which
is very comfortable vessel for such ex-

CHICAGO, June pa combination
similar to that recently organized by
Iowa jobbers is said to have been formed
by some of the most prominent whole
sale grocers of Minnesota, for the pur-
pose of buying goods in large quanti-
ties and thus placing themselves in a
position better to compete with Chicago
concerns. Full details of the new or
ganization, of which Mr.. Cooper, of
Griggs, Cooper & Co. of St. Paul, is
said to be the prime mover, have not
yet been decided upon. It is asserted
that the com bination will reduce ex-
penses materially by dismissing about
half of the travelling men employed by
the individual houses. Other reduc-
ti6ns in expenses will be made possible
by the combine, and the increased mar
gin of gain will be of material benefit

<dred convicts in the Anamosa peniten-

to work. They claim that the rations
are insufficient in quantity and inferior

the quarries, where about 100 men are
employed. They refused to work when
sent to the pits in the morning and the
efforts of the guards were unavailing.
When the men were brought back to

RACE WAR IS ON.
White and Colored Miners Engage in a
Bloody Conflict in Alabama

White and Colored Miners Engage in q
Bloody Conflict in Alabama.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Junes 29.-Three
negroes are dead and one is not ex-,
pected to live as result Of riot be-
tween the white and negro miners at
the ore mines near Cardiff, in Jefferson
county. The dead are Ed Ellis, Jim
Dill and Adams Samuels. The two
races came to clash in Glasgow hol-
low, where the negroes had congre-
gated, armed with Winchester rifles.
A white man passing along the road
was held up and, besides being abused,
was roughly handled. This news soon
spread and an armed body of white
miners moved toward the hollow. It is
supposed that they went around by a
circuitous route in the mountains and
came upon the negroes unexpectedly.
Ed Ellis, the ringleader, armed with a
Winchester and Colts revolver,
Fell on the First Shot,
A rifle bullet did the work. There was
another volley and four of the other
negroes fell. Jim Dill and Adam Sam
uels died in few minutes after being
removed to a negro house. George
Thomas was shot through the abdomen
with Winchester bullet He is not
expected to recover.
The trouble started Monday when it
was thought that John Shepherd, who
on last Wednesday afternoon assaulted
Mrs. Monroe Jones near Corona, was in
that community. The negroes armed
themselves to prevent his capture and
the fight resulted. Influential citizens
say that the ringleaders are now out
of the way and they hope to manage
the other negroes. Shortly after the
riot Sheriff O'Brien left here with 100
armed men. He now has the situation
in hand.

mine of wealth. See that your claims

Before the words were fairly out of
his mouth the two men were tearing up
the valley like madmen, and before long
they had staked out their claims, and
were hard at work, bent on the one all
absorbing quest for which they had
braved the rigors of an artic winter,
thus far without success.
Half an hour later they had scraped
away the soil and moss, and sampled
the rich gravel just above the lightly
covered bed rock. The first pan of
gravel was washed out, and a moment
later the man Tarbox had accosted as
Bill came running up, with a beaming
face, crying: ST..
God bless you, Tarbox, for giving us
straight tip! Look at this! We'll be
rich in no time! I.ook!'
The perspiration was dripping from
his face, his clothes were torn and full
of mud, but what rocked he of such
things? In the pan he held joyously
forth was little heap of coarse gold.
which was worth fully 5000.
Then, as if remembering that he was
wasting time, he turned on his heel and
dashed back again like a schoolboy,
throwing his arms about his partner
and hugging him in the excess of his
JOY.
Then, actuated by one common i'm
pulse, the two men gave woltish yell
Of exultation, and fell to work once
more tearing out the moss and soil with
desperate energy. They had reached
the goal for which they had left home
and dear ones, and, with superhuman
strength, they went at the work of dig
ging and washing, unmindful of all else:

LOST BY BAD STEERING.
Wixeonain Second In the Big Collegiate
Boat Race.

Wisconsin Second In the Big Collegiate
Boat Race.
PoUGHKEEPs1E, N. Y, June 90
Twenty thousand people saw the bic
collegiate boat race, G it was one Of
the most exciting 4-mlle races ever Wit.
messed in the history of college rowing.
Five thousand people on the observa-
tion train yelled themselves hoarse in
frantic appeals to their various college
crews to do their best and with the
other $4,000 they saw the red and blue
carried over the line winner by a
short half length from the Wisconsins,
who lost in the last 200 yards by bad
steering. Cornell, the victor Of former
years, pulled in four lengths in the rear,
and Columbia, never..in the fight after
the end of the first mile, trailed in O
good six lengths from the stern of the
Columbia boat. ~. .,.- ,.'~s 49,
It was the kind of race that makes
the blood ting1e and was made so bv
the crew that came over 1000 miles to
meet former vlctor9 for without the
gallant Wisconsins in the race it would
have been a doleful procession after the
second mile was finished. '"
Description of the Race.
When the starting signal was given
Cornell caught the water first, followed
by Columbia. The Pennsylvanians
were third, but the Wisconsin crew
pulled away from the rest so rapidly
that an eighth. of a mile away they led
by over a length. Pennsylvania was
second and Colum bia third. a.
At the mile Cornell and Wisconsin
were pulling heavily and near together.
Nearing the second mile Cornell was
leading by half a length and Wisconsin
was second, about the same distance
ahead Of Pennsylvania. At the two
miles Wisconsin was length ahead
and Pennsylvania length in front of
Cornell
At the third mile Wisconsin led by
half length, Pennsylvania gaining
steadily, Cornell third. At the 81
miles the Wisconsin shell had moved
toward west shore, away out of her
course, ana Pennsylvania promptly
took advantage Of the break and went
to the front, winning by length.
Wisconsin managed to straighten out
and secure second place. Cornell was
third.

military affairs here, has received a
cable message from the minister of war
at Madrid, General Polavieja, announc-
ing that the pay of all soldiers who are
in the hands of the insurgents will be

The Spaniards are fast leaving Ma
Mia. The steamer Isle de Luzon sails
for Spain soon, taking several hundred
persons, civil and military officials and
their families. The Spanish CONNER

President Decides to Increase Otis
Force to Forty Thousand
Men =
BY the Time the Rainy Season
Closes---No State Regiments
Accepted, -:
Though Preference Will Be Given
to Returned Philippine
:-~=t-,a Volunteers. -

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Secretary
Alger, Adjutant General Corbln and
Colonel Bird, assistant quartermaster
general in charge of transportation, had
an hours consultation with the presi-
dent relative to the question of rein
forcements for General Otis. A def.
mite decision has been reached to con-
tinue recruiting men at all the recruit
ing stations for service in the Philip
pines, and Secretary Alger said when
he left the White House, after the con-
ference, that General Otis would have
10000 men when the rainy season
closed, for a resumption of active opera
tions.
There are 70 recruiting stations in the
United States and enlistments are to be
taken at all Of these stations. The en-
listments are to be for service in the
regular army and recruits are to be Or
gained into regiments or assigned to
regiments already formed after enlist
ment. No organizations as such are to
be accepted, if sufficient recruits can
be obtained by regular enlistment.
General Corbin said the enlistments
would be for three years, although the
law for the creation of the provisional
army of 35,000 in excess of the regular
army OF $4,000, provides only for such
force until 1901. Arrangements are to
be made at once for increasing the
transportation necessary to get these
additional troops to the Philippines.
The decision to reinforce General Otis
by the end Of the rainy season is inter-
preted to mean that aggressive cam
paigning will cease until the bad
weather ends. Until that time our op-
erations will probably be confined to
occasional excursions to places in close
vicinity to our lines, where the insur-
gents may have congregated in force.
BY remaining quiescent under good
shelter during the rainy season, it is
hoped the health of our troops will be
conserved and the danger from climatic
fever reduced to minimum.
Skeletons Organized.
General Otis has cabled the war de-
partment that he has the skeleton or
CARNATIONS Of two or three regiments
which it is proposed to raise in the Phil
ippines. At the war department this is
said to mean that General Otis has the
officers for these regiment selected and
that they are ready to be filed with en-
listed men. How many Of these can
be secured from the volunteer regi-
ments now in the Philippines is not
known. 1t is stated at the war depart
ment that the recruits now being en-
listed at the rate of 1000 a week, can
not be used for the volunteer army pro-
vided for in the act Of March 2, author
ling 80, 900 men, although it would be
an easy matter to transfer these men
with their own consent to the volun-
teer service if it should be Diet ermined
to raise additional troops.
