Perhaps from this point of view the

Dany with the conditions set out in

s3ided at March Court, 1897
Those who believe the bonds
would be void and that they could
not be collected should vote for the
subscription, and get the road, and
.then enjoin the collection Of the tax

build, with its eyes wide open, and
take all risks, and asks the sub
sscription, why not let them have
she chance? If the bonds are void
they cannot be collected. We should
thus get the road and save our taxes

A VICTORY FOR CHOATE.
Great Britain Accepts Our AIasks
 Proposition.


 Proposition.
 A dispatch has been received at the state department from Mir. Choate, say ing substantially that Great Britain will accept the American proposition for the provisional Alaskan boundary. While the officials do not go to the extent of declaring that the proposition has been accepted, they say that there is praeti- cally no difference between the absolute fact of acceptance and the assurance of Ambassador Choate.
 It has been known in America and ad- mitted in London that the stumbling block of an amicable arrangement of the whole dangerous problem was Canada. The insistence of Canada on the impos- sible conditions of the American grant of Pyramid harbor and another access to Lynn canal as a conditioni precedent to arbitration caused the sudden dissolution of the joint high commission last Febru- ary.
 Even after the matter was referred to the state department of England and the United States Canada interposad objec- tions to the provisional line and insisted on the surrender of territorial privileges by the United States. Canada appears to have been at last entirely eliminated from the matter, and the provisional line agreed upon by Secretary Hay and Lord Salisbury has been accepted.
 The enumerated points in the line are White Summit pass, the Chilkoot pass and a point on the Dalton trail in the Chilkoot pass which leaves Kluckman on the American side. Kluckman has since 1867 been regarded as within American territory.
 There are some matters which are yet to be settled. but these, it is understood, will be remitted to the joint high com mission. which will reassemble in August. The unsettled matters relate entirely to various reciprocities, such as Canada s privileges on the Lynn canal, the collec- ton of customs, etc.

GENERAL LEONARD MOOD.


 banking houses of Brown Bros. & Co.,, Kountze Bros. and the United States Mortgage and Trust company. Plans for the amalgamation of all street rail way interests in the capital have been making for some time, and the capitalists have been quietly gathering up all the surface roads, until now they have prac- tically all there being only a few excep- tions, and the time is ripe for the com plete organization of the big concern.
 May Be Made Governor General.
 Opinions differ as to whether General Wood will accept. On the one hand it is pointed out that a salary is offered to him about six times his present one as briga- dier general in the army. which is only S5, 300 year, and that no young man could be considered other than foolish to throw over his shoulder an offer of this kind, especially in view of the fact that now that peace has returned, the soldiers calling will be one of comparative inac- ton.
 On the other hand, it is quite certain the administration will make every effort to keep General Wood in the service, and will resort to every expedient to induce him to remain. The general is a warm personal friend of President Mckinley and for a long time attended Mrs. Me Kinley. who while under his professional care. improved materially in health and strength.
 Moreover, it is felt in Washington that his work in Santiago has been so extra ordinary, and he has displayed such quail ities, both as soldier and an admins trator that he is better fitted than any other man to grapple with the trying problems that have arisen with the ac- quisition of new territory.
 There has been no little talk for some time of making General Wood governor general of Cuba and of bringing General Brooke home. This would be in nowise a setback for General Brooke, for it would put him practically in command in Wash ington and near the president, where Mir. Mckinley wants him.
 Knowing the high regard in which General Wood is held by the president, and. indeed. by all the cabinet, it would not be surprising to learn that to win him away from his capitalistic friends the administration may be forced to play its trump card by offering him the gov ernor generalship.

Standard oil to Leave Ohio.

Cleveland, June 21.-The Standard Oil company is preparing to get out of Ohio. Its headquarters will be removed from this city to New York. and on the 1st of July its Ohio charter will be given up. The office force here will be reduced from about 50 men to less than one-tenth of that number The recent incorporation of the company in New Jersey with q capi- tai of S110.000.000 was the first step in the abandonment of Ohio. An officer of the company confirms the report of the removal of the office and says that Cleve- land will hereafter be only branch of flee like those maintained in several cit ies It was suggested that the action of the company was prompted by desire to avoid further litigation such as was in- stituted by Attorney General Monnett, but the officer who gave the information denied that such was the case.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Progress Made on the Geneva Agree
 ment.


 The Hague, June 21.-The Geneva convention committee held a plenary ses- sion yesterday to consider the report of its subcommittee. Captain Mahan of the American delegation again drew atten- tion to the omission of an article defining the exact status of wounded and ship wrecked men falling into the sea during battle and picked up by neutrals or by hospital ships.
 He also proposed three additional arti- cles, which were referred to the drafting committee.
 The report of the subcommittee will now be presented to the conference, and it is believed that nearly all the powers will adopt the new articles as a basis of instructions for armies when entering the field.
 The Americans also made formal de mand for the exemption of private prop erty at sea from capture in time of war. This question was not included in the circular of Count Mouravieff and may possibly be ruled out of order If, howev- CT, a discussion should be allowed, 1t would probably be supported by a major ity, mainly composed of the smaller pow CTS

CHICAGO MAIL ROBBERY.
Drivers Arrested Charged With
 Large Thefts.

Chicago, June 21.-What is regarded by Postoffice Inspector James Stuart as one of the largest and boldest mail rob berries in the history of the Chicago post office has been detected. and Walter Por- ter and John Newman, drivers of mail wagons, have been arrested. Porter made a full confession, duplicating Newman.
 A large number of letters, money orders and packages taken by the men were found in their lodging house. on South Halsted street. In the pile were letters, money orders and checks directed to all parts of the country and Europe. One check found in the pile was for S20,000, while another for a large amount was sent from Marcus Daly's bank at Ana conda. The fact that the robbers had been in the employ of the Chicago post office since June 1 and that all the thefts were committed since that time, while the prisoners were driving the wag- ons, makes the scheme one of the boldest in the recollection of the inspectors.

New York. June 21.-From a salary of $2,000 to one of S30.000 in a few years is the remarkable record which BrigadieI General Leonard Wood will have made if he accepts the offer which has been made to him by the Washington Trac- ton and Electric company of Washing. ton to assume the presidency of that big corporation.
 It is hard to find a parallel in Ameri. can history for advancement so rapid as that which has come to the brigadier general. Even in this country of mete- oric ups and downs it is almost unprece- dented and can only be accounted for. admitting the high order of ability of the general, as one of the proverbial fortunes of war. that most revolutionary and evo- lutiorary of forces.
