AStOr'S Naturalization.

New York, Aug. "A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from London
says: It is generally bSAeved that the
act of Mr.. Astor in becoming British
subject will be followed before long by
the announcement of his engagement to
Lady Randolph Churchill, formerly Miss
Jennie Jerome of New York. Having
been naturalized under the general act
of 1870, Mr.. Astor's children, Waldorf AS
tor John Jacob Astor and Miss Pauline
Astor become British subjects also. Mr..
Astor originally intended to obtain ma
turalization by means of a special act OF
parliament, but was warned of such pro-
cedure that it was very unusual and
would, in all probability, evoke opposi-
ton. His application, therefore, proceed
ed in the regular manner of petitioning
the home secretary, setting forth that he
had resided in the United Kingdom for
five years and desired to become Brit
ish subject and intended to reside In Eng
land. He paid the following fees: Twen-
ty-five dollars on receiving the certificate
of naturalization, $3.50 for copy of the
certificate $3.50 for his registration. $50
in counsel fees: total, $50. Forty-three
other persons were on the list with MI.
Astor, nearly all of them being German.
Russian and Polish Jews. There were
no other Americans. The only other name
of prominence was that of Miss Alice
Charlotte de Rothschild, daughter of Lord
Rothschild

The Oregon Volunteers.

San Francisco Aug. 2.-1n speaking Of
the return home of the Oregon volunteers,
Colonel Summers said:
"About $50 men will go on the special
train starting on the 9th. The train will
be met at the state line by Governor Geer
and his staff. Company B will be dropped
at Roseburg and Company at Eugene.
Company X may stop at Salem. but we
hope that it will go through to Portland.
The programme is for the men to dine at
Ashland, take luncheon at Grants Pass
and a late supper at Roseburg Break
fast on the second day will be served at
Eugene, dinner at Salem and the train
will reach Portland at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. There will be parade and
the colors will be turned over to the state
officials at the armory. The troops will
be uniformed and will go through all the
evolutions except the manual of arms.
About 30 men will go north by boat, and
perhaps 100 will remain here. Three Of
our officers have been assigned to the
Thirty fifth regiment. They are Captain
Prescott of Company F, Regimental Ad-
jutant Downe and Battalion Adjutant
Brazee all of whom have the rank of
captain"

To Give in on the Alaskan
Boundary Question.
IS CERTAINLY AMERICAN
No Doubt But the Disputed Ground
Belongs to the United StateS-Old
Leases GO to Prove This AsSer-
tion-Congressmen Return.

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-United States
turned from Alaska. Speaking of the
boundary dispute the senator said:
II think the matter will be amicably
settled without arbitration. There is no.
thing to arbitrate. 1t would be just as
reasonable for us to insist upon taking
up the old boundary question between
the United States and Canada again and
declare our dissatisfaction with the 49th
degree of latitude. England long ago
recognized the boundary for which we
are contending. She did this when the
Hudson Bay company (Which was prac-
tically Canada at that time) executed a
lease for 10 years from Russia of the ter
ritory she is now contending for. This
lease was renewed for a second term, SO
what better proof could anyone ask of
our ownership. These lands which the
Hudson Bay company leased from Rus
sia and England now seeks to lay claim
to, we purchased from Russia"
In regard to the contract labor ques-
ton in Hawaii, Senator Perkins said:
1.-THE blame for all that rouble rests
with Senator Morgan Of Alabama. He
was sent to Hawaii to frame a code for
the government of the islands, and had
it not been for his opposition the laws
now in force in the United States in re-
gard to contract labor would now be in
| force in Hawaii"
| The senator said high license has prov.
! en- success in Alaska.

Was Fatally Wounded.

Cripple Creek, Col, Aug. 2.-Dave Con-
nell was shot and received a proba bly,
fatal wound While at the Florence &
Cripple Greek depot. His assailant is not
known. Connell has been in camp for the
last five days securing miners to go to
the Occur d'Alene country. He was
warned to leave town by committee
which was supposed to represent the un-
ion men Of the district, and made COM
plant to the sheriff and to the town mar
shall who assured him that he would be
safe in remaining here. With a party Of
seven recruits he went to the Florence &
Cripple Creek depot. Soon after his ar
rival the men We're surrounded and rocks
were thrown at them. They resented this
assault, and it is said pulled their guns.
At this acton some one in the crowd
pulled gun and fired, the ball taking
effect in Connell's side. Another shot
was fired which took off the top of the
left thumb Of one of Connelps friends.
Dave Connell is we'll known in the dis
trct, and served as deputy marshal at
Goldfield, Col, few years ago.

Must Assert Our Rights.

Chicago, Aug. "A special to the
Chronicle from Des Moines, Iowa, says:
Congressman Hull reached Des Moines
today, having returned from his trip to
Alaska to investigate the boundary ques-
ton.
ITO yield to the demand Of Great Brit
ain in the Alaskan boundary question
would be nothing short Of cr.me," said he.
THE boundary is all one hears in Alaska.
1t would be disgraceful for the United
States to back down in the matter and
allow Great Britain to have Skagway.
Skagway is the key to all the trade in
the gold regions. If we allow England to
have its way in this boundary matter, we
virtually turn over the Alaskan trade to
England. II we assert our rights in the
matter and retain Skagway we are as
sured of perpetual control of the Alaskan
trade The trade belongs to the United
States. Most of the miners in that coun-
try are Americans and desire to buy
American products

Iowa Republicans

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 2.-The state
republican convention assembled at IL
o'clock today with an unusually large at
tendance. Temporary Chairman Pickett
delivered his address, after which the
convention adjourned till o'clock. Ihere
is no opposition to the denomination OF
Governor Shaw, and the principal con-
test will be over the supreme Judgeshlp.
A large portion of the delegates are anx-
ious for the resolutions committee to put
an antitrust plank in the platform.
Former Congressman Curtis was chosen
permanent chairman. In taking the chalr
he briefly referred to the issues, saying
in part: ;.
1.-The republican party will, if permit
ted under Providence, continue to admin
lister the affairs of the government, main
tain order and law, and put down all IN
surrectons. 1t will solve and administer
the affairs of finance and successfully
grapple with the problem of unlawful
trusts and combines, so that no oppres-
sion or tyranny of monopolies shall dis
tress or burden the people"

The noted frontier general, Lorenzo
Torres, with only 200 men, marched to
Bacum and threw himself on the assem-
bled Yaqui forces. A battle was waged
for two days, in which 40 YaQuis and II
soldiers were killed. The Yaquis were
pushed back toward the mountains, and
on the third day another fight took place,
in which 43 Yaquis and four chiefs were
killed. The Yaqus were dispersed and
driven farther into the hills. State troops
We're gathered from all over Sonora by
Governor Corral. About 1,500 men were
mobilized and pursued the Yaquis into
their mountain Businesses. The YaQuls
took position ON the peaks of Cuesta Alta,
and the latest report in that battle was
fought on July 20, and that the troops
were gaining an advantage.

News from the lower Yaqui river country
today is that rowing bands Of Indians are
killing both Mexcans and Americans,
and that a number of Americans in the
outlying districts have already been
slaughtered. Fears are expressed for the

Anxiety in Hayti.

Port Au Prince, Aug. 2--The political
situa ton is causing anxiety. Numerous
arrests have been made. Among those
taken into custody are M. Doubillon, for
mer minister of the interior. and M. Du-
yiyer a newspaper man. Duviver made
a strong resistance and succeeded IN en-
tering the United States legation, drag
ging with him the officers detailed to ar
rest him, but was finally taken outside
and lodged in Jail. Minister Powell en-
tered a vigorous protest against the ac-
ton of the officers and eventually the
Haytien government set Duviver at lib
erty.
