SAYS AN APPROPRIATION WILL BE MADE BUT MOTH
 AMOUNT REQUESTED.
THE COMMITTEES APPEAL
Sibert Asked for $5OO,OOO But SloO- GOO Was the Amount Sug-
 gested by the Committee.

Mayor D c. Bell, who was select. ed as one of the representative eiti- zens of this city to appear before the Committee on Rivers and Har- bors, and as requested by the Con gressmen from this State, appeal for an appropriation for the m provement of the Arkansas river, returned from Washington Wednes= day afternoon. Capt. Geisreiter did not return, but lourneved to Denver, Col, where he will spend several days with his wife and daughter who are wintering in Shat city.
 In an interview with Graphic reporter this morning, Mayor Bell said: Upon our arrival in Wash ington the different committees se- leeted from the cities on the ArKan- sas river held a joint meeting with the Congressional Committee on Rivers and Harbors. A represen- tative from each of the committees from this State and the State of Kansas, presented their reasons for the improvement of the Arkansas river. The represent tative from Wichita. Kansas said tbat Gonurpss should prevent the Goloradoans from using a vast amount of the Arkansas river water for irrigating purposes by which the boating stage of sand river is greatly lowered and oftentimes made nnnaYigable.
 "Then there were the representa- tiYes from Fort Smith, Dardanelle, Little Rock and this city, each put ting forth very strong reasons why the great and beneficial improve ments should be made.
 Capt. Sitert's recommendation was that it would take $50, 900 per mile to make the proper improve ments, or about $1, 900, GOO for the whole job or full length of the stream.
 9The Congressional Committee then estimated that the government could not afford over $100, 900 as an appropriation for the Arkansas riv- CT, as other improvements of equal if not more importance were to be considered by them at present.
 "The experienced river mer, who were among thecommitte from this State, made an estimate and said they thought the expenditure of $15. GOO per mile would be sufficient to maintain the present good con- dition of the river and maybe 8 bet. ter appropriation could be secured later.
 Had it not been for the earnest appeal on the part of the different committees from this State, the Ar kansas river would doubtless have been overlooked, while at present there are very encouraging pros poets of securing large approprI. ation, which the committees are con. fident will be made.

IS ALUM DANGEROUS
Whltens the Bakers Bread but Plays Havoc With the Stomach of the Consumer.

Alum is used by many bakers 10 whiten their bread. enabling them to use an inferior flour, and it is also employed HIS Il cheap substifHte for cream of tartar in the manufacture of baking powder. It's use in bread and baking powder IS very detrimen- tai to health, producing dyspepsia and obstinate constipation, and un- der certain conditions of the human system results i'll poisoning. What the conditions are so far as each in- diyidual is concerned can only be surmised: some pecnliarity of the system producing a morbid change in the secretions of thestomach with which the alum combines and forms an active poison; or. the secretions may be healthy but in abnormal proportions. and these lesser or greater proportions in combination with the salum constitute a poison just as two parts of mercury and two parts chlorine form cal0mel, which is not poisonous, while one part of mercury and two parts of chlorine yield corrosive subliniate, which is q most deadly poison.

It Is Again Stated That Great
Britain and the United
States
Have Practically CONS Together
on the Alaskan Boundary
Question.
Both Sides Have Made Conces.
sions From Original
Positions.

NEW YORK, Sept. GA special to
The Herald from Washington says:
Great Britain and the United States
have practically agreed upon q temper
airy line defining the boundary between
Alaska and Canada. Negotiations now
in progress relate only to minor points
growing out of the definition Ut the
line. One of the unsettled questions re-
lates to the status of mines owned by
Americans which may lap over into
territory which has been under the
control of Canada. Representatives Of
American mine owners say that it would
be unfair to American miners 1t no pro-
vision should be made for them in case
their property should lie half on the
American and half on the Canadian
side of the line. The prospective set
Element of the boundary question is
due to concessions made not only by
Great Britain, but by this government
also. Secretary Hay has won in the
matter of excluding Canada from the
Linn canal, but q port Of entry on the
canal will be given should the final Set
Element fail to give Canada q permanent
harbor. The secretary has also been
successful in keeping the British to the
north Of the village of Kluckwsn,
though. it is said. he has agreed to the
placing Of the line just above the vii.
lage, instead of four miles beyond as
originally demanded.
Secretary Hay laid the late CORE
spondence in the controversy before the
cabinet at it's session and considerable
satisfaction with it was expressed. 1t
10 expected that the modus vivendi will
be settled in a few days, unless Canada
should again u u hostile attitude,
and her present attitude is co%nciliatory.
Special Commissioner Kasson. who is
. member of the joint high commission,
conferred with Secretary Hay during
the day. regarding the boundary nego.
tiations. The modus vivendi has moth.
ing whatever to do with the other Ques.
tons pending between Canada aud the
United States.
1t is expect ted by administration Off
Gals, however, that with the settle.
ment, even temporarily. of the boundary
question. it will be possible to push
other matters in negotiation to a sue
cessful conclusion, especially as Grea'
Britain has taken the stand that the
boundary controversy must be adjusted
| before other matters can be settled.
