Made No Statement.
Norristown, Pa, May 1.-THE hang
ing Of James A. Clemmer yesterday in
the Montgomery county jail, for the
murder Of Mrs. Emma p. Kaiser, was
without special incident. He went to
his death bravely. and made no state
ment on the gallows. Neither Glenn
mer's wife nor any of his relatives
were present. The dead mans last
night on earth was sorrowful one.
Until long after midnight his spiritual
advisers were with him, and he was
given absolution by Father Gallagher.
Early yesterday morning he received
holy communion.
The body of Clemmer arrived at
Douglassville, short distance below
Reading, late yesterday afternoon. It
was met at the station by Clemmers
father and brother and was taken to
the homestead on the fathers farm,
near by. There was small crowd OF
villagers at the station when the re-
mains of the murderer arrived. The
aged father was bowed with grief, and
much sympathy was felt for him.
Clemmer's body was buried today in
the country graveyard near the church
where he was baptized and attended
school.

4 Provisional Line Arranged and the Modus
NivendI WIN BE Owen ONT To-day.

WAsHINGToN. Oct. 1S.-Whon the state De-
partment closed for the day at I o'clock this
afternoon IL was announced that the ncgotla-
lions concerning the Alaska boundary had not
reached q stage whore II was possible for tho
Department to make a definite statement 1t
is practically certain. however. that the modus
ylvendi providing for q provisional boundary
line between Alaska and the British posses
slons has been arranged. and that the State
Department will so announce tomorrow. and
and at the same time give out a statement ex-
plain ing its provisions and object
Just before the Department was closed to-
day q note from Reginald Tower. the Charge
d'Affaires of Great Britain. was delivered to
Secretary Hay. and II Is supposed that this
contained notice that the provisional arrange
ment was entirely satisfactory to the British
Government. Earlier in the day Mr. Tower had
an interview with Secretary Hay concerning
some minor matters not affecting the principle
OF the boundary agreement. The modus had
been arranged. however, before Mr.. Towers
call, and II IL understood that the only object
Of his visit was to ascertain the views OF Sec
Rotary Hay as to how the boundary agreement
should be drawn There Ia not likely to be any
great formality in the final arrangement OF the
modus. tho present understanding being that
tho agreement will take the form OF an ex-
change OF notes and not In attaching the Sig
natures OF representatives OF both countries to
an official document much In tho form OF q
treaty, The exchange OF notes. which will
probably occur to- morrow. will be as binding
morally as a regular treaty

DISAGREE WITH DEUEL..
Brooklyn Magistrates Still Claim Power to
Punish Pedlers.

Brooklyn Magistrates still Claim Power to
Punish Pedlers.
The Board OF Magistrates OF the borough Of
Brooklyn docs not agree with Magistrate
Deuel. OF Manhattan 10 his opinion that the
recent general ordinances in relation to bus
iness requiring license takes the power out Of
the hands Of the Magistrates to punish pedlers
who break the law. Magistrate Kramer. Presi-
dent Of Brooklyn Board. to whom the matter
was referred 10y his associates made this state
ment yesterday:
Il find that DEUEL. Is in error in his con-
ception Of the effect OF the ordinance The
ordinance passed by the Common Council ON
April IL, 1897 and by tho Board OF Aldermen
on May y. 1872 and approved by the Mayor on
May % 1899. did not confer on the Mayor
any powers that the Mayor did not have
formerly. nor strip the Magistrates OF apv
power that they formerly had. by Section 2
OF title | OF this ordinance any psdler who is
licensed can be punished summary by any
Magistrate before whom a complaint Is made
Section ) OF title 2. which Magistrate Deuel.
did not take into consideration. docs not give
the Mayor any such power. 1t gives him tho
power to suspend and revoke licences Tho
difference is this: The Mag strats has power
TO Interfere where one engages in business
without license. The Mayor has power TO
find out whether any such man has tho neces-
sary license. That is no new power BY
Section ~. title 1, that same power has lodged
In the chief OF the Bureau OF Licenses or his
deputy, 1t can, therefore. be seen that Mag
istrate DEUEL. is in error.
