Commenting on the debate in the

garding the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton, the St. James Gazette says: The
brisk air of the United States and Can
ada is conducive to strong words which
would never pass the lips of Euro
pean statesman until an order to mobi-
lie was on the point of issuing. No
body thinks of war in connection with
the Canadian American dispute. Yet
since it is we who will have to fight If
Canada makes quarrel, we must plead
with one OF our fellow subject TO use a
quieter style. If Sir Charles Tupper's
words mean anything, he desires the
presentation of an ultimatum which
could only mean war. Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, though calmer, was tolerably
emphatic. AS things are going now
we are drifting TO very 'erious diplo-
matte collision with the United States,
which Great Britain is earnestly anx-
ious to avoid.

A largely operated advertising plan

Attorney General la ret, for the pc t.
Office department. The plan consists
of puzz es with prize offers whose solu-
ton is easy by counting dots in cir
Gle, spolles in a wheel or arranging a
set of iumbled letters to form names
of prominent persons, but the catch is
in a proviso imposing conditions on
successful contestants. The heavy
mails following these advertisements
bring out circulars from the promoters
which the department holds is de-
signed to lead patrons to believe they
have won valuable prizes, conditioned
on their making or obtaining sub
scriptions, selling articles, etc. The

accept for mailing, circulars relating
to such schemes, holds that they de-
ceive the credulous and uneducated.

his name as Louis Sammin. The man
was taken to Saffnld, where he was
identified by Mr.. and Mrs. Ogletree as

were eight Negroes in his gang, and
that they came from Augusta, and he
also informed them that two of the
gang were not far away. One portion

two, while the others of the mob hung
Sammin and riddled his body. The
other two Negroes were overtaken,
