HOYT'S E PLAY.

Merriment Of the highest order Of ex-
cellence will reign at the Manager OPP
era house this evening, the occasion
being the presentation of the best effort
in play-wrighting of that popular writ
er of American farce comedy, Mr..
Charles Hoyt, entitled "a Stranger in
New York" The ample announcement
that this clever delineator OF American
humor has something good to offer will
be enough to attract an unusually large
audience. Mr.. Hoyt is modest in pro-
claiming the advent of his best work,
and simply announces the 'only'' pro,
sensation of Hoyt's illustration OF the
possible adventures of "a Stranger in
New York" this season.
Singing, dancing and specialties that
are announced as absolutely new; a
bevy of pretty girls-for no Hoyt show
is complete without them-elaborate
scenery, fetching costumes, ri%diculously

1t was reported at the State Department
today that conference is to be held with
in the next few days between Secretary
Hay and Reginald Tower, the British
charge d'affaires, on the Alaskan provis-
ional boundary line
This convention was agreed upon some
time ago, and the Secretary of State is very
anxious to hear what position England will
take in the matter. The differences be-
tween the two countries are only of minor
Importance. it is said, and it is urged Dy
the United States that question of such
magnitude should be settled at the earliest
possible moment.
AS stated exclusively in The Evening
Times Of Saturday, this country has made
but few concessions ito Canada, and the
original terms of the Hay-Tower protocol
will not be materially altered The rumor
that the United States has yielded the pos
session OF Pyramid Harbor to the Cana
dian Government permanently, is officially
denied in the published statement OF Sat-
urday afternoon.
The terms OF the Hay-Tower protocol
were:
'First-That the line should be drawn
with White Summit and Chilkoot Pass as
the basis.
''Second-That this line be extended SO
that the village of Kluckwan should be
two miles on the American side This was
concession to England in the respect that
Kluckwan had been placed by the original
Hay line about ten miles inside of the line
on the American side.
"Third-That from Kluckwan westward
the line should leave the whole of the
Kleheni River on the American side. This
was a concession by Mr.. Tower, as the
Canadians insisted on diverting the line
southwest from Kluckwan so as to take in
part of that river and large section
of the Porcupine district which always
was claimed as American territory and
which is a valuable gold region
''Fourth-That Canada should have the
privilege by lease for one year of port.
not necessarily at Pyramid Harbor, on the
Lynn Canal"
This country will maintain, 1t is said,
that it shall retain sovereignty over the
whole OF the Lynn Canal until il shall be
otherwise determined by the final court of
arbitration. The United States will fur
thermore insist that in case lease of part
be accepted as solution for the modus
yivendi, no improvements made shall be
considered as permanent.

FOUGHT A DUEL WITH AXES.
A Bloody ARRAY Between Italians in
New York City.

NEW YORK, Oct 1.-Two men engaged
Street and Eleventh Avenue with sharp
axes. One Of them was found with his
head cut almost to pieces. He was con-
scious in spite of his wounds, while by his
side were the weapons with which the aw-
full fight was waged. The other man had
gone. For twenty feet the police traced
him by drops of blood, and then all signs
of him ended.
The one. beaten in the duel is dying in
the J. Hood Wright Hospital. There are
twenty-five ak cuts in his head. Many of
them reached the brain and some of them
are the exact length OF the AK blade. Yet
the man lived and breathed and spoke. He
called loudly for something TO drink, and
cursed the doctors who asked him who cut
him. II is believed that he is Louis Feuo,
an Italian. thirty-fiye years old.
The daughter OF former AssemblymaR
Miller, who lives at 173d Street and Audu-
bon Avenue. heard loud groans coming
from vacant lot near the house al Q tar-
ire past I o'clock last night. She told ksT
father, and he took a lantern and began
search. He was Joined by Policeman Georgs
Bobell, and after long hunt they heard a
faint sound in clump Of bushes.
There they found the man, and the evil
dences of a fearful fight Tie bushes had
been beaten down in the struggle, the
ground was cut with ak blows that had
missed their mark, and ii was trodden by
the feet of the struggling men, A Ian
tern flashed in the eyes of the loser of the
tight. What's the matter?" asked the po-
liceman, horriGed. Go to the devil

ing the battle-ground. Miller and Bodeli

that the winner had gone away wounded.
An ambulance came from the ]. Hood
Wright Hospital, DIR. Adams, the surgeon
vas nearly sickened by the sight.
The dying man lay in the hospital. sullea
but plucky. He had his senses. despite
his wounds. He declined to answer any
questions. All he would say was that he
wanted some beer. He had been drinking,
the doctor said. There were papers in his
po2ket that made them think his name
was Louis Feuo.
In the meantime the police had de-
cided that two Italians, quarreling in their
cups, had gone out TO see who was the
better man. One OF their weapons was
carpenters ak. That was the one with
which Feuo was chopped. The other was
smaller, a lather's AK and ii was with
that, doubtless, that Feuo fought.
There is an Italian colony at One Hun
dred and Seventy fifth Street and Eleventh
Avenue, and there the police looked for
clews. They were Joined by vigilance
committee of citizens, who secured the
neighborhood for news OF a wounded man.
The hospital doctors maryeled at the te-
nacity with which Feuo clung to life.
coroner was sent for to take his ante
mortem statement, but the police did not
think he would reveal any thing before
he died, as he had fought according to
the rules of his class, who rarely inform
upon an enemy with whom they fight a
duel.

TESTING A LYNCH LAW.
Stubborn Jurors Disregard Evidenc,
and the Higher Court.


COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 1.-Two years
ago a negro named Brown was lynched in
Orangeburg He had been arrested for ar
son, but at the request of the prosecutor
was released, there being no evidence
against him. He was subsequently caught
and hanged to a telegraph pole and then
shot The legislature had just passed a
law making counties liable for damages to
heirs of persons lynched, and this was the
test case 1t was tried the first time last
fall, the wife of Brown suing for Sc, 000
The jury found for the county. The case
was appealed to the supreme court and a
new trial was granted, the ruling of the
circuit judge being set aside Another
trial has been held, and again a verdict
has been found for the defence.
As the law is plain allowing damages
and the evidence as to the lynching is
overwhelming, the jury has taken the po-
sition of refusing to carry out the law
This is a test case, the only one brought
under this law, and every effort will be
made to get damages. This verdict will
probably be upset by the supreme court
if it is not set aside in the lower court.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Steps are being
taken by the anti-Briggs party of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in New York
TO form an American church union to fight
higher criticism. The nucleus of the or
ganization will be the three score clergy
men who voted to overthrow the standing
committee of the diocese at the annual
convention in the Church of the Incarna-
tion last week.
"Our strength is nearly a hundred mem
bers of the clergy" said DR.. Frank M.
Clendennin yesterday. Had the great is
sue of higher criticism not been eonfound-
ed in the convention with other issues
we would have polled about a hundred
votes. Many Of the clergy believed that
the standing committee, not DR.. Briggs,
was on trial, and they voted to sustain
the committee. although they were op-
posed to DR.. Briggs.

The latest chroniclings of social life at
Simla has this to say of Lord Curzon and
his American wife: Lady Curzon is most
popular socially, and she makes very
handsome vicereine. She has acquired a
charmingly regal manner, without the ex-
cessiye stiffness and freezing hauteur
of grand dame, and in her
dark evening frocks and diamond IT,
ara she looks unecmmonly like du
Maurier's exquisite pictures of the
Duchess of Towers, in Peter Ibbetson.'
Lord Curzon is said by old residents TO be
somewhat too punctilious in social mat
ters; but as his predecessor was notori-
ously lax in this respect the criticism is no
doubt made in the spirit of comparison"
