SENATOR PERKINS.
Thinks Alaska Boundary Dispute
Will be Amicably Settled.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-United
States Senator George G. Perkins mas
Just returned from Alaska
Speaking of the boundary dispute, the
Senator said: Il think the matter Will
be amicably settled without arb1tra-
ton There is nothing 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 dissatis-
faction with the forty ninth degree or
latitude. England long ago recognized
the boundary for which we are con-
tending. She did this when the Hud-
son Bay Company (Which was practi,
cally Canada at that time) executed
lease for ten years from Russia OF the
territory She is now contending Tor
This lease was renewed for second
term. so what better proof could any
one ask of our ownership? These lands
which the Hudson Bay Company leased
from Russia, 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:
THE blame for all that trouble rests
with Senator Morgan of Alabama lie
was sent to Hawaii to frame 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 regard to contract labor would now
be in force in Hawaii"
The Senator said that high license
has proven success in Alaska

READY FOR THE MAJOR.
But the Texas Fire-Eater Was Mo-
Anxious for the Reception.

About fifteen years ago., remarked
Western editor of prominence, Il had
an afternoon paper in Texas town
and l made it hot for those who needed
warming. Among these was one Major
Hippin, a pompous politician, trick
ster and a man who, though smooth OF
address, had been known to kill man
when he had him handy. The Major
had not made any threats against me,
but he was looking for me to have a
talk with me, and l knew there would
be trouble, so 1 kept out of his way,
even not being at home when he called
at my office once or twice. AS he lived
in a neighboring town, some twenty
five miles up the railroad. / was not al
ways on the lookout, and could control
his m, vements better if he had been
right with me. One day about l o'clock
the telephone rang and / responded.
Hello Is that the Times Office
someone inquired, and before L an
swered I was sure it was Hippin,
though I had never talked to him more
than once or twice in my life.
Yes I said, it's the Times Of
fee Who wants the 'Times?"
There was a slight shutting at the
other end and the same person said:
"'This is Tom Jackson, barkeeper at
the Jug. 1 want TO see Mr.. Blank
|''Well, what is it? I'm Mr.. Blank
Major Hippin will call at your Of
flee at o'clock and wants to see YOU
alone on special business of import
ance He's over at the jug now. Can
he see you there?
Il was sure now that it was Hippin
and that he was looking for trouble,
because l had had tip earlier in the
day that he was ugly and was bound
to see me- and / determined at once to
make good strong play right straiSi;
at him.
"'Oh, it's you, is it, Tem?' l said, in
confidential tone. Well you go back
and tell the Major IH be at the Office
when he comes, and to be sure TO be
there promptly. Tell him that but
don't tell him that Ink Face Dick and
Hank Colvin-two of our prize despera-

in the next room loaded for the Major.
Keep that dead and watch for sport.
l don't know what will happen, hut it
won't take long, for we have ordered
an ambulance to call at 2:15, and have
emergency. Don't give it away, or
Dick and Hank will take it out of me il
fiippin fails to show up. They will so
after him if he doesn't come around,
and / am going to hold the paper back
an hour for sensational story, with
Hank and Dick and the Major as the
chief actors. Now Tom, [ am trusting
you with a great secret, and you
mustn't lay down on me. All you've
got to do is to tell Hippin to come
around at 2 o'clock sharp. See?'

SHOOTING ARRAY.
Result Of a Quarrel Between Two
Nevada Sheepmen.

ELKO (Nev), Aug. News reached
Elko to-day of a desperate shooting
affray near Mardis. ninety miles from
here, on Sunday morning between W.
"A. Bacon and J. L. FreitaS, prominent
sheep men of this county, in which the
latter was shot twice in the leg and
once in the neck, and seriously injured.
He was brought here for medical treat
ment
The trouble grew out of a dispute
over land used as sheep ranges. The
shooting took place on the side of a
steep mountain. Bacon shot three
times with revolver, each shot hit
ting his adversary. Freitas shot once
with a rifle and missed his mark At
ter the shooting the men grappled and
rolled to the bottom of the mountain,
when the injured man landed on top
and struck Bacon several times with his
fists before being separated by several
sheep herders.
Bacon came to Elko and gave himself
up to the Sheriff, and was released
from custody on bonds.
Freitas will probably recover but
will lose a leg.

NEW YORK, Aug. IAN article by
Miss Clara Barton on the subject of the
Cuban reconcentrados will appear ir
the next number of the Independent
Miss Barton says there are now in
Cuba 10000 destitute orphan children
of reconcentrados. who have in the
last few years died of starvation and
want. These children are scattered
throughout nearly every city and towr
of sufficient size and Importance to re-
ceive the driven out country people
They are not children of low or doubt
full origin. Many are of the best Gu.
ban families. The reconcentrados were
largely the country people of property
farmers and small planters. Miss
Barton says:
The Cubans are not responsible for
the restitution of these children. When
the starving reconcentrados were
driven into the towns the residents di-
vided food and clothing with them, and
then divided again and again, but there
was a point at which they had to stop
giving.
only for the Cuban rations distrib-
uted by our army, it would be sorry
lookout for these. helpless little ones
They ranged in number from thirty to
fifty, and even 100, in the various
towns utterly homeless. and no one
has the least personal interest in them
or responsibility for them. The towns
people still do what they can, but their
main dependence is begging from the
passengers of every passing train.
ITO one who knows only ordinary
poverty and restitution. the aspect OF
these children, as found, is often terri
flying. 1t was a subject for both hui
name and medical study, and together
the Red Cross surgeons and trained
nurses inaugurated a system which,
simply followed out as it is now bein.s
pursued, will, we believe. in less than
six months, transform these thousands
of hapless renegades into clean, whole,
some, we'll ordered children, learning to
work, to read and to forget the dread
full lives of pain, want and woe they
went through.
The system is this: Finding it inn
possible to take. the time to attempt to
follow the customary methods of max
ing up large asylums in the great cities
as the conditions of these children
meant life and death to themselves and
to others, it was decided to gather them
up just where they We're. making small
er asylums of the plainest and simplest
kind, interesting the authorities and
the people of the city at all times in
the movement, securing their full CO.
operation, providing for all wants and
making it possible for the people of
the towns to look after them as their
own, with our continued care and over,
sight.
1.-The women regard the asylurns as
something quite their own. In nearly
every large town a young ladies' club
is formed, from which two go each day
to assist and to teach the children.
This practice sscommenced with the
young ladies' club of Catalina which
body of twenty had held itself intact
through all the terrible years OF the
war. These young ladies volunteered at
once to help care for the children, prof.
ering their continuous daily service in
the aSylum -

Senator Clark of Montana.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1.-Senator w.
A Clark, who is in the city, stated dur
ing an interview to-day that in his
opinion there is nothing sure about
William j. Bryan's nomination by the
Democratic party at its next national
convention. The Senator also said
that he is not sure about silver being
the great issue of the next campaign,
though he still calls himself bimeta1-
list. He believes to a certain extent
in expansion, he says. and feels that
the war with the Filipinos must be
carried on until the Filipinos surrender.
Senator Clark will build a new sugar
factory on the Cerritos, ranch, which
he recently purchased. The capac-
ity will be 900 barrels per day. The
plant will cost half million dollars.

WILLIM !. BRYAN.
Discusses the Question Of the War
in Philippines.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Colonel Bryan
discusses the Philippine question in the
Independent" this week. He says in
part:
THE Declaration of independence as
serts that governments derive their just
power from the consent of the govern
ed, and this is the doctrine to which
we have adhered to for more than a
century.
IF the doctrine set forth in the Dec
laration of independence is sound, how
can we rightfully acquire sovereignty
over the Filipinos by a war of con-
quest? If the doctrine set forth in the
Declaration of Independence is sound,
how can we rightfully purchase SOW
ereignty from Spanish sovereign
whose title we disputed in Cuba and
whose rebellious subjects we armed in
the Philippines?
In the beginning of the Spanish war
Congress denied that our nation had
any thought of securing by conquest
new territory in the Western Henri
sphere. Why should we now think OF
securing in the Eastern Hemisphere
new races for subjugation?
1T is surprising that any believer in
annexation, but still more surprising
that any one who believes in the Chris
tan religions and substitution of force
for reason in the extension of our ma
tons influence
IF we adopt the gunshot gospel in
the Philippines, how long will it be be-
fore that principle will be transplanted
in American soil? So long as our ar
guments are addressed to the reason
and the heart. our progress is sure, but
can we, without danger to Christianity.
desert to the ancient plan of injecting
religion into the body through bullet
holes?
The question is frequently asked,
what can we do? Nearly two months
elapsed between the. signing of the
treaty and the beginning Of hostilities
in the Philippines. During that time
the President and Congress might have
given to the Filipinos the same assur.
ance of independence. that was given to
