ALASKAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Mr.. Tower and Secretary Hay Work
ing on the Agreement.

Washington, October 11.-Immediately
upon Secretary Hays return today
preparations began at the State Depart
ment for the completion of the modus
vivendi relative to the Alaskan boun-
dairy. General Foster was hard at work
upon the details of the plan and the
expectation was that i'll the course of q
day or two the agreement would be in
effect
The negotiations have of late been en-
tirely i'll the hands of Secretary Hay
and Mr.. Tower, the British charge
here 1t has not even yet been de-
termined whether the agreement defin-
ing the boundary temporarily shall take
the form of a document signed by both
parties, or be merely Il series of notes,
but in either case it will be just as
effective as modus vivendi, binding
both parties to observe the boundary
laid down temporarily.
The State Department officials are
confident that Americans will have no
cause to complain that their rights have
been abandoned when the full scope of
the agreement is made known; while,
en- the other hand, the Canadians can
not claim properly that they have lost
any right that they have enjoyed.

CAPTURED A BLIND TIGER.
Preparing for Chrysthanthemum Show
Hanna Hard up for Funds.

Greensboro, y. c., Oct. 17.-(Special.)
The ladies of Greensboro are making
elaborate preparations for their fall
chrysanthemum show. This shgw has
for several years past been one of the
delightful features of the year.
Chief of Police Scott captured Il
blind tiger in full swing Sunday. 1t
seems that the man, Alfred Law, col
ored, had several jugs of whiskey and
was selling at a great rate when the
outfit was captured.
The administration seems to be hard
up for funds. Last week the postmaster
at McLeonsville received an invitation
from Mark Hanna's agents asking for
a donation. 1t seems that the postoffice
does business of something like $50
year, and they are doubtless puzzled to
know how much is expected of them.

HIS CHILD CREMATED.
IL Rudyard KiDIing's Ideas of Burial
Are FollOwed-AuthOr Not Yet
Informed of His Loss.

New York, March 9.-Rudyard Kip
ling's health continues to mend slowly.
So far, beef tea is his only article of
diet, and nothing will be added to it un-
til an improvement in his condition
will permit. He has not yet been told
of the death of his daughter Josephine.
Elsie. the other daughter, rested quiet
ly Wednesday.
The ashes of little Josephine Kipling
rest in a small urn at the Fresh Pond
crematory. The body was incinerated
there Tuesday night in the presence
of DR.. Conland the family friend and
physician from BrattIeboro, Vt. Rud-
yard Kipling himself is a strong advo-
cate of cremation. His long residence
in India, where all bodies are burned,
inclined him toward it. When his six
year-old daughter died at the home of
Miss Julia De Forest on Monday Mrs
Kipling, following what would be the
desire of her husband if he knew, gave
the necessary orders.
