which the Dalton trail is reached, Is placed
twenty-five and one quarter miles above
Pyramid harbor, which Is regarded under
the treaty as tidewater mark, so the Cana
dians are not allowed to reach any point on
the Lynn canal. Moreover, there is no per-
mission given for a free port or even for the
free transfer across American territory of
Canadian goods except of miners belong
ings. These matters may figure later on
when 1t comes to a permanent boundary
line, but they are not touched upon in this
modus. The modus vivendi follows the pre-
cedent established by Secretary Evarts in
1878 in agreeing on temporary boundary
on the Stikeen river in Alaska by an ex-
change of notes
The line on the Chilkat river is twenty
two and quarter statute miles from the
head of navigation on Chilkat inlet of Lynn
canal and on the Klehini river twelve statute
miles further inland and the whole valley OF
Porcupine creek is included within the
American lines On White and Chilkoot
passes the line is fixed at the summit or
water shed, being the points which have for
some time past been observed by the customs
authorities Of the two countries.
Text of the Modus.
The text of the modus vivendi, as finally
agreed TO, is as follows:
II Is ntfeDy agreed DetWeen the govern
ments of the United States and of Great
Britain that the boundary line between
Canada and the territory of Alaska in the
region about the head OF Lynn canal, shall
be Professionally fixed without prejudice to
the claims of either party in the permanent
adjustment of the International boundary
as follows:

creek, marked on the map No, 10 OF the
United States commission, December 81

river in the direction of the peak north OF
that river marked 5000 on the aforesaid

Sir Lewis Davies Sees Little Prospect
of Ending boundary Dispute.

LONDON, Oct. 20.-Sir Louis Davies,
Canadian minister of fisheries and marine,
says that Canada does not gain any territory
by the provisional arrangement, He visited
United States Ambassador Choate and the
British secretary OF state for the colonies,
Mr., Chamberlain, today for final interviews.
Nothing, however, resulted except an eX-
change of views, as all now clearly under
stand the positions taken by each.
Il regret" said Sir Louis, that my visit
to England has resulted in nothing more
than temporary arrangement, but experts
who accompanied me have thoroughly ex-
planned Canadas contention TO the colonial
office and, II Messrs, ChOate aud Chamber
lain, or Messrs. Tower and Hay between
them can fix up a permanent solution of the
dispute they will find Canada very willing to
consider it. l must confess that the pros
pect Is not bright.

THE modus vivendi seems to me fair to
both sides and insofar as it will prevent local
friction satisfactory Some such arrange
ment had to be made, for the condition Of
the residents in the disputed territory was
intolerable. Never , eless, although the
prospects of a permanent settlement being
arrived at are no brighter, ! believe that the
American and British diplomatists will con-
tinue their efforts to attain it,"
Sir Louis Davies will sail for the United
States by the Campania tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.-Mr. Tower, the

the proposition for the temporary adjustment
OF the Alaskan boundary line proposed by
Secretary Hay in his note of yesterday.
With that act the long-eXpected modus

JINGOISM VS.. IMPERIALISM.

SOMETHING over year ago many men IN congress
and in the country at large critCisng the hes
tancy of the chief executive to engage in foreign
war; They swung their arms frothed at the
mouth and gesticuated frantically, doing all in
their power to turn the country into the arena OF
war. When, at last, the president found that war
was inevitable, he made what suitable preparations
he could for it in the limited time at his command,
and once being fairly launched upon his course, he
pursued commendabe military tactics to bring the
war to speedy and successful issue. He struck
Spain back-handed blow in the Philippines which
crippled her in her naval arm to such an extent
that her Pacific squadron was quite unequal to the
task of aording assistance to her Atlantic squad
ron in Santiago Now, by due course of peace ne
gotations and settlements the part of the belg-
erent powers, the Philippines having become le-
gitimate possession and dependency of the United
States, and their people having risen in open revolt
and having established armed insurrecton to try
to overthrow the authority of the United States in
the islands, and the administration having taken
the only course open to it by using armed force to
quell rebellion within its own territory, now
comes the cry from these same jingoes, "1mperial-
ISM" This forciby reminds us that there are left
some of the legitimate descendants of class of
people who flourshed in this country from 1861 to
1865, famiiarly known as ''copperheads." They
were a class of men who were opposed to the war
for the Union and did all they could to obsruct and
embarrass the government in its conduct of the war.
Once they met in national convention at the
city of Chicago and solemnly declared the war a
failure! That was in 1864 when Grant and Sher-
man were literally pounding the "stuffing" out OF
the Confederacy One of the above mentioned cop
perheads afterwards became Vice President of the
United States under Ceveland's first term! Another
became so offensive that Lincoln passed him across
the lines into the Confederate army where he prop
erly belonged That man afterwards came within
something like 100000 votes of being governor OF
Ohio. One good thing we can say of both these
men today: they are dead. But their mantles have
fallen upon worthy successors and it may be that
the administration may yet be constrained to take
heroic measures with them as Lincoln did with
Va1landingham during the civil war. They de-
serve such treatment for their conduct is no less
than T-r-e-a-s-o-n.

MOB LAW IN GEORGIA.

The recent lynchings in Georgia are enough to
make ones blood boil with indignation. The hor-
rid details are scarcely fit matter to appear in pub
lie print. The victims Of mob vengeance In that
country are principally colored men, which 10 sus-
pcious circumstance. Race prejudice Ia that section
Is doubtless strong, and mitch allowance must be
made for the fact that such prejudice has been a
natural growth for many generations. Yet no de-
gree of prejudice can excuse the almost unparalleled
inhumanity shown by the recent nnobs in Georgia.
Law is the basis and should be the guaranty of
good society Such outbreaks as these tend to the
subversion of all law Communities delegate their
law-making powers to their legislatures. These
enact the laws for the commonwealth and officers
are provided to execute those laws. Then why
should the people, after delegating away their law
making power, and that power having made the
laws to cover every case of crime and having ap-
pointed officers to carry into effect those laws, take
the law into their own hands to execute without
even the form of trial? This is foolshness. 1t is
puerility. In the instances mentioned above it is
nothing but "pure cussedness" and while we do not
seek to condone, for single moment the crimes of
any one white or black, we do plead for cessation
of such outrages in the name of our common hui
manity if for no higher reason. These things are
more than mob violence Their inevitable tendency
is to anarchy We wish that it might be found to
have federal aspect so that the government at
Washington might deal with it as it deserves.

Mr.. Woodley Brugler, recently Of
Columbia, N. j., but now Of Yelling

has named "Brugler's Rail Joint Sup
port" device for the use of railroads,
concerning which the Scientific Ameri-
can has the following:
THE illustrations represent a sup
port for railway rails at their joints,
designed to prevent the ends OF the
rails from becoming battered, and
thus adding to the life of the rolling
stock. The fish plates are Of the an

of the rail, and the fish plates are sup
ported upon bearing plate which ex'
tends from one tie to the other beneath
the joint, the same spikes holding the
fish plates, rails and bearing plates in
position on the ties. To strengthen
the bearing plate, however, an arch
support is provided, extending between
the ties, the support having the inte-
gral end plates which bear against the
sides Of ties as well as against the un-
der sides of the bearing plate, while

Lorain desires an electric railway to
North Amherst just as it desires any
thing that will tend to build up the
business or the general Importance Of
the city. The railway to North Am
herst alone would be of some value to
the city, to the farmers on the road,
and to the people of that village. But
line to oberlin and Wellington and
electric connections with Norwalk and
other towns would be OF much greater
value. These connections with all their
commercial and social advantages are
offered by the L. & C. line to be built
II the city council grants the franchise
now before that body.
In an interview with ]. B. Hoge upon
this subject he said the L. & c. COM
pany are in earnest about it's construc-
ton. If the franchise is granted the
line will surely be built. The money is
ready for Its construction, the road
wants the traffic, and there is no ques-
tion about its being built. The origi-
nal plan was to build that line from
Oak Point south, but 1t is now settled
that the Washington and Dexter street
route will be followed II the city does
its part.
The Times is pleased to give this pos
tive assurance from one of the officers
OF the road.-Lorain Times.

directly against the under side Of the
bearing plate. The arch is strongly
made, so that it will not spread under
pressure, cross bar connecting the
ends Of the arch at the bottom, and the
rails being thus supported to form
continuous, even tread surface at the
joints"
1t is made without bolt or nut. 1t
forms perfect bridge under the joint
so that it is impossible for one rail to
be driven below the level Of the other
by the heaviest rolling stock. This in
vention will not let the rails drop and
in that way more than saves all extra
cost. Track men say that with this sup
port two or three men can be taken eff
each section, as half the time Of Sec
tion men is now spent in raising joints.
There is no spring in this invention,
all the elasticity necessary coming
from the road bed, the rail support be-
ing no more rigid than the track itself.
Mr.. Brugler has this invention pat
ented not only in this country, but in
four others, Canada, Germany, Eng
land and France.
The one on trial here is placed near
the Magyar street crossing Of the Big
Four railroad This was done at the
request of Mr.. M. E. Ingalls,, president
Of the road, who is taking considerable
interest in the invention and promised
Mr.. Brugler that in the event Of its
proving satisfactory, his road would
adopt it on their entire system.
We hope Wellington people may be.
come sufficiently interested in this
matter, that in case it proves a success
the manufacture of the article may be
secured for this point. Let no oppor.
tunity Of this kind pass without an ef'
fort to improve it.
