GOVERNOR OFFERS REWARD

For Delivery OF Sam Hose to sheriff OF
Fulton County.
Governor Gambler, Of Georgia, on
receiving official information Of the

the assault Of Mrs Crawford by Sam
Hose, q negro, near Palmetto, offered
a reward of $3.50 for the arrest Of the
criminal and his delivery to the sheriff
of Fulton county at the county Jail.
1t is unusual to require that pris-
oner be delivered to the sheriff OF o
county other than that in which the
crime was committed, but Governor
Gambler desires Hose brought to At
lanta for safe keeping and in order
that lynching may be avoided.

have been several suggestions in the
nature of compromises and including
among them also one like those en-
bodied in Sir Louis Davies propositions,
namely: That the United States should
confirm the Canadian title to Pyramid
Harbor in return for Canadian confirm
alton of the American title to Skaguay
and Dyea-
1t is not possible to accurately fore
cast the view that the State Depart
ment will take of this last proposition,
but it may be proper to recall the fact
that in the opinion of the department
Canada has no more claim to Pyramid
Harbor than it has to Skaguay and
Dyea, and the British Government has
already been informed of that belief.
Therefore, it seems probable that Sir
Louis Davies proposition will not ma
terially advance a permanent settle
ment of the boundary question, and
that the two countries will continue to
act for some time to come under the
terms of the modus vivendi recently
arranged by Secretary Hay and Mr..
Tower.
AS to the merits of last noted propo-
sition, it can be stated that at no time
since the negotiations have Deen IN
progress for an adjustment of the Alas
kan boundary line has the United
States Government seriously considered
the concession to Canada of single
inch of ground on the Lynn Canal.
There has been some negotiation re-
specting the allowance to Canadians OF
privileges for free transportation OF
goods over any territory into British
territory, providing the landing was
made at one specified point. An alter
native proposition to this has been TO
lease a port on the Lynn Canal to the
Canadians, thus affording them the
right of free entry of their goods, but
it may be pointed out that the very fact
of the making of a lease would be a
full recognition of the right of the Unit
ed States to the territory affected by
the lease.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Jim Jeffords

debut at the New Broadway Athletic

There was a lot of slugging in the
first four rounds, and if Jeffords ha
not mixed things up so freely, he might
have stalled off Ruhlins rushes. Toe
latter simply battered him down, after
Jeffords had gained a very decided ad-
vantage.
Rubin fioored him three times in tbs

straight left early in the next round.

Cotton, Provisions, Etc.

New York, March S.-The stock mar
ket was dull most of the day, except
at the closing, when there was consid-
cradle activity. The interest largely
conferred in the Coalers, which made
some handsome advances, and Il num-
Der of the specalties went up over a
point, while fractional advances were
the rule in many other stocks. The
published report of combination of
practically all the coalers was the
ground for the strength in those pro-
perties. Much interest attached to the
declaration of the regular dividends in
Sugar. The market waited until it was
announced and then moderate activity
appeared Sugar after opening higher

gain, rose about four points for the
day. The large payment which the
Government was to make to Southern
Pacific on the claim allowed by Con-
gress lent strength to that property.
The expectation of favorable legisla-
tion lifted Consolidated Gas some 5
points, there being n sympathetic rise
in other local stocks, including Metro

were up about half as much. The stag
