An American RaiIroad in emma

Moneyed men from the United
States have secured a franchise for
building railroad from Hong Kong
to Han Kow, China, distance of
nearly 700 miles. 1t will run through
very rich and fertile section of the
country, and open up new opportu-
mites for the people to prosper.
While railroads are necessary to ma
TONS prosperity, health is still more
necessary. A sick man can't make
money If there are a thousand rail-
roads. One of the reasons why Amer
lea is SO progressive is the fact that
in every drug store is sold Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, that celebrated tonic
for the weak, stimulant for the kid
neys, appetizer for the dyspeptic, pu-
rifier for the blood, and sedative for
the nerves. 1t is taken with great
success by thousands of men and wo-
man who are run down, pale and
weak. 1t increases the weight of
thin people, and the gain is perma-
nent and substantial.

Big DEEDS OF TRUST.
Largest Ever Recorded in the
County are Brought In.
Baltimore and Ohio File Their Deeds
Of Trust With the County Clerk Six
ty-nine Thousand Dollars Worth OF
Revenue Stamps Required to be Put
On Them-Separate Book Used.

Of Trust With the County Clerk-Six-
ty-nine Thousand Dollars Worth Of
Revenue Stamps Required to be Put
On Them-Separate Book Used.
The longest deeds of trust ever ad-
mitted to record ia this county
have been filed with the clerk.
They will make up a book to
themselves and when bound they
will be labelled Trust Book No II.
They will not be copied into the
Trust Books but will be bound to-
gether. This arrangement has been
made necessary by the length of the
deeds of trust.
They are both made from the b.
and O. to the Mercantile Trust
company and the United States
Trust Company of New York. They
were filed in the clerks office on
June twenty ninth at five-twenty.
They are now being bound.
| The papers are First mortgage
lien on the Baltimore and Ohio in
favor of the United States Trust
company of New York for SIS, 1000,
600. This document bears on its
face $3l 800 worth of revenue
stamps. The other one is Prior
Lien Mortgage from the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad company to the
Merchantile Trust Company of New
York dated July 1st 1898 for $75,-
100000 and it bears 1877, 800.
These will pay in fees to the clerk
who records them $94.50.
These deeds are filed in every
county through which the railroad
passes and each county has the
same ones filed. The same amount
OF revenue stamps are to be placed
on each copy although in some of
the counties the papers have given
the revenue as much larger than it
really was.
The change in the management of
the road and the fact that it has
gone out of the hands of the receiv-
ers has made it necessary for them
to make the trust deeds.
The road went out of the receivers
hands at midnight Friday night and
is now operated by the company be-
ing on a much lirmer basis than it
has been for years

BRITISH SUMMARY OF CASE,
OFFICIAL PAPER CONCERNING THE
ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Neither Party Was willing to Accept
the Basis Proposed nv the other
for Arbitration.

London. June 3.--The foreign office is
sued parliamentary paper tonight giving
in detail the proceedings OF the Joint high
commission in Washington on February
49, relating to the British proposals for
arbitration on the Alaskan boundary. 1t
says the British commissioners proposed
the immediate appointment OF a tribunal
Of arbitration to determine the boundary
between Alaska and Canada, between the
southernmost point at Prince OF Wales
island to Mount Saint Elias in accordance
with the Anglo Russian treaty of Febru-
airy %, 1926, the tribunal to consist OF
three iurists, one nominated by he privy
council, one by President Mckinley and
the third to be selected by the two nom
inees.
The other articles provide for a meet
ing sixty days after the printed articles
are submitted; that all questions including
the final judgment. shall be determined by
q majority Of all the arbitrators, the de-
cision, II possible to be rendered within
three months Of the close of arguments,
and the employment of necessary assist
ants, each government TO pay its own ex-
penses and the other expenses to be equal
ly divided.
The concluding article provides that the
high contracting parties shall engage To
consider the result OF the proceedings as a
full, perfect and final settlement of all
questions referred to the arbitrators
The Americans accepted the proposals
as the basis OF adjustment, but proposed
In addition to the Anglo Russian treaty
that the boundary should be defined in ac-
cOrdance with the Russian American
treaty Of cession or as the same shall bC
established by the tribunal, under rules
hereinafter provided the tribunal to con
slst of six impartial jursts of repute, three
TO be nominated by the privy council anC
-nree by the president OF the Unitet
States. The United States also proposed
an amendment TO the rule as follows
Considering the coast referred to in sale
treaties, II is understood that the coast o
the continent is intended and that al
towns and settlements on the tide water
settled under authority OF the United
States and under jurisdiction Of the United
States at the date Of this treaty shall re-
main within the territory and jurisdiction
OF the United States"
The British commissioners regretted that
The Houston daily post. [volume] (Houston, Tex.) 1886-1903, 1899-06-04

they were absolutely unable to accept the
suggested notifications to their propo-
sitlons. because the proposal OF the Amer
lean tribunal did not Irovide q tribunal
Which would necessarily and IN the pos
sihle eN emit Of differences of opinion, hnal-
ly dispose Of the question, and because the
amendment to rule marked an important
departure from the rules OF the Venezue-
Ian boundary references, which LETT all
such questions to be determined by the
tribunal and because the words added by
the United states claim that an erect
should be given to their occupation OF
land in British territory which justice,
reason and the equities OF the case 40 not
require The British commissioners also
objected that the language used with ref
erence TO the coast was open to miscoh-
structlon and they we're of the opinion
that II was useless TO further press the ne
got!ations at present and that they must
refer the matter to their government for
an exchange Of views in respect to the
constitution of the tribunal.
The Americans inquired whether the
British commissioners had considered the
question of selecting an umpire from the
American continent The British members
replied In the affirmative, adding that
they thought It most objectionable In view
| of the policy long maintained and recently
asserted by the government OF the united
States towards other nations on the said
! continent The selection of an umpire by
/ any such nation would not offer any guar
antee OF impartiallty, which was the first
| qualification requisite.
! The Americans then proposed to proceed
10 settle the remaining subjects, as they
thought 1t would be unwlsc TO defer ad-
justments so nearly concluded. Several
subjects were 50 far advanced as TO assure
the probability OF settlement, II, then,
] oil
be adjusted, would II not be most conf
mendable 10 advance reighb7ry friendship,
| and could not the respective governments
be trusted to settle the principal remain
ing differences by direct nogotiation?
The British commissioners replied that
all questions should be deferred until the
boundary was disuosed of either by agree
ment or by reference to arbitration, tecausd
the manner in which they were prepared
to adjust some other impcrta'& matters
must depend upon whether II would be
pos sible to arrive at n settlement OF all
questions which might at any time occa
sion acute controversy or even conflict
washington, June at Is learned at
the state department that the negotiations
now in progress at London between Am
hassador Choate and Lord Salisbury relate
entirely TO the arrangement OF a modus
vivendl to avert the danger OF hostile
collision on the Alaskan borden. during
the present season at least, II is expected
to resume the NEGOTIATIONS for the settle
ment of the whole boundary question when
Sir Julian Pauncetote returns to Wash
ington from The Hague.
There Is every reason to believe that
the attempt TO secure a msdus vlvendi will
succeed but the basis can not be dis
closed at this time.
