Providence Journal: 1t will be really
q serious thing to vote against treaty
Of peace. Writers OF history may not
be charitable In drawing their conclu-
slons. and We believe those senator's
who vote against the treaty Of Paris
ma?l find themselves In minority as
d'sagreeable as 1t is conspicuous. This
Is not denying that there are two sides
to the question Of retaining sovereignty
IN the Philippines, 1t merely denies
that 1t Is patriotic to bid state of war
to return. and that ratification can be
opposed by n wise patriot. Let us set
tie our domestic quarrels at home, and
no" disgrace the nation In the eyes Of
TIE whole civilized world.

SPEEDY TRIAL.
Governor Asked for Special Term of
 Court

Centrevile, June S.-(Special.)-A tele- gram was received here this morning from Governor Johnston announcing that Alex Hill, the murderer of Mrs. Hester Hub bard. had been captured and ordered to be carried to Walker for safe keeping. Judge w. L. Pratt. judge of the county court, immediately granted an order for the re- moval of Alex Hill to Walker county.
 About noon today Sheriff Vance received a telegram from the sheriff of Walker county stating that Alex Hill had been placed in the county jail of Walker county. Governor Johnston has been requested to order special term of court here for the purpose of trying Alex Hill. It is generally believed that if there can be a speedy trial that there will be no attempt at violence.

MODUS VIVENOI WILL BE SIGNED TODAY Temporary Settlement Of Alaskan BOun-
 dary Dispute. MAY BE LATER ACCEPTED By Both Parties as Best Solution for
 Question.
THE PROVISIONAL BOUNDARY LINE
Retween Alaska and Canada Will Be $ At Three Points Near the Head of Lynn Canal-Further
 Conflicts Prevented

Washington, June 8.-When the state de- .lartment closed for the day 1t was the ex- pectation on the part of the officials that the modus vivendi, which has been under consideration in London, will be completed and signed tomorrow. The signing will take place soon between Ambassador Choate and Lord Salisbury, unless the programme is changed overnight. Assuming that the agreement is on the exact lines of the in- structions the modus will fix the provisional boundary line between Alaska and Canada at three points near the head of Lynn ca- nal. These will be sufficient, it is said, to prevent any further confictsw These points are as follows:
 On the White pass, at the old Canadian custom house; on the Chilkoot pass, which existed for the past six months: on the Dalton trail, just above the Indian village of Kiuckwan. The modus provides only for a temporary delimitation, but there is good reason to believe that the lines that 1t will establish will be accepted by both parties as the. best possible solution of the vexed question.

RIOTS OVER THE
 DREYFUS REVISION
Several Fights and the Police
 Charged the PopuIace.
THE RESIDENCE OF M. ZOLA
Would Have Been Object of Demon stration But for Timely Interfer- ence-Violent Scenes Predicted
 for Sunday Afternoon.

Paris, June S.-Slight riots occurred this evening between the revsionists and anti revisionists after meeting addressed by M. Francis de Pressenz, of the Temps, in the Clnchy district of Paris. There were several fights between rioters and the police, who charged the populace.
 Finally the revisionists made a move to- ward the residence of M. Zola. with the object of demonstrating, but the police in- terfered. Several revovers were fired dur ing the disturbances and twenty persons were placed under arrest
 In the Hobbies of the chamber of deputies today there was much talk of the possi- bility of the overthrow of the DuPuy cab inent next week. Gossip says that Presi- dent Loubet is not too well pleased at the failure of the government to take greater precautions to prevent the Auteuil demon- stration and would not be averse to a change of ministers in any event.
 Lists of probable members of Q new cab inet are passing from hand to hand. Much depends upon the outcome of the threaten ed outbreak at the Grand Prix.
 M DuPuy presided at the cabinet coun- cil today when the measures to be taken were considered. It is announced that the government has decided not to allow any of the generals who are mixed up in the Dreyfus affair to take part in the review at the Long Champs on July IA.
 The refusal of the government to allow M Joseph Lasies, anti-Semite and anti revisons' deputy for Greers to interpellate on the Dreyfus affair led to renewal Of violent scenes in the chamber today. His motion was finally silenced by an over whelming majority.
 There are increasing indications that there will be violent scenes at Auteuil on Sunday, as various parties are expressing a determination to demonstrate. The cabi- net has determined to take strict measures to prevent disorders. All the available po- lice force will be mobilized, and the police will be ordered to arrest everyone uttering cries against the president or the govern ment, either in the streets of Paris or on the race course at Long Champs. The Echo de Paris says fifteen police vans were sent there in advance to convey arrested persons.
 The papers announce that the prefect of police has authorized the reopening of the automobile club.

REVENUE NEGOTIATIONS.
France Wants Reciprocity Treaty With
 the United States.

Washington, June 8.-The French govern ment has taken steps to renew active ne- gotiations for a reciprocity treaty with the United States, and to that end has ap- pointed M. Chapentier as special delegate to assist Ambassador Cambon in conduct ing the negotiations.
 M. Chapentier will arrive at New York from Paris tomorrow and come to Wash- ington to take up the work Ambassador Cambon was at the state department ar- ranging the preliminaries with MT. Casson, the reciprocity commissioner. The nego- tiations with France were begun some time ago and then came to a complete halt. The position of the French authorities is very favorable towards securing a treaty and as basis for this they are ready to con- cede the minimum tariff list, which is about 20 per cent. below the minimum list not levied upon American goods. The con- sessions desired from the United States arc those under the Dingley tariff law. A par tial reciprocity arrangement was made for France some months ago, but much more extensive treaty is desired.

WAR IN SOUTH
 AFRICA POSSIBLE London Papers Talking Seriously
 of the Matter. MIR. CHAMBERLAlN'S SPEECH Daily Mail Thinks Kruger Will Back Down When Crisis Comes, While Chronicle Deprecates Secre-
 tary Warlike Attitude.
MIR. CHAMBERLAlN'S SPEECH

London, June S.-The papers are begin ming to talk quite seriously of the possibH- ity of war in South Africa. MT. Chamber lain, secretary of state for the colonies in his speech in the house of commons yester- day announced that his reply to the peti- ton of the Uitlanders, which had been held back pending the result of the conference at Bloemfontein, would now be presented to the Transvaal
 This reply Is semi officially described as "expliclt, but concilatory," but it is be- lieved to be in the nature of practical ul- timatum. The resources of diplomacy are regarded as exhausted with the failure of the conference. Nothing is left, it is felt, but a recourse to force.
 The Daily Mail says it learns that it was President Kruger himself who suggested the conference, and it claims to have re- liable authority for declaring that Sir AL fred Milner, the British high commission CT, has his back to the wall and is sup ported to the utmost by the cabinet. Com menting editorially on the situation the Daily Mail says:
 If We know Kruger alright he will back down, and if not, why-!
 The Daily Chronicle deprecates MT. Chamberlain's war-like attitude, but does not deny the gravity of the situation and seriously NcounSelS the BoerS to grant req sonable reforms, "as the only means of preserving their independence of the plots against the stock exchange and the vio- lence of Downing street."
 The Standard, which reminds the Trans vaal that its independence Is not absolute, but is contingent on a faithful carrying out of the agreement of equal rights for all white inhabitants, says:
 ''We now demand that all Englishmen resident in the Transvaal should be treated with justice, and President Kruger may rest assured that the whole country will support the government in any measure re- quired to make this demand effective"
 ''Let MT. Kruger grant the Uitlanders full citizenship, and the whole question is ended At present he only offers note of hand Cor a ridiculous sum, payable many years hence, in return for our immediate abandonment of all the legal rights we now possess for enforcing the payment of debts long overdue"
 The Cape Town correspondent of the Times says:
 At the close of the conference Mir. Kru- ger declared that he was pleased at the friendly way in which matters had been discussed and hoped they would continue to understand each other better in the fu- ture."

Washington, June S.-Probaby in spirit of comity towards the United States the government of Columbia has granted a new trial to the American, Randolph, otherwise Radford, now in jail at Medellin, convicted of murder.

 The state department has taken an ac- tive interest in his behalf at the instance of friends of the man, and owing to these efforts the Columbian government first commuted his sentence to a long term of imprisonment and has now ordered re- trial.

 Montgomery, June 2, 1S9S Hon. Joseph F. Johnston, President
 Board of Trustees Girls Industrial
 Home:
 Dear Sir-After an unexpectedly pro- longed and in some respects painful consideration of the call to the presi- dency of the Girls Industrial School of Alabama, feel compiled to de- cline it.
 I do this with unfeigned reluctance, for I appreciate to the full, I think, all the considerations that have been urged with so much earnestness by so many in favor of my acceptance. No call of the kind has ever come to me that seemed to offer me a wider or more promising field of abiding usefulness.
 But there are circumstances connected with the call and a threatened com plexity of relations and duties in the office that have co-operated strongly with other considerations to constrain me to continue my work as a pastor.
 Assuring the trustees as a body and as individuals, of my high appreciation of this unexpected evidence Of their confidence in me, and of my earnest desire to continue to serve the school that is the object of the pride and the devotion of our hearts and of the hearts of so many in our great state. I am sincerely yours, GEO. B. EAGER. The announcement became generally known in the city during the afternoon and the doctor was kept busy receiving the congratulations of the members of his con. gregation upon his deliberation and decision to remain with the church and to continue in the local ministry
 The governor has called a meeting of the board of trustees for Saturday in Birm. ingham to elect president of the board.
