st. Paul, Mimi, May 30.-Two wo-
men are claiming the body of Edwin ].
Barker, who was killed in the rail-
road wreck near Waterloo, Iowa The
body lies in the morgue there. One of
the claimants is Mrs. e. J. Barker, the
widow of the dead man, and she is nav
on her way from Hot Springs, Ark,
to take charge Of the remains. The
other claimant is Miss Ida ShadEille
of Neihart, Mont, who arrived in Wa
terloo last night. She declares that
Barker was to have met her in Mime
apolis Sunday and they were to have
been married yesterday.
Her story is borne out by the dead
mans actions on the day preceding
the wreck. The porter of the Pullman
remembered that the dead man gave
him telegram at Quincy. ILL.,. address
ed to a woman in care of the Nicollet
hotel at Minneapolis. He remembered
afterward that the message was sign
ed Barker The railroad officials trac-
ed the telegram to Miss Shadville, who
was stopping at the hotel. She was
wild with grief when informed of her
intended husbands death, but rallied
soon and went to Waterloo to identify
the remains
A special from Hot Springs says that
Mrs. Barker came there with her hus-
band from Montana several months
ago. She was in delicate health. They
were married a year ago at Butte. Her
husband was interested with his broth
er, J. c. E. Barker, in extensive min
ing interests in Neihart and other
points in Montana.
Miss Shadville was informed this aft
ernoon of his alleged duplicity. and the
shock was almost as great as the news
of his violent death.

ARBITRATION SCHEMES.
A Compromise Which Seems to Meet
With General Acceptance.

With General Acceptance.
London, May 30-The correspondent
of the Standard at The Hague says:
An important advance was made to-
day in the direction of a scheme of ar
bitration, combining the Russian, Brit
ish and American proposals. The rep
resentatives of these nations arrived
at an agreement which seems to find
general acceptance. Sir Julian Paunce-
fote conferred this afternoon with Seth
Low and Mr.. Hollis. and both the Brit
ish and American proposals were ex-
amined, with the result that the United
States will support the Pauncefote
scheme for a permanent tribunal
In all practical and essential feat
ures the British and American plans
are identical, but the American dele
gates have gone further, covered the
whole field of arbitration and drafted
provisions for a rehearing in the event
of a disagreement. Their proposals will
be submitted to the drafting commit
tee Wednesday.
1T ought not to be difficult said
Mr.. Hollis "to hammer out workab BILE
plan from these three plans"

CANADA'S CONTENTION.
The Alaska Boundary Question as Viewed
by Premier Laurler.

by Premier Laurier.
, Ottawa, Ont, May 3O.-In the house
last night Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the pre-
mier, replying tpya question relative to
the Alaskan boundary question. said
that Canadas position to-day was ex-
actly what it was when the commission
adjourned. There has been no change
and there would be none on the part
of Canada.
According to our construction of the
treaty of 1885, continued the premier,
1.-The boundary line should follow the
crest of the mountains nearest to the
coast, passing over bays and creeks
and inlets, which are territorial waters.
whereas the Americans maintain that
the boundary lines should be drawn so
as to place in American territory the
strip of territory which was given to
Russia by the treaty of 1926, beyond
and above all headwaters. That was
the contention, I may say which was
maintained all along by both parties
and it may be assumed that this was
the position maintained by the British
commissioners
After negotiating on these lines for
long time without reaching an agree
ment, we proposed arbitration on the
Venezuelan precedent.
THAT proposition was ours and it
was not coupled with any other condi-
ton"

HAILED AS A HERO.
Major Marchand May Pose as Another
General Boulanger.

Copyright 1899 by Associated Press.
Paris, May 30-Three events have
taken place to-day, each of which with
out the others would have sufficed to
electrify France. All coming together,
interest was diffused and no convul-
sion thus far is apprehended.
One was the landing of Major Mar
chand at Toulon. The second was the
speech of General Herve~ and the pro-
ceedings generally in the Paris court
of assize. where the de Roulede- Habert
trial is going on. The third was the
conclusion of Judge Ballot de Beau
pres report on the Dreyfus case read
by him before the court of cessation.
major Marchand is hailed as a hero
by all the enemies of the republic He
is contrasted by them with the foreign
minister, NJ. del Case, whose good
sense in the Fashoda matter is stig-
matized as cowardice. To pay ova-
lions to Marchand is at once to let
loose Anglophobe feelings and to bother
the republic. He was educated by re-
ligious orders and has been patronized
by the Catholic missions in Paris,
which are only second in Importance
to the propaganda in Rome. It may
be that being man of humble birth

NJ Ballot de Baupre's summing up in
the court of cessation in favor of Drey-
fus has not disturbed the town. 1t was
foregone conclusion, but as the judg-
ment is to be revised and not quashed,
there will be a new trial before a court
trial and it is hard to doubt that the
result will be acquittal, there being no
proof against Dreyfus.
NJ Drumont this evening expressed
himself as delighted with the outcome,
"inasmuch as the whole affair shows
that Jews, all over the world. will act
as one man whenever Jewish interests

The main feature of the De Roulede
trial is the attempts being made to use

Nothing could be more disingenuous
M. Loubet was never implicated in Pan

124 republican deputies in 1892 as

| Reinach. the police were about to search
| his papers, which contained proofs Of
| parliamentary corruption. Loubet and
| Carnot as well feared that the republic

| But to-day M. Quesnay de Beaurepaire,
! who was attorney general in 1893, spoke

His drift was to impress the jury with
