TEMPORARY LINE
It Is Again Stated That Great
Britain and the United
States
Have Practically Come Together
on the Alaskan Boundary
Question.
Both Sides Have Made C6aces-
sions From Original
Positions.

New YORK, Sept. Ga special to
The Herald from Washington says:
Great Britain and the United States
have practically agreed upon u ,e,npor-
ary line defining the boundary between
Alaska and Canada. Negotiations now
in progress relate only to minor points
growing out of the definition Of tue
line. One of the unsettled questions re-
lates to the status Of mines owned by
Americans which may lap over into
territory which has been under the
American mine owners say that it would
be unfair to American miners If no pro-
vision saould be made for them i'll case
their property should lie hall on the
American and half on the Canadian
side of the line. The prospective set
Element of the boundary question is
due to concessions made not only by
Great Britain, but by this government
also. Secretary Hay has won III ths

though, it is said, he has agreed tothe
placing of the line just aooye tne vii
lage, instead of four miles oeyoul as
originally demanded. s y :.
Secretary Hay laid the late CORE
spondence in the controversy before the
cabinet ut its session and considerable
satisfaction with it was expressed. 1t
is expected that the inodus vivendi will
be settled in few days, unless Canada
should again assume a hostile q. tisude,

Matters in the Transvaal Appear
to Be Slightly More Fa-
ivOrable.
Opinion Expressed at Pretoria
That the --latest Note Opens
a Way
Whereby Negotiations May Be
Resumed Conditions Still
Warlike.

LONDON, Sept. 6.-The latest news re-
ceived in this city from various points
in South Africa is vague and contradic.
tory. Nothing more is known regard
ing the status of the negotiations be-
tween Great Britain and the Transvaal
than was learned Monday. The officials
of the British war Office emphatically
deny that the reserves have been called
out Or that any steps have been taken
to that end.
The afternoon newspapers follow the
lead Of the morning papers in taking an
extremely grave view of the situation,
although the war office denial so:ne-
what tends to allay the wildly alarlnist
reports current. ...
The Boer organ here. the Standard
and Diggers News, prints a dispatch
from Pretoria saying that the tension
there was apparently less severe, and
that it was believed arrangements for
the proposed conference at Cape Town
wouldbe completed, although President
Kruger of the Transvaal Republic was
unlikely to attend.
Many Think War Certain.
The opinion of those who regard the
beginning of war between Great Brit
ain and the Transvaal as only a matter
of short time, is voiced by the St.
James Gazette, which says:
The news concerning the crisis is very
grave. We learn that three more in
fantry brigades have been ordered to
Cape Colony, including the Gordon's Of
Dargai fame; one battalion of the High
land light infanty, which fought in
Crete; the second battalion of the Black
Watch and the second battalion of the
Camerons. These regiments are under
orders to be ready to leave at "a hours
notice. The officers and men are de.
lighted at the prospect of active service

Opens Up a Way.
The second edition of The Times is
sued during the morning contains dis.
patch from Pretoria under date of Sept.
4. says:
1.-The predominant view is that the
last dispatch opens up the way to a
modus vivendi, inasmuch as proposals
of Mr.. Chamberlain relating to the
seven years franchise have been practi.
cally complied with. This is the result
of the influence of Herr Fischer (the
special agent of the Orange Free State
with the raad."
This dispatch, however, is at variance
with the editorial views on the matte,
expressed by The Times.

DEADwooD, s. D., Sept A fierce
timber fire is raging about 10 miles
south Of this place and threatening Il
wide extent of country. It broke out
some time Saturday night and as every
thing is dry as tinder and q gale is
blowing from the south the situation is
very serious. People have turned out
from the Immediate vicinity to fight
the fire but thus far the efforts have
been with little success. Englewood,
on the Burlington railway, is threat
ened with destruction and the inhabit-
ants are trying to get their belongings
to places Of safety.

RENNEs, Sept. 5.-As the end Of the
Dreyfus courtnartial trial cones
within sight the French government is
beginning to display fear that the YER
dict may give rise 10 trouble and orders
have just been received for two regi-
ments of infantry and one of cavalry.
already within hail Of Rennes, to hold
themselves in readiness to proceed to
that town at the first manifestation of
trouble at that place.
The anti-Dreyfusard organs by their
anti-foreign articles, have added to the
enemies of the foreigners and there is
no doubt the foreign journalists will be
the first victims of the mob-not so
much Anglo-Saxons as Austrian, Ger
man and Russian Jews, who form q
majority of the representatives of their
respective countries.
Damaging Evidence if True.
The feature of the days trial was the
testimony Of Eugene Cernuschi, who
came out with hatfooted denuncia-
ton of the accused, which, even though
it may eventually be proved fairy
tale, is bound for the moment to exer-
else a malignant influence upon the
French people. Cernuschi's testimony,
which was in the form of letter to the
president of the courtmartial, Colonel
Jouaust. was most unequivocal. He
claimed that on three distinct occa-
sions, twice in France and once at
Geneva, he was told by high placed
foreign officer that Dreyfus had COM
municated reasonable documents to
foreign power. In the third instance
Cernuschi said the officer had shown
him the document emanating from
Dreyfus and that this officer left France
hurrledly two days prior to the arrest
of Dreyfus. The allusion was evidently
to Colonel Schwarzkoppen. the military
attache of the German EN- ,sy in Paris
in 1894.
VIII Prolong tho Trial.
The introduction of foreigner as
witness for the prosecution gave M.
Labor an opportunity to submit the
most important request he has made
throughout thaa trial, q request, which.
if granted by Colonel Jouaust, though
this is extremely doubtful, would Ger.
tainly have momentous consequences.
M. Labori announced his intention, in
view of the step taken by the prosecu-
tion in calling foreign evidence, to ask
that inquiry should be made through
the regular diplomatic channels as to
whether the documents mentioned in
the bordereau were actually commune
Gated and if so by whom. This involves
an application to the German govern.
ment, which the courtmartial is scarcely
likely to approve. In any case the ap.
plication means the lengthening of the
trial for several weeks. The introduc-
tion of Cernuschi and the other devel-
opments of the day, it is predicted, i'm
ply another fortnight's sitting, at least.
Cernuschi will now be heard behind
closed doors
