Washington, July -EN-Secretary
John w. Foster returned to Washing
ton this morning and called upon Sec
rotary Hay to ascertain what the
prospects are for a re-assembling of
the joint high Canadian commission,
of which he is member, on the I'd

to assure General Foster on this point.
1t was decided he should remain in
Washington until Senator Fairbanks
arrival next week, when a conference
will be held to finally determine upon
a line of action, and frame a formal
notice to the British government re-
specting the reasons for declination
ON the part of our commissioners to
be in Ottawa on August 2. The Off
Gals are rather expecting a counter
proposal from the Canadian contin-
gent, looking to postponement of
the meeting until fall.

SLAIN BY SOLDIER SWEETHEART
Illinois Girl Killed and Her Lover
Will Die.


Lincoln, H., July 1s.-Last evening
Roy Sutton. aged 20, who served in
the army during the Spanish war,
went driving with his sweetheart,
Lena Elmer, aged is. AT midnight
Sutton returned alone with bullet,
wound just below his heart, from the
effects of which he will probably die.
He said he shot himself and threw his
revolver in the cemetery at Mason
City. A search revealed the body Of
Miss Elmer lying in a pool of blood,
with two bullet wounds in the body
and a revolver lying near. She had
evidently died without a struggle.
1T appears the girls parents, who
are prominent people, objected to the
young soldiers attentions to their
daughter and forbade him her COM
pany. 1t is supposed this was the
cause of the tragedy.

The military authorities apparently no
onger fear the massing of the Beers
along the border and in fact. it has been
provided, that the Beers shall not make

Natal authorities are rather pleased with
ibis because, they argue, the tension OF
waiting will tell severely ON the Beers
discipline; and moreover. they will soor
exhaust what little forage there is near
the border and be compelled to fall back
on their base.
