like Gov. Brady. who was present before

IL would provide to the United States
treasury an annual revenue OF nearly half
a million dollars. For this reason. and be-

with interest upon the: lands upon
which the former assessment was not
paid, and provided for an apportion-

II Causes Great Apprehension km1ng
Officials.
In Place of Accepting the Definite
American Proposal, the Cana
dams Have Come Back With q
Counter Proposal That Is of a
Character Wholly Unacceptable
to the American Side.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The nego-
tiations for modus vivendi regulating
the Alaskan boundary have fallen into
a state that jeopardizes successful
outcome, and causes apprehension
among officials.
Nothing has been heard from EN-
bassador Choate as to the results OF
the conference he had to-day with Lord
Salisbury ON the subject, but the last
phase of the case was that the Cana
dams had come back with counter
proposal in place of accepting the def
mite American proposition, which had
:been carefully drawn with the sole pur-
pose of preventing any future con-
troversy over the points already agreed
upon between Choate and Lord Sails
. bury Instead of following the lines of
the American proposals and conflnlng
the counter proposal to plain statement
of the points already roughly indicated
as marking the boundary, this last is
sue proposed a radical change from the
line on the Dalton Trail, and was of a
character wholly unacceptable to the
American side, involved, as it did, the
transfer into Canadian jurisdiction of
the fortunes and claims of many Amer
lean miners. Unless there is a decided
abatement on one side or the other OF
the demands, the desired modus Will
be as unlikely of attainment as was
the permanent agreement on the
boundary question. and the chances for
a reassembling of the Joint High Com
Emission will fade away entirely.

THE PRESIDENT RETURNS.
Mrs McKin1ey's Illness Cut Short
His Stay at Adams.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The Pres
ident and Mrs Mckinley, with the 9TH
er members of the Presidential party,
arrived here at 1870 a. M to-day, and
Were driven Immediately to the White
House Mrs. Mckinley. whose Illness
cut short the Presidents stay at Ad-
ans. stood the journey very well, and
was slightly better on arrival she
contracted a cold while in New Eng
land, and the change of the weather
seemed to affect her SO that it was
deemed wise for her to return to the
White House Her condition is not
considered either serious or alarming,
and she is expected to recuperate rap
idly.
Owing to the unexpected return or
the President there will be no Cabinet
meeting to-day, although this is the
regular day for the meeting. 1t is pos
sible, however. that special meeting
may be called for tomorrow to con-
slider the question of additional troops
for the Philippines.
DIR. Rixey said upon leaving the White
House half an hour after the arrival
of the party that Mrs. McKinley's con-
dition need occasion no alarm. Il ex-
pect her to recover rapidly" said he.
''She will probably be sitting up this
afternoon
Many people called to inquire. con-
corning Mrs. McKinley's health during
the day. The President remained at
his wife's bedside for time and then
went to his office, where he found many
matters requiring his attention had ac-
cumulated. On this account, he denied
himself to the general public. He saw

THE CROPS.
Grain Yield in Some Places Heavier
Than Was Expected.

The average temperature for the
week has been slightly below the nor
NAL, with cloudy or partly cloudy
Weather for several days, and fog in
some sections. Light showers occurred
Saturday in the coast and bay sections,
the Sacramento Valley and in the
northern portion of the San Joaquin
haying was interfered with to SOME ex-
tent, but the damage was Very slight
while grain and fruit escaped material
injury.
Grain harvest is progressing rapidly
and i'm most sections the quality and
yield are far above expectations. Wheat
especially will be a very heavy crop
except in sections affected by the
drought, principally in the extreme
south
Hay has proved good crop in near
ly all sections.
Deciduous fruits are ripening rapidly
and, with the exception of .apricots and
prunes, the yield promises to be above
the average.
Peaches are OF. excellent quality, ane

thrifty, with the prospect of at least
an average crop. Corn, POTATOES an6

STOCK YARDS STRIKE.
Demands of the Men Met and They
Will Return to Work.

CHICAGO, June 27.-The demands
of the unskilled stock yards workmen
in several departments have been met
and the men returned to work to-day,
but in other departments the men went
out this forenoon to enforce their de-
mands. Several hundred painters who
demand an increase of 21@ cents an
hour have Joined the strikers ranks.
Another conference was held to-day be-
tween, representatives of the packing
firms in regard to the arranging OF
settlement of the troubles. Most Of the
packers were in favor of granting the
demands of the men. 1t was believed
that an amicable agreement would be
reached before night and that by to-
turned to work. The strikers claim
morrow all the strikers will have re-
that they have 1000 men out.
The following statement regarding
the strike was issued by Armour q
Co.:
1.-The wage scale of 1893 has been
adopted. This practically makes the
highest wages ever paid in the stock
yards. All the packers are acting in
harmony, and contrary to rumors that
have been current in some quarters,
none of them has objected to reason
able advance on wages that have not
been up to the 1893 scale. The de-
mand foS increased wages came spas
medically from different gangs, but the
meeting held yesterday by the packers
included all the laborers in the stock
yards and the situation is now salts
factory"
Packers have been buying but little
livestock on account of the threatening
condition of affairs and tomorrow
may bring sensational developments,
as most of the stock on hand will be
slaughtered by that time. The salters
and cellar men from Swifts packing
houses, and the canning gang at Ar
mour's, joined the strike during the
day.

is made, ought to pay the entire ex-
pense. If the street has been improved
SO as to enhance the facility of trav-
cling, those who participate in the ben
eft should bear the burden although
the improvement may be located near
the property of some and at a greater
distance from that of others. The ques-
ton of location is not determinative.
The issue of special benefit lies at the
foundation of the whole controversy. 1t
was commended in the dissenting opin-
ion of Justice Brewer, supra, that the
legislative Act charging the entire cost
of an improvement upon certain de-
scribed property is legislative determ-
ination that the property described con-
stitutes the area benefited, and also
that it is benefited to the extent of
such COST and that this satisfies the
requirements of the Constitution, but
the opinion of the court is otherwise
and to the effect that there must be a
judicial determination that the abutting
property is in fact benefited.
Some decisions of our State Supreme
Court have been cited by plaintiff which
it is claimed uphold the contrary dog
II lliC. IL lnGy QO lllcy IlluSl, I'll COuiSC,
yield to the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States. whose opinion upon ques-
tions involving the provisions of the
Federal Constitution must prevail.
Upon investigation it will be found,
however, in my opinion, that the cases
in our own Supreme Court, cited by
counsel, have been determined upon q
consideration of subsidiary questions or
else are diesimilar to the case at Ear.
San Francisco VS.. Herman, IS Gala
GA, is one of the cases cited. That
however, was an action To condemn
land for the purpose of widening Mis-
sion street in San Francisco. The pro-
ceeding was taken under an Act OF
1863 which provided for compensation
to the owner of the land. There was
an objection made that the land bur-
dened with the cost of the improvement
was not properly assessed. But the
Supreme Court dismissed It with the
observation there is neither allega-
ton nor evidence that any property q
the appellants was assessed, and whe.
ther the property of others was law.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The Chi

way around the Cape of Good Hope to
Brazil, but owing to the unsettled state
of affairs in the Transvaal she will be
retained in that vicinity as long as may
be necessary to afford protection to the
American interests in that quarter
These interests are considerable, both
in the number of American residents in
the Transvaal engaged in mining opera
lions, and in the volume of American
capital employed in the mining indus
try.
