fersen made an elaborate speech in be-
half of the State University and Stanford
University. The convention failed to con-
cur in the resolution for the establishment
of another university.

LONDON, July 29.-The Alaskan
boundary dispute again looms large
in the newspapers and heated dis
cussion is raging for and against the
last suggestion that a harbor should be
leased to Canada The official view
seems to favor this compromise as a
general basis for a friendly arrange
ment. It is pointed out that as the
United States, Canada and Great Brit
ain have to live as neighbors and in
their hearts desire to live as friends,
neither side can afford to assume nom
possumus attitude or act as If it was
the last transaction to be arranged, and
as the main question at issue, though
almost lost to view among the multi
tude of irritating side issues, was a
means of easy access to the Klondike,
the lease of a harbor would seem to be
the practical need OF Canada.
On the other hand the Saturday Re
view voices the feeling of a considera-
BILE section of the people in pointing
out that by accepting the suggested set
tIement Canada debars herself from
again raising the question of terrific
rial right and becomes a mere licensee
where she claims to be the owner in fee
simple. Many think the proposed COM
promise would lead TO endless compli-

MEASURES TO REPEL
POSSIBLE ATTACKS

PORT DE FRANCE, Island Of Mar
Unique. July 29.-TranquiIity prevails
at Monte Cristo, but all the people are
anxiously awaiting the important
events which it is expected will occur
shortly.
General Picharde. the Governor of
the city, has taken all possible meas
ures to repel any attack which may be
made by the followers of Senior Juan
Jiminez, one of the candidates for the
Presidency of the republic.
1t is said that General Picharde has
advised the Government to issue a de-
cree proclaiming amnesty for all Do
minican exiles, with a view to appeas-
ing the people.
At Labega Real General Don Pedro
Bobea has taken steps to suppress out
breaks should any occur
Up to the present time perfect order
has been maintained. but notwith-
standing that fact all law abiding cit
izens have been called upon to bear
arms and hold themselves in immedi-
ate readiness for service.
At Moca, where the people criticize
harshly the laXity of the Governor.
General Juan Gonzales, many versions
are in circulation regarding the killing
of the President. One has it that the
the weapon held close to Heureaux's
breast, crying as he fired the fatal
shots: "Ah, tyran, tn nest pas digne
de gOuverner plus 1Ongtemps." (Ah,
tyrant. you are not worthy to govern
longer.)
Almost before the words were uttered
the President fell as if struck by light
ming with a bullet through his heart.
. Other accounts say the President was
stricken by several bullets and that the
assassins made their escape on horses,
which had been provided and were held
ir readiness for them by friends.
General Pedro Pepil, the Governor of
Santiago, is acting with the utmost en-
ergy and has succeeded in overawing
the enemies of the Government The
greatest quiet regns throughout the
city
The population Of Porto Plata are
convinced that the grave events that
have occurred are due to incessant agi-
tation. It is known that Jiminez and
his partisans will not delay, but intend
to disembark either at Porto Plata or
Monte CriSto.
Jiminez. is not a popular candidate
for the Presidency, as it is believed he
would ruin the country In the course
of time and desires simply to make a
fortune for himself and enrich his fam
lily and friends.
1t is said that the Governors Of all
the provinces are disposed to energet-
ically defend the existing Government.
The merchants of Porto Plata have
held a meeting and decided to continue
to accept the paper money of the coun-
try for period Of thirty days.
Summing up the situation, it may be
said that a majority of the people seem
to be favorable to the present Govern

Farmers sending in separate orders
to the prison must send cash, but a

must act as a club of farmers and

IN VIEW Of the situation at Manila,
where Aguinaldo's horde are firing
or, the Red Cross, using the white
flag to lure our soldiers in range of
their rifles, acting as midnight incen-
diaries, and otherwise showing them
selves to be outside the pale Of civil
zation, the speeches in praise of the
Filipinos that have been made in
Congress, are closely allied to trea-
son. and as such their makers deserve
the condemnation of the country.
Representative Cannon was precisely
right when he said. in the House:
IF the speeches made here yesterday
Nv Mr.. Simpson Jerry and Others
had been made in Manila, they would
ave been arrested, tried by drum
head court martial and slot. The

exercise sovereignty in the Philip
,ines. If they are INSTRUCTED, the

Afterthoughts.

There's an old saying which says
''You can't teach an old dog new
tricks" That is true but it's harder
work getting an old dog to forget
old tricks. I knew a man once who
had a pup that learned trick that
he thought very cunning in pup.
But the pup grew to be dog and
then the trick wasn't so funny. He
tried and tried to get the dog to for
get the old trick. The dog couldn't
or wouldn't. So he shot the dog. The
dog died a victim to an old trick.
We learn lot of tricks when we are
pups and the old dogs think they are
cute. When we become dogs We
carry out those tricks to their logical
conclusion and they shoot us be-
cause we are dangerous to the state.
MoraL-Teach the pups good
tricks and they will become good
dogs,
Self-respect is a good starch. Some
men are badly in need of some moral
laundry work.
"All OF none" is a good motto as
regards some things, Some" is bet
ter than none" of other things; and
"none" is infinitely better of good
many thing than ''some" or "all."
A speaking countenance is the
most expressive when the month is
shut.
1t is an unfortunate thing when the
only thing about church that points
heavenward is the spire.
The man who makes mistakes does
not usually make anything. The
world has no market for mistakes.
Do not, like the drum major, think
you are the whole procession.
Some preachers fall into the error
that sheep stand on their hind legs
to eat, so they put the victuals too
high.
In the Minneapolis Tribune fire the
other night the Benz wine house was
burnt. Loss nothing.
Give got an idea" That's good.
| would rather be captured by an
idea than a policeman. If you want
to put me in prison, put me in the
penitentiary of ideas.
The sheriff of thought isn't paid by
the county. Thought is on the free
list. Thinking isn't taxable. A mans
real value is his thoughts. Poverty
of real estate and wealth of ideas is
better than vice versa.

THE ARMY BILL.-The new Army
bill is satisfactory to President Nc
Kinley, which is alone sufficient
proof that the democratic claim OF
having compelled its acceptance by
the republicans is bit of moonshine.
The simple truth is that the demo
Gratis were clearly outgeneraled by
the republicans. In their anxiety to
escape censure from the people for try
ing TO tie the hands of the admins
tration, by opposing the Hull army
bill. the democrats offered to vote for
a bill that gives practically every
thing the Hull bill would have given,
except that it only provides for the
additional men should be kept in the
army. President Mckinley and the
republican Senators took advantage
Of the opportunity thus presented to
prevent an extra session of Congress.
Their object in doing this is obvious.
First, they avoid an extra session,
which no one wanted; second, the in
creased army is secured at once,
when it is needed, aud last, out by
no means least, the army Legislation
that may be recommended by Presi-
dent Mckinley. 1t will be seen
therefore, that the claim of victory by
the democrats is just about as sub
stantiai as that set up by the Span
iards after Dewey had destroyed their
feet at Manila and later when they
announced that Cervera had won a
great victory. President Mckinley
has won the triumph; secured the sol
diers he needs, and avoided an extra
session of Congress.

Three C's News.

Mr., A. N. Molesworth, who is now
in South Carolina supervising work on
the Three C's railroad in that state, just
before his departure spoke most hope
fully and encouragingly of the further
completion of the road. In fact, Mr..
Molesworth stated most positively that
just as soon as he completed his
labors in his present field and returned
to Johnson City, force of hands would
be put to work to extend the active OPP
GRAFTON of the road into the coal fields
of Virginia, distance of about one
hundred miles.
AS everyone knows, misleading state
ments in the past have been circulated
concerning work on the Three C's, and
more than once have our people been
bamboozled into believing apparently
authentic reports, and just as often
have they seen their "fondest hopes
decay" This latest bit of "news, "
however, we give on the authority of
Mr.. Wordsworth, who told . COMET man
that the completion of the extension
above referred to is an assured fact, and
that Immediately after his return from
South Carolina work would be begun.
