YIELD NOT
ONE FOOT
Of Our Territory In Alaska
To the Dominion Of
Canada
SAYS GBN. ANDERSON
With Our Outlying Posses
sion the Pacific Becomes
A Lake That We
Can Control.

CHICAGO, Msy13O.-Under the direc
tion of the war department Brig. Cen
Anderson, commanding the depart
ment of the lakes, has ordered comps.
ny E, of the 7th infantry to Alaska
The company is now stationed at Ft
Sheridan.
Gen. Anderson went to Alaska about
year ago with q force of soldiers and
drove out of the territory Dominion
police that had rendezvoused there, it
is supposed, for the purpose OF taking
possession of valuable lands belonging
to the United States.
So the general says the United
States cannot afford to yield foot of
United States territory to Canada in
this controversy over Alaska. With
Sksgawsy and TaYis in our possession
in the far north and by holding Mani
la, Honolulu, Guam and other possess
sions in the far east, he says the Paci-
fic ocean becomes an American lake,
the commerce of which we may control
entirely.

In Denver Over the Gig Prize Fight.

In Denver Over the BIG Prize Fight
DENVER, May 30.-Excitement il
this city over the Fitzsin1mons-Jef
fries fight is keen. Betting is heavy
but odds remain one hundred to sixty
five on Jeffries with plenty of money
for the Californian.
The Colorado Athletic association
opens it's new arena the night of the
contest, and today it arranged to send
Kid Mccoy to New York to report the
battle and telegraph it fully by rounds
as the princial attraction of the arena
opening.
NEW YORK, May 80. Sports from
out of town have commenced ito arrive
and from now on there will be renew
ed interest in the Fitzsimmons-
Jeffries fight. Current opinion
seems to be that odds
on F:tzsimons will gradually
dwindIe and that bets will
be made at even money on the night
of the contest. Jeffries's admirers
seem disposed to accept any odds offer
ed by FitZsimmons' followers.

L
| NEWPORT, r. I. May 30.-Memoria
Day 1899, will live in the history o.
Rhode Island as the day of the last
| gubernatorial Inauguration witnessed
in Newport.
At noon today Elisha Dyer was in
augurated governor for the third time.
The inaugural ceremonies. which were
preceded by a parade in which hun
dreds of veterans, members of civic
and military organizations and jsckies
and marines from Admiral Sampson's e
fleet took part, were by far the most
brilliant ever seen in Rhode Is-
land.
The great resort of wealth and
fashion seemed determined that it's
career as capital city should end in q
blaze.of glory and the decorations of
the streets and houses were elaborate
in the extreme.
Simultaneous with the Inauguration
of the new state officials the general
assembly convened in final session
which will last until Friday, on which
day the dual-capltal system which has
existed in Rhode Island for so many
years to the annoyance and confusion
OF geography classes throughout the
land, will come to an end

were made by one or both feet.
This is an important point, as the

overruled the objection.
Certified copies of the Indictments

against the defendant was Less Dow.
