Canadians Rush Police to
Porcupine District
AMERICANS WILL SEND
Soldiers to Pyramid HarbOr to Pro-
tect Our Rights--This Mining Re-
giOn is Part of the Territory That
Has Been in Dispute.

Chicago. July ia special to the
Tribune from Washington says: An in
timation has been received by the state
department that the Canadian govern
ment will send force of mounted police
to the Porcupine region in British Co.
lumbia. If this is done, the United
States government will respond by send
ing troops to Pyramid harbor to protect
the interests of the American citizens
there. The situation is extremely grave
and will call for delicate work on the
part Of both governments to preserve the
peace.
The Porcupine region is part of the ter
ritory now in dispute. which would be
neutral ground if modus vivendi were
agreed upon. This is the point where a
clash came near being precipitated some
time ago between American and Cana
dian miners. At that time this govern
ment ordered troops to Pyramid harbor
to preserve the peace. This action came
to the notice of the British embassy here
and it was brought to the attention of
the Salisbury government, which entered
a protest and requested that the orders
be cancelled This was done and the
Canadian government agreed to with
draw its mounted police. Both govern
ments have lived up to their agreements,
and since that time neither American
troops nor Canadian mounted police have
been in the Porcupine region.
The hopeful view expressed by the
British colonial office is also entertained
here, and Notwithstanding the critical
conditions of the diplomatic negota tions
1t is believed an amicable agreement can
be had. There will be no hesita ton on
the part of the officials, however, to send
troops to Pyramid harbor if the Cana
dams should send a force Of policemen
near the American line

CaStellane Is a Fool.

New York, July 11.--A dispatch to the
World from Paris says: Count Castel-
lane, who married Anna Gould of New
York, has not challenged the Prince of
Monaco to a duel as was reported by a
New York newspaper and if he expected
challenge from the prince he has been
disappointed so far. The facts in the
case are these. The ruler Of Monte Carlo
sent an open letter to Nine. Dreyfus ex-
pressing sympathy for her and inviting
her husband to recuperate at castle
which the Prince Of Monaco owns in
French territory, "when the holy work OF
justice is accomplished and Dreyfus is
liberated" The next day Count Castel-
lane sent to the newspapers a sensational
answer to that letter. Castelane being
generally held in contempt, the newspa-
pers are extracting great fun and abus-
ing him rather severely. The French
public is inquiring: Has our army no
better champion?" 1t is pointed out that
while Castellane has succeeded in evad-
ing the most Of his military service. the
Prince of Monaco, although foreigner
enlisted as a private and served France
through the FrancO-Prussian war. 1t is
not believed, here that the prince would
condescend to duel with such rid Gu
lOus person.

The Iowa Needs Repairs.

Seattle, Wash, July 1.-THE engineers
Of the battleship Iowa now in dry dock,
discovered serious injuries to her furnaces
when making a final Overhauline e .-,,o-
day. According to reliable inf, n
two furnaces We're found so nearly .=arn-
ed out that another attempt to fire them
up would have caused chem to break

serious injury to the snip. The defect
was not discovered when the ship first
went into the dry dock. Her engineer
came to Seattle a once and placed an or

neces ssary to make the repairs 1t will
take some fifteen days to make the need

An Approaching Crisis.

San Francisco, July 11.-Mail advices
from Guatemala confirm the reports of
an approaching crisis in the Central
American republic. That the dissatis-
faction will lead tn a revolution against
the administration of President Cabrera
seems hardly likely in view of the fact
that there is no money in the country
to organize anything approaching a for
midable insurrection. Unrisings in the
cities are, however, expected and while
they may not result in Cabrera's down.
fall they may cause great loss to in
vested capital. 1t is by no means unlike
ly that foreign governments, especially
the United States and Germany and pos
s.bly England, may be called upon to in
terfere, if they have not been requested
to do so already. Cabrera appears to be
maintaining himself in office purely and
simply by force. Numerous tales of poll
teal prisoners being shot to death by
their guards acting under his orders are
being circulated. Five thousand refu-
gees in Salvador and as many more in
Mexico and Honduras are ready to take
up arms against Cabrera.

A Lesson BY Kaiser Frederick.

The memoir of Kaiser Frederick

interesting anecdotes about the kindly
monarch whose reign was cut off in
such untimely fashion. Among them
Is one In which Jenny Lind figures.
Jenny Lind was at a small inn
waiting for the post chaise that was
to carry her to Coblenz, and, inspired
by the beauty Of the landscape and the
quiet OF the moonlit night, was singing
ballad for her own amusement, when
mine host appeared to beg her to re-
peat the last verse for the benefit OF
some Bonn students. newly arrived.
The songstress, who was sitting In q
vine-clad arbor. responded, and when
she had finished a broad-shouldered
tall young man entered, exclaiming:
Only Jenny Lind can sing so beauti.

quet OF wild roses into her hand and

permit me I will repeat the words for
your benefit until you know them by
