just proceeding that led to emancipation,
and concluded by resolving that It was the

MASsACRED by BLACKS.
Germans and Native Soldiers Were
betrayed and Slain.

Liverpool, Oct. 12.-The steamer Niger,
which arrived to-day from Southwest At
rica, brings news of the massacre of
Lieut.. Guise, German commissioner at
Rio del Rey, near Old Caabar river, on
the Blight of Biafra, and also of Herr
Leemeyer, a German trader, together with
a hundred native soldiers and carriers,
constituting an expedition formed by
Lieut.. Guise to quell disturbances near the
Cross river which forms the boundary be-
tween British and German territory there
A native chief was taken as guide, but
he led the expedition into ambush. He
was promptly shot when the Germans re-
ceived a voljey. They fought courageously
but were outnumbered and slain. The ma
tives then looted the neighboring factories
and murdered the native employees, after
which they crossed into British territory
Two British traders, who were warned
had a narrow escape, managing to get
down the river in a canoe, and to reach
Rio del Rey, where they found only soil
tary German official and a half dozen
black soldiers.
Great excitement prevailed at Rio del
Rey when the Niger left on Sept. II, as it
was thought the natives might come there.
News had beer sent to the Cameroons,
from which point German relief expedi-
ton could be dispatched.

past the houses of many prominent ciu-
zens have been robbed of very valuable
jowery in many instance the hauls being

These robberles occurred with such fIe-
duency and were attended with so much
success that the detectives were led to be-
lleve that The perpetrators were not birds
of passage, but that they were web ac-
quainted with the lay of the land. The
easy way in which the thieves disposed of
their booty without leaving the slightest
clew puzzled the detectives no little. None
of the stolen articles turned up at any OF
the pawn shops.
After weary months of waiting, the de
tectlves claim they have flushed bigger
game than they expected, and Atlantas

the articles being a pistol with Wilkes

How the Admiral Was Made Much of
in Montpelier.


Montpelier, W., Oct. 12-Vermont ex-
tended a formal welcome to Admiral
Dewey to-day, The celebration was very
elaborate, exceeding in extent the ceremo-
nles attendant upon the dedication of the
Bennington monument years ago, which,
up TO that time. had been the grandest
event in the history of Vermont.
In the forenoon the Admiral spent the
greater part OF the time in receiving and
welcoming old friends and nelghbors.
About noon he attended a family
gathering at the residence of his
brother. and at 1 o'clock re-
turned to his car and received the
special committee from the state. Soon
after he accompanied the committee TO the
executive mansion, where he was formally
presented to Gov. tssnith and Mayor Sem
ter. In the afternoon there was a parade,
and the Admiral was kept busy returning
greetings He was welcomed TO the state
and to the city, and presented by the Gov
ernor with the beautiful and costly medal
which the state had voted him.
The day wound up with a gorgeous dis
play Of fireworks on the ground behind
the Dewey cottage, and a bonfire whose
flames shot up 100 feet in the air, and
whose glare was seen thirty miles away.

TEMPORARILY SETTLED.
Canada Gives Her Consent 10 the
boundary Arrangement

Canada Gives Her Consent 10 the
boundary Arrangement.
London, oct. 12.-sir Louis Henry Davies,
Canadian Minister Of Marine and Fisher
les, informs the Associated Press that he
has given Canadas consent 10 a tempor-
airy arrangement OF the Alaskan dispute.
This has practically settled the whole mat
ter for the time being, as the main feat
ures Of the arrangement were originally
suggested by the United States. Col
John Hay, the American Secretary Of
state, win sign the last papers within
few days, and Reginald Tower, British
charge daffaires in Washington, viii rat
ify on behalf OF Great Britain.
Sir Louis Davies said this evening; "The
terms agreed upon are simply a line
drawn across Chilkat Pass, de,imltated by
the river and mountain top. It has abso-
lutely no significance, except that he hope
thereby TO avert local friction. OF course
an arrival at even temporary agreement
is satisfactory.
80 far as the original contention Is
concerned. we are just as misty as ever.
l see no signs of reaching an immediate
settlement. Canada relinqulshes no claim
by her assent to this temporary arrange
ment and she has not the slightest in
tenton of allowing her original conten-
ton to lapse into obscurity. 1t IS not our
purpose to permit this new understand
ing TO extend a day longer than Is nee
essary"

President has received no intimation from
