Farnsworth is in command of Company E that is going to Alaska.
 General Anderson is interested from a military standpoint in the settlement of the Alaskan boundary question. He is the American army officer who, about year ago, went to Alaska with a force of soldiers and drove out the Dominion police that had rendezvoused there, it was supposed, for the purpose of taking possession of valuable lands belonging to the United States.
 The issues in the controversy were the subject of discussion by the General at his office in the Pullman Building, Chicago. In describing the work last year, he says:
 When 1 reached thu disputed territ- ory with the United States troops I found that the Dominion Police had t;l- ken possession of Skaguay and estab- lished military office there. Maps it. frustrating the boundary between Al
 
 the Dominion government had been circulated broadcast. Ten days later full company of uniformed Dominion police came up to strengthen the ad. vantage already gained at Skagway by taking by taking possession of Dyea and one at Haines Mission, which is the beginning of the Dalton trail.
 This gave me the advantage of pos. session. and when the Dominion police finally appeared I notified the officer in command that he would have to take his men across the border immediately that my directions were to rid Ameri can territory of Canadian police. Vel the police retired and we have held the ground ever since.

THE PIPE MISSED HIM
L. W. Pennington Claims He Was
Assaulted on Murray Avenue

An alleged attempt was made to ass
sault Lawrence w. Pennington, the
jeweler, with a piece of galvanized pipe
in the doorway of the Buckingham. 8
Murray avenue, last night about mid
night, and but for his agility, he would
have without doubt suffered a broken
skull as result.
He entered the door and did not no.
tice until he got inside that all the
lights were out. Two gas dets, which
are always burning, had been extin-
guished. He walked toward the ele-
vator and found that it had been pulled
up. He thought this strange, and was
about to strike q match when he heard
a footstep behind him. He turned, and
just then he heard the pipe whizz by
his head. 1t struck him on the left
shoulder, but as the blow fell short, I'll
did not injure him. He raised his hand
quickly and caught the pipe before it
could be raised again.
The thug evidently lost heart at this
point and ran through the door, and Mr..
Pennington made as much noise as pos
sble so as to arouse some of the per-
sons in the house.
The pipe lay on the floor, and Mr.
Pennington, after lighting up the hall
way, picked it up, and, with Harrie A.
Childs. who lives in the block, went to
station l, where he reported the matter
to Lieut.. James T. johnson. He says
he had $4,000 worth of diamonds on his
person when the attempt to assault
him was made. He could not furnish a
description of the man to the police
as he escaped in the darkness.

SUNDAY SCHOOL TREES
Children of Old South and Unity
Churches Have Merry Times

The annual Christmas entertainment
of the Sunday school of Old South
church was held yesterday from to
o'clock. AS a change from old meth
DDS, the children We're given bounti-
full supper, and it was pleasure to see
the 300 or more little tots eating at the
great, long tables. On each table were
several Christmas pies, from which
strings hung out, and which were gor-
geously decorated. When the chill
dren had finished eating, little girl
gave short recitation, and then, amid
a blowing of horns, Santa Claus made
his appearance, and welcomed the
children. Some of them were half
afraid of him, but he soon set their
fears at rest by instructing them how
to pull the strings which came out of
the pies. AT the end of each string
was a present of some sort, and by the
time all the strings were pulled, pande..
monium reigned Santa Claus was i'm
personated by Waldo H. Lewis.
The annual Christmas tree for the
Sunday school of the Church of the
Unity was held yesterday afternoon. A
supper was served the children, and
afterwards they all received presents
and candy The Charitable Society
was in charge of the supper, and Chas.
M. Thayer, superintendent of the Sun
day school, was responsible for the
presents and candy.

METHUEN'S OBJECT
IN CROSSING MODDER
Wanted to Establish Search
Light Signals With
Kimberley

London, Dec pa dispatch from Cape
Town dated Sunday, Dec. II, says that
Gen. Methuen's primary object in
crossing the Modder river appears to
have been to establish searchlight
communication with Kimberley, (which
is believed to be still on full raGions.
The water in the mines is plentiful. On
the other hand, in spite of their usual
tactics, it is considered possible that the
Beers have been compelled to assume
the offensive, the commander having
arranged for the disposition Of the
forces, and anticipating difficulty in
maintaining food supplies in the present
positions.
Moreover, it is said there is a grow
ing desire among the Free Staters to
return home, which is testified to on
many sides, and may tend to precipitate
an action on the part of the Boer COM
mands.
In spite Of the delay of Gen. Methuen
in advancing, he is regarded as largely
the master of the situation, and his en-
trenched position believed to be unas-
sailable. In the event of the Beers at
lacking Kimberley, Gen. Methuen
would be enabled to make a counter
move with his artillery and cavalry.
Consequently, such a movement on the
part of the Beers it is said, is not con-
templated 1t is apparent, however,
that to make haste slowly" is the
truest policy at present. In accordance
with Gen. Methuens dictum, the army
should not advance faster than the
sloWest OK wagon.
