SEVEN WEDDINGS AT THE BARGE OFFICE

When Ingomar was roaming around in his woods
and made the acquaintance OF Parthenia he asked
the very foolish question What is love? OF
course. everybody remembers the answer: Two
souls with but single thought, two hearts that
beat s one"
Well, yesterday in the Barge Office there were
fourteen souls, presumably animated by seven
single thoughts, and in almost less time than It
takes 10 tell 1t each pair OF hearts was made by
sundry rever>-d U beat as one
There is rule, very carefully enforced by the
immigration authoriti = that elopers arriving hero
must get married before they finally admit ed
into the country That rule would have barred
the couples involved In this story so they all de-
cided get married. The services OF several min
listers were secured. and seven marriage ceremonies
took place.

OF appeal 70 either Collector or Secretary but
the Collector would hardly be likely 10 appeal OF

tho independence OF his Office. Although it has
been usual to take appeals by direction OF the Sec

already directed too much. An appeal. II taken
must be taken within thirty days 10 the United

PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD
TO CONVENE AT SEA
Sessions Will Be Held on a Steamship
During Trip to Alaska
and Return.

TACOMA, May 3O.-The Pacific North
west Synod of the Presbyterian church.
comprising Washington, Idaho AMI
Alaska, will hold it's annual session next
August aboard the steamship City of
Seattle during a two weeks trip TO Alas
ka and return This big steamer. with
accommodations for 500 people, has been
chartered for the Presbyterians' exclusive
use, and for two weeks will be trans
ferred from a treasure boat, bringing out
millions of Klondike gold, to a gospel
steamer, where affairs will take the place
of bars.
Delegates from five presbyteries, to-
gether with their families, friends and
other prominent Presbyterians, will take
the trip, thereby combining the business
Of the synod with pleasure, sermons and
sightseeing. From Tacoma the steamer
will go straight to Sitka, where delegates
and members of the Alaska presbytery
will be taken aboard. Business sessions
of the synod will then be commenced. as
the steamer runs to Juneau, Skaguay and
will be made at Sitka, Marys Island, /,
Wrangel and Metlakahtla. All business
Will be transacted before the Alaskan
delegates are put ashore at Sitka and
their several homes, as their presence is
just as important as is that Of the dele
gates from Washington and Idaho.
This Will be the most unique religious
gathering ever held in the Northwest It
was suggested at last years session Of
the synod at Spokane, when delegates
from interior towns expressed the wish
that this years meeting could be held in
Alaska, with the object of encouraging
far-off territory. Several business men
among the delegates grasped the idea Of
how this could be accomplished and the
preliminary plans for the coming August
meeting were then laid The delegates
will pay $50 each for the round trip, and
/ all others $40.

CANADA STUBBORN ON
THE ALASKAN QUESTION
Premier Laurier Says There Will Be
No Retreat From the Position
IT Has Assumed.

OTTAWA. Ont, May 30.-In the House
last night Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Prem
ier, replying to a question relative to the
Alaskan boundary question, said Cam
ada's position to-day was exactly what
it was when the commission adjourned
There has been no change, and there
would be none on the part of Canaaa Ca I'D t,o
treaty of 1926 continued the Premier,
'the boundary line should follow the
crest of the mountains nearest to the
coast, passing. over bays and creeks and
inlets, which are territorial waters,
whereas the Americans maintain the
boundary line should be drawn so as to
place in American territory the strip OF
territory which was given to Russia by
the treaty of 1925, BEYOND and aboxe In We all
headwaters. That was the contention,
may say, which was maintained all along
by both parties. and it may be assumed
that this was the position maintained by
the British Commissioners.
after negotiating on these lines for a
long time without reaching an agreement
we proposed arbitration on the Venezue-
Ian precedent. That proposition was ours.
and it was not coupled with any other
conditions"

ORDERED TO SHOOT
EVERY NATIVE SEEN

STOCKTON, May 30.-Richard King,
Stockton boy serving a soldier In the
Philippines, in a letter to his mother
gives considerable insight into the treach-
erous disposition Of the Filipinos. He
says:
ION the 18th of April 1, with twelve
other men, was stationed in an old native
church TO guard a bridge. Everything
went we'll for the first three days. In
front of the church lived three natives,
and every time we would eat we would
give them food, and thought they were Toer1
our friends. l was on guard on the 18TH.
NV time was up about $3.50 in the morn
ing | had hardly. gone to sleep " when 1el
about $50 armed natives came through the
rear of the church. We were compelled
to retreat Just as we were going, through
the front door of the church the three
natives, to whom we had given the food,
opened fire on with rifles. We re-
treated over the bridge and the bullets
came all around US. Luckily. however: yer
there was but one man hit, and he was
killed instantly The poor fellow had just
written home to his mother and tod hep
he was in good health. The captain gave
orders to shoot every native we saw
