TRANSMISSISSIPPI CONGRESS.

Meeting at Wichita Promises to Be Sue
cessful One.
WICHITA, Kan, June 1.-The trans
Mississippi congress opened with ad-
dresses Of welcome by Governor STAN
ley of Kansas and Mayor Ross of WITCH
tia.
All indications point to successful
session of the congress. Delegates from
most of the states are present. All
hotels are filled to overlooking and pri-
vate residences have been thrown open
to visitors. Many delegates are accom-
panied by their wives.
Territorial expansion and an Amer
lean merchant marine are the subjects
of general agitation and little else is
heard in the lobbies.
Washington, D. c., is represented by
H. A. Newell, photographer of the
the United States Geological survey,
and Il. G. Frankenfeld, who will dis
cuss water Storage" and "The Flood
Problem" respectively.
Governor Murphy of Arizona is talk
ing statehood for his territory and the
cession of arid lands. He says:
Arizona is for statehood and the ces-
sion Of arid lands. We want statehood.
and since the national government has
steadily refused 10 appropriate money
for irrigation and development of the
arid lands, we want these lands so that
we can go at it ourselves. We've
drained the rivers and what we want
now and must have before we can go
on with our development is storage

Figured Out of 1t.

Glenwood is not to be congratulated
upon the methods employed to beat
Dimond Bros. out of the contract for
erecting a fine school building. Bids
were invited in the usual form, and
Dimond Bros. filed a tender for the
work for $13, 1877, and man named
Delaney of Minneapolis for S13, $50.
The margin was narrow, nevertheless
it was plain and fair. But the board
evidently didn't propose to let the
Sank Centre contractors have the job.
After the bids were opened John
Dimond was called into an executive
council, and was asked an off-hand
opinion as to the probable cost for
certain material departures from the
specifications, and he gave what was
merely rough estimate in round
numbers. AZ few minutes later he
was handed back his certified check
and bid with the rather chilly infor-
nation that his firm was no longer
the lowest bidder.
This without explanation or com.
ment. Upon his protesting most Wig
orously against such treatment the
only reply he could get was that De-
Laney had the contract.
The Dimond Bros, than whom no
more honorable contractors nor
skillfull builders can be found, natur-
ally feel aggrived and sore; and the
more so as the methods pursued by
the board would seem to cast an inn
putation either upon the character of
the WORK or their business methods.
1t was an unwarranted proceeding at
best.

this government sho q be willing to
make concessions in boundary con-
troversy.
The administrative owever, does
not intend to je, pare, American in
terests by giving tanada port on the
Pacific, and regrets that Great Britain
is endeavoring to use other questions as
a club with which to get this country to
accede to her views in the boundary dis
pute.
Had Agreed Upon Details.
In the matter of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, Secretary Hay and Sir Julian
Pauncefote had agreed upon the details
of the convention for its abrogation, and
that it was ready for their signatures
when Great Britain brought forward
this proposition to determine the Alas
kan boundary line and directed Sir
Julian to stop negotiations with refer
ence to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
Secretary Hay and Reginald Tower,
charge d'affaires of the British embassy,
have held one conference this week re-
garding the boundary question, but it
was stated that there did not appear
any better chance of agreement than
there had been for several weeks.
While the United States has complied
with the British request that no troops
be sent to Pyramid Harbor, Alaska, the
administration is determined to have a
force in the territory and close to the
boundary line sufficient to prevent any
fighting between Canadian and Ameri-
can miners.

CAPTURED BY FILIPINOS.

Two OAosrs of the Relief Wore Becalmed
Oppo,its Their Lines.
MANILA, June 1.-8:20 p. m.-De-
tails regarding the capture by Filipi-
nos of two officers of the United States
hospital ship Relief have just been OBJ
tanned. The Relief lies in the harbor
in front Of this city. Third officer Fred
Hsppy and Assistant Engineer Charles
Blandford, rugged sail on one of the
ships boats and went sailing along the
shore on the south, opposite the insur-
gent lines. The boat became becalmed
near tho shore and some native canoes
with Filipinos on board put ont and
captured the two men, who were I'M
armed, and also took possession Of the
boat. The United States turret ship
Monadnock quickly sent boat with
landing party ashore under cover of
her guns, and shelled the shore briskly.
The natives, however, rushed the pris-
oners into tho woods before the Monad-
nock's boat reached land.
Persons on board several other ships
saw the affair through glasses, but were
unable to prevent the capture of Messrs.
Heppy and Blandford. Friendly ma
tives arriving here from the country
around San Isidre and San Miguel re-
port that arAeign of terror has prevailed
since the American troops We're with
drawn from those parts of the islands.
The insurgents who are returning there
deal vengeance upon those of their
countrymen who have shown any friend
ship towards the Americans during the
latter's occupation of the territory. The
friendlies declare that rnnffnndi"" moo
pie are being murdered daily, and that
their houses are being burned and their
property confiscated. Plenty of sym
pathizers with the instruction re-
manned during the Amer cans stay,
and they have been reporting these in
stances of friendliness towards our
troops.
The refugees add that the inhabitants
were badly oppressed by the native SOL
diers before the American occupation,
but that their condition is worse now.
Doubtless there is much truth in the re-
ports, though such stories from Filipino
sources are always magnitied-

The Dead Irishman.

Some Irish body snatchers had rifed
a grave and hid their booty in corner
of the churchyard, when it occurred to
half tipsy fellow, who had been watch

pleasanter to be driven back to thesnear-
est town than to walk He accordingly
secreted the dead man under hedge
and lay down in his place. He was duly
transferred to cart. but when about
half the journey was over one Of the
men who had touched his hand scream

In Regard to the Various Matters
Before the High Joint
Commission.
Canadian Proposal That an Alas
kan Seaport Be a Point in
Arbitration
Could Not Be Entertained by This
Countrywide British Point
of View.

NEW YORK, June Ia special to
The Herald from Washington says:
Though less confident than it has
been Of settlement Of the Alaskan bound
ary question, tho administration is still
hopeful that the negotiations being con-
Quoted by Secretary Hay and the Brit
ish government will yet furnish . solu-
ton OF The controversy.
Sir Wilfred Lsuxier's statement that
Canada has never demanded Pyramid
Harbor IL confirmed by officials, who,
however, decline 10 talk for publication.
As matter Of fact, Great Britain for
Canada hes never asked formally for q
port On the Pacific. This was the con-
clusiou drawn BY the officials from
reading between the lines of the Eng
Nsh communication.
An official conversant with the nego-
tiations says that after considerable dis
cussion in the high joint commission,
the suggestion was made that the
boundary dispute be referred to arbi-
tration. In principle this was satisfac-
tory to the United States, but this gov
eminent desired to have it determined
specifically what territory should be
subjected to arbitration. Great Britain
consulted Canada and later in COM
munication indicated that Canada de-
sired to put into controversy port on
the Alaskan coast, probably Skaguay,
though none was named. -
Could Not Consent to 1t.
Secretary Hay officially replied that
the United States could not consent to
adopt the British position. This decis-
ion was reached after careful consulta-
ton with the president and with the
full understanding of the Importance of
such port to the great British North
west territory and the injury such an
outlet would do the Pacific coast.
To great extent, the assembling of
the high joint commission, and the
abrogation Of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
depend upon the solution of the bound
ary question Great Britain insists that
the United States has more to gain by
the abrogatipn Of the Nicaraguau canal
