Seattle Convention Opens-Address by
the President.
Seattle, Wash, Oct. 23.-White rib
boners to the number of 500 are in
Seattle participating in the twenty
fifth annual convention of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance union and
celebrating in song, prayer and in JOY
full thanksgiving the silver jubilee OF
the organization.
The convention was formally opened
by the national president, Mrs. Lillian
M. Stevens, who said in part:
"Since the first convention great ad-
vance has been made in the cause of
purity, total abstinence and prohibit
ton. Better laws bearing upon ques-
tions of the purity and sanctity of the
home have been enacted, among them
laws raising the age of protection for
girls until it's average is now IA in
stead of 10, and in some states as high
as IS years. The influence of woman
has been in several instances instru-
mental in retiring immoral men from
Office and in preventing their romina-
ton and election to positions OF trust
and honor. The consumption of alco-
holic drinks is growing less year after
year. There is only about one-half as
much consumed per capita in the
United States as there was a quarter
of a century ago. This marks us as
the most temperate OF all nations. 1t
is deplorable that the last page of this
century's history should be blotted
with the story of war. We cannot but
pray that the hearts of those in au-
thority may be moved to conciliate the
F'ilipinos as brothers rather than to
treat them as rebels. The effect of the
conference at The Hague must be to
hasten the coming of universal peace.
Let us by petition and in all other
reasonable ways seek to bring about
the rejection or expulsion of Brigham
H. Roberts from the Fifty-sixth con-
gress. To have an avowed polyga-
mist sit as a lawmaker at Washington
would be AN insult to the virtue of
womanhood and to the manhood of
the nation.
The reports of the treasurer and cor
responding secretary were read and &C
cepted Mrs. Helen NJ. Barker, the ma
tional treasurer, reported a balance OF
$3,435. This is larger than last year,
covering eleven months, and was en-
couraging. The Willard memorial fund
amounts to $3,26S. The life member
ship fund received during the year
$s,1O6. The requests aggregated $4,000.
The organizing work cost 81 200, and
the superintendent had expended over
$1,000. All in all it was stated the out
look from a financial standpoint was
very satisfactory.

ALASKA BOUNDARY FIXED.
Provisional Line In KIondike and Por-
cupine Regions Agreed Upon.


cupine Regions Agreed Upon.
Washington, Oct. 23.-After many
embarrassing delays the modus viven-
di between Great Britain and the
United States, establishing a provi-
sional boundary line between that part
of Alaska and the British Northwest
adjacent to the Klondike and Porcu-
pine region gold fields, went into oper-
alton Friday<
While the establishment of the pro-
visional boundary cannot be regarded
as victory for either side, it is I'M
questionably true that the United
States government secured everything
it demanded in the way of concessions.
Great Britain has not secured port
on tidewater, and the nearest point in
British territory to a stream leading
to tidewater that is navigable by ca
noes is a mile and half distant. The
head of navigation proper is twenty
two and one-fourth statute miles on
the American side of the provisional
boundary. A slight concession of ter
ritory to Great Britain was necessary
in order to more clearly define the
line, but this does not benefit British
interests in any way, as the line is so
drawn as to give to the United States
control of all the passes leading to the
Klondike and the Porcupine country
from tideWater.

THE PRICED CUP Is OURS.
Columbia Victor In the international
Contest Between Yachts.

Contest Between Yachts.
New York, Oct. 23.-The America s
cup defender, Columbia, Friday glo-
riously defeated Sir Thomas Lipton's
green challenger, the Shamrock.
The time made by the marvellous
white yacht over the deep-sea course
of fifteen miles dead before the wind
and fifteen miles thrashing home was
three hours thirty-eight minutes and
twenty-five seconds. 1t has been
eclipsed in only one other windward
and leeward race for the priced trophy.
That was when the Vigilant van
pushed the Valkyrie, six years ago, in
thirty-nine seconds.
The Columbia defeated the chal-
lenger in actual time by six minutes
and sixteen seconds. With the allow
ance of sixteen seconds which she re-
ceived from the Shamrock her cor
rected time was six minutes and
thirty-four seconds.
The Yankee craft showed her supe-
riority in every point of the game, and
her active and hardy Deer isle sailor
men were more than a match in sea-
manship for the nimble Britons Of the
Shamrock. In the run to the outer
mark the Columbia was one minute
and eighteen seconds better than Sir
Thomas ship. This seemed to be the
Shamrock's best point of sailing. In
the weather work the Columbia de-
feated her rival by five minutes, actual
time.

Gen. Corbin Is Authority for the State
ment That the Campaign from This

vances-Filipino ENJOYS Coming.

San Isidro, Oct %, via Manila.-Gen.
Young's cavalry, forming the advance
guard of Gen. Lawton's division, had
a sharp brush with the insurgent
troops, who were commanded by Gen.
Pho del Pillar, who few days ago was
reported to have sent a message to
Gen. Otis containing a proposition to
sell out the insurgent leaders. Gen.
Pho del Pillar came from the western
part of the islands especially to lead
the insurgents in the fight with Gen.
Lawton's troops. Gen. Young's ad-
vance from Cabiao to the outskirts of
San Fernando was almost without OPP
position. At the latter town the in
surgents had taken a position behind
some well-constructed earthworks. The
Americans charged and drove the Fill
pinos from their position without diff
Guilty. AS the rebels crossed the bridge
spanning the Rio Grande they set it
afire, and it was badly damaged before
the American troops could eXtinguish
the flames.
One American was killed and three
wounded during the fight at San Fer
nando. Fifteen insurgents were cap
tured. A Spaniard who was fighting
with the rebels was also taken pris-
oner.
After the battle Gen. Young's men
continued on their way to San Isidro.
The insurgents had all withdrawn and
the natives who remained in the city
seemed very friendly to the Ameri-
cans. The remainder of Gen. Lawton's
division reached here later in the day.

TIN-PLATE MEN MAY STRIKE.
President Powell of the National Union
In n Conference.

Chicago, Oct. 23.-George Powell OF
Elwood, Ind, president of the Ma.
tional Tin-Plate Workers union, and
John Rombold of Ellwood City, Pa, a
member of the grievance committee.
held a conference with Third Vice
President Warner Arms of the Ameri-
can Tin-Plate company yesterday aft
ernoon in the office of the latter con-
Germ in this city concerning certain
complaints made by the National Tin
Plate Workers union which unless ad-
justed are likely to involve $4,000
union laborers in a strike. No salts
factory agreement was reached, and
the representative unionists returned
to their homes to report to the execu-
tive committee of the union, which is
expected to take some decisive action
or to advise the president concerning
a future course.
According to President Powell, the
difference is so serious that a strike
may be called. The chief complaint is
due to the employment of nonunion
men in the various mills.

Huge Array of Force Displayed.
London, Oct. 23.--International COM
plications are already growing out of
the Transvaal. What these complica-
tions are and where they originate the
governments involved are keeping
strictly secret, but Great Britain is evil
IDENTIFY aware of them, for Friday her
greatest feet shipped anchor.
1t Is this sudden show of power on
the sea that reveals an expectancy of
trouble. Secret naval movements are
already under way. 1t is believed the
channel fleet will mobilize and proceed
to Gibraltar, where it will be in touch
with the powerful Mediterranean
squadron. In the meantime the port
guardships will be formed into a home
squadron.
There is much speculation as to what
power this mobilization is aimed at
1t is generally believed to be France,
as Germany has given assurances Of
her strict neutrality.
1t is considered likely that the chan
mel fleet intends to guard the Mediter-
ranean sea and protect the Suez canal.
The fleet will probably rendezvous
at Portland, where flying squadrons
always assemble. 1t is The most
powerful feet afioat, composed of all
new battleships, cruisers and torpedo
boats Of great speed. Sir Harry Raw
son Is the feet commander.

EUROPE Is BECOMING AROUSED
Great Britain's Military Plans Puzzle
the Powers.

London, Oct. 23.-It is reported that
arations against two insignificant re-
publics are viewed with considerable
curiosity in some of the European cap
itals, notably Paris and st. Petersburg.
Notes have been exchanged on the SUBJ
ject, and it is even limited in unofficial
quarters that inquiries will be ad-
dressed to the British government as
to the contemplated absorption of the
two republics by the British empire.
The Press association announces
with an air of authority that the gov
ernment's plan is to terminate the war
in the speediest manner possible after
the forts at Pretoria and johannesburg
have been RACED and then to promul-
gate by order of the queen in council
a new constitution for a group of five
federal states-Cape Colony, the Trans
vaal, Natal, the Orange River Free
State and Rhodesia-under the title of
the dominion of South Africa, the
crown to nominate a governor general
and the five states having power to
elect its own lieutenant governor and
to have local legislatures with a do
minion parliament to meet at Cape
Town.
With some notifications, the scheme
Is based upon lines similar to those OF
the Canadian government.

Chicago, Oct. 23.-Whether or not
the declarations of the Supreme court
in the glucose case threaten the cor
porate life of recent large combinations
of capital and preclude their right to
do business in the state of Illinois is
the most important question involved
in the glucose trust litigation. Until
the full text of the opinion is known

will differ regarding it's effect. That it
is severe blow to combinations whose
ultimate effect is to control output and
