READY FOR ARBITRATION
Sealing Question TO BE Settled by In
tprnational Cout-Alaskan Boundary
to Have Permanent Conclusion.

LONDON. October 2i.-Russia, 1t has
been learned, has at last agreed to ar
bitrate with the United states the claim
resulting from the seizure of sealers i'm
the Behrng Sea. which have been pend
ing for about eight years. a protocol
between the two governments has been
drawn up. and the final formalities are
expected to be concluded next month,
and the arbitration will probably take
the form of the Venezuela court.
LONDON, October 24-Canada's final
proposition for a permanent settlement
of the Alaskan dispute is as follows:
That the boundary line be arbitrated
upon terms similar to those imposed
by the United states and Great Brit
ain over Venezuela, particularly those
provisions making fifty years occupan-
cy by either side conclusive evidence
of title. occupancy of less than that pc
Rod to be taken as equity allows un-
der international law.
That as a condition precedent abso-
lutely preliminary to arbitration, Skag-
way and Dyea would be conceded to the
United States without further claim If
Canada received Pyramid harbor.
In other words, Canada gives W
much of the disputed gold country in
return for a seaport, but stipulates that
she must get the latter before she
agrees to arbitrate the boundary line.

A DANGEROUS RUNAWAY.

The Japanese celebration yesterday
was the cause of disastrous runaway
through Chinatown to Merchant street
A hack horse driven by Manuel Phil
lips was struck bya Japanese bomb and
started on the run, breaking the shaft
of the hack. Frightened by the bits
of broken harness that chung to it, the
animal dashed madly along the street
till it met with a violent fall. Both the
fore legs We're badly cut and there Were
wounds on the horses head and nose
The harness was ruined and the hack
very much damaged.

Only last week we examined the beer
brewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash, and it is a
perfect illustration of the quality Of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend, for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
of beer is most beneficial in its use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior
excellence is a very wholesome bever-
age. Physicians often have occasion
to prescribe a pure beer for cases Of
debilitatiOn, and they can safely order
this beer, made by the Capital Brewing
Company
L. II. Dee has in his keeping the
American Journal of Health and can
be seen by anyone.
This beer can be had in bottle or on
draught at the HOFFMAN, corner of

sortment of the very best of American
and foreign liquors we are pleased to

Within her cloister garth from weeds atop
And round the priestless pulpit auguries
And laughter of the Cherweli fish that stop

Delicious herbage under choral trees.
The cry for silver and gold in Christendom
Without threads not her silence and her dark.

But seaiike rumors of good men 20 come,
And, through despairing hours, harmonious
make
A rhythmic progress in the ears that bark.

sition, and while he has al all times

pecially in such trying circumstances

ROUNDING UP THE BANDITS.
The capture by the rural guard Of
Major Jose Acosta at Guanajay, fol-
lowed by his confession of his own
guilt and his implication of others,
seems to promise the discovery of the
leaders of the numerous recent raids
nm the Guanajay district. It now turns
u that the proceeds of the safe rob-
berry at Mariel were some $4,O 900 gold
and $1,000 in Spanish bank bills. En-
rique Hernandez, one of the leaders,
gave $1,000 to Acosta, who changed it
at Havana at Z per cent. Acosta is
thoroughly frightened and now keeps
the guards busy hunting for the per-
sons whom he exposes. Three were
caught today. He now says that the
party participating in the recent rob-
berries numbered forty-three men.

More Trouble Feared

Marion, Ill, June 30.-Today, as the
train on the Illinois Central road, car
rying a coach load of negroes from
Pana to Brush's mines, one mile north
Of Carterville, stopped at the Fredonia
mine, three miles northwest of Carriers
Vile, a large number Of striking union
miners opened fire on the negroes, kill
ing one woman and wounding about
twenty others.
Before THE bloody work could be car
ried further, the train pulled u for
Johnston CITY. When it reached a
point one mile north of Brush's mine
the negroes were unloaded and march
ed across the country to their destina-
ton.
1t is said that a majority of the riot
erS We're negroes, whom Brush brought
here from the south about a year ago
and nave since Joined the union. There
is great excitement in the neighbor-

IN the ground ready for a fight, may

Immediately after the riot, asking for

the scene, but he too no deputies with
him. He had no guns ITO arm them.
A majority of BruSh's miners have

PACED BY A LOCOMOTIVE
Charles M. Murphy Makes a Mile on a
Bicycle in Less Than Fffty~Efght
seconds

New York, June 30.-Charles M. Muir
ply, of the Kings county wheelmen,
rode a mile on a bicycle, paced by a To-
connective, in 81 As seconds today. His
course was a two miles board track on
a siding of the Long Island railroad.
Murphy followed an engine and a day
COACH, the latter being provided with a
hood, which acted as a wind shield for
the rider. The board track, which was
laid ear haywood, l.. l., and extend
ed from that station two miles east,
was as nearly perfect to a, level as skill
could make it, Fully 5000 people saw
Murphy make his daring ride. Engi-
neer Sam Booth had his hand on the
throttle of Engine "A when the word
was given to start-ten minutes past
5 o'clock.
As they neared the beginning of the
mile stretch, the pace was a mile a
minute and a cloud of dust obscured
the rider from the view of the spec
tatOrs, who lined the banks on either
side.
Entering on the space which would
test his speed, Murphy, in reply to a
| query, shouted: Il am all right; send
her along!"
The quarter was reached in Is sec
onds and the half in 20 %. The timers
for the three-quarterS were Messers.
Dieges and StOll, the former register
ing A and the latter 43 3-5. AT the
finish the liners agreed that Murphy
had covered the distance in 81 As sec
onds.
Those on the back platform who
| watched Murphy all through his Won
| derful ride, stated that the riders han
die bar had knocked against the rub-
Der buffer at least six times, and each
time the conclusion sent him back full
ly six feet, but Murphy always had
strength enough to regain this distance.
AT the finish two strong men on board
/ the train reached down and seized the
[ rider by either arm and lifted him
| aboard the a in safety. Their ac-
| ton undoubtedly saved Murphy's life
because he was then in such a weak
condition that had be been allowed &c
remain on the wheel ne would have
been unable to control it and a serious
if not fatal accident might have hap
pened. Murphy was carried to the
front part Of the car and laid on a cot
where a physician administered to him
and in less than five minutes the cyclisi
was able to with those around
him.
Murphy rode a 2S-inch wheel, geareG
to 120. He vas tied to the wheel and
when he was drawn into the car the ma.
/ chine was taken with him.

The Iiners' Wage Question Settled

Birmingham, Ala, June 30.-After a
conference of ten days the coal min
ers of Alabama and the operators came
to an agreement this afternoon in re-
gard to the scale of wages to be paid
during the coming year. Both sides
made some concessions.
The main features of the scale are
as follows: The minimum rate to be
paid is As cents, with iron selling at
So per ton and under, and the maxi
mum rate is 55 cents with iron at $11
and over. The day laborers in the
mines get an advance of 10, IL and Is
per cent, varying according to ad-
vances received several months ago.
The idea is to give them a 25 per cent.
increase, altogether over the wages
they were receiving a year ago when
iron was selling for $40 and under.
The laboring day will remain as at
present-ten hours. Blue creek gets
an advance of 2 cents in its scale.
