MORE SPOILS
FOR THE COMBINE
The Administration Senators Have Sew.
eral Fat Piums at Their
Disposal.
Washington Bureau of the Standard,
No. 1145 G Street, N. W,

Washington. Oct 2l.-The VOL
cott-Shoup-C arter-Warren combination
has some more patronage imme-
diately in sight, The administra-
rlon senators will be permitted TO name
all the special agents who will be en-
ployed in those industries which have
their chief seats in the Rocky mountain
states. These places are of two grades.
The first and best paid are those of SUI
perVising agents. These plan the work
of gathering the statistics of the special
industries throughout the country, and
the second are local agents, whose work
does not extend beyond a single COM
munlty, or possibly a county The lat
ter places Will pay good salaries, but
for very short time only. the under
standing being that the work Will not
last more than two months. The SUPER
wishing special agents, however will hold
their places for two years or more, and,
as the director of the census has full
authority to regulate their compensa-
tion, it is likely TO be very generous, as
Governor Merriam is greatly impressed
with the necessity Of having this work
done in systematic and buSineSslike
fashion. The industrial statistics of the
last census presented many farcical as
poets, which, it is hoped. may be wholly
avoided in the next census. The Rocky
mountain senators will get three or four
supervising special agents and a con-
siderable number of subordinates.
The department of labor has just pub
lished the statistics of the $40 cities of
the United States which have more than
80, 900 population. The figures have been
compiled under an act of congress which
apparently contemplated compilation
of the official statistics from data to be
furnished to the commissioner of labor
by the cities themselves. Steps were
taken to obtain such reports from the
officials of the various cities, and many
replies were promptly received. In his
present report the commissioner says:
Very few facts were reported uniform
~ by all of the cities, and even the i'm
portant financial statements We're pre-
scented in so many different forms as tC
preclude such classification of the va
rious items as seemed necessary for a
satisfactory comparison. 1t was believed
that in order to be valuable for COM
parison and for other purposes, the va
rious items relating to the government
tai. financial and other conditions OF
these cities should be reported uniform
ly and accurately. Even had the de-
partment been furnished with the re-
ports for all of the cities within the linn

culties encountered in a tentative effort
with the reports already received led 10

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE
Between the United States and Russia
Will BE Settled

Between the United States and Russia
Will BE Settled.
London, Oct. 24.-Russia's agreement
to arbitrate her Boring sea claims is
source of great satisfaction to the
United States ambassador to Russia,
Mr.. Tower, who is stopping in London
on his way to ST. Petersburg. He said
to a representative of the Associated
Press:
1.-The relations between Russia and
the United States We're never more
friendly than to-day. The only differ
ence existing between the two nations
is now sure of settlement on lines SIM
liar to the Venezuela arbitration. I re-
turn to st. Petersburg on Saturday.
and the finishing touches win then be
put on the agreement"
Mr.. Tower was questioned on the
subject of the publication of the ru-
NOR that Russia intends to take adj
vantage of the Transvaal war by ag-
gression upon British territory. He
said:
Naturally it is impossible for me
to speak of Russia's policy towards
Great Britain, even if 1 know any
thing, but / can say most emphatical-
ly that Russia's attitude towards the
United States is not prejudiced by our
friendship for Great Britain"
1t was inferred that Mr.. Tower did
not put much faith in the reports Of
Great Britain. Another American dip
lomat said to a representative of the
Associated Press:
The Importance of getting Russia to
arbitrate these claims is greater than
the material amount indicates. FIRE.
quent efforts have been made to this
end
But" he added. Mr.. Tower has
achieved what others had to give up
despairingly. This is practical evil
dence of the friendliness of Russia and
the United States and completely re-
flutes the claims of those who have
maintained that we have engendered
Europe's hatred by our close relations
with England"

Moscow, Idaho, Oct Alt now seems
probable that the trial of the Occur
d'Alene miners on a charge of interior
ing with a United States mail train will
not begin before Monday next. The
United States grand jury is now in sesy
sion here and it is probable that the

of those in the old indictment and also
the names of 1.-The 400 whose names are

have escaped. The defense will ask
the court to pay the expenses of their
witnesses, as they are unable to do so.
Edwin Brooks, defaulting witness
before the grand jury, was brought in
to-day and heavily fined.

surrender its possession. There has
peen some negotiation respecting the
allowance to Canadians of privileges

American territory into British terri

at one specified point. An alternative
proposition to this has been to lease
portion of the Lynn canal to the Cam
adams, thus affording them the right
of free entry of their goods but it may
be pointed out that the very fact of
the making of a lease would be a full
recognition of the title of the United
States.

Cabinet Decision.

Washington. Oct. 24.-At the cabinet
meeting to-day the condition of the
treasury in it's relation to the stringen-
ey of the money market was discuss
ed. Nothing. will be done at present
to relieve the situation, as it is believ-
ed in the natural course of events the
heavy war expenditures will reduce
the large surplus in the treasury.
The cabinet decided to allow vessels
purchased by American citizens to en-
gage in the Philippine inter-island
trade. Under the laws of the United
States foreign vessels cannot engage
in coastwise trade and as all trading,
vessels in the Philippines flew the
Spanish flag much embarrassment re-
suited. Many of these vessels have
now passed into American hands and
the secretary of war will shortly issue
an order permitting them to fly the
American flag and enjoy all the priyi-
leges Of American register.

the conclusion that uniformity and ac-
curacy could be secured only by send
ing the special agents of the department
to the cities for the data desired. The
utmost interest in the investigation was
manifested in nearly every city by the
officials who were visited, and they gave
freely their time in compiling the da ia
desired, and in every way assisted the
department in the work. In many cases
the methods of bookkeeping in vogue
made uniform classification of finan-
cal items as called for by the sched-
ules OF the department. very difficult

NOT A NEW PLAN.
One of the Schemes Proposed to the High
Joint Commission.

Joint Commission.
Washington, Oct. 24.--Tt is said at
the state department that the PROPOSE
ton to make a permanent Alaskan
boundary laid down by Sir Louis Da-
Vies is nothing more nor less than a
summary of claims heretofore prefer
red. When the commission was in
session last spring and the Canadian
proposition was made to settle the
boundary question by arbitration the
American commissioners replied with
an offer to accept arbitration with the
proviso that no point occupied by the
Americans for a specified term of
years should be submitted to the arbi-
tration. In other words the term was
so fixed that by no possibility could
the title to Skaguay, Dyea or any
other place that the Americans had
occupied for a period represented by
the discovery of the Klondike fields
be called into question by arbitration.
This was one Of the final propositions
ers, which caused the failure OF the
joint conference. Since that time there
have been several suggestions in the
nature of compromises, and included
among them was one like this, EN-
bodied in Sir Louis Davies PROPOSE
tons, namely: THAT the United States
should confirm the Canadian title to
fyTdIIllu Ill IeluIH lol SdI-
adian corfirmat ton of the American
title to Skaguay and Dyea."
1t is not possible to accurately fore
cast the view that the state depart
ment will take of this last proposition
but it may be proper to recall the fact
that in the opinion of the government
Canada has no more claim to Pyramid
Harbor than it has to Skaguay and
Dyea, and the British government has
already been informed of that belief
Therefore it seems probable that Sir
Louis Davies proposition will not ma
terially advance permanent settle
ment of the boundary question and
that the two countries will continue to
act for some time to come under the
terms of the modus vivendi arranged
by Secretary Hay and Mr.. Tower.
AS to the merits of the last noted
proposition. it can be stated that at
no time since the negotiations have
been in progress for an adjustment OF
the Alaskan boundary line has the
United States government given seri-
Gus consideration to the cession to
Canada of a single inch of ground on
the shores of Lynn canal The posi-
tion has not been changed in any es-
sential respect, and as Pyramid Har-
Dor is certainly on a branch of the
canal it follows that our government

willing to submit to the bonding system,
but insist that the road must pay for
the bonds. The greatest alsaffection is
on the Montana divisions and the en-
ployes on the Eastern divisions termi-
mating here are understood to be anx-
ious to avoid trouble.
