quarters, that the fAilufE 70 agree on
boundary hne between Alaska and Can
ada, which seems likely 10 result from
Canada's attempt to play the grab game,
will result in any break Of the pleasant re-
lations between the United States and
Great Britain. He realizes that the fall
.ure TO agree will be the cause Of consid-
cradle irritation, and possibly Of Some
disturbances in the disputed territory. bur
does not believe that it will dangerously
involve the two governments.
The President is devoting much OF his
time to the selection Of officers for the
new volunteer regiment, and hopes 70
complete the list this week. Gov. Roose-
welt spent day and night in Washing
ton, upon the Presidents invitation, for
the purpose Of giving his advice in regard
to the appointment of some of these Of
ficers. The present expectation is that
the new regiments viii all be in service by
August i s. as the recruiting. which was
started today, will be rapidly pushed in all
sections.
Secretary Alger says every one OF the
alleged interviews with him while he was
in New York, several days ago, were
while there.
The latest gossip concerning the cam
didacy Of John r. Mclean, of Washing
ton and Cincinnati. for the Ohio Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination, which is
now being openly pushed by Mr.. Mclean
himself says that Mclean has no idea OF
being elected governor Of Ohio but wishes
TO use the State Democratic machine and
the prominence that may be acquired as
candidate to help him in his fight to pre-
vent Bryan getting the Presidential NOM
nation again. Ii was first said that MIR.
Mclean was after second place on the
Bryan ticket, but it now seems that his
principal desire is that there shall be no
Bryan ticket. Incidentally he will, let it
be known to all the Democratic strikers
that he is willing to put several OF his
millions in circulation to boost a Mclean
ticket. 1t is said that he has never for
given Mr.. Bryan for Directing to his be-
ing given second place on the ticket in
90, and that he is determined to get even
if possible.
Ex-Congressman Geo. X. Davis, of ILL.,,
has not been in politics actively for some
time, but he keeps close watch ION
things in his state and is regarded as an
authority. OF the political outlook he
said: 1--WE elect a governor in 1900, and
it being Presidential year, the Republi-
can party will have great advantage,
seeing that the State ticket will almost
surely carry with the SUGGEST of the Ma
tional ticket. The two will go together.
There is scarcely doubt of the continu-
ance of Illinois in the Republican col
umn."
Ex-senator Brown and Hon. Jesse
Smith, of Utah, are in Washington trying
to secure official permission for the peo-
pie of northeastern Utah, to pasture their
sheep on the Uinta reservation, embrace
ing $4,000 acres, which was set apart as
a forestry reservation under the last
Cleveland administration. Mr.. Brown
said on the subject: People wonder at
crime in the western country, and yet
these immese reservations. covering thou
sands Of acres, are left as regular hiding
places for cut-throats and outlaws of ev-
cry character. These reservations, and
especially those in the far West, have
practically no police protection, and it can
be r,adily seen that if the government
would permit their use, for pasturing our
sheep, this would give the reservation
protection that it would not otherwise
get" Speaking of politics Mr.. Brown
said that Organism was rapidly dying in
the West and predicted that President
Mckinley would receive the electoral
votes of Utah and Colorado.
There is neither surprise nor alarm in
official circles on account OF the few cases
of yellow fever among our troops in Gu
ba. Surgeon-General Sternberg, of the
army, said: I'VE have anticipated yellow
for it, and never expected to get through
the occupation OF the island without some
cases of the disease. Maj. Gen. Brooke
understands the situation. He has as his
chief surgeon a competent officer, and
anything called for by him will be imme-
diately sent. That there may be plenty
of surgeons available, additional immune
surgeons have been ordered to report to
Dr. O'Reilly. : s -.s.ss issxf&s3 ssz.~
Col. Henderson received a warm well
come from his numerous Washington
friends, during his stay OF several days in
the city. Neither his successful Speaker

newspaper writers of his military title to

once accepted by the pubic in general
Hon. Thos. J. Henderson, who represent
ed the Seventh Illinois district in the
House from the 44th to the sgd Congress,
was breveted Brigadief General in the
Civil War, but Hon. ID. b. Henderson, who
never got higher in rank than Col. of the
10th Iowa Infantry, has made the slight
est change in him. He greeted all his
friends, from President Mckinley down
to the humblest private citizen, in the
same whole-souled way that has made
him one Of the most popular men who
ever sat in Congress, and which probably
also made him sure Of becoming Speaker
of the House.
