Canada Wouldn't Think of Sending
Troops 20 Porcupine Country.

London, July 1.-THE officials of the
colonial office when questioned today re-
garding the special dispatch from
Washington published in a New York
newspaper saying the Canadian govern
ment has decided to send a body of
mounted police to the Porcupine region
near the Lynn canal, in Alaska to main
tain order, which it was intimated,
would result in the government of the
United States sending troops to occupy
Pyramid harbor, absolutely denied that
there was any possibility of Canada
contravening Great Britains pledge to
keep out Canadian police from the dis
puted strip If the United States govern
ment agreed not to send troops to Py-
ramid harbOr. The colonial office offic-
ials added that if any police had been
dispatched it would be found that they
are the regular reliefs for the northwest
posts and that certainly no other forces
had been dispatched to Alaska.

Ex-Agent Wins Partial Victory In
His Suit Against the Missouri
Pacific

Lincoln, Neb.. July 1.-THE suit of
T. r. Mason against the Missouri Pa
ciac Railroad company for s25. 600 at
Falls City, Neb., has been settled, the
railway company giving Mr.. Mason a
clearance card.
Mason was the company's Falls City
agent for eleven years, and was dis
charged in 1897 because, as he alleged,
he had been active for Bryan. He said
the company blacklisted him and re-
fused him clearance card
Mr.. Mason was una bic to prove his
discharge was solely because he sup
ported Bryan, nor could the company
give valid excuse for the dismissal.
Hence the compromise.

WILL GIVES UP.
Turns Over the Keys and Will Be-
come President of Socialist College.

The report comes from Manhattan to
the effect that Thomas E. viii has
turned over to the Republicans all the
keys which he had for the buildings of
the state agricultural college. This
causes the politicians to believe that
Will has given up the idea of making
a fight to retain the office of president of
the college.
AS a reason for so doing Mr.. VIII is
reported to have accepted the presi-
dency of the new social science college
at Boston, which was founded by the
recent conference of reformers at Buff
falo. This will take him from the state.
Boston, July 1.-THE presidency of
the new social science college which is
about to be esta blished and which was
one of the most important outgroWths
of the Buffalo conference was by unan-
imous vote offered to Edwin D. Mead,
of this city. On account of his being
unable to give the time to the duties,
Mr.. Mead declined the office. It is now
understood that Thomas E. VIII, late
president of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college, has accepted the presi-
dency..
Mr.. Mead said that he had not under
stood that it was proposed to make
Boston the headquarters of the move
ment, the drift of sentiment at the con-
ference being in favor of New York.

Customs Receipts Needed for Public
Work in That City.

Santiago, Jan. THE explanation Of
the war department Of its intention re-
garding the transfer of customs receipts
from the different ports in Cuba to Havana
is met here by statements by Cubans that
the plan is similar to the one adopted by
the Spaniards when acquisitions on Hava-
ma obtained less than 90 per cent Of what
the requisition called for.
Merchants, business men and influential
people here say Havana has grown rich
and prosperous at the expense of the rest
of the island, and Cubans and government
officials at Santiago say the Cubans Of
Havana are responsible for General
Brooke's order on this subject.
General Wood and DR.. Castillo left for
New York today, en- route to Washington
to see the president on the subject. AL
though the situation is critical, it is doubt
full whether any overt act will be com
mitted, unless the populace is aroused by
further irritating orders from Havana.

MEXICAN TREATY EXPIRES.
The Instrument Has Been In Exist
ence Since 1861.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The present ex-
tradition treaty between the United States
and Mexico, which has been in existence
since 1861, expired today, and until the
two governments have reached an agree
ment regarding a new treaty, which may
not be for some time to come, the situa-
ton as regards fugitives from justice and
their extradition will be somewhat unique
for these progressive times, when the Unit
ed States has treaty relations for the ex-
tradition of offenders with almost every
civilized country on the globe.
The lapse with Mexico, however, will
not afford any advantages to fugitive
criminals that they have not heretofore
enjoyed. The two governments are now
engaged in preparing new treaty.
