A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
While Miss Eugenia, eldest daupl,.
ter OF MI. and Mrs. Fl. c. Walker, was
engaged in milking a pet Jersey cow,
was attacked and badly gored by an
other COW which was in the yard, also
the property Of Mr.. Walker. The
cows horn passing entirely through
the fleshy part of the right leg be-
tween the knee and hip, compelled
the taking OF seventeen stitches. The
plucky young lady endured the opera
tlon without flinching, positively re-
fusing anetics. DR.. J.. Fl. Bicker-
stall, who attended her, hopes to have
his patient around in a few days, as
the cows horn did NOT disturb any of
the muscles or ligaments.

A SON KILLS HIS FATHER.

We learn with regret of the killing of
Mr.. Sampson w. Finch last Friday night
in the northern portion of this county,
where he and his two sons were attend
ing u dance. The deceased attempted to
chastise his son Alfred, aged q years,
with a fence rail, and being under the
influence of liquor his son tried to avoid
a difficulty, but his father persisted in
using the fence rail, when Alfred fired
one shot from his pistol, hoping it would
scare the old mar off. But it did not.
Then Alfred fired the next shot with
fatal effect. The ball lodged near the
heart and the old man fell dead. At last
accounts no arrest had been made. The
deceased leaves u wife and several chill
dren.

QUESTION OF BOUNDARY
1t Appears to Be an Insur-
mountable Obstacle.
THE DEMANDS OF CANADA
An Impossible Contention Which Has
Blocked the Game Wants
Pyramid Harbor and Land
on Lynn Canal

Washington. May 27.-To clear up
misunderstanding which appear to ex-
lst, both in London and to some degree
IN this country as to the exact status
OF the negotiations between the United
states and Great Britain respecting.
Canadian American issues the follow
ing statements Of the events that led
up TO the present conditions were Sc
cured from the best authorities:
When the commission adjourned
some months ago, it was because it
mad reached an apparently insurmount-
able obstacle in the shape of the Alas
kan boundary question. After the ad-
loufnment, the two governments took
up TINS particular question with a view
to settling it and thus removing it
from the path of the many other i'm
portant issues involved There were
numerous delays, owing to the need of
exchanging views between London.
Washington and Ottawa. and the au-
thorltles here became convinced that
an adjustment was hopeless But the
feeling in London was more hopeful,
and when Sir Julian Pauncefote
reached London on his way to The
Hague. he held conferences with Lord
Salisbury which resulted in definite
proposal for settling the boundary is
sue and removing it as an obstacle of
the commission. The main point of
this proposal was that separate tri-
bunal of arbitration should pass on the
boundary question. 1t was cOmmuni-
Gated to Ambassador Choate and by
him to the state department.
When the plan was received the presi-
dent was absent at Hot Springs. Va,

return before giving a final answer
There was little or no doubt that the
answer would have been favorable
Just as the acceptance was about to
have been given. the officials here were
surprised to have presented what they
regarded as an extraordinary condition
which Canada imposed in connection
with the submission of the question to
arbitra ton, This condition was that
Canada should have Pyramid Harbor
and strip of territory on the Lynn
canal without reference to the general
conclusions reached by the tribunal of
arbitration. This port and strip of ter
ritory on the coast would have carried
also the back country leading to the in
terror. This condition, coming after the
arbitration plan had been formally
proposed and was about to be accept
ed. caused not only surprise, but some
Indignation among the officials here. 1t
was decided not to accept this condition
and a peremptory refusal was given to
the proposition. Thus the matter
stands. There is every reason to be-
lieve that there will be no yielding of
the officials here to Canadas Conten-
ton. If it is withdrawn the arbitration
may yet be arranged as a means of
settling the boundary dispute. The
opinion in the highest quarters seems
to be positive that without some ad-
justment of the boundary matter. the
resumption of the work Of the Joint
commission is entirely improbable

Castelar's Obsequies Lead to a Quarrel
With the Governments.

protesting against thu Wnriinr of the
decree ordering that the expenses of
the obsequies be borne by the public,
as the preamble seemed to indicate that
the only merit of the deceased was that
he died poor. They also disputed the
right of Premier Silvela to act as chief
mourner and declared that they would
not accept the offer of the government
to defray the funeral expenses. Senior
Silvela replied that the council of sta te
would consider the matter, but could
not alter the wording of the decree
The body was taken to the chamber
of deputies, followed by Premier Silve-
la and many generals, including Gen
eral Weyler, all in plain clothes. The
Wreaths and other floral offerings filled
three carriages. An enormous crowd
followed the remains from the station
to the chamber
General Weyler blames the governor
for not paying military honors to the
dead statesman, saying that none had
done more for the army than Senator
CASTELAR,. General Polavleja, minister
of war; has sent a circular inviting the
general to attend the obsequies attirad
in plain clothes. To this General Cam
