canada,s Final proposItion

London, Oct. 24.-By Associated
Press .)-The Associated Press is en-
abled to give authoritatively Canada's
final proposition for 4 permanent set
tlement of the Alaskan difficulty. It is
very different from former demands.
1t follows: That the boundary line
shall be arbitrated upon terms similar
to those imposed by the United States
and Great Britain over Venezuela, par
ticularly the provisions making fifty
years occupancy by either side con
elusive evidence of title, occupancy of
less than that period to be taken as
equity allows under international law.
That, as a condition precedent to, and
absolutely preliminary to arbitration.
Skaguay and Dyea will be ceded to the
United States, without further claim
liz Canada received Pyramid harbor. In
other words, Canada gives up much of
the disputed gold country in return for
= seaport, but stipulates she must get
the latter before she agrees to arbitrare
| the boundary line.
The Associated Press is reliably in
formed that Canada's new position is
greatly influenced by imperial pressure.
1t can be started positively that Cham
berlain has adyised concession as much
as possible in order to gain port en-
| try free from United States control,
with the professed reason of CONNER
cial advantages, but it is said With
the ulterior motive of increasing the
British naval strength by making Py-
ramid harbor a strongly fortified naval
station.

STRANGE GROWTH.
Warm Weather Brings Bloom TO Iowa
Fruit Trees.

d ls .
Des Moines, Oct. 25.-The warm
weather of the past few weeks has
Arought on remarkable growth in
some of the orchards of the state. On
the Beauchamp fruit farm near Car
Isle, Warren county, three cherry
trees, one peach and two apple threes
have put forth new bloom,
and She cherry trees have good
sized new cherries ION them.
Before the frost of few weeks ago
the trees looked as they usually do
after the fruit season. When the frost
came the leaves commenced to fall.
Then the sun came out and the days
began to warm up, and with them
came the new growth. Only few
weeks ago these trees We're laden with
bloom. Then the cherry trees put forth
a new growth six inches in length and
soon cherries began to form. The hor-
ticulturist, who reported this to the
News and brought with him cluster
of the cherry buds, says the new
bloom is due entirely to the unusually
warm weather of this fall. Twenty
one or two years ago a similar growth
appeared in the same orchard during
the warm fall weather, and several
early aple trees bloomed and put forth
small apples. The Beauchamp farm
is located on what is known as the
Scotch Ridge, a strip of ground lying
between North and Middle rivers, in
Warren county.

DIES molNEs' DARK MYSTERY.
No Light on the Strange Death of Miss
Mabel SchOfield.

Des Moines, Oct. 26.-The death of
Mabef Schofield, the beautiful young
woman whose body was found in the
Des Moines river Sunday evening, is
becoming remarkably complicated
case. Every body concerned, police, de-
tectives, reporters and relatives, have
discarded the suicide theory, and it is
now conceded that she was murdered.
The girl went with her mother Satur-
day morning at Z o'clock, when the
latter was leaving the city. From that
time she has been unaccounted for till
her body was found. Today DIR. NJ.
w. Garritty informed the police that
he saw her at s o'clock Saturday even-
ing with two young men on a down
town street. She talked with them ten
minutes and he would recognize the
men. He positively identities the re-
mains as those of the girl on the
street.
Miss Schofeld's brother was, stu
dent at Highland Park college, in the
north part of the city, and most of her
acquaintances We're there. The police
have done everything possible to Sc
cure clews there and elsewhere. but
have failed. Meantime all the experts
are positive the girl was not drowned.
She bore an excellent reputation and
the mystery seems utterly beyond so.
