HORRIBLE PUNISHMENT.
new Member Of Captive Daesits Are
Jailed by the BritisA Omcials
In India.

For over year much trouble has
been caused in the Jhansi district Of
the northwest frontier Of India by Q
gang of dacoits, originally between 400
and 500 in number, who have been wag-
ing guerrilla warfare with the police
Of Gwalior and the adjacent British ter
ritory. In the frequent encounters
which took place the numbers of the
dacoits have been steadily thinned, un-
til a short time since they made q last
stand, when desperate hand-to-hand
fight took place between them and the

'1R REDvERs BULLER.

Butler has served in eight campaigns in
Asia and Africa, and won medals in six
of these, receiving honorable mention
in all. His experience in the Zulu war
will be of value. On the retreat of In
hooband he rescued two officers and
one private soldier whose horses had
given out, and who would have been
killed but for his assistance. During
the Boer war Of 1881 he was chief of
staff to Sir Evelyn Wood. Gen. Butler
is not popular with his men, for he is
martinez and unusually severe, but he
is recognized as one of the bravest and
ablest soldiers in Great Britain.

SIR REDvERs BUTLER.
Selected by the british War once to
Command the Forces on the
Transvaal Border.

The fact that Gen. Sir Redvcrs Butler
has left for South Africa is taken as evil
dence that the British believe war is
certain. Gen. Butler, in the estimation
of British military experts, is worthy
to rank with Kitchener, Wolseley and
Roberts. There is other work for each
of the better-known men, and so Butler
will have charge of the campaign. Gen.

ports named. 1t rests its claim upon its
Interpretation of certain clauses in the
-Anglo-Russian treaty of 1925, the United
States succeeding to all the rights of Rus
.sia when it assumed possession of Alas
ka in 1867. By that convention the
boundary between Alaska and British
America was fixed as either the noun
tains situated parallel with the coast"
COR 80 line parallel with the .windingsof
the coast, and which shall never exceed
the distance of ten marine leagues"
or about 80 miles. The chief point at
issue relates to the basis of measure
ment on the coast from which the "ten
marine leagues" are to be counted. Our
government has insisted that the sinu-
eosities or windings of the coast men
toned in the Anglo-Russian agreement
should form the starting point of meas
.urement. This would give us the strip
~of territory as it has always been repre-
sented on our maps of Alaska and the
absolute control of all the seaports and
ports of entry to the Yukon mining dis
-trict.
It lis the Canadian contention that the
starting point. or basis of measure
ment, should be q line drawn between
two headlands at the mouth of the
Lynn canal. This would give Canada
.one or more ports of entry on the canal
and reduce the whole area of our pos
sessions on this coast by several hun
-dred square miles. According to the
American measurement the village of
Klukwan, an Indian village on the Chill
kat inlet, would be in Alaskan territory
by about two miles, while the Canadi-
ans measurement would bring it with
in their territory. The ownership Of
valuable gold-mining district on Por-
.cupine creek is also affected by the line
,of measurement. Canada originally
claimed Taiya and Skaguay, but was
willing to abandon those claims if Pyr-
amid Harbor, at the head of Lynn canal,
were conceded to her.
A joint high commission, made up of
representatives from Canada, England
and the United States, was appointed
a year ago to settle several long-stand-
ing questions between us and Canada,
including the fur-seal and other fish
.eries, transportation across the bound
airy, mining rights, alien labor laws.
reciprocity in tariffs and extradition.
The commission was in the way of COM
ing to an agreement on all these mat
tiers when the boundary dispute came
up, and on this rock the negotiations
went to pieces. Arbitration was pro-
posed, but here again there was an ir-
reconcilable difference of opinion as
to who the arbitrators should be, and
that resource came to naught. In the
case of the United States, any compro-
mise would amount to the loss of its
whole contention, for once Canada is
admitted to the Lynn canal the United
States would be deprived of the only
weapon which it now possesses for the
protection of miners going into the
Klondike from extortion. and perhaps
expulsion. by Canada. 1t was for this
reason that Secretary Hay rejected the
Canadian proposal to arbitrate, at
tended by the condition that in any
case Pyramid Harbor should be be-
slowed upon Canada.

The frequent cases OF nervous prostra-
ton or utter collapse of the nervous
system under which women go all to
pieces" as the saying is. have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are we'll
known to cause various forms of nerv-
Gus diseases which are readily traced
to the poisons producing them. Furth-
or research leads to the belief that
alum is prevailing cause of so-called
nervous prostration. for the symptoms
it produces on the nervous system after
its absorption into the blood are very
remarkable indeed. Experiments phys
iologically made upon animals by
Orfla, Professors Hans Mayer, Paul
Seim and others, show that alum fie-
quently produces no visible symptoms
for many days after its introduction
into the body. Then follows loss Of
appetite and other alimentaiy disturb
ances. and finally serious prostration
of the whole nervous system. The
most prominent physicians now believe
that "nervous prostration" and many
affections of the nerves from which
both men and women suffer are caused
by the continued absorption of alum
into the system.
1t is probable that many medical
men are unaware of the extent to
which salts of alumina may be intro
duced into the body, being under the
impression that the use of alum in
bread is prohibited. Alum, however.
Is still used eptitiously to some ex-
tent to whiten bread. and very largely
in making cheap kinds OF baking pow
der. In families where baking powder
is generally used great care should be
exercised to procure only those brands
made from cream of tartar. The alum
powders may be distinguished by the
lower price at which they are sold.

NO COMBINATION LIKELY.
United States viii Not Join John Buil
In Coercion Of China.

New York, July IA special to
the Herald from Washington says;
While President Mckinley will take
all necessary steps for the protection
of Americans and their interests in
China, there is no likelihood that he
will join with Great Britain IN coerc.
ing the Pekin government to give ex-
traordinary concession to Americans
and British citizens. A high official
said regarding the mission of W. II.
Parsons, Of Washington, that the add
ministration had no intention OF COM
bining with Great Britain or any other
government in the interest of it's citi-
zens.
Naturally, the president stood ready.
he said, to afford all reasonable and
lawful protection to Americans in for
eign countries, and Mr.. Parsons would
undoubtedly receive this aussrance. 1t
has been the policy of the administra-
ton not to advocate any special Ameri-
can industry to the Chinese govein-
ment. Instructions sent to the Ameri-
tan minister in Pekin some time ago
said:
SIN the advancement OF American
enterprises in China and the efforts
made in behalf of the Chinese foreign
office, you should be cautious in giving
what might be understood as the gov
eInment's Endorsement of the financial
standing of the persons seeking con-
tracts with that of China. Briefly
speaking, you should employ all proper
methods for the extension of American
commercial interests IN China, while
RETAINING from advocating the projects
of any one firm to the exclusion of
others"
1t is therefore unlikely that the rail
road syndicate in which Mr.. Parsons
is interested will receive any more con.
sideration or protection than any other
American enterprise in the Celestial
empire.

the Amer lean flag the German flag.
Later friend of his wanted to use an
American flag, and Klemme good
naturally loaned him his, leaving the
German flag floating alone from the
flagstaff.
J. ii. West saw it and ordered
Klemme to haul it down. There has
been ill-will between the two men be-
fore, and Klemme refused to take or
ders from his enemy. West therefore
gathered a lot of soldiers from the
transport Sheridan and showed them
the German flag floating on the Fourth
of July in American territory. The
soldiers at once proceeded to the roof,
teIe down the German flag and lie.
stroyed it and put in its place some
red, white and blue bunting torn from
the other decorations of the building.
West today was fined 500 in the 10.
