main.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-Hay has re-
of approval by the British foreign office
of his last proposition relative to the
Alaskan boundary modus vivendi. For
NAL confirmation of the arrangement
took place today.
Under this agreement the Canadians
are not allowed port on Lynn canal,
nor is permission given for free trans
fer of Canadian goods across American
territory, except miners outfits. The
whole valley OF the Porcupine river is
included within the American line. On
White and Chilkoot passes the line is
fixed at the summit, or watershed,
which for some time has been observed
by the customs authorities of both
countries.
Washington, Oct. 20.-1n view of the
dispatch from London announcing that
the British foreign Office has given au-
thority to Mr.. Tower, British charge
d affaires, to make the verbal change
in the modus vivendi on Alaska, it is
the expectation of the authorities here
that the negotiations Will be finally
closed this afternoon.
When Secretary Hay makes public
the details OF the agreement it will be
found that q continuous line has been
drawn around the headquarters of the
Lynn canal, as has been supposed. The
two governments have agreed that the
SUBMITS of the White and Chiikoot
passes shall be the boundary; that the
line northwest of Chilkat inlet shall
commence at mountain peak two and
a half miles north OF the Indian village
of ISluckwan, thence west by south to
the Tlehini or Klaheena river. along
that river until south OF the Chilkoot
south TO a nameless mountain peak. 1t
ing tide water and the nearest point Of
the line TO tide water is twenty-five
miles. Canadian authority is even
placed above canoe navigation.
Another advantage TO the United
States is that practically the entire
Porcupine district is placed under
American authority.
As a further guaranty of the protec-
ton of American miners in their rights
Secretary Hay has agreed TO a provis-
ion that citizens of either country in
the territory of the other shall be pro-
tected in the maintenance of all then
rights and privileges.

Grain letter.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-Under the influence
of heavy Argentine shipments and a
further decline in Liverpool, the mar
ket opened lower. Buying against daily
and weekly puts, which has character
lied the market so prominently of late,
was responsible for the feeble rallies
made during the session Weekly
clearances Will foot up 100000 and
suggest lighter worlds shipments and a
probable decrease afioat. The inherent
strength Of corn is somewhat of Il sus-
tanning influence. The latter has so
much merit that it imparts a bullish
feeling among some of the trade and in
this way wheat is being bought on its
easy spot by this class, arguing that
with n decline of 10 cents from the
high point of December during June
the chance of loss is reduced to a mini
mum. The general pit features are
bearish. The average trader has sold
himself nearly to a standstill and I'M

the national committeeman for the
state, upset all present plans in a letter
TO Mayor Rose in which he gave his
honor some valuable pointers as to
methods for securing the convention.
Mr.. Wall said that it would not be suf-
teient for the committee to secure a
guaranty fund. but il must have the
cash in the bank before it could get the
convention. In support of his statement
Mr.. Wall pointed out that Chicago. in

vention, had $4,000 in the bank which
it was promised would be turned over
TO the subcommittee of the national
committee as soon as Chicago was Sc

Strike uhrea1encd

St. Paul. MINI, Oct pa general
strike on the Great Northern has been
threatened for some time and it looks
now as If it will occur within a few
days 1t viii include conductors. engi-
neers, firemen, brakemen and switch
men, and the men expect to tie the
road up from end to end. In the great
strike of five years ago the conductors
held aloof, but they have been brought
into the present trouble by recent or
der requiring them to pay for bonds
covering damages to trains under their
charge. The list of grievances given by
the men is long one and they claim to
have been unable to secure satisfac-
ton from the management. Since last
March grievance committees have been
almost constantly in this city, trying to
reach some agreement with the railway
officials, but without result and it now
seems as If all chance for peaceable ad-
ljustment of the troubles had passed.

THE OLD FEDERAL BUILDING.

Mashinctnn.


Permission for IT'S Use as n Public school
Recommended by the House Committee at
Washington.
Washington, Feb. $. Tho House
committee on public buildings and
grounds has submitted the following
report on the bill to grant to the Mayor
and Council Of Wilmington the use OF
certain real estate in tho city, the old
Federal Building ut Sixth and King
streets.
1t appears from letter Of the Secre-
tary of tho Treasury, dated January
2lst, 1898, addressed to the chairman
of the Senate committee on public
buildings and grounds, that the prop
erty mentioned in this bill is practi-
cally vacated and not needed for the
transaction of the public business OF
the United States at Wilmington, Dell,
and probably will not be needed for
public purposes in the future. The
United States officials located at Will
mington are all accommodated in the
new Federal Building. This old build
ing, which was formerly used, is now
lying empty and idle, and is tho source
Of some expense to the government to
keep in repairs and to protect from en-
croachment.
Under the provisions of this bill, the
governments interests will all be pro
tected and the building will be usee
for purposes of public education. The
bill provides that the United State:
may at any time, upon 60 days notice
resume control and occupation Of thu
property. ~.
In view Of the fact that the huildins
is at present of no use to the govern
ment, the committee is of the opinion
that it will be suitable and proper u
permit its use for the purposes Q
public education, and recommend tn,
passage of tbs bill.

Commercial College, at Fourth and
West-streets, Monday week. Graef said
Mullin and another young man accosted
him and asked him for quarter and
when ho refused to give it to them they
started in to hold him up. Graef
knocked Mullin down two or three
times and went on his way. No evil
dence was adoluced to show that the
othor man, who, the police think, was
Daniel O'Hanlon, who was sent up. to
the Court of General Sessions yesterday
week ON the charge of larceny, had his
hands on Graef, although it was shown
that there was another man with
Mullin and his actions are construed
by the authorities to be technical as
sault.
Graef, in his testimony this morning,
said after he knocked Mullin down and
the latter arose to his feet he pulled a
screen from a window and threw 1T at
him tGraef), almost striking two
women. Mullin got decidedly the worst
of the encounter.
He pleaded hard to be given chance
