AMERICAN SIDE of 1T.
Why the United States Refuses to
Arbitrate the Alaska DfsDutc.

Arbitrate the Alaska Dispute.
WASHINGTON, July 24-Inasmuch as
the Canadian officials have laid stress
upon the refusal of the United States
10 accept arbitration Of the pending
questions 1t may be proper to explain
the reason for refusal as pointed out bv
an official here today He said: TN The
first place this government, 1t is con-
tended, is absolutely certain of the
soundness of its claim in the matter of
the boundary. That would seem to be
a good reason for submitting the matter
to arbitration on the ground that a good
cause had nothing to fear from fair ar.
bltrators, but our government holds that
arbltrators are almost all subject to the
fatal weakness of compromising. In our
case any compromise would amount to
the loss of our whole contention, for
once Canada is admitted to the Lynn
canal we would be deprived of the onIy
weapon which we now possess for the
protection Of our miners going into the
kondike from extortion, and, perhaps.
expulsion. 1t was for this reason that
Secretary Hay rejected the Canadian
proposal to arbitrate, attended by the
condition that in any case Pyramid har.
Dor should be bestowed upon Canada.
Then, too, it is realized that an agree
ment to arbitrate might be extremely
unpopular in the West, so that the Of
ficials will be glad to adjust the matter
without resort to arbitration, if posi-
able"

INDIANS ARE UGLY.
Nez Perces Again Threaten Northern
Pacific Grade Workers.


BOISE, Idaho, July A-Word from
Lewiston over the telephone is to the ef-
feet that while the Indians on the Nez
Perces reservation have outwardly sub
mitted to the agreement OF their chiefs
to permit work On the Northern Pacific
grade throughout the reservation to pro-
ceed, the young bucks continue to mani
fest an ugly spirit, which is brutalized by
liquor furnished by white men. They
threaten to sweep down on the graders
again as they did a few days ago, this
time not to scare them off. but to muir
der. There are no soldiers there and the
workingmen have little protection.
Deputy marshals at the scene report
that trouble of q serious nature seems
unavoidable unless liquor can be kept
away from the young bucks or a military
force is stationed to protect the grad
ers. Large quantities of liquor have been
confscated, but there seems to be no
end to the resourcefulness of thirsty saw
ages.

PytiIian Principles.

Be it ordained by the Supreme
Lodge Knights of Pythias, That
in order that all may know the
origin, principals and aims of the
order, the following shall constitute
the declaration of principles
Pythian knighthood had its con
lception in the exemplification of
the life test of true friendship ex-
isting between Damon and Pythias.
Friendship of mutual confidence
being the strongest bond of union
between man and man, and only
existing where honor has an abid-
ing place, is adopted as found
alton principle.
As the ideal knight of olden time
was the personification of all the
higher and nobler attributes of
mans nature, the candidate for
knignthood had to prove himself
worthy of acceptance by those who
valued friendship, bravery, honor,
justice and loyalty.
The order Knights of Pythias-
founded in friendship, Charity and
Benevolence, which it proclaims
as its cardinal principles strives
to gather into one mighty frater-
nifty worthy men who appreciate
the true meaning of friendship;
who are cautious in word and act;
who love truth. who are brave in
defending right: whose honor is
untarnished; whose sense of Justice
will prevent the best of their abil-
ity, personal act or word iniur-
ious to the worthy; whose loyalty
to principal, to family, to friends,
to their country, and to their con-
stituted authority under which they
enjoy citizenship, is undoubted,
and who at all times are prepared
to do unto others as they would
that others should do unto them.
