An Improbable Bone,

Last summer friend presented us with
tortoise. I do not know whether our
dog had heard of turtle soup or whether
he regarded the creature as new kind OF
bone that walked about; at any rate, he
determined to cat it.
Whenever the tortoise started out on a
constitutional down the garden path Gyp
arrested it and carried it into his kennel,
where he gnawed at the impenetrablo
armor till his jaws ached
The calm and philosophical manner in
which tho tortoise resumed its interrupted
promenade irritated tho dog exceedingly,
but no failure discouraged him. When
ever we reminded him of the tortoise, no
would go in search Of it all round the gar.
den, peering into every crevice, till even
tually the creature was found, and then
fresh but futile attempts were made to ex-
tract the meaty portions from the SHE'LL
Youths Companion.

DICTATOR AGUlNALDO. )
May Have Assumed Supreme Pow

May Have Assumed Supreme Power
in Order to Secure Peace.
London, June Especial dispatches
from Manila say it Is reported there
that Aguinaldo has dissolved the Fill
Pine congress and has proclaimed him
self dictator.
Washington, June 9.--Officials here
are in doubt as to whether Aguinaldo,
in declaring his dictatorship, is ami
mated by desire to rid himself of his
refractory generals, Pillar and Luna, or
whether he aims to consolidate In his
own hands the power to make terms Of
peace. 1t is known from the reports OF
President Schurman, of the American
Philippine commission, that these tive
generals own only faint allegiance to
Aguinaldo, and their attitude towards
the peace negotiations has made these
negotiations Intellectual, the civilian
members on the Filipino side Of the
joint commission being completely
overawed and dominated by the mill
tary element controlled by these gen.
erals. It is believed here that If Aguin-
aldo can bend these men to his will,
and assume supreme control, he will
at once make for peace, being able to
secure better terms for himself than he
would otherwise.
Three sailing vessels and one steam
er reported to have been captured by
the United States gunboat Albany off
the Island Of Negroes, Philippine ISL
ends, are supposed by naval officers
here to be blockade runners carrying
supplies Of food and ammunition to
the islanders, who are threatening to
rise In the interior.

THE BOUNDARY ISSUE,
Our Controversy With Canada MAY
Be Temporarily Settled Today,

Our Controversy with Canada May
Be Temporarily Settled Today.
Washington, June 9.-When the
state department closed yesterday it
was with the expectation on the part
of the officials that the modus vivendi
which has been under negotiation in
London would be completed and sign
ed today. The signature probably will
take place In London as between Am
bassador Choate and Lord Salisbury.
Assuming that the agreement is on
the exact lines Of the instructions sent,
the Inodus will Ak the provisional
boundary line between Alaska and
Canada at three points near the head
OF the Lynn canal. These will be sur
fcient, as is expected, to prevent any
further conflicts. These points are
az follows: On the White Pass, at
the old Canadian custom house In the
Pass; on the Chilkoot Pass, likewise
at the Canadian custom house, which
has existed for the past IS months; on
the Dalton trail, Just above the Indian
village of Kluckwan.
The first two points were easily
fixed. The hitch of moment has been
over the location of the divisional
point on the Da lton trail. The point
named is at the head of canoe naviga-
ton, and is miles above tidewater,
which the Canadians sought SO strenu-
ously to reach. The modus provides
only for temporary delimitation, but
there Is good reason to believe that the
lines it will establish in the end will
be accepted by both parties as the best
possible solution of the vexed bound
arY issue

Our men and officers were as brave as any

they all had the ague and longed for sick

two days before that battle, and if there is

"We'd been waiting in battle line for an
hour, and the boys had grown white and
were all choked up. I had been entirely

The Abyssinian soldiers ordinary dress

said, of white linen shirt down to his
knees and pair of light linen trousers to
half way down his calf Over this he wears
a belt of folded linen, and, as a rule, a
STAMINA" or white cotton sheet, draped
round him. Cloaks of blue, red, green,
yellow or violet ornamented with rough
embroidery, leopard skins, sheepskins and
even lion skins are worn on special occa-
sions by the officers and small Chiefs and
the army then presents noble show.
Any man who has killed lion or an
elephant or has distinguished himself
much in battle wears an aureole or lions

A BRITISH ULT1MATUN
Will Probably Be Chamberlain's
Answer to the Transvaal.
WAR TALK OF THE NEWSPAPERS.

The Failure OF the Conference Be-
tween President Kruger and Sir AL
fred Miner Is Considered to Have
Exhausted DIpiomacy's Resources.
London, June 9.-The morning pa
pers are beginning to talk quite seri-
pusly of the possibility of war in South
Africs. Mr.. Chamberlain, secretary of
state for the colonies, in his speech in
the house of commons Wednesday,
announced that his reply to the petit
ton of the Uitlanders, which had been
held back pending the result of the
conference at Bloemfontein, would now
be presented to the Transvaal. This
reply is semi-ofiicially described az
explicit, but conciliatory," but 1t is
believed to be In the nature OF q prac-
teal ultimatum.
The resources Of Diplomacy are re-
garded as exhausted with the failure of
the conference. Nothing is left, 1t Is
felt, but recourse to force.
The Daily Mail says 1t learns that
1t was President Kruger himself who
suggested the conference; and 1t claims
to have reliable authority for declar-
Ing that Sir Alfred Miner, the British
high commissioner, has his back to the
wall, and 1t 10 supported to the utmost
by the cabinet.
Commenting sditorially on the SIT
uation, the Daily Mail says: "If we
know our Kruger Alright, he will back
down; and II not, why"
The Daily Chronicle deprecates Mr..
Chamberlain's warliks attitude, but
does not deny the gravity Of the situs-
ton and seriously counsels the Beers
to grant reforms "as the only means
of preserving their independence
against the plets of the stock exchange
and the violence Of Downing street."
The Standard. which reminds the
Transvaal that its independence is not
absolute, but is contingent on faith
full execution of the agreement stipu-
isting equal rights for all white inhabi-
tants, says:
I'VE now demand that all English
men resident in the Transvaal shall
be treated with justice; and President
Kruger may rest assured that the whole
country will support the government
in any measures required to make this
demand effective"
The Times says: LET Mr.. Kruger
grant the Outlanders full citizenship,
and the whole question is ended At
present he only offers note of hand
for a ridiculous sum, payable many
years hence, in return for our imme-
diats abandonment of all the legal
rights we now possess for enforcing
the payment Of debts long overdue"
The Capetown correspondent of the
Times says: AT the close of the con-
ference Mr.. Kruger declared that he |
was pleased at the friendly way in
which matters had been discussed, and
hoped they would understand each
other better in future"

How d bunch Of roses sold couple Of
high priced railroad tickets is the basis OF
queer little comedy Of errors enacted tho
other day at leading city hotel. Among
the guests Of the house was q wealthy
Texas merchant who was en- route with
his wife for visit to New England. The
Texan has local business representative
here in the person of hustling young
man about town, who was especially anx-
ious to make the stay of his principal as
pleasant as possible. Accordingly he
rushed to fiorist's as soon as he saw the
names On the register and ordered him to
put up the handsomest bunch Of roses he
had in the shop and send them over to
Mrs. Blank at such and such q hotel. In
his hurry he forgot to leave his card for

Intentionally, the florist proceeded to pre-
pare magnificent bouquet, which he dis

1t 30 happened at the moment the flow
ers arrived that city passenger solicitor
for one Of the north bound roads had just
handed over his card to be sent to the
Texas gentleman apartment, and quite
naturally the pasteboard and the roses
went up together The visitors were both
astonished and pleased. "This is certainly

claimed the merchant, examining the
flowers. "Why, these things must have

tive dropped around and was met by his
employer in the lobby. The greeting was
painfully matter Of fact, and not word
was said about the flowers. The young
man was greatly ohagrined and began to
believe he had made bad break. Next
day he accompanied the couple to the de-
pot, and incidentally something was said
about the route.
