NEAR A CRISIS.
American Ambassador Reaches
Limit Of Concession as
to Alaska.

Washington, ID. c., June 3O.-The ne
gotiations in London looking to the ar
rangement of Il modus vivendi fixing the
Alaskan boundary have again nearly
reached a crisis. The several conferences
that have taken place recently between
Lord Salisbury and Ambassador Choate
have been signally disappointing in re-
suits.
At moments it appeared that a basis
OF understanding having, as it was
thought, been reached, the details could
be easily arranged, but it now turns out
that these very details cannot be agreed
upon without the sacrifice of the inter-
ests of many American miners, mainly
those who were driven out of the Atlin
district by the severe and discriminating
laws enacted by the Legislature of Brit
ISL Columbia. and this the state depart
ment Is determined not to sanction.
The United States ambassador has
come to the end of the concessions he is
authorized to offer, and, therefore. the
prospect of q successful outcome of the
negotiations is rather depressing. Mean
while nothing is said on either side of a
reconyentlOn of the present high joint
commission at Quebec although the date
set for the meeting at the last adjourn
ment is rapidly approaching.

FOR A GENERAL STRIKE
Labor at the StoCkyards Preparing
for Complete Tie-up
bv Julv

Chicago, Ill, June 3O.-Labor is rapid
ly organizing at the stockyards in antici-
patton of a general strike July l. The
leaders of the dissatisfied employees
claim that they are finding no trouble in
uniting their forces. The labor organiza-
tons will be perfected whether general
strike els ordered or not, as the employees
of the big packing companies say that
heretofore some of their requests have
carried weight with the bosses because
stockyards labor lacked unity. The
packers are claiming that the present
difficulty is practically over and that
there will be no general strike in July.
The strikers who still refuse to return to
work say they have the sympathy of the
employed workmen and unless all their
demands are granted there will be a
complete tie-up in the packink district.

MAGNET USED IN SURGERY.
Novel Method of Performing Del
icate Operation on a Mans Eye.

New York, June 29.-The first practical
test has been made of Il powerful new
electromagnetic recently added to the
equipment Of the Manhattan Eye and
Ear hospital at Park avenue and Forty
first street. The instrument, which is
known as Il giant magnet. is so powerful
that it will hold $50 pounds of steel
clinging to it and will seize with a wise
like grip Il bunch OF keys thrown at it.
This first test was made when man
was brought into the hospital with Il
well-marked cut at one side of the eye
ball, made by silver of steel flying
from 4 rapidly-revolving lathe. The bit
of sharp steel had cut almost through
the entire eye into the posterior chamber
in the vitreous fluid. where no surgical
instrument could ever reach it without
destroying the eye.
DIR. Frank Parker, who performed the
operation, turned the electric power in
to the magnet, and then, with the pa
tient on All operating table, moved him
gradually toward the magnet AS the
eye came nearer and nearer the magnet,
attracting the bit of steel. drew the eye
far from the socket. The pain was al
most unbearable, but the mysterious
power of the magnet finally drew the
steel from the eye through the opening
it had made in going in. AS it left the
eye the bit of steel few like a flash to
the magnet and chung there, while the
eye returned to its natural position.

Columbus, O., June 29.-[Special. /
The days of Western league baseball in
Columbus are numbered and the number
is not very large. 1t is practically an
assured fact that the last game of West
ern league ball that this city will see will
be played here Sunday between the Co.
lumbus and Detroit teams. The attend

sltlon to the top Of the list by good, con-

Rock Island has made overtures to

possible that he may try that city for one
home series. In regard to the report
that the team would be taken to Cleve-

was National league territory and he
would not think of interfering with it.

Ieers We're to be mustered into the army

SiOnal caller has one or more applicants
whom he presses on the Presidents at
tention. AAe President requests all his
visitors to file their applications with
Adjt.-Gen. Corbin. At the same time he
makes it clear in general way that the
policy of the administra ton in granting
commissions will be to give preference to
volunteer officers who showed ability and
who performed valuable service in the
Spanish war. Some regular officers are
also to be given volunteer commissions.
