NEGOTIATIONS MAY FAIL.
Sew Canadian Demands Jeopardiz,
Alaskan MOtlus,

Alaskan NIodus.
Washington, June 29.-Thc negotia-
tions for modus vivendi regulating
The Alaskan boundary have fallen into
state that jeopardizes q successful
outcome and causes grave apprehen-
sion among officials. The last phase of
the case was that the Canadians had
come back with a counter proposal, in
place Of accepting the definitive propo-
sition which had been carefully drawn
with the sole purpose Of preventing
any future controversy over the points
already agreed upon between Ghoate
and Lord Salisbury. Instead of fol-
lowing the lines of the American re-
port and combining the counter pro-
posal to plain statiinent of the points
already roughly ilskeated as marking
the boundary, this last issue proposed
n radical change in the line on the Dali
ton trail, and was of a character,
wholly unacceptable to the American
side, Involving as it did, the transfer
into Canadian Jurisdiction of the for
tunes and claims of many American
miners. Unless there is a decided
abatement on one side or the other.
the desired modus will be as unlikely
of attainment as was the permanent
agreement on the boundary question,
and the chances for reassembling of
the joint high commission will fade
away entirely.

A Boys Long Trip Awheel.


Denver Republican,: Leslie Basset,
10 years old, is wheeling across the
many miles of prairie between Colo
rada and the Missouri river. His des-
tination is Bridgewater, village in
the eastern part of Iowa. The idea of
making this jaunt across three states
struck the boy last winter. Attempts
to persuade him to abandon the trip
were useless. The boy wears bicy-
Gle suit, carries no baggage and only
little money. He is an accomplished
amateur entertainer, and relies on his
ability in this line to win the shekles
of the Kansans and obtain accommo-
dations en- route. Master Basset uses
the wires daily in communicating
with his mother. He telegraphed Sat-
nrday that he had been stopped by a
food at River Bend, Kan. He said he
,yas having glorious time, that he
made great hit wherever he had APP
peared, and that everybody wanted
aim to stop as he came back. He had
lived economically, he wired. His ex-
penses up to date, he said, were 10
rents for tooth brush and 10 cents
for oil for his wheel. If good roads IA
vor the juvenile tourist he is expected
to reach his destination by July Is.
After month with his relatives Mas
ter Rasset will start home.

PACKING HOUSE STRIKE.
Unskilled Laborers in Armour,
Chicago House Quit Work.

Unskilled Laborers In Armour's
Chicago House Quit Work.
Chicago, June 2s.-Despite the &C
ton of the packing firms in granting
pm increase of 25 cents day to un-
skilled laborers, the difficulties threat
sned by the recent strike are still inn
minent. Armour & Co.'S killing room
was deserted yesterday, 700 employees
walking out. Many Of the firms re-
fused to buy hogs. Swift & Co., Nelson
Morris & Co. and Upton & Co. did not
buy, and as result most of the skilled
laborers were idle.
Representatives of four large firms
field conference in order to devise q
plan of settlement. No agreement
could be reached, however, and the
conference broke up, leaving the situa-
ton unchanged.
Nelson Morris & Co., 1t is said, were
willing to stand by Swift & Co., but
owing to the adverse opinion of the
other packers the matter was left uu-
settled. The packers are decrying the
strike. They say that there are only
500 or 900 men out and that they will
be back at work in few days.

Des Moines, Ia, June 2S.-About two
weeks ago the Commercial exchange
of this city, desiring to secure the CO.
operation of all the local influences In
a united effort to secure the location of
military post adjacent to Des
Moines, addressed communication
on the subject to the Trades and La
Dor assembly, representing organized
labor, and asked Endorsement of the
proposition to have post located
here.
The subject was presented to tho
Trades and Labor assembly at a meet
ing at which nearly every trades
union in the city was we'll represented,
and an answer formulated and pre-.
scented to the Commercial exchange.
BY a decided majority the assembly
adopted protest against the cstab-
lishment of the army post here. In
opposition to the post the labor assem-
bly, sets forth that there is no need OF
such an establishment in Des Moines.
Half century ago post was abol-
ished here because the frontier had
moved farther west. IL Is not STRAIT
egic point in case of foreign invasion.
The moral influence would be unfor-
tunate. The only possible good of
keeping 1000 soldiers here would be to
make that many consumers, but the
public wonld pay for all they cons
sumed without getting anything use
full in return.
Moreover, the assembly protests
against the policy of large army dis-
tribnted at the centers of population
as calculated to interfere with civil lib-
critics and to promote despotic en-
forcement of federal authority.
Will Build Labor Temple.
Plans for the Des Moines Labor
temple have been about completed!
The work OF raising the funds for the
erection of the building is progressing
very satisfactorily.
The plans as now drafted call for q
brick building so by 1872 feet in size. 1t
will have a high basement and two
stories. The building will be occupied
mainly by the Trades and Labor as
sembly and the various labor unions Of
the city. Negotiations are also pend
ing for the occupancy of quarters in
the building by the Brotherhood of Iloa
connective Engineers and several civic
lodges. 1t is also probable that other
railroad organizations will have quar-,
ters in the building and it is possible
that some of the strong lodges OF the
city will assist in the erection of the
temple. The cost will be about Ss,444

Breaks the Deadlock.
Louisville, KY, June GOWN. Goe-
bel, who with an iron grasp has ruled
the democratic state convention since
1t assembled nearly u week ago, was
last night nominated for governor on
the twentysixth ballot, after contest
unparalleled in this state for bitter
ness and determination, or on the part
of the winner. for skillful manipula-
ton. The end of the long, exhauting
fight, brought reasonable degree of
harmony to the factions which have
been waging the fight relentlessly and
battled for every inch of ground.
Nearly everybody joined heartily in
4 demonstration when their candidate
appeared for the first time before the
convention to accept the nomination
and return his thanks. The Goebel
forces held the opposition closely
down to business all day, forcing con-
tinuous balloting, defeating them when
they showed signs of weakness and
sought sine die adjournment, appeal
ing for vote on proposition to drop

o'clock last night with colors flying.
stone was dropped on the twenty-sixth
ballot and Hardin proved unable to
get enough of the Stone votes to win,
Ihe scenes during the last ballot were
dramatic, though not so exciting as
many of them which the delegates had
participated in.
After the nomination the convention
enjoyed few minutes of relaxation
and reconciliation, Speeches were
made by Congressman Wheeler, Judge
rarvin and other managers for the
three candidates, who held the theme
gas for all "to get together and win"
On the last ballot Goebel had 500 and
Hardin 531 votes.
