BOUNDARY LINE DISPUTE.
American Inspectors Arrested by Can

SKAGWAY, Feb. 4, via Victoria, B. c..
Feb 9.-Two United States customs house
officers, p. Fl. Hoyt and Hector MacLean.
while conveying liquors from here to Log
Cabin. were arrested at Log Cabin last
Monday, charged with crossing into British
Columbia while serving in an official ca
pacity. The two men were held prisoners
for twenty-four hours and brought before
Captain Cartwright, acting magistrate,
who, after telling them that it was viola
ton of the British Columbian law for Amer
lean officials to convey goods through Log
Cabin, and that the boundary line was at
the summit and not at Log Cabin. released
them Captain Cartwright further threat
ened TO arrest every American officer COM
ing beyond the summit line while convey
ing liquors and, if necessary, would place
an offlcer at the summit TO stop them. 1t is
reported that the Canadian officials decided
70 order the American officials now sta
TONED at Log Cabin to move across the
summit line. This viii greatly cripple the
collection OF American customs duties Dep
uty collector of customs, G. l. Andrews
OF Skagway, has written Peele deputy col
rector OF canadian customs. that he would
hereafter hold all liquors until the official
boundary was settled. He also sent 70

the matter.

House Members Figuring.

The passage of the bill to erect a hospital
for incurabe insane at Columbus by the
Senate yesterday Immediately caused much
figuring by the members of the House and
by Mr.. Shideler in particular. He is OPP
posed to the bill and said: They asked for
an appropriation of $4,000 and claim that
with that they will erect a hospital for 700
patients 1t costs $500 bed to build equip
and administer a hospital. To build one of
that capacity will cost $3.50 600, and for the
State to appropriate $120000 now merely
to appropriate the difference. Such propo-
sition as to erect a 70v-patlent hospital Tor
$4,000 is ridiculous on the face of it. The
ways and means committee has decided to
provide for the erection of special buildings
for the care of the incurable at the North
ern and Eastern hospitals, and each Quilting
will cost $500. In each there will be ac-
commodations for sixty-eight patients. Even
there the cost of administration, of heat
ing and all other things which will be al
ready provided and which will be deducted
from the total cost of such buildings will
leave the cost of the buildings about 1868 q
bed. That is the cheapest they can be prop
erly built for, and on that basis where heat
administration and all such items are pro-
vided the cost of a ROBBED hospital would
be $257. 500. 1t is nonsense to appropriate
$l2OGG0 for a building of that capacity, and
l think the provisions by the ways and
means committee will meet with general APP
prevail

RIVER STEAMER SUNK.
Passengers and Crew, Numbering Six
~ People, Saved by Means of Sl&iffs.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 9.-The steamer
p. d. Stages, Captain Douglass Jones, was
badly wrecked at the bridge over the Ten
nessee river at Johnsonville, Tenn, last
midnight. In attempting to go under the

600. Several chung to the pier of the bridge
and were saved. After getting free from the
bridge the steamer drifted four miles down
the river and sunk.
There were sixty people on board, but all
were saved. Before the steamer sunk Cap
tain Jones placed his wife, two men of the
crew and two women in the skiff and landed
them on z raft tied to the left bank of the
river. The skim was Immediately sent back
to the boat and passengers and crew res
cued Fog and drifting snow added to the
misery caused by the intense cold The
night was spent the raft where there
was plenty of fuel and good fires were kept
burning. Skifts sent from JohnsonVille this
morning to render assistance brought the
party to that place at O'Clock this after
noon. Most of them took passage on the
steamer Clyde, which passed down at 4
D. m. for Paducah. The rescued report no
it is not believed anyone was drowned. The

THREE GREAT PATRIOTS
CLEVELAND, BRYAN AND CARNEGIE
POSING TOGETHER.
Latter Says We Are Ridiculous, ''vvith
Our War Lord at Our Head" and No
Big Navy and Army to Back Him.

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 9.-The Semi
weekly Journal, an agricultural paper run
in connection with the Atlanta Journal and
the latest venture of Hol1e Smith, in his eff
forts to improve the condition of the South
ern farmer, will, in to-morrow's issue, pub
lish views on Philippine questions from ex-
President Cleveland, Hon. w. J. Bryan and
Andrew Carnegie. The letters of Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr. Carnegie were written before
the ratification of the treaty by the Senate
The telegram from Mr.. Bryan was received
to-day.
Mr.. Cleveland says: IF there is anything
that can array the attention or challenge
the thought of our people in their mad rush
toward yawning disaster, it is more likely
to be the earnest, well-informed and patri-
otto warnings of the decent press than any
thing else
Mr.. Bryan's telegram reads: 1.-The battle
of Manila does not affect a settlement Of the
Philippine question. Whether this Nation
will adopt a colonial policy does not depend
on anything the Finpinos have done or can
do, but on the wishes of our own people.
l have confidence that the American people,
when they have a chance to speak, will re-
iect imperialism and militarism, and remain
true to the doctrine of self-government.'
In expressing his views, Mr.. Carnegie
says: If the public men of the United
States could obtain an insight into the
workings of the dependencies mot the colo
nies) of Great Britain the case against ex-
pansiOn would be closed. The influence of
superior race on an inferior race in the
tropics is demoralizng and never elevatlng.
There is no basis for the claim that Ameri
can troops in the Philippines can be of serv-
ice as missionaries; on the contrary troops
as Il rule, require missionaries themselves
more than the FiiipinOs. There is no basis
for the claim that the United States will in
crease it's commerce by the possession of
unhealthy chimes. The President has given
the trade away to the nations nearer to il
than we. The open door policy to the for
eigner means the closed door to the Amer
lean. There is no basis for the claim that We
are an imperial world power or can become
such. until we change our habits. The Re
public is an industrial hive without army
and without navy. in comparison with the
armies and naVies of imperial powers We
are only making ourselves ridiculous with
our war lord at our head. and only three
battle ships and fifty thousand troops al his
back. Imperialism is the craze of the hour
The Americanism, such the South now
stands for, is for all time. / congratulate
the South on its adherence to the principles
Of Washington and Jefferson, which are
bound to prevail.

ment of a commission to devise some equit-

officers, to be reported to the next General
Assembly. The general disposition is not
to take action on this question at this ses-
sion, but TO wait for two years and see if
general system cannot be devised

That the label on the bottle was an old

That the poison mixed with the bromo-

That the poison, definitely, IS cyanide or
mercury.
That on Dec. Il. the day the bottle holder

the suspect or of some one else to whom
they might justly turn their suspicious.
That a man bought false red beard in
Newark shortly before Christmas, but that
the wigmaker's description of him fails in
important details TO fit the suspect.
That the cyanide Of mercury, very rarely
by one with fair knowledge of chemistry.
That cyanide of mercury, which killed
Mrs. Adams, was mixed with the Kutnow
powder sent to Henry C.. Barnet, thereby
absolutely proving that the same person
sent the poison to Cornish and Barnet.
That both Fischer and Zimmerman, the
declare he was not the man who bought a
false red beard.
That Miss Addie Bates, carefully trained
nurse. had told a physician that two at
tempts were made to poison Barnet.
Several weeks ago the police discovered
that the poisoner Matched the plot last May
and proceeded with a elaboration that
lasted through seven months to put it into
execution. 1t proved, too. that the poisoner
assumed the names of his intended victims.
The police discovered that a man who
called himself H. C. Barnet rented a let
ter box at PSI West Forty-second street
New York, on May 81 1898.
On June /, 1898, the Won Mohl Company,
