A Proposition Made Looking to
The Settlement of the
Vexed Question.
A MucHLY MARRIED MAN
Otis Reports SkIrmlshes With
the Usual Number of
FiIIpInos Killed.

London, Oct. 24.-The Associated
Press is enabled to give, authoritative
ly; Canada's final proposition for the
permanent settlement OF the Alaskan
dispute which was delivered to AM
basSador Choate by the Canadian min
lister of marine and fisheries, Sir Louis
Henry Davis, late the night before the
latter sailed, and was dispatched to-
day to Washington by officials of the
United States embassy. 1t is as fol-
lows:
That the boundary line be arbitra-
ted upon terms similar to those i'm
posed by the United States and Great
Britain over Venezuela, particularly
those provisions making fifty years
occupancy by either side conclusive
evidence of title; occupancy for less
than that period to be taken as equity
allows under international law.
That as a condition, precede ut abso-
lutely preliminary to arbitration. Ska
quay and Dyea be conceded to the
United States without further claim if
Canada received Pyramid Hsrbor In
other words Canada gives up the dis
puted gold country in return for a sea-
port, but stipulates she must get the
latter before she agrees to arbitrate the
boundary line.

DepIores Dearly Bought VIC
tories" and Dreadful
Loss of Life"
WAR WILL BE PROLONGED
Report That France and Russia
VIII Object to British An
nexation of Two
Republics.

New York, Oct. PA dispatch to
the World from london. says: Minis
ters and their supporters are now re
alizing that they have plunged into
war with reckless haste. The queens
messages. in which she speaks OF
dearly bought victories" and. dread
full loss of life," indicate with plain
ness that she never before permitted
herself to indulge in, under like cir
cumstances, her disapproval of war.
The British forces in the Natal have
already lost nearly 500 men in three
days fighting. The Gordon Highland
ers lost only one officer and i've men
killed in the famous attack on Dargai
Heights in the Afridi campaign, while
at Elandslaagte they had four officers
killed, nine wounded, twenty men
killed and thirty-three wounded.
The Beers distinguish and shoo'
the officers by reason of their carry
ing no rifles, their uniform being the
same as that of the men. A squad
ron of Hussars and q section of
mounted infantry which pursued the
Beers after the first fight at Glencoe
.(last Friday are still missing. A
prolongation of the war beyond Bri-
tish expectations is now regarded as
certain.
Berlin, Oct. 24.-Telegrams from
Brussels announce that in Transyaal
legation circles it is stated that
France and Russia will not permit
the annexation of the Transvaal and
the Orange Free State to England.
London. Oct. 24.-News received
direct from Baden-Powell, dated
Mafeking, October 15, confirms the
statement that in the armored train
fight, the British had two men killed,
fifteen wounded, including Lieuten-
ant Lord Charles Bentineck. of the
ninth Lancers. The Boer loss was es-
.tsmated at fifty-three killed, many
wounded. Latest advices from Kim
berly, dated October 21, said large
Boer force in the neighborhood de-
stroyed big sections of the railroad
line north and south of the town
Many fugitives from neighboring vii
lagos who had been imprisoned by
the Beers have been released. The
released prisoners report that they
were well treated. According to run
ners who arrived at Kimberly from
Thurman, British Bechuanaland ma
tives promised to remain quiescent.
A dispatch from Pretoria indicates
that Rhodesians under Colonel Plum

border attacked the Boer patrol at
Rhodes Drift, but apparently not much
damage was done by either side. Bri-
tish military authorities hope to have
wireless telegraph in operation In
South Africa within three weeks.
London, Oct. 24.-Parliamentary
secretary of the war Office, George
Wyndham. in the house Of commons
today announced that Field Marshal
Lord Wolseley, sums up the situation
in Natal today as follows:
S-"General Yule has fallen back to
effect a junction with Sir George
Stewart White. He camped yester-
day evening about sixteen miles south
of Dundee without seeing anything of
the enemy during the march and 1t
had since been reported "all's well on
Waschbank River"
General White fought a successful
action with the Orange Free State
force today on the road between Lady
smith and Newcastle and should join
hands with General Yule this evening.
General Yule reports his wounded as
doing well. The Boer wounded on
our hands are treated just as our own.
have every reason to believe that
the Beers will treat any of ourwound-
ed in their hands in simmilarly hui
name manner" Wyndham added: 81
may remind the house that the Trans
vaal is party to the Geneva conven-
ton"
Lord Wolseley further adds: 81
have also received from General
Walker at Cape Town the following
message: Last message from Kim.
berly, Oct. %, 2 p. m, reports all
WELL"
Replying to a question as to what
arrangements have been made to EN-.
ploy civilian doctors to assist in car.
ing for the wounded in South Africa
Mr.. Wyndham says he was glad to
take the opportunity of announcing
that Sir William MacCormack, the
distinguished president of the Royal
college of surgeons had intimated his
readiness 20 accompany General Sil
Redvers Buffers force and place his
great skill at the disposal of the army
medical authorities. Mr.. Wyndham
said We have not hesitated to &C
cept this patriotic offer"
A courteous note reached Colonel
Baden-Powell from General Cronje
the Boer commander, offering facili
ties for the interchange of wounded
prisoners. This indicates that when
the Beers fired on the ambulance
train which was attempting to pick
UP the dead, they did so by mistake.
A native rumor says that Colonel
Plumer at Tuli engaged and defeated
a force of Beers.

Of the solid business men Of Ope-

taken a deep interest in the up
building Of our community, and
the advancement of its public en-
terprises. As Il member of our

both creditable to himself and to
his constituents. and his term as
a representative of our local af-
fairs was marked with ability and

by honest, intelligent, progress
i've and reliable candidates, and
it is we'll known that Mr.. J. K.
Sandoz fills the bill; and if we

We hope Mr.. Sandoz will be
