NOT A TREATY.

In referring to the modus vivendi agree
meent In Sundays DAILY ALASKAN, Sec
iretary Seymour CT the royal commission
said: THE idea OF the commission was to
conserve such American rights. That was
an obligation Of the treaty and our su-
70 Preme law. On the American side the
treaty has the same force as the constitu>
tlon, to all intents and purposes"
Mr. Seymour Is mistaken. The modus
vivendi Is not entitled to the dignity of a
treaty. The president has not authority 10
close a treaty In the United States. 1t is
true a treaty Ia the United States has the
effect of being supreme law, but before a
treaty can become binding upon the Amer
lean people 1t Is necessary to secure the APP
provsl of two thirds of the American sem
ators. The modus vivendi IS simply an
executive agreement and has no such bind
ing effect upon congress as regularly ne
gotiated and ratified treaty.
The agreement fails not only in having
the force of the constitution. but the ques-
ton has been raised as to whether it is not
directly in conflict with the constitution,
The fundamental American law, the con-
stltution, provides that congress has the
sole power to ALLEVIATE territory OF the
United States 1t is even doubtful If the
treaty making power, which consists OF the
executive and the senate, could ALLEVIATE
territory without the consent of the house
of representatives. Constitutional lawyers
maintain, that to be binding, the cession Of
territory should be BY enactment of CON-
gress duly approved bv the president.

Going into effect TO-DAY is a new SEIZED

season. The new rate is $50 for both first

Early applications will ensure seat at

themselves standing up.
From Dawson to White Horse, however,
the company makes distinction in Its ad

$40; second class. So.
1t is believed the other companies will
keep pace with this, and there is no like

TAKEN WITHOUT A SHOT.
Gen. Otis Reports the Capture of Many
Places,


Adjutant General Corbin today received
cable message from General Otis making
the following statement concerning recent
military operations In the Philippines:
General Bates has Just returned from
south after placing the 10th Infantry at Su-
rigao; Cagayan, Iliganea. Isamis, Daptan.
northern Mindanao. and attending to special
matters intrustet. to his department. Minda-
mao and Jolo. Attended by two naval YES
sells and two gunboats troops, he occu-
pied points without resistance. Two hun
dred forty-one rifles, ninety-seven pieces of
artillery Were SURRENDERED. Eleven places
in Mindanao by troops without the firing
now occupied by troops without the firing
OF a shot.
Affairs in that section quite satisfactory.
Adjutant General Corbin said this morn
ing, regarding yesterdays dispatch from
Manila, which stated that reinforcements
had been requested by Gems. Young and
Bell of Gen. Otis: 1T is a fact that | have
learned that such reinforcements have
been requested of Otis. No official notice
has been given me regarding this matter,
but | can state with safety that the forces
under Young and Bell are very Inadequate
Gen. Bell. in particular. is greatly in need
OF troops. and | have heard through direct
sources that his operations, owing to the
lack of troops have been greatly hamper
ed time and time again.
Gen CorbIn went on to say that Otis has
directly under his command more men than
he really needs, and that beyond all prob
ability the requests of Young and Bell
would be Immediately granted and thai
they would be supplied with troops from
the forces now in the vicinity of Manila.
In conclusion the adjutant general said
that with such reinforcements as desired
Generals Young and Bell would actively
engage the insurgents and attempt if pos
Sib!e, to restore peace in the provinces of
Luzon.

ed about O'Clock last night in front of the
house of Mr.. Cotter T. Bride, No. 131 b
street southeast, by Policemen Brown and
Owens. and released on so collateral each.
They failed to appear in court this morn
ing and their collaterals were forfeited.
Mr.. Bride, who was not at home at the
time of the alleged disorder, was at the
Police Court this morning a witness in
the case. He claimed that the trouble last
night was part of an alleged political
move of Norris candidates to injure the
cause of Mr.. William Jennings Bryans
supporters.
In addition to this. he claimed that the
Norris men would probably make another
effort to annoy him, and he was anxious
that the defendants should be required to
appear in court and stand trial. or that the
amount of collateral accepted by the police
be increased. In addition to this. he was
anxious that the clerk should issue war
rants for Shelton and Lynch and two others
for alleged threats. The only threat ell
legged was that one of them said he would
sn ash Mr.. Brides window, and the officials
decided that for this alone i warrant could
not be issued. Concerning the request that
the defendants be compelled to appear and
stand trial on the charge of disorderly con-
duct, no action was taken.

The President has just ratified the Hague
conventions providing for universal arbi-
tration Of international disputes and for
the regulation Of the use of warlike in
struments.
So far as 1t is known here the United
States Senate was the first legislative body
to approve of the two conventions agreed
upon at the conference, and, In fact, the
Dutch parliament itself did not ratify the
treaties until a few days ago.
The next step in order will be the selec-
ton of the persons who are to serve the
United states as members OF the permanent
board of arbitration, but it is probable that
this will not be made until the State De-
partment has received notice of the final
adhesion to the conventions of all the DOW
ers parties to their making

Mrs NJ. A. Ridgeway, a former resident
Of Prince Georges county, Maryland, who
has lived in this city at No. PIG ID street
southeast for several years, was run over
and inst antiy killed on the Baltimore and
ohio railroad crossing at 1yattsville, about
$40 O'Clock Saturday afternoon, her mead
being severed from her body
The body of Mrs. Ridgeway was thrown
from the track to ditch, but was soon re-
moved and given into the charge Of Under
taker Gasch. Her name was discovered by
means Of letter found in her satchel ard
her daughter was informed of her deaf h.
Magistrate Carr, acting as coroner heard
the statement of several witnesses, and
deemed an inquest unnecessary
AT the time Mrs Ridgeway WAS killed
another woman came near losing her life
IL Is believed that there would have been
n double tragedy had it not been for the
presence of mind of citizens who were
standing near the crossing at the time
The body of Mrs. Ridgeway was removed
to the home Of her daughter. from where
her funeral took place this morning
