MIR. HAY REASsURES MINERS.
Alaskan MOdus Vfyendi is Only a
Temporary Arrangement.

SEATTLE. Wash, September 6-The
miners of the Porcupine district, Alaska
have received from Secretary Of State Hay
definite assurances that this government
foregoes no part OF it's right and power to
protect its citizens in the Porcupine creek
region, whether they be temporarily with
In American or British Jurisdiction, in the
full enjoyment Of all rights and privileges
which they had before the modus vivendi
was concluded and to see that their free
dom of access and exit with their goods is
not unreasonably impeded.'
This announcement from Mr.. HaAis the
result of a petition to President Mckinley
from 40 American miners I'm the Porcuplne
country, who complained of being brought
within the territory and under the laws of
the Dominion OF Canada, and especially
protested against the location of the bound
airy line along the Klehini river, by which
American miners were forced to enter
British territory in carrying supplies to
their camps. The reply of Secretary Hay
discusses the whole proposition at consid-
cradle length. He assures the miners that
the modus Vivendi is merely a temporary
proposition to be abrogated without preju-
dice to either party when permanent set
tlement Of the boundary dispute is reach
ed; that in the meantime the rights of all
miners temporarily brought within the
Canadian control will be protected and that
miners desiring to carry goods through the
disputed territory will be permitted to do
so without unjust interference from the
Canadian customs officials.

SHOCKED AT SEWALL'S DEATH.
w. j. Bryan Speaks Highly of HIS
Former Colleague.


GRAFTON, w. Va. September 6.-Mr
Bryan was visibly shocked upon being in
formed Of the death of Arthur Sewall, his
fellow candidate on the national democratic
ticket in 1896 He received the news
through a message from Mr.. Sewalfs son
and Immediately sent a message of con-
dolence. Referring to Mr. Sewall In con-
versation today, Mr.. Bryan expressed him
self as panied at the news, and said that
Mr.. Sewall was a warm personal friend as
we'll as political associate.
Il met him first at the Chicago conven-
ton" he said. land during the campaign
had opportunity to become well acquainted
with him, and have seen him at intervals
since, the last time In Georgia last Febru-
airy. He was man of strong character,
deep convictions and upright life. and he
had the courage to stand for his opinions,
no matter how great the opposition might
be. When the silver fight divided the party
he was one of the very few national COM
mitteemen, If not the only one. in New
England who voted with the silver element
of the party.
He was banker. but believed IN bi-
but was willing to pay an income tax, and
was an earnest supporter of democratic
principles in general. His death brings loss
to the party well sorrow to those who
knew him Intimately.

This Exposition Reamrmed.
This exposition Of the law has been re-

question is no longer a debatable one No
doubt that Congress in providing a terri

the Philippines any other territory would
extend to the full limit the people were ca

government. and as they progressed grant
Lnem greater responsibility; but who so
foolish as not to know that the inhabitants
OF these islands would enjoy greater liberty
under our protection than under independ-

have demonstrated that we should by all
means retain the Philippines, not more for
the protection of the Filipinos than our
own, but for the protection Of both With
the control Of these islands we can guard
the rights and interests of our citizens and
our commerce in the orient without be-
coming involved in serious complications
with other powers All this sentiment about
sordid commercialism sounds very NICE but
we must recognize the fact that we have
reached point where 1t is necessary for
us to look out for markets or suffer the
frlghtful consequences which will inevi-
