Lieutenant Coburn Does a Good Piece
Of Work.

Through the courtesy Of Hon. Ches-
ter B. Bradley, The Republican is in
receipt of a copy Of ~"Freadom," a paper
publish in Manila, of the date of May
"a. The following, taken from that
paper, will interest the many friends
of Mr.. Coburn, who was a Laramie boy
and a graduate of the University of
Wyoming:
Lieutenant Coburp of the Twenty
fifth infantry, with a detachment from
his regiment met a small body Of in
surgents, yesterday. five miles north
Of infantry and put them to rout, cap
turing three prisoners, II rifles, Mau.
sers and Remingtons, and 400 rounds
of ammunition. The Americans com
pletely surprised the rebels, and at the
first volley fired by Coburn's command
many of them threw down their guns
and liked off the field as fast as they
could 60. The three prisoners were at
first very much frightened and fell on
their knees, begging for mercy, when
Coburn's men surrounded them. How
ever, they soon became reconciled to
their position, and expressed them
selves as we'll satisfied with being re-
lieved Of the responsibility Of fighting
the Americans.
at is reported officially from Ala
minos that Lucio Nurande, an insur-
gent captain, calmly walked into that
pueblo, carrying a shot gun and a re-
volver which he turned owe with him

Skagway Citizen Thinks Our
 Rights Must Be Asserted
BRACKET SAVED PORT
Alaska's Metropolis Was Once Offered to Canada But the Fact Became Known I'm Time To Save the City-Hay Was Then Cap tured and the Modus Vivendi Was Agreed Upon.

George A. Bracket. who is in the city a few days from his Atin mine, expresses much qualification with the position the DAILY ALASKAN has taken in connection with the modus vivendi and the Alaskan boundary question, While MT. Bracket favors the most liberal of policies as to- ward Canada, believing of course that such policy should be mutual, he is opposed to surrendering one inch of American terri tory. It is a matter of patriotism and of principal with MT. Bracket, who is oppos- ed to arbitration and thinks the time will come when the United States must assert its rights,
 MT. Bracket has spent much time and money to save Lynn equal to the United States and dnatnrallvfeels agreived at what he terms Hays folIv," in consenting to the modus vivendi. It is not generally known, perhaps. but at one stage of the proceedings of the Joint High Commission, MT. Brackett probably saved Skagway to the United States.
 Lord Herschel who was president of the commission, and chairman of the British members of the committee on boundary and customs, was insistent upon Canada having port on Lynn canal. He urged it so persistentv and so eloquentIv pointed out the greater use such port would be to Canada than to the United States, that he captlvated the American members of the committee who in writing offered Skagway to Great Britain. By persistent effort Mir. Bracket, who became cognizant of this fact, interested the American members of the commission not of the committee in question to such an extent that it became evident that the policy would not go through, and it was abandoned for the time being. The northern trip of Senators Fairbanks and Davis and Congressman Dalzell settled the matter.
 "Our people fell down over the old con tention that our line extended to 54-4o'' said MT. Bracket yesterday, "so we are and must remain neighbors with Canada so am in favor of getting along In nar- mony. favor being more than fair. but am strongly opposed as an American In surrendering one inch of the territory we purchased from Russia. Of course these neighborly concessions should be mutual. Our country has been handicapped in the regulations and agreements promulgated for Alaska and the north by the ignorance of our statesmen, while the British and Canadians have been thoroughly informed
The daily morning Alaskan., 1900-09-21
upon every phase of the situation.

Their members of the Joint High commission were winding the Americans around their fingers until few strong men like Senator Davis and Fairbanks as serted themselves. Then when they saw that the commission was going to fail, they dined and wined Hay until they cap tured him, and he agreed to the modus vivendi.
 While the modus vivendi is tempo rarv in Its nature, the step has been taken and the dispute over the boundary will be much harder to settle than before. When the commission meets again it will be found that the British and Canadian mem bers will refuse to move an inch from their former position. They will be more set than ever, and will refuse to abandon the territory in which they have established their authority.
 Before tie case can be settled now. all the placer gold will have been removed, and probably the quartz mines well de. veloped.
 However. am still opposed to arbi- tratlon. The Canadian contention resem- bles the case of one who sues for $Ioo.o 1000, hoping jury might give him $s,ooo.
 When the time comes that all other efforts have failed, our country must say to the British that the term of their tenancy having ceased, we must have our property back. Such a course probably would not have been beset with the diff cultieS that will present themselves, had it been made before the Canadians took possession. but our claim to ownership is so well founded and so plain that such stand could not but be complied with"

High Transportation Rates

MANAGER OF NIMROD
Tells Why the Quarts Mines Were rr"sed Down So Early in the Sea- Cannot Work Low Grade psitions at Present Transpor- on Rates and Cost of Labor and ing in Atlin.

Why the Nimrod Syndicate of Atlin should have stopped work so early this season was matter of some sur1 rise to Atlin people and there has teen much spec ulaton as to the cause. MT. R. D. Feath- erstonehaugh, the manager, said vester- day that the reasons were the high price of labor and the high cost of living, and the high transportation rates. These com bined practically prohibited quartz mining in the Atlin district at the present time.

MINISTER WI has said some very
polite but very forcible things anent
missionaries in China. He suavely
commends missionaries for their sim
cerity and height of motive, but adds
shat the Chinese have religion with
q philosophic completeness on the
o der of the high ethical deductions
of Rousseau and Diderot, that ii has
been perfectly satisfactory to China
men for 6, 900 care, that they desire a
splendid isolation from other peoples,
and that foreigners are distasteful
Which is polite for saying, you attend
to your own souls and the Ohinaman will
be content to attend to bis own. Un
for China, that splendid
isolation which she desires is not
with modern csmmerce, and
China ia not reluctant to profit by
modern commerce. There is reason in
letting the Chinese religion alone as
long as it does not interferu with any
body elss's religion, but she cannot
eat the cake of commerce and have the
oake of issolation too.

THE INTERNATIONAL DAM.

Tuesday night next there will be

discuss the matter OF the proposed In

lating q de 6nise policy with regard Il
it. Il is hoped that every citizen whit
has the success of the project at hear
will attend, and lend the weight Of hii
influence and business sense toward
the definition of Q course of action.
1t is little curious that with al
the discussion the matter has had In
the newspapers for she last many years
there are still good many people,
business men, in the city that are
ignorant wish regard to the issues
involved. 1t Is largely to correct mis-
Information and enlighten those who
have had neither the time nor the
INCLINATION to inform themselves upon
the importance of taking early and
definite action towards the consumms-
ton of the project, that this meeting
Ia to be held.
Everyone will admit that one of the
AAOos oCHiOho w VIC pFOp6T
development of Ell Paso and this vicini-
ty ia the lack Of water for irrigation
and the high price of water for domestic
use. If this problem could De solved it
would mean the i'm sdiats peopling of
the river valleys above and below US
with thousands Of thriving farmers,
orchardists, and workinRmen. Ell Paso
would be blessed with suburbs, q thing
she sadly lacks now. Moet of what we
would need in the way of farm, ranch,
orchard, aud gsrdeo products to supply
our own needs would be raised At home
and the vast amounts of money now
cent to other cities for supplies would
be kept at home.
Besides this, our people would be
able to raise supplies for sale outside.
Ell Paso products would gain q fine re-
putation all over the country. There
would be steady stream of money
coming in here to pay for our products,
which would benefit the town in q
manner similar to the way in which
manufactures would benefit the town.
1t does not need much emphasis upon
the necessity for irrigation water. The
question is how to secure it. MANY of
our people believe that dam can be
built at . point in the Rio Grande
