TRANSFERRED TO ENGLAND.
That Alaskan Controversy, and
the Way the Administration
Steered 1t.
Toledo News.l

By the courtesy of William Mckinley,
our imperial president, the richest gold
placer mines of Alaska have been trans
ferred to the ownership of England.
A strip of territory half as long as Long
Island has been turned over to Great
Britain for the mere asking.
Two thousand American miners who
discovered valuable claims in Ameri-
can territory have been given over to
Canada to be deprived of SO, 0O0, 900 gold
output by the British Columbia alien
laws The Porcupine milling district is
now English territory and the American
miners will be forced to pay their
miners tax to the British authority.
Here we have an imperial situation
| that should give Oregon, Washington
and California Good for deep reflection.
Two years ago when these demands of
England for Alaskan territory were
rejected, the mere rejection was her
aided as complete victory of the
United States over the policy of en-
| croachment and untenable demands of
Canada"
| But this was before the leaven of i'm
perialism had begun to work and be-
| fore the NICK nley- Hay Roosevelt
Hanna ideas had begun to prevail.
But Canada wanted a port in the
Lynn canal. She made an imperial de-
mand, backed by England. Mckinley
|
has been presented with one of the finest
gold-bearing districts Of the United
States.
The demands of Canada have been
so astounding that even the most par
tisan Republican organs have fought
bitterly against them for years. There
has been no claim or pretense that the
British authorities or subjects ever oc-
lcupied any of the territory now in dis
lpute, except under a lease from Russia
or ever exercised any acts of sover-
leignty over it.
Upon the transfer of Alaska from the
sovereignty Of Russia to that Of the
United States, a portion Of the United
States army was sent to occupy the very
territory now given over to England.
But insulting demands which any
other country on earth would have me-
with indignant refusals have beer
lmeekly submitted to by the man whC
seeks reelection at the hands of tn
American people
1t Is useless to speculate upon wha
Jefferson, or Jackson, or Bryan woult
or would not have done under such con
ditions.
The question Is what Mckinley ha.
already done.
Reader have you seen any condem
nation for this trucking perfidy in tn,

called Democratic annex"

Washington, July 31.-A dispatch

The Conger message came in the same

British and japanese legations.
Mr.. Conger said in his message that
there had been no firing since July 16,
by agreement. They had provisions for
several weeks, but little ammunition.
He added that If the Chinese continu-

foreigners could not hold out long and a
general massacre would follow. He
hoped relief would come soon. Con-

The METROPOLIS.
Cleveland Finally Outstrips
Cincinnati in the Mat
ter of Population.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The census Of
fee, Tuesday, announced the populations
of the largest two Ohio cities, according
to the census of 1900. The result shows
that Cincinnati and Cleveland have
exchanged positions, Cleveland now be-
ing the metropolis of the state.
The unofficial population of Cleveland

SAVED TWO TRAINS.
The Heroic Deed OF n Modest Watch
man on the Canadian Pa
cifc Railway.

1t does not take heroics to make a
a here; it only takes a man bent on
doing his duty in the face of odds.
Such a man is among the employees of
the Canadian Pacific railway in British
Columbia He is Waterman, and he
puts duty first and life second. The
Michigan Christian Advocate tells the
story of his devotion:
Not long ago a bridge on his section
OF road caught fire and tumbled into
the raging mountain river. 1t was
midnight, and the Waterman was alone
In the mountains. Coming toward that
yawning gap was the limited express
from the east, while from the west
ar excursion train containing 400
American journalists also drew near.
The excursion train was due first,
and it was coming from the side OPP
posite that on which the Waterman
stood.
The man did not hesitate. He
plunged into the swollen stream,
reached the other shore, ran to the
flag station and signaled the eNcur-
sion train. Then he disappeared in the
darkness.
Back to the river he ran without a
moments pause, cast himself in and
crossed again, Another rapid run to
the flag station on that side, and the
exhausted Waterman, ready to sinh;
with fatigue, stood by the Pacific
flyer that had been brought TO stop
at the flag station east of the bridge.
He had saved two trains, and perhaps
a thousand lives.
His own comment on the occurrence
was that he had done his duty.

KING PCTT OF AFRICA.
BOer Leader Who Occupies an Ex-
allied Position In the
TransVaGl.

The town Of Lourenco Marques for
some time past has been chosen as
the head center of the Transvaal Sc
cret service The spies and informers
of that notorious gang, says the Cape
Times, come and go with all the lib
erty, swagger and selfassurance, as
if they were in the SUBURBS of Pre-
tora. Delagoa bay is a so-called neu-
trad port, with a daily train and postal
service direct to Pretoria and johann
nesburg There is also telegraph
service. which apparently is at the
command of Mr.. Pott, the Transvaal
consul general and consul for the
Netherlands and Free State, Il has
been said that the Transvaal consul
gcieral has a secret service wire di-
rectly connecting Lourenco Marques
with Komati Poort, and it is we'll
known in Delagoa Bay that Mr.. Pott
is possessed of the most reliable infor-
nation of Boer successes" many
hours earlier than any man in Africa
This is extremely detrimental to Brit
lsh interests in South Africa. Mr..
Pott is the direst intermediary be
tween DR.. Leyds at The Hague and the
Observation-Disclosures regime in Preto-
ria. This worthy Hollander has a per
feet knowledge of English, portu-
guese, French and German. He is
comptroller of Transvaal customs and
railway, director of the Transvaal ma
tionad bank and head of the Dutch
East African company. BY virtue of
his long residence in Delagoa Bay, Mr..
Pott is a persona grata in all Portu-
guese official circles. Some two years
back the Portuguese newspaper, O Flu
turo, published in Lourenco Marques,
dedicated a special article to Mr.. Pott,
il which he was eulogized as King
l'ott of Africa"

MOUTH IN QUEER PLACE.
The VOraciouS shark Is Well Fit;ed
by Nature for His Rnpacious
Mission.

No doubt the sharks mouth is placed
so much beneath the projecting muz-
zle, under which also the nostrils lie,
that it may serve its proper purpose
in the best way. In ali records of the
habits of the fish, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, we are told that it can and
does bite out large chunks of flesh
from the dead bodies of whales and
even from living victims of its attack;
and it is easily seen that if its mouth
was like that of other fishes the nee
essary average would be lacking. A
further reason seems to be that the
shark by this peculiar position of its
mouth is compelled TO turn upon its
back to strike and is thus able to de-
liver its onset from below with more
deadly effect. This formidable
strength Of jaw is backed up by a
most terrible array of teeth, of which
in some species there are as many as
six rows all round. Each tooth is saw
edged and pointed, and some of the
largest are as much as two inches in
breadth at their base. These lie fiat
against the jaws and can be raised by
separate muscles at will, so that. as
the shark darts upon its prey, they
sping on end, as cats cdws are stuck
on, from its paws, This arrangement
will not allow anything once bolted 10
return, so that sharks mouth is q
veritable death trap.

courage as courage goes in politics"
said man of experience in political

President Harrison. lie is a million
airc, thereby being eligible to the
United States senate, and was a sena-
torial candidate before the Oregon leg
islature in 1885. Matters were badly
mixed, as they are likely to he at
times, and there was deadlock for 60
days. Hirsch was a member of the
state senate and president of the body.
and the vote was tie between him
self and his opponent during the whole
time. And here is where the courage.
or heroism, of the man came in. He
had east his vote for the other man
and would not change it. His friends
urged him with every argument in
their power to vote for himself, break
the deadlock and get the senatorshlp.
but he did not believe it was the right
thing to do, and Notwithstanding tie
great prize and the perfectly lcyiti-
mate manner by which he might have
secured it he let principle lead him
in another direction, and in a complo-
mise threw his forces TO John II.

shown than that. and think it was
