Miraculous Escape Of Passen

YORK, Pa. Nov. 16.-The South

speed of As miles an hour was dynal
mited and wrecked last night. The

miraculous. Many were badly

was averted is mystery.
The police believe the dynamite
was intended for the Buffalo express

CANADIANS ARE LOYAL.
Talk Of Offering Britain Another
Regiment for Service in South

& OTTAWA, Ont. Nov l6.-The ion,,
continuance of the war in South Afri-
ca and the uncertain prospect of a
speedy termination of Boer resist
ance is beginning to once more arouse
the martial spirit OF English-speak,
Canadians. The opinion is steadily
gathering force throughout the Do
minion that the government should
without delay offer to raise and equip
another Canadian contingent for ac-
tive service In South Africa. A lata
report, emanating from Halifax, an.
nounced that 500 of the Royal Cana
dian artillerymen, now doing garri-
son duty at that city. were to be dis
patched to the seat of war at once.
but inquiry at the militia department.
here fails to confirm this report, and
it is probably incorrect. 1t is well
understood however, that the ques-
ton of dispatching a Canadian con-
tingent of mounted troops and artil-
lery is now under consideration by
the Dominion government.

Trust Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.--If there
is one important domestic question
now pending here it may be said to
be the trust question. 1t has been
known from the first day that Mr..
Roosevelt succeeded to the presiden-
cy that in his first message to cou-
gress he would recommend anti.
trust legislation. 1t has also bee.i
known that his ideas take the forui
of publicity concerning the affairs Of
large corporations. secured by federal
statute. 1t is still understood that
the president will discuss the trust
question in his message, but there
is very good reason for saying that
he is not going to indulge in anything
that could be regarded as revolution

Alaskan Boundary Controversy.

WASHINGTON. Nov 16.-Negotiar
tions are pending between Secretary
Hay and Lord Pauncefote concerning
the Alaskan boundary controversy
1t is now proposed to appoint a joint
committee of experts, one-half the
members thereof to be named by each
party to the dispute, these experts to
investigate the whole matter and rem
der a report. Neither the United
States nor Great Britain is to be alb
solutely bound by this report, and the
reference of the matter to such d
commission is by no means to be con
sidered an arbitration. but simply a
means of securing information. ..,
The United States government will
never consent to an arbitration Of
this question, because it feels conf
dent Its claims are accurate and of
sound character. The trouble with
arbitrations is that they nearly al
ways result in a compromise. and the
United States cannot consent to any
compromise on a question. touching
territory over which 1t has surely the
sovereignty. Western people can
rest assured that the Lynn canal will
never be surrendered by the United
States to Great Britain. iJ
