ALASKAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Secretary Hay Willing to Submit Facts
to CONGRESS.

SSCTCSdIy IVdy vvutUS W 0N0Iute avis
to Congress.
Washington, April 10.--Secretary of
State Hay has indicated his willingness
to inform congress of the facts In rela-
ton to the recent charges that the
Canadians were removing and destroy
ing ancient landmarks and monuments
long ago erected by the Russian gov
eminent to mark the Alaskan bound
airy.
Congressman Cochran, of Missouri,
introduced resolution in the house
last week calling upon the secretary of
state to inform the house whether 1t
were true that the boundary landmarks
between the United States and Canada
were being destroyed and to also state
what action was being taken by the
state department to ascertain the facts
and to prevent the entertainments of
the Canadians upon American territory.
The resolution was printed and referred
to the house committee on foreign af-
fairs, of which Mr.. Hit, of Illinois, is
chairman.
Mr.. Hitt stated yesterday that he had
received word from the secretary of
state that his department would cheer
fully furnish the house with all availa-

FAREWELL TO GOV. Hoee.
Texas Oil Masnate Sails for New York
Today.

London, April S.-Ex-Gov. Hogg. of
Texas. who visited England in connec-
ton with his oil interests, will sail for
New York on the steamer Teutonic to-
day. A dinner in his honor was given
last night at the Carlton hotel. at which
Ambassador Choate, Count Metternich,
the German ambassador, Viscount
Deerhurst, Messrs. Burke-Roche and
Stuart and ex-Assistant District Attor-
ney Osborne, of New York, were pres
ent. Mr.. Hogg says he is delighted
with the treatment accorded him in
England. He has met uniform courtesy
and kindness from the chancellor to the
crossing Altho he admires the
womens dresses, the kind cut long at
the bottom and short at the top, he
longs for the simple calico of Texas.
When asked ii he would attend the
coronation, Mr.. Hogg replied that he
would not, adding that he would then
be fishing in Texas. He would not swap
two hours under the shade of a dog
wood bush catching sunfish for all the
show of royalty in the world.

STUDENT DISORDER IN RUSSIA.
Disturbances Are General at the Uni
versity Towns.

Correspondence Associated Press.J
st. Petersburg, March Pat would
be wearisome to describe all the stu
dent disorders and revolutionary DEM
constructions turnout the country. Of
which reports are being continually re-
ceived by the local radicals. The Sit
uation in Dorpat, a town in the gov
eminent of Livonia, is. perhaps, typi-
cal of the state of affairs in the ma
jority of the provincial towns.
A letter of recent date received here
from the place mentioned says the
university is temporarily closed as a
result of strike tactics, which occas-
toned numerous arrests and domi-
cilliary visitations. The Veterinary
institute has lost 80 students (of whom
SO can never return, while the re-
manning AZ have been relegated to re-
tirement until the autumn) as the re-
suit of q celebration at the institute
of the anniversary of the birth of Go
gol, the Russian reformer and novelist.
At the close of the speeches, as re-
ported in the correspondence from
Dorpat, both the students and the In
vited guests gave vent to their feelings
in loud cries of Hail to free liter
ature, hail university" and Down with
the temporary regulations" Printed
sheets were distributed and the Mar
seillaise" was sung as the audience left
the hall. Students and their friends
then collected before the university and
sang revolutionary songs and shouted:
Down with autocracy" and hail to
the constitution" The students. 1t
appears, dispersed before the arrival
|of a detachment Of soldiery which had
been sent to the scene.

Of Livonia, during a recent theatrical

lets printed in Lettish (the language

DUEL AT THE zoo.
Swan and Wild Goose Engage in a
Battle 70 the Death.

Chicago, Ill. April 10.-A duel to the
death was fought yesterday between
white Prize the champion of Lincoln
park swans, and the leader of the zoo
flock of wild geese. In the struggle the
goose received blow from the power
full wing of it's antagonist, which caus-
ed it's death few minutes later.
The birds have long been known to
be enemies, and two weeks ago Cy De
Vry, the keeper, was compelled to in
terfere in battle between them. At
that time the goose appeared to have
the best of the fight.
Yesterday the swan walked along in
to the midst of the flock of wild geese
and attacked his old enemy. The strug-
gle caused great confusion among the
feathered inhabitants of the pond. The
combatants were we'll matched, and for
time neither bird had the advantage.
At vigorous stroke of the swans
wing, however, the goose sunk upon the
turf and was soon dead. Examination
showed that its neck had been broken
by the blow.

YATES REPLIES 10 CRITICS.
Defends His Course as to the Illinois
Farmers Institute


Springfield. ILL.,, April 10.-Gov. Yates
yesterday made reply to the criticisms
concerning his action in advocating the
re- election of A. b. Hostetter as secre-
tary of Illinois farmers institute. He
said:
II will resist at all times and in all
proper ways all attempts to pack state
boards against the administration
which sustains them. Last year l was
asked to favor suitable appropriations
for the state farmers institute. j did
so. Since then systematic attempt
has been made by few men to turn it
into an organ and instrument and tool
of the political attack on me. Men who
are trying to tear down this admins
tration have been invited (and pro-
cureO by a minority of the executive
committee to address the state .nsti-
tute. Members of the same minority
have openly criticised the administra-
ton from time to time in their adj
dresses. 1t was not for this purpose
that the institute and it's appropriation
were created. The farmers for whose
benefit it was planned do not approve
such factional procedure. No legisla
ture or governor can be asked to pro-
vide appropriations for such purpose.
congratulate the executive committee
upon their action in retaining their
present secretary for another year. His
retention shows that this boards devo-
ton to merit is not devotion in name
only. sJe has been faithful pal ~ tax
ing and honest official. Under any
merit system or civil service system he
would have been retained. There was
no real reason to attack him except his
friendship for me. ] am sure DR.. Frank
H. Hall did not know that his name was
being used against Hostetter under
such circumstances.
