Joseph H. Choate, before his appointment

In the lobby Of a New York hotel. The con-

In replying to an attack made upon him
by John De Witt Warner OF New York Mr..
Reed said; II cannot hope to equal the

New York, That is equaled only by the
volume Of those things which he does not

During Harrison's administration, said
Reed, Il had only two enemies In the state

Mr.. Reeds last visit to Washington, which
terminated in 80 sorrowful a way, was made
Just after the army and navy foot ball
game, which he attended. AS he came
through the gate to take the train from the
foot ball game to Washington, he found
himself jostling Representative Charles b.
Lands Of Indiana, whom he knew well.
They shook hands and boarded the train
together, going into the smoking car. When
they settled themselves in the seats M
pulled out their cigars, Mr.. Lands said:

cheerfully:
"Mr. Reed, how much do you weigh?'
zone hundred and ninety pounds" was
the prompt answer.
"Oh!" said the tuft-hunter apologetically,
"I think you must be mistaken. l am a
much smaller man than you and weigh
over 200 pounds"

Il was Reed, too. when asked TO write
a toast to the democratic party, replied at
once: THE democratic party. Here's to

At a dinner in New York some one jok-
ingly commented on prohibition in Maine
Mr.. Reed, whose turn came later, defended
his old home against the mistaken view
Of the result Of prohibition there" He
said It had resulted in Maine men losing
all taste for liquor. This was met with
bowls OF d~erision and sarcastic laughter,
but Mr.. Reed never cracked a smile. He
said the popular mistake was due TO the
fact that whenever a New Yorker went to
Maine the hospitable people OF that state
broke the rule and gave him drink only to
save his life.

A hit of Prophecy.
One OF Mr.. Reeds visits to Washington
was made lust after the withdrawal of his
successor, Speaker Henderson, from the
congressional race IN Iowa. A newspaper
correspondent espied Mr., Reed standing
on the opposite side Of the street, contem-
plating the sky. The correspondent knew
that it would be a dificult matter to induce
Mr.. Reed to talk about his successor, so
instead Of accosting the ex-speaker at once
he walked up and down the block for ave
minutes, framing an appeal which should
touch the Maine mans heart. Having com
posed an artful, skilltul address, he crossed
the street to where Mr.. Reed was still
standing. It was his intention to prevent
Mr.. Reed from interrupting by pouring out
his entire argument, explaining the reasons
why it was a patriotic duty for Mr.. Reed
to talk, before the latter could get in a
word.
He carried out his scheme successfully.
1t took three minutes to deliver the ad-
| dress. and Mr.. Reed did not get a chance
to interrupt. II was such a convincing
argument that the correspondent did not
see how Mr.. Reed could refuse to talk
Omaha daily bee., 1902-12-14

Mr.. Reed seemed moved. Instead Of alb
ruptly refusing to talk, as had at hrst
been his evident intention, he looked up
at the sky and began to think. The corre-
spondent knew enough not to disturb the
current Of Mr.. Reeds thoughts. For three
or four minutes the ex-speaker gazed at
the sky with a meditative air. At last he
slowly brought his gaze back to earth,
cleared his throat and spoke:

One evening a newspaper correspondent
sent his card in to Mr.. Reed, who was
seated in a dark corner of a Washington
restaurant.

said; Pardon me. Mr.. Reed. l mistook you

LIGHT ON RIVAL CLAIMS
Rev. Father. Anatoly Has Documents
Bearing on Alaskan Boundaries. e.


Documents that may assist the United
States in it's contest with Canada over
the ownership Of certain gold districts in
Alaska are said to be in possession of
Father Anatoly, pastor of the Greek Cath
Ollie church in this city, and master Of the
Greek school at Fifth avenue NE and Sew
enteenth avenue.
the Greek church in March, 1897, He re-
manned four years and endeavored to coll
lect what books and documents were
available in reference to the territorial
claims Of England and the United States.
He said last night that he had several
old maps of Alaskan regions, copies of
agreements between the Russian neri
can Trading company and the Russian
government, authorized reprints Of Rus
sian surveys, etc. One Of his most i'm
portant authorities is an authorized his
tory Of the Russian-American Trading
company, written in 1851 by P. Tichmen-
eft.
According to this history the trading
company became involved in a dispute,
about 1916, with the Hudson Bay company
and destroyed some property belonging to
the British corporation. BY way Of in
demnity the Russian company ceded to It's
rival strip of territory about ten miles
wide in 81 degrees, 40 minutes longitude
around the mouth of the Stakine RIVERA
territory that Canada now occupies with
the consent of the United States.
But the agreement between the trading
companies in 1915 was that the Hudson
Bay company was to occupy the land for
ten years only and was then to cede it
back to Russia. The cession was never
made. Yet inasmuch as the land was only
leased by a private corporation to the
British traders. and was never transferred
by the Russian government, the territory
cfo acSf0 Nd CHI
have passed into the domain Of the United
States when this country obtained Alaska.
The district in question is rich in gold
mines.

FOUGHT FOR BOERS.
F. J. Stanley Of Valley City, N. D.,
Back From Campaign in
South Africa.
He Spent Two Years There Aiding
Beers in Their Fight Against
-. the English. -"

FL. Stanley OF Valley City, N. D., was
! In the city to-day on his way home from
South Africa, where he spent two years
in the Boer army. He will leave tonight
for his, home In North Dakota, we'll
pleased with the experience gained In
fighting for the South African republic.
About two years ago, Mr.. Stanley, then
barely FL years of age. became greatly
interested In the Boer struggle. Wishing
to lend the weaker side aid he packed his
| outfit and started for the Transvaal. Once
there he attached himself to General Cru
Der and fought with that command for
nearly twenty months. - -. e.. f.-$.
| A strict order had been issued by the
Boer commanders against soldiers stay
ing in farm houses. One night last Febru
airy, Youlsg Stanley and nine comrades
entered farm house to get out of
severe ratnstorm. Surprising that tho
English were not marching in such
storm. they prepared to spend the night
| in the shelter, but were scarcely asleep
when detachment Of cavalry came up
and the ten men wero made prisoners
When they We're captured, Stanley was
given the choice of going to St. Helena or
of joining the English forces. He refused
to join his enemies and was about to be
sent to St.. Helena, when it was discovered
that he was an American. He was then
offered work at breaking horses for the
British government, at which he con-
tinued until July 2. when he started for
America.
Mr.. Stanley says:
The war in South Africa is past and with
the help which the English government Is CIV
ing the people, most of the farms have been
| re-stocked, houses and barns rebuilt and In a
| short time all that will be left to tell of the
| bitter strife will be the vacant chairs. The
people have had all the war they want and are
glad that it is over. There is scarcely fam
| lily In which there has not been one or more
| members killed during the war. ~
The greatest trouble facing the people at the
present time is the threatened uprising of the
Ka fhrs and Zulus. These people all armed
and anxious for war. When left johannesburg
| early In July, there were runors that an up
! rising Of the natives imminent. 1t will
| be some time before they pacif1ed and still
longer time before all trouble in South Africa
| will be over.
