American right to the territory now in dispute which is cited is the case of Peter Martin who was convicted of an offense committed at GlenOra in 1876. It was found necessary to take the prisoner to Victoria and permission was asked of the United States govern ment Co take him down the Stiekeen river. This was granted and when the prisoner was about l3 miles from the mouth of the river he assaulted the officers who had him in charge and made an unsuccessful attemptto escape. He was convicted of this additional ot- tense at Victoria and sentenced for it.
 The prisoner appealed to the United States government, and the secretary ot state protested that the British courts had assumed jurisdiction over a crime committed on American terri tory. The protest was admitted 10 be we'll founded by the British foreign office and the prisoner was released at che direction of the British government. Atqa early date, the American govern men, took steps to secure a joint com mission Co mark on the ground the boundary between Alaska and Canada. The Canadians thought the necessities would not justify the expense but sug- gc>tcd that the line be marked at a point where it would leave the Port land canal. and where it would cross che Skoot. the Stickeen, the Taku, the I,iIcat and the Chilkat rivers, thus admitting ,he American claim 10 the mouth, of these streams.

NEGROES LEAD LADRoNE BANDS
Drill Highwaymen In Mill
tary Tactics.

Advices have reached here from Ma
Mia to the effect that the bands OF
ladrones which are harassing the ru-
.ral population Of the islands are in
many instances led by negroes who
have been discharged from the army,
and are employing their military
knowledge in drilling the ladrones
and organizing them in crude mill
tary way, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
In the province of Bulacan, it is
understood that a band of 800 la
drones led by an American negro ara
scheming to wipe out the constabui-
airy, and that four miles out from the
town of Calcoan four American
blacks are engaged in drilling large
number of highwaymen in military
tactics and training them in the uss
of firearms. 8
Because of the increasing activity
of the ladrones the continued with
drawal and concentration of troops
in the islands is causing apprehen-
sion among the inhabitants of many
provinces, who have depended wholly
upon the military for protection. La
drones are said to be notoriously
bold and numerous in Rial. and the
president OF that province recently
called on Adjt. Gen. Heistand for re-
lief. He also appealed to Gov. Taft.

He Knew a Sure Thing.

In the aftermath of convention
stories comes one of & well-known
politician whose love for making res
olutions and breaking them is well
known. After each lapse into the
drinking habit, his remorse is deep
and earnest. He fell from grace on
the last day of the convention, but
managed to retain his faculties to
the extent of finding his way to the
depot in Saratoga, boarding the New
York train, and crawling into his
sleeping-car berth, but without the
formality of taking off his clothes.
just before reaching New York he
slowly awoke and surveyed the situa-
ton through cloud of remorse.
Slowly the depth of his latest lapse
burst upon him, and as he did so his
horror found vent in expression.
''Great Scott" he whispered
hoarsely. "I'll bet a dollar / was
drunk last night"
''Say, old fellow" came the answer
from the upper berth, says the New
York Mail and Express, "put ten on
that for me, will you? It's a cinch I"

Cal Angus, an Arizona dust hunter.
'sCal had been on a drunk in Tue

the end of couple of weeks the

night he put ball in the barkeep

NEGRO LABOR FOR HAWAII.
Special Labor Conmfsstoner OF tine
Unted States Suggests Way Ont
of Planters' Trouble.

Thomas Fortune, special labor COM
missioner appointed by Secretary
Shaw to visit the Philippines and Ha-
waiian islands, is here, says q recent
Honolulu report. In an interview in
the United States, he said:
st believe that the importation OF
negroes here forms a natural solu-
ton of the difficulty which unavoid-
ably follows the absorption of trop-
ical or semi-tropical countries by tho
United States. In the southern states
and in the Carolinas the negro made
the industries what they are"
The commissioner said that there
might be difficulty in OBTAINING the
negro in Hawaii, but he thought
that the planters could get all they
wanted if they sent the right sort OF
agents after them. 'You could get
1O, 600 in six months" he said.
In view of the news from Washing
ton that the senate gave a hostile re-
ception to the plan for allowing Chi
nese to enter Hawaii as laborers. the
views of Commissioner Fortune have
attracted much attention in the Ha-
waiian islands. Hawaii is in need OF
more labor. The Merchants assoc
citation, backed by the Builders and
Traders exchange and other similar
organizations, is preparing to make a
fight in support Of the plan offered
by the plantation men to secure leg
islation from congress allowing the
importation Of Chinese laborers for
plantation work only, under certain
| restrictions.
Local labor unions have decided
against the proposition and will OPP
pose the plan. It is understood tina.
the matter will be the subject one
way or the other in the Forthcoming
report of the commission which re-
Gently visited Hawaii. 80
