aALK OF ANNEXATION
ONE RESULT OF ALASKAN
 BOUNDARY DECISION.
Feeling in British Columbia is Very Bitter and Matter of Joining The United States is Dis
 cussed by Citizens.

Vancouver, B. C.. Oct. 2.-Local feeling Is very bitter over the award of the Alas kan Boundary Commission. There is much talk of annexation and of Canada becoming independent. business men be- ing generally much dissatisfied at what they pronounce British disregard of Ca- nadian interests to please the United States. It Is a matter of comment that the loudest among the disoontented are Englishmen residing here. Many of these say that Canada will never achieve her greatest possibilities until she becomes a part of the United States.
 The Rev. Elliott s. Rowe, the leading Methodist minister of British Columbia, and who. with Chief Justice Hunter, con stituted the labor commission which sat this summer. in an interview here said.
 T am Britisher and I have always been Britisher. but if Great Britain is to hand Canada over piecemeal to the United States. say let us join the Amer ican republic also. By doing so now we are large enough, populous enough and Important enough, to have something to say regarding the terms of such annexa- tion and also would be potent enough to have something to say in the affairs of the republic of which we would form a part But if we wait until our best and richest territory is given away we shall simply be absorbed. It looks to me as if Canada has won the case and lost the ter ritory."
 Mayor Woodlands of Vancouver, thinks that the Alaskan award may lead to the establishment of Canada as an independ- ent nation.''

Dr. Gladden. Says Race Problem
 Grows in Complexity.

Cleveland, O., Oct. a.-The closing meeting of the American Missionary As- sociation was held tonight. Dr. Wash ington Gladden. of Columbus made an ad- dress on the negro problem in which he said the solution of the question was further away today than 1t was at the close of the civil war; that the task of helping the negro to manhood Is increas- ing in complexity and that the people of the South deserve great credit for what they have done for the negro.
 The American Missionary Association has funds amounting to moro than a mill lion dollars, he said. the income of which it is required to spend in the Southern field for negro education. Other socie- transferred. they must be conscientiously administered to sustain missionary work. To suspend missionary work in the South would check the forward movement of what is proving to be very helpful In It's results. 4f
 The negro in the greater part of the South was declared to be disfranchised and ''he is no longer a free and respon- sihle citizen: he Is a subject, must pay taxes and has little or no share in deter- mining how these taxes shall be expend- ed."
 In conclusion Dr. Gladden. said: "The American Missionary Association was porn to bear witness to the truth that black men are men, that they have not only hands but souls, and for them there must not only be bread, but a kingdom hope. outlook and opportunity, clear path to the heights of manhood"

AN AMERICAN CHURCH
BISHOP GAILoR OF TENNESSEE
 SPEAKS.
Says the United States Does Not Need the Church of England But the Church of
 America,

Washington, Oct. 2z-At the morning session of the Pan-American conference of Bishops, Rt. Rev. Frank Gailor, the Bishop of Tennessee. advocated the de- veiopment of Episcopal Church in the United States along national lines with view to the creation of a distinctively American church. Bishop Gailor took the ground that the United States did not need the Church of England but the Church of America. He was opposed to the Episcopal Church being called branch of the Church of England and also to the introduction of English forms and customs into the American church. Bishop Gailor Is in favor of a change of name from the Protestant Episcopal Church to a more appropriate title. He quoted a prominent Presbyterian clergy as saying that unity of the Presbyterian and Episcopalian Churches should be un- der the name Episcopal. Bishop Gailor said that the church needed to be Ameri- canized not Anglicised. His address aroused great enthusiasm. The general subject of discussion was the attitude Of the Protestant Anglican Church toward the Protestant communions around her. Beside Bishop Gailor, the Bishop of Mon treal also read paper. Both these pa pers had for their subject the points of union and their emphasis and they de. NCiOPCN thO hhohy ROhAtS VI doctrine in which all occupy common ground affording hope of eventual agree ment Bishop Whitehead of Pittshurg and the Bishop of Niagara discussed Points of Difference and their Explana- tion."
 On the development of a distinctively American church, Bishop Gailor said:
 we ought to emphasize the fact that this church is not the church of the mid dle ages nor the church of England. but an American curch. The problems we have to solve and the difficulties we have to encounter are in a peculiar sense our own. For us to import into this church the manners and customs. the prejudices and practices of the established Church of England seems to be mistake. Romanism has tried in vain to be Ro- man in the United States and is now attempting to convince people that 1t is the American Catholic Church. No body of Christians ever had the splendid op- portunity that we have to demonstrate that Catholicity' does not mean Roman, and that American is not synonomyous with class individualism; but we shall not do 1t as a branch of the Church of Eng land only as an American church.
 Bishop Gailor urged the encouragement of contract and sympathy between the Episcopal Church and the other Protes- tant churches by the maintenance of our American spirit and American independ ence in custom and worship and govern ment."
 The Bishop declared that to recognize these differences of rational and national progress and to disparage or ignore them, he said. is to "try to be more Catholic than God"
 A committee of bishops has been ap- pointed to consider and to report to the conference npon the expedinecy and prac- ticability of putting into effect Bishop aGilor's suggestions.

HIS FOLLOWERS ARE TIREI
Two Hundred Express Desire
 to Return to Zion City.
Some of the Cheeks Which Were Showered Upon the Pseudo Prophet are Turned Down
 by the Banks.

New York, Oct. 22-A great crowd filled Madison Square Garden tonight at the Dowie services and a greater crowd massed outside the building. Two hun dred and fifty police were gathered there to keep order, but tonight their services were little required.
 The subject of, Dowie's address was the Claims of Christ as Universal King"
 The consummation of the age is rap- idly approaching" he said, and my mis- sion is to tell you that the great and ter- rible day of the Lord is very near. God has never given up the government of his own world. What a farce to suppose that God, the Creator, the Sustainer, has re- linquished his control! To whom? Oh. in America to the voter? No. There is but one form of Government acceptable to God. and that is the theocratc govern. ment.
 Cause of All Misery.
 Failures of men to understand the sim pie laws of God have been the cause of all human misery
 He recited a number of lines of verse. and spoke a prayer which his followers repeated after hin, a few words at a time. 8
 T desire to say that admission hereaf- ter will be by tickets until quarter after seven" J
 He said after the prayer had done: Af- ter that hour the public will be admitted if there are vacant seats. l desire to say that there will be no charge for the tick cts. They will be given freely; our pro- grams will be given freely. If you wish to give you may give freely
 Here the audience arose and began to leave and a brief benediction was spoken
 Two hundred of the followers of powis indicated that they were tired of the work of reforming New York city and wanted to return to Zion City when the general overseer' invited all who wanted to give up the work and give others a chance to take 1t up to step forward at the early meeting In Madison Square Garden today
 Checks Were Bogus.
 powie at that meeting said he should endeavor to eonves the Pope. He added that he had, received mafy bogus checks since coming to New York, but that oth- CTS had been good.
 There is no need for followers to rush back to Zion,' said he, "because of those suits by merchants of Chicago. They are against me personally and not against Zion"
 Turning his attention to kissing, Dowie said people should be careful of their kisses and use them carefully in the family.
 why. my son. Gladstone, never kissed a woman outside the family he said
 William A. Brady, theatrical manager, who, with Lorenzo Winter, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct in the crowd about Dowie's meeting in Madi- son Square Garden last night, was dis. charged in police court today.
 MT. Winter was paroled to give him an opportunity to bring witnesses to testify to the brutality and bad judgment of the police.

HE DoWNED TWLED.
For This Vincent Cody Suffered Many
 YaarS

New York, Oct. 22.-Suffering most of his life as a result of victory over Will liam M. Tweed in the days when that "boss" was at the heighth of his power, Vincent Cody is dead.
 Cody was once wealthy man. He died a watchman on the Rapid Transit subway. and since the Civil War, through which he fought, had served thirty-three years in States prison. all of which he de- clared was due to the fact that he suc- ceeded in defeating Tweed's candidate for the Assembly in the 'boss's" own dis trIct shortly after the war, because he had not succeeded in getting his old po- litical job when he returned from the front. He declared Tweed followed him up and later that when he was arrested because of an accidental shooting in which he was involved, he was convicted by a packed" jury and sent to prison for life.
 Cody's sentence was commuted by President Roosevelt. but he left the prison much against his will.

HEMrNwAY's RESOLUTION. Will Have an Amendment
 %n T$

Washington, Oct. 2.-(spectal.)-lt IS the understanding that Representative Heminway will offer a resolution at the beginning of the extra session for an in- vestigation of the Postofflce Department and that an amendment will be proposed from the Democratic side providing for an investigation of the expenditures on the White House improvements.
 It will be recalled that Representative Gaines of Tennessee at the last session sought to agitate inquiry into the man. ner of the disposing of certain articles that were regarded as in the na- ture of heirlooms in the Executive Mansion Nothing came of it. though it was subsequently, published that chan dalier along with an elegant sidehoard that had been presented by the w. c. T. U. of Ohio to Mfrs Rutherford B. Hayes, had became the property of Washing ton saloonman and that he designed us- ing these things in a bar room filled with historical relics to be opened during the St. Louis Exposition.
 Republicans are extracting much com fort out of the reflection that the tar of the graft stick has smeared Democratic hands as we'll as blackened Republican paws and that therefore the minority par ty will be in no hurry to push an inuui' sition to finish.

Alaskan Boundary Decision Not Re-
 garded as Judicial.
 Ottawa. Oct. 22.-In the Senate today Sir Mckenzie Bowell, leader of the oppo- sition. asked for information concerning the Alaskan boundary award.
 MT. Scott, for the government, replied that the most important reason why the Canadian Commissioners did not approve of the award was that 1t was not judi cial decision. Lord Alverstone had in the first instance agreed that the center of the Portland canal should form the boun- dary lines. The four islands should have gone to either the one country or the other. depending on the position of the line through the Portland channel con- sequently Lord Aiverstone defiected the line so as to throw two of the islands in- to the United states and two in Canada; that Is Wales and Pearse Islands went to Canada and the two smaller to the United States. Sir Mackenzie Bowell said it was unfortunate that in every case when ne- gotiations have been taken place between the United States and England where Canada was affected, the United States diplomats had succeeded in securing ts- points of the Dominion.
 Now" said Mfr. Scott, "the United States will command Fort Simpson. In every case Canadian interests were sac rificad.s" a.z....
 Senator McMuiIcn said the decision would create zs211uch classification In Canada as there was in the Transvaal and Ireland. F .

THE rRAcEwELL MATTER.
Conrad and Bonaparte Call on the
 President.


 Washington. Oct. 2.-(Special.)-Ihe Presidents special counsel, Messrs. Con rad and Bonaparte. spent sometnlng over an hour at the White House today There is consequently much speculation as 10 whether the TraceweIl case was discuss ed. The fact that the two lawyers re- port severely reflected upon Tracewell even to the point of causing his res1gna- ton to appear imminent and that the President had subsequently, in enect de- clared Tracewell immune. makes rather interesting the version given out as to today's conference, the statement for the press being that methods rather than men was discussed. The problem now is the separation of men and methods where both quantities have been pointed out. as disRracefully wrong. The present great Republican comforter. the benefcent stat ute of limitations. which embraced Con gressman Littauer of New York, is what now permits an attempt at this process of segregation of rascais and their man. ner of playing graft.
