Parkhurst Says His Methods Are Be
 low the Circus Standard
 New York. Oct 21.-Rev Dr Charles H. ParI1hurst yesterday sent the fol- lowing open letter to Mir DoNie:
 Rev John Alexander DoWie:
 Dear Sir-I do not want to be pre- suming, but doubt if 1t is any more presumptive in me to come and cldrify you than it is for you to come and try to clarify New York; and l do not know which of us has taken the heay- fer contract. I attended your service at Madison Square Gardenslast even ing. and I went determined to enjoy7it if I could, and to be benefited by it. and to go away and refute some of the charges that I had heard alleged against you But it was of no use: your behavior on the platform crushed every throb of sympathy had with you I never heard from public speaker such discharge of effer- yescent wrath and coarse invective. 1 went to hear you preach the Gospel and you preached Dowie, Zion City and ..stinkpot.' ashamed Of you and almost ashamed to be in your audience. It was a long way below the standard even of the circuses that I have attended in the same garden. The only consolation I could derive was that it was so abominable and so far beyond the. bounds of the respecta- ble that even those in your eongrega- tion who did not know what Christian ity is would have no idea that it had anything to do with what you were saying.
 Of course the ridiculousness of the performance was only enhanced by the immensity of your pretensions If you claimed to be only an ordinary man there might be some hope for you. even with what YOU call the ''rabble,' but the ralbble is discriminating and can discriminate as keenly as the keen est between a prophet and a juggler, between an Elijah and a mountebank.
 say this in no spirit of anger, but either your head is twisted or your heart infected. or you have biundered badly in your method. You cannot bully people into Zionism nor black guard them into hhe kingdom of heav en. L hope you will take this in the kindly spirit in which 1t. is offered.
 Yours sincerely.

london Editors Make Comments
 on Boundary Decision
REGRETrABLE, BUT HONORABLE

That's the Way Most of Them Look at
 It-The Fact that Chief Justice Al
 verstone Signed the Award is
 Enough for Them Criticize the Can
 adian Commissioners for the Way
 They Acted.
 London, Oct 21.-The comment of hhe afternoon newspapers here on the Alaska boundary decision is similar to that of the morning papers. Re grettabIe but honorable" sums up the general tenor. The St James's Gazette says it considers the fact that Chief Justice AlverstoIle signed the award to be proof of the correctness thereof, and adds:
 .swe have the fullest confidence, therefore, that the decision we deplore was absolutely required by the justice of the case.
 The St James Gazette regrets that the Canadian commissioners published an explanation of their position, ap- bearing to cast a reflection on fnelr collea gues. and the Pail Mall Gazette comments on the lack of dignity and eelf-possessfon shown by the Canadian commissioners in declining to sign the decision and declaring the finding to be an "unjudicial one.
 Victoria. B. C., Oct 21.-British Co- ftlnbians have heard the news of the settlement of the Alaskan boundary question with a feeling bordering on disgust at what is popufarly termed a oF CN do byYS Britain on the altar of political expe- diency." The people of western Can ada are bitter because of this and, the general trend of opinion seems to be that the action of the British commis- sioners has started a wave of popular opinion which may be the opening wedge of the weaning of Canada from the patriotic reliance upon the mother country which has marked the Domin- ion in the past
 The action of the Canadian commis- sfoners. Sir Louis Jette and MT Ayles- worth, in refusing to sign the agree ment is approved.
 The people feel that it is again Compromise" a dinlomatic settle rnent arranged by the British diplomats and acceded to by the British commits sfoners for the sake of maintaining friendship between Great Britain and the United States The British com missioner, Lord .Alverstone. is criti- cised on all sides flor his action in agreeing with the Canadian commits sioners as they state in their mani festo. and then agreeing to a conpro- mise after discussion with the Ameri- can commissioners

 Portland, Ore, Oct 21.-The Ore gonian to-day says: The government has unearthed a stupendous land graft ring that has been carrying on business in every we'll timbered area on the Pacific slope. This ring not only has acquired base lands, by dummies, and other fraudulent means, but has deba uched state land officials, making them hirelings or part ners in the business; has maintained in the general land office at Washington agents whose duties were to leak in formation about proposed reserves and other profitable matters. and, by the use of money, has influenced placing of reserved boundaries to it's own in terest''
 The central figures of this conspiracy are said to be in San Francisco. Will liam J. Burns, in the secret service of the treasury department, and A. B.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
IMMENSE QUANTITIES OF FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES ON SALE.
Packers Disappointed i'm Expectations
of Higher Prices for Canned Goods
Light Grain Arrivals.

visit TO Commission row yesterday de-
velOped the fact that there were larger
quantities of fruits and vegetables on sale
than ever before have been offered on this
market in August. Arrivals of watermelons
and cantaloupes are large. Receipts OF ap-
pies also large and inferior fruit is rot
ting badly. Pears and plums are in abund-
ant supply and commission merchants urge
sales on all applicants Lemons are in good
supply and move freely. Stocks of oranges
seldom low at present Bananas,
which were scarce a week ago, are again
plentiful. Irish potatoes are coming in free
ly aud the same is true OF sweet potatoes,
cabbage. onions and like products. Prices
In nearly all lines are weaker than at any
time I'm many months, concessions on quo
tations being made to effect large sales. The
ceipts of poultry continue To increase, but
so far consumption takes all arrivals and
but little Is shipped 10 Eastern markets.
The egg market Is short In supply. Not Tor
many years have eggs been as scarce and
prices as strong as at present. Butter rules
steady, with a good demand for a choice
article. The wholesale grocers are having
a big trade The demand for coffees and
sugars is excellent. with tendency TO high
er prices or sugars. IL is difficult as yet. to
state the condition OF the canned goods
market. Old stocks are pretty well ex-
hausted. New stock green peas are arriving
and the canning of tomatoes is under way
Receipts OF tomatoes are increasing and
very fine tomatoes were sold at soc bushel
yesterday All surplus stock goes to the can
ming establishments. Higher prices for
canned goods are not developing as the
packers had anticipate ted Flour is hardly as
active in the early part Of the month.
Prices carry q firm tone and under present
conditions in the wheat market an advance
would not be a surprise.
