Navigation in Wrangell Narrows IS dangerous, and it is proposed to estab' fish a war department telegraph station in the vicinity, so that marine accidents may be reported. Gen. Greedy and the officers of the signal corps are satisfied however. that an ocean cable could not be maintained iu these narrows on ac- count of the swift currents and the character of the bottom. Consequently it is proposed to establish two cable stations. one above and the other be- low the Narrows. and to connect the two by a land telegraph line.

The School of Mines of the State University of Washington gives course each winter for the benefit of prospectors and mining mem in general. It is the aim of the institution to make this course thoroughly practical. The location of the University in Seattle gives exceptional advantages in the way of studying mining, milling and smelt- ing methods at places where these operations are being carried on. Visits for the purpose of study are made by the students to the smelters at Everett and Tacoma and to the United States assay office in Seattle.

We Never Knock.

The article which appeared in the News last week, taken from "Pointers," was printed in the Daily Record-Miner on Saturday last. All due credit was given both the News and Pointers, with the following thrown in:
 "Now we cannot understand why Mir, Hoop credited the foregoing to 'Polnt- CTS for there is no such paper. We are suspicious that this is pointer ln disguise for prominent business man in Douglas. Some one has been tat ting"
 Now. we wish to state for the benefit of Mir. Frame, of the Record-Miner, that no one has been "tattling." We never knock. If Mir. Frame has crow to pick with Douglas business man, why don't he pull his own feathers? Or is he like preacher we once knew, who used the home paper for the pub lication of columns of free church notices. but took his bazaar posters to an opposition office in another town to be printed, taking the precaution to have the office impriat left off, for fear the knowledge of bis Iittleness might queer his show? We hardly think Mir. Frame is as small as that. He just thought he "smelled a rat"

A DISCOUNTED BRITON.
Cycle Maker Displeased with United States
Tariff on His Wares.

London, Oct 1O-As contribution to the fiscal
discussion the managing director Of one Of the
largest bicycle factories in the United Kingdom
writes to The Globe" inclosng letter which
he recently sent to the United States Consul at
Nottingham. The letter follows:
Dear Sir: Yours of the oath ultimo informs us
that you are instructed by the government at
washington to ask US for certain informa ton
regarding our business but as we formerly sold
from tIOOOO to $4,000 worth of goods annually
TO the United States which your government
shut out with 10 per cent duty we think IL is
Just Ike Yankee cheek to now ask us for in
formation respecting affairs Yours truly
The director continues his letter to The
Globe describing in detail how the export cycle
trade OF England has been ruined by the Amer
lean tariff. He says he believes that the Amer
lean bicycle combination is urging the govern
ment to get the latest information regarding
the English cycle trade in order that il may
have another try at good old England" The
writer concludes by declaring that the Ameri-
cans and Germans are capturing the English
colonial trade with cheap stuff imitation rub
bish and fraudulent invoices. We do not re-
qutre protection but do want TO see II used as a
weapon to make other powers lower their duties
against us which they certainly will do If paid
back in their own coin. We want preferential
treatment Of our colonies and this we cannot
get unless we give something in return which
can be done only by arrangement Of our

M0NASTIR VILAYET PACIFIED.
Last of Insurgent Bands Defeated After a
Sharp Fight

Monastir. oct. 1O-The military operations in
the western part of the Monastr vilayet are
nearly finished Chakalaroff at the head Of a
band of hundred insurgents remains at Cas-
toria. and Arsoff with thirty followers. is hiding
Lake Okhrida
The last remaining band in this district was
annihilated on October Is after a desperate fight.
The band. which numbered ninety-three mem
bers, was lurking in the mountains of Peristeri,
which divide the highroad from Resna TO Mon
astir from Lake Presba. In the night two Turk
ish detachments, one from the east and the
other from the west, set out for the hiding place
of the insurgents. The detachment from the
east found the Land strongly posted on precip-
itous ridge. The insurgents began to roll huge
powders down the mountain, killing four and
wounding three of their besegers. The Turks
maintained a steady fire they pressed up
ward.
After desperate conflict had been carried on
several hours and while the issue was still
doubtful. the Turkish detachment from the west
reached the crest of the ridge. The Bulgarians
were thus placed between two fires. They held
a hurried consultation and decided to rush the
rocks on the mountainside. The insurgents sue
ceeded in forcing the troops to fall back TO the
less preCipitouS slopes of the mountain but
lost siXty-five killed and number wounded in
doing so. The remainder OF the band escaped
but to-day arrived here and surrendered and
received amnesty.
Several bands. not peasants. but mostly Bull
garans from the principality. have had ercoun-
tiers with Turkish troops near FlOrina. losing
more than hundred men.

THE ANGLO-FRENCH AGREEMENT.
Details of the Negotiations-King Edwards
Share in the Treaty.

Paris oct. 1O-Great prominence is given by
the "Matin" to-day to the announcement of the
Anglo-French arbitration treaty. The paper
says
We are in position to say that one of the
most interesting diplomatic instruments in inter
national history is on the way to conclusion be-
tween France and England. The basis Of the
treaty which is about TO be signed, and which.
perhaps, would already have been signed if the
British ministerial crisis had not occurred, con-
sists in this
BY common accord the two powers decide to
submit for the future the greater part OF the
differences arising between them, either COM
nercial political. 10 arbitration. The diplo-
matists engaged in the negotiations have ar
ranged the manner for conducting this arbitra-
ton and the nature Of the future htigations
which shall he submitted
We understand that they have agreed to ex-
clude pas causes of difference of an interna-
far as practicable all differences of the future
French and English diplOmatists will now be
formally submitted TO settlement by arbitra-
ton.
The "Matin' then sets forth the importance Of
the exchange of visits between King Edward
and President Loubet in bringing about the
treaty, and continues
These negotiations. which. we repeat within
few days will reach a tangible and immediate
conclusion, have been conducted mainly by NJ
Paul Cambon. the French Ambassador at Lon
don, and Lord Lansdowne, and have been char-
acterized by most concilating spirit
We are able to state that King Edward in
sisted upon being kept informed regarding the
progress Of the negotiations, and that while re-
manning strictly within his constitutional limits,
he has manifested his personal pleasure in
seeing their successful conclusion.
The signing of the treaty Will occur when GER
tain details of a secondary character are ar
ranged, and the treaty will then be submitted
for ratification to the French and English par
liaments. We have no doubt of its speedy rati-
fication. and the French and English diploma
lists thus have the honor OF having first intro
duced into international relations that exalted
principle Of public order-that differences shall
be regulated by tribunal Of justice and not by
force.
