st. Paul, Oct. ia special to the
Globe from Montreal, Que, says:
The news that a compromise has
been agreed upon by the Alaskan tri-
bunal %grievously disappoints the Cana
afans, Notwithstanding that 1t was not
wholly unexpected. j.. Israel Tarte,
who resigned as Dominion minister Of
public works a few months ago and is
now a leader Of the Conservative par
ty, and E. P. Leblanc, e~x-speaker of
the Quebec legislature, when seer by
The Globe correspondent, agreed in
saying:
IF we have obtained a part it seems
to US that the compromise will have
to be accepted with good grace, and
that there will not be any trouble. But
If later dispatches show that we have
no part, public sentiment probably
will run high, and it should not be
surprising if Canada should refuse to
accept the decision"
Both averred that in such a case
they would be in favor of making a
vigorous and immediate protest.
The award of the Alaskan boundary
tribunal, as officially announced in
London Saturday, sustained all Amer
lean contentious but one, which gave
to Canada control of Portland canal.

SUSPECT COMMITS SUICIDE.
Negro Jailed for Mysterious Murder
Hangs Himself in His Cell.

st. Louis. Oct. 19.-It is believed by
the. police that the mystery Of the
murder of Mrs. Kate Lauman, whose
dead body was found lying by the
roadside near Normandy Thursday.
has been partially solved through the
suicide Sunday of John Williams, a
negro arrested late Saturday night as
a suspect.
Williams. who said he had recently
come from Mississippi, made several
attemDts to sell a revolver SATURDAY.
and this aroused suspicion. He was
taken into custody and placed in the
CLAYTON jail Saturday night. He as
serted his innocence. but finally, under
severe questioning. made the remark:
We'll, there are others in this. TIL
tel you more about it tomorrow"
Sunday forenoon a small fire oc-
CURED near the iail and caused some
excitement. After it had been ex-
tinguished Sheriff Hancken went to
Williams cell to question him and
found the prisoner dead. He had
hanged himself. 1t is thought that
the excitement caused by the fire
alarmed Williams into the belief that
a mob vas approaching the Jail to
lynch him and he quickly hanged him
self with a sheet. His body was
warm when discovered.

OF NO GREAT IMPORTANCE.
Opinion Of Canadian Paper on Value
Of Canada's Share.

Opinion Of Canadian Paper on Value
Of canada's Share.
Toronto, Ont, Oct. 19.-In an ar
ticle on the reported decision of the
Alaskan boundary commission the
Globe (Government) makes a point of
the value to Canada Of Pearse and
Wales islands, the latter practically
commanding Port Simpson, the prob
able terminus i. of the new Canadian
transcontinental railway, and says the
decision giving these islands to Cana
da is of no great Importance. The
Globe continues:
"No doubt one of the British COM
missioners shrank from the dangerous
deadlock that would have ensued had
both sides refused to give way in re-
gard to the ownership Of the head of
the Lynn canal. The fact that Cana
dian goods are bonded across the coast
strips makes the Lynn canal question
less important than it otherwise would
be. Canada will nevertheless be deep
ly disappointed with the decision in
regard to the ownership of the arms
of the sea in the disputed territory.
The finding is a compromise in which
neither side gets all it set out to Sc
cure. The decision is final. however,
and there will be no barking back.
Everv foot of boundary line is now
settled forever. with no possibility of
further strife"
After asserting that the terms of the
arbitration ware most unfair and that
the United States showed slight con-
fidencarin tho judicial soundnes of its
claims by refusing to accept a neu-
trail arbitrator. the World (opposition)
says:
Imperial statesmen, or rather Eng
fish statesmen, for they do not appear
to have grasped the meaning of i'm
perialism, regard the friendship of the
United States beyond price provided
this country has to pay for It,"
Other Canadian papers are bitter in
their expression of regret at the tri-
bunal's decision.

Failure Of the International Bank and
Trust Company Announced.
Mexico City, Oct. 19.-That portion
Of the community doing business with
the various American banks in this
city have been excited over the fail
ure of the International Bank and
Trust company, which has an Office in
New York and here. Recent rumor
had pointed to trouble coming for the
institution, and President Hunt in an
interview says that the cause of the
closing was nothing more nor less
than enormous withdrawals of funds
by depositors. Within the past week
depositors took out more than $780,
900. The banks insolvency was
demonstrated Friday when the Ger
man Transatlantic bank Of this city
sent in a check of $4,000 for collec-
ton and the International Bank and
Trust company was compelled to adj
NIT that it had no funds to meet it.
The check was sure to have been
again presented at the beginning of
banking hours Saturday, hence the
officials decided to close and an
nounc voluntary liquidation. Many
people are in financial distress on ac-
count of the locking up of their funds.
The amount due depositors is some
$780, 900. All other American banks
are prepared for emergency. but any
extensive lack of confidence Is not
anticipated.

Wounds Three Others.

Mexico, Mo-, Oct. 19.-Abel Mitchell,
a negro, aged twenty, known as "Son-
ny Boy" killed Jim Hayes, another
negro, and wounded three others at a

night he took his revolver, went to
the dance and began firing into the

load in his pistol and the smoke had
cleared away it was found that Jim
Hayes was dead, a colored girl named
"Snow'' Merrill was shot through the
stomach; Bonnie Phillips was shot
through the ye, and James Barker, a
negro from Moberly, was shot through
the arm. All of the wounded prob
ably will recover. Mitchell escaped.
He is reported to be we'll armed and
will probably fight if overtaken.

lars for Finding Him Alive.
Bristol. Tenn, Oct. 19.-It is now
five days since E. L. Wentz, the young
Philadelphia millionaire, so mysterious
ly disappeared in the mountains of
Wise county, Va, and Notwithstanding
a party Of 1000 men have been scour-
ing the mountains for four days, no
clew has been gained as to what be-
came of him.
The missing mans brother. Daniel
L. Wentz, has increased the reward
for the finding of the young man from
$4,000 to SIS, 5000, provided he is re-
turned alive. The reward if the young
man should be found dead, is SIS, 900.
The most plausible theory is that
Young Wentz has been murdered in
the mountains as a matter of spite
work for his firm hand in dealing with
trespassers on the lands of the Vir-
ginia Coal and Iron company. It is
not improbable. however, that kidnap-
pers are holding him for ransom.

BABY SAVED HER LIFE.
Mrs. Elizabeth Marvin Wounded by an
Italian Woman.

JCallan woman.
New York, Oct. 19.-The police re-
serves of Brooklyn were last night
searching the swamps and fields
around Bath Beach for Antoinette
Dellamotta. a young Italian woman,
who fired two shots at Mrs. Elizabeth
Marvin, both of which took effect.
Mrs. Marvin was taken to the Norwe-
gian hospital in a critical condition.
At the time of the shots were fired
Mrs. Marvin was holding a baby in
her arms. 1t is thought this saved
her life, as the Italian woman did not
want to kill the child and fired low.
The shooting occurred at the home of
Mrs. Margaret Stone. where Mrs. Mar
vim called to engage Mrs. Stone to do
washing. Two months ago Mr.. Mar
win had dispossessed the Dellamotta
woman from a fiat he owned, and the
italian believed Mrs. Marvin was re-
sponsfble for 1t.
