These were the questions which
troubled her. filled her waking thoughts
and sent her restless to bed.
And while she still waited she be-
came the victim of yet another conf
dence, this time from a man again, but
middle-aged and iron-gray.
you look like a sensible little girl, -
he began, abruptly. Are you?'
Il hope So" She smiled
Then, although we don't know much
of each other, you'll forgive me for ask
ing you question or two which may
seem beyond my limit, believing that
impertlnence is the last thing prompt
ing me-"
Suddenly arrested in interest, the
girl nodded.
''Then, will you tell me if you ever
get below the surface, as it were, IN
those long and seemingly confidential
talks you have with our young curate?''
Have you a right to ask?'
Il have at any rate large interest
at stake"
That sounds almost the same thing.
/ am afraid of what may and may not
say; but | don't see at this moment any
reason why l should not speak the
truth"
''Then you have?"
Sometimes" she admitted.
Once in particular, perhaps?"
81 must not tell you"
"What are you going to do?" gasped
the girl.
81 am going to tell our curate how
matters stand between his mother and
myself; he is between-and-"
''She didn't bind you to secrecy"
II have forgotten it if she did. And
if she did, she will forgive me by re-
suits or don't know her"

NOT A FAIR DEAL
CANADA'S PROTEST IN ALASKA
BOUNDARY MATTER.
Meeting OF the Cabinet Discusses
the Subject, and Afterward One
of the Ministers Gives Out an
Interview Saying United States
Has Not Kept Agreement.

Ottawa, Ont. Feb. 24.-The Alaska
boundary commission was discussed at
a meeting of the cabinet during the
day. In an interview with a represen-
tative of the Associated Press a cabinet
minister said that while it might not
be proper to say that protest had been
made by Canada against the nomina-
ton of Senator Turner and Senator
Lodge to be representatives of the Uni
ted States on the commission a remon-
STRANGE had been made on the ground
that Canada was not being fairly treat
ed in the matter.
When Canada gave way to arbitra-
tion by tribunal, as now proposed, it
was with the understanding that three
judges of the United States supreme
court would be appointed to sit on the
case, with British and Canadian judges
of repute on the other side. The United
States, he said, had failed to carry out
this clause. Instead, the United States
has appointed, particularly III Senators
Lodge and Turner, men who cannot be
called Impartial jurists of repute," as
required by the treaty. On the contra
ny, they are looked upon as men who
are strongly antagonistic to Canada e
claims. Until an answer is obtained
to this remonstrance Canada will not
name her commissioner.

A NEW DEMAND.
Germany Asks Venezuela to Pay
Money Before Due.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The German
government, through its representative,
Baron Won Sternberg, has made re-
quest of Mr.. Bowen for the immediate
payment OF the 5 800 pounds which it
is stipulated in the protocol on Feb. Is
should be paid within 80 days from
that date, as preliminary to the rails
ing OF the blockade against Venezuelan
ports and the agreement to send the
question of preferential treatment of
the blockading nations to The Hague
for determination. Mr.. Bowen prompt
ly declined to accede to the request, but
informed Baron Sternberg that, as pro-
vided in the protocol, the money would
be paid to the German representative
at Caracas 80 days from Feb. 10, which
would be on the 18th day of March.
The reason that animated the German
government in making the request is
not disclosed here, nor is Mr.. Bowen
aware of it. The matter, however, has
some significance, perhaps, in view of
the fact that the ships taken by the
Germans during the blockade have not
yet Oeen returned to Venezuela.

Officers of Cutter Service to Lose
Source of Revenue.

Officers of Cutter Service to Lose
Source of Revenue.
Washington, Feb. 24.-The treasury
department has decided to forbid Off
GERS of the revenue cutter service to
trade with natives and other persons at
places visited by vessels of the service.
The order will apply particularly, of
course, to the officers on the Alaska sta
ton, where it has been customary since
establishment of the service to carry a
small stock of trade goods on board ship
for the purpose of exchanging them
with the Indians and Esquimos for furs
and other articles. Complaints have
been made to the treasury department
that this privilege has been abused,
many officers having traded with ma
tives as a commercial proposition, dis
posing of furs and other articles at a
great profit after returning to the
United States. The complaints have
been made almost invariably by whal-
ers cruising in the Arctic and by fur
dealers in Seattle, San Francisco and
other cities.

GRANITE IS MINERAL.
Important Decision Handed Down
by Federal Supreme
Court.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The supreme
court has affirmed the decision of the
court of appeals of the Ninth circuit in
the case of the Northern Pacific against
J. A. Soderberg, brought originally in
the state of Washington. The question
involved was whether granite is "min-
eral" within the meaning Of the North
ern Pacific grant, SO as not to pass to
the company thereby.
The circuit court of appeals held that
the land was mineral" and therefore
could not pass to the company, and that
decision is sustained. The decision
affects land of an estimated value OF
81, O00, 900, involving all lands within
the limits of the grant which contains
building stone.

LADRONES ARE BUSY.
Appear at Cainta, One of the Old
Battlefields.


Battlefields.
Manila, Feb. 23.-A force OF ladrones
under General San Miguel have reap
peared in Rial province. They avoid
ed an engagement with the main force
in the south, but captured three small
detachments of constabulary. The en-
envy surrounded the towns of Cainta
and Taytay, eleven miles east OF Ma.
Mia Saturday and captured thirty
scouts and ten men of the consta bulary,
whom they set free.
Today Inspector McIlwaine, at the
head of the constabulary, was surprised
and captured near Montalban, sixteen
miles northeast OF Manila. The la
dropes promised to release them if the
constabulary would surrender their
arms. While they were comforting on
this point, McIlwaine made dash for
liberty, and he and all the constabulary
made their escape.
When the news of the temperance
of General San Miguel's force reached
Manila reinforcements of scouts and
constabulary were hurried into Rial
province. Gen. Allen and Col. Scott
went to Antipolo and assumed COM
mand of the forces there. They met
with small detachments of the enemy
and few skirmishes took palce. They
were, however, unable to locate the
main body of Ladrones. Gen. Allen
and Col. Scott are continuing the pur-
suit and hope to overtake the released
prisoners.
1t is said that Gen. San Miguel's
force consists of 800 men, armed and
uniformed. The zone of Ladrone activ-
ity extends from Caloocan, four miles
north of Manila, eastward to the noun
tains and skirting the north.

Enforcement OF Immigration Law
Causing Greater Care.
Berlin, Feb. 23.-Because of United
States Commissioner Williams close
application of the law in inspecting i'm
migrants, Herr BALM, director general
of the Hamburg American Steamship
company, and DR.. Weigand, director
general of the North German Lloyd
line, have directed their agents in mid
die and southern Europe to take no one
who is unable to fulfill the require
ments of the authorities at New York.
These instructions are not merely
formal, but are due to the conviction
that the companies would suffer if they
were compelled to deport people numer-
ously during the heavy immigration
during the months OF May and June.
