CANADA SACRIFICED,
A NEWSPAPER VIEW.
Claims the Award Was a Shameful
CapituIatfOn.

Montreal, Oct. Recommending upon
the decision of the Alaska Boundary
Commission the Gazette tomorrow will
say: Canadians generally did not ex-
pect much from the arbitration COM
mission. The commission was not an
arbitration tribunal such as should be
permitted to decide weight of evidence.
no matter which side suffered The rep
resentatives of the United States were
hardly open to conviction"
Under the heading Canada is Sac
rificed," LIE Journal will say in part:
This result had been seen from the
beginning. In accepting the decision
OF a commission named equally by the
two parties to the case, England plain
ly indicated a disposition to no longer
sustain the contentious of Canada, but
to sacrifice them in the hope of secur-
ing the disappearance of a cause of con-
tinual friction with the United States.
To-day we find ourselves contemplat-
ing, not the decision of an arbitration
commission, but diplomatic arrange
ment wherein our clear rights have
been sacrificed without any return"
LIE Canada, which is the personal or
gan of the Canadian Minister of Ma
rine and Fisheries. will say: Lord AL
verstone, the representative of Great
Britain, has ranged himself on the side
of the Americans, and decided favor
ably to the Americans all along the
line, save for one little concession,
through the grace of which it is hoped
to excuse this shameful capitulation.
Through the treaty MIR. Chamberlain
signed with Mr.. Hay, Canada is COM
PEELED to accept the decision of the
tribunal and to submit to the voice of
the majority.
I'm word. Chamberlain has given
it to us in the neck. He gave Lord
Alverstone his lesson and Canada was
condemned before the case was heard.
We have one more instance of the be-
trayal of our interests to add to the
long list of British defections. The de-
cision Of the Alaska Commission is a
rude blow to the cause of imperialism
in Canada"

STATUES MADE OF
GERMANY'S ROYAL DEAD.

Berlin, Oct. 1S.-The statues of the
Emperor and Empress Frederick, OPP
posite the Brandenburg gate, were I'M
yelled to-day in the presence of En-
peror William and his Empress, the
Crown Prince, and other imperial per-
sonages, and a large assemblage of
ministers, officers and officials.
The statue of Emperor Frederick is
the first to be erected in Berlin. That
of the Empress, which is done in
white marble, represents her wearing
a robe of ermine, a crown upon her
head, and adorned with the sash of the
order of the Black Eagle, in accord
ance with the late Empress own
wishes.
After a repast, Emperor William de-
livered an address in which he said
he believed that he could best per-
petuate the memory of his parents
activity in the past by reading some
sentences which Councillor HIM Peter
had committed to paper in grateful
love, and reverence of the dead.
Having read these extracts, which re-
ferred to the tragic fate of Emperor
Frederick, and the sufferings of his
iconsort, the Emperor eulogized the
life of his parents as a happy augury
for the future Of the empire, and
the dynasty. His majesty then called
upon his guests to empty their glasses
in silence to the memory of the dead.

MEXICANS EXCITED
MANY HARD HIT BY AMERICAN
BANKS FAILURE.
BIG WITHDRAWALS OF CASH
WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
TROUBLE, SAYS HUNT.

Within Last Week More Than
SG0O,OO0 Was Taken Out by De-
pOsitOrs-Such an Amount More
Than Any Bank In Mexico Could

tors About $500, OOO-AI other
American Banks Prepared for
Emergency.
Mexico City, Oct. 1S.-That portion
of the community doing business with
the various American banks in this
city have been excited over the Inter-
national Bank and Trust Company's
failure, which had an office in New
York and here.
President Hunt, in an interview, says
that the cause of the closing was an
enormous withdrawal of funds by de-
positors. Within the past week depos-
itors took out more than 100000. He
does not believe any bank in Mexico
is prepared to weather such a heavy
and unexpected withdrawal of cash.
The banks insolvency was demon
strated Friday when the German
Transatlantic Bank of this city sent
in a check of $4,000 for collection and
the International Bank and Trust
Company was compelled to admit that
it had no funds to meet it. The cheek
was sure to have been again presented
at the beginning of banking hours Sat-
urday, hence the officials decided to
close and announce voluntary liquida-
ton.
The deposits range from small sums
up to amounts of many thousands of
dollars and consequently many people
are in financial distress. The amount
due depostors is some 100000. All
other American banks are prepared
for emergency. but any extensive lack
of confidence is not anticipated to-day.
There is some talk among American
residents to the effect that all Ameri-
can banks should combine in one
strong institution with $6,OOO,OOO or ST.
900, 900 capital.
Don Jacinto Palleres, an old and re-
spected lawyer here. has been appoint
ed receiver of the broken bank.
The bank expects to make a detailed
statement of its resources and liabili-
ties tomorrow, and this is anxiously
awaited by depositors.
President Hunt of the International
Bank and Trust Company left tonight
for New York city, where he expects
to raise funds for the relief of deposit

DANGER AVERTED,
CASSINI THINKS
Russia Won't Leave Manchuria
without Guarantees


Paris, Oct. 1S.-Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador to the United
States, has been interviewed on the
Far Eastern question. The ambassa-
dor said that the danger of a conflict
which was real few days back, SEEM
ed to have been averted, and that if
ever a conflict came it would not be
provoked by Russia. Continuing Count
Cassini said:
Our rights in Manchuria are I'M
deniable. We made the country,
which until quite recently was a mere
haunt for bandits. We have now a
vigilant police there, and, moreover,
we have built the railroad. This does
not mean that we intend to annex
Manchuria, but having incurred enor-
nous expenditures and possessing i'm
mense interests there we insist that
these be safeguarded, and we expect
to realize our legitimate benefits.
THE Powers understand this so we'll,
that none. except possibly Japan, Sc
riously contemplated insisting that the
evacuation be effected Oct. 8. Russia
cannot evacuate Manchuria before OBJ
tanning the guarantee to which she
has a right from China, and all Eu-
rope including even Great Britain, rec
ognizing that their interests are unit
ed with those of Russia"

Fort Riley, Kan, Oct 1S.-The
largest military camp ever formed in
this country in time of peace is now
located here on the government resar-

has yet been arranged, and prac ically
every situation a soldier can be called
upon to face in time of war, save the
two most disagreed ble-danger of death
and lack of rations-is comprised in the
programme.
1t is safe to say from a sanitary
point of view no better camp was ever
desired. Every possible arrangement
has been made by Maj. Baker, chi IF
quartermaster, who has laid miles of
water pipe, built bath houses and pro-
vided seemingly for everything
The work for tomorrow will be an
attack upon a rear guard. This is to
be commanded by Col Duncan of the
Sixth Infantry, which is to march out
early in the morning and at 1890 to
start back to camp.
As he starts Gen. Barry, with the re-
mainder of the troops, will be after
him and Col. Duncan must get into
camp the best he can. The roads have
dried out again, and the weather can
not be surpa ssed, although the nights
are somewhat cool.

Paris Oct. 1S.-The reopening OF
parliament next Tuesday after a va
cation of four months duration excites
little attention here as there are few
important issues in sight. The main
features of the policy relating to

San Francisco, Oct. 18.-Dr. August
Greth. who for a year past has been
working on an airship, to-day surprised
the residents of San Francisco by sail
ing over their heads for two hours, di-
recting his machine almost at will and
demonstrating that in many essentials
he has solved the problem of aerial
navigation. DR.. Greth had previously
tested his airship by making ascen-
slons with the balloon held captive by
long rope. but to-day was the first
time he had gone skyward free.
The ascension was made from a lot
almost in the heart of the city and DR..
Greth attempted to encircle a towering
newspaper building about a mile east
ward, but found the high currents too
strong for his power, and then turned
in an opposite direction. The winds
carried him oceanward and for a time
he lowered over the vicinity of the
Golden Gate. making various success
ful trials of his steering gear
The currents threatened to take him
out over the Pacific ocean. and he de-
cided to make a landing on the parade
grounds Of the Presidio military reser-
walton, but made the mistake of letting
out too much gas, and he landed in
the bay about 200 feet from shore
The crew of the life-saving station
rescued the aeronaut and the flying
machine, which was little damaged by
the unfortunate termination of the
voyage. The balloon of Greth is ci-
gar-shaped and has a capacity of 50 900
feet of gas. with lighting capacity
of 1880 to 1000 pounds. The car is
similar in construction to that used by
Santos Dumont, and weighs about 500
pounds. DR.. Greth expects to make an
other ascension in a few days.

with the Virginia shore.
About one-third of a mile from the

LOST MILLIONAIRE
VALUABLE FIND.
Reward of $4,000 Has Been offered
for Him Alive.

Briston, Tenn, Oct. 1S.-Five days
have elapsed since e. L. Wentz, the
son of Philadelphia millionaire, mys-
teriously disappeared in the mountains
of Wise county, Virginia, and notwith-
standing that a party of a thousand
men has been securing the mountains
for four days, no clew has been gained
as to what has become of him.
Daniel L. Wentz. a brother Of the
missing man, has increased the reward
for finding the young man from 5000
to $4,000, provided he shall be returned
alive. Should he be found dead, the
reward will be $4,000. The father has
been summoned from Philadelphia.
The theory is held that he has been
murdered as a matter of spite by ma
rauders on the property of the coal
company, which he represented, but it
is not impossible that he is being held
by kidnappers for a reward.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1S.-Capt Nelson
of the British Transatlantic steamer

from Liverpool. reports having fallen in
with the coasting schooner Rubie and
Bessie, with all on board in weakened
condition from lack of food.

Capt. Marshall of the schooner said
he sailed from Georgetown, S. c., on
Sept. II for Patchogue, L. I. Besides
his crew, he had with him his wife,
four children and a passenger. Adverse
winds drove the schooner out of her
course and sails were lost in gales. The
entire party had been without food for
four days The members Of the crew
were so weak that they raised distress

Much Excitement and Prisoner, In
Panic, Hanged Himself in His
Cell With a Sheet.
st. Louis. Oct. 1S.-It is believed by
the police that the mystery of the MUIR
der of Mrs. Kate Lauman, whose dead
body was found lying by the roadside
near Normandy, Thursday, has been
partially solved through the suicide to-
day of John Williams, a negro, arrest
ed late last night as a suspect.
Williams, who said he recently had
come from Mississippi, made several
attempts to sell revolver yesterday
and this aroused suspision. He was
taken into custody and placed in the
Clayton Jail last night. He asserted
his innocence, but finally under severe
questioning made the remark: well,
there are others in this; I'll tell you
more about it tomorrow"
This afternoon a small fire occurred
near the Jail and caused some excite
ment. After it had been extinguished
Sheriff Hencken 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 be-
lief that mob was approaching the
jail to lynch him, and he quickly
hanged himself with sheet.

New York, Oct. 1S.-John Alexander
Dowie, who calls himself Elijah, the
Restorer," faced his first New York
audience to-day, and although Madison
Square Garden was thronged at the
afternoon and evening meetings, and
thousands were turned away from the
doors, he found himself confronted
with what he called a new experience,
when thousands, having evidently sat
isfied their curiosity, threw the meet
ing into confusion by their sudden ex-
odus before the ceremonies had more
than fairly begun.
Commands to close the doors and
prevent exit were unavailing. and the
prophet gave vent to displays of con-
siderable petulance on finding that it
was one thing to gather a great New
York crowd. but quite another affair
to command it's interest after the first
demands of curiosity had been salts

things Mr.. Grout says:
Il have been reproached as a traitor

clear to me that this contest had lost
its pretence of a non-partisan discus
sion of local questions. that those who
were with me had abandoned the only
principle which held us together; that
the fusion party had become essentially
Republican, then inevitably l go with
the Democratic party.

forsaken the principle upon which we
stood, not 1 who do So"
