Warships to Proceed.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 29.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was informed by rep
resentative of the Associated Press of
the incorrectness of the report that
Vice Consul William G Magelssen, at
Beirut, Sryia, had been ASA ssinated.
The president expressed qualification
that Consul Magelssen had escaped
without injury from the assault. He
announced, however, that no change at
present would be made in the plans of
this government, and that the European
squadron, which he last night ordered
to proceed imediately to Beirut, would
proceed to it's ordered destination. 1t
can be said that the president and Sec
rotary Hay both regarded it advisable,
in view OF the present state of unrest
in Turkey, to have American war ves-
sells in Turkish waters.
For several hours President Roosevelt
and Secretary Hay were in conference.
They discussed every suggested phase
of the situation in Turkey. At the con-
clusion of the conference Secretary Hay
announced his intention of Immediately
returning to Washington.
The fact that Secretary Hay consid-
eres his presence in Washington neces-
sary at this time, indicates the serious
view he takes of the Turkish situation.
He had not expected to return to Wash
ingon for several weeks, but the devel-
opments in the Ottoman empire during
the past few days induced him to come
70 Oyster Bay for a conference with the
president, after which it was deemed
advisable by both that he should return
to Washington, at least for a couple
of weeks

COMPANY WAS WARNED.
Attempt to Hold Up Great Northern
Flyer Fails.

Butte, Aug. 31.-A Miner special
from Havre says:
What is supposed to have been an
attempt to hold up the westbound
Flyer of the Great Northern by Kid
Curry and his gang occurred last
night near Malta, soon after the train
had left the Malta water tank, and was
only frustrated by detectives riding on
the engine.
Three suspicious-looking characters
boarded the train, and two started to
climb over the tender, when they were
discovered by officers, who covered
them with guns and ordered them of.
They promptly slid off the side of the
tender. disappearing under cover OF
the night.
For three days the train crews, mail
clerks and express agents on passen'
ger trains between Glasgow and Havre

score of Pinkerton detectives and spe'
clal Great Northern men have been
riding up and down the line, anticipat'

The company received inside infor'

nation given the company here was 0;

Error in Cipher.

Constantinople, Aug. 29.-It trans
pires that the report that Vice Consul
Magelssen was killed is incorrect. An
unknown individual fired at him and
the bullet passed close to the consul,
but did not touch him.
The vail of Beirut visited Vice Con-
sul Magelssen, expressing his regrets
for the outrage, and ordered measures
for the arrest of the person who fired
the shot.
The error in stating that Vice Consul
Magelssen had been killed arose from
mistake in cipher telegram.
Washington, Aug. pa decidedly
new turn in the case of United States
Vice Consul William G. Magellssen,
at Beirut, Syria, who was reported to
have been assassinated last Sunday, de-
veloped when it became known that
the report was incorrect, and that, al
though Mr.. Magelssen had been shot
at, he had not even been injured.
1t is not thought, however, that the
decision to send Admiral Cotton e
squadron to Turkish waters will be
changed.

BOUNDARY LINE.
,raSKA COMMISSION READY
FOR FIRST MEETING.
whole Controversy, 1t Is Said, Turns
Upon the Efforts of Canada to Sc
ican--Representatives Will Resist
This Contention.

london, Aug. oU.-Secrotary OF War
11libu Root, ex-Secretary of State John
Foster Hannis Taylor anu Judge John
NJ Dickinson arrived at Liverpool on
+he Celtic today for the meetings of
the Alaskan boundary commission,
which will open in London September
They were received at Liverpool
Inv Mr.. Pethrick, assistant United
states dispatch agent, on behalf of
the American embassy. The party
came directly to London, and on their
arrival they were met by Secretary
Carter of the United States embassy.
Mr.. Root registered at the Hyde
Park hotel, while the other members
of the party established themselves at
the Carlton hotel. The Canadian COM
missioners also are here.
United States Ambassador Choate
has arranged to give dinner in honor
of Secretary Root, at which all the
American and British representatives
will be present The commissioners
are already familiar with the facts of
the case, which were filed several
months ago. At the first meeting of
the commissioners next Tuesday, the
Americans and Canadians will submit
their briefs, which will be a condensa-
ton of the facts and arguments re.
garding the Interpretation of the
treaty.
The commission will then announce
the day on which the oral arguments
will be heard.
Issue in Controversy.
The documents have not yet been
made public, but the Associated Press
correspondent learns that the whole
controversy centers upon Canada's eff
fort to acquire an outlet to the sea. 1t
is known authoritatively that the Can.
adam agent asserts that under the
Russo British treaty of 1926 the line
properly crosses numerous inlets, in
Guiding the headwaters of the Lynn
canal. The contention seems to be
that the inlets less than six miles wide
situated in the disputed region belong
to Canada.
United States Counsel Foster vigor.
orously opposes this view, holding that
the treaty clearly places the line
thirty miles inland, following the sin
uosities of the coast, thus separating
Canada from all the arms of the ocean
and putting Porcupine creek and the
gold district under American jurisdic
ton.
The American representatives are
confident that their position is unas
sailable. The commissioners expect
that the complete consideration of the
entire case will take less than two
months and that even should the com
mission fail to render a majority
award the facts will be clearly estab
lished. This will lead to an easier
settlement in the future.
Secretary Root intends to take ad
vantage of the recess between the fiji
ing of the briefs and the oral argu
ments to witness the British army ma
neuVers.

two citizens of Redwood Falls losing
in the neighborhood of $50, 900 on
margins in wheat and railroad
stocks, through it's local Office in
the Philbrick block, pulled down

orders, if there were any to come.
In fact, it was stated that Mr..

The council finally decided to

The council finally decided to
postpone action on the matter until
Monday evening, after it was re-
ported that no remonStrances had
been received from property owners
along Fourth street against the
order for a walk from Lincoln to
Washington avenue.
The award of the appraisers on
the alley in block Z, Hitchcock S
addition, was approved, S. L.
Pierce, representing the petitioners,
being present.
At the meeting of the council on
Monday evening Mr. Race appeared
in protest to the order, saying that
he was prevented Thursday even
ing by reason of illness in his
family. Mr.. Race stated that he
objected to the order for the reason
that he did not wish to compel some
people who could not afford to build
the walk, to construct the same
that he had been carrying on eX-
tenSive improvements about his
premises, and that Notwithstanding
the fact that he had paid nearly
81 900 in taxes since he commenced
his residence on Wyoming street,
not until this year has S. worth of
public money been expended on his
block. He was willing to build,
and would build the walk, as soon
as he could and public necessity
required, which might be next year,
but he wished to build it without
enforcing hardship upon his neigh
bors who might not be able to build
their walk. He challenged the
statement that he was not public
spirited, saying that his residence
property was always open to COM
parison with any other property in
the city, and that as far as giving
to public enterprises, etc., was con-
cerned, subscription lists always
showed that be kept up his end.
Other residents along the street
appeared for and against the propo-
sition, and when they were through
the council postponed action on the
matter until meeting to be held
tomorrow evening.
