WASHINGTON LETTER

Quite a little camp is springing up
in Antelope Valley, near the Wedekind
and Blackburn mine.
There is a disposition in certain
quarters to obstruct the ratification
OF the new treaty Secretary Hay has
just made with Great Britain provid-
ing for a final settlement of the AL
Morgan and McLaurin Of Mississippi
have both informed your correspond
ent of their intention to oppose the
treaty, although they would % allow
a direct quotation of their reasons
which will be presented later in an
executive session of the Senate. Rep
resentative Jones of Washington has
introduced a resolution in the House
expressing disapproval Of the ar
rangement and Senator Turner had
presented to the Senate a set of reso-
lutions forworded by the chamber of
ommerce of Seattle voicing similar
Elections, it being feared that the pro-
posed commission will be susceptible
OF use by Great Britain in confrma-
ton of her position that the Alaskan
boundary is in~determinate. The terms
of the treaty have not been made
known, however, and conservative
statesmen are awaiting an opportunity
to study it's provisions before passing
judgment. In a general way it is
known that the convention provides
that a combination of three American
and three British, or Canadian, jurists
is to be appointed to determine the
boundary and settle for all time the
dispute. If the six jurists cannot
reach an agreement the status of the
dispute will not, in the judgment of
Mr.. Hay, be affected.
A curious case has arisen in the
State Department affecting the citi-
zenship of Captain Fl. III. Marmaduke.

This will be discovered if we go back

preparation for the Sabbath, when
work was eased all over the land. In

laws laid it down that sabbath shall
be observed from Saturday noon till
light appears on Monday morning.
Johnson, commenting upon this, says
noon is 3 O'Clock, and remained so
till the reformation.
How, then. came it to mean II
o'clock? In this way: Monks, by their
rules, were not to dine till they had
sung their ''nones," or noontide service.
When midday, II o'clock, began to be
the time OF eating and drinking the
monks, who were also the masters OF
language i'll the dark ages, anticipated
both their devotiOns and their meals
by singing "nones" Immediately after
