PRESIDENT JUBIL4NT.
Dir. Foster Reports on Vict0ry-
47card to Canada a SHght One.

Washington. Oct 20.--At the meeting of the
Cabinet to-day hearty felcita lions were ex-
changed between the President and his advisers
the result of the deliberations of the Alas
kan Boundary Commission Secretary Hay pre-
sented to the President and to his fellow Cabf-
net members the decision of the commission as
given in official dispatches to the State Depart
ment. The decision itself indicates clearly how
complete the American victory Is. BY the Presi-
dent and the Cabinet the result achieved is re-
garded far and away the greatest diplomatic
success the United States has had for genera
ton. 1t is pointed out that the decision of the
commission insures TO this country for all time
the only spot on earth concerning which there
was any question about relinquishing and the
pursued by this government is regarded
having been indicated completely
President Roosevelt and the members of his
Cabinet were jubilant over the decision. partic-
ularly as it removes any cloud from the title of
the United States to any part of the Alaskan
Territory in dispute. They regard that territory
as one of the greatest possibilities and one
which in perhaps few years will be a populous
country. The President who always has besn
deeply interested in the development OF the
Northwest, Indicated to the Cabinet how much
the decision meant to the entire belt OF territory
along the Canadian border
In considering the action of the commission
both the President and the Cabinet exnrassad
sincere and cordial appreciation of the loft, ond
fair minded position taken by Justice aIvor-
stone.

cALcINE AND COAL DUST
Makes a Very Nice Fuel Says Rock
land Druggist.

sRockland. Me-, Dec. I.-Charles H..
Pendleton, a local druggist, believes
he has made a discovery in the way
of fuel which may have an important
bearing on the coal stringency. A few
days ago he bought ton of coal
screenings for $3.50. Using piece Of
wire screeing with. a quarter-inch
mesh, he saved all the coal which did
not go through the spaces and found
that he had about a quarter OF a ton
of coal that would burn very well.
The balance appeared useless, as it
was little better than mass of black
dust but with desire to experiment
he mixed one pound of calcine plaster
with 10 pounds of the coal dust, adding
water enough to make it thoroughly
damp.
He then spread the mixture to dry,
and the result was a composition OF
a brittle nature which could be readily
broken up with the hands, but which
remained firm enough to make excel
lent fuel Mr. Pendleton was so we'll
pleased with the experiment that he
has filled his cellar with the material

CHICAGO COAL FAMINE.
Authorities Investigating Charges of
Illegal Handling, Etc.

Chicago. Dec. 31.-The separate investi-
cations begun, yesterday, by Attorney
General Hamir and by an aldermamc
committee to determine the cause of the
coal famine in this city, were merged, to
day, that they may work intelligenty
and together.
The inquiry has not as yet had evidence
of a conspiracy between dealers or De
tween the railroads or of between both,
although some of the dealers, it has been
shown, have on hand thousands of tons
of coal which they claim is for contracts
already made. Mr.. Hamlin says that if
it can be shown that the coal is really
not held for contracts the dealers can be
prosecuted.
AS a result of the inquiry the situation
has been relieved according to Attorney
General Hamlin, and conditions. are rap
idly becoming better. He added: In
fact relief is coming so rapidly that l DO
not believe we shall be forced to begin
any proceedings against the companies"

CASTRO ACCEPTS
Proposition for Arbitration by
The Hague Tribunal.
Germany Valves Diplomatic Insults
but Has Other Grievances
Which She Will Not Arbitrate, Insist
ing on Indemnity.

Washington, Dec. 31.-The answer OF
President Castro to the proposals ol
the allies to submit to the arbitration
of The Hague tribunal the Venezuelan
difficulties has reached Washington
through Minister Bowen. The answer
refers to a general expression of pfln-
ciples of the proposals, President cas-
tro being willing to submit the case
to the arbitration of fair and impartial
authorities.
The details of the answer will not pc
published here in advance of it's re-
ception by the European allied powers
and, in fact, they may be withheld en-
tirely from publication on the ground
that the answer really concerns those
powers.
Today, the answer is being prepared
at the state department for transmits
sion to Europe. AS it is quite long and
undoubtedly will require careful con-
sideration by the foreign offices at Lon
don. Berlin and Rome. 1t is not ex-
pected that any further steps toward
a final settlement can be taken for a
day or two.
The feeling here, however. based on
a knowledge of Castro's position is that
his answer practically clears the way
for submission to arbitration. The an

A DECIDED CHECK
In Attempt to Fix Poison Sale on Miss
Richardson.

Concord. N. H., Dec. 31.-The efforts
Of Chief Sackett of Revere. Mass, to
trace the purchaser of half an ouncs
of arsenic at Green's drug store in Lit
Teton. n. H., Sept. 10, 1901, received a
decided check in this city, tonight.
Won. c. Wheel. drug clerk in
Green's store at the time of the alleged
sale. when shown the poison register
tonight. told the chief that in his
opinion the initials "V. G. W. which
appear on the entry of the sale and
opposite the name of Richardson" the
supposed purchaser, were not in MS
writing. He also told Chief Sackett
that he had no recollection of making
the sale and Furthermore never knew
Miss Catherine Richardson.
Chief Sackett arrived from Littletofl
where he had secured the register
earlier in the day, about 6 o'clock, to-
night, and at once hunted UP Wheel,
who has a small store here.
Wheel examined the book very care.
fully and then told the chief that While
the initials were his, the writing was
different. He told the chief of police,
however, that at the time the sale was
made, Mr.. Green had also in his en-
ploy at the store Harold Aldrich OF
Colebrook. N H., 16-year-old boy,
who was not supposed to sell any
poison.
After their interview. tonight, neither
Sackett nor Wheel would give any
opinion as to who could have written
the initials.
