At lilo o'clock last night the fire
alarm sounded from box 36. The fire

Tor storing baled hay and straw. The
barn and wagon shed of M. j. CUISINE
caught fire in several places from fly

the scene just in time to save them
from being burned down. If they had
burned, Gushne's ice house and
bottling establishment, connected with
the sheds, would have gone too. They
got all Of Cuisines horses out of the
barn, which was smoking at the time.

NO CONSENT GIVEN
Canada Was Ignored When
Alaskan Treaty Was Signed.
A STRONG PROTEST WAS MADE.
Canadian Commissioner Did Not Ap-
prove of Award, az 1t Wns Not "a
Judicial DecIsfon-GPeat Dis
sa~tIsfactiOn Expressed.

OTTAWA, Oct. %. - The Alaska
boundary correspondence has been laid
before the Canadian house here. 1t
consists of messages between the CO.
ionial Offices, Washington and Ottawa,
and shows hat Canada agreed to sub
NIT the question to ~iurists of repute
and protested strongly when Messrs.
Root, Lodge and Turner were appoint
ed by the United States. The colonial
office expressed its regrets and then
urged the acceptance of these gentle
men rather than the breaking off of
negotiations.
Mr.. Chamberlain asked Canada's con-
sent to this, but apparently without
waiting for that consent to be given
Sir Michael Herbert for England and
Mr.. Hay for the United States signed
the treaty.
In the senate Sir Mackenzie Bowel,
leader of the Opposition. asked for in
formation concerning the Alaska bound
airy award.
Hon. Mr.. Scott for the government
said that the most important reason
why the Canadian commissioners did
not approve of the award was that it
was not a judicial document decision.
Lord Alverstone had in the first in
stance agreed that the center Of the
Portland canal should form the bound
airy line. The four islands should have
gone to either the one country or the
other, depending upon the position of
the line through the Portland channel.
cd the line so as to throw two of the
Islands into the United States and two
into C~anada-that Is, Wales and Pearse
islands went to Canada and the two
smaller to the United States. Sir Mac
kenzie Bowel said that 1t was unfor-
tunate that in every case when nego-
~tiatiOns have taken place between the
United States and England where Can
ada was affected the United States dip
lomats had succeeded in securing is
lands which command most important
points Of our dominion.
1t is said here that the decision will
create as much dissatisfaction in Can
ada as there was in the Transvaal and
In Ireland.
A cable from Liverpool says that A.
B. Aylesworth, one of the Canadian
commissioners, said in justification Of
his refusal to sign the award:
1T was more of a compromise thai
a judicial decision. Its effect will be
that Dominion goods traversing the dis
puted territory must pay high tariff
duties to the United States. The Ca
indians feel SC keenly OF this subject
that, although there will be no cry Of
~separatfon, they probably will demand
a large power of self government in
order to prevent In the future a repeti-
ton of such decisions"

Al Ond Charncter.

The staple vanity of the negro was
never better displayed than by the col
ored braGomeu who used to be CT the
Asheville & Spar.anburs railroad a fsw
years ago. His habit was TO anrounre
the trains next stop by coming into the
middle Of the car, throwing out his chest,
and, when every eye was on him, roaring
like a bull of Bashan. The originality OF
his announcements made him known all
over the south. They ran: The next
station is Lapdru.n. the last station in
South Carolina" or. The next station
is Skyland. one aud a half miles; Sky
land is a flag station" or, The next
station Is Biltmore, Eve miles; Biltmore,

That they escaped with only a few

anything else.
