SENATOR HANNA PRESIDED.
Third Days Session Of the National
Civic Federation.

CIVIC federatlCn.
Chicago, Oct. 1e-United States
Senator Hanna presided at the third
days session OF the National Civic
Federation conference.
Ex-Judge Waterman OF the local
branch of the federation introduced
Senator Hanna. Mr. Hanna spoke OF
the Importance Of the work engaged
In and the success in bringing to-
gether capital and labor, which at
first seemed to him impossible. Much,
he said, was due to the conservative
element of labor organizations. He
expressed hope for the future and
said that members of the federation
who at first were reluctant to join
were now the most active workers.
Since his connection with an Ohio
strike thirty years ago, he said, he
had made up his mind there was a
way to settle differences.
W. L. Mckenzie King of the de-
partment Of labor, Ottawa, Can, dis
cussed the conciliation act in force in
Canada and how number of strikes
were successfully settled by the law.

Worcester, Mass, Oct. 19-Officials

corporation, have had plans drawn for
the construction of q canal between
this city and Providence. The esti-
mated cost is $40,00o,0O0 and II will
be a difficult engineering feat. For
the proposed new water route the old
Blackstone valley canal will be
dredged and utilized for the greater
part OF the fifty miles.
The plans also call for the construc.
tion of a gigantic watershed Just out
side the city to supply water for the
canal. Several big mills in the vari-

iausso-Japanese Negotiations Making
No PROGRESS.

No Progress.
Berlin, Oct. 19.-The negotiations
between Japan and Russia according
% the view of the situation taken
here. are not making progress. Each
side, it appears from official informa-
ton, will not yield on the essential
propositions Russia persists in re-
luiring an agreement that shall not
delimit their respective spheres OF
supremacy and Japan declines to con-
sent to the general policy OF drift !,
under which Russian influence will,
the Japanese say. steadily bear upon
Korea and edge forward until the time
is ripe for acquiring a part of. or the
whole country. Japan, as previously
cabled from here, is determined ,*~ac-
cording to the German view, to have
a settlement with Russia by treaty
whereto they must both abide, or else
and the threat is ever in the near
ba ckground- will begin.
This Is the danger in plain view. The
japanese government seemingly makes
no particular concealment from the
diplomatic corps at Toxic OF this at
titude, one impression being that
Japan is merely playing diplomatic
game and another that the govern.
ment is in deadly earnest Russia s
ever increasing military preparations
in the Far East and Japan's nearly
completed equipments are regarded as
pointing either to a settlement before
December or to hostilities. Japan's
orders for war material were placed
in Germany year ago and since then
have all been delivered or are afloat.
Four Japanese officers who have been
buying war material and supervising
artillery construction at Essen left
Germany for Japan last Tuesday.

CALL IT A DISTINCT VICTORY.
State Department Officials Pleased
With Decision.

Washington, Oct. 19.-The Asso.
ciated Press bulletin from London an
nouncing the decision Of the Alaskan
boundary commission was the first
intimation received by the state de-
partment that the commission had
reached an agreement. Although the
bulletin from London is exceedingly
brief state department officials say
that it shows distinct victory for
the United States. 1t is their opin-
ion that the effect of the decision re-
garding the Portland canal merely
gives to Canada the possession of
Pearse island. small island in the
Portland canal and of no special i'm
portance. This detail of the contro-
versy is admitted by state department
officials to have been open to argu-
ment on both sides.
Pearse island is at the mouth of the
canal. The latter is divided into two
canals by the island and Canada for
merly had undisputed use of the east
ern channel Under the present de-
eision Canada will have the use of the
western channel.

News Of Decision Causes Surprise.


The successful termination of the
Alaskan boundary arbitration came as
a complete surprise to all interested
in the case, except, perhaps, the COM
missioners themselves. When the
tribunal adjourned at $3.50 p. m it was
understood that no decision had been
reached. Indeed, so general was the
impression that no decision would be
reached for few days that several
of counsel and others employed in the
case left London soon after the ad-
journment. However, the Associated
Press learned that vote had been
taken and that the decision to grant
all the American contentious except
that for the Portland canal, which
goes to Canada, had been arrived at.
No hitch occurred during the entire
deliberations and as these progressed
the confidence of the American COM
missioners that decision substan-
TALLY upholdng the American claims
would be given was increased, but it
was admitted that it would be neces-
sary to agree to a compromise on the
Portland canal.
The only really disquieting feature
Of the situation for the Americans dur
ing the last few days had been a
vague idea that Chief Justice Alver-
stone. even if he concluded to take
the American view, might be un
willing to 60 on record with a decl-.
sion to that effect and that disagree
ment was likely

DECISION OF ALASKAN BOUND
AIRY TRIBUNAL FAVORABLE
TO AMERICANS.
LOSES on ONLY ONE CONTENTION
CANADA SECURES CONTROL OF
BOTH CHANNELS OF PORT
LAND CANAL.
TO a RIcANs.

London, Oct. 19-The Alaska bound.
ary commission has reached an agree.
ment whereby all the American con-
tentions are sustained, with the ex
ception of those in relation to the
Portland canal, which Canada wins.
All that now remains to be done Is for
the commissioners to affix their sigma
lures to the decision and complete the
map which will accompany it.
On the map will be marked the
boundary line definitely fixing the
division of American and British ter
ritory on such basis that no Ameri-
can citizen will lose foot of land he
already believed he held, while the
United States will get all the water
ways in the rich Alaskan territory,
with the exception Of the Portland
canal, which gives Canada the one out
let she much needed.
The long standing dispute was set
tied after week of keen, trying and
secret deliberation between the arbi-
traitors. Up to noon there was an
acute possibility that disagreement
might result and the whole proceed
ings fall to the ground. Lord Alver-
stone, though openly inclined to be-
lieve in the justice of the American
argument that the United States was
entitled to the heads Of inlets as con-
tanned in question 5, held out that
Canada had established her case in
questions Q and 8, dealing with the
Portland canal.
After luncheon Senator Lodge, Sec
retary Root and Senator Turner
agreed to cede these points and to
start the American boundary line from
the head OF the Portland canal, thus
giving the Canadians that channel
and some small islands, on which
there are only few disused store.
houses. This accomplished the major.
ity Of the tribunal agreed to fix, with
this exception, the entire boundary as
outlined in the American case.

Third Street Confectionery
Store Scene of a Sus-
picious Robbery.

Burglars. who entered the confec-
tionery store of John Lankis, Z Third
street south, carried away with them
about $3.50, leaving $1,000 untouched.
The robbery occurred early yesterday
morning, entrance being gained by a
rear door.
The burglary is one of the most puz-
zling that has been brought to the at
tention of the police for some time.
About $500 was left in four cigar boxes
in the drawer of a desk, unlocked.
Two of the boxes held the $3.50, which
was taken, while the other two held
S110, which was untouched. The last
consisted mainly of packages of small
silver coins, although a SIS gold piece
lay on the top Of the pile.
The safe contained about 800. The
combination outer doors were open
and the small inner doors held merely
by small lock. The key is usually
left in the lock at night. No attempt
was made to open the safe.
Entrance to the building is sup
posed to have been gained by break
ing the glass in a rear door and push
ing back heavy bolt. Several police
men who tried to open the door in this
manner were unable to move the bolt
without working from the inside.
The laxity of the methods used for
caring for the money, the police claim,
makes the case appear suspicious.
