LONDON , July 24. Commt-ntlng upon the
debate In the Canadian Parliament on Snt-
urday regarding the Alabko.n boundnry ques
tion , the St. James Gazette says today :
The brisk air of the United States nnd
Canada Is conducive to strong words which
would never pass the lips of a European
statenmnn until nn order to mobilize was
an the point of Issuing. N'obody thinks of
war In connection with the Canadlnn-Amcrl-
cnn dispute Vet since It Is wo who will
have to light If Canada makes n quarrel we
, must plead with one of our subjects to use
) a qrileter style. If Sir Charles Tupper'o
' words mean anything he dcslria the pre
sentation of an ultimatum , which could
mean war. Sir Wilfrid Laurier , though
c.ilmer , was tolerably emphatic. As ( hfciKS
nro golng-now wo are drifting to n very seil-
oug diplomatic collision with the United
Stales which Great Britain Is earnestly
anxious to nvold.
.Not bu * > erloiiN IIN Painted.
NEW YORK , July 21. A special to the
Herald from Washington says : "There will
bo neither war nor arbitration over the
Alaskan boundnry dispute. It will bo settled
by nmlcablo agreement between tbo United
States and Great Britain , one nation making
concessions on this question In return for
concessions by the other on some question
nt Issue between the two governments. "
This Is the view expressed by nn official
having much to do with the pending nego
tiations. Referring to Sir Wilfrid Laurler'a
kpeechIn" the Canadian Hotiso Of Commons ,
In which tho' Canadian premier declared
thcrooro only two ways by which the dlul-
culty could bo settled arbitration or war
the omclal gald s'lgnltlcaiitly : "Sir Wilfrid
I > nuilcr Is merely stating to the Canadian
Parliament the recognized methods by which
civilized nations settle controversies. Tbero
pro three methods first , by mutual agree
ment , second , by a resort to arbitration ,
and , third , by war. Sir Wilfrid has ncglectud
to mention the flrat and most Important of
these methods.
"It is recognized by the administration tbnt
the boundary question Is a dlfllcult ono , as
nro other questions pending between Canada
and the United States , but U Is not regarded
as Impossible of adjustment In some way
satisfactory to the American miners and the
Canadian government , ae veil as the United
States and Great Britain. Some cf the ques
tions nt laauo nro nioic or less Independent
and It was Intimated to mo that there was
icnson to hope a flnnl settlement of the
boundary controversy might grow out of thh
relation between the pending questions.
"It IB felt by ottlclnls of the administration
generally that while It mny toke time- and
the exorrtae of considerable patlenca to work
ullt n final solution of .ill the pending ques
tions , such a solution will ultimately bo
reached In a neighborly spirit and without
any clash or serious straining of relations
telwcl'ii ttie two nations. " '

WASHINGTON , July 24. Senator Fair-
bans , chairman of the American dl-
vlilon of the High Joint Canadian com-
niltalon , made a brief cull uppn the pres
ident loday before starting for hla home in
Indiana. He declined to dlscusa the speech
of Sir Wilfrid Laurier or to rmnaik upon
the situation with refeicnce to the boundary
dispute. Ho conflrmed the report already
given out that there would bo no meeting
of the Joint commission on August 2 , saying
Hint ho and Sir Wilfred Laurier hacj last
Friday ng'rebd upon a postponement for an
indefinite period , The senator would not
hazard a surmise as to when another meet
ing might bo held ,
Direct negotiations regatdlng the Alaskan
boundary are now | n progress between Secretary -
retary Hay and Mr Tower , the British
charge d'affaires here The negotiation are
directed toward the adjustment of the Issue
liy amicable arrangement between the par-
tie ! , though on somewhat different lines than
those pursued during the spring and sum
mer. The principals are not without hope
that success mny attend their effort * and
then there Is arbitration yet In reserve in
case of failure on the present lines.
The olllclalb hero arc nowise alarmed at
( lie recent devolopmnts at Ottawa , feeling
confident that Sir Wilfrid Lnurlcr's utter
ances In which he mentioned the word
"war" as an alternative o arbitration , was
Kjveu a meaning not Intended by the Canad
ian premier , The htrnng language attrib
uted to Sir Charles Tupper Is not credited
to the Canadian go > eminent , nnd It Is
realized Hist great latitude may be allowed
in viewing the utterances of members of
the opposition paity.

QUELLED BY AMERICAN NERVE

COLORADO SPRINGS , Colo. , July 21. In
referring to the recent attack on the elec
tric line by fanatical natives In Seoul ,
Korea , IS. E. Rlttcnhouao of this city , who
was connected with the construction of this
railroad , said today :
"I have received several letters nnd many
photographs from Seoul lately , nnd the most
interesting Incident to Americans In con
nection with this uprising ban not been told ,
although the press generally Is giving much
space to this singular outbreak. This Is
doubtless duo to the modesty of two men
Interested , through whom most of the news
of the riots has reached America. I refer
to II. R. Bostwlck of San Francisco , man
ager of the Seoul Blectrlo company , and H.
Raymond Krum of Columbus , O. , chief of
the Imperial engineering department , who
alone and unarmed , by their coolness nnd
good American nerve , dispersed a howling
mob of 3,000 to 4,0(0 orientals and saved
their own lives and the power house and
electric plant.
"At the time the child was run over , the
streets were literally packed with excited
natives discussing the decisions of
astrologers and 'mutnnges' that the electric
railway and power house were the real
causes of .the drouth and the suffering among
the poor. With the death of the child , the
noisy excitement gave way to wild , unre
strained fury and the howllpg ma s of white
clad humanSly fell upon the 'cars , .destroyed
nnd burned some of thorn and dro\e off the
Japanese employes with broken beads. A
large section of the mob. eatdmated by Mr.
Bcstwlck nt 'between ' 3,000 and 4.9QO , ap
peared before the power house , filling the
street nnd swarming like sheep over the
city wall and the great east gate which ad
joins the power house. It was at this point
that the two Americans appeared on the
scene. I have read in a New York paper
that the two Americana had to run for their
lives. I nm sure no such Idea entered their
heads. To run would bo to Invite pursuit ,
and their remains would have soon been
dragged through the streets. At any rate
they did not run , ( but started across the open
toward the mob. The pffect was Instan
taneous. The sight of those two calm , fear
less white -men walking : briskly into the
very jaws of death , utterly ignoring the
rage and wrath of thousands paralyzed them
with , astonishment and awed them into
silence.
"Suddenly Bostwlck held up his hand and
commanded them to 'chorlgnh' ( disperse ) by
order of the United States of America. He
had hoped to Impress them with n show of
authority and parley until their ardor had
cooled down a little , but was hardly pre
pared for the stampede that followed the
uplifting nf hie hands. Stones and clubs
that were intended for these two brave
Americans were dropped and the rioters
simply climbed over each other to get away. "

The American delegates met today and
asked that the word "duty" In article xxvll

United States to Interfere in European uf-
falra and vice versa ,

gatro , who framed the article , and the
Americans lasted several hours. Efforts are
now being made to find a suitable word to

wishes of the 'American delegates without
weakening the purpose of the-article.

missioner statJR that many persons were
undoubtedly reBl\cd who were suffering

Alfss Maud and Mrs. Walston II. Drown , are
both on the verge of prostration. The grief-
stricken wife and daughters , who share the
belief cf the dead agnostic , have begged to
bo allowed to keep the body with them as
long _ as possible. They ImVo repeatedly re
fused to discuss the final disposition of the
remains and It was not until this after
noon that they permitted Clinton D. Farrell ,
brother-in-law and secretary of Colonel In-
gerscll , to complete the arrangements. When
told this afternoon that services were to beheld
held tomorrow their only remarks were ,
"So soon , cannot we have him with us a lit
tle longer. "

WASHINGTON , July 24. A largely oper
ated advertising plan da excluded from the
malls by a decision rendered by Acting As
sistant Attorney General Barrett for the
PostoUlice department. The plan consists of
puz/lcs , whoso solution 1 easy , by counting
dots In a circle , spokes In a wheel or arrang
ing a set of jumbled letters to form names
of prominent person * , but the catch lies In
a proviso Imposing conditions on successful
contestants.

tisements bring out circulars from the promoters

Signed 10 lead patrons to bellevo they have
won valuable prizes conditioned on their
making or obtaining subscriptions , selling

lating to such schemes holds that they do-
cehe the credulous and uneducated.
