Washington, Oct 25. It is said at tba state department that the proposi tion as to a permanent Alaskan boun dary laid down by Sir Louis Davies Is nothing more nor less than a summary f claims heretofore preferred. When the commission was In session last apring and the Canadian proposition was made to settle the boundary ques tion by arbitration the American com missioners replied with an offer to ac cept arbitration with the proviso that no point occupied by Americans for a specified term of years should be sub mitted to the arbitration. In other words the term was so fixed that by no possibility could the title to Skaguay, Dyea, or any other place that the Americans had occupied for a period mn-esented by the discovery of the Klondike fields a few years ago be called into question by the arbitration. Promptly BJaoUd by Canada. This proposition was promptly and emphatically rejected by the Can adian commissioners and Its rejection helped cause the failure of the Joint - : conference. Since that time there have ' been several suggestions in the nature of compromise, and Included among these was one like this embodied in Sir Louis Davies prepositions, which ae cabled from London are as follows: That the boundary line be arbitrated pen terms similar to those on the Teneaulla case, making fifty years' oe . eopa&cy by either side conclusive evl oa&ee of title, occupancy of less than that period to be taken as equity al lows tinder International law. That, as a condition precedent to and absolute ly preliminary to arbitration, Skaguay ad Dyea would be conceded to the 'nlted States without, further claim if Canada received Pyramid Harbor. Views of tba Two Ulapntante. It is not possible to accurately fore i oast the view that the state depart ment will take of this last proposi tion, bnt It may be proper to recall the fact that in the opinion of the depart ment, Canada has no more rlatui to Pyramid Harborthnn it hasto Skaguay and Dyea, and the British government has already been informed of that be lief. It Is equally true that from the British point of view the United States has no claim on either Skaguay or Dyea. It does not seem possible, tak , tng the position of the United States Into consideration that Sir Louis Da Ties' proposition will very materially advance a permanent settlement of i the boundary question, but the Da Vies proposition Is a very large conces- fton by Canada. ; STATUS Or TBS CONTROVERSY. fjlalaas Upon Whleh tba DlspataaU Baaa .. : Tbair Case ...... - For the state of things is this: One ' question to be decided Is what does the word coast mean? And another is ... what are the windings of the coast? These are ontslde of another question having its origin in the same docu- " Bient the treaty by which we obtained Alaska from Bussla: Can a line run north up a channel that does not run aortb at all? For so It Is provided In the treaty. As to the first question what Is the coast? Canada claims that it is the land against which the open ocean, beats.; Coming to the second question what are the windings of the coast? the United States claims that where there Is an opening into the sea six miles wide the windings of the coast go to the very head of that opening or arm ef the sea on one side and come back e the other. The Canadians claim that the "windings" are simply those against which the open sea beats. , There Is the dispute that Canada wants a third party to settle. As it stands 7 now it seems that the two countries will continue to act for some time to come under the terms of the modus , Vivendi recently aranged by Secretary Hay and Tower. As to the merits of the last mooted proposition, It can be slated that at no time since the negotiations have been In progress for an adjustment of the Alaskan boundary line has the United States government given serious con sideration to the cession to Canada of a single Inch of ground on the shores of the Lynn canal. 'That position has not been changed In any essential re spect, and as Pyramid harbor Is cer tainly on a branch of the canal It fol lows that our government has never bad it In contemplation to surrender Its possession.

London, Oct 25. The following dis patch from Gcnreal Sir George Stewart White to the Marquis of Lansdowne, secretary of state for war, received last evening at 11 o'clock, was posted at the war odice soon after midnight It Is dated Ladysmith, Oct 24, 9 p. m.: "Information received yesterday showed that the Boers had established themselves In considerable numbers In an exceedingly strong position west of the main road leading from Ladysmith to Dundee. I also had Information that the Dundee force, formerly com- CAriTOL AT PRETORIA, manded by General Symons, and since his wounding commanded by General Yule, was falling back on Ladysmith by way of the Ilelpmakaar road, Belth, and the valleys of the Wasch bank and Sunday rivers, and was ex pected to ranch Sunday River valley today. Just "Interfered,1 with tha lloers, "I therefore moved out with a strong force to cover the movement of Yule's column. The enemy was discovered abotlt seven miles out of Ladysmith In a position of great natural strength west of the road. When he saw that preparations were being made against him he opened fire with one gun with great accuracy. Our artillery soon got into position and the gun was si lenced. Our troops were ordered to occupy a strong ridge parallel to the enemy's- position, but nearer to the road. I confined my efforts to occupy ing nlm and hitting him hard enough to prevent his taking action against Yule's column. Numbers of the enemy fled to the west and the firing bad prac tically ceased at 2 o'clock. ' Calls It Brllliaat Strategy. London, Oct 25. The Cape Town correspondent of The Dally Mail, tele graphing at 9:45 p. m. yesterday, says: "General Yule has performed a bril liant strategical movement By a swift march to the south, leaving Gleacoe empty, he has eected a Junction of forces with those of Sir George Stewart White slightly to the north of Lady smith. The two are now in a position to offer battle. I believe the first at tack will be made on the large Free State force which entered Natal by way of Tintwa Pass, and which has since been biirnsslng Ladysmith. The military authorities decided that by Joining their forces the two generals would be better able to cope with one large force at a time than by having two small detachments to oppose sim ultaneously two big, Boer forces. three, boors io bue firiion. "Accordingly, after defeating the Free State troops they will offer battle to Commandant General Joubert. Only forty miles now separate the two Boer forces. Hence the need for swift and telling action. The two sections of the Boer army together outnumber the en tire British force by three to one. Hard fighting is certain at a very early date. Our men are confident and there Is much enthusiasm. The fighting today outside Ladysmith was a mere brush. The losses on neither side were sLr- nUcant It was merely an artillery duel in which the Boers came off de cidedly the worse." . TAKES A I'fcKMUlSTIC VIEW. BeaUxea London Writer's Worst Fears r rea atato Auurlluf. London, Oct 25. The war office dis patch seems to realize the worst fears. Geueral Yule has abandoned not only Dundee but Gleacoe also, and so far as present news would Indicate he has neither joined General White nor reached Ladysmith. Geueral White's "successful action," announced in par liament by Wyndham, seems to re solve itself into a mere engaging of the attention of the Free State trowps while General Yule is slipping south ward. It Is evident from the official dltipatches that both Commandant Gen eral Joubert's column on the north and the Orange Free State troops on the west now occupy strong positions and that nothing binders the Boers from following up General Yule's retirement aud gelling arouud Ladysmith from the southeast, Until reinforcements arrive It seems that General White is obliged to con centrate on Lndysuiltli. It Is believed that the government has other dis patches that have not yet been pub lished. The secretary of state for war left Cbn.ite's residence lust nlzht im mediately at. the end of tho banquet to Gen. llarrlwou, and proceeded to the war otiiee, where even after midnight there was considerable activity, many Visitors calling to Inquire for Informa tion, among them a sinter of General Sir Arebibflld IJiinter. - , London, Oct 2.

Oaa of Agnlnaldo's Men Proceeds to "Un roll tba Bloody Sorolk" Manila, Oct 24, 5:50 p. m. Hollo is stirred by the expectation of Impor tant fighting. General Pullon baa be gun "unrolling the bloody scroll," as be promised his followers in a recent speech, by firing volleys at the Ameri can outposts nightly. Since Sunday re inforcements have been arriving from the north. This activity is designed to divert the Vlsayans from their dis satisfaction against the Tagalos. Agnlnaldo has ordered the release on parole of Areneta and other Visayan leaders who are disposed to negotiate for peace, and is watching them to prevent further negotiations. The Fourth infantry reconnaissances about linns found that the insurgents had returned to Das Marinas. Their bugles blew when the Americans ap proached. It is reported that they are reorganizing at Malabon and other towns. The leading inhabitants of that section have requested Major General Otis to garrison the towns, because the Insurgents are living oil the peo ple. Sufficient troops are lacking for this.

CLEARING UP A MYSTERY. Kabel ochoBeld's Death Was Evidently Aaooinpllsiied by Crime. Des Moines, la., Oct 25. The death of Mabel Schofleld, whose body was found in the Des Moines river Sunday, waa a complete mystery until yester day. It is now believed she was drugged and then thrown In the river. Three men, all of good standing, have testified that Sunday afternoon they saw a boat come down the river in which were two men and a woman, the woman lying on the bottom of the boat motionless. The men were talking to her, but she did not move When they saw the Schofleld girl they testified positively that her clothes were the same as those of the woman in the boat. It Is established by the physicians that she did not die by drowning. The officers believe she was chloroformed and then thrown Into the river. There Is no clue to the men who were In the mysterious boat Fortune for a Bra re Deed. Cleveland, Oct 25. City Councilman J. L. Rellly has fallen heir to $80,000. Four years ago, while in San Antonio, Tex., Rellly stopped a runaway team, probably saving the life of the driver, a wealthy fanner of Palmer, Tex., named John Wallace. His arm was so badly Injured in the struggle that for a time amputation was thought to be necessary, but eventually It healed. On Saturday Rellly received notice from San Antonio that Wallace bad died and left him a legacy of $80,000. Two Bank Robbers Arrested. Jollet Ills., Oct 25.

FARMERS NOT IN IT. Large Sams Provided for tbe Education of their Hons Diverted to Other Purposes. During the last few years $1,350,000 have been appropriated to aid agricul tural education in Nebraska, but under the management of the republican re gents which have had control of the the university, but a very small part of it has been uned for that purpose. The fruits of all this expenditure of money in the name of education in agri culture and mechanic arts, and in agri cultural experiments, is ninety-nine stu dents all told, who since the beginning have enrolled for 12 weeks' study in ag riculture, and the trifling attendance in the sugar school and school of mechanic arts. Ibis is what the republican party of Nebraska has to show as the result of republican regents spending $1350,000, appropriated to aid agricultural educa tion. Iowa has 290 agricultural students; Wisconsin, 326; and Minnesota, 490? The answer may well be taken from the of ficial report of the regents of the Ne braska state university. The answer is in tbe language of Prof. H. II. Nichol son, director of the sugar school and chemical laboratories, who says in his report to the regents: "The laboratory for the school of agri culture is equipped for giving instruc tion to students in agriculture, and the school of agriculture. AS THERE IS NO PERSON REGULARLY ASSIGN ED TO THIS WORK, WHEN THESE CLASSES COME UP FOR IN STRUCTION, AN INSTRUCTOR IS FOUND FOR THE TIME BEING." This shows fully the spirit of the in dustrial college, in which Nebraska re publicans have so much pride. The reform forces are pledged by three several resolutions to "administer the Morrill land grant fund, the Morrill special fund for agricultural colleges, and the Hatch experiment station fund which have been entrusted to the state of Nebraska for education in agriculture and the mechanic art sand for original re search in agriculture, strictly in the spirit of the various United States laws creating the same, and to use all other reasonable means to bring agricultural education in Nebraska up to the highest standard." The reform forces nominated two men eminent for public spirit, courage, and loyalty to dut. Men who on two hours' notice any day may meet in the council hall of the university. These men are Hon. Edson Rich, of Omaha, a graduate of the state university; and Hon. J. L. Teeters, of Lincoln, a graduate of the Iowa state university. They are picked men. selected for their ability to execute a difficult work. They can be trustedjo wipe out the blot upon the educational escutcheon of Nebraska. They are men who understand the needs of a great in stitution of learning. They will see to it that every cent appropriated by our general government to aid in education in agriculture ana mecnanie arts, is ex pended for such educatioit. The fusion nominees for regents will ''use all honor oble means to bring agricultural educa tion in Nebraska up to the highest standard." ' CAMPAIGN DATES DATES TOR I. W. EDGBBTOlf, LIHCOUI.

The meeting was called to order by Dr. Lyman, a soldier of theGOs. In his opening remarks he called special attention to the historic fact that the secretary of war, by order of President McKinley, sent an order to General Otis on the 5th day of June, 1899, in which he stated that we had "practically ef fected the conquest of the Philippine Islands," and that General Otis should immediately take military possession of the entire group of the Philippine Islands, thus virtually declaring war against the Filipinos, who had possession and government of ail me lsianas ex cepting the city of Manila and the har bor thereof, and one or two other points, at that time. That the declaration of war against these people was made by the president thirty days before the ratifica tion of the treaty of peace with Spain by the U. S. Senate, and three months before the ratilication of the treaty by Spain. Evidently a matter of "manirlest destiny" which originated with the man agers of the president. (len. Brown, another soldier of the GOs, then took charge of the meeting aud in a few well chosen remarks introduced Col. Eager of tho ist Nebraska, who held the audience spellbound tor about an hour, telling them what he saw ana Icnew of the Philippine war. It 'was a masterly address aud plea-d the audi ence greatly.
