grains for the Trans-Mississippi expo
sition. Some splendid samples have
been secured. The county fair offi
cials also offer special premiums on all
kinds of grain with the understanding
that they be kept for the exhibit at
Omaha.
Much to the surprise of farmers of
Dakota county , when they went to
stack their small grain , they found
that crickets and grasshoppers had
played havoc with the twine around
the bundles in many fields , not missing
one. This necessitated the small grain
being threshed at once , and all thresh

active use.

ALASKA BOUNDARY MATTER.
"Have you taken any interest h
he discovery of the new gold fields ? '
Mr. Sherman looked up in surprise
'You ' mean the Klondike region ? O
ourse I have. That is a matter thai
rould naturally attract the attentior
f any man in my position. The fac
hat international complications maj
nsue has , of course , sharpened my in
jrest in the subject. There may bt
uestions as to boundaries. It has aL
rays been customary to consider the
nes as running along the mainland ,
; ut occasionally it has been con
mded that in laying the lines tc
etermfne the 30-mile line , meas
rements should be made from the
oints of land extending farther intc
le water , or even from the islands
Whenever these claims were made the
urposes of them have been apparent
hey were made to advance the inter-
sts of the country making them. If a
isagreement arises over sueh a ques-
on it will probably be because some
t the islands prove to be of unusual
ilue. This government is ready tc
laintain the rights of its citizens and
> protect its own interests to the last
jgree. However , it is too early tc
peculate as to what may happen in
laska. If difficulties arise we will be
> ady to face them , but I expect no
• ouble. Many of the stories that
> me from there are undoubtedly ex-
rgerated. I guess some of them are
rossly exaggerated. It is also so
henever gold is found. The tales
: e built on hopes and imaginations as
uch as on the facts. The statement
printed this morning that the mak-
ig of Dyea a port of entry is likely to
ijure us financially. Whether or not
is a port of entry is of no special
msequence. The matter cuts a small
fure either way. "
NGLAND AND HER QUARRELS.
"Our relations with England seem
i have been restored to a friendlv
isis. "
"Oh , yes , " said Mr. Sherman with a
ugh , "that cloud , if , indeed , there
er was a cloud , has blown com-
etely away. "
Folding his hands in his lap , the
cretary said , with a slight trace of
imor in his voice : "The seals , cpn-

Cleveland , Ohio , Aug. 9. Pro
Henry W. Elliott , after reading an ii
terview in New York with John V
Foster , the commissioner sent by Pres
dent McKinley to England to confc
with Lord Salisbury relative to the B <
ring sea matter , in which Mr. Foste
said that the people of Washingto
knew Elliott , said : "So , Mr. John
Foster has nothing to say in answe
to my direct charge of his telling th
President an untruth about mysel :
Well , perhaps that is the best thin
for him to do. I happen to have i
my possession the black and white ev
dence that he has violated the nint
commandment , he has 'borne fals
witness against his neighbor. ' I wil
then call attention to this fact , h
talks vaguely about my 'animus' an
my 'status. ' The American peopl
have had a glut of this tomfooler
over fur seals and the prospect of ha\
ing it strung out two or three year
longer under the lead of this incompc
tent man is enough to sicken them
I predict that they will no
stand the shame and imposition
I have always been under th
impression , and am still convinced
that a man convicted of bearing fals
witness against his neighbor is not i
fit man for association within the pri

Mr. Hamlin , who is now asso

1S94 , that 'they ( the Foster associa
