Boundary Settlement.
Says England Might Have

And After She Did Not We

4 Tempest in Queen Vic’s
American Possession.
Toronto, Feb. 24. —At a‘conservative
meeting here Sir Charles Tupper, lead
•r of the parliamentary opposition, de
nounced as shameful t..e terms offered
oy the United States in settlement of
the Alaskan boundary dispute.
"And this," indignantly exclaimed Sir
Charles, "after winning in a struggle
which but for Britain's aid might have
had no such glorious end.
"The United States has taken a po
sition she should be ashamed to as
sume.
"A more monstrous insult was never
flung in the face of commerce.
“I am astonished that men like Lord
Herschel and Sir Wilfrid Laurier con
tinued the negotiations a single mo
ment after that proposition was made.
"As representative of her majesty s
• loyal position I enter my solemn protest
against the proceedings.
"The American demand is preposter
ous in the extreme.
"They say in effect that *the treaty
will be overridden and hold the line of
communication so that they may plun
der the British Yukon tor the next 20
or 30 years.”
Generally Sir Charles contended that
Canada should enact laws in reference
to alien labor, mining laws, etc., exact
ly similar to those enacted by the
United States, so that whenever the
United States passed any statute of
this kind Canada should place its coun
terpart on her statute books.
SUNDAL REACHES PORT.
TROUBLE IN NICARAGUA GETTING
MORE PRONOUNCED.
United States Gunboat Marietta Defies
the Authorities.
New Orleans, Feb. 24.—The steamship
Sundal has arrived from Blueflelds,
where she would have been seized last
Saturday by General Reyes had it not
been for the action of Captain Symonds,
commanding the United States gunboat
Marietta.
Recently Reyes dispatched a small
force to seize $40,000 in the customhouse
• at Cape Gracias.
The expedition was eminently suc
cessful, but the leader of the expedition
instead of returning with his men to
join Reyes deserted his command and
escaped up the coast.
General Reyes learned of his subordi
nate’s desertion Saturday last at night
and gave notice of his intention to seize
the Sundal and give chase.
The Sundal, which flies the Norwegian
flag, appealed to the British man-of
war Intrepid for protection, which was
refused.
He then appealed to the Marietta,
and Captain Symonds gave notice that
he would tolerate no interference with
the ship.
The Sundal left that night for this
port.
The captain of the Sundal says that
Reyes was preparing for an expedition
against Greytown with most of his ar
my on the gunboat San Jacinto.
The Nicaraguan consul here has re
ceived a message from President Ze
laya directing that he issue no more
clearances for vessels bound for Nica
raguan ports.
It is presumed ‘he object of this or
der is to prevent any assistance that
might be sent Reyes from this port.

Port Townsend, Feb. 24.—What
is thought to be wreckage from the
steamship Pelican. wTiich sailed from
Seattle Oct. 12, 1897, for Taku, North
China, laden with railroad lumber and
ties, of which nothing has been since
heard, has been reported to the local
hydrographic office by Captain A. V.

which arrived at Shanghai Jan. 8.
Captain Brown says that in latitude
29.46 north, longtitude 127.40 west, he
passed through a large number of rail
road sleepers of Oregon pine, which had
the appearance of not having been in
the water a great length of time.

ber and ties for the orient for the past
18 months have arrived at their des

THE BIG WORK OF 1900.
; CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS FIXING I
FOR WORLD’S CONVENTION.
I Will be Held Next Summer in London
and Will be a Big Event.
Boston. Feb. 24.—The United Society
of Christian Endeavors has received an
official statement of the preparations
for the world's Endeavor convention to
be held in London in the summer of
! 1900.
Rev. W. N. Knight, chaplain-secre- :
i tary of the London convention commit
' tee, says:
"We are not leaving things to pile
I upon us toward the last.
"The hospitality committee is pre- !
paring to make at once a preliminary '
test for handling visitors by a system- I
atic canvass and by advertising for
available accommodations within 12
| miles of Charing Cross, the centre of
' town.
"The vice president of the National
■ Christian Citizenship league, Edward
Page Gaston, of London, writes that
• those who come to London expecting
’ to see the city swaying in banners and
gay decorations may be disappointed,
for such displays are not even made
for royalty in this excitable latitude.
“But London will be stirred before it
i is done with and a part of the process
' I will be an half hour’s international
song service on Monday afternoon.
I i
j July 16, in Trafalger square, after
I which the march will be taken, six

ALGER WANTS ARMY OFFICERS
HELD BACK A LITTLE.
Asks That Recent Act Providing for Ad
vancement be Repealed.
Washington, Feb. 24.—The records
of the war department show an inter
esting story in connection with the
nomination by the president of an offi
' cer on the retired list of the army, Rob
! ert W. Dowdy, to be a captain in ac
tive service;
! At the outbreak of the Spanish war
Dowdy was a lieutenant in the Seven
r teenth infantry.
As the troops were lying at Tampa
waiting to embark he took his exami
nation for promotion as a captain, but
was found physically unfit.
. The recommendation of the board
that he be retired was forwarded to
Washington.
Meantime the Seventeenth went to
i
Cuba and Dowdy went along.
He was in the thick of the fighting
> everywhere, suffered every hardship
, and exposure, and went through the
t whole campaign without losing a day
; from Illness.
Just as the troops returned in vic
: tory to the United States the papers
' came back from Washington retiring
I j Dowdy from the service.
. ■ Upon looking into the case the presi
dent was satisfied that this was a par
ticular hardship and that the man who
t was strong enough to render such ser
( vice as Dowdy had rendered was good
I enough to retain in active service,
Whence the nomination.

SMUGGLERS AT WORK.
NEW YORK OFFICERS SAY BAND IS
WELL ORGANIZED.
Swiis Watch Movement. Smuggled Over
In Large Quantities.
New York, Feb. 24.—Local custom of
ficials are authority for the statement
that the seizure last week of some 1,200
Swiss watch movements and one-half
that number of gold cases in the office
' of A. W. Levy of this city points dl
. rectly to the existence of an organized
; gang of smugglers which they are in
i hopes of soon apprehending.
The movements and cases taken from
I.evy’s office were appraised today and
valued at from SB,OOO to SIO,OOO, but this
represents only a small portion of the
total value of the movements smuggled
into this country during the past year.
The attention of the custom officials
was first called to the matter by jew
elry dealers, who complained that
Swiss movements were being sold at
prices that defied honest competition.
Investigation by the custom officials
proved that the watches found in
Levy’s office were not entered for duty
at this port, Philadelphia, or Boston.*
i They believe that the movements
were smuggled across the border from
; Canada after being imported into Can
ada, whereas 60 per cent ad valorem is
: the duty in this country.
"All the watches seized bear the in
scription on the dial, "Springfield
i Watch company.”
Along the inner edge and cleverly
hidden when the movement is in its
case is the mark, "Made in Switzer
-1 land.”
■ This is contrary to the marking law,
! which specifies that the name of the
1 country of origin shall bear in continui
ty with the domestic mark if there be
any.
The movements are of an exception
ally high quality.
A WAR EPIGRAM LUNCHEON.
Certainly this was a new idea in
luncheons. It originated in the mind of
a Lynchburg (Va.) woman. Perhaps
the best designation is a w'ar epigram
luncheon, the intellectual feature of the
affair being the repetition by each
guest of some historic mot of the re
cent conflict with Spain. Among the
apt quotations .from the utterances of
naval and military heroes were there:
“Excuse me, sir; I have to report that
the ship has been blown up and is sink
ing.”—Bill Anthony.
"Suspend judgment.”—Sigsbee.
"We will make the Spanish the court
language of hades.”—Evans.
’■Remember the Maine.”—Schley.
"Don’t hamper me with instructions;
, I’m not afraid of the entire Spanish
I fleet with my ship.”—dark.
"To hell with breakfast; let’s finish
i ’em now.”—A gunner on board of one
of the vessels.
"Shafter is fighting, not writing.”—
Corbin.
"Don’t Cheer naw; those poor devils
are dying.”—Philip.
”1 want to make a public acknowl
edgment ’that I believe in God the
Father Almighty."—Philip.
"The Maine is so be avenged.”—
i Wainwright.
"Don’t get between my guns and the
enemy.”—Dewey.
“I have got them now; they will nev
er get home.”—‘Schley.
"There must be no recalls; iron will
break at last.”—Hobson.
“Don’t mind me, boys; go on fight
ing.”—Allyn Capron.
“Don’t swear; shoot.”—Colonel Wood.
"Take that for the Maine.”—Sigsbee.
"Expect to take the place as soon
as I can move; reinforcements will not
reach me.”—Shafter.
“War is not a picnic.”—Hamilton
Fish.
“Who would not gamble for a new
star in the flag?”—O’Neill.
"Afraid I’ll strain my guns at long
range; I’ll close in.”—Wainwright.
There 'were 20 questions and ten wo
men present. One bright woman guess
ed eight, and a white marble bust of
Dewey was awarded her. wrapped
carefully in red, white, and blue paper.
After luncheon the guests were in
vited into a Queen Anne hall, where
there was a large national flag sus
pended under the chandelier. They aill
in one group sang “America” in the
I most patriotic manner, and after the
first verse was sung a button was
pressed in the quickest manner and
this flag unfolded and ten dainty little
flags fell—souvenirs—which were
promptly picked up by each guest and
waved enthusiastically while the sec
ond verse of "America” was sung.
SNOW, RAIN, SUNSHINE.
It matters not how the weather
stands, there are certain important
matters that are necessary to keep the
world in motion and that is to keep
the inner man filled up, and to that end
one must be sure to know that they can
rely on having their orders promptly
filled at all times. No one who was a
customer of Joyce, or any one who sent
for anything, during the great freeze
was disappointed. Joyce was up to
the mark and met and filled all orders
as if it was ordinary weather. He is
an all-the-year butcher and disappoints
no one. He is now receiving elegant
western meats, game, and all things
that make the table attractive; delica
cies of all kinds in season. His fine
sausage that have gained such a “rep.”
is made fresh daily; poultry that is
poultry killed to order. Make no mis
take, as Joyce’s cold storage market at
Liberty and Abereorn streets is the
housekeepers’ paradise. ’Phone 107.
