Lord Wolseley's Opinion.
London, by Cable.—The parliamen
tary secretary of the War Office, Air.
George Wyndham, made a statement
in the the House of Commons Monday
saying: “Lord Wcolsley sums up tat
position in Natal early this morning
as follows: ‘ln the battle of Elands
laagte, on October 21st, two guns were
captured from the Boers, who lost
heavily. A large column of the enemy
appeared advancing from the north
and west of General Rule, who conse
quently had fallen back from Dundee,
and was concentrating at Glencoe
Junction. General White was in po
sition at Ladysmith and is being re
inforced from Pietermaritzburg, 3he
enemy appears to be in large numer
ical superiority.’ ”!
THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Canada’s Last Proposition Less Rad
ical Than her Former One.
j-fondon, by Cable.—The Associated
Press is enabled to give authoritatively
Canada’s final proposition for a per
menent settlement of the Alaska dis
pute. It is very different from her for
mer demands and was delivered to
United States Ambassador Ohoate, by
Hie Canadian Minister of Marine and
hisheries. Sir Louis Henry Davies,
before the latter sailed and was dis
patched to Washington by the officials
of the United States embassy. It is
as follows:
That the boundary line be arbitra
ted upon terms similar to those im
posed by the United States and Great
Britain over Venezuela, particularly
those provisions making fifty years
occupancy by either side conclusive
eveidence of title, occupancy of less
than that period to be taken as equity
allows under international law.
- hat as a condition precedented and
absolutely preliminary to arbitration,
Skaguay and Dyea would be conceded
to the I nited States without further
claim if Canada received Pyramid har
bor.
“In other words, Canada gives up
much of the disputed gold country' in
return for a seaport, but stipulates
that she must get the latter before
stoe agrees to arbitrate the boundary
line.”
It *s said at the State Department
that the proposition as to a permanent
Alaskan boundary laid down by Sir
Louis Davis, is nothing more nor less
than a summary of claims heretofore
preferred. When the Commission was
in session last spring, and the Canna
dian proposition was made to settle
the boundary question by arbitration,
the American commissioners replied
by an offer to accept arbitration wit!)
the proviso that no point occupied by
Americans for a specified term of years
should be submitted 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 represented by the discovery
of the Klondike field, be called into
question by the arbitration. This was
one of the final propositions rejected
by the Canadian commissioners, which
ferenee. * Since that time there have
been several suggestions in the nature
of compromises and included among
these was one like that embodied in
Sir Louis Davies’ propositions, name
ly: that the United States should con
firm the Canadian title to Pyramid
harbor for the Canadian confirmation
of the American to Skaguay and Dyea.
It is not possible to accurately fore
cast the view that the State Depart
ment will take of this last proposition,
but it may be proper to recall the fact
that in the opinion of the l>epartment.,
Canada has no more claim to Pyramid
harbor than it has to Skaguay and
Dyea, and the British government has
already been informed of that belief.
Therefore, it seems probable that Sir
Louis Davies’ proposition will not ma
terially advance a permanent settle
ment of the boundary question, and
that the two countries will continue to
act for some time to come under the
terms of the modus vivendi recently
arranged by Secretary Hay and Mr.
Tower.
Fire at Bingham School.
Asheville, N. C., Special.—Fire was

The Last of The Series For The Amer!
ican Cup a Magnificent Rougl
Weather Duel.
New York, Special.—Through wild
and hoary seas, in a breeze that ap
proached the dignity of a gale, the
gallant sloop Columbia vanquished the
British Challenger Shamrock by 6
minutes and 34 seconds, corrected
time, thus completing the series for
the America’s cup with a magnificent
rough weather duel and a glorious
Yankee victory. For the eleventh time
the attempt of a foreigner to wrest
from America the yachting suprem
acy of the world has failed. The in
trinsic value of the reward which hun
dreds of thousands of dollars were ex
pended to secure is small—simply an
antiqated piece of silverware which
Queen Victoria offered to the best sail-
ing ship in the world in the early days
of her reign, but around it cluster the
precious memories of unbroken Amer
ican triumph and the honor of mastery
in the noblest of sports. To Sir
Thomas Liptou, whose name is now
added to the list of defeated aspirants
for Die -honor of carrying the cup back
across the Atlantic, the failure was a
crushing blow. His hope had been
high. But, like the true sportsman
that he is, the sting of defeat has left
no bitterness, and with undaunted
courage, he intimates that -he may be
back with a better boat to try again.
During his stay here, Sir Thomas has
made himself more popular than any
previous challenger, and the yachts
men of this country will be glad to
welcome him back. Except for the re
peated flukes and the unfortunate ac
cident to the challenger on Tuesday,
this series of races has been unmar
red by a single untoward incident. The
boats have had two fair and square
races, one in the light airs and the
other in a heavy blow, and Sir Thomas
is perfectly satisfied that ho was beat
en by the better boat.
The day’s race was a glorious test of
the rough weather qualities of the two
yachts. There was too much frosti
ness in the air for comfort, and it was
fair too rough for landlubbers. The
sky was overcast with cold, gray
clouds and the fierce flaws of the chil-
ling blasts out of the northeast whip
ped the foam out of the racing waves
until they whitened the face of the
sea. Outside the ocean was a riot of
white caps. Some of the holiday fleet
declined to brave the perils of the
harpies riding down on the northeaster
and those that did rolled and plunged
i-n the tumbling billows, sending all
but the old salts below. The prayer of
Sir Thomas for wind was answered. It
was blowing 25 miles an hour at the
light ship, enough wind and enough
sea to make any racing machine stag
ger. The course, fifteen miles before
the wind south by west, carried the
yachts straight down the jersey coast
to a point off Long Branch, so that the
race was sailed in plain view of the
thousands perched upon the heights of
Navesink and stretched along the
* ibore from SeaVwisdJt to Asbnry Bark.
I'EDUATIC.
"The ruah of the yachts through the
Las on the final tack was magnificent
ieysers spurted from the bows and
jenched the sailors lying piled up
♦gainst the weather rail. As the gal
,nt Yankee shot across the finish, be
tween the lightship and committee
jat, the skippers of the fleet that had
>tten there in time almost forgot to
,ben their whistles, so absorbed were
ley in the stirring spectacle. But
iey made up for it later. The defeat
| challenger raced across the line five
Minutes and 17 seconds later.
The much-tooted roaght weather
►at had been beaten over a 30-mile
jurse by six minutes and 18 second
tual time, or with the allowance she
p is to concede the Columbia, on ac-
of her longer water line, six
gtoutes axid 34 seconds. The Shamrock
j t a noiser reception than the Golum-
H as she finished, perhaps because
t e latter’s time at which she crossed
, ive opportunity for some of the be-
ted vessels to get up.
A grand spectacle followed. Ihe vic
r, after lowering her sails, set the
irs and Stripes at her topmast truck,
;both ends of her spreader and at
e taffrail. Soon the whole fleet blos
med out in Ameioan flags. Patriotic
jippers ransacked their lockers for
Lm and they flew from even' staff
and mast. The Corsair, the flagship of
the New Y’ork Yacht Club, had six
flags in the stiff breeze as she went
alongside the Columbia and gave her
three shrieking blasts. Then -her crew
cheered and the hardy Deer Islanders
aboard the Columbia responded with
bared heads. All the ships in the ex
cursion fleet followed, turning loose
their whistles in a maddening chorus,
whose notes ranged from the deep bass
of the sound steamers to the shrill
falsetto of the torpedo boats. Some of
the excursion boats kept the-ir whis
tles going half way to New York. La
ter the Erin, which had remained be
hind for a few minutes with the Sham
rock, steamed up to the Columbia, the
Stars and Stripes fluttering from main
and mizzen. The Corsair greeted her
with cannon, which Sir Thomas ac
knowledged by dipping the English
Jack at the taffrail. Then, by Sir
Thomas’ orders, the crew of the Erin
lined the rail and gave three good
Anglo-Saxon cheers for the victors.
They were returned with interest by
the proud crew of the Columbia. Ihe
American boat was the first to reach
her mooring buoy, -inside the Hook,
and when her late rival came up in
tow, the sailors of both seized the op
portunity to cheer each other lustily.
Sir Thomas went aboard the
Carsit and there soon afterward, Mr.
Iselin, managing owner of the Colum
bia, joined him. There were toasts to
victor and vanquished, to America and
Great Britain, to gentlemen and ladies
and all sorts of things, and so, with
felicitations all around, the cup seriec
for 1899 ended with the best of good
feeling.
