Fuller, Dick Haney. 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 discovered Tuesday morning at 8 o - clock in one section of the barracks of Bingham school.

L Shamrock Defeated and the Cup Sts i Remains in America. . i> I A FINE WIND AND A GREAT RACt | * 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.
