CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1899. MADE A GOOD BARGAIN. Uncle Sam Appears to be the (Valuer by the Agreement a* t« the Alaakan Hon ndary. Washington, Oct. 20. —Up to the close of business at the state department yesterday nothing had been heard from London respecting the Alaskan modus vivendi. When the details of the arrange ment are made public, which will fol low immediately upon its conclusion, it will be found that nearly all of the attempts made up to this point to de scribe the new boundary line accurate ly were inadequate in important re spects. The maximum claim of the United States is not maintained. That was not to be expected in this arrange ment, which was intended particular ly to relieve the situation so far as the I)aßon trail route is concerned. No attempt was made to establish a claim to that territory lying between the head of Chilkoot pass and White pass and the lakes to the north. It does not follow that the United States has relinquished the extreme claim at that point, but simply that by mutual agreement reached about two years ago, the heads of these two passes were recognized as marking points of a temporary divisional line, without sacrificing the permanent rights of either party. This arrangement has been found I<> work without friction and the present is believed to be an inopportune time to disturb it. The point where trouble threatened was on the Dalton trail, although a side trail does connect the points, but is rather the natural pathway from Pyramid Harbor into the Klondike. The United States government, could scarcely contend at this point that the boundary line was to be defined by the prescribed zone of 30 miles from the sea, for in this section of the coun try there is an undeniable mountain range, in which case the treaty pro vided that this range should fix the boundary. Therefore, the new ar rangement draws a line from Chilkoot pass in a direction a little south of west to the mountain peak about ten miles west of the Dalton trail. This line cuts across the Chilkat river some distance above the town of Klnkwan, thus completely cutting off the British possessions from navigable water. It also throws into American territory a triangular section of the Porcupine country, of considerable ex tent. which was claimed by Canada find which is now being prospected by a number of American miners who were driven from the Atlin country by adverse British Columbian legisla tion. Crossing this in the western section is the lower end of the Dalton trail, of which the United States ob tains possession as well as of its ter minus, Pyramid harbor. NOT A BED OF ROSES. Com in in*! oner* of the I'otver* a re Hav ing Their Trouble* in Samoa. San Francisco, Oct. 21.—The steam er Moana has arrived from Australian ports via Apia, Samoa, and Honolulu. A press correspondent at Samoa scuds startling news. He says: The aspect of affairs in Samoa is far from reas suring. There is trouble brewing and it will come soon it Ihe three pow ers do not come to aid the government and the distracted officials. The three consuls who were left Here as a pro visional government by the commis sioners are not finding their position a bed of roses. Trouble has arisen in the Atua dis trict among the natives. The Saleau la natives visited the vicinity to at tend a feast given in their honor. There was a disagreement over the distribution of food and Tuisila, chief of the Nutiateles, struck a man of an other village. The man started to run, and as he turned back the chief drew a revolver and shot him dead. He then turned the weapon on another, with the same result. Another high chief demanded the death of Tuisila and a battle followed, Tuisila being badly injured. He was carried to the German war vessel Kormoran, but nothing could be done for him and he was returning to his own village.where he died. All the natives mixed up in the affray are Mataafa adherents. The 13 chiefs that were asociated with the rebel government now claim that they are the government of Sa moa and have issued a proclamation to the three consuls regarding the poll tax. The paper notifies all Sa moa that a poll tax of $1 a head must be paid by all the able-bodied natives and colored men outside of the town of Apia by November 1. A New Departure in < olie tlaklni;. Chicago, Oct. 20. —The Times Herald says: A revolution in the coke busi ness of the country is promised by tests made of a new system now in operation in Chicago. For the first time sott coal mined west of Pennsyl vania has been coked successfully. Heretofore all efforts have produced a product far less valuable flran the eastern, because the percentage of heat-giving qualities was less. Now an apparatus has been devised where by Illinois, lowa, Indiana and Utah coal may be coked, leaving a com modity of commercial value at less ex pense than eastern 6oke. A Double Tragedy. ft rand Rapids, Mich.. Oct. 21. — Ira C .Hatch, a former prominent business man and politician, yesterday shot and killed Ruby Sherman, afterwards turn ing the revolver upon himself.

Pittsburg, Oct. 20.—After many re ports of settlement and as many dis appointments. the announcement is made that the window glass wage scale has finally been agreed upon. President Burns, of the Workers' as sociation. withdrew his demand for the extra advance for New Jersey fac tories and 11 A- settlement as made gives the workers a general advance of about 0 per cent. It is believed that the manufacturers have also agreed to the original propositions of the Cutters' league and the Flatteners' association. COLOMBIA WINS. The America's Cup Will Remain in This Country. For tlir ICleventli Time an llnslltb in it n II a M Sought to Bfcovrr Hit Trophy Captured IS Year* Ajju, and Hi' HUM Failed - Third and l.aat If are H«» a (.rami « onuit. New York, Oct. 17.—The Dip which tli«' old schooner America won so com mandingly against all comers over the course around the Isle of Wight in 1851 and brought back across the sea will probably remain here another year, a defiance to the world. In a glorious breeze over a windward and leeward course of 30 miles the Colum bia yesterday scored against the Shamrock in the first race of the 1890 scries for the trophy. She bounded across the finish line fully a mile and n half ahead of the challenger, defeat ing her by ten minutes and 11 seconds actual time, or 10 minutes and 8 sec onds corrected time, after allowing the six seconds handicap which the Co lumbia must concede to the challenger on account of her longer water line. It was a decisive contest, a magnifi cent race, magnificently sailed, and magnificently won. Opinions as to the merits of fhe two boats had been somewhat divided as ti result of the flukes during the past two weeks. Al though the preponderance of expert opinion never wavered in its loyalty to the wonderful speed and ability of the white flyer, no nautical sharp expect ed the Shamrock would be so over whelmingly vanquished as she was in Monday's struggle. The Yankee boat outgeneralled her at the start, beat her hopelessly in windward work to the outer mark and gained 22 seconds in the run home before the wind. There was a strong ten to twelve knot breeze, and it held throughout the race. New York. Oct. 18.—The topmast of the Shamrock was carried away 25 minutes after the big single sticker had crossed the starting line yesterd-ty and her enormous club sail with its 1,- 00C feet of canvas came rattling down on the deck, leaving her a helpless cripple. No amount of pluck or cour age could face such a catastrophe and C'apt. Hogarth immediately abandoned the race, towing back to the anchorage after he had cleared away the wreck age. The Columbia continued over the course alone, placing to tier credit the second of the races for the Amer ica's cup. New York, Oct. 21.—Through wild high seas, in a breeze that approached the djgnity of a gale, the gallant sloop Columbia on Friday vanquished Ihe British challenger Shamrock by fix minutes and IS seconds actual time and six minutes and 34 seconds cor rected time, thus completing the series for the America's cup with a magnifi cent rough weather duel anil a glori ous Yankee victory. For the eleventh time the attempt of n foreigner to wrest from America the yachting supremacy of the world lias failed. The trophy won by the old schooner Amer ica 48 years ago is still ours, a monu ment to the superiority of American seamanship and American naval archi tecture, and a standing challenge to llie yachtsmen of all nations. Un beaten America again tastes the glory of victory. The intrinsic value of the reward which hundreds of thousands of dol lars were expended to secure is small —simply an antiquated piece of silver ware which Queen Victoria offered to the best sailing ship in the world iu the early days of her reign, but around it. cluster the precious memories of unbroken American triumph and the honor of mastery in the noblest of sports. To Sir Thomas Lipton, whose name is now added to the list of defeated aspirants for the honor of carrying the cup back across the Atlantic, failure was a crushing blow. His hope had been high. But like t lie 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. Except for the flukes and the un fortunate accident on Tuesday this series of races has been unmarred by a single untoward incident. The boats have had two fair and square races, one in light air and the other in a heavy blow, and Sir Thomas Is perfect ly satisfied that he was beaten by the better boat. Yesterday's race was a glorious test of the rough weather qualities of the two yachts. There was too much frostiness in the air for comfort, and it was far too rough for landlubbers. The sky was over cast with clouds and the fierce blows of a chilling blast out. of the north east. whipped the foam out of the waves until they whitened the face of the sea. Outside the ocean was a riot of whitecaps. The prayer of Sir Thomas for wind was answered. It was blowing 25 miles an hour at the lightship, enough wind and enough sea to make any racing machine stagger. Even the pilot boats that can weather any gale, were under shortened sail. The course, 15 miles before the wind, south toy west, carried the yachts straight town the Jersey coast to a point u!T Loijv Branch, so the race was sailed in pain view of thousands perched upon 'i ie heights of Navcsink and stretch<<] along the shore from Sea bright i, Anbury Park.
