GREED OF CANADA.
Again I'pjets Neeotiations for Settle
ment of lluuitdnry l)ipute.
Late developments in the efforts of this
Government to effect a tenq ornry settle
ment of the Alaska boundary dispute
have demor. st rated the futility of hoping
to accomplish unything by the menus
usually employed when diplomatic ques
tions are concerned.
The lutest evidence of the greed of the
'anadiuus is contained in their claim to tin. Porcupine district, and their demand
that it shall be recognized the modus
vlvcndi as Canadian territory. This pre
Istcrous claim affects the lights of over 2,000 American miners. It has shown
the President and Secretary Hay that
conciliation aud concession are lost upon
the Canadians; thnt tile time has come
for the American Government to stand
against further greed.
The instructions to Ambassador Choate
have been very positive regarding the
stand he is to maintain. He has been
directed to notify Great Britain that the
United States cannot entertain the most
recent proposition for a temporary Alas
kan boundary. He has been told to say
that, If the proposition is insisted upon this Government cannot -outitiue uegolia
tious. The position of the United States
Is almost an ultimatum. ANXIOUS TO QUIT.

LOST IN SHIPWRECK,
Steamer Margaret Olwlll Goes Down
In Luke Krle.
In a northeast gale Ihe steamer Mar
garet Olw-ill, laden with stone from Kcl
ley's Island to Cleveland, foundered in
Lake Erie off Lorain, Ohio. Nine per
sons were drowned. Four members of the crew have been picked up by passing
steamers and taken into Ulevelund.
From the reports of the survivors the Olwill's cargo of stone shifted wh;l, the
vessel was laboring in the trough of th
5ca. Shortly before it went down the rud
der chains parted, allowing it to fall off
into the trough. As the helpless craft
rose on top of a heavy sea the stone slid
to leeward, the steamer listed heavily and sank to the botom. The rescued mem
hers of the crew were found floating on the surface of Lake Erie, clinging to bits of wreckage. Their rescue was attended
by exhibitions of great heroism, for a
heavy sea was still running when they
were picked up.
The Olwill lies in fifty feet of water, eight miles off Lorain. It belonged to L.
I', and J. A. Smith of Cleveland aud had been carrying stone from the quarries at Kelley's Island to Cleveland for the breakwater now being built. The Olwill was launched in 1887 and was 175 feet
long and 34 feet beam. It measured 554
gross tons.
NO LIMIT TO ARMY.
Recruiting Officers to Make Enlist
ments Until Notified to Desist,
The War Department at Washington
has not yet placed a hunt upon the niim
ber of men to be recruited for the Philippines. Secretary Alger suys that the recruiting ofIieers huve been instructed to make enlistments until the department orders to the contrary. He would not sny
when the recruiting would stop. He au uouueed, however, that it was the pur pose of the department to furuisB Gen,
Otis soldiers not only to take the place of
those Incapacitated by sickness and
wounds and those killed in the harassing
sorties of the Filipinos during the rainy season, but also to furnish garrisons aud police for the cities and towns occupied
by the Luited States. At present a com
paratively small force will be required for
this purpose. When active campaigning
is resumed after the close of the rainy season, and the American army with a
lighting force of 30,000 proceeds against
the 1 liipmos, their progress should be rapid, and hence a large reserve force
will be required to garrison the places
captured.
