bt?ry and the United States mbnsndor have reached an agreement regarding Dalton trail on the Chllkoot a?s. which has Yxrn such an obstacle, to the settlement of a modus rivendi. The correspondent of the Associated lress learns, however, on high authority, that the modus Vivendi does not imply that the boundary question has been settled or compromised, but simply that a temporary boundary has been arranged and will bt prerved for two years, whih interval will be available for settlement of the main question s.t issue." V The French government has taken steps to renew actively negotiations for a reciprocity treaty with tho United States, and to that end has appointed M. Carpentler as special delegate to assist Ambassador Cambon In conducting ths negotiations. M. Chapentier will arrive t New York from Paris to-morrow and come to Washington to tako up the work. Ambassador Carobon was at the State Department to-day arranging the preliminaries with Mr. Kasson, the reciprocity commissioner. The negotiations with France were bosrun some time ago. and then came to a complete halt. The disposition of the French authorities Is very favorable) towards securing a treaty, and as a basis for this they are ready to concede tho minimum tariff list, which Is about 20 per cent, below the minimum list now levied on American goods. The concessions desired from the United States are those under Section 4 of the Dingley tariff law. A partial reciprocity arrangement was made with France some months ago. but a much more extensive treaty is desired. Negotiations for reciprocity with British Guiana have proceeded to briskly that confident hope Is expressed that a treaty will be signed next year. Sir Cavendish Boyle and Mr. J. 11. Deyonge, of British Guiana, and Mr. Tower, the British charge, have held numerous conferences with Mr. Kasson. In which the proposed treaty has been urged as having three-fold advantages. First, the Guiana commissioners maintain that their large product of raw sugar will come naturally to the United States, and that it Is to the Interest of the country to receive the product rather than have it go abroad for refining: second, that there is a large market for American goods in British Guiana, particularly for mining machinery, agricultural Implements and food products, and. lastly, that the shipping interests will be materially benefited by having the trade between the two countries enlarged. The desire Is o to shape the reciprocity arrangement that shins going In either direction will be assured of full cargoes instead of only ballast one way. - Secretary Long has passed on the armor bids submitted recently, deciding to purchase a small quantity of armor and let the next Congress decide what shalf be done towards securing the remainder needed for the armored ships already authorized. The armor companies having stated they could not furnish Krupp armor of the high grade required by the department at the price fixed by the law, but that they could continue the, supply of ILarveyized armor at $100 per ton, the secretary has ordered the purchase of some of the latter. The bureau chiefs have reported that this Harveyized armor would answer the requirements for the armor of the four monitors to be built and also for the diagonal plates of the battle ships Maine, Missouri and Ohio, now under construction. The diagonal plates are wrought Into the ships at a comparatively early period of the construction, and the secretary s decision will go far toward preventing the delay that would ensue had it been decided to purchase no armor. Minister Calvo, of Costa Rica, has been advised by his government that the two companies of troops sent a short time ago to Port Liroon, near the Nlcaraguan barber, because of the assemblage there of large bodies of Nicaragua troops on the border, had been withdrawn. The minister accepts- this as showing that there is no further likelihood of a clash between the Nlcaraguan and the Costa Rlcan troops on the border. The press reports that trouble had been caused by the action of the Costa Rlcans In refusing to allow Nlcaraguan troops to cross Costa Rlcan territory, or to move along the San Juan river, is attributed by Mr. Calvo to the simple fact that General Torres, the Nlcaraguan commander, probably was without the usual government permit required when an outside military force enters the territory of a foreign government. The minister feels satisfied that the small border disturbances have not affected the two governments so as to cause a rupture between them. The Itinerary of the Presidents New England trip Is almost completed. He will leave here on Friday, June 18, for Holyoke. Mass., where he will be the guest on Saturday and Sunday of the Hon. William Whiting, who served with the President during his congressional career. On Monday the President will go to Northampton to attend the Ivy day exercises at Smith College, and on Tuesday to South Hadley to attend the graduating exercises at Mount Holyoke Seminary. His niece will be one of the graduates. On Wednesday he will go to Springfield and on Thursday to Adams, Mass., where he will be the guest for several Mays of W. B. Plunkett, president of the Home Market Club, of Boston. The Preridnt will be gone about ten days. Mrs. McKlnley will accompany the President. John W. Lalor, of Milwaukee, a translator In the office of the director of the mint, lost his balance and fell from the second floor In the Treasury Department to-day down the shaft which the stairway surrounds to the basement, probably receiving fatal injuries. Mr. Lalor Is a wellknown writer on political economy and Is the author of an encyclopedia on that subject. He translated various works, including "Principles of Political Economy." from the German, and "An Essay on the Historical Method In Political Economy," from the French. The President has approved an amendment to Rule 6 of the civil-service rules, exempting from examination one assistant postmaster, or chief assistant to the postmaster, at each postoffice. This position had been exempted prior to the issue of the President's recent order and was overlooked In the drafting of the order. Assistant Secretary Melklejohn to-day promulgated Immigrant regulations for the Island of Cuba. These regulations are substantially the same as those now In force for the United States, except that the regulations for Cuba make no distinction between aliens arriving from Canada and Mexico and other foreign countries, as I dene In the regulations for this country. PTobably in the spirit of comity towards thr United States, the government of Colombia has granted a new trial to the Amer-

Brazil, an explanation of the reported trouble at Manaos. which makes it clear that the affair was of slight importance and was followed by no 111 results. It ap pears that the objection manifested to the progress up the Amazon river of the gunboat Wilmington was based on a feeling of local Jealousy, it being apprehended that the Wilmington's voyage up to Iqtiito. far tey0nd Manaos. would discover to the com mercial world the advantages of the for mer to the loss of Manaos. The demonstration that occurred, however, was insignifi cant, was not made by representative people and was deprecated by the best ele ments. The gooi reeling which was attempted to be disturbed is restored firmer than ever, says Mr. Kennedy. The consul incidentally mentions the fact that the Governor of Para would turn over to him a variety of exceptionally fine animals for the national zoo at Washington. The War Department has prepared a statement showing the number of enlist ments In the regular army since the war began. At that time the army consisted of twenty-five thousand men.

Y BLOWN IP, Many Liven Imperiled, but Only Two Men Severely Injured rain's riant Also Damaged. NEW . YORK. June 8. Thirty-six buildings, comprising almost the entire plant of the Nordlinger-Charlton Fire-works Company, at Granitevllle, Richmond borough, were blown up this afternoon and the entire fire-works plant practically wiped out of existence. Although the fires, which followed the explosion, lasted for several hours, the wreck was complete within a few minutes. No lives were lost, and but three persons were Injured, two of them seriously. The loss on the building will probably not amount to over $3,500, as most of the structures were small and cheaply constructed. The loss on material, raw and that made up' Into fire-works, will amount to over $30,000. The amount of Insurance on the works is not known tonight The first explosion occurred In the rocketcharging room. This' was a email building about twelve feet square. No one was In the building at the time and the first Intimation the 115 employes in the works had of what was to follow was the bursting of the sides of the building, accompanied by an explosion. The roof of the building shot Into the air and rockets exploded and flew in all directions. They carried the fire Into all parts of the works, crashing through windows and flying through open doorways. The operators in the various buildings rushed out into the yards. The -flying rockets, many of them of the greatest power, made it almost as dangerous for the employes to be out of the buildings as to be Jn them. As they rushed out explosion followed explosion as the buildings flew In the air. After a score of explosions three heavy ones that shook the ground for miles took place. These were the three storehouses in which supplies for the Fourth of July were being held. Through flying rockets, burning splinters and balls of fire the employes rushed to safety. Only two were In any way severely burned. These were E. E. Thuyster, a machinist. Thomas Fox, a packer, who was badly burned about the head and body.

MARION, lnd., June 8 The Chicago Pipe-line Company, which Is laying a teninch line from the ga3 field In this county to Chicago, is preparing to erect a pumping station in this county that will cost J2,000. The company already has a large pumping station near Greentown, Howard county. It Is understood the pipe line that Is being laid to Chicago will cost 51,300,000. The reason for the lavish expense of the pipe-line company is said to be on account of its intimate connection with the Manhattan Oil Company, tho strongest competitor of the Standard Oil Company. The stockholders are said to be about the same. At the present time the Manhattan company has no pipe line to Chicago. After the gas supply is exhausted in this field the Manhattan Oil Company will swallow up the Chicago Pipeline Company's plant and use its lines to pump oil to Chicago. The new pumping station. It is said, will be so constructed that It may be converted into an oll-pump-Ing station. ELKS' SHOW A SUCCESS. Over 0,000 Paid Admissions Each Day nt the SInncle Fair.

The result of the lively contests will not be known until to-morrow. The brass band contests were continued, as they will be during the whole week.

The business sessions of the Sons of Veterans Encampment and the Ladies' Auxiliary occupied the greater part of the day. The report bf Miss Addle May Wallace, of Indianapolis, president of the L. A. S., showed that the order was in better condition numerically and financially than in Its history. Division Commander Thompson reported a decrease in membership of the Sons of Veterans of one hundred caused by the enlistment in the war with Spain. Many of the members are still in Cuba and the Philippines. The financial report was very gratifying. The street parade this afternoon was an imposing sight, all the civic and military orders taking part, with four brass bands. Company C, One-hundred-and-sixty-first Indiana, gave an exhibition drill and guard mount. This evening the Knlghtstown Band gave an open air concert.

Nelson, whom the County Commissioners elected county superintendent by resolution Instead of ballet, as required by the newlaw, has secured possession of the office notwithstanding Finley Gelge,r, the incumbent, refused to surrender. Geiger Is in Kansas City on business, and last evening the commissioners ordered the sheriff to unlock the otlice, which is in the courthouse, and to give Nelson the key. This was one and Nelson is now In charge. The commissioners state that the new law gives them authority to furnish to the county superintendent an oflice and they did so. This places a new aspect on the situation, and instead of Geiger holding the otlice until the Supreme Court passes on the matter Nelson will hold it while Geiger brings action to have it returned to him. For the pa?t ten years there has. been almost continual litigation over the county superintendency in this county, and the citizens generally of both parties are growing weary of it.

SLIGHT RIOTS IN PARIS

CLASHES IlETWEE REVISIONISTS AND ANTI-REVISIONISTS. French Government Preparing to Repress Demonstrations on Sunday Dreyfus to Sail To-Day. PARIS. June R. Slight riots occurred this evening between the revisionists and the anti-revisionists after a meeting addressed by M. Francis De Pressense, of the Temps, in the Cllchy district of Paris. There were several fights between rioters an police, who charged the populace. Finally the revisionists made a move, toward the residence of M. Zola, with the object of demonstrating, but the police interfered. Several revolver shot were fired during the disturbances and twenty persons were placed under arrest. In the lobbies of the Chamber of Deputies to-day theTe was much talk of the possibility of the overthrow of the Dupuy Cabinet next week. Gossip says that President Loubet Is not too well pleased at the failure of the government to take greater precautions to prevent the Auteull demonstration and would not be averse to a change of ministers in any event. The probable list of members of a new Cabinet are passing from hand to hand. Much depends upon the outcome of threatened demonstrations at the Grand Prix. M. Dupuy presided at the Cabinet council to-day when the measures to be taken were considered. It Is announced that the government has decided not to allow any of the generals who are mixed up in the Dreyfus affair to take part in the review at Long Champs on July liThe refusal of the government to allow M.

Northam was run ashore near New creek this morning to prevent her from sinking. Durirur the night she collided with the steamer Richard Peck.

The nose of the Peck struck full and forced its way into the inner works of the Northam. In less than half an hour the 125 passer gers of the Northam had found quarters on the Peck. The Peck was but slightly damsged. The Northam, however, was in seiious straits and it was decided to beach her. The Peck, her officers having satisfied themselves that the Northam would be able to reach shore, drew away and proceeded on her trip to New York. The Northam is lying easily, slowly working her way up the beach with the incoming tide. The Parlss Position Shifted.
