Proposal to Cede Canada a Strip for Sealing Concessions. A dispatch frofm Quebec yesterday says: The American members of the International commission have today reccived many tele- grams from different parts of the United Siates, and particularly from Seattle, ask- ing about the cession of American territory to give Cgnadians freer access to the Yukon river in Alaska. It has been reported that the Canadian commissioners were demanding the cession of the territory from Yakutat bay to Dix- on’s entrance, cluding the cities of Skag- uay and Dyea, thus extending the Cana- dian boundary line to the Pacific ocean be- tween the points named, the cession being given in return for the surrender of all British rights 1o the seaj fisheries in the Bering sea. 4 It is quite possible that such a proposition has been made by the Canadian commis- sioners, but it is stated officially that the matter has not been fully considered by the joint commission and that no proposi- tion whatever has been accepted. ——___ + o+____ PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT. A Big Increase Shown by the Sep- tember Report. ‘The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business Sep- tember 30, 1808, the debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to $1,067,479,205, an in- crease for the month of $54,608,488. The increase in the cash during September was $13,070,418. The total increase of the debt on account of the war loan, independent of cash, is $142,720,820, of which about $68,- 000,055 was added during September. The debt is recapitulated as follows: Interest-bearing debt, $900,058,600; debt on which interest has ceased since maturity, $1,256,790; debt bearing no ‘interest, $383,- 691,318. Total, $1,375,036,708. This amount, however, does not include $54,057,583 in certificates and treasury notes outstanding which are affected by an equal amount of cash in the treasury held for their redemp- tion. The cash in the treasury is classified as follows: Gold, $278,601,452; silver, $500,308,- S74; paper, $60,608,771; bonds, deposits in national banks, disbursing officers’ bal- ances, etc., $82,526,725.

Cycle racing in the Hawaiian Islands 1s deader than the proverbial door nail, ac- cording to two exponents of cycling in that country now in attendance at the law school of Yale College. These gentlemen are William T. Rawlins, formerly the man- ger of the island champion in the ama- teur ranks, and Albert R. Cunha. “The $7,000 track which qe had in Hawaii,” said Mr. Rawlins, “has been torn up, and we now have no track at all. This track was one of the finest I have ever seen, being lo- cated around a lake which was up to the pole on the complete circle. A man fall- ing over the pole went into the water every time. Several American riders were in our country and two are left there, Al- len Jones and Danny Whitman of Califor- nia. Both are in the bicycle business and both are making money, but not in racing.” There will never again be a southern cir- cuit of coliseums, for all of those which Prince promoted have gone wrong with one exception. The Memphis Coliseum was turned Into a storage warehouse and lately burned to the ground. It was a constant less. The Montgomery Coliseum is a rope factory now, and Chattanooga's Coliseum is on the permanent black list of ihe L. A. W. The Nashville Coliseum will cost as much to modernize and repair as it cost to build. Atlanta is left, and this city may Fromote some fall meets for the cracks. Jay Eaton, the indoor king, is a prover- bially lucky man. Eaton need not race to make a living, for whatever he turns his hand to makes money for him. With the horses he wins th large amounts, at cards he is the luckiest man that travels circuit and in betting he seemingly wins always. Eaton has been following the horses since his fall at Mahanoy, which left him with a very bad head, whfch he has had to have operated upon again and agin. Eaton will return to the track shortly. Charlie Miller, the American, and Freder- icks, the European rider, who was second to Miller in the recent seventy-two-hour race in Parts, were thoroughly examined after the contest and both were pronounced in fine condition physically and not at all affected by the hard ride. The papers of France pronounced the race cruelty in the xtreme. Miller rode as finely in the con- test as he did in the New York race of last December, and the American showed not the slightest effects of the hard ride. This apparently plated a damper upon those who claimed he was 2 ruined man consti- tutionally after his New York grind. Miller will ride in the next six-day race in New York and is considered the most likely man to win, in spite of the fact that there are already fifty entries. Hausman and Collett, the New Haven cracks and amateur champions, will likely turn professional next season. This team forms the strongest aggregation of tan- dem riders in the world. They have an unpaced mile in 1.46 2-5, a competition mile in 1.541-5 and other companion: miles in 1.55 2-5 and 1.55 3-5. On singles with good training the pair is likely to develop abil- iueemnow unknown in the professional ranks. New Haven cleared $1,300 on its national eircult meet. One of the promoters was asked right after the meet whether money wwas made, and he said none was made. Promoters themselves are responsible for the reports that cycle race promoting does not pay, as one and all seem possessed to eC cut the impression that money is lost yy them in meet promoting, probably in order that others may be kept out of the game. As a matter of fact, few meets have not paid this season. If promoters would give out correct reports, other promoters would enter the game and the circuits would not be broken up as they are by pang with weak hearts who believe all they ear, At Mineola, Long Island, Tuesday, a clever trick was played upon Gardiner, the crackajack, by a number of second-raters out for pot hunt.
