Vieror RosEWATER. Omaha, Oct. 5, 190: ] TALKING OF THE BOUNDARY Claims that Par- | American Advocnte Hament of Great Britain Agrees with His Contention. LONDON, Oct At the Alaska boundar Dickinson of American counsel, continued his argument. He contended that Great Britain's clafm than Vancouver's narra- tive was relied upon by the original nego- tlators, was not substantlated by the evi- dence submitted by British counsel. Van- couver'’s map was accepted by the United States, but not this narrative, in spite of Attorney General Finley arguing, which Sir Louls Jett, leutenant governor of the province of Quebec and one of the ‘com- missioners for Great Britain, supported Mr. Dickinson contended that the line through Portland channel was always un- derstood to run through the middie of the channel itself, and not along its side. A minute examination of maps then mono- polized the proceedings. Continuing Mr. Dickinson maintained that the British argument at the best only raised a doubt as to whether or not the “Portland canal” of the treaty ls the “channel” clalmed by the United States. If there was any such doubt, it must be solved by evidence of the interpretation Great Britain and Russia gave to the meaning of the treaty by their subsequent acts. Thelr acts conclusively proved that the identity of the Portland canal was not only never questioned until 1888 or 1889, but on the other hand that it was alw: shown by the maps and official acts of the governments to be the channel claimed in 1859, by order of Parllament naming the lower, part of the disputed body of water “Portland inlet,” which was a distinct of- ficlal declaration on the part of Great Britain in recognizing the United States present contention. The commission will adjourn after the Tuesday morning session, so as to enable the members to attend the memorial ser- vicés for Sir Michael Herbert. KING WILL MAKE SELECTION Forelgn Office and Premler Have Little to Do in Appointing Herbert's Suce today's session of commissi Mr. LONDON, Oct. 5.—~While the government is endeavoring to maintain its resolve not to consider the question of a successor to Sir Michael Herbert at the Washington’ embassy at present, there is “eason to be- Heve to considerable wire pulling is going on and several women prominent on both sides of the Atlantic are becoming Inter- ested in the matter. It ls known that after the death of Lord Pauncefoot the appoint- ment of Sir Michael Herbert was opposed | by several well known New York people and a prominent English woman then visit- ing America and who was supposed to huve the ear of the king, was enlisted on thelr side, and that it was with great difficulty that the king's consent was obtalned to Sir Michael Herbert's appointment.

NO HOPE OF MOVEMENT BY OCTOBER 8 Japan, Conducting Nego Treaty, Says that the W Difficnlt, but War is Not in Sight. ! LONDON, Oct. 5.—No apprehension exists in the minds of the British government or the diplomatists In London that the far eastern situation will bring forth any fm- mediate serfous developments, This feel- ing of temporary security on the eve of the day that Russia should, but admittedly will not, evacuate Manchuria, is due to as- surances on the part of Japan that so long as the negotiations now proceeding between itself and Russia present a reasonable prospect that a settlement will be reached. Japan will take no action hostile to Rus- #la In the matter of Manchuria. It is further learned that the negotia- tions looking to a final settlement of the | Russo-Japanese spheres of influence in the far east, and especially dealing with the situation in Korea are progressing satis- factory at Tokio. No treaty however, has yet been signed, and it is unlikely the negotiations will bhe concluded by October %, the date on which Russia was to eva- cuate Manchuria Russia’s failure to evacuate on that day, however, will not participate a crisis as Japan, rather than break off the negotiations covering broadly all the issues between itself and Russia, is willing to strain a point regarding Man- churfa in the hope of arriving at a satis- factory settlement. Elements of Danger. Tn all of this the British government acquelsces. Such elements of immediate danger as the far eastern situation pre- sents appears to be confined solely to the popular agitation in Japan against Rus- sian occupation of Manchurla after Octo- ber 8 This, however, is being taken into consideration by the Japanese government, whose diplomats have warned Rus- sin that while the Japanese gov- ernment will not allow its hand to be forced to the extent of entering into agreements over the Manchuria question it cannot indefinitely prolong the present negotiations at Tokio in the face of the ex- pected popular clamor. From the Japanese embassy in London, the Associated Press has secured the fol- lowing statement of the prevalling condi- tions: We are forced to believe that it is phy- siclally impossible for Russia to fulfill its promise to evacuate Manchuria by Octo- ber 8, but we do not anticipate a crisis on that account. It would be making the Jes- ser include the greater were we to break off the negotiations mow In progress at Toklo because of Russia’s failure to keep its promise on the exact date. So far as is known no naval or military preparations have been undertaken by Japan to meet any expected emergency. Obviously, we have made no representa- tions to Russia regarding the evacuation of Manchurla, because we would be distlnctly out of order until Russia has brokon its promisd. We have hopes that a final set- tlement' may be reached between Russia and ourselves that will settle once for all our outstanding disputes Negotiations 1 The negotiations for a treaty for that end have now been transferred to Tokio, where the Russian minister, who !s sald to be a pacific and broad-minded diplomat, is carrying on affairs with our foreign min- ister. How long it will be before an under- standing can be reached it is Impossible to say. In spite of the natural irritated feel- ings of our people, we frankly recognize the gravity to Russia of these questions, and we have no wish to demand a peremptory settlement. Still, we cannot go on Lor ever and though we realize that it is scarcely likely that the treaty can be signed by October 8, we have clearly indicated that after that date haste becomes more &nd more essentia From Japan's viewpoint the crux of the whole situation is Kbrea. Russia knows that we will fight to the death rather than let any foreign country occupy i<orea. Rus- sla’s timber concessions there and the cther cvident interest it has exhibited in Korea render the present negotlations extremely difficult, but the horizon snows no clouds 80 dark as (o threaten war. Great Britain as our ally is naturally cog- nizant of the trend of our present nego:l: tions, all of _which look toward peace. W have no reason to believe that Russia's eastern fleet Is actuated by an intention to prepare for hostilities any more than are our own necessary preparations for the best equipment for the convenience of our navy and army. Russin Is Not Disturbed. | PARIS, Oct. 5.—The Russian government | has made it known that Japan's mobiliza- tion of troops for transportation to Corea does not, up to today, constitute an un- friendly act against Russia. At the same time the Rossian government is belng kept fully advised as to the extent and nature of Japan's military and naval moblilization. 1t appears from these official sources that Japan thus far has embarked three divisions of troops and the Japanese fleet is now between Chemulpo and Fusan. ‘The ships continue under steam, but noth ing is known beyond this concerning their purpose. Baron de Rosen, the Russian minister to Japan, has returned to Toklo after an ex- tended conference at Port Arthur with Ad- miral Alexieff, who recently designated to assume supreme control of Russian in- terests in the far east. The results of this conference are not known. | Thirteen Persons Drowned. MASLIUS, Holland, Oct. 5.—The French lugger President Carnot has been wrecked off the Hook of Holland.

FOUR KILLED, MANY INJURED Work Train Crashes Into m Seuthern Pacific Cars Loaded with Iron. 108 ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 5.—Four rail- road laborers were killed and thirteen in- jured, two of them probably fatally in a collision at the southern end of Chata- worth yard tunnel on the Southern Pacific today. The victims belonged to a crew of 100 men being taken to work. The dead: MARTIN SALYERS, Los Angeles. JAMES M'CONNELL, Los Angeles. IRISH LABORER, name and residence unknown. MEXICAN, name unknown, At 3:3 o'clock this morning a working train left Driver station In this city and proceeded to Chatsworth Park, where 100 men were taken aboard the first car, which was loaded with rallroad steel and con- struction materlal. The engine was placed behind the train and pushed out on the new cut-off leading to the partly com- pleted tunnel, six miles distant, where were two flat cars loaded with railrond fron, which had been left on the main track Saturday night and which were to have baen picked up by« ‘work train. The engineer fur some unknown reason did not slacken speed and the first car, laden with the laborers, crashed into the stationary cars on the track. The impact doubled both cars up like jackknives and threw the five score of men into the air on all sides. The majority saved them- selves by jumping, but many were injured by the fiying pleces of steel. The dead and injured were quickly placed in a box car, which was hastily prepared with straw on the floor, and the run to Los Angeles was made. Ambulances met the train and the men were taken to the | hospital.

The man, who gave his name as Peter Elllott and his home n Minneapolis, w overpowered by the officers on duty at the White House entrance and carried to a police van which had been summoned He was placed in the van in the custody of two officors. Seeming to realize then for the first time that he was under arrest, Elliott began a iurious strugsle with his captors for liberty. He drew a revolver and | attempted to shoot Officer James Ciscle The officer grabbed his hand and wrenched .the weapon from his grasp. Elliott's struggles were so flerce, how- ever, that the two officers in the cramped quarters of the van were unable to over come him. Oficer Ciscle then drew his revolver and fired two shots to attract at tention Chlef Usher Thomas Stone and Officer Parker of the White House force, who had assisted in carrying Elliott to the van, at- tracted by the shots rushed back to the vehicle and assisted in overpowering him. In the struggle within the police van, Elllott had broken a glass panel with his head, severely cutting his head and face. Officer Ciscle sustained a serious cut on his right arm, two inches of flesh being cut out of the fleshy part of the arm. e suf- fered rom loss of blood, but his Injury is not serious. Both Taken The van was hurried to the emergency hospital, where the injuries of both Ciscle and Elliott were dressed Elliott is undoubtedly violently insane Several days ago Secretary Loeb received a letter, postmarked Washington and writ- ten on ietter paper of the St. James hotel, this city. The letter inclosed a photograph of Elliott and an incoherent request for an interview with President Roosevelt The letter was signed “Peter EIL" the statement belng made immediately under the signature that the writer was regis- tered at the hotel as Peter Elliott. It was evident to Secrctary Loeb that his corre- spondent was Insane and he fssued direc- tions at once that the officers on duty both at the White House and at the executive office ghould be on their guard against him. The photograph was turned over to the secret service officers. At that time the man manifested no | symptoms of insanity and quietly left the vielnity of the church when ordered to do so by the officers. Asks to See President. Ahout W o'cloek this morning peared at the executive offices. Enteping the vestibule he inquired for Presi, Roosevelt. One of the doorkeepers asked him what he wanted to see the president for. “Oh, ust for fun," he responded. “The president sent for me and I just want to see him."” \ Elliott was told to return next month, He smiled and walked away, not offering the slightest objection to the rebuff which he had received. His appearance at- tracted very little attention and he gave no indication at that time of insanity. Warned to He on Lookout. All of the officers, both at the White House and at the executive office, however, were warned again to be on the lookout for the man and not take any chances with | him. - Shortly before 12 o'clock Elifott walked up to the main door of the White House, stepped inside and inquired of Officer Cis- cle if he might see the president. Chiet Usher Stone and Officer Parker were standing just within the vestibule at the time. Mr. Stone told the man that he could not sce the president just at moment, (as he was engaged, but that he might possibly arrange to see him after a while. Instantly, the man having been recognized, a hurry call was sent for a po- lice van Scarcely had the call been sent in when | Elliott beeame violent. The officers and at- tendants, after a brief but strenuous strug- gle, overpowered him. Officer Ciscle made @ hurried examination of his pockets. but | found only a pair of shears and a penknife, The man became quiet, but refused to leave the White House until he was forced to go. The officers conveyed him to the po- lice van, which by that time was walting at the gate of the White House grc is. st to Hospital. | he ap- that | i wle fu the Van, The struggle in the van occurred almost | tmmediately after Elliott had been placed in the vebicle.

A committee of seven the Business Men's association, Mahoney and Buclid Martin spokes- men, ded at a general committce meeting of the councll yesterday afternoon in getting the ordinance forbidding the dis- tribution of cards, dodgers and circulars on the streets retained. The existence of the law was threatened by a proposed ordi- nance, instigated by the labor unfons, which seeks to substitute the word “scatter” for the word “distribute,” and to thus allow any kind of advertising to be put in efrcu- lation, provided it was not cast upon the fewalk or pavement The present ordinance, which sustained by the supreme court, the unlons from passing boycott cards on the streets. The substitute ordinance would repeal the old and permit the boycott sys- tem After listening to Attorney Mahoney and Euclid Martin all the councilmen present. Huntington, Evans, Back, Dy- ball and O'Brien, voted to instruct the ju- diclary committee to file the ordinance to- ward which objection had been made. Then Councilman Huntington, who had been acting as chairman, thanked the busi- ness men coming to the city hall, in- vited them to be there often and take a hand In legislation and said their co-opera- tlon and influence is much desired by the council, Huntington's remark the counellmen were applauded. President Stickney of the Great Wostern was another orator before the council. He plaaded in favor of the ordinance, which would give the line certain terminal con- cossfons by vacating streets, saying that while there would he injury to some, the majority would benefit.
