Russia, it has been teamed by the Associated Press, has at last agreed to arbitrate -with the United States the claims resulting from (the seizure of sealers in the Behring sea, which Wave been pending for about eight years. ' A protocol between the two governments have been. drawn up; the final formalities are expected to be concluded next month and the arhitra tion will probably take the form of the Venzuelan court. Washington, October 24. These claims originated in the seizure by the Russian authorities off 'Che coast of Siberia, of three American sealing ves sels, and the damages Claimed aggre gate about $150,000. T The vessels were the James Hamilton Lewis, the Cape Horn Pigeon and the C. II. White. In each case Uhe largest item of the claim Is on account of the sufferings of the American officers and crew while un der arrest. . The cases duffer from those claims presented 'by British sealers, which were settled by the Behring sea arbitration, in the fact that while Che British vessels were seized by the American "revenue cutters on what the arbitration declared to be the high seas, the Russian men-of-war seized these American sealers within seven miles of the Asiatic coast. It is a matter of in terest tfhat for the first time the Rus sian government contends that marine Jurisdiction of a country extends at least this distance from the shore line, instead of being limited to a marine league, as laid down by the old writers on international law. The protocol through which the arbi tration was arranged was prepared in St. Petersburg by United States Min ister Tower, and the Russian foreign office. It was agreed by tlhe parties (that there should be but one arbitra tor, and the person selected for that poet is Dr. Asser, a celebrated Dutch jurist, who took a prominent part in The Hague conference. The case will toe submitted to him as Boon, as the pa pers can be prepared at the state de partment. ! Guatemala Will Arbitrate the May Claim. Washington, October 24.-The govern ment of Guatamala has accepted the proposition of the United States gov ernment to adjust by arbitration on the claim of Mr. May of Tennessee. The cOaim aggregated about $125,000, in Which sum May claims he was dam aged througfh the action of the Guata malan government in wrongfully de . priving him of a railroad concession. The "Plow Boy Preacher," Rev. J. Xlrkman, Belle Rive, 111., says, "After suffering from bronchial or lung trou ble for ten years, I was cured by One Minute Cough cure. It is all that la elaimed for it and more." It cures coughs, colds, grirpe and all throat and lun troubles. R. B. Bellamy. London, October 24. The colonial of fice has received a cablegram stating that President Steyn, of the Orange Free Statepfas issued a proclamation annexing that part of Cape Colony which Is north of Vaal river. This means Griqualand JSVest and Buchu nn aland and is aDDarently in conse quence of the Free States forces hav ing seized the railway and all stations north of Kimberley except Mafeking, unless Mafeking has fallen since the last news from there, which is a week old.- The colonial office this evening pub lished a cable dispatch received from the British high commissioner in South Africa, Sir Alfred Milner, communicat ing a significant dispatch f from Sir Godfrey Lagden, the British resident commissioner in Basutoland, calling at tention to the recklessness of the Ba sutos, who, he says, he has been "try ing to calm. The resident commission er adds: "Our policy, however, has been made dificult by the blustering of the Boers who have freely threatened to attack Masuru and I other stations. Those threats, combined with intriguing, have contributed to arouse excitement among the natives. I wish to place it on record that- the Boers have unwise ly attempted to shake the allegiance or the Basutos and "frustrate our efforts toward tranquility. The Boers, there fore, are responsible for any commotion and for the alarm regarding native in vasions which now prevails." Cape Town, October 23. (Afternoon.) News has been received from Dundee to the effect that the Boer disaster at Elandslaagte staggered the Boers com pletely, rendering the attack upon Dundee feeble. Therefore there is no cause for anxiety. GENERAL WOLSELEY'S SUMMARY London, October 24. -The parliamen tary secretary of the war office, George Wyndham, in the house of commons todav. announced that Field Marshal Lord Wolseley, the commander-in-chief of the forces, sums the situation in Na tal today as follows: "General Yule has fallen back to ef fect a Junction with Sir George Stewart White. He camped yesterday evening about sixteen miles south of Dundee, wfthout seeing anything of the enemy during the march, and it has since been reported that 'All's well on the Wasch bank river." ! " "General White fought a successful action with an Orange Free State force today, on the road between Ladysmith and Newcastle, and should join hands with General Yule this evening. Gen eral Yule reports that his wounded jare doing well. "The Boer wounded on our hands, are treated just as our own, and I have every reason to believe the Boers will treat any of our wounded in their hands in a similarly humane manner. "I have also received from General Walker, at Cape Town, the following: 'The last message from Kimberley, Oc tober 22nd, 2 p. m., reports all well.' " Cape Town, October 24. A message received this I evening from Mafeking, by way of Lorenzo Marques, says: "All well in Mafekiwr on October 20th." ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT. London, October 25. The following dispatch from General Sir George Stew art White to the Marquis of Lans downe, secretary of state for war, re ceived last evening at 11 o'clock was posted at the war office soon after mid night: "Ladysmith,1 October 249 p. m. In formation received yesterday showed that the Boers had established them selves in considerable numbers in an exceedingly strong position west of the main road leading from Ladysmith to Dundee. I also had information that the Dundee force, formerly command ed by General Symons, and since his wounding commanded by General Yule, was falling back on Ladysmith by way of the Helpmakaar road, Beith and the valleys of the Waschbank and Sunday rivers and was expected to reach Sun day river valley today. I, therefore, moved out with a strong force to cover the movement of Yule's column. The enemy was discovered about seven miles out of Ladysmith in a position of great natural strength west of the road. When he saw that preparations were being made against him he open ed fire with one gun with great accu racy. "Our military soon got into position and the gun was silenced. Our troops were ordered! to occupy a strong ridge, parellel to the enemy's position, but nearer to the road. "I confined my efforts to occupying him in hitting him hard enough to pre vent his taking action against Yule's column. Numbers of the enemy fled to the west and the firing had practi cally ceased at 2 o'clock. RETREAT OR STRATEGIC MOVE. other dispatches -Chat Wave not yet been -published. The secretary of. state for war left Mr. Choate's residence imme diately at the end of the banquet to General Harrison and proceeded to the war office, where, even after midnight, there was conedderGiitt'e activity, many visitors calling to Inquire for Informa tion, among them a stater of General Sir Archibald Hunter. Cape Town, October 24. A" private telegram from Deflagoa Baiy says a nuam Just arrived there from Johannes burg assersta that the Transvaal gov ernment has appropriated 850 beds in private Mouses in Johannesburg for wounded troops from tlhe front. The Boer organs, according to this In, formant are doing everything to mini maze tine Boer losses and affl sorts of mSstattements and imsrepresentatioao are emp&oyedL ADVANCING ON KIMBERLEY. London, October 25. The Dally Tele graph has the following from De Aar. Cape Colony, dated Monday evening: "The Transvaal government are about issuing a proclamation declaring the district north of the Vaal river, and including Bechuanaland to be Boer territory. , "Commandant Cronje, who has been twice repulsed at Mafeking is said to be advancing on Kimberley. and to be impressing men and seizing stores and munitions in British territory. He left a small force investing Mafeking. The Free State Boers are moving westward in order to join him for an attack on Kimberley. 1 "The dispatch riders who are coming down to the Orange river from Kim berley are performing thrilling feats. They ride through the Boer lines under cover of darkness and get to the Or ange river without taking any rest, save for a change of horses. The dis tance is sixty miles."' "The Boers are three miles from Kim berley, but are afraid-to attack the place and are awaiting the arrival of Commandant Cronje. No Boers are to be seen south of Belmont, which is twenty miles north of the Orange river. The defeats in Natal are taking all the fight out of them, and they will not attack the British troops, though they may defend a few positions. Indeed, it is believed here that the heaviest fight ing of the war is over except for a bat tle near Pretoria." ENGLAND'S FRUITLESS VICTO RIES. London, October 25. Although there is no reason to doubt the accuracy of the dispatch from Cape Town to The Daily Mail regarding General Yule's movement, it is curious that General White's- telegram to the war office, which is also dated at 9 p. m., makes no mention of joining of forces. When the war office dispatch was issued just after midnight the officials announced that nothing would be communicated until Wednesday morning so that it Is impossible to confirm or deny the news. General Yule had a heavy march Mon day over the Stratford slopes and the Zurfonteln table, both over 5,000 feet high, and arrived after dusk at Beith, which is half way between Rorkes drift and Waschbank. He had a still heavy march and was hardly expected to join General White at Ladysmith until today. His movements were actuated by sound judgment, since he soon would have been surrounded and in a desper ate position. The combined forces at Ladysmith, now amounting to some 12,000 men, will be amply sufficient to act on, the defensive. A few more vie tories like Glencoe and Elandslaagte. however, would leave the British troops without officers. while the Boers have failed to take advantage of their strategic position. owing to the incompetence or haste of their leaders, -the British have no cause for congratulations over the results of the Natal operations. They have suf fered" heavy losses in men, and their victories have practically gone for nothing, the whole of northern Natal being now abandoned to the Boers. It would have been better to have concentrated on Ladysmith in the first Instance, but General White and Gen eral bymons had to yield to political exigencies and to the local reluctance to abandon an inch of territory more than was necessary. It is not expected that the wounded left at Dundee will suffer, except in being prisoners of war, THE ALASKA BOUNDARY, j TO ASSAULT ItOILO.

It is as follows: 1 .; ( "That (the boundary line h& arbitrated upon terms similar (to Ithose imposed by the United tates and Great Britain over Venezuela, particularly) ithose pro visions making fifty years; occupancy by either side conclusive Evidence of title, occupancy of less than that period to be taken as equity allows under in ternational laws. ! i "That as a. condition precedent to and absolutely- preliminary to arbitration, Skaguay and Dyea would be conceded to the United States without further claim, if Canada received Pyramid habor. I Ini other words, Canada gives up much of the disputed gold i country in returni ror a seaport, nut stipulates that sne must get the latter! before she agrees to arbitrate the boundary line."

But it is said tthat th ni trior motive Is (to increase British naval strength by making Pyramid harbor a strong naval base.

"Accordingly, after defeating1 tne Rome, October 24. The following is the full text of the official instructions from Cardinal Ledochowski to the bishop of Belleville, 111., bearing on the recent controversy in the Catholic church of East St. Louis: - "Kemove - immediately the excom munication from the parish, as they do not deserve it. Get Father Cruse to resign and appoint a pastor of their own nationality over them." Cardinal Ledochowski is cardinal pre fect or the propaganda, to which be longs the final settlement of all ec clesiastical controversies of this nature. There is no appeal from his ruling. It follows on these instructions that the general practice of the church for the future In the United States will be that the honnd- ary question by arbitration the Amer lean commissioners replied with an of- rer to accept arbitration, with the pro viso that no point occumed bv Amer icans for a specified term of years should be submitted to arbitration.

The latter simply battered him down after Jefferds had gained a very decided advantage. Ruhlin floored him th.ee times in the fourth and put him out with a straight left early in the ne.ct round. Ruhlin was a big favorite in the betting, two one one being free ly laid on him. Eat plenty, Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will digest what you eat. It cures all forms of dyspepsia and stomach troubles. E. R.
