London, Oct. 17. The Alaskan boundary com" mission has -verbally agreed to grant all the American contentions except that of the Port land canal, which goes to Canada The formal agreement is - being drawn op and will be' rendered on Monday, The successful termina tion of arbitration came as a com pltte surprise to all interested in the case, except perhaps the com missioners themselves. When the tribunal adjourned at 3:30 P. M., it was understood that no decision had been reached. Indeed, so gen eral was the impression that no de cision would be : reached until next week, that several of counsel and others employed in the case left London soon after the adjournment However,' the : Associated Press learned that a vote bad been taken, and7 the decision to grant all the American :' contentions except that of the Portland canal, which, goes to Ca'uada, bad been arrived at. 1-- But, as cabled yesterday, while the Americans throughout have been very confident, no vote had previously been laxen, and no one could before this aftertoon say that the United States had won its ease. No hitch occurred duiiog the en tire deliberations, and as these pro greased the confidence of the Amer ican commissioners that a decision substan tial ly upholding the Ameri can claims would be given, increased, but it was admitted it would bene cessary to agree to a compromise on the Portland canal, f ! - nThe only disquieting feature for the Americans during the last- few days had been a - vague idea! that Coief Justice Alverstone, even if be concluded to take the American view, might :be unwilling to go -on record with a decision to that effaet, and a disagreement was not unlike ly. .. i ,-:; t y All that remains now- io be : done is for the commissioners to-affix their signatures to the decision nd compute the map which will , ac company it. Qa the map will be marked the boundary line, definite ly fixing the division of American and British territory on such a ba sis that nO American citizen will lose a foot of land he already ' be lieved be held, while ' the United States' will get b11 the water-ways to the rich Alaskan" territory with the exception of the Portland canal A he long-standing dispute was only settled after a week of keen, trying, secret deliberation . between the arbitrators. Even up to noon today there was an acute t possibili ty that a disagreement might result and the whole proceedings fall to tne ground. lora iviversione, though openly inclined to believe in the justice of the American ar- gumentthat the United States was entitled to the heads of . inlets, as contained in question .5, . held out that Canada bad - established her case in question z and 6, dealing with the Portland canal. .

The bana- dian government has . not yet re ceived official notice of tne report ed decision in the Alaska boundarv matter.! . If the decision is -: as re ported, namely; that! .Portland ca nal is to remain in Canadian terri tory, there is a feeling in-.official cir cles that the- Dominion 'has not much tcLhe-thankful. for.?; Canada in holdiog the. Pjjrtlandranal,'! re tains Wales -and Pearee . Islands, which overlook Port Simpson,- : the proposed . terminus of the , Grand Trunk Pacific. It would be incon venient to have lost these islands, but as they were clearly marked on Vancouver's map as being in Cana da, it ts dimcnlt to . see how this could have been done. As the government has no offi cial information, none of the minis ters will speak on the subject : for publication. North of Port Simpson Canada; will have no' harbor, and no outlet on the Pacific coast from the .Yukon goldfielde. C ; , The effect of the decision, it is said, is to leave the Alaskan bound ary where it is now. The main point of the Canadian contention involved the outlet from the Klon dike goldfields at the head -of Linn canal, including the ports of Skag way and Dyear through which the Klondike business is transacted. These porta remain American ter ritory. ; ; -, s v Lexington, S. C. 'Oct. 15. Jas. H. Tillman,' charged with the mur der of N. G.

At the time of the alleged miracle much interest had been aroused in Spokane, through the claims of Mr. Mcln tuiff, who has a large following here. '.

Seven solid blocks, - embracing every business house of prominence io Aberdeen, a large number of dwellings, the Opera house, the central school building, the Edison and Olympus theatres, the Crescent hotel, the Pa cific hotel, the new fire department headquarters, the Council Chamber, the fire alarm syetem, every law office, and a hospital- all were in cluded in a district covered by a fire which started this forenoon in the Mack block on : Home street. The loss is estimated at not less than $1,000,000, and the insurance is not more than one-third.. There were four fatalities from falling walls and suffocation and five other persona were slightly in jured. All the buildings burned, ' ; except the Kaufman block, were of wood, and only vacant areas of land here and there prevented the entire town from being fuel for tbeflimes. The fire started in the .Mack block, a three-story structure, occu pied by Impoverished bachelor?, who cooked their meals on small oil stoves. In one of these rooms a blaze - was seen but . before the de partment got to work the interior was a mass of flames. , Two lives were lost in. the building. ' The fife jumped from this build ing to the firedepartmeht headquar ters, a new ' building', " with' a nigh tower on G streets il'hen it crossed the alley 'and destroyed all the buildings on' the south side of Heron street, between F and G, and par tially ruined all those on the north side of Heron.' Then it jumped a cro88 G street', and burned1 every building on Heron between G, I; H and K end two blocks' north and south, an east wind carrying burn ing embers in every direction. ' ' ;' The business ' men and' people were panic-stricken and goods were removed -from all the buildings' de stroyed and from every - residence within a radius of 20 blosks. : ', The excitement was at the great est tension, there not being suffi cient wagons to get goods away from the fire and the fact that so little insurance was carried made the . condition " more ' aggravating. The lack of sufficient hose and the failure of the big -new ' engine to work properly kept the - fife depart ment from saving property and dy namite was used at several points to keep the fire from spreading. The arrival of the departments of Montesaoo and Hoquiam ; and a large corps of volunteers, from eaeh place helped, materially in getting the fire under control at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The fortunate cir cumstance of the fire is that no mill property was burned and no one is thrown out of employment, except etore clerkB and this . will . be but temporarily.. . ? ; ' : Men, women and children ran every way with what goods they could carry. Many women and children, were in tears and. several men were being carried along with blood streaming from their faces. AH sorts of reports concerning r the death or injury of well-known busi ness men contributed to the distress. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the fire was under control and persons whose property had been in the track of the fire breathed easier and the stampede of horses . and people was finally over and , the collection of wits and goods began . . The city will lose at least $20,000 with an insurance of about $3,000. The city's loss includes its Coun cil Chamber, 400 feet of hose, an engine house, school bouse, fire a- larm system, and a large amount of planked streets. The Opera house destroyed wbs recently built at a cost of $5,000 and the Gray's Har bor Hospital . Association ' loses a building, partially constructed and a lot of building material.

The cityjs lighted by. the flames of many piles of debris and thousands of visitors are here from allparts of Gray's Harbor and the Sound coun try. . ' Penny Nail His Hand.
