Tell. Enalwnd to Choo.e Between He» anal the L'ulteal Slate.. New York, June 21.—A special to the Journal and Advertiser from Wash­ ington says: Canada has served notice on England Uiat she must choose be­ tween the United States and the North American Dominion in the settlement of the Alaskan boundary question. It is stated ou the highest authority that this statement represents accurately the conditions submitted to England, which has delayed the negotiations between Ambassador Choate and Lord Salisbury in tiie provisional line of the modus vivendi. The position of Canada is known here officially. The official to whom it is known feels authorized in saying tiiat theie are only two ways out of the difficulty; first, that Canada will vol­ untarily recede from her demand for u Pacific tidewater port, or, second, that the United States shall surrender the principle laid down by Secretary Hay, in his tentative boundary line, that Americans will not grant temporarily or otherwise any port facilities to the Canadians. Tiiat Canada will yield is considered by the state department officials, who have discussed the new and acute phases of the situation, as improbable. It is asserted on authority that Eng­ land has been forced to yield to Canada and that the United States and Eng­ land are wider apart today in the con­ troversy than since the adjournment of the high joint commission. There is also official warrant for the statement that Lord Salisbury and Mr. Chamber- lain, secretary of state for the colonies, had, until the close of the week, ex­ pressed to Mr. Choate in good faith the conviction that an agreement would be reached. State department officials are therefore not disposed to criticise England 4n tiie premises, but on the contrary, admit that Canada’s practical and dangerous ultimatum to the mother country is ample justification for England’s inability to proceed with the negotiations. In the light of the present news, the conflict, which the provisional bound­ ary line was intended to prevent, may be precipitated at any moment, and with greater show of probability when it becomes known that England has decided to stand irrevocably behind Canada. ____ CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTH. Janies Barrett Says They Are Than Ever Before. Worse Washington, June 21.—James Bar­ rett, vice-president of the Georgia State Agricultural Society, was the only witness before the industrial com­ mission today. He spoke upon the ag­ ricultural conditions in the South, say­ ing they were worse today than thev had ever been in the history of the country. He said the cotton interests was es­ pecially depressed, prices last year amounting to a little over 4 cents a pound. At this price, a man could not eave himself, if he paid wages amounting to more than *3 a month. Planters generally pay about *6 a month for wages, and at such prices thev could not prevent loss if they re­ ceived less than 6 cents per pound. Mr. Barrett said that nine-tenths ol the cotton grown was mortgaged before it matured. Rates of interest and com­ missions were high, and the merchants were gradually coming into possession of the land. THE DANUBE A WRECK. Ran on a Rock on the Shore of Deninat Island. Victoria, B. C., June 21 —The steamer Danube, which left here today for Lynn canal, Alaska, struck a rock ou the north shore of Denman island, tearing a large hole in her hull. Her captain ran iier on the beach, where Bhe now lies. Tiie steamer Maude took off her passengers and a large pait of her cargo. The Danube’s after hold is full of water, and the freigiit is badly damaged. Assistance from Victoria has been wired for. No fur­ ther particulars are at hand. Among tiie passengers on the Danube were Lieutenant-Governor Mclnnes and ex-Mayor John Grant, of Victoria. The steamer Tees will take the Dan­ ube’s passengers on to Alaska. Dying From Thirst. Chicago, June 21. — A special to the Record from Victoria, B. C., says: The people of Cobar mining district in Australia are, according to advices brought by the Warrimoo, suffering great distress through the failure of the water holes and artesian wells, seveial having died of thirst during May. Mines are closed down and hundreds of men, thrown out of employment, find themselves unable to pay the ex­ orbitant price demanded for domestic use. The present charge is one shil­ ling a gallon, at the nearest reliable source of supply, and from seven shil­ lings six pence to nine shillings six pence is added for deliveiy. Tuberculosis In Cattle. Chicago, June 21.—Germs of tuber- culosis were found tn every cow of a herd of 92 that was received at the stockyards today. The choicest of the lot in several instances were found to be the most pronounced victims of the disease, fn the worst cases, the pul­ monary organs were one mass of tuber­ culosis bacilli. Many of the infected cows were from state institutions. Suicide of Dr. Summers. St. Louis, June 21.—Dr. Thomas Osmond Summers, late major-turgeon in charge of the fever hospital at San- tiago, and a noted yellow fever expert, committed suicide here this evening by .hooting himself through the head. Despondency caused l y fancied lack of appreciation of his services by the gov­ ernment during the Spanish war is as­ signed as the cause for his rash act. The Missouri Pacific train robbers
