Kit roods. SEW YORK, Oct. 20.-?Bradstreet's to morrow will say: "More nearly, perhaps, than ever before do the volume of gen eral trade and industry tax existing transportation facilities handling the same. From' nearly all parts of the coun try, but particularly from the West and South, come reports of car scarcity. Some of this congestion seems to be the re sult of a diversion of the traffic ordinari ly carried on by water routes to already crowded railroads. As an example of this might be instanced the east bound tonnage movement from Chicago last week, which exceeded by two and a half times that carried in the . corresponding week a year ago. The Inability of present transportation facilities to cope with the existing situation is. however, not con futed to domestic trade lines. From both e< a.-ts of this country come reports of in sufficient tonnage offering to handle goods socking a foreign outlet and freight rates art considered higher than they were a year or more ago. This latter feature, in fact, is one which may have important effect upon our foreign trade during the balance of the year "With few notable exceptions prices continue strong. A number of lines have advanced quotations, while the great body of staple articles manifest all their old firmness. Some weakness in wheat prices is directly traceable to higher freight rates, because of the partial closing of the door to relief from growing domestic stocks. Touching the wheat situation, however, it may be said that while pres ent statistics of stocks of domestic and European are bearish, estimates of the year's crop continue to afford strength to the bulls' position. An average of five leading European estimates points to a world's crop this year not far from 2,500, --000.000 bushels, and a falling off of 32">,000,. 0C«"i to 375.000.000 bushels from last year is indicated, against which, of course, is to be reckoned increased supplies, visib'e and invisible, of at least two-thirds of that amount. Corn is not cs depressed as wheat, mainly because of lighter receipts, but it is to be noted current receipts of wheat are also smaller than they were a year ago The weakness in prices of cop per and of copper mine stocks is attrib vi.d to production gradually overtaking demand! and tin Is also considerably low er A renewal of strength is noted in c< 'ton. though foreign buying is reported fill indifferent, domestic speculative con fidence and good condition- ''* the manu factured goods branch furnishing an im - pi tvs this week.

In iron .- ml steel maintained strength is still a feature nt all markets, with steel pro ducts, particularly rails, wire rods and billets all higher on the week, and struc tural material showing sympathy. Bes semer Iron quotations have slightly ad vanced, indicating confidence in present or higher quotations for at least nine months to come. Pig Iron production ex pands as new and'old furnaces go into commission, and the probability favors a total production this year of not far from ]?.700,000 tops, a gain it "1(1 per cent over Inst year. Hardware, both"-' light and heavy, is reported moving actively, but orders ahead-are in most cases rejected by conservative jobbers. Raw wool is firmer and even higher, on better demand at the East, some heavy speculative transactions being reported.

I Upon ..„Im- j provement 1" Market. 7^7 NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—Bradstreefs in ! i review of the New York stock market to- j morrow will say: | "Prices improved this week, the stock : market showing a rally from 5 the depres sion caused by tight" money and tho I South African war. Early in the week \ a better tone appeared in the loan mar- I ket. rates for money on call declining to 4(55 per cent, with 6 per cent as the extreme. The completion of the large settlements connected with the Central Pacific readjustment also relieved the | money market from fears of further gen- | eral disturbance of loans, and it would j appear that large interests were encour- j aged to give renewed support to and ad- I vance their specialties. The movement attracted some outside purchasing, but commission houses " have not been active, and the trading was largely of a profes sional description and origin. The buy ing power was, in "fact; 'mainly ■ supplied by a large short interest,'which had ac cumulated during the past month: It ! would seem to "nave been much larger than was -generally supposed, and at the beginning of the week leading operators, who have been active on the bear side of the account, made strenuous efforts to continue the decline .and.... to force liquidation. They attacked the special ties and the industrials, but. though" cer tain stocks sold down sharply under such pressure, the general list responded quickly to moderate buying orders. "The market at the same time is sen sitive to the financial conditions here and abroad. It did not escape I*.attention that the easier tone in the New York money market is calculated to facilitate a movement of -gold from this side to London, which the .temporary falling off of grain exports, the scarcity of commer cial bills of exchange and the rise of sterling rates to 487% rendered a possi l bility. The fact that the London money j market is being carefully tended and I kept free from disturbance as a prepara ! tion for an expected war loan might in volve the Bank of England's taking ad vantage of these exceptional conditions and procuring some millions of gold from. 'New York. It was, of course, recogniz d that such a movement could not be very large, nor continue for any time, yet the stock market was Inclined to watch this part of the situation with much atten tion.

AMERICA THE (.AIM ALASKA MODUS VIVENDI IS FINAL LY AGREED IPON AND PA PERS ARE SIGNED CANADA MAKES BEST OF IT Is Not I Wholly Satisfied, but Hopes for Greater Concessions "When Final Agreement Is Reached—No Prejudice to Fntare Negotiations Between the Countries in,lnterest Text of the Document. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.— Mr"."~*Tower, " the British charge here, called at the state department today and handed to Secretary Hay a note formally accept ing, for his government, the proposition for the temporary adjustment .of the Alaska boundary line, proposed by Sec rteary Hay in his note of yesterday. With that act the lons expected modu-* vi vendi relative to the vexed '"boundary question went into effect. This result has been" brought about through the direct negotiations of Secre tary Hay and Mr. Tower, after several failures ln the past through- commission ers and ambassadors. The stata de partment Is confident that it has con served every American interest in the ar rangement, without unjustly treating Canada. The division line on the west pass, by which the Dalton trail is reach ed, is placed twenty-two and one-half i miles above Pyramid harbor, which is regarded under the treaty as tide water mark, so the Canadians are not allowed to reach any point on the Lynn canal. Moreover, there is no permission given for a free port, or even for. the free trans fer across American territory of Cana dian goods, except of miners' belonging.-. These matters may figure later on when it comes to a permanent boundary line,' but they are not touched upon in this modus. The'modus vivendi follows the prece? dent established by Secretary Evarts in 1878, in agreeing upon a temporary bound ! ary on the Stikine river, in Alaska, by an exchange of notes. The line on the Chilkat river is twenty two and one-fourth statute miles from the head of navigation to the Lynn canal and on the Kiehini river twelve statute miles farther inland, and the whole val ley of Porcupine creek is included witnin the American line. On White and Ch.l koot passes the line is fixed at the sum mit, or water shed, being observed by customs authorities of the two countries. The text of the modus vivendi as finally agreed to is as follows: TEXT OF AGREEMENT. "It is hereby agreed to. between the governments of the United States and of Great Britain, that the boundary line be tween the territory of Alaska and Can ada, in the region about the head of Lynn canal, shall be provisionally fixed, with out prejudice to the claims of either party in the permanent adjustment of the In-1 ternational boundary, as follows: "In the region of the Dalton trail, a line beginning at the peak, west of Por cupine creek, marked on the man No. 10 of the United States commission, December. 1595. and of sheet No. 18 of the British commission. December 31. IS'"5, with No.:- 6500. thence running : to.- the. Kiehini (or Klahela' river in the direc tion of the peak north of that river, marked 5020 on the aforesaid United States map.- and 6025 on the aforesaid British maD: thence following the high or right bank of the said Kiehini river to the junction thereof with the Chilkat river, a mile and a half, more or less, north. of Klukwan: provided, that persons pro ceeding- to or from Porcupine creek shall be freely permitted to follow the trail be tween the said creek and the, said junc tion of the rivers. into and across the territory on the Canadian side of the territory line, whenever the trail crosses to such side, and subject to such reason able regulations for the protection of the revenue as the Canadian government may prescribe to carry with them over such parts or part of the trail between the said points as may lie on the Canadian side of the temporary line, such goods and ar ticles as they desire, without being re quired to pay any customs duties on such goods and articles: and. from said junction to the summit of the peak east of the Chilkat river, marked on the aforesaid map No. 10, of the United States commission, with the number 5410. and on the man No 17. of the aforesaid British commission, with the number 5490. "On the Dvea and Skagway trails the summits of the Chilkoot and White passes. -. . . •.' - ■ -"It. is understood, as formerly set forth in communications of the department of state of the United States, that the citi zens or subjects of either power found by this -arrangement within the tem porary jurisdiction of the other shall suffer no diminution of the rights an? privileges which they now enjoy. "The government of the United States will at once apponit an officer or officers, in conjunction with an officer or officers to be named by the government of her Britannic, majesty, to mark the tem porary line agreed upon, by the erection of posts, stakes or other, appropriate tem porary marks." AMERICAN ADVANTAGES. Some'of the Important advantages that accrue to the American side through to day's settlement would escape observa tion through a study of the map which is attached to the notes. Thus it appears that instead of placing the line directly at the town of Klukwan,lv.hichmarks the head of canoe navigation, as the British sought to do, it has been located several miles above that town, directly at the junction of Chilkat river, the important; tributary of tho Kiehini. This maintains the Indians at Klukwan: under/American jurisdiction without question, and also provides a natural and unmistakable boundary line, such as is always sought by topographers, In the shape.' of a con siderable river. Then, when it comes to the point of- departure from this river," the Kiehini, the line has been prolonged toward Its source so as -..to'" include in American, territory the mining town of Porcupine, the head of mining operations in the Porcupine section. ' Nothing has yet been decided as to a resumption of the sessions of the joint high Canadian commission, but with the boundary question removed from -the field for a time,. a meeting is likely to fol low before congress meets. •' NOT WHOLLY SATISFACTORY. • LONDON, Oct. 20.—Sir Louis Davies, Canadian minister of fisheries and ma rine, says that Canada does not gain any territory by the provisional 'arrangement! He visited United States Ambassador Choate and. the British secretary of state for the colonies, Mr. Chamberlain, today, for final Interviews. Nothing, however, resulted, • except an exchange of views, as all now "clearly understand the posi tions taken by each. "I regret," said Sir Louis, "that my visit to England resulted In nothing more than a temporary arrangement, but experts who accompanied me have thor oughly explained Canada's contention to the colonial office, and "If Messrs. Choate and Chamberlain or ' Messrs. Tower, and Hay between them can fix up a perma nent solution of the dispute, they will find Canada very willing to consider it. I must confess., that, the prospect" is' not blight. ; While in England l have met with every courtesy and my health, which was by no means good when I arrived, is now much improved. 77--.'. 1-7. _ : j "The modus vivendi seems to me fair to both sides, and-In so far as It will prevent local friction, satisfactory.

" CANTON, Miss., Oct. 20.— -little town of , St. Anne, twenty miles east of Canton, In Leake county, was last night the scene of a horrible tragedy—a sequel to the- burning lof the Gam'brel family'tha night before. Toe Leflore, a negro..who was captured by a posse, confessed that he in company with other" negroes had" tied Mrs. Gambrel and her four children to the door, of the house, saturated tha surroundings with kerosene and burned .the unfortunate people alive. The ne gro, after the confession of the awful — — "Look sharp, Msto Jackson, doan' hear a chicken cacklin'?"

' The -Gambrel tragedy occurred early Thursday, and it was first thought that the fire was the result of accident. A casual V investigation revealed clrcum* stances so suspicious that a more search*'' lng - investigation was made, and it was soon established beyond doubt - that the family, had been. murdered and , the house fired with the torch or* an incendiary. Posses were immediately formed ' to scour the country and followed ■ *v_ every possible clue"." -Before' the posses left St. Anne "it - was discovered that Joseph • Le- : flore, a. negro who liveds in the neighbor-" hood and; who had*-: heretofore -borne ' a good reputation, had -disappeared. Early last evening; Leflore was captured several miles" from the scene : of, the murder. At first the negro vigorously- denied a knowl edge of the crime, but he finally broke down completely and confessed ;; that ha and "Bob Anderson and" Andrew Smith, two other negroes, had. done the das tardly deed. He hoped for no mercy and told with a brutal frankness all the details of the crime. His captors were stupefied at the revelation. In the yard where the Gambrel resi dence had stood Leflore was tied to a, stake and burned alive. No one sent a merciful bullet into his body to kill him. -Andrew Smith escaped from the mob while Leflore was being burned and : has - not : been captured. Bob Smith was tied to another stake and a fire started, though" he was finally released as there was a possibility of his proving his Innocence. v - ~- Andrew Smith will be recaptured, and if it is proven that he and his brother Bob are guilty it is thought that no pow er can save them from a similar fate to that meted out to Leflore. .
