Webster Davis Makes Firey Attack on
Roosevelt.
Webster Davis, who was assistant
secretary of the interior when President
Boosevelt was assistant secretary of the
navy, is very indignant on account ol'
Roosevelt's rough riding over Admirals
Dewefcuid Schley and General MUbb
He covluded a recent interview on the
subject by saying:
"The republican party surely will go
down by Roosevelt'B weight. Republi
cans wMj defeat him. In the convention

"'er A. Arthur, can control a con

again they come to vote. They once
thanked God when they read on the
bulletin boards
:'It IB believed Dewey has
cut the cables.' He was his own master
then, 5,000 miles away, with an enemy
to negotiate with. The country believ
ed in him. We thanked God twice
when the interregnum was told:

"The nation has stood on its chairs to
o^ger the name of Dewey and on the
tables to grow frantic at the race of
Schley, Captains Cook and Phillip and
EvanB and Clark of the Oregon, and
the nation has not forgotten these
things and will not forget them.

HOUSEWIVES CO-OPERATE
Hire an Export Cook to Do Cooking for
Five Separate Families.
Sioux City, In., Dec. 28.—Driven to
desperation by a famine in servant
girls, the housewives here have re
sorted to co-operative housekeeping.
The first co-operative Institution was
started Thursday by fire families in
Morningside, the fashionable resideuce
district. An expert cook has been
hired and a house rented, where the
meals are prepared for each of the five
families. The housewives take turns
In selecting the bill of fare, so a va
riety is assured. Not only do the
families have fine cooking and service,
but tliey economize in fuel and appur
teuances.
This is but a temporary plan In lieu
of a more extensive project promoted
by Mrs. Julia-Clark Ilallam, president
of the Mothers1 Child Study club, to
establish large central cooking sta
tions. All the materials will be
bought wholesale and prepared by
chefs and assistants. Delivery wagons
will carry the food to the homes In
asbestos dishes.

ALASKA BEING THE
FIRST IN 0BDER
Washington, Dec. 30.—It is expect
ed that efforts will be renewed before
long for the settlement of the numer
ous controversies which have long ex
isted between the United States and
Great Britain growing out of relations
along the Canadian border, the Atlan
tic fisheries, warships on the great
lakes, the Alaskan boundary, and other
qestions. Heretofore the negotiations

The following casualties occurred: A

ed names later. The enemy was driv

tters recited have not proved effec-
1
tive, largely because of the cumber
some machinery of negotiation and
this has led to a belief that much more
could'be accomplished by direct nego
tiations between Secretary Hay and
Lord Pauneefotc on the main points,
aud the subsequent assembling of a
commission representing the United
States, Great Britain and Canada to
give form to the basis of agreement
rendered.
tVimta to Tackle Alaska Next.
Now that the British government
has yielded the Clayton-Buhver treaty
and other points in the isthmian nego
tiatlon it desires to take up some'of
the other questions In which It has
important interests involved. Lord
Pauncefote desires to clear up all
pending differences and have a "clean
slate" before Ills present term as am
bassador comes to a close. When he,
entile'to Washington there were foiir
threat Issues between the two govern
ments. Tlietarst of these Wfts the.,
Bering jwa controversy, which had
readied an acute stage. Diplomacy
disposed of tills issue. The second is
sue was over Venezuela, which, like
the seal question, at one time threat
ened war. But the efforts of diplo*
macy were again successful in avert
ing trouble and bringing about a set
tlement. The third Important issue
was on the isthmian canal, which lias
been satisfactorily disposed of by. the
recent ITav-Pnuncefote trwitv.
recent Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
Only One IHHUO NOW Remain*.'
This leaves only one issue remaining
in order to bring about the "clean
slate," namely, the border controversy,
both as to Canada and Alaska. The
British officials usually link these var
ious boundary controversies together,
as they are more or less connected. At
present a modus vivendl exists as to
the Alaskan boundary, chiefly for the
purpose of avoiding a clash along the
border and holding each side in check
until a final boundary is determined
upou. It seems to be conceded on both
sides that the modus cannot be carried
on indefinitely, and that sooner or lat
er the main question of establishing a
permanent boundary must be settled.
Lord Lausdowne's desire to take up
the question was expressed clearly in
.his note to Secretary Hay last spring,
when the British government declined
to accept the senate amendment to the
first Hay-Pauncefote treaty, and he
has recently expressed a similar desire.
