WORKED TWO HOURS.
The Grand Trunk Trueitmen stilt out of
Work—Read Between the Lines of
These Despatches for the Causes.
Toronto, June 6.—The G.T.R. track -
men went out again yesterday, and the
strike, according to present prospects, is
still unsettled. Acting upon the instruc-
tions received by the strikers from the
committee in Montreal, work was re-
sumed yesterday morning at 7 o'clock.
Everything went smoothly until 9.30,
when the men were requested to return
their tools to the toolhouses and apply to
Mr. O'Dell, the local roadmaster. They
were informed that they were no longer
employes of the road, and if they desired
work must apply tfor it individually
through the proper channels.
what tee Company Will Do.
Montreal, June 6.—The face of the
naatter is the company will not take
back all of the men, as they declere that
it would be unfair to disnaiss men who
had stood by the company while the
others were out on strike. Yet about
three-quarters of the 1,800 men will be
taken back. The officials state that the
process of taking back will begin when
the men snake a formal request to be
restored to their former places.
Men's Executive Meets.
The executive committee of the Grand
Trunk trackmen and Organizer Lowe
held a conference last night in regard to
a large number of complaints that had
been received, stating that the men would
not be taken back to work.
The executive committee havina
brought on the strike, and it having
failed, are evidently unable to meet the
men's demands.
Blame the committee.
Hamilton, Jumme 6.—There is much con-
sternation among the local trackmen of
the G.T.R., who have refused to snake
personal applications for their positions,
and will not return to work. They speak
harshly of the committee for ordering
them back without a word of explana-
tion, and suggest that the committee and
Organizer Lowe have been "fixed."
One trackman said he would lynch
Lowe if he could lay bands on him. All
the men in this district are still out and
the secretary last night sent a telegram
to the Toronto union asking that another
conaneittee be formed to carry on the
strike.
CANADIAN PROPOSAL.
BRITISH GOVERNMENT MAKES PUB-
LIC OUR OFFER.
Rules which were to Goveva -es ••• '
traters—.p American Suggestion as to
Their Appointmeut—Dontiaaion Declin-
ed to Coosidim the itoundary Question
Apart From Other 'Quotations at Issue.
London. June 5.—The Foreign Office
issued a Parliamentary paper on Satur-
day night, giving us (masil the proceed-
ings of the joule high commission in
Washington on Feb, 18 relating to the
British proposals for arbitration on the
Alaskan boundary. It says the Beata)
commissioners proposed the immediate
appointment of an arlatral tribunal to
determine the boundary between Alaska
and Canada, from the southernmost point
at Prime of Wales Island to Monne St.
Blies, in accordance with the Anglo -
Russian treaty of Feb. 28. 182, tlae tri-
bunal to consist of three jurists, one
nominated by the Privy Connell, one by
President licEinley and the third to be
selected by the two nominees.
The rules governing the arbitrators
wore as follows:
A. Adverse holding or preseription dur-
ing a period of 50 years shall make good
the title, The arbitrators rimy gain ex
-
elusive politteal control of the dieteiet, as
well as settlement thereef, sualeient to
constitute adverse holding or snake pre-
scriptase title.
B. The arbitrators may recognize and
give effect to rights or claims resting on
any other arouud, valid according to
in-
ternational law, that the arbitrators may
deem applicable to the case, wbich aro
not in contrayention of rule A..
0, To aoterstaniug the boundary, if the
territory of one party shall be found by
the tribunal to have been at the date of
this treaty in ocoupation of the subjects
or citizens of the other party, such effeot
WWI be given to such occupation as rea-
son, justice, the prinoiples of interna-
tional law and the equities of the case
require.
The other artieles provide for a meeting
60 days after the printed artioles aro sub-
mitted; that all questions, including the
final judaraent, 4141 be determined by a
majority of all the arbitrators, the decis
SIMI, if possible, to be rendered within
three months of the close of arguments,
and the employment of accessary assist-
ance of scientific experts, each Govera-
ment to pay its own a.xpeuses, and the
other expentes to be equally divided,
Tim eoncluding article provides that the
high contracting rxtrties shall engage to
consider the result of the proceediugs as
a full, perfect and final settlement of all
questions referred to the arbitrators.
Theo Americans accepted the prosposals
as the bases of a re -adjustment, bat pro-
posed in addition to the Anglo -Russian
treaty that the boundary should be de-
fined in accordance with the Russo -
American treaty of cession, or, as the
same shall be established by the tribunal,
under the rules hereinafter provided, the
tribunal to consist of six impartial jurists
of repute, three to be nominated by the
Privy, Council and three by the President
of tho 'United States. The Americans also
proposed an amendment to rule 0 as fol-
lows: In considering the "coast" referred
to in said. treaties, it is understood that
the coast; of the gonhinent is intended and
that all towns and settlements on tide-
water settled under authority of the Uni-
ted States and under jurisdiction of the
United States at the date of this treaty,
shall remain withiu the territory and
jurisdietion of the United States,
The British commissioners regretted
Shat they were absolutely unable to
=apt the sugaosted snoctification to their
proposition, because the suggested Ameri-
can tribunal did not provide a tribunal
which would necessarily, and, hi the
possible event of difference of opinion,
finally dispose of the question, and be-
cause the amendment to rule C was a
marked and important departure from
She rules of the Venezuelan boundary
reference, winch left all such questions to
be determined by the tribunal, and be-
cause the words added by the United
States claim that an effect should be
given to their occupation of land in Brit-
ish territory, which justice, reason and
the equities of the Calle do not require.
The comraissioners also objected that the
/anguage Used with reference to the coast
was open to misconstruction, and they
were of opinion that it was useless to
further press the negotiations at present,
and that they must refer the matter to
their Government for an exchange of
views in respect to the constitution of the
tribunal.
The Americans inquired whether the
British commissioners had considered the
question of selecting an umpire from the
American continent. The British mem-
bers replied in the affirmative, adding
that they thought it most objectionable,
in view of the policy long maintained
and recently reasserted by the Govern-
ment of the United States towards other
nations on the said continent. The selec•
tion of an umpire by any such nation
would not offer a guarantee of impartial-
ity, which was the first qualification
r equisite.
The Americans then proposed to pro-
ceed to settle the remaining subjeots, as
they thought it would be unwise to defer
adjustments so nearly concluded. Several
subjects were so far advanced as to assure
the desirability of a settlement. If, then,
all difference except one could now be
adjusted, would it not be most conamend-
able to advance neighborly friendship,
and could not the respective Governments
be trusted `to settle the principal remain-
ing difference by direct negotiation?
The British commissioners replied that
all questions should be deferred until the
boundary was disposed of, either by
agreement or by reference to arbitzation,
because the manner in which they were
prepared to adjust some other important
matters naust depend upon whether it
'Would be possible to arriveat a settle-
ment of all questions whiclimight at any
time occasion acute controversy and even
conflict.

Ex -Principal of Alma College, St. Thoble4
Comes Out Flat -Footed in Favor of
Modern Spiritualism.
Windsor, Ont„ ,Tune 2. --The trial of
Rev. Dr. B. F. Austin, ex -principal of
Alma College, St. Thomas, on a charge
of heresy, before the London conference,
in session at Windsor yesterday, proved
to be very sensational. Dr. Austitt threw
a bomb into the conference by declaring
himself in unequivocal te.rrns an ardent
believer in modern spiritualism. Four
charges of heresy were some time ago
preferred against Dr. Austin by Rev. A.
H. Going of Port Stanley. The most im-
portant charge was upholding a fraudu-
lent system of spiritualism, and on this
and two others Dr. Austin was found
guilty by a committee of the St. Thomas
district, and suspended until the next
meeting, of conference. Dr. Austin did
not appear before tlais committee, but
sent a brief written defence.
Defends Modern Spiritaalism.
At yesterday's session he was on hand,
and delivered a three -hours' address in
his defence. He dismissed with a few
words tue minor charges brought against
him, and proceeded with an elaborate
explanation and defence of modern
spiritualism. He quoted authority after
authority in support of his plea that
spiritualism is sanctioned by Bible teach-
ing. He gave a number of his own per-
sonal experiences, which he claimed had
converted him to the doctrine.
After some deliberation the conference,
with but two dissenting votes, passed
She following resolution'proposed by
Revs, 3. It, Gandy and Joseph Deacon:.
That the charges preferred against Dr.
Austin, having been sustained and,
proved, that he be deposed from the min
i -.
Istry of the Methodist Church.
