A few weeks ago We alluded to the sub
ect of the disputed islands in the Archipel.
ago de AFRO, and the necessity for an early
adjustment Of the water boundary between
the United States and British America. This
is question of paramount interest to Wash.
ington Territory, and to the United States at
large, and consequently one which commands
our earnest and wrtchful attention. The
following paragraph from the Victoria Ga.
zette, Of Feb. II, we publish as an interest.
ing item in connection with this question.
awe understand a number Of Americans
residing in Victoria, andat other places on the
Sound, have sent Surveyor to San Juan
lsland-in dispute between the United States
and British gOvernments-for the purpose Of
pre.cmpting land according to the pre-emp
ton laws Of the United States, believing
that in the end this Island will be declared to
be American territory. tits looked upon as
q speculation in which little Is risked, and in
case Of success, the profit large. It is likely,
unless this boundary question is soon settled,
trouble may grow out OF these movements.
The value and Importance Of this single
island of San Juan, in the archipelago, in
National as well as Territorial point Of view,
can scarcely be estimated. 1t commands the
Canal de AFRO, being situated at its southern
extremity, covering and protecting all the
other islands. in this group. 1t is some
twelve miles in length and about four miles
wide, containing sufficient farming and graz
ing laud, to say nothing of its fishing facili-
ties, to support largo settlement We are
not SUR riscd at the movement indicated in
the above quoted paragraph, nor indeed are
we sorry to sec it. II may tend to hasten
tho settlement of the question of jurisdic-
ton, than which no moe important question
has existed for many years between Great
Britain and tho United States.

Gen Scott visited New Orleans Jan. 9th, and
received the hOspitalities of the city, a military
escort and a salute There was an immense
crowd to welcome him, and much enthusiasm
was manifested. On the sth-the anniversary Of
the Latle Of New Orlcans--he delivered an i'd
dress from which the following is an extract:
8ehoiA ~ this vast array Of happy soldiers,
whose rich uniforms and glittering muskets, with
drum and fife, and clarion, remind them Of the
roar OF war. Still they think not Of it. What
makes them 50 gay and cheerful? Tomorrow
they must be led to the charge. They know II,
but are confident Of victory. They have heard
the proud city must fall. The words are
booty and bOauty;" this is their motto They
came, and how we're they metz Would YOU
know il? Ask that gallant band Of veteran sol.
diers whose muskets did the work. Great ap-
plause) Would you know itP Ask those grave
men--young sons then-sons Of Louisiana.
Would you take Q lesson in valoF, patriotism and
glorys Ask those veterans Of 1914; they will
give It to you. (APplause.) This is their day.
Il was their day on the Sth Of January, 1916.
1t was their day then in the midst Of the battle
let it be their day now. Well, then, let the
free sons Of Louisiana give them the honor that
is their due. (Applause) Gentlemen, it is use
less for me to exhOrt you to-day as to the proper
celebration Of this anniversary. Il Is one so
deeply implanted in the hearts Of Louisianians
one so deeply cherished by Americans at large
that It Is not necessary to allude to tho cir
cumstances Of that battle, nor 10 the details Of
that glorious engagement All We can do is TO
return our thanks and bless the Almighty Prov
idenee for the blessings fought for then, and
which we are now enjoying"

The McMtcEen REQUEST,

Although the city Of Cincinnati has not
realized, and will not realize, the extravagant
expectancy Of very large fund from the be-
quest Of CHARLES MCMICKEE, it would be an
unworthy regard for the youth and orphans Of
our city to abandon the care and guardianship
Of the respectable amount which undoubtedly
will DO realized. II may DO fortunate that
there is not an undue accumulation, and we
bcspesk from tho representatives Of the city q
thoughtful consideration Of their duty in refer
epcs to this trust. Our excellent public schools
provide amply for those who can and will at
tend day schools. We trust that tho Nc
MlcKEN property will be placed in the hands
Of Board, like that to which the HUGHES
School Fund, and the WOODWARD High School
Fund, were committed, and an ample supply Of
wholesome instruction and training may bo
given to large body Of y oung mechanics, ap-
prentioss, who are engaged during the day, but

on lectures in tho evening. We most earnestly
invooate high-toned spirit in all concerned,
TO procure practical results from the MeMIcKES

Mr.. Greenwood, the Commissioner Of Indian
Affairs, has returned to this city, after an
absence of six weeks, during which time he
made arrangements for treaties with the Sacs
and Foxes of the Mississippi, and with the
Kaw Indians Of Kansas. He also visited nearly
all the Indian tribes in Kansas and Nebraska.
He expresses qualification at the result OF his
numerous interviews with them, and says that
they are anxious 10 adopt the pursuits Of CIV
iiized life, as they can no longer depend upon
the chase.
The United States sloop-of-war Vincsnnes,
having been absent on the coast of Africa for
two years, has been ordered homo.

them are signed Jno. Smith, in the hand
of one Of the sons of 0ssowattamie Brown,

Keep Trying.

1t is related Of an old lady that she spoke
quite fsvorably of the Dictionary, as an inter-
esting reading book, only that it changed it's
subject SO often. Our railroad friends have
tive subjects to dwell on, and to determine
which they hold Conventions nearly every
lunar month. One is to ngree on the price Of
freight and the other the ticket rates. The
Railway Freight Agents concluded Conyen-
tiOn at Dayton on Saturday, agreeing on new
tariff, to take effect on the first Of November.
