THE BOUNDARY LINE.
The Question OF More Definitely Marking
the Virginia Fishing Waters.

The following letter was received yes
terday by Mr.. Mcleod for Governor Nc
Kinney from Mr. Joseph 3. Seth. com
mander Of the State Fishing Force OF
Maryland
ION the 18th Of November Captain
Seth Foster and 1. being in the Pocomoke
Sound investigating the shooting Of Isaac
Stirling by Captain Gaskins, had a con-
ference in relation to the question OF more
distinctly defining the boundary line be-
tween the States Of Maryland and Vir-
ginia in Tangier and Pocomoke Sounds,
by some visable marks, and we con-
Guided that probably the best thing TO be
done for the present, was TO erect cheap
tower on Watkins point. to cost about
$3.50 and to erect beacOns off shore on
the mud fats, in positions TO make
range Of objects, so as to plainly designate
the line aforesaid Captain Foster told
me that he thought the State Of Virginia
would bear half of the expenses of the
work
Il have reported my interview to Gov
ernor Brown, and at his request intended
to write Captain Foster and ask him TO
submit the matter to your Excellency and
ask your concurrence in the undertaking,
but as l am ignorant Of the address of
Captain Foster, 1 concluded to write
directly to you and ask you TO confer with
Captain Foster.
1T is true, the legislative committees
Of the two States now have under con-
sideraton matters relating to taking
oysters in Pocomoke Sound, but any plan
that they may suggest, cannot be carried
out until the meeting Of the Legislatures
of the two States, which will be near the
end of the next oyster season. Conse-
quently, as we have yet to go through two
oyster seasons, and even then with no
certainty Of a change, and with this
question of line constantly bothering and
harassing the officers and citizens Of
the two States, / think it would be wise
to unite in erecting these marks, as
have suggested.
of it meets with your concurrence,
please notify me Immediately, and / will
arrange to have the work done, and as
soon as possible will notify Captain Fos-
ter to meet me and superintend the erec-
ton of the proposed objects. The cost
will be so light, that 1 do not think either
State would object to 1t.
MY proposition is to erect on Watkins
Point, an open frame tower forty feet
in height, with a close dark roof, and a
mile or more away on the mud flats in the
Sound. TO plant a bunch Of three or four
poles and cap them with some distinct
object"

"THE SENATOR"
Henry Watterson's Reflections on Como
dian Cranes Comedy.


Probably the most widely discussed
comedies that have been produced on
the American stage In recent years Is
that which William II. Crane produced
three years ago at the Star Theatre, In
New York city. This play is called THE
Senator" II deals with n topic that Is
not only American in tone and sentiment,
but IL attacks one OF the most important
questions relating to the obligations at
times existing between the Government OF
the United States and its creditors. So
strong is this question agitated in the
comedy that IL has brought forth dis
cussions and editorials from leading
statesmen and editors throughout the
country.
Henry Watterson saw the play in New
York, and was so impressed with II that
he wrote letter to Mr.. Crane, Of which
the following Is an extract:
Courier Journal Office,
Louisville, KY, November /, 1891.
My Dear Mr.. Crane:
Within five minutes after the rising Of
the curtain on THE Senator" last night
/ discovered that It related to the Arm
strong claim. In manner, l grew up
with that claim. The story of the comedy
as it unfolded itself. showed me, as
had never realized before, the justice
and force Of that which before had APP
pealed chiefly TO my affections. The Sias
Denman Of your play is real person, the
claim is a real claim, and personally
knew, lived, and was familiar wpith every
one Of your dramatist persOnae.
.
Your play is Identified with one of the
greatest. and NJ the same time one Of
the least considered issues in any way
arising out Of the relation Of the Govern
ment of the United States to it's citizens.
That issue is the relation sustained by
the Government TO its creditors.
1t cannot be presented without stirring
the profoundest sensibilities Of all true
and thinking men. / write this 10 you
out Of the fullness Of my heart and be-
lief, personally congratulating you not
only upon securing so great a comedy. but
also congratulate myself upon so power
full an Interpreter of ideas which have
lain so long and so close TO my heart.
I thank you. my dear Mr.. Crane, for this
charming impersonation OF all that should
be I'm our public life, legislative and in
diyidual, and am always.
Sincerely your friend.
