A BOUNDARY LINE.
To Divide Alaska From
British Columbia.
How the Work Will Be Done by
Americans and Canadians-Hard
and Rough Work.

1t has been aseertained that in the bOun-
dairy survey between Alaska and British
Columbia several parties viii be placed on
the mainland bordering the archipelago
Alexander. Some of these parties are
Canadians and several are detailed by
Superintendent Mendenhall of the United
States Coast and GeOdetic Survey. This
part of the boundary line is by treaty
within thirty miles or less of the continental
shore. as Vancouver expressed il.
There will be triangulation and astro-
nomical parties on the rivers Taku.
Srickeen and Unuk, and one in HOlkham
Bay, and one, an astronomical party, at
Sitka.
The chiefs Of the Canadian parties are
not known. Those of the United States are
Messrs. Ogden, Titmann, Dickins Nc
Grath, Turner and Morse. The last named

Each Canadian party will have a United
States assistant attached to il, and each
United States party Viii have a Canadian
officer attached to it. This is the usual ar
rangement in such international inYestiga-
tlnns.
The men for the coast survey rarties Will
be taken from Puget Sound and San Fran

masked By glaciers or have great glaciers

A. T. Hatch, the veteran frult-grower of
Solano County. speaking last night about
the report of Chief Jenkins OF the weather
bureau stating that killing FROST had
taken place in different parts of the State,
said;
1T is certainly true that a frost has
fallen in various parts of the State. and in

vet heard no reports of there being any
thing killing about it. ! have received
telegrams from Snlano County which
stated that the frost had visited the or

damage was done. The same report comes
from other localities.
There IS not much danger to the fruit
trees from frost Just now, as the season IS
too early. From all reports the fruit crops
Will be very large this year. as the weather
conditions have been very favorable thus

Mr.. Hatch was very emphatic in his dec

A REPUBLICAN RALLY.
The Popular Tocaloma Club Assumes
a New Name

There seems to be considerable doubt In
political circles as to whether the alleged
elevation of John D. Spreckes to the posi-
tion of Republican boss is q recognized fact
either by that gentleman himself or his
party.
The supporters of the new movement
headed by John c, Quinn. James Gileran,
Henry Lynch, John NJ Days and others.
among whom are named Messrs Siebe
Alexander and Hughes, are represented as
having acted in concert in former days with
Kelly and other discrediied politicians, and
their movement is accordingly looked upon
with suspicion. 1t is thought strange that
no preliminary consultation at least should
have been Leld with the Tocaloma Club
and that wing Of the party of which Colonel
Daniel NJ. Burns is the acknowledged
leader.
The Tocaloma Club, which virtually dis
banded on March l last, is by no means
dead.
Yesterday the members held a meeting
and arranged TO take the old quarters at
10lS Market street for general club pur-
poses.
The club will be called the Republican
Headquarters of California, which cOnstl-
tutes IL the rallying point of Republlcanism
IN both State and municipal politics.
The members of the new club say that
Mr. Spreckes' name has been used pre-
matureiY and that the Republican Head
quarters Club Is come to stay and Will un-
d0ubtediy have the support of all true Re-
publicans. The club is well equipped with
men, capital and furniture, some $1,000

murdered. Matheny fed bareheaded from

and drew it down over his face. His hands
