British Territory.

WARRINGTON. Oct. 13.-The engineering and
surveying parties who have been In the field for
a year more making magnetic, Typographical,
and trigonometric surveys in the supposed vicin-
ity OF the boundary lines between Alaska and
British America, have completed their labors
and are now transcribing their field notes. As
this work Is to be submitted TO the chief of the
Coast and Geodetio Survey, and by him placed
in possession of the Commissioners on the part Of
the two Governments, the men who did the field
work naturally decline to discuss the results Of
their work. especially so far as It bears upon the
location or probable change in the BOUNDARY
line 1t is known, however, that these surveys
have resulted In a manner satisfactory to the
United States.
The statement published that Mount st. Elias,
in Alaska. which has always been held to be on
United States soil, has been found TO be In Brit
fish territory is said TO be at least premature and
made wit hort authority of any one in possession
OF the facts. The computations have not been
made. and until this Is done the man who made
the survey will not make any statement on tho
subject. The height of this mountain, 1S,020
feet as determined in 1892, is found to be prao-
ticaly accurate.

sPATN's PENDING TARIFF BILL
IL Impose. Lower Dutie. Ths. the wiI.on-
Gorman Bill.

WARRINGTON, Oct. 13. - When the Spanish
Cortes convenes few weeks hence It will be
asked to consider new tariff bill which the
Ministry have prepared. The bill was presented
to the Cortes last summer and referred to q
committee corresponding to the Ways and
Means Committee in the American House Of
Representatives. But the Cortes adjourned be-
fore the committee reported. At the next ses-
sion, which will begin not later than the first
week in November. the bill will be taken up and
passed practically in its original form. II makes
material reductions on all articles Of import,
and 1t is understood to be step in the direction
of freer trade relations with other countries.
Moret and Mr.. Becerra, the Colonial Minister,
are both free traders. The dominant influence
in the Ministry favors a decided lowering OF
duties, and IL Is believed that the proposed new
law, after IL shall have been in operation for a
while, may be succeeded by another still more
liberal in character. The pending Tariff bill
imposes lower rate OF duty than that which
recently passed the American Congress. II APP

Porto Rico. these changes must be embodied

The Spanish Government Is represented as
being especially desirous OF freer trade relations
make new treaty at any time with this country
which will result In q lowering Of the rate OF
duty sugar from Cuba and other articles
imported from the Spanish West Indies and the
material concessions on our expectations to
those countries. THE Spanish Government"
as Minister Muruaga expressed II to-day. is
always ready for a trade. Spain will meet tho
