WE LOSE MOUNT ST. ELIAS.
1t Is Not Americas Biggest and Rs
ON British Soil ANYWAY.

WASHINGTON, Sept. II, 1S94.-The ad
vance guard of the surveying parties
that have been engaged during the sum
mer in completing the survey of Alaska.
have returned to this city. This sea-
sons work is supposed to finish the joint
survey of the boundary by Great Britain
and the United States and put the mat
ter into such shape that the State De-
partments of the two governments can
get to work and arrive at some conclu-
sion regarding the validity of their re-
spective claims, which are very conflict
ing. 1t settles the ownership of the least
valuable part of Alaska, provided there
are no unexpected discoveries of precious
metals in the coast region under dispute
The main body of the great region pur
chased from Russia is definitely located
on the 14lst meridian. But the point
that the English hope to gain is to force
the line down to cross some of the broad
inlets running into the coast and give
them water access to their own terri
tory without regard to United States
custom houses and tariff 1t is not like
ly that they will be able to accomplish
this.
One of the most important and re-
gretted results of the seasons work was
to settle that Mount ST. Elias, SO long
regarded as the giant mountain OF the
continent was not on American soil.
1t was also settled beyond dispute that
the mountain was not the tallest on
the continent there being two or three
others little further inland that out-top
it by some hundred feet. They are all
on British territory, however.
What was almost as interesting as
the determination of Mount Elias posi-
ton was the determination of its height
This was found to be 1923 feet consid-
erably higher than the estimate given
by numerous exploring parties fron the
Geographical Society of this city and
others who have tried to measure the
peak. But the most astonishing thing
was the discovery of two, If not three
other mountains a few miles inland that
are higher, even, than the famous Saints
| Mountain. OF these, Mount Logan is
| 1883, and there are two other nameless
peaks that overreach Mount st. Elias
| by several feet
The surveying parties of the two ma
/ tions at work on the boundary were
mixed in each case, the English having
representatives with our coast survey
men and the coast survey sending men
with the English parties.
There were some narrow escapes in
| the course of the seasons work, several
of the boats being upset at diff eAnt
| times and part of the provisions, c q es
| and instruments lost, but there Were tno
| fatalities, and the heads of the Bufeau
| are pleased at the work DONE

RI, Cob,e ia fbs TJnited PROSE

LONDON. Sept IL. 1s94.-The Congress
of the Associated Chambers of Com
merce opened here today, Sir Albert
K Rollit presiding. In his opening
speech the presiding officer said that all
current data concurred in promising
revival of trade. 1t was one of the
greatest of facts that any movement
causing a relaxation of the tariff in
America must be beneficial to British
trade. Whatever England had suffered
through bad times. other countries had
suffered more.
A delegate from the Newcastle Cham
ber of Commerce proposed q resolution
declaring that British trade interests
with Spain required that treaty relations
should be settled with the least possible
delay. The debate on this resolution
discleked the growth of a tendency
towards reciprocity.
Several delegates urged an increase of
duty upon Spanish wines unless a de-
creased tariff upon English goods were
accorded by Spain. The resolution was

BIG STEP FORWARD
Commissioner W. H. Nor
rison Commends the New
Tariff Law.
BENEFICIAL TO THE COUNTRY
Bounties to Sugar Planters Abrupt
ly Cut Off England on the
Tariff

WASHINGTON. Sept. II. 1S94-Inter-
State Commerce Commissioner William
H Morrison, pioneer among tariff re-
formers and author of the Morrison
horizontal BILL in lengthy interview on
the new tariff law. regards it as big
step forward. though he strongly con-
demns many OF it's features, especially
the cotton schedule which Senator AID
rich commended on the floor of the Sem
ate as being work of genius. Mr.. Nor
rison says
More was promised and expected than
is provided for in the new bill and some
disappointment follows. but I think this
will be only temporary. What has been
gained will be beneficial to the country
first and afterwards to the party. The
income tax will be popular with those
who do not pay it and unpopular with
those who do. 1t will eventually drop
out Or be extended to all who have in
comes. When. in 1876. 1 was advocating
my first tariff bill in Congress, l said:-
Burdens >of government should be borne
In proportion to ability to bear them.
Property should pay the taxes He who
has much should pay much; he who has
little should pay little: and he who has
none, none There are a great many
people in this country today who be-
lieye in what then said
"rhe sugar tax is unpopular. Viewed
from partisan standpoint, it was shrewd
in the Republican party to empty the
treasury and turn over fiscal affairs to
the Democratic administration in a con-
dtion which made tax on sugar neces-
i
the obligations of the Government. The
House did not believe the necessity ex-
listed, and resisted the levying on of this
tax. Even the Senate hesitated-some
of its members opposing any tax on sugar
others preferring the Mckinley law with
both protection and bounty. There
could scarcely beany question as to this
necessity after the letter of the Secretary
of the Treasury, advising the Senate that
a tax on sugar was necessary to prevent
deficiencies, and the letter ofthe Presi-
dent advising members of the House that
a tax on sugar was in accord with the
Democratic platform and Democratic prin
ciples, and that tax on coal and iron
ore was un-Democratic and not necessary,
thus confirming the Treasury statement
that revenue from sugar was indispens-
able.
"a portion of the Democratic press
would make it appear that the President
was with the House for free sugar. This
is not only hurtful to the party, but it is
untrue The letters of the President and
Secretary of the Treasury show that the
administration favors a revenue tax on
sugar as measure of wise economy and
good democracy'
