THE ALASKA SURVEY.

Superintendent Il. c. Mendenhall OF the
Coast and Geodetic Survey has Just deliv-
cred lecture in Brooklyn on the work OF
the Alaska survey, which is being con-
Quoted by joint commission OF English
and American surveyors. The reader will
remember that last year a commencement
of work was made, and few points deter
mined by the trigonome eiricaI survey. The
difficulties thrown in the way by the broken
nature of the country made progress slow.
This year the parties Will make a fresh
start as soon as the snow and ice permit.
Those who are familiar with the subject
are aware that the controversy over Port
land canal" as 1t is called in the old maps,
or Portland Channel" as 1t is called now.
is still open. The British claim one line
from the southernmost point Of Prince
Of Wales Island to The mainland ana we
claim an other. 1t has always seemed 10
our Coast Survey that there is no basis for
the British contention, but as nothing is al
stake except two or three small islands,
wh ch are unin habited and will probably
remain so. and have no appIeclable value
in money, it matters little how the dispute
is adjusted. A new contention of the Eng
lish is of more consequence.
The treaty states that the dividing line
between the Russian possessions, which
are now ours. and the British possessions
shall be line drawn on the top of the
coast range, unless that range is more
than ten marine leagues from the sea-
coast. The surveyors have now discovered
that there Is NO coast range at all, but
merely isolated peaks, with wide level
tracts of wilderness between them. When
this discovery was made 1t was agreed th at
line ten marine leagues from the sea-
coast, without regard to mountains, should
be taken as the dividing line. But a
question then arose, What was the sea-
coast? Our surveyors held that the sea-
coast was the line where the land ended
and the sea began. The British, Oh the
contrary. insisted that the seacoast was
the outer edge of the islands situate outside
the land. Now, the coast of Alaska is
fringed with a chain Of islands, some of
which extend far out % sea, and are situ-
ate at some distance from the mainland, So.
il the British claim were accepted, Canada
would come into possession of the whole
mainland and many Of the inner islands
and the United States would have to b5
content with the outer islands. This
would mean the surrender of Juneau City,
Fort Wrangel and some OF the best mining 2
regions of Alaska. Our surveyors have
refused to admit this claim aud are plant
ing their posts ten marine leagues. or about
thirty-fve miles. from the real shore OF the
continent. The British surveyors have
thus far contented themselves with pro-
| testing.
While 1t Is hardly to be expected that
| q serious international disputs can arise

WHAT WILL HE DO WITH TIP

Fifty Boston bankers have brought their
guns to bear on President Cleveland. The
demand now is that he veto the segnior-
age bill. All SORTS of calamitIes are pre-
dicted If he allows It to become law. In
fact. it is said that the coinage of SIS. .O0O,-
600 of silver bullion will ruin the banking
business. OF course these bankers know
that it will not. They know that it would
check The appreciation Of gold somewhat
and in that way reduce their profits. But
the business of handling other peoples
money is too profitable to be ruined.
President Cleveland has not been in a
more critical position than he now Is
since his Inauguration. Tie general ex-
pec.ation is that he will cling to his old
friends.

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY STANDS.

The Senate Finance Committee has
stricken out the clause In the tariff bill
Hawaii. The object OF putting that pro-
vision in the bill cannot be conjectured.
II there Is any widespread demand among
Americans to cut the Islands loose from
the United States at time when Eng
land stands ready to take them under her
wing it has not been manifested through
he press. The Democratic papers which
support the Presidents Hawaiian policy
are few and far between.

many had to stand up. Nearly fifty
members of the faculty were in their
places on the platform. Preceding the
regular exercises, President Ballantine
made some very appropriate remerks, in
which he welcomed the old as well as
the new students. He urged every one
to get a good start in his work, and not
to get behind. He also made few
statements cOncerneng the rules, and in
what spirit they should be Obeyed. He
took the liberty to invite the new students

A SERIOUS WRECK.

.
Three y1oA Killed and Three Others FATAL
b injured on the B. = o. Southwestern
{ Road.
: CHrLLrcorHE, o., June 25.-A terrible
wreck occurred on the Baltimore q
Ohio Southwestern at Walnut Creek
Sunday afternoon, In which three men
were killed, two fatally injured and one
90 badly hurt II is not thought he can
recover. The men were all tramps
stealing ride There were eleven al.
together, but ave had narrow escapes
and two only saved kAeir lives by jump.
ing down trestle fifty feet high. The
accident occurred Ut 8 o'clock In the
afternoon, ten miles east Of this city.
Extra freight train with twenty-five
cars was coming this way and while
crossing the high trestle ct Walnut
Creek the train broke in two and came
together again with terrible crash.
Two of the cars reared on end for .
moment and went over the trestle and
fell fifty feet below.
One of the cars contained two tramps
who saw their danger and jumped.
Remarkable to say, they escaped with
q few scratches. In the second car
ahead of this one was another contain
ing six more tramps and it went over
also, whirling over and over, and final
ly striking the rocky bottom and bury
ing its Inflated occupants in the wreck.
The front part of the train had come to
a stop by this time and the trainmen,
with the assistance of three other
tramps who had escaped, succeeded in
getting four Of the injured men out
from the debris. The other two men
were already dead.
The four men taken from the wreck
were brought to this city, where they
arrived shortly before 8 o'clock, and
were conveyed to the Commercial
house. One man only lived twenty
minutes. Papers on his person showed
him to be John Smell, of Toledo. He
tald the doctor, however, that his name
was George Wilson. The others In
jured were William Mcintyre, Pitts
burg; Walter Jackson, Baltimore, W.

killed are unknown. Six cars were
broken into kindling wood and the loss
ia leavy. No trainmen were injured
