American Consul HixHon Has Been
Permitted by Chinese Gov.rn-
ment TO Attend Trials.

Washington, August 2s--The de-
partmeut has received cable advlces
from Minister DENLY dated August 81,
in which he states thar Mr.. HiXson,
our consul at Foo Chow, started for
Kutien under orders from him to In
vestigate the recent riots in the carly
part OF this month.
Mr.. Hixson went with the consent OF
the Chinese government and under
the protection Of an escort furnished
him by the provincial authorities. He
was accompanied by naval officer Of
our fleet, the latter, as the department
has been advised from other sources,
being Commander Newell OF the De-
troit.
Mr. Hizson has represented Mr.. Den
by that the work or the commission at
Kutien IL proceeding smoothly and
that the Chinese officials are lending
their active cooperation. A considcra-
BILE number OF convictions have been
already secured. As to the Szuchuan
commission Mr.. DENLY states that II
will begin its work us soon ns the
British consul Mt Chung King, who has
been designated by his government to
serve thereon, can leave his post which
for the time being he 'nnds impossible
to do.
The late victory OF szuchuan, II
Ping Chang. has not been appointed
by the Pekin government it's commits
sloner for investigation, either in the
June or August riots, but he has re-
ceived orders from the emperor to re-
main at his post at Cheng Tu until
his conduct prior TO and during the
riots had been thoroughly Investigated.
The first paragraph in the above
statement furnished by the state de-
partment completely disposes of a
story sent out from Washington by
the United Press n few days ago 10
the effect that Conaul HixAon had pro-
| oeeded hastily without authority The
whole statement also disp0ses OF
another baseless story that Minister
Deuby's course was unsatisfactory and
that he was likely to be recalled, il
is stated at the department that mat
tiers are progressing IN China IN an
entirely satisfactory manner.

state has seen for many years. An I'M
usually interesting set of subjects will

cussions, and besides these there are
to be five or six of the most eminent
educators in New England.
An illustrated prospectus will ap-
pear from the CaIedonaan press this
week, and it is expected that a
copy will reach every teacher in the
state. If any one is overlooked, re-
quest for copy should be sent to w.

A DISGRACE.

It will be remembered that during
the last session of the legislature
there was what was called fish
hatchery junket to Roxbury, and
that at that time some party or par
ties supplied liquor which was pretty
freely drank by many who were
present. 1t was claimed at the time
that the liquor was furnished and
given away by J. w. Titcomb and c..
C.Warren, Fish Commissioners. At the
recent session of the Washington Co.
court the grand jury brought in bill of
Indictment against both, and Mr.. Tit
comb has just had his trial, the jury
disagreeing. The evidence was some
what conflicting as to whether Tit
comb really gave away the liquor or
not; but there was no doubt that
some of the party carried several
bottles of liquor in valise;
also box we'll filled with bottles.
Those who took the liquor along did
not misjudge the crowd who went

THE ALASKA BOUNDARY.

AS in Venezuela, SO in Alaska, greed
of gold has impelled England to ig-
more boundary lines which had never
previously been in dispute. Since AL
aska became ours by purchase, in
1867, and forty years before when the
line was agreed upon by Great Britain
and Russia, no question has arisen as
to the validity of the existing delimi-
tation till eleven years ago when It'd
ings of gold discoveries led Canada to
make new map of the region and
include within her possessions much
territory that had been reckoned as
part of Alaska. This territory is in
the southeastern part of Alaska and
comprises an area about 800 miles in
length and of varying widths up to
$50 miles, including 100 miles of sea-
coast, with the adjacent harbors and
islands. The region is rich in timber,
gold, copper, iron, coal and marble.
Moreover, it is the gateway of the
overland route to the great basin of
the Yukon River, It has already a
population of $50, 900. The Canadians
contend that the "Portland ChanneP
mentioned in the treaty or 1925, up
which the line should ascend, is not
the present Portland Channel, but
Benin Channel, alleging that Portland
Channel mad not yet been named!
Further, the Canadians maintain that
where the word ''coast'' is mentioned
in the treaty, the islands and not the
mainland were intended, and that ten
marine leagues inland must be meas
ured from the western line of the is
lands. The American contention has
been that such measurement should
begin from the innermost eXtremities
of all bays and CULTS. Both this coun-
try and England have had surveying
parties in the field. Their report will
not be made public until the close Of
the present year. Meantime the Met
akahtla Indians on Annette Island,
the famous Treadwell and Silver Bow
mining properties, and the trade Of
the Yukon, not to mention minor in
terests and persons, are waiting in
suspense. Bitter complaints are made
of the Indifference of the officials at
Washington to the petitions of the Al
askan traders, which has paved the
way for Canada to send mounted po-
lice and custom officers into the dis
puted territory.

SOLID SOUTH NO MORE.

MARYLAND and Kentucky, Baltimore
and Louisville, as Republican states
and cities, are difficult political condl-
tons to grasp. The conjunction has
at first an unreal and fictitious sound
something like a Christian Chinaman
or a royal Irish Dragon.
But we are pretty sure to grow used
to them in course of time. The di-
version of these manufacturing Dor
der states from the party of Protec-
ton has been in each case a defiance
of the laws of political gravity. 1t
has in all of them been accomplished
by artificial means. In these two
states the means was the 'negro
domination" bugaboo. We do not
suppose that in these commemorative
so far North this pitiful scarecrow of
an issue was used to excite fear. 1t
was used to excite hate. 1t has been
sent to its pyre on an election night
bonfire, and hereafter the principles
and practices of government OF the
two parties will have an unhindered
c0dnC0 TO WOrk OuU ULOlI OWh saw"
tion For after it is seen in each state
that term of Republican administra-
ton does not mean the dominance OF
the negro, though it assuredly will
mean the full recognition of his rights,
it will be impossible to persuade the
densest of voters that "white suprem-
acy.n where the whites are in law
full majority, is engendered by Repub-
lican rule.
So while it would be foolish to place
these states on the ''safe Republican"
roll, it would be equally foolish to fail
to recognize the fact that the princi-
pal tie between them and Democracy
has been loosed. They are free to go
whittier their interests carry them.
Every new interest will carry them
further in the direction where all their
interests will be protected.
