The Alaska boundary Survey.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The Star has on several occasions pub
lished accounts Of the operations OF the
Alaskan boundary survey parties. and
reference to it's files would show conclu-
sively that the aspersion cast on their
operations by the editor of a Juneau news
paper, as quoted in an extract from a
Seattle paper. published in Fridays Star.
is due to ignorance on the part of its au-
thor. The article asserts that the bound
airy survey parties were negligent in their
work, and confined themselves to viewing
the supposed boundary from the deck OF
their steamer. The astute author doubt
less refers to a steamer which carried the
parties to Alaska, and was afterward en-
gagged in carrying chronometerS between
Stka and various initial stations along the
coast but which had no other function In
the boundary survey. Its officers, how
ever were engaged in making observations
for the improvement of sailing charts.
Uncle Sans boundary surveyors were en-
gagged on the land, and were chiefly busted
in establishing points thirty miles from
the coast, in the interior, in accordance
with their instructions. One Of these par
ties wintered under the arctic circle, and
crossed over to the Arctic ocean by a route
never before Travelled by a white man; an
other on the Yukon, many hundred miles
from the coast, and all did their duty with
patriotic zeal, and often at the risk of life
and limb in ascending icy mountains or
dangerous streams. FIAT JCSTITIA.

LATE SPORTING NEWS
WILL KILL THE SPORT.
Views of . Turf Authority on Winter
Racing.

Racing.
The continued determined efforts to carry
on winter racing at Washington and Bal
timore, in the face of public sentiment,
are not calculated to bring about revival
of the old glories of these cities as the
homes Of the very highest class Of thor
oughbred sport, says the Spirit of the
Times. In the old days. fifteen or twenty
years ago, the spring and fall meetings
at Washington and Baltimore were second
to none. They attracted the best horses
and the most prominent men in the coun-
try connected with racing. The meetings
were of short duration, they were admira-
bly, conducted, and they were annually
looked forward to with q great deal of
pleasure by the people of Washington and
Baltimore as important social functions.
Even no more than eight or ten years ago
the sport at these two points retained much
of its old-time prestige.
The opening of the st. ASaph track last
autumn encouraged the hope that high
class sport might again be revived at the
capital. This belief is still further en-
phasized by the compromise over the in
junction recently issued against the Alex
ander Island track. But if winter racing
is to be forced upon communities that do
not want it this hope might as well be
abandoned. for there is no doubt whatever
that persistence in conducting this quality
of racing at Washington and Baltimore
will speedily result in the enactment of
laws that will drive the thoroughbred COM
pletely out of that section.

BRIGHTWOOD.

On account of the severe weather of Fri
day night the Citizens Association and
Hamline Church meetings were postponed.
Miss Miller is quite i'll at her home on
Flint street, Brightwood Park.
The recent blizzard caused here. as 1t did
elsewhere, many accidents and much suf-
fering. On Friday night when, at II
o'clock. the gale was at the height Of its
fury, a young man. stranger to this
place. was found on Brightwood avenue
near Keily's store in ap unconscious and
nearly frozen condition. he was carried
into the store nearby. where everything
of the frozen man was much swollen in
some parts, and for time his condition
was considered critical.
While delivering bread on Saturday
morning a bakers boy lost control of his
horse, which ran away and scattered the
bread in a snow drift. In gathering his
goods the boy had his feet so badly frozen
that his shoes could only be removed by
cutting them off.
Superintendent Of Road Construction
Geo. E. Beale has promised the residents
of this section that the roads and streets
will be cleared of snow without delay.
Up until Sunday morning the Brightwood
Railroad Company had found 1t impossible
to run a car since Thursday night. when
the road was blockaded by immense snow
drifts, which. despite all efforts at remov-
ing them. grew larger and more numer-
Gus. However. at an early hour on Sun
day all the men on the line, headed by
Superintendent O'Brien. turned out, with
the determination of clearing the tracks at
any cost. The work of cutting through
snow drifts and keeping the portion of the
tracks clear from which the snow had been
removed by running the cars backward
and forward was continued through the
day. BY nightfall one track had been
cleared along almost the whole length of
the route. This morning four cars are
running the whole length Of the route.

modate the public.

Says That He Was Promised More and
Wants It.
Billy Joyce, captain of the Washington
Base Ball Club. gave the following reasons
in St. Louis the other day for refusing to
sign for next season:
81 haven't signed yet, and unless
change my mind, which isn't likely, will
not at the terms offered. My contract ar
rived before Christmas. 1t calls for the
same salary I received last season, but
had been promised an increase, and ac-
ccrdingly wrote Manager Schmelz and the
Wagners about the matter. In reply I
was Informed that could get no more
money. and that's about the way the mat
ter stands at present. When signed last
year I was told that If the Washington
club made money during the season Of
1894 would get substantial increase this
season. 1 know the club made money, and
1 don't think it is unreasonable for me to
ask for the promised increase. Abbey,
Mercer and other players on the team
have their salaries increased, and ii the
club can afford to give these men more
money I am justified in demanding what
was promised me. Even when paid a big
salary it is no pleasure to play ball with
team like Washington, and I make no
secret of the fact that I would like to be
with a winning team once more. The
Washington management don't seem to
appreciate my work, and I would welcome
a change. All want is the limit and extra
compensation for captaining the club
