RECLAIM ALEXANDER ISLAND
District Attorney Birney Believes the Thing
Gan Be Done.
Says the Property Clearly Belongs Il
the District of COlumbia-Course
to Follow.

Referring to the reference to him by the
Attorney General Of the request Of the
District Commissioners that proceedings be
instituted to determine whether Alexander
Island is within the District or the state of
Virginia, District Attorney Birney stated
to Star reporter today that he would re-
ply to the Attorney General today or to-
morrow. In SO doing, Mr.. Birney explained
he would report that in his opinion the
proceedings should be instituted by the At
tcrney General, as the district attorney sell
dom appeared in the United States Supreme
Court, in which court the proceedings
must be commenced, unless he should be
specially directed by the Department OF
Justice.
The proceedings. said Mr.. Birney, would
DO In the nature Of an original bill to estab-
lish boundaries, and as the United States
would be the plaintiff and the state Of Vir-
ginia the defendant. the United States su-
preme Court would be the only court hay
ing jurisdiction to try the case. In his
communication to the Attorney General,
Mr.. Birney stated that he would report
that. in his opinion, the United States has
strong case. certainly a debatablc one.
and that suit should be instituted to re-
cover Alexander Island, which, in his opin-
len. really Is part of and therefore be-
longs to the District of Columbia.
alexander Island, believe" said Mr..
Birney. rs as much part Of the District
as Analostan Island, about which latter
territory there is no question. 1t seems to
me, as the result of an investigation into
the matter, that Gravelly creek, which sep
arates Alexander Island from the mainland
or Virginia, Is as much an arm of the Po-
tomac as is Little river, which separates
Analostan Island from the Virginia main
land. If that is so, and 1t seems to me
that it cannot well be denied, the District
is clearly entitled to take possession and
hold Alexander Island. That question
would, of course. necessarily be the issue.
practically the sole one, to be determined
in the suit in the Supreme Court
That the contention of the District could
be established to the courts satisfaction
Mr.. Birney is reasonably confident, and
he thinks that the suit for the recovery Of
tuted. Should the Supreme Court decide
in favor of the District the laws Of the
District would. of course, prevail in the re-
claimed territory

the Shantung promonitory, and about
twenty miles distant from Wei-Hai-Wei
These troops formed part of the second
army under Marshal Oyama, which had
captured Port Arthur, and they were con-
veyed from Talien-Wan on board a fleet OF
transports, escorted by the Yayema and
other warships belonging to the Japaness
fleet. marine brigade was landed, and
encountered feeble resistance, which was
quickly overcome. By the afternoon OF
January II the landing Of the troops from
two fleets of transports had been success
fully accomplished.
announced that further force of Japan
csc soldiers had been landed at Raining,
a small island to the west of Wei-Hai-W Ell
and the following day came the news that
another landing had been effected at Ming
hal. twenty miles from Chefoo and about
the same distance from Wei-Hai-Wei.
BY this time the japanese plan of cam
paign had become clear. The object aimed
at was to invest Wei-Hai-Wei completely
on the land side, while to seward the Jap
anese war vessels were on the alert and
ready to deal with the Chinese fleet cooped
up in the bay.
Minister Kurlno's Fears.
Minister Kurino of Japan was delighted
to hear of the capture of Wei-HaiWei.
y dispatch wac received at the japanese
legation from the minister of foreign af-
fairs, saying that the peace ENJOYS We're
expected to arrive at Hiroshima today and
. would be received with all the honors de-
creed in such cases by international law.
Speaking of the dispatch, Minister kurino
expressed the fear that the peace negotia-
lions might fail. IF such should be the
case" h., said 'it will be entirely China S
fault. We have repeatedly stated publicly
that our conferees Count Ito and Count
Mutsu. had full powers to treat, and we
have demanded that the Chinese envovs
should be similarly commissioned AL
though we cannot tell absolutely until their
credentials are presented, 1t now appears
that the latter have not power to agree
absolutely to anything. Under these condi-
tons we shall probably decline TO treat,
and in that case the blame will rest entire
ly on China"
Minister kurino has not yet received any
information from his government regard
ing the reported fall of Wei Hal Wei, this
information, as is usual probably being
delayed by official formalities; but he hopes
to receive advices by tomorrow.
Reported Japanese Victory.
United States Consul Jernigan at Shang-
hal. under today's date, cables the State
Department that the Japanese have cap
tured the land forts at Wei-Hai-Wei and
that the capture of the fortified island and
the Chinese fleet is regarded as imminent.
Two more gunboats will soon be added
to the American fleet in Chinese waters,
making eight in ALL The additions are the
cruiser Detroit and the gunboat MachiaS.
The latter arrived at Colombo, Ceylon yes
terday, and the Detroit left that port the
same day for Singapore, with hong Kong
her next stopping place. me Machias
will follow her in few days. She is low
dra ught gunboat and is well adapted for
service in the shallow waters of Chinese
rivers. The gunrCat Concord arrived at
