JOHN BULL AS A LAND GRABBER.
Trying to Steal Slice of Alaska Now
Trouble Is Expected.

San Francisco CAL, August 49, In
an Interview last night Father Barnham,
Sd, who has just returned from Alaska,
said, regarding the boundary between
British Columbia and Alaska:
England has a surveying party up
there now running a new line to suit
herself These engineers are not on a
junketing tour to amuse themselves !;
they are working hard. They have a
magnificent equipment and have already
accomplished great deal
WE WILL LOSE MUCH
"Unless we have gumption we shall
lose an immense slice of southeastern
Alaska. They will steal Glacier Bay and
some grand harbors. We have not paid
enough attention to this question. Alas
called Stewards Ice Chest" Little or
nothing was known about the country,
and people here did not take interest
enough i'll it to think about it
"We are cut off, ''he continued, "by the
general congress. We have no right rep
resentation, and what is needed now is
a man who will rise up and bring this
qu6SoiOIl III bilo lli1l lualgilIlui5 VI llS lii
portance before the people. Arbitrationf
We always lose in arbitration. We lost
in the San Juan question. The 60 miles
limit in the Behring Sea was nonsenical.
We lost there too, / suppose the English
will decide ON boundary of their own
between Alaska and Canada
WE MAY HOWL.
"Then we will howl Canada will howl
too, and there must be arbitration of
course. Now, why do the English make
this move at this late dayS Since 1S41
the boundary was aaasettled fact. 1t was
never disputed when the territory be-
longed to Russia and was known as Rus
sia-America 1t is still on all the English
maps, which Eshows that it was accepted
by England through all these years, and
to ask for arbitration now on new lin e
is nothing but impertinence.
AT Forty Mile Creek, where there never
has been trouble of any kind, a detach-
ment of Canadian police was stationed
recently, and Father Barnham said he
expected serious trouble between the
American miners and the Canadian
officers.

Maine. the Texas. the Boston and the
Adams.

| Washington, August 22.-The Acting
Secretary of the Navy called a conference
of the Naval Bureau chiefs this morning
as a result of which orders have been
issued directing that the cruiser Boston
and the wooden corvette Adams in the
Mare Island Navy Yard, be fitted out and
be put in commission at the earliest
possible moment Instructions have also
been sent to the New York and Norfolk
Navy Yards to hurry up the repairs upon
the Columbia and the fitting out of the
Maine and the Texas. In addition the
bureau chiefs have been urged to lose no
time in the completion of plans for the
two battle ships and the six new gun
boats authorized by the last Congress.
The prime motive, for this sudden i'm
petus in the work On the new navy is to
make a good showing for the adlninistra-
ton. 1t is the ambition of the department.
that every one of the vessels of the new
navy already begun shall be completed
and ready for sea, and that work upon the
vessels not yet contracted for shall be
well advanced at the close of Mr.. Cleve-
lands term. The officials are chatting
under the criticisms of the naval
manoeuvres fiZzle.
No decision has been reached as to the
VI ulio 1OSuOu ebiii ulO 1aUNllisj
but Acting Secretary McAdoo said today
that he thought it important that these
two vessels should be made ready for any
emergency that might occur on the
Pacific coast The Boston is talked of
for duty in China, but it may be decided
to send her to Hawaii to relieve the
Bennington. The Adams will be used for
service in Central Ameri ca. The new
gunboats are urgently desired for duty on
the Asiatic station.

Not Hopefel of Monetary Conference.

London, August 22.-In the House of
Commons today Sir John Lang asked
Balfour, first lord of the treasury,
whether in consonance with the views
he had repeatedly expressed he would
advise that the government invite the
assembling of an international conference
in order to obtain an agreement in regard
to the currency. Balfour said he had al
ways been strongly in favor of an inter
national agreement upon the currency
question, but that he had no right to
pledge his colleagues to such an opinion,
nor had he any reason for thinking that
such an agreement would result at the
present moment from an international
conference. A second abortive conference
ho thought would be very undesirable

Stevens Will officiate for tho visitors.
Game called at 8 Is.
Yesterday was Circus day at the ball
grounds, and Leighton. Corbett, Mage on
and Spill were the principal actors, for
they all made circus plays.
M agoon is playing great ball for man
who is SO lame he can hardly get around
Lincoln is no longer puzzle for Port
land. The boys have punished him badly
in the last two games, while on the other
hand Killeen remains the same hard
puzzle for the Fall Rivers to solve.
Spill is getting back into batting form
again, and his hard hit liners are pleasing
to see.
Leighton's fielding yesterday was the
best seen on the grounds this season. de
was everywhere and took balls that are
generally base hits. The only thing he
did not do was to climb the fence and get
one, and no doubt he would if he had had
the chance.
The boys are playing great ball. and
should be we'll remembered when the
Maine series start in.
O'Rourke has developed into fine
batter, and he is pretty sure to do the
right thing when a hit is needed.
