the World from Washington says:
| The Alaskan boundary line question
will be forced to speedy Termination
by the action Of Canada, II not by
some diplomatic move on the part Of
Secretary Of State Olney. It is an
nounced that the Dominion govern
ment is to direct the mounted police
to assume control of the frontier along
the Canadian boundary of Alaska with
power to collect customs duties and to
hold court-martials to try criminal
cases. ~ =

dary lines are in conflict as to 7.3 miles
OF territory along the Yukon river on
the east and west line. The disputed
territory embraces the mouth of Forty
Mile creek, through which access Is
had to the valuable placer mines ct
the headwaters of that stream. The
Canadian police, In carrying out their
instructions will doubtless assume
jurisdiction up to the linesof the Cana
dian survey, and several thousand
American miners who willsbe In. that
region will be subject to their author
ity. 2aae sie. 5.t J.s,!f g. ~ Is a.as
