egg Along Alaskn's Boundary.
A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press from Port Townsend, Wash, says:
A party of miners from the head waters of
the Yukon river has arrived on the schooner
Mary Ruhne, from Unalaska and reports
that the Canadian government is establish
ing well-equipped Notifications on COM
manding bluffs overlooking the strategic
points on Forty-mile creek and elsewhere
along the supposed international boundary
line
A large company of Canadian military
police is busily engaged in exploring the
country for mountain passes both in Alaska
and in Canadian territory. The loop of
Forty-mile creek runs into British terri
tory, and to reach the most valuable mines
it is necessary for American miners to pass
through small portion of foreign terri
tory. The river is very narrow, and the
police have erected on overtowering cliffs
impenetrable fortresses which completely
guard travel on the river AT several other
points breaStworkS OF SubStantlally-bullt
stone have been erected.
On the whole the actions of the police
would indicate that preparations are be-
in, made to accommodate large squads
of militia at various points along the
boundary and particularly IN the vicinity
of the placer mines. However. the police
are very kind toward American miners,
rendering them every assistance possible,
favors and endeavor to allay suspicion or
unpleasant inquiries as to the objects of
such warlike preparations. In the entire
area of country in the British territory
small detachments attired in citizens
clothes have visited all important mining
camps, accommodating the surrounding
country What their object was they would
not state. On the British side are stationed
customs and judicial officers, and good
system of municipal government Is main

The miners bring the news that the
country last spring was flooded with fully
| a thousand inexperienced men, who rushed
| into the mines and were bitterly disappoint-
| ed and now they prophesy that before the
approaching winter Is over much suffering
| will be experienced. There is not enough

hundreds of miners became afflicted with

RAILWAY MAILS
STREET
The System is q Good One and is Here to
Stay.
Proposed improvements I'm Handling
Inbound Steamer Mails to
Save Time.

Charles Nelson, second assistant post
master general, submitted his annual re-
port today. The most important part of
the report is that referring to mail SER
vice on street railways. He says: The
experiments were tried first In ST. Louis,
next in Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago and New York. We have estab-
lished the fact that it is consistent, eco
nomical and almost necessary to establish
exactly the same three branches OF the
service under the improved methods of
street-car service that are already success
fully established on the steam roads,
1T Is hoped this service will increase so
that the regulation wagon service will be
almost eliminated, SO far as the mail sta
ton and suburban post office are concern
ed, with a possible future of supplying LETT
ter carriers direct from the cars, or an in
crease in sub-offices to such an extent as
to greatly improve the service. The total
expense, as near as it can now be estimate
ed, will be much less than the wagon SER
vice. The electric lines will double the SER
vice rendered by the wagons, with a very
slight increase over the present cost Of
wagon service"
Mr. Nelson recommends an appropriation
of 100000 for the street railway service.
He also recommends a law to authorize the
Postmaster General to adjust the compen-
sation to be paid the lines; also for street
railway postal cars and a method of oper-
dtlnS tnem he reports Improvement IN
the railway mail service during the year,
and recommends an increase in the number
of railway postal clerks.
All estimates in the report are increases
over the current year. OF the foreign mail
service Mr. Nelson says: "A further i'm
provement is being arranged for in con-
nection with the foreign mail service. We
hope to relieve the steamships of all in
bound mail at quarantine. and transport it
on special vessel, on which the pouches
will be sorted and then delivered at each
one of the docks at Jersey City. and do
away with rehandlng, as at present, with
a delay Of from twelve to twenty-four
hours"
Four new divisions of the railway mail
service are recommended,

Mr.: John D. Rockfeller's muniicent gift
of $3,OOO,O0G to the University of Chicago,
as announced Saturday, was almost the
sole topic of conversation yesterday at the
university.
The trustees were not prepared for the
gift, and accordingly had made no plans
for the outlay 0fasuch sum. DR.. Good
speed, secretary of the board of trustees,
said that nothing definite could now be
said concerning the matter. He thought
that a school of medicine and school OF
law might be the outcome of Mr.. Rookie
feller's latest endowment. assuming that all
of his conditions would be met by the
trustees of the university. There are other
uses to which the money might be put, in
Guiding the building of a Eew gymnasium,
a woman's dormitory, or a biological lab
cratory DR.. Goodspeed stated that in the
event of the establishment of a professional
school there would be no utilization with
any other school.

Make the Electric Cars Safe.
the Editor Of The Evening Star;

10 tne Editor OF The Evening Star.
There is one matter in connection with
the change of motive power on our tram
ways that demands immediate attention,
viz: More effective and safer brakes, es-
pec.ally on the electric lines.
On electric roads having steep grades, this
is of the utmost Importance. At Pittsburg
and various other places, numerous persons
have been killed and injured. and twice, re-
Gently, cars on our electric roads have
run away because Of defective brakes.
Now that the Metropolitan road is being
changed to the electric system, it is highly
important that this matter be attended to.
The grade on c street coming down Capitol
Hill is such that when the rails are wet,
and more especially when frosty or covered
with snow. there will be great danger OF
serious accidents. and this danger is great.
ly increased by the sharp curve at the Bal
timore and Ohio depot, where there is at all
times a large number of persons and teams.
1t is clearly the duty and for the interest
| of the company and the public to see that
the cars to be run on that line are equipped
with the most effective appliances known.
l am informed that an electric brake has
been devised. and now in use. which is even
more effective than the air brake, and that
| 1t is cheaper. / do not know what power
Athe Commissioners have in the premises,
but IL they have any, 1t seems to me that
they ought to exercise 1t now before me
cars are put on, and that it is clearly to the
interest of the company to investigate this
matter at once. IL they have not already
done so, in order to save future trouble and
expense.
One great advantage Of the new brake ia
| that it is a part of the electric equipment OF
| the car, operated by the motorman by
mere turn Of the crank. and is entirely fnde.
pendent Of the current which propeis the
| car, SO that II by any means the curIent
| from the station fails or is cut on. 1t does
not AFFECT the brake. and the faster the car
runs the stronger is the power applied 70
the brake.
| sole object Is to get the attention OF the
company, the authorities and the pupho
| to the existence Of this new means IoI

At dinner given the other night by the
Aldine Club of New York to Hall Caine that
gentleman said regarding the relations Be-
tween Canada and the United States:
1.-The relations between Canada and the
United States may sometimes be little
strained, but there seems, to an Englishman,
to he no sufficient reason why two great ra-
tions should not live in friendly rivalry en-
this great continent. / came here, SIT, py

your country from Canada looks angry ana
impossible enough. But dare say you have
noticed that in that watery horseshoe angie.
where the breach between the two countries
ia widest and widest, the sun can never
shine on the clouds of vapor which rise OUT
of those troubled waters without making a
beautiful rainbow, which bridges 'ahd 10

most troubled moment between Canada ana
the United States 1t only needs the suns hins
of good faith and good fellowship to bridge
over the differences between you.'

1t is not only the excise question which

prove less beneficial to them than they ex-

that they would not otherwise have got.
The thing that may help them most Is the
amount Of dissatisfaction and moping on
the other side. There were republicans az

them practically all to come back to their
old party love would insure success The
reports of the local democratic workers
