ENGLAND'S CLAIM UNJUST
Opinion of Missionary Duncan
on the Alaska Boundary
Dispute.
Russia's Jurisdiction Had Never
Been Questioned Before the
Sale Of the Territory.

SEATTLE, WASH, May 14.-At meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce to-day,
the following letter was read from Rev. w.
Duncan, the missionary who, on account
of British restrictions, removed his tribe of
Indians from Port Simpson, B. c., to
Annette Island, Alaska, which is part of
the territory involved in the boundary dis
pute:
"ON BOARD CITY OF TOPEKA, ALASKA
WATERS, MAY 3. 1895.
"Before leaving home for trip to Sitka
the explorer, asking me to write you any
particulars might happen to know re-
garding the question of the boundary be-
tween Alaska and British Columbia. Most
likely this little information have on the
subject is already known to you, but it can
do no harm to write what know.
"First-In 1857 was located at Fort
Simpson and was in constant daily inter-
course with the affairs OF the Hud-
son Bay Fur Company, which had a
monopoly of the country at that time
From this intercourse I learned that all
the country north of Portland Canal be-
longed to Russia, and for the privilege of
trading with the Indians from that point
and as far as Chilcat the company paid
rental to the Russian Government of 1000
otter skins each year. 1t is not at all
likely that company of such proportions
as the Hudson Bay Company would con-
sent to pay rent for territory of which
there was uncertainty as to ownership
That company would most assuredly be
well acquainted with the maps which as
signed the territory to Russia, or it would
have never made the agreement with Rus
sia which it did. Nor did those officers
during all the years l was in daily inter
course with them ever hint at doubt as
to the boundary from which Russian claims
started.
"Second-I have known law-breakers to
escape to Tongass from justice, being
while there out of the jurisdiction of Brit
ish Columbia.
stThird-When the United States pur-
chased Alaska corps of soldiers was
stationed at Tongass and continued there
for years in undisputed control.
'.Fourth-On my migrating with over
800 Indians from British Columbia. in
1887, we had to call at Fort Tongass and
give an account of our belongings. paid
the customs officers over $1,000 to bring nv
goods into Alaska. The customs authori-
ties resided at Tongass, just over the inlet
called Portland Canal"

Novel Methods Adopted by the
Young Journalist to Secure
Realistic Narratives.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May IA. The
young man who fell from the train at
River station near this city last night died
this morning. From papers found upon
his person it was learned that his name
was Alva Porter Moore and that he was
the son of Judge Moore of Santa Rosa. He
had a diary and some sketches supposed
to have been made for newspaper llustra-
tions.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, May 14-santa
Rosa was shocked to-day when the CALL
brought the news of fatal accident to
Alva Porter Moore, near Los Angeles.
Confirmation of the sad news came
speedily when Judge A. P. Moore re-
ceived telegram this morning announc-
ing the death of his son.
Young Moore left here about month
ago, for the purpose of gathering material
for an article on "Tramp Life in Cali
fornia." He set out on his travels with the
consent of his parents, and only few days
ago they received letter from him.
For some time Moore was one of the
editors of a weekly paper, the Cyclone,
and afterward of the Porcupine. He was.
young man of good habits, but fond Of
adventure, and had a great thirst for
knowledge. He has been in newspaper
work since he was 8 years of age. Two
years ago he stood highest among the
students of this county in a competitive
examination for a free ticket to the Worlds
Fair offered by San Francisco paper. He
had been on the road several weeks in the
guise of tramp while preparing the de-
scriptive article on tramp life for the
Home Journal. He had with him a
sketchbook, in which he drew many pic
lures of the odd characters and scenes he
encountered. From letters written to his
parents it was known that he was greatly
enjoying his experiences. The trip was to
have ended in few days.

Frightening Man to Death.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, May A.-In
the Superior Court to-day a motion for a
new trial in the Tischbein case was denied.
This finally disposes of suit which has
won considerable celebrity.
Appellant August Tischbein is the man
who, in March, made felonious entrance
to the house of an elderly saddler, H. c.
Tenant, at midnight. causing the latter's
death from an attack of heart disease,
superinduced by fright. Owing to certain
complications it was lmpracticable to urge
a charge of manslaughter, and Tischbein
was tried on a charge of disturbing the
peace. One jury disagreed, but a second
convicted him, and he was sentenced to
pay fine of $3.50, with the alte rnative of
150 days In the county jail, the severest
possible sentence. He will serve time.
