WANTS PART OF ALASKA.
EngIand's Contention I'm the Yukon
Region Boundary Dispute.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA. Carpenter,
who was formerly editor OF the Alaska
News, at Juneau, has just returned from
the north, and says that the people in the
territory are in a fever of excitement over
the boundary question. Mr.. Carpenter has
been in Alaska for two years, and is famil-
lar with the boundary question in all its
details. He stigmatizes the attempt OF the
Canadian surveying party to locate the
line according to their charts as a grab on
the part Of England. One Of the schemes
OF England. he says, besides the natural
greed for the gold OF the Yukon, is to es-
tablish a coaling station and a port OF en-
try on the Alaskan coast, so that she may
occupy a position Of vantage i'm the event
or an Oriental war or trouble between
Great Britain and Russia THE dispute I'm
a nutshell" he said, lis that Great Britain
holds, in accordance with the provisions OF
a treaty, that the boundary line is ten
marine leagues in the the interior from the
stead of from the coast line of the main
land. By the taking of the outer edge of
the island as the point from which the
boundary line parallels, England will try
to shut out Alaska from her harbors along
the mainland; in other words, to rob Alas
ka of the greater part Of southeastern Alas
ka. The American government has always
held as its Interpretation Of the Russo
English treaty that the line is ten marine
coast line Of the mainland. There never
would have been a dispute If England had
a port of entry by which she could reach
