INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY.

Debatable Territory Between Lake SUI
perior and Lake Of the Woods.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Congressman
Towne has been giving some considera-
ton to the question Of the international
boundary from Lake Superior to the
Lake Of the Woods. The boundary
has never been very we'll defined, and
the necessity for some definite line Of
demarcation was emphasized last sum-
mer when Canadian officers arrested
some of the employees of the American
company fishing on Arion lake, which
appears to be in debatable territory.
The traditions say hat the line was
once surveyed by a joint surveying
commission, but their field notes were
bnrned before they were ever officially re-
corded, and since then nothing has been
done in regard to the matter. The
necessity for a definite line is increas-
ing, a the country on both sides of
what Is supposed to be the boundary is
filling up with settlers. Mr.. Towne
will in a few days introduce a resolu.
ton calling on the secretary of state for
information as to whether there is any
record i'll the archives of the state de-
partment of an attempt to definitely
mark the line laid down in general
terms in the Webster Ashburton treaty,
and If not. what steps should be taken
to arrive at the true boundary.

The story of DR., Jamleson's march

The story of DR.. Jamleson's march to
the assistance of his countrymen at Jo-
hannesberg, in the Transvaal, as given
in yesterdays news columns, is one of
those incidents of English yalor that ii
lumlne the pages of English history all
down through the ages. 1t will rank in
bravery with that of Lucknow or Bula-
wayo. 1t was rash, ll-advisei, and con-
trary to the avs Of nations, but none
the less valorous. A long march of two
days without food, beset by well-mount-
ed, well-armed, skilled marksmen, six
times their Eumb-r, they unanswered,
fought till ammunition failed. aud fell al
most within sight Of their destination
and friends. Had the latter come up to
the understanding by which the former
undertook the march, an INVASION, a de-
feat, a rebellion. would have been turned
into victory and probably successful
revolution. 1t was Il heroic act in be-
half OF what he supposed "a struggle for
liberty; but proves tragic bravery M an
unrighteous cause.
