THE ALASKAN GOLD MINES.

During the past summer there has
been a good deal in the papers about
England having seized the Alaskan
gold fields, that is, a very large part
of them. If they are on Canadian ter
ritory, her action was perfectly proper.
If they are on Alaskan territory, her
action was decidedly improper, and no
doubt she will be ready and willing to
make what amends this government
may ask Of her.
According to General Duffield, super
intendent of the coast and geodetic sur
vey, who has just returned from an
extensive trip along the northwest
coast, including Alaska, the Alaskan
gold fields belong to the United States.
In an interview on the subject, pub
lished in the Washington Star, Gen
eral Dufffeld says:
"All doubt caused by references to
mountain cha,ns' or ranges near tie
coast, along the Panhandle have
been disposed of, as it has been found
that there are only two groups of ele-
vations that can be even remotely con-
sidered as mountain chains, the one
being the Mount ST. Elias chain, and
the other the Treadwell chain. The
first is conceded to be on British soil,
while the latter cannot he brought into
the discussion with any dignity, as it
is simply a group of peaks. The de-
termination of the boundary line thus
resolves itself into the location of a
49,
and the determination of the line of
the 141st meridian of longitude
The maps prepared by the joint
commission named by this country and
Great Britain to explore the country
are now in the hands of the two gov
ernments, and I have just been in
formed negotiations are about COM
pleted looking to the selection of a joint
commission to strike the line between
the two countries from the maps sub
mitted. The commission named to pre-
pare the maps went into the field in
each case so divided that each Ameri-
can party had a British representa-
tive, while an American was present
in each British surveying party to look
after the interests of this country. AS
result, absolute fairness was secured.
and the photographed results can be
depended upon for accuracy.
I'm determining the 141st merid-
ian of longitude the notes of the
British surveyor, ogilvie. six years in
preparation, have been compared with
those of the American surveyors, and
have been found to vary so little that
no trouble will be found in striking a
compromise between the two lines. At
some points saese lines are only six
feet apart, while at the greatest diver
gence they are within 400 feet of each
other.

locating the great peak of Mount st.

THE YALE STUDENTS.

The Yale students who broke up the
meeting at New Haven which Mr.. Bry-
an was addressing, have brought deep
disgrace upon their alma mater. Mr..
Bryan, as the presidential candidate of
the Democratic party, was entitled to
respectful treatment, no matter how
much those who attended the meeting
at which he spoke may have dissented
from his views.
To the majority of people the misbe-
havior and Unconditional action of the
Yale students will seem to have more
significance than should be given them.
Any one who has ever seen a crowd of
college students on mischief bent, shout
ing their idiotic college yell, knows just
what kind of crowd it was that inter
rupted and finally broke up the meet
ing that Mr.. Bryan was addressing.
They are young men, hardly beyond the
age of adolescence. Usually they are
good fellows at heart with a superabun-
dance of big head. 1t was this super

Elias arises from the fact that it was
possible by the terms of the treaty to
locate it just over the line in the Brit
ish dominion, if Its location were de-
cided by the meridian, while the ten
leagues from the coast line bring it
just within the American possessions
This uncertainty arose from the june
ton of the meridian line with the other
line of boundary following the coast.
1t will, I think, be decided to consider
Mount St. Elias the terminal of the
land canal. although it is five minutes
east of the meridian, and thus in Brit
ism territory.
THE gold thus far found is all west
of the meridian line, and so far none
has been discovered in the possessions
of her British majesty. The placer
mining is all done along the headwa-
ters of Birch creek Forty-mile creek
and Sixty-mile creek. Birch creek is,
I judge from my observations, wholly
west of the lire. Forty-nile creek
crosses the line into British territory
before emptying into the Yukon, as do
also the western headwaters of Sixty
mile creek, but no gold has been found
in either stream on the British side
of the line, all operations being con
fined to the fields near the sources of
these creeks
This statement of General Duffield
makes it plain that there is small
chance for any dispute with England
over the Alaskan gold fields, which is
matter of congratulation to all

GENERAL F. A. WALKER PROTESTS

In many respects the present cam
paign has been exceedingly abusive.
We refer to the abuse which the gold
papers have heaped upon the friends of
silver. No name has been too vile, no
epithet too low, no abuse too bad for
the enemies of silver to use in their de-
nufciation of the silver men. This vii
l:fcation and abuse has brought forth
a protest from General Francis A.
Walker, himself a bimetallist, though
not am advocate of independent free
coinage. He writes from Boston, under
date Of September 10, to the New York
Evening Post as follows:
Sir: The fairness of the article COM
menting upon my recent letter to the
Evening Post, contained in your issue
of the 18th of September, may be gaug-
ed by your single assertion regarding
the forces which have resulted in set
ting the Bryanite movement agoing."
You say, General Walker would, it
would seem, fain believe that it is I'll
due to the bad manners of the mono
metallists." In my letter referred to, L
said, MANY causes have contributed
to the present ill-omened gathering Of
country" and as one of these, cited the
arrogance of the gold monometallist
press, the insolence with which bimel-
allists have been treated, and the abus-
i've epithets, among them idiots and
lunaticS," snowered upon millions of re-
spectacle, honest, intelligent, and pat
riotic American citizens. You now at
tribute to me the opinion that this last
is the sole cause of the effect.
This particular instance, though of
small consequence in itself, fairly rep
resents the manner in which the gold
monometallist propa ganda has been
carried on by the Evening Post. Since
1 wrote my letter of the 18th inst, pro-
testing against the abuse of bimetal-
lists, you have published an editorial
article in which the following precious
sentences occur: There is no doubt
that the complete mental soundness of
bimetallists has long been suspected
and discourteously questioned by some
of their opponents. We know of one
who says that every bimetallist he has
ever known had a far, vague look in
his eyes" Mr.. Editor, is not this a
pretty way of carrying on debate?
Of course this is a pretty way Of
carrying on a debate; in fact we might
say that it is carrying on debate &C
cording to the golden rule of the gold
men. 1t is a very proper way for the
anti-silver men to carry on debate. Hav-
ing no arguments to advance, and not
having the graciousness to acknowledge
the fact, they advance all they have-a
flood of billingsgate.

WHY MIR. HoLBRooK IS OPPOSED.

The Provo Enquirer, the leading Nc
Kinley newspaper of the state, is not
at all partial to Mr.. Holbrook, congress
sional candidate of the Silver Republic
cans. 1t says the laboring men have
ne love for him because he beat down
wages to ninety cents a day on the
power plant that is being constructed
in Provo canyon. 1t further says it does
not think Mr.. Holbrook a fit candidate,
aside from his small following; that
he has had no legislative experience,
but that of mayor of the small city of
Provo. and he lacks in such knowledge
as is essential on the part of a repre-
sentative in Congress. 1t declares the
Republicans must have a. man some
where equal in ability with Judge King
in order to make a successful race
simply be a walk-over for the Demo-
cratic candidate, with Mayor Holbrook
candidate.
1t then charges that the "bolters"
have violated their agreement, and that
the Ogden convention will in no sense
be obligated to respect the action at
Salt Lake.
AS to the charges that Mr.. Holbrook
beat down the wages of laboring men
I'VE know nothing. While we are of opin-
| ion that our Provo contemporary s
criticism that he is not fitted for Con-
gress is correct, still back of all this is
the very patent fact that the Enquirer S
opposition is mainly due to the fact
that there is "a niger in the woodpile."
The evidence on this point is complete.
Here it is: Assurances have been re-
ceived that Hon. John Henry Smith
will allow the use of his name before
the Ogden convention for congressional
candidate. He is still the Enquirer
nominee. Let all who favor him come
prepared to vote"
The outcome of the convention at
Ogden today will be awaited with in

abundance of big head that led them to
make such fools of themselves. Their
action was but the outward expression
Of the sentiments of that portion OF the
country in which they live, either per-
manently or temporarily. Reprehensi-
bic as their action was, it was not so
reprehensible as that of the band which
came up and added to the din and up
roar. No one will believe that the fac
ulty of Yale college would IN any way
countenance such proceedings.
We believe that Yale still insists upon
compulsory attendance at chapel ex-
ercises. She should also insist upon her
students behaving as prayerful little
boys are usually made to behave at
home.

MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT REGIS
TR.ATION.

We continue to hear complaints that
the work of registering the voters of
this city and county has neither
been thorough nor satisfactory
Thursday two of the registrars
were in attendance upon the Nc
Kinley convention at Mount Pleas
ant. They have no business absenting
themselves from this city during the
time that is designated by the statutes
for registering voters, They are paid
out of the public funds to do public
work, and not to be running around
attending political conventions
The conviction is growing that there
is something more than pure accident
in the neglect to register so many vot-
ers. We are fully aware that when vot-
ers are not registered they are very
quick to lay all the blame upon the
registrars when they themselves may
be as much or more to blame than those
whose duty it is to register them; but
when registrars, during the last regis
tration week, go away from the city
and county to attend political conven-
tons, people are justified in blaming
them with wilful neglect of duty and
voters who are not registered through
such neglect have just grounds of
/ complaint.
We know what the duty Of the
precinct committees in the prem
Uses is. 1t is to make thor
ough canvass of their precincts,
ascertain who are registered and who
are not, and make a complete list of
those who have not been registered
and then, on the 18Th and 18th of Oc-
tober, when the registrars must be at
their offices, see that those who nave
not been registered are registered. In
this way the very bad work of the reg
istrars can be rectified, but in no other.
