BOUNDARY OF ALASKA.
England After 100000 Acres Held
by This Country.

Montreal Jan. 29.-The Stars special
London cable says: Lord Salisbury and
Right Hon. Mr.. Chamberlain have been
considering the results of the inquiries
into the records here made on behalf Of
British Columbia, which show that the
United States has no right under the An
glo-Russian treaty of 1925 to 100000 acres
of land opposite Prince of Wales Island
on the Pacific coast, which is of high
strategic commercial value and which the
United States has usurped since buying
Alaska. The records of the dispatches
of Bagot to Lord Canning show that
Clarence strait and not Portland inlet is
the correct boundary. 1t is suggested that
the Canadian members of the Alaskan
boundary commission have been misled
into assuming the correctness of the
United States assumptions"

CONFEDERATE TETERANs.-Generai
Peyton A. Wise, chairman of the COM
mittee of arrangements for the reunion
of United Confederate Veterans in
Richmond this summer, submitted q re-
port to the executive committee yester-
day evening.
The committee declined to adopt the
report because of structures upon Com
mander Ivan Walker contained there
in, and General Wise became indignant
and threatened to throw up the posi-
ton entirely. The Objectionable clause
was to the effect that Commander
Walkers seton in regard to the parade
was a denial of the sentiments he pre-
viously expressed in favor of q reunited
country.
While the members of the committee
agreed with him personally they stated
that they thought it ine1pedient and
out of place as the voice of the COM
mittee, as it wonld unnecessarily stir
up sectional strife, and the report was
laid over until the next meeting.
