Port Townsend, Wash, Sept. 3.-A
letter just received from John u, Smith,
United States commissioner at Dyea
and Skaguay, intimates that govern
ment officials now on the way to the
upper Yukon may, by their official acts,
bring on serious international compli-
cations with the dominion government.
He says:
1T is announced here by a deputy
United States marshal that the United
States government is to make claim to
a large portion OF the Yukon gold fields,
which have heretofore been supposed to
be in British territory, and that the ter
ritory which is claimed as being with
in Alaska includes Dawson City. The
basis of the claim to be made by the
United States officials to the disputed
territory is in the fact that the boun-
dary line has never been determined
and the United States authorities are
claiming to possess information as to
the surveys made by the Canadian gov
ernment that fixes Dawson City and
a large portion Of the gold district with
in Alaska"

Pittsburg Miners VIII Resist Settlement
OH Any Other Basis.

Pittsburg, Sept. 3.-Everything was
quiet about the striking miners camp
in the De Armit region Thursday, the
campers having decided to take things
easy pending definite news from Colum-
bus in regard to the proposed settlement
of the strike. The sentiment OF the
whole camp seems to be to resist any
settlement except on an unqualified CO.
cent basis. The general talk among the
men shows no encouragement as yet.
On all sides was heard the opinion that
the operators are being hard pushed in
the matter Of holding contracts and get
ting into deeper straits every day.
The beard Of directors Of the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal company
met and authorized President w. p. De
Armit TO sign the uniformity agreement.
This is big step toward better cond-'
tions Of the coal trade after Jan. /.
Many large firms have been waiting on
De Armit, and will row attach their
signatures to the agreement. Even If
the miners lose the strike it is certain
now that uniformity will prevail and
higher wages will be paid, beginning
with the first Of the year.

sans Oulcefs.
Washir gton, Sept 3.-The United
States secret service bureau is strug-
Cling with an epidemic Of counterfeit5.
Hardly a day passes without the ar
rest Of from one to half a dozen persons
detected in passing spurious notes or
silver coin. II is evident that there is
large volume of counterfeit silver GER
titicates of last years Issue afioat and
that the circulation is continually being
diluted with that sort ofmaterial. When
these certificates were first put out the
expert engravers predicted that coun-
terfeiters would be tempted to resume
activities, and the result shows that
they were not wrong in their prophecy.
AS works Of art these certificates may
be very fine, but for purposes of money
they were shockingly deficient in many
OF the safeguards which the department
had provided against counterfeiting.
Government detectives have been in
structed to be on the watch for bogus
silver dollars, the tip having been given
the treasury department that a move
was being made in some mysterious and
unknown quarter for the minting Of
such dollars on a large scale, the coins
to have the same amount of silver as
the genuine and to be in exact simili-
tude of the coin bearing the stamp Of
the United States mints. Thus far the
department has not been able to locate
any of this Illicit product and it is not
believed any of the bogus dollars of that
sort are yet in circulation, but that is
no guaranty that the country may not
at any time be flooded with them. At
the present price of silver bullion there
is margin of go cents on every dollar
