this committee that he proposes to ask
the court for an adjournment OF the
foreclosure sale of the Kansas Pacific

taken to free the administration from

'The reorganization committee has,
however, reached the conclusion that

resented by it, and of the syndicate
furnishing the funds to finance the re-
orUization. demand reorganization

pose any adjournment OF the

of the governments claim, the addl

ALASKAN BOUNDARY.

THE SOUTHEASTERN LINE QUESTION.
How Shall the Term "Ten Marine
Leagues" be Construed 9-Canada, OF
Course, Wants the Best of 1t,
and There's the Hitch.

WAsHrNGToN, Oct. 5.--It is believed |
here that in view of the great promi- |
nence Alaska has achieved owing to
the recent gold dssaoveries,s-nd the i'm
portance of definitely fixing the boun-
dary line between our territory and
that of the Dominion of Canada, that
the senate, when it assemblies in De-
cember. will take early action upon the
treaty pending between Great Britain
and the United States for the survey
and marking OF the 14lst meridian
This treaty was sent to the senate al
most two years ago.
The 141st meridian marks the east
ern boundary of Alaska down to With
in ten marine leagues OF the southern
coast. where the line trends to the
southeast, keeping that distance from
the coast. Concerning the 14lst me-
ridian there is, of corrse, no contro-
yersv between the United States
and Great Britain, but no basis or set
Element of the southeastern line has
vet been reached by the two coun-
tries. The original treaty as sent to
the senate, it is understood, was amend
ed, or proposed to be amended, by Sen
| ator Stewart, so as to include the settle
| ment of the dispute relating to the
| southeastern line. If such an amend
/ ment were insisted upon by the senate,
as appears not unlikely will be the
case. it is not at all certain that Great
| Rritaiu will at present agree to the
modification.
The work of adjusting the differ
ences between the two countries re-
garding the southeastern line has not
progressed for two years. In 1893 each
government appointed commissioner
to survey the territory through which
this line runs, and each made
topopraphical maps of the coantry,
which were submitted to the
respective governments on Decem
Der 81, 1895. The commissioners
however, had no power to propose
settlement, as their work was connneo
strictly to furnishing information up
on which subsequent negotlauon
could proceed. AS no range OF noun
tains runs along the coast, as was as
sumed to be the case when the bound
arv line between Russia and Can
ada was fixed in terms. the al
tentative proposition of lin
ten marine leagues from tn
coast must mark the limit of our terri
tory. But in the determination man.
; intricate questions are involved
whether the coast line shall be assume
TO follow the sinuosities of the shor
or run from headland to headlane
or whether the line shall be cor
sidered to run ten marine league
from the outer shore OF TN
e islands which form a sort of archipel;
:" go along the coast. The governmer
l. officials who have studied the questio
'e are confident that our little include

~ its sinuosities.

Terrific Northeast Storm Raging on the
Atlantic Coast.


CAPE MAY, n. j., Oct. 25.-Ihe
northeaster which prevailed along the
coast for five days developed in the
night into the worst storm which
has struck Cape May in ~
wears. The tides cover over
third of the territory of the town, and
surrounds the mammoth Stockton
hotel and all the section northeast OF
it. The wind reached a velocity of 40
miles an hour, and is still blowing
pale. The board walk is slightly dam
aged. Four miles of trolley on the
beach is entirely broken.
An unknown two-masted schooner
sailless. is at the mercy of the elements
two miles off shore.
Sightseers say that one vessel Went
down off shore about $50 a. m. This
statement can not be verified. Trains
over the South Jersey railroad can not
get across the meadow.
South Cape May is'also badly hooded
many cottage porches aud fences being
washed away. The train service to
all beach resorts is suspended. Tele-
phone service between the ite-savlng
stations is interrupted.

mand for the release of the prison
