Bile to this country. 1t is reported that
should the commissioners elect 10 start
the line from the summit of the noun
tain, the United States would gain an
area of thirteen square miles in extent.
1t is certainly time the Government at
Washington should show more interest in
Alaskan affairs. The Territory may yet
prove to b. far richer even than the most
sanguine expect. Every exploration re-
veals new natural resources of great ex-
tent, and it is believed that nothing is
needed except better communication and
better government TO bring about rapid
development of the wealth of the country.
The American settlers in Alaska have
asked for Representative in Congress in
order that their interests may be more
fully guarded at the National capital, and
despite The smallness of the American
population of the Territory. the claim for
such a Representative seems to be well
founded. The whole Pacific Coast ought
to act together in supporting this petition
of the Alaskans for it cannot be doubted
that the advancement of that Territory
would materially benefit all the States on
this side of the continent.

COMPASS CORRECTION.

The March number of Notice to Mar.
liners" issued by the Unitei States Coast
and Geodetic Survey announces that "it
is proposed TO ascertain the true and mag.
netic bearings of natural and permanent
ranges wherever possible in the harbors
and along the coasts Of the United States
with visw to their use by mariners to
check the compensation of their COM
passes and also the table of residual dew.
ations." 1t is further announced that 'as
it is believed this work will be OF great
benefit to all classes of seamen their CO.
operation is invited"
Last February through an interview
with Alfred McNevin THE CALL directed
attention to the Importance OF establish.
ing the proposed transit marks on this
coast from Puget Sound to San Diego. It
was pointed out that many, if not most, of
the shipwrecks on this coast are due to
variations of the compass by which sail
ing masters are misled. When the COM
pass Is out OF order the ship is in danger
as soon as she approaches the coast line.
and 1t is imperative to the safety of ship
ping that some means should be devised
by which shipmasters could determine the
accuracy OF their compasses and the ex.
tent of the variations by which they may
be affected.
1t is to accomplish this that the pro.
posed survey OF the true and magnetic
bearings Of permanent landmarks along
the coast Is to be made. When these have
been marked the shipmaster can adjust
his compass by them and thereafter di-
rect his course with certainty and safety.
The Cham Der of Commerce In this Citv
has begun a movement to have a compass
swinging station esta tablished at this port.
This of course will further the good work
and help to rid our sailors OF the dangers
resulting from, detective com passes.
The CALL is gratified by the prospect
OF the accom- plishinent of this improve
ment in navigation, to the need of which
it called attention. The one daty of all
concerned is now 10 hasten the esta ish-
ment Of the marks as rapidly as possible.
The notice issued by the Coast and Geo.
detic Survey says: at is desired that
mariners will send to this office the loca-
ton of any and all ranges with names
and description of objects which they
think will be suitable for the purpose.
These will be examined, and those Sc.
lected will have their positions determined
as soon as opportunity offers" The mar
liners OF the coast should promptly re-
spond to this invitation. This danger TO
ourshipping should be removed as quickly
as human energy can DO it.

RUSSIA COLLECi ING GOLD.
Philsdelphia IpouIrer.

II any Minister in Europe can regard with
equanfmity the gathering war clouds it is the
Russian Minister OF Finance. The policy OF
the Cars Government in regard to its treas
ury has been the wonder of Europe for years
For nearly q decade it has been drawing to
St. Petersburg the gold of the world, retaining
not only the immense annual production of
the empire, but meking periodical drafts
upon its bankers in Berlin, Paris and Lon don,
until now the Imperial Bank OF Russia holds
the largest stock OF gold that is collected any
where in the world. In the last few years the
boarding process has been pushed with energy,
and in the last twelvemonth no less than
$4,000 900 gold has been added TO the al.
ready immense stock. In the face of the stag
eering total ot 1864 OO0, 900 held at st. Pete rs
burg the $3.50, ,00O.O 600 owned by the United
states Government and the 5000, ,00O, 600 held
by the Bank of England seem small. and the
$3S3,OOo,O 900 held by the Bank OF France ap-
pears merely respectable.
European economists have long specula ted
as 10 the reasons that prompted the Russian
Government to accumulate such an immense
sum OF gold. which has been suffered to lie
absolutely idle In the vaults of the St Pele.s.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY,

Reports from Washin gton of yesterday
announce that tho alleged discovery of q
clause in the treaty with Great Britain for
establishing the Alaskan boundary which
would virtually surrender the American
claim has proved to be only a mares nest.
The clause in question, which makes
Mount St. Elias the starting point OF the
boundary line, does not affect the issue of
the line down to Dixon entrance, which
is to determine the width of our strip OF
coast land, but is to serve only for the
purpose of starting point for the boun-
dary which runs through the gold dis
tricts of Alaska.
The boundary in the gold districts is
not matter of international dispute. Ii
is fixed by treaty at the 141st meridian of
longitude. 1t has not been thoroughly
surveyed. however. and as a meridian is
not visible line the settlers of the dis
trict do not know where 1t is. It is the
intention OF the Government now to send
survey to Alaska providing for the loca-
ton and marking by permanent monu.
ments OF the boundary line north of
Mount 81. Elias so that the gold miners
and other settlers will know where our
jurisdiction ends and that of Canada
begins.
The boundary line which Is in dispute is
fully 500 miles away from the gold fields.
1t will require gocd deal of diplomacy to
settle that point to the satisfaction of both
nations, but as no important interests are
at present At stake in that part of the
country, there is no particular need for
hurry in the work. The selection of
Mount st. Elias as starting point for the
boundary, SO far from injuring us, is
said to be one tLar on the whole is faYora.

Buena Vista Parlor of the Native Daugh-
tors OF tho Golden West Gives an
Anniversary Ball.

Anniversary Ball.
Last Tuesday Buena Vista Parlor, Native
Daughters of the Golden West, was five years
ole, and 1t celebrated the event by grand
ball in Native Sons Hall. AS this parlor is
noted for giving entertainments that are of
the hig hest order there is not one of its fupc.
tIons that has not in the past been attended
by its friends, that number legion, and the
hall is always filled to its capacity On the
evening OF the wooden anniversary, the hall
which had been most tasteiully decorated
with the colors of the order and a stage set
ting appropriate to the season, lilies and ever
greens, had every seat In the gallery occupied
while on the floor there were as many couples
as could find room to Indulge in the fasei-
mating mazes of the waltz and other dances
The toilets of many OF the ladies were most
exquisite, and added much to the briIl!ancy
of the scene as the throng moved in the glow
OF the 1ncande scent lights.
The grand march was led by Past President
Miss Anna Hahn and President Miss Annie
Westhouse, and they were followed by more
than hundred couples. The souyen IRIS OF
the occasion were the dance programmes
printed on thin oblong sheets of white cedar
and tied with small bow of Nile green baby
rbbon in such a manner that the leaves eonld
oe separated and formed in the shape of a ian
ana used as such. 1t was novel idea and il
was useful as we'll as pretty.
Inc ladies' OF the parlor have reason to
1eel proud OF the function they gave and
much OF the credit of its success is due to the
