GOSSIP AND NEWS OF BERLIN,
REMARK OF THE EMPEROR GRE
ATEs A SENSATION.
Report That Emperor William Has
Proposed O Plan of Concerted Ac-
ton Against Anarchists is Con-
frmed.

Berlin, Aug 21.-At the banquet at
Wilhelmshoe, in honor Of the birthday
Of Emperor Francis Joseph, a remark
of Emperor William to General Win
deschgraets, the Austrian military at
tache, created a sensation Lifting his
glass his majesty said:
Il trust that all misunderstanding
are now buried"
This is generally interpreted as re-
,ferring to recent events, and to Aus
trian jealousy created thereby.
During the presence of the king of
Italy at the German military maneu-
yres a symbolical play, written accord
ing to the instructions, and On an out
line furnished by Emperor William,
will be performed at the Royal thea
tire of Weisbaden. The play will ale
gorically represent the determination of
italy and Germany. The two leading
roles, are Italia and Germania, and the
scenic decorations, which are gorgeous,
are the work of the Viennese painters,
Kautzky and Rottenara, from sugges-
tions made by the German emperor.
The most beautiful tableaux will rep
resent Rome. In this scene the en-
peror found it desirable to make an
altera ton. In the original the sun was
seen rising in the city over St. Peters S,
the rays radiating the whole vicinity
and leaving the quirinal, or royal res
idence, in the shadow. ! In view of the
strained relations between the vati-
can and the quirinal, his majesty or
dered the sun in this scene to be OBJ
liberated ~
Emperor William WILL attend the
Austrian military maneusTes, arriving
at Totis on Sept u, and remaining
there until Sept. Is. Then Emperor
William ard Emperor Francis Joseph
will proceed to Nohacz to hunt stays
and wild boars on the preserves of the
Archduke Frederick of Austria.
On Sept. 20 the two emperors will
proceed to Budapest.
The Associated Press correspondent
learns that it is true that Emperor
William has proposed new plan OF
concerted action on the part of the
continental powers against anarchists
and that he has obtained the promise
of cooperation. from majority OF
them. The plan includes uniform
system of watching all those who are
known to hold destructive ideas, more
effective interchange of observation ano
better system of identification.

today rendered his decision in the suit
of the City of Richfield VS.. Burchard &
Lauritzen, which involved the right to

obtained by digging on their firm land
above Riehfeld. The decision was not
lengthy. but his honor briefly reviewed
the evidence and what II proved. In
one place regarding the city stream
and the firms stream being connected,
there had been a conflict of testimony.
but the court had placed an obstruc-
ton i'm the city stream and forced
double the water out of the FIRMS
spring This, with the facts as pre-
viously published in The Herald had
been proved, and the city was given a
decree for the water. and the defend
ants were permanently enjoined from
further prosecuting their work. The
city was awarded no damages. The
defense was given so days to prepare
statement for appeal, in case one is
taken.

Seattle, Wash. Aug. 21-The steamer
George &. Starr arrived at her dock,
this morning, shortly after 10 o'clock,
from Dyea and Skaguay, and was met
by a great crowd of people, it having
been reported that several men from
Klondike, having made their way to
salt water overland, were on board.
This report proved true, but the inter
est centered in the appearance of one
passenger. Edward Thorp. who was
expected to come down on the Port
land. and who is reported to have
somewhere in the nejghborhood of $780,
00e in Klondike gold in his possession.
Thorp and his companions talk, but 1t
is impossible to get anything definite
from them. Willis Thorp, the father
Of Edward Thorp, received a letter a
few days ago on the Alki from his
son, saying that he had $3.50, 900 in gold
at least That is what Willis Thorp
is alleged to have told his friends, but
now Thorp and his three companions
on the Starr unite only on one point
in telling their story, and that is that
they have $4,000 between them.

LITTLE IF ANY CHANGE.
General Duffeld's Idea of the Alas
kan Boundary.

Washington. Aug. 21.-In speaking of
the boundary line between Alaska and
the British possessions today. General
Duffield. of the coast and geodetic sur
vex. said:
= do not believe that when the mat
ter of the boundary line between the
two countries is definitely settled. there
will be any appreciable change from
what is down on the map. There GER
tainly will not be as far as the Klon-
dixie region. which is, beyond all man
ner of dispute. in the British northwest
territory.
Dawson City is 100 miles or more
east of the 14rth meridian, which is the
boundary line.
Mount St. Elias is near the intersec-
ton of the ten marine league line with
the 141st meridian. To be exact the sum-
nit is lao degrees and 80 minutes, or
five minutes on the Canadian side,
which, in that latitude, represents two
and a half miles. But on the southern
side it is only 2Sl5 miles from the coast,
which brings it inside Of the ten league
line. or 80 mile limit and one and a half
miles on American soil.
AT Forty Mile creek our survey agrees
with that of the Canadian survey I'M
der General Ogilvie. within 1.400ths of
a second. which. in that latitude. repre-
SCENTS six and half feet.
The Canadian line steals the six and
a half got from us. Crossing the Yukon
river. the difference in the two surveys
is Il seconds. which, in that latitude,
represents 300 feet. According 10 the
line of Ogilvie. the Canadian govern
ment surveyor, we gain 800 feet on the
British side and we are anxious to
compare the two lines az the Porcupine
river crossing. which is several hundred
miles further north. but the Canadian
government have given US no notice of
where tfleU have fixed their line. l DO
not suppose that the difference will
be worthy of note
General Duffield added that if there
is any dispute between the two coun-
tries over the boundary line. it viii be
in regard To the ten league coast line
in the southern portion of Alaska. as
there is question which admits of con-
siderable diversity ,f opinion.
