OTTAWA, Ont, March 1.-The text
been known only As hours, and al
ready there are rumblings of discon-
tent. The treaty. as explained by Off
GERS of the Dominion land survey,
makes an important concession of ter
ritory to the United States. The Hist
meridian of west longitude is. by
treaty, the line of demarkation between
British and Alaskan territory in the
far Northwest of this continent
According to the surveys made joint
ly by the United States and Canadian
surveyors, under the charge of General
Duffield, chief of the Coast and Geo
detic Survey of the United States, and
w. F. King, the Dominion's astron
omer, the summit of Mount ST. Elias
lis 2.41 miles east of the 141st meridian
in Canadian territory. In place of
defining the boundary along the 141st
meridian the treaty provides that the
line shall be run due north from the
summit of Mount ST. Elias for 20 miles,
until it there strikes the 141St merid-
ian. 1t is contended here that in this
territory there may be untold wealth.
In the past when boundary questions
have arisen between the United States
and Canada the Dominion has general
ly come out second best, as, for in
stance, in regard to the boundary in
Maine and in the northwest angle of
the Neck of the Woods. The only rea-
son put forward for conceding this
strip of territory is that the summit of
Mount St Elias, as an initial point
from which to run the boundary, would
be more readily recognizable than a
row of mounds, pillars or monuments.
Parliament meets in three weeks,
and the grievance will be fully venci-
lated.

NO TRUTH IN IT.
Col. Little Says PaysOn Caldwell

In one of the evening papers OF Sat

Private Letter Contains State
ment of SpreckIesTille Troubles.
Charles Chillingsworth, of the Mar
shars office, received by yesterdays
mail letters containing information re-
garding the trouble. One statement is
to the effect that the Japanese of
Camp had difficulty with their in
terpreter regarding money for over
time during the month of February.
The amounts due ranged from 81 to
SIS per man, and had been overlooked
in the settlement. They requested him
to speak to the manager and ask for
"a settlement
For some reason the interpreter de-
clined to speak for them, and this an
gerede the men, and row ensued.
Sometime about midnight of the same
day Deputy Sheriff Scott received a
telephone message that a Japanese had
been found dead near the quarters, and
to send some one over to investigate.
The body proved to be that of the in
Iterpreter, and bore evidence of his hav-
ing been beaten to death. BY bit of
strategy, four Japanese were arrested
for the murder and lodged in the Jail
lat Wailuku.
An hour later a telephone message
was received to the effect that the
laborers. to the number of 800, had
left the camp on their way to the jail,
saying that they were the instigat-
ors, and were equally guilty with those
who had been arrested. They would
ask to be locked up, and if this re-
quest was denied they would break the
Jail open and release their companions.
On receipt of this message Deputy
Sheriffs Scott and Dow Immediately
ordered out the Citizens Guard, and
they, to the number of 100, surrounded
the building, prepared to resist any at
tack which might be made. From the
camp it was learned that in addition to
the 300 Japanese from Camp 3, rein
forcements would be gathered from
Waikapu and Wailuku.
y nile waiting for the arrival of the
Japanese, excitement ran high in Wal
lluku, and sleep for the citizens was an
limpossibility. Some parents sent their
children to Waikupu, so as to be out
of harms way in the event of fight,
ana the mOJ0efS Hdue COleS dHu pI c
pared lunch for the volunteers and
members of the Citizens Guard.
The Japanese, however, failed to ap-
pear on the scene, evidently having
heard of the preparations to meet
them Early on Friday a delegation
of 60 arrived and retained S. F. Chill
| Ilingsworth as their attorney. He adj
vised them to return to their planta-
| tion and go to work, allow the law to
take it's course and abide by the re-
result. A majority of the 800 Japanese
iacted upon this and returned to their
camp, but nearly 20 remained in Wal
luku and patrolled the main street OF

Commission Appointed by President
Selects san Pedro.

WASHINGTON. March 2.-The
board appointed by the President
some months ago to examine and de-
eide upon the location of a deep water
harbor for commerce at either San
Pedro or Santa Monica today made
it's report to the Secretary of War.
1t definitely locates the harbor at San
Pedro at an estimated cost of $2901,-
1877 Richard p. Morgan of the Com
mission did not sign the report, but
by the wording Of the law under
which the board acts the finding of
the majority of it's members is final
The report says that both harbors
are equally good, yet provisions had
already been made for the expendi-
ture of large sum of money at San
Pedro and that was the final selec-
zion. If the choice did fall to Port
Los Angeles, the present statute
would then authorize the improve
ment at San Pedro to the amount of
1892 900, and the same statute un-
qualifiedly directs the Secretary OF
War, at his discretion, to cause sur
veys and estimates to be made for
future improvements at the same To-
cation.
The Improvement contemplated is

2 100 feet from the shore and extend
