Washington, Feb. 1.-Secretary Olney

Saturday signed the convention for the
definition by commission of so much OF
the boundary line between Alaska and
the British possessions as is marked by
the 141st meridian. The treaty will be

Of the 141st meridian, west longitude, as
NAV be necessary for the determination
of the boundary between their respec-
tive possessions in North America" Its

prevent the clashing between the min
ers who have been attracted in large
numbers to the vicinity Of the bound
ary. and the local officials of the two
countries.

565, ,OoO. 600 feet as compared with the

AHLwARoT GOES HOME.
The jew Batter Pleased with the Immi-

New York, Feb. 1.-Herr Ahlwardt'
member of the German reichstag and
leading Jew batter. who has been In
this country for some time on the self
imposed mission to organize crusade
against the Hebrews in America, sailed
for home Friday forenoon. Before
stepping on the steamer, he was asked
in reference to the result OF his mis-
sion to the United States, but declined
to answer. He expressed himself, now
ever, as being delighted with the pas
sage of the new immigration bill, which,
he said, would prevent at least the
Russian Jews from coming to this coun-
try, since they spoke but a mere jar
gon and would not be able to read the
constitution in either the Russian or
any other recognized language. rms
much, he thinks. his mission to this
country has at least accomplished. Ahi-
wardt is much wanted by his family
whom he left in destitute circumstances
His wife recently tried TO sell his corre-
spondence with leading Jew baiters TO
| the highest bidder and this knowledge
undoubtedly has fastened his return
TO Germany.

Kansas City, Feb. 1.-Ex-Sergeant of
Police Walter Whitsit made the first
specific charge of police corruption be-

that Charles Cole, a cigar dealer, told
him that he (Cole) paid certain police
detectives $40 month each to be let

received letters requesting them to call
at the office of Marcy X. Brown, where
they were asked to work for the Brown
faction in choosing delegates to the
state convention. Brown is a leader OF
one of the local Democratic factions,
and this statement caused stir. A
moment later Whitsit caused another
sensation when he said, In answer TO

told by Marcy Brown that IL he would
put up $50 he would be given a position
