Yakutaf. At Sitka was Fremont
Morse of the coast survey. AT the Yu-
kon river Mr.. McGrath and party spent
two years at Camp Davidson, twenty
three miles below Forty Mile creek, OBJ
serving meridian transits of the moon
and OCCUPATIONS OF stars by che moon,
Tor longitude His observa tory being a
little distance off the Hist meridian, he
measured 90 that meridian and marked
it, Mr.. Ogilvie, on behalf of the Cana
dian government, also observed for the
longitude at another and independent
point, and Their measured to the 141st
meridian.
The latest information places the two
independents determinations of this me-
ridlnal boundary line within the width
or a San Francisco pavement. So there
cannot be the remotest possibility Of
any friction between the two govern
ments upon this question. We know
the strong and high character of Mr.
McGTath. and Mr.. Ogilvie has a repu-
tation of the highest character. The
only local dispute that could possibly
arise would be in the Forty Mile creek
district, because the boundary line
crosses sharp steep mountain ridges
$500 and 1900 feet elevation, an infe-
rior instrumental means might cause a
Slight doubt of the direction in some
case. However, no dispute has arisen
in the district, nor is it likely that any
Will occur. There is no doubt that the
line has been satisfactorily laid down
by Mr.. Ogilvie or some of his assist
ants.
In quitting the subject, the longitude
station of Mr.. Turner may be referred
20. After obtaining a series of salts
factory results he made topographic
al reconnaissance of the Porcupine TO its
mouth, distance of one hundred and
forty miles as the crow flies.
No one can speak with greater au
tslority on this subject than Professor
Davidson. Nor is it at all likely that
the United States will set up any
claims that are not well founded, or
that they will dispute lines of demarka
ton accurately and scientifically laid
down. There is small chance for any
dispute over the Alaska boundary line.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT UTAH.

The remarks of Rev. Dr. Mcmillan
on the number of missionaries the Nor
mon church has in the United States
and in Europe, and his further remarks
about polygamy in Utah, have caused
some little comment among different
newspapers. Thus the Kansas City
Star says: 1.-The discovery that this is
the state of the case will tear down
the structures of good will reared at
the late semi-centennial. The other
states are well united in the purpose
that there shall not be in this Union
a polygaaic state. There is no dispo-
sition, as a rule, to interfere with any
form of religion, but a religion must
stop this side of the practice of
polygamy just as it must draw the
line at horse stealing. 1t is to be hoped
that DR.. Mcmillan is mistaken"
There is no reason whatever TO tear
down the structure of good will erected
at the late semi-centennial. The people
of the state are not at all alarmed over
the questions that have so alarmed DR..
Mcmillan, not even those who fought
the Mormon church for so many years.
That there are Mormons who are con-
tinuing their old polygamous relations
is possible. but there are not MANY.
And nobody in Utah is worried over the
matter There is no more danger of
Utah becoming a polygamic state than
of New York or Massachusetts becom-
ing one. The day when that danger
was imminent has gone forever.
Utah's sister states have no cause to

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat, one
OF the strongest and shameless Re
publican papers in the country, says:
'.The fear expressed by some British
newspapers that the Republican party
will make a compromise with the sill
yer interests in its currency reform
scheme is absurd. The question of
granting favors or compromises to the
silver interests was involved in the
election last November, and was voted
down by an immense majority. No
body can tell just what shape the
monetary reform scheme will take but
it certainly will not take any shape
which will further dilute the currency
with Accent dollars. Favors of any
sort to silver are prohibited by last
years overwhelming popular protest
For the time being at any rate. and
perhaps for ali time. the silver issue is
dead"
