who have taken the places of the strik-
ing iron workers at the Scottdale iron
works were going home, one of them,
said to be a man named Painter, be-
came incensed at the remarks of some
strikers and deliberately fired at them.
A large crowd was gathered about the
station at the time, and they started
after the non-union man. who fired five
shots into the crowd before he reached

union man, whose name could not be
learned, drew his revolver on Pitts
burg street and fired several shots. He
was knocked down and pretty badly
beaten before he could be reached by
the officers and taken to his boarding
house. The excited crowd is massed
about the station and the non-union
men are afraid to venture out.

con all maps from 1925 down to
1884. the boundary line had been shown
as in general terms parallel to the
winding of the coast and So miles
from it.
I'm 1884, however, one of the Can
adam maps showed marked defiec-
tion in this line at its south end. In
stead of passing up Portland channel,

dairy as passing up the Benin canal an
arm of the sea so or 20 miles west of
Portland channel, this change having
been made on the bare assertion that
the words Portland canal as in
serted, were erroneous. BY this change
an area of American territory was cut
equal in size to the state of Connecti-
cut, and transferred to the British ter
ritory. There are three facts which
go to show that this map was incor-
rect. In the first place the British ad-
miralty, when surveying the northern
limit of the British Columbian posses
sions in 1868, surveyed Portland canal
and not Benin canal, and thus by i'm
plication admitted this canal to be the
boundary line.
Second. the region now claimed by
British Columbia was at that time oc-
cupied as military post of the United
the part of British Columbia.
Third, Annette island, in this region,
was by act of congress four years ago
set apart as a reservation for the use
of the Metlaktala Indians, who sought
asylum under the American flag.
Another change was made at Lynn
canal, the northernmost extension OF
the Alexander archipelago, which runs
north of Juneau and is the outlet of the
Yukon trade. The official Canadian
map of 1884 carried the boundary line
around this canal; another Canadian
map. three years later. carried the line
across the head of the canal in such a
manner as to throw its headwaters into
this rich territory. Still later Can
adam maps carry the line, not across
the head of the canal, but across near
its mouth, some 20 miles south of the
former line, in such way as practic-
ally to take in Juneau, or at least all
overland Immediately back of it. And

ENGLAND'S ALASKA CLAIMS
HOGGED TERRITORY AS LARGE
AS CONNECTICUT.
A Preposterous Interpretation of the
Boundary Description-Will Cause
Diplomatic Complications.

New York, July 31.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: The
claim of Great Britain to a big share of
Alaska promises to occupy a large
amount of public attention for some
time to come, if indeed it does not be-
come vital question and give rise to
diplomatic complications between the
United states and England. The claim
is regarded by government officials here
as preposterous. The senate, when the
boundary question brought about a
treaty, negotiated by Secretary Olney
and Sir Julian Pauncefote, did not
place itself on record in the matter.
Before a vote was taken congress ad-
journed, so that the location of the di-
visional line which has been in dis
pute since 1884 is no nearer settlement
than it has been in any period in the
last 10 years. General Duffield. super
intendent of the coast and geodetic
commission. The survey authorized by
it has, until recently, been deemed Off
cial and correct by both countries Cen
eral Duffield said today:
up to 1884 both countries were prac-
tically united as to the boundary line
from Mount st. Elias TO the southeast.
According to the terms of the treaty
between Russia and Great Britain the
United States in purchasing Alaska in
1867 acquired all of Russia's rights. In
describing the southeastern boundary
the Russian. treaty read: The line of
demarcation between the possessions
of the high contracting parties upon
the coast OF the continent and the is
lands of America on the northwest
should be drawn in the following man
ner:
Commencing from the southeTmost
of the land called Prince of Wales is
land. which point lies in the parallel of
81 degrees 40 minutes north latitude and
between the 131st degree and the 133d
degree of west longitude. the same line
shall ascend to the north along the
channel called Portland channel as far
as the point of the continent where it
strikes the 56th degree Of north lati-
tude. From this last mentioned roins
the line of deTnarcation shall follow the
summit of the mountains situated par
allel TO the coast as far as the point Of
intersection Of the 141st degree of west
longitude of the same meridian. and
finally from the said point of intersec-
ton the said meridian lire of the 141st
degree in its prolongation as far as the
frozen ocean, shall form the limit be-
tween the Russian and British possess
sions on the continent of America to
the northwest. Wherever the summit
of the mountains, which extend in a
direction parallel to the coast from the
56th degree of north latitude to the
point of intersection of the Hist de-
gree of west longitude, shall prove TO

leagues from the ocean the limit be-

THE KLoNDYKE ROYALTY.
No Discrimination Against Men From
the United States.

Santa Rosa, CAL. July 3O.-United
States Circuit Judge w. W. Morrow. in
discussing the report that the Canadian
government would impose a heavy roy
atty upon miners going from this coun-
try to Klondyixe, said he did not be-
lieve the Canadian government would
discriminate against men from the
United States, or against any others.
Duties might be levied upon goods
taken in there, to provide the revenues
necessary for the expense of maintain
ing the government, which, ne says. is
very efficient, but he thinks that all
miners will be placed on the same foot
ing.
The judge had considerable expert
ence in the mines OF northern Oregon
at the time of the ricn strikes made in
Canyon City. He has also been as far
north in Alaska as Chflkat Pass and is
not disposed TO doubt the reports of the
great discoveries Of gold in Alaska and
British America.

THE SOCIAL DEnOCRACY.
Debs Says It Is a Party Within and
For Itself.

Chicago, July 30.-The New Time of
Monday will contain an article by Eu.
gene V. Debs, in which he says:
The social democracy is a great So
cial, economic and political organiza-
ton. 1t is at once national and inter
national. Politically speaking, it is a
party within and for itself and within
IL months its national representatives
will have formulated a, national plat
form. Similarly the various state rep
resentatives will have adopted state
platforms, and the municipal represent
atives local platforms.
by far the greater part of the criti-
cism has been directed against colony
control. and there are those who still
insist that this is all there is to the
movement, or, at least, that this is its
chief purpose.
ITO ali OF these, be it said that the
scheme is simply one OF the
features of the movement. and has
been assigned a special department,
known as the colonization depart
ment
There has never been any intention
to organize isolated colonies. and they
who have worked themselves up in de-
scribing the fate of other colonies and
predicators of calamity have been
wasting their time"
