ALASKAN BOUNDARY
FEELING IN WASHINGTON THAT 1T
SHOULD BE FIXED.

tion--Frn,inc and Fatal sickness
Threaten Kiondikc Miners.
Washington, oct. 26.--It is believed
here that in view of the great promi-
nence Alaska has achieved owing to
the recent gold discoveries and the i'm
portance of definitely fixing the boun-
Diary line between United states terri
tory and that of the Dominion of Can
ada that the Senate, when II assem-
bles in December, will take early action
upon the treaty pending between Great
Britain and the United states for the
survey and marking or the 141St merid-
ian. This treaty was sent to the SEN
ate almost two years ago.
The list meridian marks the eastern
boundary of Alaska down to Wlthn
ten marine leagues of the southern
| coast where the line trends to the
| southeast, keeping that distance from
| the coast. Concerning the Hist me-
rldian there is, of course, no contro-
| versy between the United states ana
| Great Britain, but no basis of settle
ment of the southeastern line has yet
| been reached by the two countries.
The original treaty as sent to the
Senate. 1t is understood, was amended
| or proposed to be amended, by Senator
Stewart so as to include the settlement
| of the dispute relating to the south
eastern line. If such an amendment
were insisted upon by the Senate, as
| appears not unlikely Will be the case,
It Is not at all certain that Great Brit
ain would at present agree TO the modi-
fication. The work of adjusting the
G.Iiculties between the two countries
y REGARDING the southeastern line has rot
progressed for two years. In 1893 each
Government appointed a commissioner
to survey the territory through which
t;ls line runs. and each made top0-
graphical maps of the country, which
we're submitted to the respective Gov
ernments Dec. 81, 1895. These COM
missloners, however, had 10 power ia
propose a settlement; their work was
confined strictly to furnishing infOr-
nation upon which subsequent neSo-
tiations could proceed. AS no range oi
riountains runs along the coast as was
assumed to be the case when the
boundary line between Russia anc
Canada was fixed. according 10 thl
terms the alternative proposition OF g
, line ten marine leagues from the coas
, must mark the limit of United States
territory. But in the determination
, many intricate questions are involved
whether the coast line shall be assume
. to follow the slnuosities of the shore
a or run from headland TO headland; o.
Z whether the line shall be considered t
run ten marine leagues to the interio
from the outer shore of the islands
which form a sort of archipelago aloni
the coast. The Government officials VIII
have studied the question are contiden
that our title includes the islands ant
ten marine leagues of territory from
= the coast line with all it's sinuosities.

THE DYNAMITE CASE.

The Knorr-Wintersteen dynamite
conspiracy case came to a sudden end
on Wednesday. The case was con-
tinued and the jury discharged. 1t is
the opinion of nearly every body that
the case will never again be called.
Judge Ermentrout granted the con-
tinuance on request of Attorney
Shields, of Philadelphia, chief counsel
for the defense, who stated that it was
impossible to procure some of their
witnesses. The motion was opposed
in such a weak way that it was appar-
ent that there was some understand
ing about the matter between the
counsel for both sides and the court.
We have been unable to obtain any
satisfactory information on the subject,
but our belief is that this county will
! never be put to the expense ofanother
trial. Wintersteen will never be tried,
and Knorr who has pleaded guilty,
will never be sentenced.
