Senator Stewart, of Nevada
WASHINGTON. March 16.-In the
executive session of the senate today
Senator Stewart (NeV) offered an
amendment to the Alaskan boundary
treaty which is in the nature of a sub
Stitute for the provision for ascertain
ing the meridian. It provides for the
survey of the whole boundary line but
fixes definitely the boundary as pro-
vided in the treaty of 1867 which is the
treaty of cesSiOn from Russia to the
United States. The boundary line in
that treaty is Incorporated in the
amendment of Senator Stewart, and if
carried is made a part of the treaty
Il is as follows:
Commencing from the southernmost part
of the island called Prince of Wales island,
which point lies in the parallel Of "a de-
grees, 40 minutes north latitude, and be-
tween the 1S1st and 1880 degrees Of west
longitude meridian of Greenwich the said
line shall ascend to the north along the chan
mel called Portland channel, far as the
point OF continent where it strikes the
Both degree of north latitude; from this last
mentioned point the line of demarcation shall
follow the summit of the mountains situated
parallel 10 the coast as far as the point of in
tersection of the 141st degree Of west longi-
tude (of the same meridian) and finally from
the said point Of intersection, the said meri-
dian line of the 141St degree in its Drolonga-
ton far as the frozen ocean.
With reference to the line of demarcation
laid down in the preceding article it is un-
deTstood:
First-That the island called Prince OF
Wales island shall belong wholly to Russia
(now by this cession to the United States).
Second That whenever the summit of the
mountains, which extend in a direction par
allel to the coast from the Goth degree of north
latitude to the point of intersection of the
1f1st degree of west longitude, shall prove tc
be at the distance of moro than ten marine
leagues DPtWCoU
the British possessions and the line of the
coast which is to belong to Russia as above
mentioned Chat is to say, the limit to the
possessions coded by this convention), shall
be formed by a line parallel to the winding Of
the coast, and which shall never exceed the
distance of ten marine leagues therefrom.
