WASHINGTON. Oct 2e.--It Is boz
lioved here 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 bound
airy line between our territory and that
Of the Dominion Of Canada. that the
senate, when It assemblies In Deoem-
ber, win take action upon the treaty
pending between Great Britain and the
United States for the survey and mark
ing Of the southeastern boundary This
treaty was sent to the senate almost
two years ago. The settling Of tho diff
culties between the two countries re-
garding the southeastern line has not
progressed since then. In 1893 zach
government appointed a commissioner
TO survey the territory through which
this limo runs. and each made topo-
graphical maps of the country. which
were submitted to the respective gov
ernments.
These commissioners. however. had
no power TO propose a settlement. Their
work was confined strictly to furnish
ing Information upon which subsequent
negotiations could proceed.

Railway Magnate Defendant
In a Large Action.
An ALLEGED S2,OOO,OOO SWIyDLE.
Charles Austin Bates Claims That He Has
Been Defrauded OF This Sum and
Accuses the Wen Known
Banking Firm.

NEW YORK, oct. 26--Accordlng to
summons and complaint nled IN the
county clerks office, Charles Austin
Bates claims he has been swindled out
OF 81 000O 600 worth Of stock Of the Cen
eral Electric Railway company Of Chi
cago, and he names J. Pierpont Nor
gan, the latters son and other mem
bers Of the firm of j. Pierpont Morgan
& Co as defendants in the suit to re-
cover it, the other defendants being Lu-
cus Clark. 4. G. Wheeler and Perry A.
Hull Of Chicago.
Bates alleges that the General Elec-
trie Railway company was organized,
with a capital OF S5.0OO000 In shares
valued at S100 each, for the purpose Of
operating an electric railway in Chi
cago and that In November, 1895, he
purchased 10000 shares Of the stock,
which. he says, was not then In course
OF construction but its stock, he de-
clares, was and Is now very valuable,
although Il then had no market value.
