1t ia announced that the commissioners
OF this country aud Canada 10 the arbi-
tration of tho Boring Sea claims, have
completed their work for the present
and will coon begin the preparation of
their reports to their respective govern.
ments. The Boring Sea claims, which
it was proposed TO settle for si25, 600,
by President Cleveland, have now az
gregated more than $500, 900. with in
tarest for ten years. That the amount
of indemnity to be paid by the United
States to Great Britain will be much
larger than was at first expected, is ap-
parent from the evidence already sub
mitted. While some of the claims will
be disallowed, the total is likely to be
nearly if not quite. l,0Oo 600, in case
the interest asked is allowed by the
commissioners.
1t is not possible to state, at this
time. what claims have been ruled out,
or whether or not it will bu necessary
TO refer any of the claims to the arbi
tration of third commissioner, to BIZ
appointed by the President of Switzer
land, in case such an appointment ii
found necessary. But il may be stated
in general way, that the conferences
OF the two comm sHioners have been o
the most satisfactory character, and ar,
likely to result in another victory fo
international arbitration.
The moral Of the situation is that i
would have been much better hal
President Cleveland been permitted t
settle the claims, as considerable none
would have been saved thereby. But
after all, the victory for arbitration j
worth all the extra expenditure in

FERROUS publications with reference to

forth with unmistakable plainness. 1t
asserts that Boggs took the bank 8
money to speculate in certain
stock, under assurances that it WAS a
'good thing but found it very bad
thing in the end, md finally had to fee
TO avoid the consequences of HE crime.
The Herald further asserts that for Two
or three campaigns the bank that
Boqgs looted was made the ''headquar
tiers OF Republication" That within
its doors contracts to buy votes were
made; over its counters the Doodle wac
paid and within its political sanctuns
bought men driIted in tho mornines

buy their manhood. Query: Who fur.

Herald adds:

Government Inspector of Hulls Bryan to
Investigate.
It will require an inquiry by the
government inspector of bulls, Capt
J. W. Bryan, to determine the facts OF
the wreckiug of the steamer Mexico at
the entrance OF Dixon's Sound. 1t is
stated with seeming authority that the
rock which was the cause of the Next
co.'s undoing was West Devil Rock,
and that il shows on the charts. The
first accounts of thedisaster are to the
effect that the rock was hidden be-
heath the waves and was not down on
the charts. Dixon's Sound is on the
inside route to Alaska and has been
considered An open highway. 1t was
stated on the authority Of DR.. Roswell
G. Anderson, passenger on the Mex
leo. that the steamers course was
changed 80 as to send her on the ont
side, in tine hope OF saving sixteen
hours on the trip. The change was
made by the captain as result OF
petition circulated by the Christian

who we're anxious to reach Seattle be-
fore the time limit of their return
tickets to the East had expired. PHO
