TROUBLE WITH GREAT BRITAIN.
over I<Iondfke Boun-
dnry Line Suggested.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Septem-
Der "A letter just received from John
u. Smith, United States Commissioners
at Dyea and Skaguay intimates that
government officials now on the way
to the Upper Yukon may by their Off
cial acts bring on serious international
complications with the Dominion Gov
ernment. He says: 1T is announced
here by q deputy United States mar
shall that the United States Government
is to make claim to a large portion OF
the Yukon goid-helds, which has here
tofore been supposed to be I'm British
territory. and that the territory which
is claimed as being within Alaska in
cludes Dawson City. The basis or the
claim is in the fact that the boundary
line has never been determined, and the
United States are claiming the territory
until the surveys have been made"
DUFFIELD SEES NO DANGER.
WASHINGTON, September 2-Gene-
raj Duffield. superintendent OF the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, who has
been prominently identified in determin-
ing the line between Alaska and the
British Northwest Territory is not I'M
pressed with the probability OF trouble
between tUlS government anu ''N"S
Britain over the location Of the klon-
dixie gold-felds. at is true" he said,
when shown the dispatch from Port
Townsend, that the location Of the line
between the two countries has not yet
been formally accepted but the loca-
ton has been very definitely deter
mined. The l41st meridian was design
ated a. the boundary between Russia
and Great Britain. and nothing remained
after our acceptance of that under
standing but 10 locate the meridian. The
location was made on the north at Por-
cupine river by our surveyors. We found
that when Ogilvie's line crossed Forty
Mile creek il was 10, Il. 100 of a Sc
cond. or 6 feet inches too far east,
and where 1t crossed the Yukon it was
Il seconds, or 6 is feet too far west.
Thus il may be seen that the line, as
located by Ogilvie, is substantially cor
rect.
There is no possibility OF an error,
the correction OF which could place the
new gold region I'm American territory.
At the nearest point Dawson City is
fifty miles from the Ogilvie line. III
the treaty now before the Senate. pro-
viding for fixing the boundary Is rati-
fed, a commission will be appointed to
perform this duty. II is more than
probable that the Ogilvie survey VIII
be accepted"
