DISPUTED
BOUNDARY.
Revival of Matter Brings
Out the Facts.
OUR CLAIMS SUSTAINED.
British Flag Planted Ten Miles Be-
y0nd Territorial Limit.
SPEAKER SUSTAINS HIMSELF.

Washington. March 5-The breaking
out anew of the controversy over the
boundary line between Alaska and Brit
ish Columbia created much interest
among officials Friday. and calls atten-
tion to the necessity for a final disposi-
tion of the boundary issue. While a
matter whose adjudication rests in the
jurisdiction of the state department, 1t
is pointed out here officially that the
maps and data prepared with the great
est care by the coast and geological sur
vey authorities sustain I'm every point the
position assumed by the United States
with respect To its domain.
There is, however. an important ques-
tion of construction of the terms of the
Anglo Russian treaty signed at ST.
Petersburg In February, 1926. upon which
our claims rest. This government fixes
upon salt water as the basis of defini-
tion of the oce' 4, whilerhe British dis
pute this and claim the islands as the
ocean shore, which would place the head
OF Lynn canal in British territory, Civ
ing them the several important points
like Dyea and Skaguay.
Attention is called TO the fact that
the treaty does not, as seems TO be be-
Leved, prescribe a strip 10 leagues wide
as American land, but ii does make the
boundary line the summit of the noun
tain range. provided that range does not
involve a width of over 10 leagues. Ac-
cording to the reckoning of the coast
survey authorities and the lines of de-
markation in their publication, the sum
NIT Of White pass. over which the Brit
ish flag is reported to have been planted
is 10 miles on the United States side of
the 10 leagues, or S0-mile boundary line
The Hist meridian cited in the treaty is
the Mount st. Elias line.
In this connection the specific terms of
the treaty between Great Britain and
Russia defining the boundary is a part
of the treaty between the United States
and Russia, and defines the boundary
of Alaska in the purchase of that coun-
try. the last portion of which is as fol-
lows: That whatever the summit of
the mountain which extends in direc-
tion parallel to the coast from the Seth
degree of north latitude to the point OF
intersection of the 141st degree of west
longitude shall prove TO be at the dis
tance Of more than 10 marine leagues
from the ocean, the limit between the
British possessions and the line OF coast
which is to belong TO Russia, as above
mentioned, shall be formed by a line
parallel to the windings of the coast and
which shall never exceed the distance of
ID marine leagues therefrom."

Acting Speaker Broke Tie on an Appeal

Washington March 5.-During the de-
bate on minor relief bill, Mr.. Handy
Dem., DELI, who was attempting to
contrast the promises made by President
Mckinley in his inaugural a year ago
with their fulfilment, was called to order
for not speaking to the question before
the committee. Mr.. Payne, who was in
the chair sustained the point Of order,
and an appeal was takes
Nn interesting parliamentary discus
sion followed, in which the effect of a
recent ruling of Speaker Reed on this
subject with its effect on debate in the
house. was contested. The Democrats
protested that the practice had always
been TO allow the widest latitude i'm COM
mittee of the whole, and Mr.. Mcmillan
declared that this and kindred rulings
marked the stadual decadence in the
right of speech in the house.
Mr.. Dingley the Republican floor
leader, in reply said that Mr.. Reeds
ruling had been misunderstood. He
drew clearly the distinction between the
house in committee of the whole con-
sidering nothing but a simple bill ap-
propriating money, and the house in
committee of the whole on the state OF
the Union considering appropriation or
revenue bills. In the latter case il had
