THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY LINE
Continued from First Page,
IMPERIAL PRESSURE.

The Associated Press is re,iably in
formed that Canada S new position was
greatly influenced by imperial pressure,
and 1t can be stas.d definitely tnat Mr..
much as possible In order to gain Il
port Of entry free from United states
control, with the profcssed reason that
commercial advantages; would accrue
;therefrom. But It is said that the
Interior motive Is to increase British ma
val strength by making Pyramid har-
Dor a strong naYf BASE.
Regarding the probable action of the
United States II these altered condt-
items, British Official opinion is that the
United States. having been granted
SDyea and Skaguay cannot refuse to ac-
cept the identical form OF arbitration
they compelled England to take toward
Venezuela. This course Is contingent
J upon the United States deciding that
the old Berlng co,,ltry is more valuable
than Pyramid harbor.
PAST NEGOTIATIONS.
Washington, D. c., Oct PAT Is said
at the State Department that the pro-
position as to q permanent Alaskan
boundary, laid down by Sir Louis
Davies. is nothing more nor less than a
summary of claims heretofore pre-
ferred. When the commission was in
session, last spring and the Canadian
proposition was made to settle the
boundary question by arbitration, the
american commissioners replied with
an offer to accept arbitration with the
proyiso that no point occupied by
Americans for specified term of years
should be submitted to the arbitration.
In other words, the term was so fixed
by no possibility could the title to Ska
quay, Dyea or any other place that the
Americans had occupied n period rep
resented by the discovery of the klon-
dixie field be called into question by the
arbitration.
This was one OF the final propositions
rejected by the Canadian commissions
which caused the failure of the joint
conference.
Since that time there have been scve-
raj suggestions in the nature of COM
promises and included among these was
one like this embodied in Sir Louis
Davies proposition, namely: That the
United States should confirm the Cana
dian title to Pyramid TIarbor in return
for Canadian confirmation of the Amer
lean title to Skaguay and Dyea-
EFFECT OF PROPOSITION.
1t is not possible to accurately fore
cast the view that the State Depart
ment Will take of this last proposition,
but 1t may be proper to recall the fact
that in the opinion Of the department,
Canada has no more claim to Pyramid
Harbor than 1t has to Skaguay and
Dyea, and the British Government has
already been informed of that belief.
Therefore, 1t seems probable that Sir
Louis Davies proposition will not
materially advance a permanent settle
ment of the boundary question, and
that the two countries will continue to
act for some time to come under the
arranged by Secretary Hay and Mr..
Tower.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
OF GOLD HUNTERS FROM TIE
KLONDIKE.
(By Telegraph to Vlrglnian-Pllot.)

(By Telegraph to Virginian-Pllot.)
Seattle. Wash, October 24.-Aftcr a
voyage of rs days from Cape Nome.
during which two men died from star
walton and others were half crazed
from want Of food and water, the
schooner Hera arrived in port to-day
with nearly 200 passengers on board.
News of the wretched plight OF the
Hera's passengers was brought here
Sunday night by the steamer Lakmme.
The revenue cutter Grant and the tug
Sea Lion Immediately started after the
schooner. They succeeded in finding IL
yesterday about so miles off Cape
Flattery.
The two deaths reported are those Of
j. S. Ryan, who came on board 4 we'll
man, but through bad food became Ill
and owing to lack of attention grad
ually grew worse until he died on Oc-
tober 10th. The other case is much the
same. George Lamby, through want of
nourishment and confinement in i'll
ventilated quarters, was taken i'll with
typhoid fever and died on October 81.
While he was sick he had absolutely no
medical attention. Both men were bur-
led at sea
From the statements OF other passen-
gers it is learned that the agent OF the
snip ut Nome guaranteed them plenty
or good provisions on the way down.
They were charged $50 for their pas
sage. When they were a few days out
meat. sugar and butter ran out. The
menu consisted Of salt pork and canned
mutton. There was a little dried fruit
on board. but only enough TO supply the
table three times with dried peaches
and and twice with dried nrunes. From
that time on for nearly twenty-four
days their food consisted OF flour and
coffee. There was plenty OF flour, but
the water was short. -Four days ago
the last unpalatable salt horse was con-
sumed; Had 1t not been for transforms
which fell for q few days they would
have been without water also.
When the Hera anchored out in the
stream the majority of the men were
SO weak that they could not carry their
gold dust ashore without assistance.
Several passengers were craZed from
their terrible experience and had to be
carried ashore and taken care Of Even
taking their terrible voyage into con-
sideration the passengers unite In de-
claring Nome to be the greatest camp
on Garth and many OF them will re-
turn in the spring.

SITUATION AT KIMBERLEY.

Cape Town. Oct. 25.-A dispatch from
Kimberley. dated October 21st, and
brought by dispatch rider to the
Orange river. has just arrived here. 1t
says:
THE position in Kimberley is un-
changed. The siege continues. Yes
terday the nrmorcd train found the
enemy in the same position in the
Spy,fontein neighborhood.
THE prisoners who were captured
when the armored train was destroyed
by the Beers at Traalpan are now re,
ported alive and we'll treated. The
Beers hoisted the flag of the Transvaal
over Vryburg on October 18th. and are
about Issuing proclamation that
Buchuanaland now forms part of the
Transvanl. This Is regarded rs move
on the part OF the enemy to induce the
colonial Dutch to join the republic
without mourning the risk hereafter of
the charge OF high treason, If the Beers
are ultimately defeated.
Colonel Kekewich, on hearing of It,
Immediately issued a proclamation no.
tifying the people that il any British
subjects were found assisting Her
Ma5esty's enemies. either directly or in
directly such person would be punished
summarily as a base rebel. Several ar

FEATS OF DARING.

The dispatch riders, who are coming
down to the Orange river from KIM
Derley, are performing thrilling feats.
They ride through the Boer lines under
cover Of darkness and get to the
Orange river without taking any rest,
save for a change OF horses. The dis
lance is sixty miles.
one rider who got into Kimberley
last friday was chased seventeen miles
by Beers, narrowly escaping with his
llte: The same man returned safely
with dispatches to Orange river to-day
When he reached n point thirty miles
from Kimberley his horse fell and
kicked two Of his fingers against 81 rock
put despite this painful wound the gall
liant fellow made good journey here.
,,n ne reports that the Beers are three
miles from Kimberley, but are afraid to
attack the place and are awaiting the
arrival of Commandant Cronje. No
Beers are to be seen south Of Belmont,
which is twenty miles north Of the
Orange river. The defeats in Natal are
taking all the fight out of them and
they will not attack the British troops,
though they may defend u few posi-
tons. Indeed 1t Is believed here that
the heaviest fighting of the war is over
except for a battle near Pretoria.
A COSTLY FIGHT.
london. Oct. 25.-The combined forces
eet 111oS oiiittll, now iIIlOunIlHS 10 some
$4,000 men. will be amply sufficient to
act on the defensive. ~ few more vic
TONES like Glencoe and 1Glandslaagte,
however, would leave the British troops
without officers.
While the Beers have failed to take
advantage Of their strategic position,
owing to the incompetence or haste OF
their leaders, the British have no cause
for congratulations over the results of
the Natal operations. They have suf-
fered heavy losses In men, and their
victories have practically gone for
nothing, the whole Of Northern Natal
being now abandoned to the Beers.
1t would have been better to have
concentrated on Ladysmith in the first
instance, but General White and GEN
eral Symons had to yield to political
eNigencies and to the local reluctance
to abandon an inch OF territory more
than was necessary.
1t is not expected that the wounded
left at Dundee will suffer except in be-
ing prisoners of war.
The news of unrest in Basutoland
causes much anxiety.
