ALASKA BOUNDARY FIXED.
Temporary Adjustmento of vexed Ones
tion Is Now Made.

y
tion Is Now Made.
The long-expected mOdus yivendi rela-
tive to the vexed Alaska boundary Ques-
ton went into effect Friday. This re-
suit was brought about through the direct
negotiation of Secretary of State Hay
and Mr.. Tower, the British charge, after
several failures in the past through COM
missioners and ambassadors. The State
Department is confident that it has con-
served every American interest in the
arrangement, without unjustiy treating
Canada.
The divisional line on the west pass by
which the Dalton trail is reached is plac-
ed twenty-five and one-fourth miles
above Pyramid harbor. which is regarded
under the treaty as tidewater mark. SO
the Canadians are not allowed to reach
any point on the Lynn canal. Moreover,
there is no permission given for free
port, or even for the transfer across
american territory OF Canadian goods,
except miners belongings. These mat,
tiers may figure later on when it comes TO
a permanent boundary line. but they are
not touched upon in this modus.

ESTIMATE OF YEARS WHEAT.
Reduction of 327 ,OOO, O,OOOBusheIs from
Last Years. WOrlu,s Crop

Last 1ear'S worlds Crop
In a bulletin issued by the Agricultural
Department a careful analysis is given of
the wheat crop of the world for 1899
based upon the estimates of recognized
conservative authorities. The production
was estimated by the Department of Ag-
riculture in 1898 at 2,907, zoo, 900 bushels.
Beerbohm estimates the production the
last season at 2,445 100000 bushels, the
Bulletin des Halles at oslo, 100000 and
the Hungarian minister of agriculture at
from 2, ,453, ,OG0, 600 to 2,477 900 900 bush
els.
In carefully tabulated statement it is
shown that these estimates do not cover
the same field; that some of them include
countries omitted by others. Setting
aside minor differences and taking the
countries which are included in all four
of the estimates the following result is
obtained: Estimate of Department of Ag-
riculture, 1898, 2,79S, ,000,O 900 bushels; es-
innate Beerbohm's Corn-Trade List.
1899, 2,393, ,000,O COO bushels; estimate Bull
lctin des Halles, 1899, 2.4S9, ,000, 900 BUSH
els: estimate Hungarian ministry, 1899,
2,453, ,0OO,O00 to 2,477, 100000.
1t has already been seen by the report
of the Agricultural Department that sup
plementing the estimates for 1899 by the
additions for omitted countries which are
included in the estimate of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for 1898 and then
comparing the latter with the mean of
the three estimates as so modified, we
get 32T 100000 bushels as the quantity
by which this years wheat crop falls be-
low that of last year. On the whole a
reduction of more than 100000, 600 BUSH
els is pretty safely inferred, and it would
seem that during the current crop year
the farmer stould obtain satisfactory
prices for his wheat.

Telegraphic adyices received in Chicago

A Fair Prospect of It's Early Ad-

Danver, Colo. June 9.-The ucion recently organized by the employees of the smelters has been recognized by the American Smelling & Rsfning company and prospects for a peacs- able settlement of the question aris- tng under the new eight-hour law are greatly improved. A conference has been held between a committee from the union and MT James R. Grant, chairman of the advisory board of the company. The commit tee announced that the employees would demand an eight-hour day and the same wages for eight hours as they have been receiving for from ten to twelve hours. MT. Grant replied that the company would pay the scale of wages of 1893, an increase of ten per cent, and the men to be paid by the hour, instead of the day and have the option of working more than eight hours. The committee agreed to submit the companys proposition to the union.
 It is understood that if no amicab1e adjustment IS made the question WILL be taken before the state board of ar- b:tration.
