A WATER CONVENTION.
To be Called to Meet in the Near
Future.

SAN FRANCISCO, June AT a
meeting of the Mechanics Institute last
evening a communication was received
from I. w. Hellman, E. B. Pond, Geo.
Davidson, Horace Davis, F. w Dohr-
mann, Hugh Craig, w H. Mills, James
D. Phelan, Philip N. Lilienthal, limo
thy Hopkins and William Thomas It
requested the Mechanics Institute to
join many other orga nizations in Cali
fornia in a call for a convention to de-
wise a plan for impounddng the flood
waters of the State and distributing the
same during dry seasons at reasonable
rates. The communication proceeded
to say that the dry season of 1898 had
caused a loss Of $4OO00,O00 to the
State. Such losses could not take place
with a proper system of conserving the
water supply. With the latter under
the States control, 100000 people
could easily live and prosper in Califor-
mia. France, Egypt, Lombardy and
India had made successful efforts in
this direction. The trustees voted to
join in the call for such convention.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Not Known When the Joint High
Commission Will Reassemb1e.

WASHINGTON, June Nothing is
known here officially as to what pro-
gress has been made in the negotiations
at London toward reassembling the Ca
madam Joint High Commission. 1t is
known that the arrangement of a mo-
dus vivendi to govern the relations of
the United States and Canada on the
Alaskan boundary is receiving a great
deal of ambassador Choate's attention.
The basis for the temporary delimita-
ton of the boundary in the neighbor-
hood of the pass leading into the Klon-
dixie from the Lynn canal will, if the
present efforts succeed, be on White
Pass east and on Chilcoot Pass in the
middle, at points where the Canadian
Custom houses were established about
eighteen months ago.
On the Dalton trail the point has not
yet been selected, and as the pressure
toward the sea on this weSternmost
trail by the Canadians has been more
severe than at any other point, very
naturally great difficulty is experienced
in reconciling the conflicting claims to
Jurisdiction. While Pyramid Harbor is
not insisted upon at this juncture by
the Canadians as part Of the temporary
arrangement, they are DESTROYS of get
ting as near to tide water as possible,
and their claim in this quarter includes
the important Indian village of Kluk-
wan, a town that has been long under
the protection of the United States, and
which our Government is indisposed to
surrender, even temporarily, into Cana
dian control.
Io e,
divisional point located on the Dalton
TRAIL there is no doubt that a modus
will be the outcome.
With this Alaskan boundary contro-
versy removed from the subjects for
the High Commission, there is reason to
believe that a treaty can be framed
satisfactory to both parties in time for
submission to the Senate at it's next
session.
LONDON, June IA high authority
of the Colonial Office has informed the
Associated Press that the negotiations
with reference to the Alaskan situation
are in the rosiest possible condition.
After the Interview which the United
States ambassador, Joseph H. Choate,
had yesterday with the Marquis of Sal
isbury at the Foreign Office the lines of
prospective settlement and for carry
ing on the discussion in the High Com
mission will be formally submitted by
the Secretary of State for the Colonies,
Joseph Chamberlain, who throughout
has had most potent influence with the
Canadian side. Every arrangement in
the negotiations here between Mr..
Choate, Lord Salisbury and Sir Julian
Pauncefote has gone through him, and

Another Damage Suit.

In the circuit court this morning, all
the time was taken in the argument of
a motion made by the defendants for a
continuance of the case of Mrs. Rachel
G. limerick, wife of officer Sam Emer-
ick, against the street car company of
this city.
The jury was empannelled and the
case went to trial this afternoon.
Mrs. limerick sues the company for
$4,000 damages. In her bill 1t is al
legged that one evening last January
she got on a street car to go to the cor
ner of Lynn and Seventh streets. She
was accompanied by her son. When
the car got to the point mentioned, it
is alleged, the son asked the conductor
TO stop the car, which he did, telling
them to hurry and get off. The son
alighted first, and just as Mrs. Emer-
ick was about to step to the ground,
she states, the car was started and she
was thrown on her side. The car kept
going and her dress was caught. which
dragged her distance of 125 feet.
While she was being pulled afcng the
street her son took hold of her head
and held it up, crying to the conductor
to stop the car, which he did after it
had gone the distance stated. The ten
dons OF her arm are so strained that
she has no use of the member.-Jour-

DAMAGE SUITS
Will Be Brought Against the Gov
ernment.-The City Interested.


A conference was held yesterday be-
tween Attorney B. q. Guyton and City
Solicitor Richards regarding the feas-
iblllty of the city's joining certain
property owners in bringing suit
in the U. S. Court Of Claims for dam
ages done to property by the increased
volume of water thrown to this side
of the river by the dam at the head Of
the island. Attorney Guyton repre-
sents property holders between Sixth
street and the head of the island for
whom he is about to bring suit for
damages, and the action Of the city in
the matter will depend upon the ap-
proval or disapproval of the City
Council, who will have the matter
presented to them at their meeting
this evening.
The damages done the private and
public property on this side of the
river has been considerable and the
city as well as the owners of private
property, Is entitled to neat sum.
By late decision in the Court of
Claims in Washington in a similar
case from North Carolina, the matter
is rendered almost certain In favor of
those whose property has been dam
aged by the cave-ins and washouts re-
sulting from the swlfter and stronger
current caused by the building of the
dam. Under the statute of limitations
damages can be collected only for the
past six years. but they should be con-
siderable even for that length of time.
There seems to be but one reason
able step for Council to take, and that
is to empower the City Solicitor to
bring suit along with the private prop
erty owners for a satisfactory amount
in payment of the damages done.
