Y London. Aug. 1.-THE Boer organ in

dispatch threatening Great Britain in
the event of war, saying the Beers are
determined to wreck the mines and ir-
retrievably ruin the general body of
shareholders by blowing up millions of
dollars worth of machinery, adding
that the war will mean the absolute
ruin of johannesburg, both as town
and as mining center. and saying:

EMILY CRAWFORD
CREATES A SENSATION.
London Times Proof of Treason of
Henry and Esterhazv.


Rennes, France Aug. 1.-THE Lon
don Times statement this morning of
the late Lieutenant Colonel Henrv's
treason. caused considerable sensation
here. and was much discussed among
the newspaper men and all others inter
eSted in the trial. The affirmation of
Henry that Esterhazy was his accom-
plice is only a confirmation of what has
already many times been stated. But
what was regarded as important is the
fact that the Times announced it in
such categorical terms, demonstrating
according to the views of the friends of
Dreyfus here, that the Times people
have actually seen documents submit
ted TO them by more, than one foreign
military attache. presenting the strong
est proof of Henry's guilt and. more
over. that this announcement can only
prelude the publication by the Times
of the actual documents.
The correspondent here of the Asso-
ciated Press spoke to Major Forzinnet-
Ii. who was governor of the Cherche
Midi prison, during Dreyfus' incarcera-
ton there, and who was cashiered on
account of his declarations favorable to
Dreyfus' attitude While in prison. For
zinnetti said:
The Times statement confirms my

completely from the very first. and al
ways regarded him as the real Gull

SUPPORTED By BRITISH MAPS.
Claim of United States As to the
Alaskan Boundary.

New York, Aug. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Clear
evidence as TO the growth of the pres
ent Canadian contention regarding the
. location of the Alaskan boundary line
can be found in a comparison of Off
cial British and Canadian maps. 1t will
be seen that Great Britain has not
adopted on the official charts issued by
the photographic officers of admiralty
the line now contended for by Canada.
but has laid down upon them with pos
sibly some slight variations. the iden-
teal line that is contended for by the
United States government.
This is shown by reference to the line
as traced on the admiralty chart of the
Pacific ocean on the edition of 1887. and
on the admiralty chart of Alaskan
waters in the edition of 1898.
These lines differ somewhat in the
neighborhood Of Mount st. Eas,
one following an arm of noun
tainS and the other following
the winding of the coast, but
as to the two essential points in con-
troversy both maps agree, and both
sustain the American claim. By follow
ing the winding of the coast at Lynn
canal these lines. as will readily be
seen. throw the whole of the Lynn ca
United States.
The Canadian claim as it stands to-
day has been arrived at by evolution.
The treaty makes the boundary begin
at the southarmost point of Prince of
Wales island and ascend TO the north
along the channel called Portland
channel" AS Portland channel, which
runs to the north. begins almost due
east of the southernmost point of Prince
of EaIn iclo 10 cot
the contention that the treaty makers
could not have meant Portland chan
mel, but must have had Benin canal in
mind.
In accordance with this view, Mr.
Smith, chief commissioner of lands and
works in 1884. made map. in which he
carried the line up Benin canal Aside
from this. the map followed in gen.
eral way the line contended for by the
Americans.
1t was not until 1895 that the Cana
dian contention took its present shape.
in that year Mr.. Martin, the chief COM
missioner of lands and works. pub
lished a map which shows the present
Canadian contention in its full deyel-
opment. He adopted the same theory
that his predecessors did as to Portland
channel, and, iran his line up Benin ca
nal.
Then he abandoned the winding of
the coast. which the theory provided
should be the guide in locating the line
ten marine leagues therefrom and bas-
ing his work on the contentious that the
treaty meant that the coast line should
be considered as running from headland
to headland. he laid down. what he
termed the undetermined boundary
line.
This line. it will be seen,. crosses the
I ,ynn rapaI irTTnediafeiy South of Rer
ner's bay, and throws all of the upper
part of the canal. including Dyea, Skag-
way, Pyramid Harbor and other settle
ments and the entrance into the har-
Dor, and, it is contended by the repre-
sentatives of the United States, would
be directly contrary to the provisions
Of the treaty.
