ALASKA'S BOUNDARY
The Fairbanks-Foster Party
Returns From the North.
We SHOULD NOT YIELD AN INCH.
The White ana ChiIcoot Passes Are
the storm Center of the Dispute.
Canadians Hope to secure
kIondiIxe Port of Entry.

TACOMA, July 1O.-The Fairbanks.
Foster Alaskan boundary party has re-
turned from the north, and interviews
with members of the party Indicate that
the watershed on White pass, back of
Skaguay and Dyea. will be accepted as
the international boundary line ut that
point. The White and Chlcoot passes
constitute the storm center of the Alaska
boundary. At those points the Canadians
hope to secure concessions that will en-
able them to anchor down a port of entry
into the Klondike goldfelds. All other
parts of the country thereabouts where
concessions are looked for are of little
importance compared with the Lynn ca
nal. which is the key to the situation.
Senator Fairbanks, when interviewed,
placed importance on the fact that he
must sit with the joint high commission
in August but declined to state what
lines of argument he would take up. Re
garding boundary matters that were dis
cussed during the four weeks spent in
Alaska Senator Foster declined to speak.
PERSONALLY" he said, II am opposed
to yielding an inch of United States ter
Itory. a careful investigation, however,
demonstrates that there may be different
constructions placed upon the treaties
involved as regards channels, the situation
of lesser islands and the like. But in the
main the United States is plainly given
a strip of territory north of Portland ca
nal or thereabouts ten marine leagues
inland, except where well defined
mountain range placed the boundary
nearer the coast. This strip runs to
Mount st. Elias. Many contend at the
passes that the watershed back of Ska
quay and Dyea is the dividing line. On
the one side are the head waters of the
Yukon and on the other the streams
flowing into Lynn canal are formed. Be
tween these two districts there is
chain of mountains, in the opinion of
some bringing the boundary line some Is
miles nearer the coast This seems to be
a fair expression of the American view
of the boundary question. BY this con.
struction of the treaty it is held England
will receive the benefit of every point
that eun be fairly and honestly granted.
"On the other hand. however, the Ca
nadians and many of the English hold
that the boundary should be drawn 80
miles, or ten marine leagues, inland from
the headlands. BY such a construction,
Of course, Lynn canal would be an inlet
into Canadian territory, and three ma
rine leagues inland from the headlands
at the entrance would be many miles
south of Skaguay and Dyea, and hence
Canada and England would have the
coveted port of entry without a question
Of doubt As | look upon it personally,
Lynn canal is a part of the ocean. 1t
would be unfair to draw line 30 miles
inland from the entrance to bodies of
water of that nature and call it the
boundary under the treaty.

spnin Misses Her Colonies.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-As the re-
suit of the loss of her colonies Spain's
sugar factories, with II yearly produc-
tion of 10000 tons, have been unable to
satisfy the home demand, amounting to
about 100000 tons per annum. Accord
ing to Consular Agent Mcrtens at Valen-
cia, the government has been pettioned
to reduce the high prohibitive duty of
1O2H per cent to 80 per cent, and, in
spite of the opposition of the refineries,
the reduction probably will be made as a
revenue producing measure.

A well posted diplomat said that the
trouble was not so much of political
character as it was commercial and finan-
cial.
The government recently has been issu-
ing large quantities of paper money with
out having any considerable quantity Of
coin on hand to redeem it. AS a result
exchange has jumped to rate hitherto
unknown. and the Guatemalan dollar
now passes current at only about 25
cents. To this financial disorder is at
tributed the arrest of n number of lead
ing tinanciers connected with the banks
of the country.
