MUCH TERRITORY LOST.
Through the EstabIishrasnI OF . Boundary
Line In the E0rth-A Protest Made
By Americas Miners

SkagWay, Alaska, July Is, via Seattle,
Wash, July 2A-The work Of deter
mining the provisional boundary In
the disputed Alaska Canadian territory
having been completed In that part
crossing the Dalton trail and touching
the Porcupine district, the Americans
in the district find that they have lost
a large part Of what they believe was
rightfuIly American territory. The
survey has been run and the monu-
ments set within the last few weeks by
O. II. Tittman, Of Washington, d. c.,
and ". F. King, Of Ottawa, and assist
ants who have simply followed instruc-
tions as set forth In the modUs viYendi
agreed to Professionally some months
ago by Secretary Hay, on the part Of
the United States and British repre-
sentatives, after the adjournment Of
the joint high commission.
The survey and demarkation to the
line leaves nearly One-half Of the POr-
cupine gold mines IN the British terri
tory, and it has been the general Opin-
ion for a long time that the mines, in
fact the entire POrcupine district was
on the American side. Much of the
Dalton toll road, leading to POrcupine
city now lies within Canadian territory
also; that is, is on the Canadian side Of
the iron monuments set up as the pro-
visiOnal line.
The American miners in the POrcu-
pine having watched the development
| Of the work Of delimiting and marking
the boundary, were 50 aroused over the
result of so much Of the mining dist
riot being left on the British side that
they were not long in addressing pro-
test to President Mckinley. Copies Of
the protest having been sent to the
chambers Of commerce Of Seattle,
Skagway, San Francisco and Portland
with a request for cooperation.

Lincoln, July 23.-The rain storm
kept W. J. Bryan indoors to-day, but
time did not hang heavily on his hands.
He had a number Of visitors during
the day, three Of political prominence
Gen James B. Weaver Of Iowa, Louis
@. Ehrit Of Colorado Springs, Col, and
John Z. Pitts Of Cincinnati. Dir. Pitts
is secretary Of the national democratic
camgaign club Of the commercial trav-
elers, and he claims many accessions to
the ranks Of the organization.
A story circulated here to-day, al
though not credited to Mr.. Bryan OF
his visitors, Is to the effect that Charles
a. TOwne viii remain on the ticket as
POpulist candidate for viee-president
for the good his candidacy viii do in
the strongly pOPulistic states Of Neb-
raska, Kansas and South Dakota. Mr..
TOwne's letter Of acceptance, or with
drawal, viii be held back, it is asserted,
until the national committees Of the
democrats and Populists have discussed
the matter. A conference, the report
said, would be held In Chicago early in
August.
