INDIANS OBJECT ID
 CHANGING BOUNDARY Kluckwans Notify Canadians
 Not to Drive Stakes.
ARE LOYAL AMERICANS
Pa triotic Natives Try to Prevent the surveyors fr m Bringing British Line Nee or to oTidewater-"Wan No King George Men" They Say.

The Indians of Kluckwan have no love for EngIlshmen. They have notified the Canadian surveyors not to drive any King George stakes around their stamping ground.
 An interesting story is brought down from Kluckwan, the capital city of all the Kluckwan's, by Judge Malonv of Juneau, of the loyalv of the Indians to Uncle Sam and their hatred of the British.
 EWhen the surveyors of the provisional boundary line commenced work in the nelghborhood of Kluokwan, the Indians were much interested to know what it was all about. They were finally informed that the men were engaged in marking the line between the respective domains of the Boston men and the King George men. Now, these Indians have for many years had only one position on the boundary question-they have been Americans to the core, and are vet Americans. To them there is only one line beyond which the Briton reIgns. That line is where Amer lean maps have shown it since the United States acquired Alaska.
 It troubled these simple natives of the forest and sea that half dozen Canucks could come up into their country and by such a simple process remove the boundary line many miles nearer tide water.
 A consultation amongst all the braves resulted. They decided not to permit such high handed proceedings, They appointed

a delegation which awaited on the gasp ing Canadian land grabbers and notified them in very solemn language to refrain from driving any more stakes.
 We want no King George men around here," said the chief.
 They were finally persuaded to permit the work to continue, by the promise that the King George policemen would remain over the divide on the Dalton trail where thev are now stationed.

 In passing sentence on Jim Hanson, Judge Brown broke down from emotion. He told Hanson that notwithstanding his terrible crime there had been so m my cir cumstances in his conduct since that time that he was constrained to hope that the presidents clemency would intervene to save his life.
 There was no such kind words for Jim Williams and Kichitoo. To them he said he was convinced they were guilty of will full murder. and that they had only the skill of their very able attorneys to thank for saving their lives.
 In fact, Judge Brown several times dur ing the proceedings referred to the master lv defense made by Messrs. Jennings and Crews for their clients

Hepburn Bilt VIII He Pressed In the
House Regardless of Treaty Now
Pending In the senate.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2L--A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
II is possible that the Hepburn Nicaragua
canal bin may be passed by the house Of
representatives and It may even become
law before the senate acts on the Hay
Phunccfote treaty. Representative Hep
burn Is determined to press the bill at
every opportunity.
II is expected that the committee on
rules will report Mr. Hepburn's resolution
favorably though IL is possible that some
change may be made In the date that he
has fixed for the consideration of the bill
Mr.. Hepburn and many OF the advocates
OF the canal bill. in both houses OF con-
gress, are in favor OF passing the pending
bin containing the authorization OF the
fertilization OF the canal without regard TO
the action OF the senate on the pending
treaty
In speaking of this subject Mr.. Hepburn
said 1t would make no material difference
whether the treaty was ratified or not IL
IL should be agreed TO by the senate, and
# should be determined that the president
had no power under the treaty to fortify
the canal. he need not act under the au-
inority given him 10 erect fortifications lie
thought II would he well for congress 10
give the president all the authority that
he could possibly want.
