THE ALASKA BOUNDARY.
Warning to the United States To Be
ware Of Hasty Adjustment
With England.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2O.-President
c. Mendenhall, of the Worcester. Mass,
Polytechnic Institute, formerly head o
the United States Geological Survey, de
livered a lecture last night in CHECKER
ing hall before the Army Geographical
Society on the Alaskan Boundary.
In 1892. DR.. Mendenhall was a member
of the commission that surveyed tn,
line which this country contends di
vides the northern possessions from tn,
Canadian Northwest Territory.
he said:
We are exceedingly lax in accurate
ly fixing our boundaries and in our dis
putes over them-naturally with Eng
land-on the whole We have lost The
trouble has been lack of diplomatic
training and the difference Of the peo-
pie. In 1867. when We bought Alaska
from Russia, the same language was
used in the treaty as in that between
Great Britain and Russia in 1875. and
1t is ambiguous. The boundary Of
Lower Alaska was to run from the
summit of mountain ranges parallel
with the coast, never more than ten
marine leagues, or about thirty-five
statute miles. from the coast. There is
no range Of parallel mountains, so the
line must be located by leagues. Great
Britain has contended that the coast
means the coast of the islands. In that
case she would have all Of the coast
line. Lately she has given up that
claim, but seeks TO get a harbor, most
probably Pyramid harbor. Then. 1
personally believe. she wishes to secure
naval base. Already she has in Es-
quimalt on Vancouver island, one Of
the strongest stations in the world, far
ahead Of anything we have. Should
she control southeastern Alaska
through al other key. she would have
chief command of the Pacific.
Lately. both nations have been too
busy with more important immediate
troubles, but within a few years the
Alaskan boundary question will have
to be settled. hope the American
people viii not, from sentimental or
any other reasons, surrender what is
theirs by right and what. until the
presence Of precious metals in the re-
gion was discovered, they possessed
without dispute. But if they submit it
to arbitration they will again lose val
liable territory. for they will have to
contend against men Of the highest
diplomatic training, the most faithful
devotion TO duty that the world has
yet known, and men, who. when their
nations pride is at stake, are absolute
ly regardless Of every principle Of hon
esty, justice and international law"

debt of gratitude which I owe to my coun- trymen for the honors which they have so generously bestowed upon me; but, sirs, whether it be my lot to occupy the high office for which the convention has named me, or to spend the remainder of my days in private life, it shall be my constant am bition and my controlling purpose to aid in realizing the high ideals of those whose wisdom and courage and sacrifices brought this republic into existence
 I can conceive of a national destiny sur passing the glories of the present and the pasta destiny which meets the responsi bilities of today and measures up to the possibilities of the future. Behold re- public, resting securely upon the founda- ton stones quarried by Revolutionary pa- triots from the mountain of eternal truth "a republic applying in practice and pro- claiming to the world the self evident proposition: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed with inalienable rights; that governments are instituted among men to secure these right; that gov ernments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed Behold a re- public in which civil and religious liberty stimulate all to earnest endeavor and in which the law restraints every hand up- lifted for a neighbours injury-a republic in which every citizen is a sovereign but In which no one cares to wear crown. Behold a republic standing erect while empires all around are bowed beneath the weight of their own arpaments-a republic whose flag is loved while other flags are only feared. Behold a republic increasing in population, civilization and hastening the coming of an universal brotherhood-a republic which shakes thrones and dis solves aristocracies by it's silent example and gives light and inspiration to those who sit in darkness. Behold a republic gradually but surely becoming the supreme moral factor in the worlds progress and the accepted arbiter of the worlds dis putes-a republic whose history like the path of the just, lis as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the per- feet day."

PUT UP A JOB
Judges in the Trots at Fort Erie Located
 Slick Scheme

Buffalo, Aug. S.-The judges located what they believed a job to allow Ace to win after manipulating the pools in the 2:O6 pace at Fort Erie today, and the resulting incidents furnished the sensation of the third day of the grand circuit sport. In the early pools Ace and Indiana sold at $30 each in pools in which the rest of the field aggregated $25 Free Bond took the first heat in 2:14, but Ace continued to sell favorite over the field in polls of S25 to ST. The judges suspicious being aroused by the slow time, they declared heat bets off for the opening heat
 Indiana came to the front in the second heat in much improved time, 2:06h. The third heat went to Ace in 2:10, Free Bond, which. was close up in the 206 heat which Indiana won, being third, far back. The judges were now thoroughly aroused, and they again declared heat bets off. When the horse scored for the fourth heat they took Miller off Free Bonds sulky and re- placed him by w. B. Mcdonald. Ace still sold favorite and although Mcdonald sent Free Bond right off in front, Ace outpaced him in the stretch and won easily in 2:10. Ace then took the winning heat The Judges seemed settled in their determination that there was jobbing for they declared off all betting on the general result, and fined Miller $50 and Kinney, Kenney, and Me- Evan and Mccarthy $50 each.

  promised to give independence to the Cu- bans; third, to protect the Fflipinos from outside interference while they work out their destiny, just we have protected the republics of Central and South America, and are, by the Monroe doctrine, pledged to protect Cuba. An European protector ate often results in the exploitation of the ward by the guardian. An American protectorate gives to the nation protected the advantages of our strength, without making it the victim of our greed. For three-quarters of a century the Monroe doc- Urine has been a shield to neighboring re- publics and yet it has imposed no pecuniary burden upon us After the Filipino had aided us in the war against Spain, we could not honorably turn them over to thelr former masters; we could not leave them to be the victims of the ambitious designs of the European nations, and since we do not desire to make them g. part of us, or to hold them as subjects, we propose that the only alternative, namely, to give them independence and guard them against molestation from without.
 They Gall 1t Destiny
 When our opponents are unable to de- fend their position by argument they fall back upon the assertion that it is destiny, and insist that we must submit to 1t, no matter how much it violates moral pre- ceptS and our principles Of government. This is commonplace philosophy. It ob- literates the distinction between right and wrong and makes individuals and nations the helpless victims of circumstances
 Destiny is the subterfuge of the inverte- brate, who, lacking the courage to oppose error, seeks some plausible excuse for sup porting it. Washington said that the des- tiny of the republican form of government was deeply, If not finally, staked the experiment entrusted to the American people. How different Washington's def- milton of destiny from the Republican definition. The Republicans say that this nation is in the hands of destiny; Wash ington believed that not only the destiny of our own nation, but the destiny of the republican form of government through out the world was entrusted to American hands. Washington was right. The desti- ny of this republic is in the hands of its people.
 Upon the success of the experiment here rests the hope of humanity No exterior force can disturb this republic, and no foreign influence should be permitted to change it's course. What the future has in store for this nation no one has authority to declare but each individual has his own idea of the nations mission and he owes it to his country, as well as to himself, to contribute as best he may to the fulfill ment of that mission.
