It is more than half a century since
the Mexican war closed, and this may
seem to be rather late day to be
delimiting the boundary between the
two countries. The western half of
the frontier is not natural boundary,
such as the Rio Grande supplies, and
1t was surveyed and marked by monu-
ments between 1s49 and 1856, but the
monuments were few in number and
not OF permanent materials. The pres
ent international boundary commits
sion, appointed in 1891, resurveyed this
part Of the boundary and marked it
with many monuments consisting of
hollow iron posts filed with concrete.
Soon the work along the Rio Grande
will be completed and there will be no
further cause for dispute as to the
frontier of the two countries.

What is known as the Grand Army
bill in pension legislation, provides
that pensions shall not be refused to
widows whose income does not exceed
$3.50 a year. The limit hitherto has
been $50 a year. Naturally a consid-
cradle increase in the roll of pension
ers would take place at once. 1t is to
be noted. too, that pensions to widows
last longest. There was, for example,
last June one survivor Of the war of
1872 on the pension rolls, but there are
1000 widows of veterans of that war
still drawing pensions. The Spanish
war and the war in the Philippines
are likely to furnish a goodly number
of claims for pensions, the number
now being estimated at $4,000. With
this increase and the extension of the
scope of legislation, it does not appear
that we have reached bottom" in the
pension business.

union the United States industrial
commission has completed report on
general labor laws which, it is under

labor legislation will be of great value
to the industrial and political interests
OF the country, but when it comes to
specific recommendations in favor of
extending the labor laws OF certain
northern states, put upon the statute
books for political purposes, to all the

will be skating upon thin ice.

London. June 17.-This is the situa.
ton in China as 1t appears to the
Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Express, cabling last evening:
ut is really a state of yelled war.
The members of the foreign legation
in Picking are virtually prisoners and
the Chinese troops are only restrained
from attacking them by fear of the le
CATION guards. Meanwhile the lega-
tons are unable to communicate with
the leaders of the relief column, which
is
Making Forced Marches
between Tien-tsin and Picking. The
walls of the capital are guarded by
100000 imperial troops. The gates are
heavily defended with modern guns.
Gen. Tuns, acting under orders from
the empress dowager, said that no
more foreign troops shall enter the
sacred city. On Monday the ministers
sent demand to the tsung Ii yamun
that the gates be opened, declaring
that otherwise the foreign troops
would enter forcibly. To this no reply
was given. A second message went
unanswered, or had

Claude MacDonald's latest message
said that the legations are capable of

disposed to restrain the violence Of the
reactionaries it is considered highly
improbable that they would be able to
hold them in check. Danger for the
foreign ministers from the Chinese
will arrive when the relief column
comes in sight of Picking. 1t is still
felt here that the foreign force is total
ly inadequate to battle with the

situation is the fact that although the

Picking via Kia-tcha eastern Siberia)
is working again. the transmission of
messages is rigiily refused. From
Tien-tsin it is reported that the foreign
forces in the harbor will seize the
Taku forts, and if necessary,
lombard Them.
The international column still ap-
pears to be at Lang-fang engaged in
slowly repairing the railway, which,
according to dispatch from Tien-tsin
to the Daily Mail. dated June ii, can
not be effected for weeks. The force
is short Of provisions, and as it is
without field transport it must stick
to the railway. The report that the
mixed forces will seize Taku forts is
taken to mean that the foreign COM
manders expect 10 aid from the Chi
nese government in depressing the dis
orders and are determined to make
Taku serve as base for the opera
tons.
