ALASKA'S BOUNDARY
Opposition to Proposed Line
Result of Ignorance.
80 TERRITORY CEDED TO ENGLAND.
No Diminution of Rights or Priyi-
Icgcs suffered by Subjects of
Either Power by the Tenn
pOrary settlement.

WASHINGTON, Aug. None of the
protests reported to have been made in
Alaska against the definition of the pro.
yisional boundary line has reached Wash.
ngton. and the impression prevails in
the state department that the agitation
of that subject is based upon II lack OF
knowledge of the exact nature of the
agreement effected between the United
States and Great Britain by which q
most difficult and dangerous subject was
removed from the current negotiations
between the two countries. 1t is pointed
out by the state department officials that
this provisional boundary line, the run.
ming of which is said to have excited the
American miners in the Porcupine region
is not in any sense binding upon either
party to the modus vivendi. except as a
purcly temporary scheme designed to pre-.
vent hostile conflicts between the min.
ers and the police forces through lack of
knowledge as to their rights The pur.

To De n Wonderful Country.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-"Alaska is
destined to be wonderful country"
says United States Consul McCook at
Dawson City in Il letter to the state de-
partment. The Lanana district, he says,
Is creating a stir and is dividing honors
with the Koyuiuk country. In the Ia.
mana regions the miners claim they can
get from 10 to 30 cents worth of pay
dirt to the pan, and this in summer dig
ging with only two or three feet of bed
rock is equivalent to 81 "A pan where one
has to go - feet to bedrock. 1.-The great
necessity now in Alaska" says Consul
McCook, sis good roads. good camps and

known sections"

NEW ORLEANS, July 2S.--After a
desperate battle lasting for several hours,
in which he succeeded in killing Ser
seant Gabriel Porteous, Andy Van
kuren, keeper of the police Jail, and AL
fred j. Bloomfield, young boy; fatally

who killed Captain Day and Patrolman
Lamb and badly wounded Officer Mora,
was smoked out of his hiding place in
the heart of the residence section of the
city and literally shot to pieces.
The tragedy was one of the most re-
markabe in the history Of the city, and
10000 people, soldiers, policemen and
citizens were gathered around the square
IN which Charles was finally put to
death. Tremendous excitement reigned
IN New Orleans as the battle went on

negro with his Winchester.

why Veteran European Command
ers Shake Their Heads over the
Question of Invading the
Interior of the Empire.

The stiff fight put up by the Chinese
forces about Peking and Tientsin,
whether by Boxers or the regular
troops, has opened the eyes of El-
ropean and American writers, who. re-
membering the ease with which "Chi-
nese Gordon" marched across the en-
pire with less than 10000 men, had i'm
agined that the allied armies would
have an equally easy time. We are
now awakening to the fact that since
the Gordon invasion German, Japan,
ese and Russian officers, who have
been timely employed drilling the ma
tives have made good fighters out Of
the fanatics-always easy to do If you
know the trick. In consequence of
this the veteran commanders in
charge of the various contingents Of
the powers on the scene are moving
with great caution. II the few be.
leaguered foreigners in the coast cities
can be saved, they will consider them
selves exceedingly fortunate, while as
to the proposal of an invasion of the
interior the generals are dubiousiy
shaking their heads.
The subjugation of the Chinese EN-.
pire Is not matter of n moment, even
If the powers come to any certain
agreement as to apportionment and
action. The empire will put up a good
fight, and Is overwhelmingly the
stronger in point Of numbers. Suppos,
ing that the Chinese empire armed in
the same proportion as do other states,
the army Of the yellow men would be
incomparably the largest In the east.

A Curious In.

The first place Of worship in Yves
tern Australia was quite unique both
from it's frail form Ct construction and
also the several purposes to which it
was devoted.
This remarkable building was made
at Perth, then merely q town site, by
soldiers of the 2nd Company 63rd Regi-
ment shortly after the ar
rived at the colony in 1929, and was
i composed almost entirely of bulrushes.
In addition to his rude little edifice
! being used on Sundays for divine wor-
ship, it sometimes served as an anna
teur theatre during the week, and was
used during the whole time as a bar
racks.
There is probably no other instance
on record of a building simultaneously
as it were, repl esenting the church
the army, and the drama.
