WORK FOR THE sIGHTLEss.
Industrial Department of the HON.
Tor the Blind Opened.

The Aid Association for the Blind of the
District of Columbia has announced the
opening II the industrial department of
the home, 915 E Street northwest The
workshop has been opened and orders are
BENG taken for chair-caning, broom-mak-
ing. ali mattress making all the labor of
the Sl,ni.
Ths philsnthropic work of the associa-
ton has made rapid strides forward in the
last few months. Unlike many instA ~
tions for the care OF. the sightless. the
association provides not only home for
but means by which unfortunates can
learn to make living.
The association was organized in 1897
and incorporated in 1899. This latter step
was taken to enable the association to &C
cept an offer OF substantial assistance.
Mr.. Stilson Hutehins transferred to the
board of trustees the property at SIS Z
Street northwest. The property was sub
ject TO an encumbrance in the shape of a
mortgage. In this new location the home
was opened in January of the present year.
The directors at once set TO work to
raise the money to clear the indebtedness
The directors have made application that
the home be given a part of the annual
appropriation by Congress for the care Of
the blind in the District. In letter dated
July Z, 1900 the Commissioners are ad-
dressed as follows:
I'm view OF the fact that the Aid Asso-
citation was created not only for the pur-
pose of caring for INDECENT blind persons,
but also for the purpose of promoting their
employment at useful and gainful indus
tries. we ask that III the disposal OF the
$1,000 appropriated for the care. mainten-
ance, and instruction of the blind, and for
the equipment of workshops for the blind
for the fiscal year 1901, the association be
given such consideration as is justified by
its charter, work, ard prospects,
Meanwhile the work of fitting up the
workshop has been pushed forward. The
sum Of $500 has been applied on the mort
gage encumbering the home, and the pros
poets are bright for its total payment.
Two thousand circulars announcing the
opening of the industrial department have
been sent out by the secretary. Miss Alice
U. Hun. Orders for work may be left
at the office of the home.

GRANT FROM SAN DOMINGO.
NaturaIized American Citizen Want,
His Claim Enforced.

Salvador RIOS, of New York, a natural
lied American citizen of Cuban nativity.
appeared before Solicitor Penfield, of the
State Department, yesterday and asked
that the United States Government protect
him in the exercise of rights which he
claims were granted him by the Govern
ment Of San Domingo. Mr.. Maxwell, the
Consul General of San Domingo In New
York was present Mr.. RIOS stated that he
had received from the late President Heu-
reaux, of the Dominican Republic, a conces-
sion OF the harbor of San Pedro He was
to make certain improvements and did so.
Before the concession was signed, how
ever, Heureaux was assassinated and the
Dominican Congress declined to confirm
the grant. Mr.. RIOS was to receive nav
ment for his improvements through the
collection by him of certain import and
export taxes. He claimed that the Do
minican authorities have refused to per-
nit him to make these collections. and
he wants the United States Government
to protect him In doing so. The formal
papers in the case were not presented and

ALASKAN BOUNDARY MIDDLE
An Official Statement TO BE Made
Concerning Its Status.

The State Department will in the near
future make an official statement as to the
status of the Alaskan boundary quest on.
The attitude of the Department l. that he
modus viyendi is at most temporary
agreement, in which the rights of neither
side are surrendered. the question Of toun-
dairy being left for final determination in
the future. The present boundary is he'd
to be merely provisional, for the sake of
avoiding controversies between customs
officers and actual conflicts between miners
Moreover. it is stated that the United
States Official. Mr.. Tittman, who is on his
way back from the work Of delimiting
the line, had absolutely no discretion in the
matter, but simply set out the stakes along
the line specifically agreed upon IN the mo-
dus viyendi q October 10 last. Mr.. Tit
mans action, therefore, is held to present
no new phase of the subject, which, accord
ing to the State Department, has undergone
no change whatever since last October
The forthcoming department statement VIII
doubtless be along these lines.
