merators Beck and Sexton have reach
ed Juneau from Copper River where
their summers work resulted in the
enumeration of 500 Indians and 600

1t is gratifying to learn that the cf-
fort to acclimatiZe the reindeer in Alas
ka has been successful. Although
most of the 520 animals imported from
Lapland nearly three years ago died
en- route from the Over-richueSS of the
diet of hay, on which they were fed
because of the impossibility of prOvid-
ing the tundra moss on which they
thrive. a small number survived. The
herd which was later enlarged by the
addition of 100 reindeer doe from 81
IBERIA, now numbers 1000 head. and its
rapid increase under Government pro-
lection seems assured. The intrOduc-
ton Of domestic animal capable Of
sustaining life on the bleak tundra and
equally useful as beast of burden
ard food is an event of the greatest
Importance to our Arctic dependency.

Territorial Integrity of China to Be

HAVE TWO POWERFUL HACKERS.
Great Britain and Germany Declare
the Same Policy as the United
States.

London, BY Ca5le.-The foreign Of
fee makes the announcement that af-
ter an exchange of notes between
Lord Salisbury and Count HatZfeldt,
German ambassador to Great Britain,
an agreement was reached, October 16,
for the maintenance Of the rights and
interests of these two powers in China
under existing treaties. A mutual
policy on certain lines was also agreed
upon.
The terms of this agreement are
given out officially as follows:
THE German government and her
British majesty's government being
desirous to maintain their interests in
China and their rights under existing
treaties. have agreed to observe the
following principles regarding a mu-
tual policy in China:
"1. 1t is matter Of joint permanent
international interest that the ports on
the rivers and littoral of China should
remain free and open to trade and to
every other legitimate form of econo-
mic activity for the people OF all coun-
tries without distinction, and the two
governments agree on their part to
uphold the same for all Chinese terri
tory as far as they can exercise in
fuence.
80. Both governments will not, on
their part, make use OF the present
complication to obtain for themselves
any territorial advantage in Chinese
dominion, and will direct their policy
toward maintaining undiminished the
territorial condition of the Chinese en-
pire.
"3. In case Of another power making
use Of the complications in China in
order to obtain under any form what
ever such territorial advantages, the
two contracting parties reserve to
themselves the right to come to
preliminary understanding regarding
the eventual step to be taken for the
protection Of their own interests in
China.
81. The two governments will COM
municate this agreement to the other
powers interested, especially Austria
Hungary, France, Italy, Japan, Russia
and the United States, and invite there
to accept the principles recorded in
it."
The publication Of the agreement be-
tween Great Britain and the Kaiser
has aroused intense interest here and
in the continental capitals. 1t is ex-
pected that it will bring forth gen
eral agreement for the settlement OF
the Chinese problem and put an end to
the procrastination OF the powers
which has led the Celestials to believe
that there was lack OF backbone in
the several governments that are to
deal with them and make reprisals for
the outrages against foreigners.
Being assured that there will be no
partition of the empire. 1t IS believed
here that the imperial authorities will
prepare to deal fairly and openly with
the powers for an amicable settle.
