Alaska--Probable Origin of Mon
ument Reports.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE official.
of the coast and geodetic survey tho
government bureau having in cbarao
the surveys made by the United Stateo
in Alaska, pronounce as incorrect tba
report attributed to Victoria. R q
newspaper, that encroachments have
been made by an American surveyor on
British territory in the neighborbood of
Portland canal. They say that none ~
their surveyors has recently been en-.
gagged in a survey of the country: that
when the American ENGINEERS were on.
gagged there they were accompanied bv
and co-operated with engineer repre.
sentatives of the British government
and that whatever monuments waro
erected were erected for the purpose ~
making trigononetrical points located
in connection with their triangular
work, it being the universal custom Of
surveyors to leave such marks wherever
they operate.
They call attention to the fact their
surveyors could do nothing towards as.
serting the sovereignty of the United
States, and also to the fact that thew
were in that country for the purpose Of
running lines, and not for the purpose
of defining boundary lines, that branch
of the work necessarily being left to
diplomatic officials.
Origin of Monuments.
He attributes this report and Others
like it to spirit of retaliation on the
part of Canadians for statements of
similar character made on the other
side of the controversy by Americans.
Speaking of the story of the monu-
ments reported to have been found
alongsthe line of the Portland canal re-
Gently by Americans, they say that the
piles of stone spoken of were placed
there years ago by naval or military
surveying party sent out under an act
of congress.
They were originally small stone
houses, used mostly as warehouse. and
their existence has been known from
the first to the English authorities, who
already have made representations to
this government concerning them
The geodetic survey authorities also
state that, so far as their knowledge
goes, no boundary monuments were in
herited by the United States from the
Russians.
