pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

a constitutional disease, requires q
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, aching directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of

foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature IN do
ing its work. The proprielors have so

The Boundary Matter.

Lieut.. George T. Emmons, of the navy. has been detailed as a mem- Der of the commission, with Capt. Richardson, to visit Alaska and British Columbia, to investigate matters connected with the boun- dary dispute. It has become posi- lively known that the commission would have been appointed even if the sensational report regarding the alleged destruction of an old Russian boundary monument had not been received. This report, which in itself would not have aroused much official attention, was taken as the ostensible object of appointing the commission of officers.
 The real purpose, however, can- not be definitely learned. It is certain the state department had some idea in regard to the disputed boundary line, which the officials desired to investigate by sending out two trusty officers, acquainted with the country.
 It has been learned that the state department in 1900, caused several inquiries to he made by oul diplomatic representatives at St Petersburg and London, and tht conclusion was that the Russians in Alaska never defined the bOun. dary by visible marks. In appoint ing the present commission, how ever, the state department has a definite object in connection with the boundary dispute, which, as stated, is not fully disclosed.
The Alaska prospector., 1902-05-01
Ivey's Charges.

Last month J. w. Ivey, made a speech in Skagway which has aroused considerable comment. He made several charges against the officials of both the Canadian and United States governments. They are as follows:
 That the Canadian customs off cials opened |. <. Customs mail in Skagway, which is on American soil.
 That the war department created the St. Michael military reserva- tion for fraudulent purposes. so that few large corporations could control the transportation business at the mouth of the great-Yukon river.
 That the recommendation of Gen. Randall to not extend the military road any further from Valdez, is for the purpose of giving q railroad corporation a monopoly on the Copper river country.
 That our fish laws were drawn up by the attorney of the salmon cannery combine, and that Congress passed these laws verbatim.
 That during the latter part of last summer and within the past six months, Dick Frazier, an official civil engineer of the Canadian gov ernment, and one of the most prom inent civil engineers in Canada, de- stroyed Russian boundary monu- ment. The monument was of stone, resting on stone base, and there was Russian inscription upon it. It was situated IS miles beyond the modus vivendi line on the Cana dian side. In the presence of two American miners. Mir. Frazier or dered his men to destroy the mon- ument. It was torn down, broken into small pieces and was covered with sand and gravel. That affadavits of the witnesses were taken and sent to the state department, but the officials who forwarded these affadavits, have never received any acknowledge ment of their receipt.
 And last, that when Secretary of State Hay agreed to the modus vi- vendi line between Alaska and Can ada, that he committed cruel and cowardly crime.
