MORE FIGHTING THE ALASKA LINE
STATE DEPARTMENT WALKED UP
BY REPORTS
To the Effect That Canadian Surveyors Have
Been Destroying Old Russian Boundary
Monuments - information Regarded as
Authentic and will Be Investigated With.
out Delay.

Seattle, April ga Washington spe-
cial to the Post-Intelligencer says:
Sensational DEVELOPMENTS have ap-
peared in the Alaska boundary contro-
versy, which may have an important
bearing on the relations between the
United States and Great Britain. Hav-
| ing received information that monu-
ment erected by the Russians years ago
to mark the boundary between Alaska
and the British possessions has been de-
strOyed by Canadian surveying expe-
ditlon, the state department has appoint
ed committe, by direction of the presi-
dent, to visit the scene of the disputed
boundary for the purpose of investigat-
ing the alleged lawless act. The COM
mittee consists of Capt. WildeP. Rich
ardson, of the Eighth infantry, now at
Vancouver barracks, and Lieut.. George
Thornton Emmons, United States navy,
retired, at present on duty at the museum
of natural history, New York city.
This latest report came from a source
which is regarded as most authentic
The department has not been disposed
to pay attention to the recent utterances
of j. w. 1vey, collector of the Alaska
district, and it is specifically stated that
the proposed investigation is caused by
information of far different character.
The report states that Richard Frasier,
civil engineer employed by the Cana
dian government, destroyed at least one
OF the ancient monument established by
the Russians during their proprietorship
in Alaska, as indicating the international
boundary. The report is accompanied
by particulars which have never been
published, and which Secretary Hay de-
clined to divulge.
The state department, on account
OF information sought from various
sources, fully believes that the Canadians
have acted in lawless and high-handed
manner in the region of our boundary.
The officials are alarmed by the report of
the destruction of Russian monuments,
for the important reason that the weight
of the whole case of the United States in
the boundary dispute rests on the evil
dence to be had from the old Russian
relics and records.
Both members of the newly appointed
committee have had experience in Alaska
and Lieut.. EmmOns, especially, has made
profound study of the boundary mat
ter. He has spent much time in South
eastern Alaska, and is thoroughly famil-
lar with the territory disputed by the
Canadians. He once made canoe trip
of several thusand miles in Alaska, his
only companions being Indians. The
natives are extremely fond OF him, and
he counts On them for assistance.
The two officers will start for Skagwav
as soon as Lieut.. Emmons can reach
Seattle.

BOERS AND BRITISH AGAIN COME
TOGETHER
This Time in the Neishborhood Of hart's River,
Southeastern Transvaal Result Was Re.
pulse Of the Beers After Heavy Losses on
Both Sides .-DeIarey and Ksmp's Forces
Engaged With Part Of Kitchener's.

London, April 5.--There was severe
fighting all day March 81 in tie neigh
Dor hood of Harris River, in the south
western extremity of the Transvaal, be-
tween part of Gen. Kitchener's force and
the forces of Delarey and Kemp, result
ing in the repulse of the Beers after
heavy losses on both sides. The Cana
dian Rifles especially distinguished
themselves, one party, commanded by
Lieut.. Bruce Carrathers, holding it's post
until every man was killed or wounded
Lord Kitchener's official report, dated
from Pretoria, says:
"Gen. Kitchener (Lord Kitchener
brother), sent Colonies Kier and Cook
son from Vriekuit, western Transvaal,
March 81, to reconnoitre towards HATS
River. They soon ruck the track of
guns and carried on running fight for
eight miles, following the track through
the bush. Emerging in plain, large
Boer reinforcements advanced against
their TANKS, forcing the British troops
to take up defensible position, which
they hastily entrenched. Fighting en-
sued at close quarters until the Beers
| were repulsed on all sides.
"Delarey, Kemp and other leaders
vainly attempted to persuade their men
to renew the action.
Fifteen hundred Beers participated
| in the engagement, but they had suffered
too heavily and cleared away to the
northwest and south. The British losses
also are severe. The Canadian Rifles
especially distinguished themselves, one
party, commanded by Lieut.. Bruce Car
ruthers, holding its position until every
man was killed or wounded. Others OF
the forces showed great steadiness, al
lowing the Beers to advance within zoe
yards of them and repelling them with a
steady rifle fire."
London, April 5.-A partial list Of

larey's force near Vreikuil was issued to.

WALES TO BE INVITED.
New York Chamber Of Commerce Wants Him to
Come as Its Guest.

New York, April There is the
highest authority for the statement that
the Chamber Of Commerce of New York
will invite the Prince of Wales to attend
the dedication of its new home in August
or September. Negotiations of semi
official caracter have been under way for
the last two months, but nothing def.
mite will be known till May or June. As
a matter of fact, no formal invitation has
yet been sent to the Prince of Wales, in
spite of the statements to the contrary,
but it is not too much to say that such
an invitation will be forwarded, with
every prospect of its acceptance.

GREAT INCREASE
IN OUR EXPORTS OF A0RICULTly.
RAJ PRODUCTS.
Shipments Abroad for the Year 1901 Valued
at Nearly a Billion Dollars. Cotton and
Breadstuffs Leading Compared With IN.
Record Of 1900 They Show an Increase Of
Over a Hundred Millions.

Washington, April THE depart
ment of agriculture has issued a state
ment of the foreign trade of the United
States in agricultural products Itsbows
that during the fiscal year 1901 foreign
countries purchased American farm pro-
ducts to the value Of 1862 ,OOO, 900, re.
presenting the largest agricultural ex-
ports in our history. Compared with
the record for 1900 they show an increase
of over 500, 900. Our agricultural
imports on the other hand disclose con.
siderable falling off, when contrasted
with the trade of the year preceding.
The various products of agriculture re-
ceived from foreign sources during 1901
had an aggregate value of only 500 ,OOO.-
600, or $2S ,000, 900 less than in 1900. In
comparison with the value of our agri.
cultural imports, our agricultural ex-
ports show the exceptionally large ex-
cess of $500, OO0,O 900.
Our import and export trade with
Hawaii and Puerto Rico was not includ-
ed, as previously, in the foreign com.
I'merce returns of the United States for
1901. In 1900 our agricultural imports
from Hawaii and Puerto Rico were
valued at $24 ZOO, 900 and our agricultur-
al exports to those islands at about S..
600, 900.
The leading items among our agricul.
cultural imports for 1901 were: Coffee.
hides and skins; silk vegetable fibres,
fruits and nuts tobacco, wool, tea, wine
and cocoa vegetable oils, distilled spirits,
seeds, vegetables and spices, the com.
bined value of these items amounting to
about $685., 00O,0
During 1901, for the first time in sew.
eral years, our exports of cotton exceed.
ed in value our exports of breadstuffs.
After cotton and breadstuffs, which held
the first and second places in our agri.
cultural export trade, meat products
formed the largest item. Additional ex-
ports of leading importance, as named in
the order of their value, were live ami
mails, tobacco, vegetables, oil, oil cake,
and oil cake meal, fruits and nuts, dairy
products and seeds. These ten items
comprise in value 81 per cent of our total
exports for 1901.
