BOUNDARY DISCOVERED.

Lieutenant Emmons Sought for Monu-
ments for Past Two Seasons.
Seattle, Wash, Oct 2S.-Advices were
received from Juneau on the steamer
Dolphin that the missing Russian
boundary monuments which have been
searched for by Lieutenant Emmons
for the past two seasons, have> been
discovered by a prospector of the Por-
cupine district, James H. DeBlondeau,
a native of Marseilles, France, who in
terested himself in the modus yivendi
strip for several years. Through friend
ship with the Chilkat Indians he gained
information which gave him clew to
the position of the first monument.
From this start he discovered several
more of the LANDMARKS put up years
ago by the czar's men. The line
marked by these monuments is about
five miles inland from Pleasant Camp,
which is seventeen miles from Klulx-
won. The latter is five miles from
tide water on the Chilkat river
This makes the Russian survey line
approximately twenty-seven miles in
land to the summit, less than ten ma
rine leagues, and just where it was ex-
pected to be from the language used in
the Anglo Russian treaty of 1925. The
Rainy Hollow district is within Amer
lean territory.

CLEYELAND'S POSITION
VIII Take No Active Part in the Cam
paign.

New York, Oct 2S-The Herald
prints a dispatch from Trenton in
which ex-President Cleveland is quoted
as saying: Il feel very much interest
ed in my party this year, but do not
want to take an active and prominent
part in the struggle. I consented with
reluctance to make short speech at
MorristoWn on next Thursday, because
the circumstances We're represented to
me as being exceptional, and it was
thought that 1 could do some good.
But the fact that / consented has gone
out and has brought down on me an
avalanche Of applications for me to
make speeches or write letters, or 9th
erWise get into the fight. This I can
not do. There are other democrats
who are coming forward and I am
quite content to stay in retirement and
enjoy the repose Of home life"
1T is generally felt..'' Mr. Cleveland
added, that the democratic party
stands on solid ground this year in un-
euqivocally declaring for a revision Of
the tariff. But then everybody knows
where I stand on that question It is
now and will be until equitably settled
the paramount issue in American poll
tics"

Controversy Revived in Case InvolY-
ing Prize Money

Washington, Oct 2s.-There was a
brief reminder of the -Schley
controversy in the United States. SUI
preme court yesterday when the case
of ''The United States against w. T.
Sampson, rear admiral, and Others
was called for argument. 1t involves
distribution of prize money because
OF the capture of the Spanish cruiser
Infanta Maria Teresa in the battle Of
Santiago Chief Justice Fuller sug-
gested the necessity of substituting
some other name for that of Admiral
sampson in view of the admiraIs
death.
Assistant Attorney General Hoyt
for the government responded that the
parties to the controversy had sup
posed that the court might make q
suggestion later in the case and thar
for the present the argument could
proceed under the present title. Chief
Justice Fuller manifested a disposition
TO demur to this suggestion, urging
Inar the name of some other officer
should be used-ssthat. - he said. "of
Admiral Schley or some one else.',
Inc name of Admiral Schley did not
appear to meet the approval of the at.
rorneys present representing the naval
officers, one of them. James III. Hay-
den, responding that there would be
some difficulty about making q. s,1bsti-
tuition. If" he said, ssthere is to be
substitution, there remains but one
man who was an officer of the feet.
and that is Captain Chadwick. who
was Admiral SIMPSONS chief of staff.
Admiral Schley's duties were limited
to the command of a division Of the
fieetn q
I had thought it possible respond
ed the chief justice, .tthat it might be
a question of rank or title"
To this suggestion Mr. Havden re-
piled: IF Admiral Sampson had not
been present and in command there.
Admiral Schley would have been in
command of the feet, but as he was
present and in command"
The sentence was not completed.
Justice Harlan interrupted: present

over the turn the case had taken. His

voice slightly, when he asked: "Is
that point involved in this case?"

SHORT CALENDAR.
Judge Shumway Opened Court at IL :45
This Morning.

Short calendar was held In the SUI
perior court to-day before Judge Shum-
way. Court came in at Ids and took
up business Immediately. Very few
cases on the trial list were ready for
hearing. The case of Adam Faber's
appeal from probate was put down for
hearing Wednesday of next week.
There is a probability that this matter
will be settled out of court. The next
case in order is the election contest be-
tween John I'll. Flanagan and James A.
HyneS. In this matter Attorney
O'Neill, counsel for Hynes, stated that
1t is not a question Of votes but, in his
opinion, a question of legality OF GER
tain votes. He did not think. there
fore, that there would be any necessity
of opening the ballot boxes or having
a recount. There was no reply to this
statement Chipman's appeal from
probate follows. This may take a
week.
A motion to have the clerk Of the
court turn over certain money to the
trustee Of the estate of William L.
White was allowed Also an order
for additional notice IN the divorce case
Of Lena Schlipp VS. Frederick J..
Schlipp. A number of motions were
taken off the list by consent Of coun-
sci, among them being one for default
Tor failure to file an answer in the suit
of Walter L. Frisbie against Perry G.
Morris ct al.
The only divorce petition heard was
that OF Matilda Loud versus Frank e.
Loud. This petition was based on
desertion. The parties were married
on October "a, 1894. and about four
years after the alleged act Of deser-
ton is said to have occurred. This
was Mrs Loud's third attempt to OBJ
tain divorce. Besides her own tes-
timony, Mrs Meliora Barkhousen, her
mother; her friend. Mrs Jennie al. Bel.
den, and the latter's husband, Edward
I'll. Belden. testified. The evidence
was not of a surprising nature The
court thought that the defendants res
idence for the statutory period, three
years, was not proved. Excepting
this point he thought there would be
no bar to the plaintiff obtaining a de-
cree. and to give Attorney Carmody,
her counsel, time to procure evidence
on that point the case was continued.
The other petitions as follows went
over to next week: Lena Sch1ipp VS.
Frederick J. Schlipp; Lillian l. Buzzell
vs. William Buzze11; Maryana A.
Blodgett VS. Charles H. B1odgett; Re-
gina Lamoureux VS. Peter Lamoureux.

NAVAL BOARD DIFFERENCES.
Admiral Melville Holds Out for More
Speed Vessels.

Washington, Oct 2S.-The differences
in the naval board on construction
over the question as to whether speed
or power was to predominate in the
big armored cruisers authorized by the
last congress, took official form when
AdmiralS O'Neil, Bradford and BoWles
and Captain Sigsbee submitted a ma
jority report favorable to power on
the new cruisers, and Engineer-in
Chief Mulville a minority report con-
templating less power and more speed
The majority in its report saws tha
the disagreement only extends to q
matter of 100 tons, which the minority
consider should be allowed for ma
ehlnery weights over and above those
proposed in the circular agreed on by
the majority. The majority declares
that the new ships will have greater
power OF battery and Of protection
Inan any armored cruisers now build

VIII be much more efficient than yes
sells of the Maryland class. Expert
ments, they say, have shown that the
vessels Will have a speed Of twenty
Two Knots, which is as high as is con
slstent with heavy guns and armor
Admiral Melville starts out with the
plunt statement that he does not be-
lleve the maJority's ships will comply
with the act of congress, which eyi-
IDENTIFY had in view that the ships
should be equal to any vessels Of their
class, namely, armored cruisers and

class at will He then criticises the
majority in detail as certain to result

Acted as His own surg..a.

NEW YORK, Oct. With Spartan
courage Andrew Murray Of 1919 Cler-
mont avenue, Brooklyn, performed an
operation for the removal of cancer
from his own tongue recently. Whether
the operation has removed the entire
growth of the cancer is not known, but
the physicians say that the man GER
tainly prolonged his life, for if the op-
Grafton had not been performed death
would have ensued in six months. Muir
ray declares that he is feeling well at
present and that should the growth ap-
pear again he will certainly cut it out
again himself. The growth is of the
kind that caused the death of General

DENoUNc1NG COAL DEALERS.


New Haven, Oct 2S.-About 200
people of the ninth ward, largely men
employed in the Winchester Arms
company, met in PohIman's hall last
night. Resolutions were passed de-
nouncing New Haven coal dealers for
charging extortionate prices for COAL .
and thereby taking advantage of cir
cumstances most deplorable."
A committee was appointed to cor
respond with the operators and invite
them to open an operators depot in
New Haven, or else select an opera
tors agent, and instruct him to charge
a stated reasonable price.
A large number of speeches were
made The coal dealers would not
have been pleased if they had heard
them.
Facts were offered to show that coal
has cost more in New Haven since the
strike than in any other tidewater city
and that anthracite is double the price
it is in New York and bituminous coal
about 50 a ton higher.
The following preamble and resolves
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Owing to unforeseen events
long strike has prevaiIed in the an
thracite coal fields, thereby depriving
the people of an abundant supply Of
coal.
And whereas, the local coal dealers
have seen fit to charge extortionate
rates for coal thereby taking advant-
age of circumstances most deplorable,
*Therefore. be 1t resolved that we,
the citizens Of the niSth ward, do most
earnestly condemn the New Haven
coal dealers who have combined to
Systematically rob the citizens and
