MONUMENTS IN ALASKA
STONES DID NOT MARK The
BOUNDARY.
Result of Investigation Made by
Lieut.. Emmons for State
Department.

Washington, Nov. 7.-Lieut. Geo. I.
Emmons, U. S. NJ. retired, has made
to the secretary of state his report
upon the results of his Investigations
a1ong the Alaskan boundary of certain
stories which have found frequent
repetition in late years to the effect
that monuments have been discovered
marking the real boundary line pc
tween Alaska and the British North
west territory at a point many leagues
further from the sea than he BRUSH
have been willing to admit.
Lieutenant Emmons was selected
for the work Of inquiry because ne
was thoroughly familiar with the
country in which the supposed bound
ary stones exist. He spent much OF
the past summer in the region n
has now reached a conclusion.
The state department at this time
will not make the report public. Inc
inquiry is regarded but one chapfe
in a long series of Investigations which
have been going On for the past ter
wears under the auspices of the state
department. 1t is said that the depart
ment has investigated promptly ev
erv rumor bearing on the existence O.
boundary monuments which present
ed the least appearance Of plausibll
ity.
Lieutenant Emmons declares tina
he has not breathed a word OF n ma
tire of his conclusions to anyone eS
cent the. officials here in Washington
Still it is regarded as a fair conJee
ture that he has not found the stone
reported to exist to be boundary mol

CHARGES FOR CARRYING CATTLE
SHOULD BE RAISED.
DO NOT PAY THEIR SHARE
Evidence of Vice President Of st. Paul
Road Before Inter State Com
merce Commission.

Chicago, Nov. t.. I. LID, lnlru
vice president of the st. Paul road,
took a bold stand before the interstate
commission today when
that body began an investigation into
rates on cattle and packing house
products between Chicago and the
Missouri river. Mr.. Bird was the
first witness of Importance before the
commission, and when asked if hesde-
sired to defend the reasonableness
of the St. Paul's livestock rates he
declared that they were not reason
able. mot only are our livestock
rates unreasonable" he declared, b u
all our freight rates today are unrea-
sonable, because they are entirely
too low to compensate for the service
rendered. All freight rates mould
be raised and l am surprised that the
railroads do not make a combined
effort and raise them"
This statement surprised the mem
bers of the commission and they i'm
mediately started to ascertain MI.
Birds reasons. The witness stated
that it was unfair to take the past
two years as a basis from which TO
Judge the fairness of rates and the
fairness of remuneration derived by
the railroads, for during that period
the volume of traffic had greatly IN
) creased, whereas before that period
) %railroading had not as a general prop
t osition, been remunerative. With re
spect to cattle rates, Mr.. Bird as
7 serted that cattle did not now, and
had not for years, paid their just pro-
/ portion of transportation charges, and
e that to further reduce the rates OF
t cattle would be to make a bad sltua
ton worse. When asked what govern
ed the scientific making of rates he
d replied that he had not seen the time
in Is wears when rates could be made
n on a scientific basis. On the con
trary rates are always based upol
g competition. comparison and compro
mise.

controlling factor in the democratic
party. In the national conventions
two years hence Tammany will name

one general. view expressed by lead
ers OF all political parties.
The democracy of Greater New

been SO boisterously jubilant for the

voters to the polls in the upstate dis

A nearly solid democratic delega-
lion in congress from New York city
is the sum total of democratic efforts,
and Tammany will undertake to shape
the policy for the party in the FIFTY

In the yea 1879 the Danes MADE
a descent on Hamburg, then, as now
the great seaport of the German con-

Hamburg had had warning OF the

ready. and the Danish soldiers met
with so hot a reception that the
were only too glad to take a hurfleo
departure, leaving many OF their mum
Der dead and dying behind them as
a result of the conflict.
The Hamburgers struck a coin 70
commemorate the event, and one OF
these coins has lately been sold
among a collection which belonged
to a deceased collector in Berlin. On
one side are these words: THE KING
