English View of the Boundary
 Question.

The British newspapers and mag azincs are now discussing the Alas ka boundary question from what they call its practical side. They point out that the welfare of the Yukon country. 19S,OOO square miles in extent, depends upon the acceptance of the Canadian conten- tion as to the boundary.
 The Empire Review, for example, says that in 1897 there were only small boats on the upper Yukon.
 Now there is fleet of steamers valued at $l 100000. The combin- ed fleets of the upper and lower Yukon are worth $2,5OO,OOO. Thir- ty-six thousand tons of freight were carried into the upper Yukon country last year, against 1000 tons in 1894.
 Dawson city was only 8 collection tents in 1894 and now has property assessed at $11,64S,OOO. Other towns have made as rapid pro- gress. In six years the country has produced $SO,OOO,OOO of gold and $20,0O0,0OO has been invested in railways, wagon roads, public buildings and permanent improve ments. Therefore, says the Elm pire Review, the boundary line as fixed by the Canadian authorities ought to be accepted by the United States.
 This argument is characteristic ally English and frank to the point of bluntness. Not single word is said to impair the legality of the acknowledged boundary line. Not word is said as to the pro- visions of the treaty under which Alaskan territory came to the Un- ited States. The whole argument is, in effect, that because it is in- convenient to the Canadian govern ment to send troops to the Yukon through American territory, and as 1t is inconvenient to permit Lynn canal to be in the hands of the Americans, therefore the boundary ought to be changed so as to pro- mote the prosperity of the Yukon country and to contribute to the convenience of the Canadian gov ernment.
 The whole argument in favor of the Canadian contention is that the United States ought to yield this territory because Canada wants it, and because the commercial in- terests of the Canadian northwest will always be at disadvantage if the United States does not yield.
 There are two phases of the ques- tion for Americans-the patriotic phase, which precludes the surren- der of any American territory to any foreign power, and the prac- tical phase, which puts American interests ahead of the interests of Canada or any other foreign state. Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Sunrise Rifles.


 the past week or so, as number of miners have been in town celebrat- ing. The town will be very quiet, however until next fall. as all the miners and prospectors have left town for the mines.
 The new commissioners office has been opened in the Baum build ing, where connections quarters have been secured. There are q number of cases on the court docket and the commissioner is kept quite busy. The establishment of a re- cording office here is a great con- venience to this section of Alaska, and the action of Judge Wicker sham in granting the request for a recorder is greatly appreciated.
 Mir. c. F. Yeaton, who had the management of the U. s. store in this place few seasons ago, return cd on the last steamer with q large stock of goods. and has opened store at the old stand. The people of Sunrise are glad to welcome him in their midst again.
 MT. $. w. Wieble, the largest operator in this part of Alaska, re- turned on the Bertha, and will soon have his hydraulic outfit at work. Mir. Wieble has expended largely on his property, and has great faith in the future of this country. He has taken out considerable gold but it is expected that this will be his banner year.
 There are large number of strangers in this section and much prospecting will be done this year. All the properties are showing ul well. Several parties have gone up the Saushitna river prospecting. and others are preparingt to go later. A number are prospecting on Turn, again Arm, and others have gone up the Matanuska.
 Tine natives have been almost starving in the Inlet country this winter, thinking that they had no right to kill moose for their own use. They have now been inform ed of their rights and are out hunt ing.
 Mike Connolly picked up two nuggets on a bench 80 feet above Sixmile creek, Il few days ago, worth $5 and $40. It is believed that the benches along this creek will prove to be rich.
 MT. s. w. Wieble brought with him three pair each of California mountain quail, turtle doves and pigeons. These he will turn loose at his barns on Sixmile creek for the purpose of ascertaining whether they will live and multiply in Alas ka. Pigeons do we'll in some parts of Alaska, and it is thought that the mountain quail will thrive also, but it is doubtful whether the doves will survive the winters as they are from warm climate.
 Work on the Polly mine, Messrs. Robt. Michaelson and John Rem ner, proprietors, has commenced. The pay streak was lost last year but found this spring, and in a few days time $100,000 was taken out.
 Pete Ogle has put up "jerk wa ter" saw mill on his Bertha creek property. Pete can now sit down and the water does the work.

RELATING TO THE
BOARD OF HEALTH

Several resolutions complaining of
the Board of Health and government
physicians were introduced in the
House this morning and Kupiheas bill
reorganizing the Board passed first
reading. According to the new bill
the Board of Health is to consist of a
President, vice-p president, Territorial
superintendent of Leper Settlement,
one county sanitary officer for each
county, a secretary, and the federal
marine hospital officers as honorary
members. The officers are to be APP
pointed by the governor, also the leper
settlement superintendent. On the
recommendation of the board the gov
ernor is to appoint a Bacteriologist, an
analyst and a veterinary. The salaries
of the president Bacteriologist SAM
tary officers of counties, Insane Asy-
lum physician and leper settlement
physician are to be $4,000 each and the
leper superintendent $1,000.
Kealawaa introduced a resolution to
insert an item of $4,000 in the appro-
priation bill for medicines for outside
districts. The resolution says THAT
whenever a person called upon a gov
eminent physician for some medicines
instead of giving the medicines asked
for free of charge, he then and there
charged him for same; upon being ask
ed the reason why he did so, an
personally and not the government"
Kealawaa also introduced a resolu-
ton Directing to a stable established
by the Board of Health in Kakaako,
and ordering the Board to remove the
stable without day The resolution
set forth that the stable was objec
tionable in a thicllly populated dis
trict.
Nakaleka offered a resolution to ap-
propriate 5000 to pay "a number of
people employed by the Board of
Health at various points at Molokai,"
in 1899, and never paid for their SER
vices.
Representative Long gave notice of
the following bill which he will in
troduce: AN act to permit the distil-
lation of spirits and spirituous liquors
in the Territory, and the sale thereof;
and to repeal all laws which prohibit
such distillation and sale"
There was much discussion over a
resolution offered by Kupihea and
which it was proposed to refer to the
finance committee, as follows:
BE it Resolved. That the Chairman
of the Finance Committee be instruct
ed to investigate the Tax Laws and
the license laws, of the Territory of
Hawaii and to file a report thereof to
this House within days from date"
Harris objected and several votes
were taken, Harris and others claim
ing that the finance committee could
not do anything with such a resolution
but it was finally referred to the
finance committee in spite of the COM
mittee's objection.
The morning session closed with the
passage on second reading of large
number of House and Senate bills and
the House took a recess to this after
noon, when more bills will be taken
up.

THINK INCOME
!. TAX NECESSARY
SENATOR ACHTS BURIED BILL
BROUGHT UP-ADVERSELY RE-
PORTED BY COMMITTEE.

Senator Achrs bill to repeal the in
come tax was resurrected this morn
ms. The resurrection was not of a
very lasting character however, for the
measure was shelved to be considered
with the, county bill. ''i 81
Last Saturday Senator Achi de-
manded to know what had become of
his bill to knock out the income tax.
He expressed the belief that the COM
mittee on Ways and Means which had
the measure in hand had pigeon-holed
the measure for the purpose of killing
it.
This morning Senator Baldwin the
chairman Of the committee in question
reported on the measure. He recon-
mended that the bill be killed and
that the Income Tax be left. Con-
tinuing the Senator said that he
doubted if any one had been any more
affected by the enforcement of the In
come tax than himself but he did not
think that the tax could be dispensed
with at the present time. He thought
that with the subdivision of the ter
ritorial government into county gov
eminent, the expenses would be in
creased rather than diminished and he
did not see how the Income Tax could
be eliminated.
In reply Senator Achi said that he
had not introduced the bill because of
any personal interest. He paid no in
come tax but he thought that it was
right that the measure should be re-
pealed. The County Bill proposed a
one per cent tax and the municipal
bill an additional one per cent to which
is added the license tax. The speaker
thought that this provided sufficient
funds and that the Income Tax would
not therefore be required The Sen
ator was not prepared at this time
| however to argue the issue so he want
ed the report taken up with the Coun-
ty Bill. Senator Achi said that he
might wish to argue an entire day on
the issue.
| Senator Cecil Brown said that he did
not like the tax, but he thought that
| ii was necessary.
| The report was finally tabled to be
/ considered with the County Bill.

Governor claim in favor of a submits
sion of said claims upon the evidence
contained in the affidaVits already
submitted, pro and COM and can the
governor assure this legislature that
such submission would be agreeable to
said foreign governments, so pressing
said claims?
20. Is it not true that the several
sums mentioned by the Governor, in
a later communication to the Senate.
as being the several amounts for
which said claimants or their respec-
tive governments made claims in the
premises, were merely tentatively put
forth by said governments, or by the
representative of the British govern
ment, as sums for which said British
government would be willing to adjust
said claims, if the same should be then
Immediately paid, and the principle in
Volved in said claims should be frank
ly and promptly acknowledged by the
government of said Republic? and
that said figures in no sense represent
ed, or now represent the sums for
which said claims of foreign claimants,
(other than citizens of the United
States) could or can now be settled?
And the Governor is hereby further
requested to attach to his reply to this
resolution copy and copies of all cor
respondence with the government Of
the United States, as touching the
character or nationality or personnel
of such proposed commission, the will
ingness or otherwise of the govern
ment of the United States to settle and
pay said claims, and any other fea-
lures which will serve to enlighten or
advise the Senate in its action upon
said recommendation of the Cover
nor"
considerable discussion ensued on
this matter. Senator Baldwin said
that he did not think the Senate would
have any authority to expect the Gov
ernor to answer any such set of ques-
tons. Senator Achi favored going
very slow in the matter for he said
that it was a question where the
claims of foreign subjects were con-
cerned and it might result in the Fed
eral government having to take hand
in the matter. The resolution was
finally referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee.
Senator Dickey also presented a re-
solution asking that Committee draft
bill authorizing the appointment of
the commission to pass upon these for
eign claims or else to have the COM
mittee make some suggestion on the
subject This measure was referred
to the Judiciary Committee.

Although the S. S. Siberia is not due
until tomorrow morning from San
Francisco with eight days later mail
and news files, many people expect
her to be reported some time this af-
teTnoon or evening. Should she be
reported today it will mean that she
has made the trip either under or a
few hours over five days. The agents
do not look for her however before to-
morrow morning as she will prbably
not be sent out to cut any records on
her first trip.

IRONQUILL'S COACHMAN
nr. Ware Explains Why a Charge
 Against Him is Probably Untrue.

Topeka, Kan. August 6.-United States Pension Commissioner F. F. Ware reached Topeka at noon today for twenty four-hour stop en route to the G. A. R. reunion at San Francisco. In reply to a question as to the charge Of Albert Martin being dismissed from the Topeka pension office as being a violation of the civil service rules. MT. Ware said:
 II have not seen the newspaper ac- counts of the charges, but I understand that I am charged with promoting my coachman in the bureau. AS I never had a coachman or a coach 1 think this must be a mistake.
 We have done more business in the pension office this past year than at any time for ten years. As you will see, I am not charged with misconduct of office in any manner save violation of civil service rules. No shortage of funds is alleged. It seems to me an attack upon the administration through this bureau by enemies of President Roosevelt. ] court the most rigid in vestigation by the civil service com mission.
