A REFORM BY PHOTOGRAPHY.

The czar of Russia is certainly trying hard to introduce reforms in his empire. He has now ordered that every criminal sent to Sach- alin be photographed for him at the time of his arrest, upon his ar rival on the island and every three months afterward until he return. home. Thus Nicholas wants to learn whether his orders against shaving half the head and against the application of the knout are carried out. This album is now be- ing prepared by the minister of the interior. The pictures taken at the time of arrest generally show a poorly nourished, shy and brutal individual. In the next photo. however Carnival at Sachalin) the unhappy person looks quite con- tented, and in the third and fourth he has put on flesh, looking as hap py and prosperous as farmer own ing 800 acres, free of mortgage, and having $1O,O0O in the bank. Evi- dently Russian officials have brought trick" photography to . high state of perfection, and the czar-will be as wise as before.

THE ALASKA BOUNDARY.

All AlASKans are greatly interested Tn the decl- sion of the Alaska Boundary Commission, and its report is anxousy awaited We have right to psct that the American commissioners, Me.srs Root Lodge and Turner, will stand firm for Alaskas rights in the premises and relinquish none of them. Any surrender on their part will be disappointing to all true Alaskans. But have faith in their justness and fairness and await the result with confidence.
 One of the tasks of the commission is to decide upon the meaning of the treaty of 1925 between Russia and Great Britain, upon which boundary between British and Russian territory in Alaska agreed upon and incidentally the treaty of lS67 by which Russia sold Alaska to the United States will have to be dealt with
 Under the treaty of 1925 with England Russia had continuous strip, ten marine leagues wide, of territory along tho mainland of North America sx- tending downward from the great body of Alaska and following the sea ndentations throughout it's entire course, unless there should be found within those limits mountain chain which would con.t- ute the center of watershed. range of mountains has been discovered within these boundaries and this range is considerable enough to constitute d- vide between water systems. The United States rec ognizes this limitation and will give up something of the ten marine leagues of territory. But Canada wants more than this. The United States conten- tion is that the strip of territory claimed by Russia in 1925 and coded by Russia the United States in the treaty of 1867, by which bought Alaska fol- lows the snuosites of the coast throughout the en- tire length of the strip Canada, on the other hand claims that the true boundary cuts from head land to headand, by which Canada would get most of the mainland of this strip, including several ports of great value while the United States would be re- stricted to few capes and promontores, which would be of comparatively little worth. The battle will rage chiefly this point of the interpretation of the treaty regarding whether the line follows the windings of the coast or makes cut across.
 In this controversy the United States has mani fest advantage in many particulars Its contention, which that of Russia while the territory belonged to Russia, was acknowledged by England and Canada down to few years ago. When the Hudson's Bay Fur Company leased from Russia the very territory with its ports which Canada claims it conceded this very important point On all the maps of the territory figures Russian American-the former until 1867, and tho latter since then. England made protest against this claim until half dozen years ago. The British admiralty charts until recently give this territory to the United States The United States held and still holds the disputed region No claim to any part of this strip made by Canada until after the gold discoveries in the Klondike in 1897. Canada then discovered that one or two ports in the territory held by the United States and con- ceded along to that time to belong to the United

A JUST COMPLAINT.

The complaint of freighter in another column is we'll founded These trails staked for the benefit of the travelling public. It is little less than criminal to pull up and carry away these guides to the road way, and there ought to be way to reach the people guilty of so doing. It ought to be manifest to any thinking of the absolute necessity, in a country such as this, where severe snowstorms and blzzards occur of welmarked trails and the freight CTS and others interested have contributed money and labor to this end. Condemnation of those guilty of destroying these guides cannot be too severe

THE REPORT CONFIRMED.
We Get the Alaskan Award, Except the
Portland Canal.

London, Oct. 1S.-The Alaska bound
airy commission, Saturday. reached an
agreement whereby all the American
contentious are sustained. with the eX-
ception of those in relation to the Port
land canal, which Canada wins. All
that now remains to be done is for the
commissioners to affix their signatures
to the decision and complete the map
which will accompany it. On the map
will be marked the boundary line deIl-
nitely fixing the division of American
and British territory in such a OASIS
that no American citizen would rose d
foot of land he already believed he held.
while the United States will get all
the waterways to the rich Alaskan ter
ritory, with the exception OF the Port
land canal which gives Canada the one
outlet she so much needed.
The long standing dispute was ohiv
settled after a week of keen. trying, Sc
cret delibera ton between the arbltra-
tors Even up to noon. today, there was
an acute possibility that disagreement
might result and the whole proceedings
ifan to the ground. Lord Alverstone'
though only inclined to believe IN the
| Justice of the American argument that
the United States was entitled TO the
heads of the ;nlets, as contained in
question ;. held out that Canada had
asta blish her case in questions and 3,
| dealing with the Portland canal
| After luncheon Senator Lodge, Secre-
tary Root and ex-senator Turner
agreed to cede those points and to start
the American boundary line from the
head of the Portland canal. thus giving
| the Canadians that channel ana some
small islands, on which there are only
a few disused storehouses. This accom-
plished, the majority of the tribunal
| agreed to fix, with this exception. the
entire boundary as outlined in the
American case.
Whether Messrs. Aylesworth and
Jette, the Canadian commissioners. will
refuse to sign the decision and make it
unanimous is not yet known. But. it
will not affect the validity of the agree
ment if a minority report is submitted.
BY Monday afternoon, it is hoped that
everything will be ready for signature.
though the actual marking of the line
on the map which shall forever deter
mine the respective territories will Oc-
cupy some time.
The majority of the commissioners
left the foreign office hurriedly. Satur-
day afternoon, in order to catch trains
for weekend visits to the country.
Nothing had ACQUIRED which would
lead the few onlookers even to suspect
that the dispute had reached it's practi-
cal end. The commissioners themselves
are still bound to secrecy until the de-
csion is actually rendered. and practi-
cally few others We're really aware how
great a degree of success had attended
the efforts of the American members of

in the early morning.
The schooner is coal laden, but it
