STEAMER RUNS AMUCK
APPARATUS GETS
 OUT OF ORDER.
The George Dumois Bumps Into . Wharf and Other Vessels at
 Mobile-Mechanics Go
 on Strike.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau,
 Mobile, May II.
 Yesterday morning at o'clock what came near proving a serious accident, oc- cured in the river between Theatre and Canal Street wharves. The Norwegian fruit steamship George Dumois, after leaving her mooring at the Louisville and Nashville wharf for the out trip, when strengthened out in the stream. cut loose from the tug. and after getting good speedway, became manageable through her steering gear being fouled in some manner. She became headed shoreward towards the city side of the river and the signal was given the engineer to back the vessel.
 It looked as If the vessel would run into the immense docks of tbe Ollinger undergoing repair. The port anchor was let go, but dragged. the fiukes failing to catch. The steamer veered to port. how ever. and barely missed the dock, but again headed shoreward in spite of the engines being reversed and the steamers back struck the fishing schooner For tuna of the Galveston Fish Company. a glancing blow. driving ln five blanks and tanning the guard rail for distance of several feet. The Fortuna was tied up Fish and Oyster Company fleet and the latter was damned against the pier break ing heavy stringer and a piling and bulging up part of the wharf.
 SOnLHuing OnWaru III neE unmandSe- able career. down stream, the George Dumois headed to the Mobile Fish and Oyster Companys wharf. a distance of about 125 feet south. where the ships bow headed in between the wharf and the new schooner Amelie Lyons, which. was made fast and on the side of which was tied up the schooner Frank Cassizas.
 The steamer again, fortunately, struck a glancing blow against the Amelie Lyons. but sufficiently hard to do her much damage. It was learned. on inves- tigating, that one port chain plate had been torn out and every plank through which bolts were driven was broken. The rail from the forward rigging to the bows end was broken. the cat head was torn off and the anchor bent. one of the flukes being driven into the capstan block and the head gear was broken away or twisted beyond service. That the two schooners which were struck were not crushed like egg shells was due to the fact that they are new and stoutly built.
 The crews of all four schooners were in their hunks when the crashes came and they rushed wildly on deck not know ing what had happened. The captain of the George Dumois was hailed, but after repairing his steering gear he put to sea.

The Alaskan Boundary Question.

From the time of the cession Of Alaska
to the United States and in fact ever
since the treaty of 1925 between Russia
and Great Britain, down to the discovery
Of gold in the Klondike, there was no
dispute of the fact that Russia had
originally an unbroken strip of land along
the Pacific coast of Alaska, which gave
hcr control of all the sounds, channels
and Inland bays along the coast. This
strip with the rest of Alaska was sold
to the United States. And all the maps,
Russian, English, American or Canadian
down to 1897 drew the line between Brit
ish- America and the United States inside
of the bays, inlets and arms of the sea
For some seventy years Russia had full
control of all the sounds, channels and
! inland seas Of the broken Alaskan coast
Whatever Russia possessed in that quar-
ter we acquired when we purchased Alas
ka, and our right to occupy the heads
of all the inlets was not disputed by the
| Canadians until the discovery of gold in
| the Klondikc made access to the sea a
matter of Importance to the inhabita
of the northwestern section of British
! North America. Then the Canadians be-
gan to claim that the boundary line
should cut across the inlots so as TO
give them seaports at the heads of the
inlets. The determination of the dispute
| has been referred to a joint commission.
! upon which England, Canada and the
| United States are ably represented In the
June North American the Canadian claim
| is clearly refuted. The author Mr. Il. w.
Parker, examines the boundary treaty of
1925 and the interpretations put upon it,
down to 1887. by British subjects, includ-
ing Canadians, as well as by Russians
| and Americans. 1t seems 10 US that no
fair minded man following his analysis of
the evidence can reject the conclusion
that, from the terms of the treaty, the
whole shore, including the CULTS, bays
and inland seas, was to belong to Russia,
down to latitude 81 degrees 40 minutes
and that south of that line they were to
belong to England; that the word 'oCean"
included all tidal estuaries, and that the
interior boundary was to be a range Of
mountains on the continent inside of the
| "sinuosties of the shore" unless the
range OF mountains Should De more imam
ten leagues therefrom, in which event
a line at that distance from these sinu-
osities was to be the boundary Mr.. Par
ker demonstrates not only that this is the
plain purport of the treaty, but also that
such "A construction of it is SO thoroughly
confirmed by admissions of ownership
made at various times before 1897 that no
dispute would seem to be possible concern
ing the meaning of the instrument. AS
one of the highest judicial authorities in
Great Britain is on the commission we
look forward to n decision IN our favor
on the part of the commissioners, who
will presently meet in London for the
purpose of defining the boundary.
Canada will of course resist and protest
to the last.
