BROUGHT COMMISSIONS FINDING
Arrival of Ex-Secretary Foster With
Alaska Boundary Papers.

Gen. John w. Foster. agent for the
United States before the Alaskan boundary
commission, has arrived in Washing on,
bringing the official text of the commas
sion's findings and all the records OF the
American case, filling formidable array OF
boxes He had an interview with S2cre-
tary Hay today, in further explanation OF
the actual results obtained at London, and
later in the day d.ned with the President,
who has shown an intense interest in ex-
Secretary Fosters work
The findings of the commission, as they
will be- deposited in the Department OF
State, comprise three pages OF closely en-
crossed matter. and bear the signature or
the American commissioners and Lord Al
verstone and the American Secretary. In
compliance with the treaty requirement ex-
Secretary Foster will deliver these find
ings to Secretary Hay as soon as he has
completed his own report, which will be in
about three or four days time. Then 1t
will remain for Secretary Hay to enter into
negotiations at once with the British gov
eminent for the appointment of expert
surveyors to mark the lines Of the bound
airy as they have been described by the
commission.
Contrary to the common impression
Canadian charts will be used as basis of
dians, as well as the Americans, spent a
large sum of money in the preparation of
Their case. The work of the Canadian
photographers being very much more ex-
tensive and elaborate than that produced
as part of the American case, 1t was ac-
cepted by the commission as the standard.
There are seven large charts, in pale bufr
color, of Canadian design, awaiting fling
in the department, each bearing the sigma
lures of the American commissioners and
Lord Alverstone, and these will constitute
the permanent record of the boundary be-
tween Alaska and British Columbia.

Chekib Bey Declares That the Chris

Protected by Government.

His excellency Chekib Bey envoy extraor-
binary and minister plenipotentiary of Tur-
key to the United States has returned to
this city and has taken apartments at the
Shoreham unil his legation can be prepared
for his reception
The minister was seen by a Star re-
porter today. He has since his arrival
here, as the representative of Turkey,
been close student of English and
speaks that language readily. He ex-
pressed his belief that the difficulties re-
Gently complained of in Turkey have been
cleared away so that the powers are fully
satisfied that the imperial government Is
protecting Christians there.
1t is very wrong" he said Ito have the
idea go abroad that there is any difficulty
between the government of Turkey and her
Christian citizens. There is no such diff
Guilty and has never been any.
The Christians of Turkey are UNFOLDING
the government and are loyal to it. They
are ready at all times to join hands in every
movement that looks toward strengthening
the hands of the authorities.
"All of the trouble that has been COM
planned of is the result of the false reports
that have been sent abroad by the Bulga-
rian bandits Their purpose is TO induce the
Macedonians to join them in a movement
looking to their independence They ars
now. as you know. under an autonomous
government. with the suzerainty of Turkey
over them Macedonia Is simply a part of
the Turkish domain
THE Bulgarians have a committee that
might well be called a committee of falsI-
fication, which sends out all sorts of sensa-
tional reports that are for the purpose
of prejudicing other governments against
Turkey.
These reports prepared with the
greatest care, and they are frequently ac-
companied by pictures to add force to them
The fact is they frequently relate to mat
tiers that have never occurred, and they are
at all times colored in such way as to be
utterly false They attempt to place the
Turk in a false light and to show that he
is prosecuting the Christians whereas, as
l said. the Christian people of Turkey haye
all the protection they could desire and are
not only living there in perfect safety. but
they are intensely loyal to the government.
1.-The atrocities we hear of are committed
by these Bulgarian brigands. who are
styled Christians for the purpose of Great
ing sentiment against Turkey on the part
of the great powers to help along their in
trigues looking to the Independence Of Bull =

The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1903-09-15

The last two ballets at the Imperial
Opera of Vienna attracted large audi
ences, anxious TO see the performances
of Miss Matilda Kschesinska and
Messrs. Obuchow. Legat and Bekesy,
all dancers from the Imperial Russian
Marie theater, in st. Petersburg.
Miss Kschesinska, the prima baller-
ina, was the chief attraction, but she
will excite more interest when what
the World correspondent has learned
about her is mac known to the pub
lie
She has been loved by the Car for
more than ten years. The close friend
ship between the Russian Emperor
and the Polish dancer dates back to
two years before the Cars marriage.
The Czarina, then Princess Alix Of
Hesse, knew of the Cars infatuation
and of the serious character their re-
lations had taken after the birth of
son. She yielded with bitter forebod-
ings to the commands of relatives and
may have been sustained by the hope
that the Gar would become so at
tached to her that he would give up
the dancer. But she had to learn the
bitter truth that Matilda Kschesinska
retained her place in the Cars affec-
tons and in time became the mother
of three more children, all sons, while
1t was the Czarina's fate to become the
mother of girls only.
Still, by degrees the Czarina, with
her pure heart and lofty mind, gained
great ascendancy over her husband,
and he has now consented to break off
all relations with the Polish ballerina,
