Another dispatch from Sam

"The American college here
has been informed that more than
5000 refugees from the vilayet Of
Adrianople are now at Bourgas

They bring the usual tales OF ra-

known as yet of the real state of
affairs in this remote region,
which no foreigner is allowed to

BOUNDARY CASE
WAKES EXCITING
Americans Keep. an
Attorney General
Very Busy.
Location Of Alaskan Line
Discussed by London
Commission.

LONDON, Sept. 18.-When the Alaskan
Boundary Commission resumed its ses-
sions to-day Attorney General Finlay
was subjected by War Secretary Root
and Senators Lodge and Turner 10 a
fire of questions in connection with his
attempt to show that the boundary
should run from the head of Portland
Canal directly westward to the point
where the mountains, claimed by the Ca
nadians as the boundary, intersect the
fifty-sixth parallel of latitude.
The contention of the United States is
that the boundary continues up to Bear
River Valley, from the head of Portland
Canal to the fifty-eighth parallel. In
this connection Mr.. Root called the At
torney Generals attention to the fact
that Vancouver referred to Marsely Pass
as the head of the canal, and asked IL II
was not natural to suppose that the sig
natories of the treaty intended to follow
the Pass of the fifty-sixth degree.
The Attorney General replied that the
line under the treaty could not run 1ar-
Their than the water canal and from that
point must seek the mountains at the
fifty-sixth parallel. Senator Lodge sug-
geSted that this would mean that the line
must cross the mountains to reach those
points described in the Canadian case,
which the Attorney General evaded
touching upon
The Attorney General passed during
the afternoon to the discussion of the
location of the line between the fifty
sixth parallel to Mount st. Elias, assert
ing that If the contention of the United
States that the boundary should go
around the heads of inlets was admitted,
then correspondingly Canada should gain
by the tribunal deciding that the line
should follow ten marine leagues from
the shores of peninsulas.
Judge John M. Dickinson of American
counsel said the United States was con-
tending only for the heads of inlets and
not beyond, the Attorney General having
raised the point that the American claim
for tidewater as the boundary might put
the boundary far into the interior of
Canada

SERV|AN KING

RumOr Of Assassination
Entirely Without
Foundation.
Early Separation of the Ruler
From Regicides Conf
IDENTIFY Predicted.

LONDON, Sept ia direct dispatch
received here from Belgrade says:
1.-The report of the assassination Of
King Peter is entirely unfounded."
VIENNA, Sept. 1s.-As far as is known
here there is not the slightest reason to
suppose that King Peter of Servia has
been assassinated.
PARIS, Sept 1S-A dispatch from Bel
grade states that the report of the assas-
sination of King Peter of Servia is with
out foundation.
Official advices from Belgrade indicate
that King Peters recent retirement Of
Colonel Nichtich from the important posi-
ton of Departmental Chief in the Minis
try for War is the beginning of a move
ment looking to the separation of King
Peter from the conspirators who took
part in the assassination Of King Alex
ander and Queen Draga. Nichtich, the
leader of the conspiracy, was conspic-
uously honored and is now degraded as
the result of widespread indignation at
the favor shown by the King toward the
participants in the assassination.
The Temps Belgrade correspondent
says the elections for members of the
Skupshtina next Monday promise to re-
suit in a majority faVora BILE to the Sepa-
ration of the King from the regicides.
The Foreign Office has no intimation
regarding the rumor Of the assassination
of the King of Servia. The report reach
ed the Bourse here through an agency
dispatch from Antwerp. saying report
that the King had been assassinated was
current there, and it caused considerable
excitement and depression on the Bourse,
owing to the absence of official informa-
ton. The report was eventually attrib-
uted to the excited conditions prevailing
at Belgrade. The evening newspapers
here published the report, but did not at
tach any seriousness to it.

OF the club to his launch on his journey
across the bay. AS he left the landing he
was given three hearty cheers.

FOUR POINTS OF VIEW.
German Government Considers Situa.
ton in Various Phases.

ton in Various Phases.
BERLIN, Sept 1s.-The German Gov
eminent holds in view four points in the
Balkan situation:
First, does Russia regard that the, time
for the breakup Of European Turkey has
arrived? The German ministers have
been unable to penetrate Russia's ultf-
mate intentions and note with displeasure
the concerted attacks of the St. Peters
burg papers on Germany. which is de-
scribed as being in the background and
taking pleasure in the extirpation of the
Slavs in European territory.
Second. If Prince Ferdinand is per
suaded that his throne is dependent on a.
war with Turkey. then war is certain.
Every effort should be made to TRANQUIL
lie Prince Ferdinand's mind.
Third, the meetings of the sovereigns
attended by their foreign ministers are
expected to clear up the obscurities of
the situation and enable German states
men to forecast the future
The Emperors of Germany and Austria
meet at Vienna to-day. The Car meets
Emperor Francis Joseph September %.
and will then visit the King Of Italy.
Events are expected to remain quiet un-
til after the 18th, unless Bulgaria refuses
to wait
Fourth, the project for a Austrian
Russian joint occupation of Macedonia
has been wholly abandoned and there is
not the least likelihood of a renewal Of
the proposition.
Despite the fact that the Balkan sit
uation has grown worse. Turkish funds
rose again on the BOurse to-day.
