THE VERMONT AND CANADA
BOUNDARY LINE,

The yarn telegraphed from Newport.
VT. to the effect that the government
surveyors had discovered that strip Of
land containing the village Of Rchford
and 400 inhabitants belonged to Cam
ada, seems likely to have short lease
OF life. A Washington despatch to the
New York Post says that no such report
has been received at the coast and geo.
detic survey from its surveyors who are
examining the boundary line between this
country and the Dominion Of Canada at
Richford and North Troy. VT. Dr. Titt-
man. tho head of the survey has heard
nothing Of such story, though he would
have been informed carly Of any sonsa-
tional disclosures. A line of markers de-
termines the boundary between two coun.
tries not separated by n natural barrier.
These monuments may not lie mathe-
matically correct in conforming to the
line described in 4 treaty, bat wncn long
established they are recognized as de-
cisive. The present survey of the Cam
Rdian-Amcrican line is merely an invcsti-
cation Of these monumt nts and it is re-
gardcd as highly Improbable tIat any of
its findings can disturb the existing status
OF any town along the boundary.

A CRUCIAL POINT.

Indications multiply to show that the
preparations for the opening of the peace
conference between tho Russian and Jap
aese plenpotentiarics have not yet reach
ed the crucial point The supreme test
will unquestionably come when the Japan
csc representatives demand explicit infor-
nation as to the powers with which the
Russian peace ENJOYS are invested. That
the Mkados ENJOYS will make this de.
mand as one of the essential prelimina-
ries of the conference is a matter that
does not admit OF debate.
This fact has been developed as a result
Of the interview given out by NJ. White
now on his way to this country. In the
course OF which he made the statement
that he was coming to the United States
to learn the terms on which Japan would
conclude peace, and that he regarded him
self simply as a courier.
This statement by the Russian pleni-
potcntiary did not escape the watchful
eyes OF the Japanese peace ENJOYS, and il
Whites declaration was put forth as n
feeler, it accomplished the result de-
sired. The Japanese plenipotcntiarcs do
not talk themselves. but they have shrew-
~ arranged for a mouthpiece who talks
whenever semi-official utterances are
deemed necessary. The man who talks ID
Mr.. sato and he has replied to WHITE in
a way that leaves nothing to be taken for
granted.
While assuming to speak merely for
himself Sato says that the Japanese en-
voys are here with power to conclude
peace and he understands that M. Witte
has the Same powers, "else why IL hs
coming?" lie proceeded to say that II the
Russian ENJOYS have not full powers tc
negotiate a treaty. there can he no con.
ference.
This is simply another illustration OF the
fact that the Japanese arc suspicious OF
Ruesias sincerity In connection with the
peace negotiations. holding the belief that
the Russians would like to take advan'

LAsHAWAY'S OWN FAULT.
COsnmissioners Find Thnt Hc Met
Death through His Own Actions.

The state board of railroad commission
crs have filed their report regarding the
death of Edward Lashaway. which oc-
CURED near Richmond June >. They find
he met death through his own actions and
exoncrate Conductor Powers. Their re-
port is as follows:
II appears from the evidence that Ed
ward Lashaway was passenger on south
bound train No. 10 from Burlington to
White River Junction; his home was in
Hartford. VI. At Essex Junction LASH
away engaged in an alteration with two
or three parties and as the train proceed
cd south the quarrel increased in intcn-
sity until other passengers in the car be-
came frightened at the prospect of "A
rough and tumble fight. Conductor Pow
ers incrfcred and puieted the disturbance
but upon his leaving the car the trouble
was renewed After leaving Willston sta
ton, Conductor Powers again rc-entercd
the car and taking Lashaway as a ring
leader in the alteration he ordered him
to go back to the rear car; Lashaway
made no objection but started ahead of
Conductor Powers. the latter having his
hand on I.ashaways shoulder. and
brakeman following behind. When they
reached the door of the car Lashaway
opened it and as they passed out upon
the platform he made a lunge for tho
car steps. Conductor Powers caught him
by the coat but Lashaway pulled away
from him and deliberately stepped off
the train. He was thrown against a tic
lying beside the track and sustained d
fracture Of the skull from which injury
he afterwards died. At the time the ac-
|rir ha fr:,in n q
about 81 to 40 miles per hour.
The commissioners find that the alter
cation and quarrel taking place in the
passenger coach was of such character
that Conductor Powers was justified in
removing Lashaway from the car and
that in doing so Conductor Powers used
every reasonable precaution to protect
Lasha way from any injury. The fact that
I.ashaway deliberately made an attempt
to escape from Conductor Powers and
voluntarily jumped from the moving train
was established by the testimony OF eye
witnesses other than members of the train
crew. The testimony of these eye wit
ncsses. as we'll as the evidence of Con-
ductor Powers and his brakeman, was
lundsputcd. There was some evidence to
the effect that Lashaway was more or
| less under the influence of Intoxicating
| liquor but all the witnesses agreed that
he was in condition to properly care for
himself and to go through the train from
one car to another without assistance.
The commissioners find that the acct
dent was caused by the voluntary act of
Lashaway himself and that no blame at
taches to the Central Vermont Railway
company, its servants or employees.
