Yet it is not unreasonable to expect that this rate will be measurably reduced as the conditions of life improve, as they will as the territory progresses.

It is stated that the American Canadian boundary survey party, in running a line from the Yukon river along the Hist meridian, has found the former survey of William Ogilvie, ex-governor of Yukon territory, 560 feet east from the true course on Davis creek. This means that a wedge-shaped slice, which begins with thin edge at Yukon river boun- dary, and runs southward several hundred miles. making the wedge grow wider, will give Alaska a large slice that long has been regarded as Canadian territory. Poker creek miners claim that many mining claims heretofore regarded on the Canadian side, where mining licenses, royalties and renewal fees for leases. were collected may now be found on the American side, and they will ask the Canadian government for refunds. The boundary line also crosses Alaska's new copper fields now being exploited by the Guggenheim com pany.

Newspapers that discussed the Hay wood trial during its pendency were guilty of q practice harmful in itself, and foolish also, as proved by the verdict of the jury acquitring the de- fendant, says the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. Those who insisted on the innocence of the defendant and expressed the opinion that he would not receive fair trial are shamed by the evident equity of all the pro- ceedings down to and inlcuding the judges charge. Those who adopted at the outset the theory of his guilt are very much let down by the fail ure of the state to prove it's case. The upshot of the trial demonstrated two things-first the folly of trying criminal cases in newspapers instead of leaving them to the proper tribun- als: second, the soundness of the assumption that an accused person held for trial before court of justice in the United States will be fairly dealt with.

This country is not the only one in which domestic infelicity is seeking relief in the divorce courts at an ever increasing rate. According to the statistics divorce is becoming more and more common in the countries of Europe. Switzerland seems to be the land of the easiest and most ire quent severing of the ties by legal process. Her average is 10 to l,o00 marriages. In France the diyorces number 2l to l, 1,000 marriages, in Ger many r. In 1881 the number of divorces granted in France was l,s19, while in '100f there were H. 692. Divorce is admittedly great evil, and in this country has been the sub iect of many conferences and much consultation. Its rapid increase in the countries of Europe may in time make it matter of international consideration, with suggestions of international uniformity of causes and procedure.

CENTRAL AMERICA INQUIRY ON.
U. S. Official Begins Investigation
Which May Lead to Action.

Washington, May 15.--George H.
Murphy, United States consul at large
in Canada, Mexico, Central America
and South America, is devoting his
attention to Central America, with a
view to making report on the treat.
ment of the subjects of one republic
when they enter the territory of an.
other. This investigation is not strict.
ly within the province of American
consular officers, but the fact that
there have been several instances of
i'll treatment of American citizens has
been made to cover the inquiry.
In the opinion of several officials OF
the state department the ill-feeling be:
tween some of the Central American
republics has led the police of some
governments to commit unwarranted
assaults upon citizens of other coun.
tries.
1t has not been made clear just
what action this government can take
after it secures the desired informa.
ton, but it is believed the inquiry is
a part Of the programme of the
United States and Mexico to exercise
some sort of supervision of the Cen.
trail American countries.
