MUST CLAIM
 MILLER COUNTY
Otherwise Arkansas May Lose 1t to Texas, Says Washing ton Lawyer.

Arkansas will eventually lose Miller county to Texas, unless she makes claim to that territory, according to a letter received from Walter Holland Washington attorney, by John D. Arbuckle, attorney general yesterday morning. MT. Hol- land wrote that he had just had conference with Senator w. F. Kirby and that the sta tus of the boundary question is as follows:
 Arkansas is bounded on the south by the Red river by par alell 100 west, longitude Greenwich, and by the thirty third paralell, north latitude to the northwest corner of Loisiana. This line was agreed upon by the boundary con- mission at the time of the an nexation of Texas, and has since been accepted as the true line. MT. Holland said that the United States Su- preme Court, in the case of United States vs. Texas, 162 U. s. Reports, held this to be the true boundary. The decision said that the commissioners ln making the survey had, by the use of the old Melish map, in- dicated that they had used the universal rather than the rel ative of American meridian.
 MT. Holland concluded his letter by saying that Arkansas will have to claim the territo- ry included in the paralells or lose Miller county, since the true line goes either east or west from the thirty-third de- gree of latitude and can not stand, as now considered, to be due north from that paralell He recommended that the matter be brought to the atten- tion of the Constitutional Con- vention, which MT. Arbuckle said he intended to do.
