tho military tlcpartmont of Santiago,
arrived In this city on tho Munnou

WoncKBTKH, Mnss., A ug. 1. Dr.
Thomas C Mondonhall, president of
tho Worcostor Polytechnic Instltuto,
made tho survey of Alaska on which
tho boundary lino, now a subjoet of
dtsputo botween tho United States
and tho Canadian government, was
fixed by this nation. Speaking of tho
controversy, Dr. Mondonhall said:
"Tho actual valuo of tho land of
which Oreat llrltaln, through tho Ca
nadian govornmont, dosiros to possess
itself is insignificant compared with
tho Importance of tho seaport privi
leges that country would securo If its
claims were granted.
"Tho greatest benefit which Groat
llrltaln expects to dorlvo from a set
tlement of tho boundary question In
hor favor is to acqulro an open son
coast for her great Northwest terri
tories and to weaken us by breaking
our exclusive jurisdiction north of 01
degrees.
"With ono or moro seaports leading
out to tho Pacific ocean, Groat llrltaln
would como actlvoly Into competition
with American shipping interests, to
tho great disadvantage of tho latter,
which aro now pro-omlnont In tho ter
ritory In question. Over tho wator
ways and tho passes embraced in tho
disputed territory an Immonso amount
of emigration and supplies for tho
Canadian Northwc&t territory now

"Tho right of complete jurisdiction

"It was not until 19D7 that tho Can

Wahhinoton, Aug. 1. Mrs. Kato
Chaso Spraguo, wife of a former gov
ernor of Rhodo Island, and tho
daughter of tho lato Salmon P. Chase,
govornor of Ohio, secretary of tho
treasury and ohiof justice of the
Unltod Stntos supremo court, died
at her homestead, "Edgowood," in
Washington's suburbs, early this
morning. Sho was SO yoars old.
For throo months sho had been ill,
but had consented to modlcal treat

daughters, Miss Kittto Sprague, who
lived with her mother; Miss Portia
Spraguo of Narragansott Plor, and
Mrs. Donaldson of Brooklyn.
Tho death ends n career of ex
tremes. Until her brilliant mar
riage with tho war governor of Rhodo
Island, tho daughter of tho chief jus
tice had had an universally happy life.
Aftor that time sho had Uttlo except
sorrow. Four years ago tho old Chase
homestead, Edgowood, was saved from
passing from her only by tho kindness
of tho father's friends. It was ex
pected two months tigo that the plauo
would go at auction.
Early in her childhood Kathcrlno
Chaso was loft mothorless. Hor
beauty, raro intellectual abilities and
endearing qualities mado hor tho idol
of her distinguished father. When
ho was in Washington as socrotary of
tho treasury during tho war, this
young daughter presided over Ids es
tablishment. Tho town house of the
groat war financier, on tho corner of
Sixth nnd E stroets, is to this day un
iversally known as tho Chaso mansion.
Tho cabinet In thoso days was not
very strong socially, and Kato Chaso
ruled it absolutely. Mrs. Lincoln was
simply swept into tho corner when
this imperious young beauty appeared
leaning upon tho arm of tho great
nccrotary. So strong was tho dcslro
to mako hor father President, that it
is often said sho married ox-Governor

this design. Hut she might well havo

worth millions, and ho could glvo her
Canonchet, which was then tho most
superb homo in this country, and ho
was ono of the haudsomest men of tho
age.
Mrs. Chaso was in many respects
one ot tho most remarkable women
over known to Washington society.
In tho days of her prime there was
no disputing her leadership. Sho
was actually tho queen of society. No
child was over born under moro favor

As long as Chief Justice Chaso lived
his brilliant daughtor continued to be

politically. Tho failure of the Repub
lican party to nominate Salmon P.
Chaso for tho Presidency gave tho
death blow to tho ambitious hopes of
