of two scacoast towns Djea
nnd SkaRttaj In what has been undisputed
Alaskan territory for two score jears. Is
the crucial point In the boundary dispute
between Canada and the United Statci , now
the subject of diplomatic negotiation. The
chief points of the dispute arc thus set out
by Marcus Baker , secretary of the Amer
ican Board of Geographical Names , In a
letter In the Independent1
The boundary line between Alaska and
Camda was determined In 1823. At that
tlmo the frontiers of Russia nnd Britain
V.CTO meeting "on the other side of the
ivorld. " Russian fur hunters had pushed
eastward across Asia and British fur hunt
ers westward across America until they had
met near the present Alaska-Canada fron
tier. Accordingly Russia and Britain met
t > y their agents , proceeded to divide up , not
the earth , but a portion thereof , nnd each
strove , as each will , to get a bargain After
a scries of proposals and counter proposals ,
which In the shops Itt called haggling , there
vas agreement at last A fornnl document
nvns prepared reciting that the king of
Great Britain and the emperor of Russia ,
"being desirous of drawing still closer the
tics of good understanding and friendship
which miy settle ( among other things ) the
llmltn of their respective possessions on the
northwest coast of America , have namid
plenipotentiaries " etc , etc
Thcso full powered agents described on pa
per n dividing line which , with all the elab
orate ceremonial of signing , scaling , deliver
ing , ratifying and exchanging , they mutually
accepted on behalf ot their governments
The boundary which they described In words
was shortly after shown on maps For sixty
years after this agreement no question of
boundary was raised Look at an > map of
this region published between 1S25 and 1SS4 ,
end It will be seen that thej all show the
eamo boundary That boundary Is , i line
\\hlch , ascending Portland Caml , runs
roughly parallel -with the continental
coast line and some thirty-five miles
distant therefrom , until It reaches the
141st meridian of weat longitude. The
boundary line then follows this
meridian northward to the Arctic ocean.
This Is tlio line shown on the accompanying
diagram ; It Is the Hue agreed upon by Great
Britain and by Russia In 1825 and which was ,
novcr questioned until recent 1\ .
Diiillniiutcd for PortTvtYlirn. .
Per forty-two jears after 1825 Russia held
her American possessions and In this period
no question of boundary was raised In 1SG7
the United States bought from Russia her
American possessions nnd bccamo her suc
cessor In title Russian America disappeared
from the maps nnd Uncle Sam's big "Ice
farm In the polar regions" was christened
Alaska. What rhe limits of tUls farm wore
vas made a question In congress when the
proposed purchase was under discussion.
This gave an opportunity for explanation
that one point In favor of this purchase was
n clear title. As the boundary had nlrc.adj
been made n question , had thereupon been
mutually and formally agreed upon and hac
never theicafter been questioned , the advo
cates of purchase might well believe the
tltlo to bo bej end possible dispute. It has
never been questioned until recent > cars
and why I ( s honUl bp now questioned Is not
clear. Before the establishment of a bound
ary by agreement the agents of the parties
may naturally urge their respective claims
ot discover ) , occupation , convenience
"spheres of Influence. " etc But after this
has been done nnd an agreement , of most
foimnl character , entered Into between
"rlgh contracting parties , " nothing either
fair , reasonable or tionest would seem to
remain but to nbldo by the agreement , even
if changed conditions should make one part )
i egret Its bargain.
" \Vhnt the Treaty Snj .
The Alaskan boundary Is determined bv
the words In the treaty of 1823 , of which the
following Is a copy
Art. Ill The line of demarcation between
the possessions of the high contracting par
ties upon the Coast ot ttie continent am
the Islands of America to the northwest
shall bo drawn In the following manner
"Commencing from the southernmos
point of the Island called Prince of Wales
Island , whlc'h point lies In the parallel o

the said line shall ascend to the north along
the channel called Portland channel , as far

from ttils last mentioned point , the line o
demarcation shall follow the summit of the
mountains situated parallel to the coast as

The I'nnlinmllc Itculiin.
To make this clear reference may be made
o the accompanying diagram , where the
Ino beglnlng at the southernmost point ot
'rlnce of Wales Island Is carried eastward
o the mouth of Portland canal , up which
t ascends to the head thereof and thcnco
run ? roughly parallel to the very Irregular
continental coast line and ten marine leagues
equal to about thlrty-nvo mllctO from It I

2llas Northward from Mount St Ellas j
t la only a matter tor the as-
ronomcrs to locate the 141st meridian , and
at to this there Is said to be agreement , ,
Southeast from St. Ellas , however , Is the
rian-handle region , a rugged , Icebound strip ,
indented with fang ( lords or Inlets filled with
deep water. In front of this coast Is a great
archipelago , which after the Russian czar
was named Alexander. It contains more
than 1,000 Islands , Bmall and great , and sev
eral towns , such as Sltka , Wrangcll and
others
What the respective claims of Canada and
the United States arc as to the boundary arc
not made public. I shall assume that those
of tbo United States arc as Indicated on the
accompanying sketch. This means that the
United States claims a strip upon the "coast
of the continent" thirty-five nilles wide , the
western cdgo of the strip being the conti
nental coast line and the eastern edge a
line "parallc ? to the winding of the coast. "
What the Canadian claim may be Is less
easily dea-rlbcd. Ueglnnlng with 1SS4 sev
eral lines have appeared on Canadian maps
Ono of these was carried , not up Portland
canal as required by the treaty , but up
Behrn canal , and , continuing , passed around
the head of Lvnm canal. A little later an
other Canadian map appeared , on which the
line was similarly carried up Dehm canal
and then , no longer around the head of Lynn
canal as before , leaving all Its waters on the
United States side , but across Iti mouth ,
leaving most of that deep waterway on the
Camdlan side. Other maps later omit the
boundary altogether. What prompts this
vacillation as to the boundary can only be
guessed. To one not behind the scenes It
suggests , not a well defined claim , honestly
based upon the language or the treaty , but
an attempt by clouding the real Issues to set
up speculative claims and thereby acquire
territory. So far as the newspaper accounts
are com erned they give coor to this view.
Thus Irritation Is Increased rather than al
ia ) cd.
When this boundary treaty of 1825 was
under discussion and each government was
striving to secure as favorable terms as pos
sible for the fur companies Interested , Count
Neesolrode , speaking for Russia , said :
"Thus wo wish to keep and the English
companies wish to obtain. " The newspapers
aver that this language still applies , and
even with increased force. Only those on
the Inside know if the newspapers are right ,
but the long negotiation and ea far fruitless
outcome give color to this view.
Settlement triced.
It Is of the highest Importance that this
boundary matter be adjusted promptly ,
Justly and amicably. An undetermined fron
tier Is a perpetual menace. It Is given out
that the Canadians are willing to make gen
erous concessions , but that the United States
will concede nothing. It Is also given out
with apparently equal authority that the
United States are willing to cnncedo much ,
but that Canada will concede nothing. Un
der these conditions would It not be well for
the High Joint commission to take the pub
lic Into their confidence ? Let the public
see how meanings are posslbln to bo read
out of a paper deemed by Its framcrs clear
be > end possible misunderstanding. Then It
can bo * een whether the difficulties Inhere
In the question Itself or In the attitude ot
the parties toward It. If an Intelligent pub
lic opinion will help to a satisfactory so
lution , by all means let the data be pub
lished.
There are some matters ns to which It
cannot bo doubted that an agreement has
been reached , othere as to which It la cer
tain there Is disagreement. What are these ?
Docs Canada wish territory on the shores
of Lynn canal that she may lave a Klon
dike outlet1 Quite naturally.
But what his this to do with the treaty of
ccRSlon of 18257 Is a boundary to be shifted
or a treaty Interpreted according to one's
wishes or euppoccd Interests/ Shall the
United States set up a speculative claim to
the St. Llwrence because some administra
tion might fancy such possession to be use
ful to the United Statee ? Such claims
would surely be resented as Insincere and
unfriendly And It cannot be denied that
thcie Is a unanimous feeling among United
FtatcB students of the Alaskan boundary
that Cinada'a course has been unreasonable ,
some pay contankerous. It seems to me the
negotiations should be made public , lest In
the darkness of secrecy Injustice be done to
Canada or to the United States.

occupied by the arguments of counsel for the
defense and the clcelng statement for the
prosecution. The nttorncjs for the defence
based their arguments on the thfcory that
the killing of Jones was an accident and not
a murder. They referred earnestly to his
appearance , hie good character and the entire
failure of the cvfdcnco to disclose any mo
tive whether of gain or revenge In closing
for the etate Mr Thomas Insisted on a ver
dict of murder In the first or second degree ,
alleging that there was nothing In the evi
dence to warrant a finding of manslaughter.
In his opening argument Mr Ransom de
clared that It was not sufficient to show that
his client had killed Jones , but It must be
tbown that the murder was Intentional. He
contended that a verdict of murder In the
flrot or second degree was out of the ques
tion. The evidence showed conclusively
that there was not Intent , deliberation or
malice Ho referred to Chollman's action
In giving himself up to the police and tell
ing them evcrjthing he knew of the occur
rence , and he asked It this and the other
circumstances that appeared in the evidence
Indicated that he was at heart a murderer.
Mr. Gurlcy epoko briefly but eloquently
along somewhat similar lines. Ho con
cluded dramatically by pointing to the grav-
halrcd father of the murdered man nnd ask
ing It the sun would shine brighter during
his declining vears If this other old man
on the other side of the tab'o was also
robbed of his eon.
The Instructions of Judge Baker were
very similar to those which were read In the
Kerr case. They held that It was necessary
to prove that the crime was Intentional In
rrdcr to warrant \crdlct of murder. They
did not contemplate a verdict of manslaugh

Elizabeth J. Dennis has filed a suit In
district court In which the familiar story
of her financial transactions with Cadet
Tavlor Is revived In a formal petition. This
iccltes the manner In which Tavlor secured
possession of the proceeds of the llfo In
surance , which was all the material sup
port that the late General Dennis left to
his wife. It alleges that In spite of her
protests he Insisted In Investing ttie money
in the Glebe Savings bank , of which ho
was president , and that UD to this time
Mrs. Dennis has been unable to obtain anv
considerable portion of her property.
The main facts , ns alleged In the petition ,
have been matters of general comment for
several years. Mrs. Dennis declares that
her late husband was Insured In the North
western Masonlo Aid association for J8.500.
In April , 1895 , Taylor Interested hlmseff In
her affalrs to the extent of collecting the
entire amount of the Insurance In the ca
pacity of her friend , and also as a fellow
Mason with her deceased husband. She was
paid some small amounts , but the bulk of
the money was retained by Taj lor. When
she asked for It Tavlor told her that It had
been deposited In the Globe Savings bank ,
and when she further protested , he refused
not only to give her the money , but turned
over to her two notes one for $2,500 , signed
by P. J. Falling , and the other for $2,200 ,
signed b ) George Patterson. Doth were se
cured by mortgages , and were represented
to be gilt-edged securities.
Mrs , Dennis states that she was entirely
unfamiliar with business transactions , and
at that time had no reason to question
Taylor's assurances Slneo then she has
foreclosed the mortgages and the entire pro
ceeds to date , less costs and attorney's fees ,
amount to $1,056.97. She consequently sues ,
Cadet Taylor , the Glebe Savings bank , H.
O. Devrles , D. T. Mount , and the Glob *
Loan and Trust company for $5,614.82 , the
amount she contends remains duo from the
transaction.

The difficulties between'tho Omaha Bridge
and Terminal company and the property
owners along the route at Fourteenth and
Nicholas streets , that has become known In
the litigation as the forty-foot strip , are
again In the equity court. The complaint
of John A. Scott that on April 11 the com
pany violated the Injunction granted by
Judge Fawcett by laving Its tracks on the
strip In controversy Is being heard by Judge
Fawcett and the terminal company In mak
ing a vigorous effort to defend Its action.
The contention of the company Is that It
conscientiously observed the Injunction and
only took possession of the property after
It had been acquired by condemnation pro
ceedings It asserts that when the report
of the appraisers was approved by Judge
Baxter and the amount of damages depos
ited with the county court the ownership
of the land became vested in the terminal
company and the act of taking possession
was wnrrdntod. The haste with which the
compan > strung Its tracks when the report
of the appraisers was approved Is explained
by the statement that It was not designed
as a violation of the Injunction already
Issued , but to forestall any subsequent In
junction that might bo applied for. In this
connection the company complains of the
manner In which certain property owners
have Interposed legal obstacles to the enter
prise and contends that It was essential to
take possession at once In order to avoid
additional delay and litigation ,

which Gerake beat his son severely before he

CHICAGO , Juno 14. B. A. Krkhart , repre
scntlng the milling Interests of Chicago , tes
tided before the Interstate Commerce com
mission today. He denied the statements
made jesterday by Charles Counselman re
latlng to the transportation tariff on grain
and flour. Mr. Eckhart insisted that the
discriminating rate on flour , as against the
export charges for wheat , afforded foreign
millers an unfair advantage over domestic
producers. The witness etatcd that condl
tlons were such that millers here have to
ship flour to foreign markets nt n loss , nnd
that the trade has been materially hurt by
this excessive tariff on grain products
While Mr. Eckhart waa on the stand severa
millers took occasion to sharply criticise the
methods ot warehousemen In their treatmen
of millers , the millers. It Is aald , being re
quired to buy grain In excess of the casl
or spot market value.
With today's session the committee closed
Its work In this city and loft for St. Louis ,
