Washington. Oct. 10. When a man Irays pi-ce of property, acconlinK to a bu.Hiiivs alai.-. the purchaser usually en tails a lawsuit, but when the United States bought Alaska from the emperor of RuKKia in 17 it also accumulated in em bryo two lively quarrels. At that time the possihility of controversy was probably not suspected, but it has since developed in a! most marked manner. .Tnst now the two are engajdnK the attention of the govern- "Btw" disabilities and the rules or evidence governing the same. Friday evening there was sent to Secretary Noble a printed copy of a supplemental decision in this case. This supplemental decision, which was un signed, contained language, particularly in the heading and brief syllabus, which the secretary regarded as entirely uncalled for, and extremely partisan in character. The I'ncalletl for Language. The syllabus referred to read as follows: The arbitrary rule of the Cleveland ad ministration in adjudicating claims, liased niKn alleged 'new"' disabilities, overruled bv the Harrison administration in the in terest of meritorious applicants. The old doctrine of estoppel in pension claims set aside by the present administration." The secretary at ouce rewrote the decision.elim nuting therefrom the objectionable lan guage. Fired" the Oft'emling Man. Saturday morning the secretary made in quiries as to the author of the unsigned ue- ei.ilon, which resulted in the prompt dis missal of George llaJier, a im-mler of tha lxni of pension appeals in the office of Asist:nt Secretary Hussey. lki)er says the language was not objectionable, and that it was read ami approved by Bussey. The latter is not in the city at present. AS TO EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. TUotc for ments of the United States and Great Britain the seal question and the boun dary lietween Alaska ami British Colum bia.

Ai;? of Course They Cannot. J The controversy has lien-n going on with, more or less force between the two govern- j merits for several years, and has now 'm reached a stage where each has appointed a J commissioner to confer together on the ' subject and see if they cannot agree upon a line. The British commissioner is the ' chief astronomer of the IJoyal college of Canada: for the United States Professor IVIandenhall. superintendent of the coast and geological survey, has leen named by , the president. They will meet in Montreal, ' probably next month, but it is not thought they will reaclia joint satisfactory conclu sion. feseription of the lionnriary. The line in dispute was laid down origi nally in the treaty between Russia and Great Britain executed in lSii, and is there described as follows: '"Commencing from the southernmost point of the island called Prince of Wales island, which point lies in the paralled of 54 degrees, 40 minutes north latitude, and between the 131st and the 183d degree of west longitude (meridian Comparative Fiire Olvins This VTar'and Last.

I "With reference to the line of demarca- ; tion laid down in the preceding article, it is understood that whenever the ftnmmit of the monntains which extend in j a direction parallel to the coast from the , fifty-sixth degree of north latitude to the point of intersection of the 141st degree of , west longitude, shall prove to be at the dis- j tance of more than ten marine leagues from the ocean, the limit between the British I possessions and the line of coast which is to lielong to Russia as above mentioned (that is to say, the limit to the possessions ceded by this convention), shall be formed by a line parallel to the winding of the coast, and which shall never exceed the distance of ten marine leagues therefrom." - The Ieflnltlon of "Coast" In Dispute. At that time the interior of the country was hut little known; hence the insertion of the alternative line "ten marine leagues from the coast." Better acquaintance with the territory hasT" develop J the fact that the supposed range of mountains parallel to the coast does not exist, so the other line must be established. There will not be much difficulty in locating the line after the meaning of the word "coast" has been agreed upon. Herein lies the only prob- i able important point of difference. The British officials, it is understood, will as sert that what is meant is the outside line the procession as it passes in pa re vie-.r of raae. Prosecutions ITniler the Labor Law. Washington, Oct. IX W. J. Ister,aa inspector who has charge of prosecutions for violations of the alien contract lalor law, reports to the secretary of the treas ury that from July U, 1"?1, to Sept 30, lMni, judgments in favor of the United States were obtained from the courts in 151 cases; judgments against the United States were rendered in ten cases, and six cast's were either discontinued or compromised, leav ing eighty-six cases jx-iidiug. Oave the President a Sonvenir. Washington, Oct. 10. President Harri son was Saturday presented by John Joy Edson, chairman, and B. H. Warner, treas urer, of the citizens' executive committee, with a handsome souvenir medal of the late G. A. R. encampment in this city. The medal, which was struck especially for the president, is made from the metal of con demned cannon. Will Walt Till After Election. Washington, Oct. 10. The presidential election occurs one month from Saturday and the statement is made at the executive mansion that the president will not in the interim make any appointment "not aliso lutely essential to the smooth running of the government. Quite a number of im portant vacancies are to be filled. Xo Change in Mrs. Harrison's Condition. Washington, Oct. 10. Xo change was rermrtd in Mrs. Harrison's condition ljist. of the fringe of islands skirting the coast; night. She passed a fairly comfortable day and to support the conteutioh will allege that Portland channel was named in the ' treaty by mistake;'tliat what was meant was another arm of the sea some miles to ' the westward., ' Claims of the Contestants. Portland channel, or canal, as it is known, by the way, isn't a canal nt all, but an arm of the sea, narrow and well defined, some what resembling a canal. Another point made by the British officials is that Port land canal does not extend to the 53th de gree of north latitude, and therefore it could not have been meant. On the other hand, the United States commissioner will contend that the "coast" line means -the mainland, not that of the outlying islands. As to Portland canal he will assert that at the time of the treaty the canal was be lieved to extend as high as 50 negrees by both parties, and was used advisedly. If Twere Well Done 'Twere Done Quickly. Professor Mendenhali, speaking of this matter, says: "The boundary question ought to be settled soon. It can be done now without much controversy, for the ter ritory involved is not known to be valuable. There are reports of good mineral finds, but they are not wholly verified. If they should turn out to be true, of course the settlement will be that much more difficult to make. "We could have agreed with England about the seals in two minutes a quarter of a century ago; now several years are required to reach a . settlement." The "coast line" difficulty is important, for if the string of islands is the line there is no territory left for the United States on the mainland worth contending for. and evening. mtnation In tne National Game.

The Premier h-ft Whatcom for Seattle nt noon and was three hours late. The Willa mette had loaded for San Fnmisoo and left at noon. The fog was very ,o;';SO and lxth ships complied with regulations requiring whistles to le blown every half minute. The Premier was ten mi!- this side of Port Townsend when the whistle of the big collier-was heard. Their warning signals were sounded regularly as the lxmts ap proached hach other. There is at least one mile sea room at this place. I'ouikI Where They Were Too Ijte. Both captains say they thought the other vessel was taking the opposite side of the sound, as in the dense, heavy air the whistles sounded faintly. Suddenly, as the Premier rounde l Mutiny hay, where the bluff reverberated the signals, the boats found they were close upon each other, and the next minute the captain and pilot of the Premier saw the huge form of tie c .i'ier less than a Ijoat's length away, com" ing head on. The engines of both ships were stopped and the wheels swung hard aport, but it was too late to avert a colli sion. Knocked His Head Clean Off. The Willamette's liow struck the Premier on the iort side at the companion way just opimsite the pilot house, crashing through into the smoking room where over twenty men were seated about the whist tables. The prow of the collier passed through the room like a knife, and entered the main cabin Wyond. splintering the whole side of the ship. Johannes Moe was struck by a flying tiniler just as the bow of the collier came through the hull of the Premier, and his head was knocked flat against the other wall twenty feet away, where it was after ward found among the debris. John Ran kin, a waiter on the Premier, was standing in the door of the smoking room, and was pinioned ln-tween the Kiw of the invading ship and the timber, his IkxIv being horribly mangled. Saw His Hoy Meet Death. Frank Wynkoop, 13 years old, was stand ing by the chair of his father, who was playing whist, and he was struck by the low of the boat and killed bMire'tbe eyes of his father, who was Itadly bruid trying to reach out ior him. How William Rich ardson was ki'led is unknown. How Sinking Was Averted. The Willamette' then steamed ahead, carrying the wrecked steamer with her across to Bush Point, where lxth were beached in twenty-four f-et of water. The tug Goliath, passing with a lumber schoon er, was signaled and tried for hours to part the two vessels, but they were firmly wedged. TRAGEDY AT TERRE HAUTE.
