ALASKA'S BOUNDARY
REPORT OF THE CHIEF OFCOAST
AND GEODETIC SURVEY.
General Duffleld and Mr. King, the
Canadian Itepreseniatlve, Meet at
Albany ami Compare Notes 1'laln
as If Keeoriled by Deeds and Maps
Washington, Jan. 4. General Duf
field, chief of coast and geodetic aur
rey, today presented to tbe secretary of
state the report oil the Aluska boundary,
which was agreed on by him and the
Canadian representative, Mr. King, at
Albany this week. The report will
not be made public until transmitted
to congress, bnt it shows a practical
agreement between the surveys of the
two governments, and may have tbe
effect of partially quieting the appre
hension of trouble over the boundary.
Tbe greatest difference between the
lines run by the engineers of tbe two
governments is only six feet aud seven
inches, or fifteen seconds of longitude.
In view of the two surveys, Oeneral
Duffleld does not hesitate to express
tbe opinion that there can be no dis
pute between the United States and
Canada over the boundary. He said:
"The line is as plain from the treaty
as though it had been recorded by
deeds and maps."
The two commissioners who met at
Albany, had no authority to fix the
boundary, but only to recommend from
the results which had been reached the
lines to be definitely established. The
ratification of their work remains for
another joint committee, and Secretary
Olney will doubtless recommend to
congress an act for the appointment of
a oommiKsioner to represent tne um tea
States for this purpose.
General Duffleld is confident that the
British can find no grounds upon which
to base a claim to tbe gold fields of the
Yukon river, since a British engineer,
Oglesby, in 1893, after a very direful
observation, marked the banks of the
Yukon and Forty-Mile oreek, where
these streams are crossed by the 141st
meridian, and bis marks were verified
by the United States survey. The only
possible ground for contention General
Duffleld forsees is furnished by that
phrase of the Russian-British treaty
that at no point shall the boundary be
more than ten marine leagues from the
shore. The United States government
interprets this to mean continental
leauires. while England might oontend
that ten leagues from the island shore
was contemplated a oonstruotion
which would deprive the United States
of a valuable strip of territory, if bus
tained.
IN BEHALF OF ARGENTINE.
Senate Asked to Exclude It Ftom the
Workings of the Mew Tariff.
Washington, Jan. 8. Senator Voor
hees has presented to the senate a com
munication from Senor J. V. Doinin
guep, charge d'aff airs of the Argentine
legation, beaTing upon tne relations be
tween Argentine and the United States
as affected by the tariff. It relates to
the proposed tariff on wool under.;. the
house revenue tariff bill, and, in order
that there shall not be any interrup
tion of the good feeling now existing,
and to avoid disturbing the commercial
relations between the two countries, I he
asks whether it could not be suggest
ed, in considering the bill,- that the
proposed duty should be made to ap
ply only to oountries other than South
American. He says the only importa
tions from South America are compar
atively small, and instanoes the state
ment of the National Woolgrowers'
Association that their chief complaint
is against Australian wools, and sug
gests that all desired ends oould be ao-
oomplished by exempting South Ameri
can oountries from the operations of
the bill. He adds: "In this way rela
tions with a sister republio would not
be affected, and the Argentine Republio
would supply, in a moderate degree,
tbe wants of this market, while that
country oould continue to expand her
exportf. '
Dominguez calls attention to tne fact
that the principal Europeaen nations
admit South Amrican wool free of duty
and asks how, if congress desires
friendly and close relations between
this country and other American states,
it oan pass a measure whioh will ex
clude from this market the chief
product of one of the South American
countries? After some debate the com
munication was referred to the com
mittee on finance.
A Denial From New York.
; New York, Jan. 2. Regarding the
article in the Portland Oregonian today
forecasting a possible crisis in the
Northern Pacific receivership contro
versy, it is said by local representatives
of the Northern Pacific interests that
the article had little basis in fact, and
merely evidenced the feeling of the
far Western interests oonoerning the
apparent inability of the courts to
agree on a single body of receivers for
the system. The hitherto unsuccess
ful efforts of the Farmers' Loan &
Trust Company to effect a settlement
of the existing difficulties, however,
have not destroyed the hope of adjust
ment in tbe near future, and tbe plan
now under discussion is regarded as
likely to reach a more successful issue.
The Debs Case.
Cincinnati, Jan. 3. President. E V.
Debs, of tbe American Railway Union,
came under the jurisdiction of Judge
Taft, of thenited States court, dur
ing tbe great railroad striks of 18U4,
and the proceedings are not yet ended.
Today, tbe demurrer of Debs and his
associate directors, Howard and Rog
ers, in the contempt proceeding, was
overruled and an order was issued
directing Debs and associates to file an
answer within 10 days. Debs may yet
have to endure another trial fur contempt
FORTUNE FOR CAMPBELL.
Ohio's Kx-fioveruor Said to Have
Mtruek It Rich" in California.
Columbus, 0., Jan. 2. From roll
abble sources it haa been ascertained
here that ex-Ueovruor Campbell has
recently "struck it rich" iu California
gold mines. The information, as it
comes from Captan Frank Barrett, for
merly of Lancaster, and now located
in tbe San Joaquin valley, Cal., is very
interesting.
Some years ago Captain Barrett con
cluded to leave Ohio and seek new
fields in the far West He purchased
a cattle ranch midway between San
Francisco and Los Angeles aud settled
there. While there be beard tbe legend,
which bad been handed down from the
Indians for half a century, that at a
point in the San Joaquin river, on his
ranoh, there wag a vast deposit of
gold. The story was that in a pool
formed by a natural dam iu the San
Joaquin, at the foot of the famous
Gold Gulch, from whioh many for
tunes had been taken, there were de
posits of the gold which the depth of
the pool had heretofore prevented any
thing like successful working. Lack
of water had prevented the full work
ing of the gulch itself, for the deposits
required piaoer mining, and it was
only when the spring Iresheta flushed
the valley that evidences of the gold
which had for years been swept to
ward the gulfs were obtainable.
Captain Barrett determined to work
that pool, and he returned to Ohio and
organized the Ohio Mining Company,
with $500,000 oapital, ana with Gov
ernor Campbell, Allen G. Thurman and
other Ohioans as stockholders. Gov
ernor Campbell took one-eighth of
the stock. Barrett's plan was to build
another dam at the bead of the pool,
change the course of the stream, then
drain the first dam and secure its rich
doposi ta. Professional divers were first
secured to prospect the pool. The re
sult surpassed tbe wildest hopes. Gold
was brought up to the value of $10 a
pan. Then tbe construction of the dam
was begun. It was a tedious under
taking and it was only through the
summer drought that progress oould
be made. Tbe drainage of the pool
has just begun, but it already promises
to make fortunea for all the stock
holders. TO SETTLE RATE TROUBLES.
Western Lines to Bold Meetings In
Omaha and Denver.
Chicago, Jan. 3. Another effort is
about to be made to settle the rate
troubles in the West. A meeting has
been called of the Montana lines at
Omaha January 2, and if this in any
way suooteds in straightening put the
difficulties, a meeting will be held in
Denver on the following day. . This
seoond meeting will take up the ques
tion of Utah rates, and the differences
between the Union Paoiflo and. the
Denver & Rio Grande. The California
lines are having some trouble with their
passenger rates in connection with the
landseers excursions. Some of the
land agents who are working up the
business for these "excursions have ad'
vertised that they will ran free sloep
ing-oars from Cbioago to California,
The roads not engaged in the exour
sions claim the roads which are to
carry the sleepers are in connivance
with the land agents; while it is assert'
ed'on tbe other band that , tjie lines
running the excursions are receiving
full fare for all the excursionists they
handle.' The complaining lines threat
en to take action in the near , future
which will even up the rates which
they declare are being out to' the extent
of $15 for the free sleepers.
TRAINS COME TOGETHER, '
Two I'ersons Killed, Four Seriously and
Two Slightly Injured. .-
Cincinnati, Jan. 2. Two passenger
trains collided at 7:30 tonight on the
Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern rail
way, near Coal City, fourteen miles
from Cincinnati. They were the
Louisville express, whioh left this city
at 7:05 P. M., an the St. Louis accom
modation, due here at 7:05, but which
was an hour late. The first known of
the collision here was when the wreck
ing train was sent out about 8 o'clock,
accompanied by physicians, railway
Officials and others. Tbe Wildest
rumors were current The hospitals
were put in readiness and police head
quarters were promptly equipped for
the oare of the injured. When infor
mation was obtained from the scene
it was found that there were two per
sons killed and six injured. Both
engines were totally wrecked. The
combination car of the Louisville ex
press and the express car of the St
Louis train were telescoped.
Coal City is a coaling station on the
road and has no telephone. When the
engines were wrecked they knocked out
a telegraph pole wltn such force as
to out off all telegraphic communica
tion. Mestiengen arriving from tbe
scene of tbe wreck report that all of
the injured have been rescued and are
being cared for. Tbe killed are: Fire
man Wilson, of Louisville express; an
unknown man, buried under the wreck.

dation at the close of business today,
The railroads will largely increase

THE HOP INDUSTRY
LARGEST CROP IN THE COUNTRY
RAISED NEAR SEATTLE.
A Much Dlaeouraged Business Growers
liaising Tobacco With Satisfactory
Iteaults Latest Market tteports and
Future Outlook Motes.
Surrounding Seattle there is a vast
hop-growiug district whioh furnishes
the product that brings many hundred
thousand dollars annually into the
state, says tbe Times. Most of the
orop is handled by Seattle buyers. Hop
culture iu Washington dates from the
year 1800, when a peck of hop root
harvested a bale of bops which were
sold for eighty-five cents per pound.
This attracted attention to the indus
try aud resulted in further planting.
Each succeeding year has witnessed an
increase in production, culminating in
a crop of 60,000 bales, or nearly 9,000,
000 pounds.
Up to 1804 a fair prioe has been sc
oured for the hop produot of this state,
the price per pound ranging from
twelve to twenty-six cents. During
the past two seasons, however, over
production the world over resulted in
the price dropping to six and seven
ceuts. This fact has been very dis
couraging to the farmers, and during
the season of 1800 many hops were not
gathered. A return to normal condi
tions will mean a large aoreage in this
state and remunerative prices.
The hop ranches, whose products
pass through the hands of Seattle deal
ers, range in extent from three acres up
to !i20. The largest in Washington,
and it is said in the world, is known a
the Suoqualniie hop ranoh, 820 acres in
area. At Meeker there is a farm of
150 acres, while at Puyallup there are
three extensive ranches of eighty, seventy-live
aud seventy-two acres eaoh.
Aside from the vast number of laborers
regularly engaged in the cultivation of
the crop, during picking season, which
lasts during September aud part of
October, the fields are filled with from
10,000 to 15,000 pickers.
Tbe remarkable increase in hop pro
duction in the state of Washington has
been due entirely to the existing fa
vorable conditiods for the development
of thu branoh of agrioulture. The
deep, insist, friable, rich soil; the cool
nights, coupled with long days of sun
light; the certainty of summer rainfall;
the ease with whioh the loamy land
may be cultivated; the constant con
tinued growth unchecked from drought,
have all contributed to make tbe yield
large, the cost light, the orop oertain,
and the quality ohoioe. , . .
The best and most productive hop
lands must be selected only by practical
experience. The bulk of the orop of
Western Washington' at present is
grown in the valleys of the White,
Puyallup; Stuck, Skagit and Sno
homish rivers and on the 'Du'ngeness
bottoms. I'-In -i Eastern Washington,
where tbe climate is more like that of
New York, success has attended the
efforts of the hop farmers of the Yak
ima valley where that ajrejige is con
stantly increasing. From the Cascades
and the Olympics spring many streams,
forming HCh'Valleys adjadent to tide
Water. For oountlesa centuries has the
silt been .oomiug down the mountain
sides, and-, 'the-. process still, gqes ion,
vegetable growth .springing , up and
taking possession ,qf the newly made
land. ' This rich ajluviaj deposit is in
exhaustible and the hop roots penetrate
deep into th sdilto absorb the moisture.
The Latest Market Ileports.
Some sales, are made by holders in
ordor to realize' on other' stock, but
business on "the" whole is1 not aofve,
says the American (Agriculturist As
has been,' efforts are still made to force
prices below .quotations, but thus far
the tenacity of growers has kept the
market from, any material deoline.
Among holders in the city, however,
there is some' competition for brewers'
orders and concession s are made at
times to effect a trade. Export busi
ness is rather Blow at present, owing to
the . full supplies of American bops
already on. the English and European
markets. Growers as a rule are hold
ing their crops, . although here and
there a farmer sells out at such prices
as be can obtain. On the Paoiflo coast
the situation is much the same as at
this side of the country, while across
the water a fair movement is reported
for the choicest kinds, but poor grades
are neglected.
Lord Salisbury offers little encour
agement to English hop growers who
are asking protection. A delegation
last week urged that the government
readjust the duty on lasers, so as to en
courage the growth of English bops
and barley. Salisbury said that be
believed that public opinion in England
was not at all changed upon the ques
tion of protection, and this would not
be attained at any period during the
present generation.
Hop Notes.
Rangau, a the Grant's Pshs hop
raiser, has shipped a carload of splendid
hops to London. The invoice consisted
of ninety-one bales.
The Eugene Guard gives the follow
ing advice: "They are plowing up
their hops in England andJNew York.
That's good. Don't plow up yours."
Not long si lice one of Salem I hop
commission merchants telegraphed to
a New York bouse, says the Salem
Statesman, for an order on a certain
lot of hops and requested an immediate
answer. No reply came by wire, but
a few days later a letter was received
in which tbe following information
was imparted; "Am not in a position
at present to' make any offers. It is
very strange that none of my custom
ers are interested in Pacific coast hops,
and if they do not reverse their de
cision against them I am afraid that
we will bny your hops in the spring by
the bale and not by the pound."
both left the room, he went back and
permitted himself tbe satisfaction at
kicking tho thing gently in several
places.
Tho evening saw them both estab
lished at thoir desks. Tho horrid impos
sibility of it all struck upon Jones only
too soon. Ho had written the opening
chapter iu his best manner, and th
tiiuo caiuo when ho wanted to read it
out. To give her her due, his wife lis
tened eagerly, and did him full justice
when he ceased.
"And now listen to mine, " she said;
blitholy.
Jones felt it to be his own act and
deed, and he resigned hiinsolf to listen.
Her chapptor was really not badly writ
ten I Her ttyle was evidently modeled
on his own. Jones put his finger tips to
gether and smiled hopefully. But when
it came to her hero, alas I not only bad
bo "a comb at tho back of his head," as
Stevenson puts it, but bo was altogether
impossible. How to wipe him tenderly
out of the chapter without breaking of
hearts? Jones fidgeted distressfully.
"That's not quite the sort of thing a -man
would say, doar," he suggested
mildly.
"Oh, Isn't lt!" she answered, with
derision. "As it happens, a man did say
it those very words. Do you imagine
you know how every kind of man talks
to a woman when he's alone with her?"
"Heaven forbid I" said Jones. "And
who said it to you, may I ask?"
"I didn't say it was said to me," she
replied, with some haste. "How do you
like this ending? I think it's rather
neat, don't you? 'And when they hat!
both left the conservatory there was
something frail and pink lying on tho
murblo floor. It was a moss rose bud. ' I
rather admire that sort of ending. "
"Whore is the point?" inquired Jones.
"Oh, well, if you want poiuts to ev
ery singlo sentence"
"Well, but don't yon see that unless
you moan something by it there's no
sense at all in the thing? It's simply
Family Herald 'business. ' I should h70

"It's a matter of taste, and I differ
from you," said his wife very coldly,
"and if we are to pick holes in each
other's work allow me to tell you that
no lady would have behaved as your
beroino did iu that lutusonil"
"Why, that actually hap" began
Jones unwarily. ,
"I knew it I" cried his wife, overturn
ing the ink bottla "It was that day
you saw Kitty Cameron home from tho

Jones was enraged, but saw a possi-

"leader" the other day to the memory
of Boswell, whose ,doa.th'..topk place a

Thanksgiving approached, the honest,
farmer killed both turkeys, and by plac

turkey made him weigh more than bis
