MR MACRUM'S CHARGES.
The New York Yellow Journal Says He
Has Substantiated Them.
NEW YOKK. Feb. 20. A special to
the Journal and Advertiser from Wash
ington says:
Charles E. Macrum, late consul at
Pretoria, furnishes proof of his charges
that United Slates official nail was
opened by the British censor. Mr. Mac-rum
has several envelopes, each bear
ing the British sticker applied to the
envelope after It had been opened by
the censor. He has one envelope w hlch
contained mail matter from Consul
General Stowe, at Cape Town. It Is
the regulation blue of the consular ser
vice. It bears upon its face the legend
"l nlted States Consular Service" and
a Btamp "Mail Suspended." On the re
verie side is the I'nlted States govern
ment seal lmpntrd upon the red seal
ing wax of the consular service. The
& British sticker, resealin the letter af
ter it had been opened l-ears the poten
tial initials -V. IV the initials of the
clerk who opened the letter, the name
of the place where it was opened. This
letfr was mailed at Cape Town Octo
ber 4th. by Consul General Stowe. It
was held there one month, apparently,
for the next postmark is that of Dur
ban, dated November 4th. From Dur
ban It was sent to Pretoria and reached
Mr. Macrum In Its mutilated form. The
circulars to consuls Issued by the de
partment, are not In themselves Im
portant, but nevertheless . "Official
Mail" never reacned Mr. Macrum.
They were confiscated without apology
or explanation by the British censor.
As for Mr. Macrum' s personal mail, he
never heard of It
The British authorities are familiar
with the American consular code. On
November 8. Mr. Macrum sent a cable
gram In code to the state department,
urgently requesting that he be permit
ted to come home. Csuaily, table
grams, because of the difference In
time between South Africa and this
country, consume two days in trans
mission that is to bay, the cab! sent
by Mr. Macrum on No .-ember 8 would
normally have been received by the
state department on November 10. But
on November 9, before the cablegram
was received by the state department,
certainly and before It was sent from j
South Africa, the British papers j
in Natal, hundreds of miles away,
Announced in Impressive type that Mr.
Macrum, the American consul at Pre
toria, desired to be permitted to go
home.

Th character of the charges made
by Major Arthur cannot be learned,

THK ALASKA BOl'NDAKY.
Warning to the United States to Be
ware of Hasty Adjustment
With England.
NEW YORK. Feb. 20. President T,
C. Mendenhall, of the Worcester, Mass
Polytechnic Institute, formerly head of
the United States Geological Survey, de
livered a lecture last night In Chlcker-
Ing hall before the Army Geographical
Society on the "Alaskan Boundary."
In IS?-'. Dr. Mendenhall was a member
of the commission that surveyed the
line which this country contends di
vides the northern possessions from the
Canadian Northwest Territory.
He said:
"We are exceedingly lax in accurate
ly fixing our boundaries and in our dis
putes over them naturally with Eng
landon the whole we have lost. The
trouble has been lack of diplomatic
training and the difference of the peo
ple. In 1S6T, when we bought Alaska
from Russia, the same language was
used in the treaty as In that between
Great Britain and Russia in 1825. and
it is ambiguous. The boundary of
Lower Alaska was to run from the
summit of mountain ranges parallel
with the coast, never more than ten
marine leagues, or about thirty-five
sutu'e miles, from the coast. There is
no range of parallel mountains, so the
line nr.ist be located by leagues. Great
Britain has contended that the coast
means the coast of the islands. In that
c&ae she would have all of the coast
line. Lately she has given up 'hat
claim, but seeks to get a harbor, most
probably Pyramid harbor. Then. I
personally believe, she wishes to secure
a naval base. Already she has in Es
quimau on Vancouver island, onir of
the strongest stations in the world, far
ahead of anything we have. Should
she control southeastern Alaska
through kt other key, she would have
chief command of the Pacific.
"Lately, both nations have been too
busy with more important Immediate
troubles, but within a few years the
Alaskan boundary question will have
to be settled. I hope the American
people will not, from sentimental or
any other reasons, surrender what is
theirs by right and what, until the
presence of precious metals in the re
gion was discovered, they possessed
without dispute. But if they submit it
to arbitration they will again lose val
uable territory, for they will have to
cont.-nd against men of the highest
diplomatic training, the most faithful
devotion to duty that the world has
yet kuown, and men, who, vhen their
nation's pride Is at stake, are absolute
ly regardless of every principle of hon
esty. Justice and International law."
ARMV REORGANIZATION.
Summary of the New Bill to Be Intro
duced by Chairman Hull.
NEW TORK. Feb. 20. The Tribune's
Washington correspondent gives the
following summary of the' army reor
ganisation bill, Introduced In the house
by Chairman Hull:
The bill provides for:
First. The amalgamation of line and
staff with the eventual abolition of the
stalT organization.
Second. For the permanent staff
corps it substitutes a staff composed of
officers detailed for merit from the line
for four years, ineligible to succeed
themselves until they have returned to
the line at least one year.
Third. All officers at present in the
staff are compelled to serve in the line
one year In five.
Fourth. It practically establishes a
general staff, which, though dominat
ing the army, is composed altogether of
line officers selected for ability; after
competition before boards of officers.-"
Fifth. Chiefs of staff bureaus, In
stead of lingering for iife in authority,
are appointed for four years end may
be retired or removed at the pleasure
of the president precisely as they are In
the navy.
Sixth. An artllery corps In the line
Is ere i ted. Its strength Is to be raised
by gradual transfers from other arms
of the service.
Seventh. One out of ev ry three pro
motions In the regimental grades will
be made by selection for merit.
Elgth. Instead of post chaplains.
every regiment will have Its own chap
lain.
Ninth.-By section li any staff corps
may be abolished by the president.
The bill follows closely the recom
mendations made by the eor'tary of
war In his annual report two months
ao. Its features Include all that ttp
pear to be feasible at the present time,
the Intention being that, with this much
accomplished by legislation, tie way
will be opened and made easier for
such other Improvements as will per
hai develop its desirable.
Adjutant-General Corbln made the
following running comment on the pro
position: "The bill provides that one-third of
the promotions between the rank of
captain and brigadier-general shall bo
made by selection. This Is to enable
the president to reward specially gal
lant nnd meritorious services and It
appeals alike to the service and the
country nnd vet maintains in a reason
able degree promotion by seniority.
It recognises length as well as special
fitness of service and Its provisions are
so guarded that only the most deserv
ing shall receive special recognition un.l
in no case be the creatures of personal
or political InUrventlon. The bill gives
the president control of file tenure of
off.ee of the heads of staff departments
and he can, by and with the advice and
consent of the senate, make a new
head of a department at any time when
In his Judgment the efficiency of th
serve- would be Increased thereby. the
officer relieved being transferred to
the retired list. This p'aces the army
staff on about the same footing as the
heads of the navy staff departments.
The only Immediate result under this
provision probably would be the retire
ment of General Eagun. commissary-
general, now under suspension. In the
adjutant-general's and inspector-general's
departments there will be no fur
ther appointments but by deiall from
the next lower grade of the line for a
term of five years.
The quartermaster's and subsistence
departments, the ordnance and signal
corps, are to be filled by recommenda
tions of boards of officers appointed to
ascertain the records and fitness of of
ficers. These provisions for details do
not Interfere with the tenure of officers
now on the regular staff departments
or with their promotions, as now pro
vided bv law. They will, however.
serve one year in five with such branch
of the line as the secretary of war may
designate. This Insures all naving ex
perience with troops of the line and
keeping the line and staff of the army
In close touch and sympathy.
The reorganisation of the ar.lllery
is based on advanced Ideas, largely in
use in other countries and urgently
all-d for by our present system of
sea coast artillery defences. It Insures
the care of the heavy ordnance and the
training of officers and men to handle
those guns In active service. The In
crease of the artillery will be made by
distribution of men from other arms
of the service and will not Increase the
present unlisted strength of the army."
