ARE TO FIX BOUNDARY LINE

—' . ' " « International Commission of Prominent Mon Havo Boon Assigned to Important Task. The Turco-Perslan boundary has heretofore been one of the problematical features on the map of Asia. Aa far back as 1843, a mixed commission attempted to define this frontier with only partial success, and since that time repeated efforts have been made by the great powers aa well aa the two countries immediately concerned, to complete the task, but the boundary has remained rather a zone of debatable territory than a definite line. Finally in November of last -year, a complete understanding on the subject was reached, and a protocol was signed In Constantinople in accordance with which a commission consisting of British, Russian!, Turkish and Persian delegates will undertake a survey of the boundary. This is expected to require at least 18 months, and will doubtless be productive of interesting geographical results.
