"It is true," he said, w hen shown the dispatch frOM Port l ow iiscud. qr.oliug a Icputy I luted States marshal assaying, ill effect, that the I nited States WOO Id assume control over that section, thill the location of the line between the two countries has not yet been formally accepted, but the localiou has been very definitely determined. The nue hundred and forty-first uieridiuu was designated as the boundary I 'tween Russia and Crent Iii i tain, ami nothing remained after our acceptance

of that understanding but to locale the meridian. The location was made on the north at Porcupine river by our surveyors, aud iu the vicinity of the Yukon by the Canadians under Ogilvie,

and their work was there checked by our men. We found that where Ogilvie s line crossed Korty-Mile creek it

was In-1M of a second, or six feet and nine inches, too far east, and when it crossed the Yukon it w as 14 seconds, or CIS feet, tx far west. '"Thus it may be seen that the line ; us located hy Ogilvie is substantially ' correct. There is no possibility of an error the correction of wnich could ' place the new gold region iu American territory. At the nearest point Dawson City is .Vi miles on the Cuualiau side of the Ogilvie line. "If the treaty now before the senate providing for fixing the boundary is ratified, a commission will be appointed i to perform this duty. It is considered j more than probable that the Ogilvio survey will be accepted.

At the postotlice department it is stated that the offioa of superintendent of mails, which Woods is seeking to keep, is uniformly filled by details of employes of the railroad mail service.
