TWE BOTH COUNTRIES WANT 17| England and the United States Ulaim Pope's Folly Island. QUITE VALUABLE IN TIME OF WAR ®wo Commissioners Representing Both Interests Expreted to Scttle tho Ques- tion in a Short Time—Marking Alaska’s Boundary, WasnixaTox, June 18,—Prof. T. C. Men- dennall of the const and geological survey on the part of the United States, and Com- missioner King on the part of Great Britain, will shortly leave Washington to determine the vexed question as to which country is the legal owner of Pope's Folly island, near tho waters of the boundary line between the United States and Canada, off the coast of Maine. The possession of this fsland has been in dispute for the last cen tury, but is now in a fair way to settlement The discovery has just been made by Prof. Mendenhall that the first chart issued by Great Britain, showing the boundary line be- tween the United States and Canada, give the former country the island, but a subse- nent chart includes it in Canadian territory, he island is not so valuable in time of peace, but in case of war, would be a decided advantage to the country possessing it. In view of his latest discovery that the §sland, according to the chart of Great Brit- ain, was conceded to the United States, the professor belicves he will have no trouble in settling the vexed question in favor of the United States. With this question settled, the only other imrortant one pending bes tween the United ‘States and Great Britain §s the determinoiion and marking of the boundary line botween Alaska and the Brit- ish poss The party which left here in March been unable to accomplish much.

This is an out- come of the trouble which arose over the un- paid fees in the extradition case of Harris Blank and Carl Rosewig. There was a good exeuse for fees in this case not being paid by the United States. For justance, the judee who sat on the case in Montreal is said to have charged $§20 per day. The statute docs not make provision for such charge. In fact, it is a direct violation of a judge's commission to make any charge In a case upon which he sits. Magistrates and commissioners are different in this respect. It _appears that the United States consul general at Montreal inquired into these un- paid fees and discovered there was no ley authority for charging them.
