The Territory of Lincoln will have as its southeastern boundary point Mount St. Elias.

The bound- ary of the south will follow the sixty- second parallel east to the Copper Riv— er, where it will cut down to] Mount St. Elias. ‘ .

Within the new territory would be the rich placers of the Yukon as far as the boundary line. It would also include the numerous settlements and trading posts from St. Michael’s to Circle City, aggregating a population at present of over 3,000 whites and 8,000 natives. The town of Weave, situated on the, Yukon, about half way between Dawson City and St. Michael’s, (has been chosen for the capital of the proposed territory. Five Killed and Others Hurt.

'Washington, Oct. 15.-—Comrnissioner of Pensions H. Clay Evans has com— pleted the report of the doings of his bureau for the past fiscal year, and the results, which will be made public in full in a few days, will prove to be anything but gratifying to the taxpay- ers, who have been vainly. hoping for years that the great burden of pension payments had reached its highest point and would soon begin to decrease rap- idly. Mr. Evans finds that this is not so, although he holds out the hope that the burden will begin to grow smaller within a year or two; but even this, it appears, may not be true, unless there is some legislation provided to keep from swelling the pension lists with long-lived young widows as fast as the 01d soldiers drop off, under the pension law of 1890. “I’m going to try to get Congress to put a stop to the present opportunities which the law offers to women to se- cure pensions for life from the United States by marrying an old soldier," said Commissioner Evans to-day, “by recommending some important pension legislation. The practice of women of securing pensions in this manner is homes young women will snap up the chance to marry decrepit old men, evi- dently hoping that they will soon die and leave the pension, and in many of these cases the women do not even live with the men they marry. “I hope to recommend to Congress that a law be passed providing that women marrying soldiers hereafter shall not be entitled to any pension upon the death of their husbands. The law of 1890 makes this stipulation re- garding the pensions which are pay- able under that act, but the great ma- jority of the pensioners now on the rolls draw their money by virtue of previous acts". ' Mr. Evans said that he expected the proposed law would meet with much opposition from the Grand Army men, honor of Miss Cisneros, the little Cuban patriot, is to be held at Delmon- ico’s to-morrow evening, and after- ward there will be a great public dem- onstration in Madison Square. As the ward of the nation, Miss Cisneros will receive the leading men of the coun- try.

Ingersoll, Bourke Cochran, Thomas C. Platt, Murat Halstead, former Am- bassador Eustis, Judge Van Wyck, Senator Thurston, Rabbi Gottheil, Henry George, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mrs. Gertrude Van Courtland Hamilton, Regent of the Daughters of the Revolution, and scores of other equally distinguished men and women. Speeches of welcome will be made in Madison Square, and the two bands of the Seventh Regiment and the Six- ty-ninth Regiment will play through- out the great demonstration.
