Mw-._wua~ laslau ilwaai Made i’uiilin Canadian Commisswners ile'iused to Sign the Award ‘ ‘Siate lhey will With- draw from the commission IDNDON, October 20——ln conse- quence of the attitude lllunlttillf‘li by the Canadian commissioners. Lord Chief Justice Alverstonc decided this morning not to hold the proposed pub- lic meeting of the Alaskan Boundary commission, but to hand its decision to Messrs. Foster and Sliton, I'cspcctiVe agents or the American and Canadian governments. The Canadian commissioners not on- ly declined to sign the award, but said ‘they woud publicly withdraw from the commission. They, as well as all the Canadians connected with the case. are very bitter. Telegrams from Prc- ‘ mier Lahrier and other prominent per- sons in Canada. show that this senti- ment is shared generally throughout the Dominion. The Alaska award relating to the Portland Canal. gives the United Statcs two islands, Kannaghunut and Sitklnn, commanding the entrance of the Port- lsnd channel and the ocean passage to Port Simpson and destroying the strat- egic value of Wales and Pcurse Islands, which are given to Canada. The mountain line adopted at the ,boundary lies so far from the coast as to give the United States substantially all the territory in dispute. The line completely clears all the bays and iii- lets and~ means of access to the sea, giving the United States a complete land barrier between Canada and the sea, from the Portland Canal to Mount St. Elias, Around -the head of the Lynn Canal the line follows the watershed, some- what in accordance with the present provisional boundary. Messrs. Jette and Ayleswortli, tho Canadian Commissioners. made a . statement regarding the award. as fol- lows: “The decision of the Alaska Bound- ary Tribunal has been givru. and in view of its character the people of Can- ada are, in our judgment entitled to such explanation from us as will en- able them to comprehend fully the manner in which their interests have been dealt with. We take tip the points of the decision in the order in which they are presented by the treaty under‘which the tribunal was consti- tilted: First~The Portland Canal. There are two channels parallel with each other, with tour islands between them. The Canadian contention was that the northern channel should be adopted. The United States contended for the southern channel. 0n the result of the decision depended the possession of the four islands, Kannnghunut. Sitklan. Wales and Pearse, When the Tribunal met after the argument and considered this question, the view of the three _ British commissioners was that the Canadian contention was absolutely unnmwerable. A memorandum was prepared and read to the commission- 9113. embodying our views and showing . it‘to be beyond dispute that the Can- adian contention in this branch of the case should prevail. and the boundary should run to the northward of the tom Gentlemen Eyou demo 3 clean beautiful WWO?! five from pintples. blackheads or wrinkles. get a facial massage at A i’ohlman.

Either the torn islands belong to Canada or belong to the United States, in the award Lord Al- verstone agrees with the United States commissioners that the islands should be divided. giving the two which possess the strategic value to the lTIIit- I-d States. "SI-I-onIi——The line northward from Portland (‘hanIieL Substantially Ihc Canadian contention regarding this line was that there are mountains par— allel with the, coast. within the mean- ing of the treaty of 1825. and that the tops of such mountains should be de- clared the boundary. the mountains nearest the sea being taken. The l,‘nltI~Il States contention was that there are no mountains parallel with the must, within the meaning of the trou- Iy, and that the boundary must there- iorc be fixed under the provision of the original treaty relating to ten leagues, and so be run a distance of thirty-live miles from the shore, including in the term 'sliorc‘ the heads of all inlets. buys, etc. The tribunal iiiids that the Canadian contention is correct as to the. existence of the mountains within the terms of the treaty. but the fruits of victory have been taken front (‘IIn- adu by fixing as a luouritain line a row of mountains so far from the coast as to give the United States substantially nearly all the territory in dispute." Messrs, Jolie and Ayleswortli will submit their contrary opinions to the tribunal, so as to go ofiicially on record, and while they declined to sign the award they signed the maps agreed on by the majority.

Answer—4119 majority of the Tribunal have selected the line (it peak starting at the head of Portland Canal and running along the high mountains. on the outer edge or the mountains, shown on the maps of survey made in 1893. extending to Mount Whipple and thence along what is knowu‘as the Hunter line. of 1878. crossing the Stikine River, about twenty-four miles from its mouth, thence northerly along the high peaks to Kate's Needle, from Kate‘s Needle to the Devil's Thumb. The tribunal statIIl that there was not sufficient evi- dence, owing to the absence 01‘ a com- pletc survey to identify the mountains which correspond to these intended by the treaty. This contemplates a furth- er survey of that portion by the two governments. From the vicinity of Devil‘s Thumb the line runs to the con- tinental water shed, thence through White and Taiya, or Chilkoot Passes. westerly to a mountain, indicated on the map attached to the treaty as 6,850 feet. thence to another mountain 5,800 feet and from that point in a somewhat curved line acrosas the head of the glaciers to Mount Fulrweather. This places the Canadian outpost on the upper water 01 Chilkat river in British territory and the mining camps of Porcupine and Glacier Creek in American territory. From Mount Fairwesther the line passes north on high peaks along the mountains indi- cated on the map by Mounts Pints. Ruhama and Vancouver to Mount St. Elias."
