The secretary of the treasury takes the same position. The report on the investigation which the commission forwarded to the Treasury de- partment says that from May 14, 1902, to May 1, 108, the number of unclassified Iaborers in the mint was increased out of all proportion to the amount of unclassified work; that the commission's eligible list had been largely lgnored and unclassified employes appointed without examination and assigned to classified work, and that such appointments and assignments have been for political and personal reasons.

He said he viewed the present situa- tion with more satisfagtion than any which had confronted the party in fifteen years. That the republican party s pre-eminently bne of progress-is shown by the present move toward unification. ‘The lack of har- mony In the past be attributed to the man- ner of selecting candidates, which 18 ob- viated by the new fules.

Mr. Rosewater went on to say that the campaign was pecullar inasmuch he had ceased to be an {ssue and s only par- tlally a candldate, yccording to the “demo- TepO-popo” press. But hewas still charged With belng partially a candidate for the supreme court bench and several district court judgships. He had noted that his candidacy for three or four places on the district bench had been coupled with. re- flections upon the competency. and capacity of the gentlemen he is alleged to represent. Two men_described as . pernicious politi- clans, A. L. Sutton and W. Q. Sears, had never been connected In any way with the local machine so far as he has known. The campaign was grotesque for other reasons as well, Mr. Rosewater sald, and he described what he called a heretofore unheard of thing in' politice—the submis- sion by Judge Dickinson of his name to a republican convention and after defeat, nomination from the demo- crats. Later he.appeared before the Eighth ward republican club- to. solicit votes. *“For hrazen audacity: Judge Dickinson has 1o peer- .in the .country” said the speaker. “I don't belleve this performance will be repeated.” sven t “I have heen.asked what. pledges I have exacted trom. the judicial nominees.

Messrs. Ayles- worth and Jette] the Canadian commission- ers, refused to sign. ' The decision grasts all the American con- tentions with the exception of the one re- lating to the Portland carial. The #igna- tories wereé Lord Chiet Justice Alverstone and Benator Lodge, Senator Turner and Becretary Root, the American commission- ers. They constituted a majority and en- sured finality. Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette carried their outspoken disapproval of the decisjon to the point of refusing to sign even that section of the decision giv Ing the Portland canal to Canada, and they emphasized thelr attitude by walking out of the cabinet room fn the Foreign office before the signatures of the others had been af- fixed to the historic document, which has already been printed and is ready for the session to be held tomorrow. The only thing remaining to be done at this session fe for the majority of the tribunal to com plete and sign the map which accompantes the decision anll which minutely determines the course of the boundary in aceordance with the American contentions contained in question No. 5. An engrossed copy of the decision also will be signed on Tuesday. The refusal of Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette to colnclde In Lord Alverstone's view was only known to a few persons here to- night, but at the Forelgn office and in high government circles it has created a_painful impression. There s no hope expressed that the Canadlan commissioners will re- consider their attitude and sign the en- grossed copy of the.decision which will stand as the international record of the tribunal's finding. . Explanation from Washington. WABHINGTON, Oet. 19.—An ‘apparent conflict fn -the information -from -Liomion and the announcement made by « -State department oflicial Baturday, respecting the agreement reached by the Alaskan boundary commissioners is explained here by the statement that the: London advices touch- ing the victory of, the American case on all points except as to the Portland canal are perfectly correet, but that the commission's decision was. not technically- final. becayse of Ita omission .to locate the ‘“mountain range," which was referred to In the orig- inal Russlan trety of cession.as a condis tional Mmit to the American claim. It fs sald, however, at the State department that this 18 not material, in view of the commis- slon’s decision that every inch of the shore line north of the Portland canal fs Amer- fcan territory, for whether the strip be only & mile wide or ten miles o forty milas wide the Canadians cannot reach the sea with- out crossing American territory. It is. stated that fn all probabllity a period of one year will be required to complete the work of dellmitation on the boundary line as provided in the - treaty. The -commissioners could not, in the nature of the' case, -un- dertake to make a practical survey. This work will be done by experts’ naméd by hoth - governmentd, the United States ahd Groat ;Britatn, and steps to-this end. will be taken as soon as the two governments are notified by the commission of the out- comg of its wark. Falrbanks Tells About Line, INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 19.—United States Benator Charles W. Fairbanks, who was one of the Ametican members of the joint commission which met in Quebec In 1508 to consider the Alaskan boundary question, and who has given long and careful study to the points Involved, gave tonight an explanation of the dispute over tife bound- ary and a brief outline of the subject. He sald. The decision of the Alaskan beundary commission is merely a recognition of the rights of the Unifed Btates which they purchased from Ruasia in 1807, In a treat tween Russia and Great Britain In 1825 the boundary between Britlsh America and Alaska was fixed and when the United States purchased Alaska it acquired the territory which helonged - to Russia and which ‘was defined in_the treaty of 1825 between Russia and Great Britain. Until the gold discoveries a few years ago there was. no Jispute between the ited Btates and Great Britaln as to the boundary. The disputed boundary line w. gubmltted o the United States. and Greus Britiin joint high commissipn which met dn Quebee ‘in_1598. Under the- treaty * the speaking generally, wgs thernmost bo t of Island and run thence up Portland c and ‘mainland to the fifty-sixth parallel of latitude, thence following. the summit of the mountains situated parallel, to t{w coast, but if there was no mountain the line should be mote ' than ten marine leagues from the coast, until a point near Mount 8t. Ellas, where it was: to. run north to the frozen ocean. (oundary e 0 t, Prince Cor . Wales line, The dispute with which the commission hag been concerned s the boundary south of Mt 8t. Ellas. The Américan contention was that under the treaty between Russia and Great Britain the latter was to be ex- cluded from an outlet to the ocean and that the coast ilne should follow around the heads of all the inlets, while the British contended that the line should run from headland to headland. TIf their contention had prevailed Skagway, Dyea and other settlements many miles' from the mouths the inlets would have fallen into Brit- {sh territory. Under the decision these be- 0 the United States, as we 'have contended. There was some ground of dispute as to the line entering Portland canal. The canals mentioned in connection with the boundary, It should be understood, are natural and not artificlal waterways. They .are very deep and in some pl very wide, The entrance to Portland is In north latitude 6, north latitude 40 being the northern boundary of Canada on he Pacific coast. Lying at the mouth of he canal are two Islands, known as Wales and Pearse islands. The American conten- tion was that the line entered the canal on the southeast side of these islands, while the British contended that it lay along the northwest side of them. There Is an ample waterway on either “side, While I was in Alaska in 1889 examining the boundary I went up the northwest side of the islands and came down the south- east side. The islands are covered with timber. ‘They are comparatively small and are of little commerelal importance. The decision of the houndary commission is substantially in accordance with the uni- form claim of the United States commission at both Quebec and Washington. The deci- slon is by mo means a surprise to those who have critically examined the suhfect The correspondence hetween Russia and Great Britain &t the time the treaty of 152§ was negotiated and the maps which have been f{ssued by the cartographers of tho United States, Great Britain, Canada and other countries recognited the country as clalmed by the United Btates.
