David Mills Thinks the Rule of “What We Have We’ll Hold” Applies in the Boundary / Dispute. e Spectal Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C, Oct. 6.—Speaking at a mass meeting on the Alaskan boundary question, Hon. David Mills, Minister of Justice of Canada, said: “While we are prepared to make con- cessions in regard to trade and to estab- lishing a friendly feeling we are unwilling to surrender any portion of Canada to the United States. I have no desire that the people of this country undertake to ac- | quire territory that does not belong to them, but I would like to adopt the rule | that ‘what we have we'll hold." “In 1824 the question arose between Rus- sia and Great Britain in regard to the lo- cation of the boundry between the fishing | that Russia had and the trading | posts of England in the interlor. The | question was in regard to the territory | north of 54.40. All south of 54.40 was ad- | mitted to be the property of the United | States, and the treaty of 1824 was made | for the purpose of drawing a line between the territory of Russia and Great Britain. The treaty does not refer to anything | south of 54.40. All it deals with is the ter- | ritory north of that latitude. The treaty provides that the boundary begin at the extremity of Prince of Wales Island and | from there up Portland channel to where tne 56th parallel touches the shore. But ascending Portland channel the direction | is not northward, but eastward, and it | would be strange if Portland channel was intended. To ascend northward to where | the 56th paraliel touches shore one would have to ascend Claren. ‘here there is a point where the parallel touches water. There is no such point on Portiand nnel. Then the boundary is | to follow the line of the coast range no matter how high or how low the range may be. But if the range recedes from more than thirty miles, then the | boundary is to be drawn at thirty miles. There are points where it cuts through the mountains. According to international law, I say you do not go around such arms, but from the crests on one side to | the other. The treaty also provides that | ships of each nation have a right to trade | |in the waters for a period of ten years. | | If the American contention that the lin passes around each arm be correct there would be no water in British territory, | and that clause would be absolute non- sense. “According to the treaty the line must | be drawn so as to leave some portion of | the sea in British territory. We off i a compromise, auowing th to have Dyea and baaguay and give u Pyramla harbor. They sald ‘No, we will | not compromise, and we cannot arbitrate, | for tk bitrators might decide against | us. Give us everything in dispute and we will arbitrate the inder. | avor of a fair and just ng nothing we do not belle nd If mistaken arbitrat will | ainst us and we are tent. | | But we are never content to have our ter- | Iy squatted upon and held by squat- | right of few standing.” GRAND COUNCIL OF PORTUGUESE ADJOURNS | Important Change Regarding the Is- suance of Life Insurance Policies.

ABALONE FISHING CHECKED. | Ordinance Adopted by Monterey’s | Board of Supervisors. MONTEREY, Oct. 6.—The Board of Supervisors of Monterey County has just passed an ordinance prohibiting any com- pany or corporation from catching aba- lone shellfish for the purpose of curing or shipping out of the county except along the coast line between a line drawn due west from the Carmel River and the southern boundary line of Monterey County, and mi\klnF it unlawful to flsh for abalone except in deep water and by means of diving apparatus or other deep sea devices.

The Dewey celebrations prove that, and it is again forcibly demonstrated in the praise and confl- dence which Is accorded to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, one of the most meritorious remedies ever compounded for indigestion, constipation, dyspepsia, biliousness, liver or kidney disease or any trouble arising from a weak stomach.

SAUSALITO, Oct. 6.—Dan Slinkey, the local poundmaster, who has the rec- ord of killing more dogs than any other man in California, came within a hair's breadth of losing his life in the waters of the bay last#night, and the fact that he is still in the land of the living Is due to a dog—a poor, miser- able little cur that Slinkey should have killed weeks ago if he had followed strictly the rules laid down by the ordinance. But for some reason—Slinkey now inclines to the opinion that it was fate—he spared the dog simply be- cause it looked so lonely and miserable that he had not the heart to put an end to the creature’'s life. The poundmaster now thanks his lucky star he didn’t, for it he had a watery grave would have been his portion. Last night Slinkey came over on the late boat from San Francisco, closely followed by the yellow dog, which has never forsaken him since he spared its life and gave it a good meal. As the boat docked Dan got headed in the wrong direction, and instead of walking off the boat upon the slip ambled off the other end into the bay. As soon as he hit the water the dog heard the splash and ran to the edge of the boat. Seeing its friend struggling in the water the dog uttered a howl and darted back to the restaurant of the boat, where a number of deckhands were congregated. By howling and whining and running a short distance away, only to return and make more signs of distress when it perceived that it was not followed, the faithful brute man- aged to notify the deckhands that something was wrong. They followed it to the end of the boat and saw Slinkey floundering in the water. It was the work of a few moments to procure a rope and drag the unfortunate pound- master out of his predicament. He was so weak wlien he reached the deck of the boat that he sank down exhausted. Dan now freely admits that he owes his life to the dog as well as the dog its existence to him, and here- after will see that it never lacks protection if he has to pay its license out of his own pocket. Two years ago Slinkey was found lying close to the railroad track with his arm crushed. He had evidently been struck by a train and hurled to one side of the track instead of being thrown under the wheels of the engine. He has also had a number of other narrow escapes from a violent death.
