The Canadian Commissioners not only | declined to sign the award, but said they withdraw from the com- | mission. They, as well as the Canadians connected with the case, are very bitter.

W were powerless to prevent it, though satisfied that the course which the majority was de- termined to pursue in respect to the matters above specially referred to ignored the just rights of Canada. The Canadians almost openly accuse Lord Alvertsone of partisanship. When the latter presented them to King Ed- ward at Buckingham Palace yesterday the King endeavored vainly to induce Jette and Aylesworth to say they were satisfled | or that they accepted the situation, but the two Canadians declined to in any way express acquiescence with this view. They simply shook hands formally and | bowed. One of the Canadian Commissioners afterward sald: This award affects more the relations be- tween the Dominlon and the mother country than people here scem to realize and almost marks the parting of the ways—at least so far as leaving any such question for England to decide for us. A Canadian who has been most inti- mately and prominently assoclated with the Alaskan case sald: It is the hardest blow the imperfal tic has ever received. The place Lord Alverstone filied was clearly that of agent for the British Gov- ernment. It will be & shock to the. Cansdian people to know thaf, uotwithstanding all pro- fessions of ‘riendship and sympaihy, the sol- emn formalities of the Internacional Court have been used simply for the purpose of band- - = territory to the United States. Canada bas not only been spontan- eous, but zealous in defense of British ter- ritory, and has not hesitated to sacrifice blood and treasure in deferse of the motherland. She must now face the fact that, when im- perial interest or friendshir require it, her ferritory may be handed cver without the slightest hesitation. This marks the most seri- ous epoch in the relations between Canada and the mother country. &, DIGEST OF THE DECISION. Tribunal’s Answer to the Seven Ques- tions in Contention. LONDON, Oct. 20.—The following is an official digest of the Alaskan decision. The seven questions submitted to the arbi- trators were: 1 What is intended as the point of cow- O What chanmel ls the Portiand Channel? 3 What course should the line take from the polnt of commencement to the entrance to Portland Channel? 4. What point on the Afty-sixth parallel coast and therefrom not more than ten marine leagues, was it the intention and meaning of said convention of 1825 that there should re- main in the exclusive possession of Russia & continuous fringe or strip.of coast on mainland not exceeding ten marine leagues in width, separating the British possessions from the bBaye, ports, inlets, havens and waters of the ocean and extending from the said point the fifty-sixth degree of latitule nmorth to a point where such line of demarcazion should intersect the one hundred and forty-first de- gree of longitude west of the meridian of Greenwich? 6 1f the foregoing question should be an- swered in the negative-and in the event of the summit of such mountains proving to be in places more than ten marine leagues from the coast, should the width of the lisiere which waé to belong to Russia be measured (1) from the mainland coast to the ocean strictly so-called, along a line perpendicular thereto, or (2) was it the intention and mean- ing of the sald convention that where the mainland coast s indented by deep inlets forming part of the territorial waters of Rus- sia the width of the lislere was to be meas- ured (a) from the line of the general direc- tion of the mainland coast or (b) from the lina separating from the waters of the océan from the territorial waters of waters, or (c) from he heads of the aforesald inlets? 7. What, If any exist, are the mountains referred to as situated parallel to the coast, which mountains, when within ten marine leagues of the coast, are declared to form the eastern boundary? The answers to those eeven questions are as follows: 1. The line commences at Cape Muzon. 2. The Portland Channel passes north of Pearse and Wales islands and enters the ocean through Tongas Passage, between Wales and Sitklan islands. A etraight line to the middle of the en- trance to the Tonxas Pass. 4. A _straight lihe between Salmon and Bear rivers, direct to the fifty-sixth parallel of latitude. ATVERTISEMENTS. TOOK A STRAW VOTE. Interesting Experiment in a Restau- rant. An advertising agent, representing a prominent New York magazine, while on a recent western trip, was dining one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant. While waliting for his order he glanced over his newspaper and noticed the ad- vertisement of a well known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets; as he himself was a regular user of the tablets, he began speculating as to how many of the other traveling men in the dining room were also friends of the popular remedy for indigestion. He says: 1 counted twenty-three men at the tables and in the hotel office I took the trouble to interview them and was surprised to learn that nine of the twenty-three made a practice of taking one or two, of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets after each meal. Onme of them told me he had suffered so much from stomach trouble that at one time he had been obliged to quit the road, but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets had been entirely free from in- digestion, but he continued their use, es- peclally while traveling, on account of irregularity in meals and because like all traveling men he was often obliged to eat what he coud get and not always what he wanted. Another, who looked the picture of health, said he never ate a meal without taking a Stuart Tablet afterward be- cause he could eat what he pleased and when he pleased without fear of a sleep- less night or any other trouble. - . Still another used them because he was subject to gas on stomach, causing pres- sure on heart and lungs, shortness of breath and distress in chest, which he no longer experienced since using the tablets regularly. Another claimed that Stuart’s Dyspep- sia Tablets was the only safe remedy he had ever found for sour stomach and acidity. He had formerly used.common #oda to relieve the trouble, but the tab- lets were much better and safer to use. After smoking, drinking or other ex- cesses which weaken the digestive or- gans, nothing restores the stomach to a healthy, wholesome condition so effectual- ly as Stuart’'s Tablets. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the natural digestives, pepsin, diastase, which every weak stomach lacks, as well as nux, hydrastin and-yellow parilla, and can. be safely. relied on-as a radical cure for every form of poor digestion.

The majority the line of peaks starting at the head of Port- land canal and running along the high moun- fains, on the outer edge of the mountains, showh on the maps of survey made in 1893, extending to Mount Whipple and thence along what is known the Hunter line of 1878, crossing the Sitkine River about twenty-four miles north, thence northerly along the north- ern peaks to Kates Needle, from Kates Needle to the Devils Thumb. The tribunal stated that there was not sufficient evidence, owing to the absence of a complete survey, to identify the mountains which corresponded to those intended by the treaty. a further survey of that portion by the two governments. From the vicinity of Devils Thumb the line runs to the continental watershed, thence through White and Taiya or Chil- koot passes westerly to a mountain in- dicated on the map attached to the treaty as 6303 feet, thence to another mountain 5800 feet and from that point in a some- what curved line across the head of the glaciers to Mount Fairweather. This places the Canadian outpost on the upper waters of Chilkat River in British ter- ritory and the mining camps of Porcu- pine and Glacler Creek in American ter- ritory. From Mount Fairweather the line passes north on high peaks along the mountains indicated on the map by Mounts Pinta, Ruhama and Vancouver to Mount St. Elias. P DISSENT OF THE CANADIANS. Aylesworth and Jette Explain Their Refusal to Acquiesce. LONDON, Oct. 20.—The statement of Jette and Aylesworth, the Canadlan com- :g::{oners, regarding the award is as fol- The tribunal decision of the Alaskan boun has Been given and. in view of ice character, the people of Carnada are, in our Judgment. entitied to such explanation from us as will enable them to comprehend fully the manner in which their interests have been dealt with, We take up the points of the de- clsion in u‘n,. order in Which they are present- under the treaty under which was constituted: b it rst—The Portland Canal. There are two channels parallel with each other, with four islands between them. The Canadian conten- tion was that the northern channel should be adopted. The United States contended for the southern channel. On the result of the de- cision depended the possession of the four isl- ands—Kannaghunut, Sitklan, Wales and Pearse, When the tribunal considered this question the view of the three British com- missioners was that the Canadian contention was absolutely unanswerable, memoran- dum was prepared and read to the commis- sioners, embodying our views and showing it to be beyond dispute that the Canadlan con- tention in this branch of the case should pre- vail and that the boundary should run to the northward of the four islands, thus giving them to Canada. Notwithstanding these facts, the members of the tribunal, other than our- selves. have now signed an award giving two of the islands, Kannaghunut and Sitklan, to the United States, These two islands are the outermost of the four. They command the entrance of Portland Canal and the ocean passage to Port Simj Their loss wholly destroys the stral alue to Canada of Wales and P opinion, no process of reasoning whereby the line thus decided upon by the tribunal can be justified. It was never suggested by the coun. sel in the course of argument that guch a line was possible, Either the four islands belong to Canada or they belong to the United States, In the award Lord Alverstone agrees with the United States commissioners that the islands shall be divided, glving the two which posseis strategic value to the United States. Second—The line northward from Portland Channel. Substantially the Canadian conten- tion regarding this lie was that there are mountains parallel with the coast, within the meaning of the treaty of 1825, and that the tops of such mountains should be declared the boundary, the mountains nearest the sea being taken. The United States' contention was that there are no mountains parallel with the coast, within the meaning of the treaty, and that the boundary must, therefore, be fixed un- der the provisions of the original treaty to ten leagues and to be run a distance of thirty-five miles from the shore, inciuding in the term “shore” the heads of all inlets, bays, ete. tribunal finds 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 ffom Canada by fixing as a mountain line a row of mountains €0 far from the ccast as to give the United States substantially nearly all the territory ia dispute, - Around the head of the Lyan Canal the line follows the watershed, Somewhat In accordance e dpinion tha. the o nion mourital the Domin g along the coast shou least so far as the shores of tl If effect were given to the contention that Great Britain had been acquiescent in depriv- | coast. | would” have given Canada the heads of ihe | trom which easier access to the interior of the | 1t would not, so far as we have | aware, have | occupled by United States citizens | have given the United States the whole of the | Instead of taking the coast line of moun- | tains a lne of mountains has been chosen far This contemplates | 13 “All Done Qut” Never know what it is to be restful with a “constant aching back.
