New YORK, May 4.-The Associated
Press think it due to the public to state that
the Nova Scotia Telegraph Company have,
regardless of the wishes of large majority
of the leading presses of the country, and
of the owners of telegraph lines west OF
Nova Scotia, terminated the foreign news
arrangements which have existed during the
past ten years. and it is understood that the
managers of the Nova Scotia line have made
secret and exclusive arrangements with Il
private party. who, there ls reason t" believe
may attempt to use the European news Tor
speculative purposes. For the present there
fore. the public should stand upon their
guard.
As soon as the Niagarn's news comes t"
hand, it will be made public upon the hulle,
tin boards, and until then the commercial
public must be at the mercy of the Nova
Scotia speculatOrs.

The Now Boundary Dispute.

The Cabinet has now under advsement
an important question a. to the boundary
between the United States and the British
North American possessions, rs fixed by the
treaty of 1916.
This treaty runs the boundary along the
forty ninth parallel to the middle of the
channel which separates Nancouvers Island
from, the continent. and thence southerly to
the Pacific ocean, through the middle Of the
channel and Fuca Straits--the navigation ot
the waters to be free to both contracting
parties.
1t il claimed by our government that the
channel indicated il the Canal de HarO,
which is the widest and the deepest channel
and tho shortest way to proceed from the
Gulf of Georgia to the Straits. Nearer to the
shore of Washington, however, art the Rosa
rio Straits, and between them and the wide
channel are some fifteen or twenty small isl
ands-the San Juan, Orcas, and some others
which are now claimed by both the United
States and Great Britain. The islands are
nearer to tho United States than to Van
eouvcrs Island They have an area alto
gether Of about three hundred square miles,
or near two hundred thousand acres of land.
The island OF San Juan is the key of the Gulf
of Georgia, and overlooks the channel north
and south. If fortified it would command
the possessions on both sides the channel.
The matter of possession in These islands
has lately assumed extraordinary Importance
on account Of the gold discoveries near Frazer
river, and both governments have appointed
Commissioners to arrangea basis fer the sel-
Element of the affair. 1t is now understood that
ths Commissioners have not agreed, ana that
the matter il now the subject Of direct neg"ti-
alton between the British and American
Cabinets
The President is clearly Of the opinion
that the islands belong to us, and our govern
ment will undoubtedly adhere to that posi-
