The New Boundary Dispute with Great
Britain.

The news from Washington Territory is
highly important. The controversy that
has been maintained for some years between
our Government and that of Great Britain.
in regard to the possession of the Arroo
Islands. appears as if it were soon to be
brought to termination one way or the
other. We are informed that Gen. Harvey
has caused the Island of San Juan. the prin-
cipal of the group, to be occupied by COM
pany of U. S. troops; while on the other
hand Gov. Douglas, of British Columbia,
has issued protest against such occupan-
cy, claiming the Island as belonging to the
British crown, and has dispatched thither
some armed vessels with force of sappcrs
and miners. Four U. S. vessels-the Mas
sachusetts. jeff Davis. Shubrick and Ac-
tive--and three British vcssels--the Tri-
-bune Satellite and Plumper-were either
anchored off the Island or in the immediate
vicinity. 1t was supposed that this joint
occupancy Of the Island would be main
tanned until instructions could be received
from the respective Governments.
The boundary line between Washington
Territory and Vancouver's Island has be0n
in controversy for several years, and COM
missioners were appointed not long since
to arrangeit. Itseems, however, that they
have not been able to do SO. and we pre-
sumo that these movements on the part of
both Gen. Harvey and Gov. Douglas were
made in obedience to instructions, and for
the purpose of bringing the affair to an is
sue. The treaty of 1916, established the
boundary as being 'along the 49th paral-
lei of north latitude to the middle of the
channel which separates the continent from
Vancouver's Island, and thence southerly
through the middle Of said channel and Of
Fuca's Straits to the Pacific ocean."-
Well, there are two channels separating
the continent from Vancouver Island
One of them is, west Of the. Arroo ar
chipelago, and would give these Islands to
u.s. The other is to the east, and would
give them to Great Britain.
The equcstion is, which of them was meant
to be designated in the treaty. We have
always maintained that it was the former,
because it is deeper. wider. and more di-
rect, and because the islands naturally be-
long, not to Vancouvcr's Island, but to the
main Iand. The British hold the contra
ry view, bnt would be satisfied to conipro-
misc by giving rs all but this identical Is
land of San. Juan. which contains abont
seventy square miles. Is valued for It's fish,
cries. and minerals. and is particularly i'm
portant in amilitary point Of view, as COM
fianding the straits Of Fuca and the navi-
CATION of the Georgian gulf In fact, the
propriety Of terrifying It and making It a
second Crohstadt has been recently discuss
ed in England. -. is'2'i''si 80 hae
50 II will be seen. therefore. that this con-
trcvery is by no means about an insignifi
cant matter, and that it may not improba-
bly, lead to difficulties between the two gov
crnments. .ANi Y. Herald. niHsA isA q
