ONE OF the questions before the Joint High
Commission for settlement is the north " esteru
boundary line between the United States and
British America, commonly known as the "San
Juan" question. The history of this contro.
versy forms one of the most prominent episodes
in our diplomatic annals. In 1927 treaty was
entered into between the United States and
Great Britain by which it was stipulated that
until such times as permanent settlement was
made the territory at issue between the two
governments should be occupied in common by
the subjects of both. When population began
to How in there were conflicts which made our
government anxious to terminate the common
occupation, and after many attempts on its
part treaty was finally signed in 1916 which
gave promise of q removal of the source of dis-
turbance. Unfortunately, though the vord;no
OF the instrument rem aimed unaltered from the
draft of it transmitted to Washington nv tho
English Foreign Mission, the Cabinet of 8,
James Immediately repudiated its clear inten-
ton and sought means of multiplying its practi-
cal action altogether. From that time to the
present, about qnarter of century, this has
been one of the main issues between the two
governments.
The draft of the treaty, it is said, is complete
and about to be signed in duplicate. 1t is said
TO be quite long, covering 100 pages Of FOOLS
cap but nothing OF its contents has leaked out
.''hough manystatements are made concerning

FRANCIS DELsARTE.-Now that efforts are
making to bring to America the great Europe
an master OF vocal and historionic art, all tha
pertains to the life and character of this emf
nent French scholar has special charm. For
sixty years he has lived in France, but the
revolutions there have scattered his family and
broken up their home. The article by F. A.
Darivage in this months atlantic is full of
marvellous incident stranger indeed than fic-
ton. One of Delsarte's pupils, James 8.
Mackaye, is now lecturing and repro
ducing in brilliant manner not . little
OF the wonderful pantomimc powers of his
teacher. An eminent elocutionist of Massa-
chusetts has offered $500 towards the expense
of bringing Delsarte to this country and the
fruits of Mr.. Mackaye's labors are devoted to
the same end. It's hoped that the people of
Portland will secure him at an early hearing.
