LONDON, May 2.-In the House Of
Commons tonight. Lord George Ham
ilton called attention to the treaty OF
1916. which, under the treaty of Wash
ington, was submitted, together with the
Northwestern boundary question,to the
decision of the German Emperor. He
regretted that the English had allowed
upon that part of tie Oregon treaty an
Interpretation of the just clai ms of Eng
land. Rosario Strait. long after 1846,
was the only known navigable channel
between Oregon and Vancouver Island
and hence was undoubtedly the channel
indicated in the treaty of 1916; yet the
government with an unhappy ingenuity
excluded arbitration upoa the consider
alton Of this particular channel.
Yiscount Bury could not but feel that
the Emperor's decision was a serious
blow: but it would be waste of time to
recant negotiations. Probably arbitra-
ton would soon be required again to
settle tie boundary line between Alaska
and British Columbia.
The Turkish Government have order
ed 40, 900 rifles in the United States.

NEW YORK, May 3-The Times, this
morning in an article on the affairs OF
the Pacific Mail Co, says that it is re-
ported that the mortgage for S1l4,O0O
on the Howe Sewing Machine Com
pany's property at Bridgeport, Connec-
ticut, that Stockwell gave the Company
to reimburse them for monies he had
lost in speculation, is worthless, IS
Stockwell could not legally execute such
q mortgage without the consent Of the
stockL Lolders. Moreover, number of
parties holding Hove Sewing Machine
Stock express their determination not to
consent 10 the mortgage. According to
the best legal advice there can be no
doubt that the decision of the courts
would be in their favor. The i" Mer-
chants & Manufacturers Bank holds
$3.50, 900 of Howe Sewing Machine stock
as security for loans.
The President, Mr.. Johnson, s,ys be
mas never consented to the mortgage;
and that an injunction is to be procured
to prevent foreclosure and suit insti-
tuted to set the mortgage aside. Stock
we'll emphatically denies the truth OF
the t reports.
