ALASKA.
a Question Raised and to be HnSesti-
gated by the Canadian PariiaH1ent
Concerning Our Eight of Possess
sion to this Land OF Snow,
IeebeFgs and Hostile
Indians

OTTAWA, March lin the house of COM
mons DeCosmes moved that an address be
prepared to the governor general asking tor
copies Of the memorandum OF the causes
leading thereto, and OF the convention be-
tween Great Britain and Russia, OF 1879, IN
relation to the boundary between Alaska and
British columbia, with all reliable maps and
charts since made OF Alaska. He claimed
that by the convention OF 1928 we had the
right OF navigation of all rivers IN Alaska,
but said by come accident, when the treaty
Of Washington was under consideration IN
1871, Oh the Yucon, PorcupIne and Stken
rivers were included IN our rights IN that
wav. Mills states that the treaty of 1873
case to Rusaia a narrow strip OF territory
On the coast sosth of Mount Ellis, and ex-
tending as far south as Portland channel, on
the express condition that all the rivers
flowing into this Russian territory should be
omen to navigation on the part OF the subjects
of Great Britain for all purposes whatever.
DeCosmes said the ltussian government In
| 1867, 10y selling Alaska to the nlted States
ahrogated the convention OF 1879. Sir John
| A Macdonald said there were two opinions
on this point Montague Bernard, mem
| her of the commission, who was, perpa g
| the best International lawyer IN England
/ and Lord Lenderlin, now under secretary o.
| foreign affairs, who perhaps knew more
| about the treaties that England ever entered
| INTO than any other man on earth, were o
! opinion that by the transfer of Alaska to tn
| United States these rights were destroyed
| This was lie opinion Of the Gladstone gov
ernment, nd the British ambesSaderT g
| Washington was so Instructed. He dld no
| know whether the papers and maps IN ques
ton could be conveniently brought DOW
/ within reasonable time and with reasonao!
! expense, U2t h. would look into the matter
| The motion was carried.

said contractor, in an action for money
had and received to the use of said cred
tor, and 10 the extent IN value OF any
balance due by the owner to his contractor
under the contract with him at the
time OF the notice first given, or subse-
quently accruing under the same, II SUCH
amount shall be less than the sum due from
said contractor 70 his creditor. This Is falr
aud Just. It 10y collusion the owner pay to
the IntractOr any money in advance OF the
sum due on contract, the owner is made
liable to the amount that would have been
due at the time OF his receiving the attested
account of the work done. The manner OF
forcing the lien provided by this bill ls PLAIN
and simple. An account In writing OF the
item of labor, or material furnished, sworn
10 within four months from the time Of do
ing such work or furnishing the material, is
TO be filed in the registers Office OF the coun-
ty where the work has been done, and is then
recorded In a separate book, which operates
as a lien from the time the work was COM
menced or material furnished, and for two
years after the completion OF the same, on
the buildings and the lots on which they
stand. If the contract has been In writing,
a COPY of the contract is to be filed with the
account. Judgment may be obtained on this
lien fer the amount due, and when SUIT
is commenced on such account the
lien continues until the suit Is finally
determined. If the progress of the work on
any building be suspended by the death of
the owner at stage when, from its unfn-
lshed state, the structure would go to waste,
the laborers mechanics and furnishers there
to may proceed with the same at their own
expense SO far as to Inclose such building and
thereby prevent such waste, provided the
work SO done after such suspension shall be
according to the contract and plan of the
owner This is an excellent provision of Mr..
Maccahe's BILL The bill guards the interest
of all parties concerned, protects the rights
of married women, infants, residents,
and prior bona fde liens, and gives to work
ingmen a weli-deserved protection without
trespassing on the rights of Others"
