CANADA HAS Nd CASE
A canadian Statesman says tine %.

the states.

CHICAGO Sept ga special from ottawa, Ont,
says: senator Scott, late Secretary OF STATE said
last night that the fuss the Dominion government
was making In laying claim 10 joint ownership
OF the ST. Clair Flats Canal was absurd In The eK-
Jreme, even n Canadian territory had been en-
croached upon In It's construction, the canal OF
channel built with the consent OF the Canadian
government, which not until years interyened
made any remonstrance. In signlng the Washing
ton treaty OF 1871 the Dominion government he
says recognized the right Of the United States 20
concede 70 Canada the use OF the 81. Clair Flats
Canal, which clearly established the fact that In
the opinion OF the Dominion government the
United states held exclusive jurisdiction over IL
and that any use Canada might make Of the canal
was only one Of suffrance.
