The American respons to the British appli-
cation for decision of tn Supreme Court con-
corning the Jurisdiction of tine United States in
Boring Sea. made in the Supreme Couct today.
turns upon three points Our government OPP
poses the filing Of the petition for writ of pro-
hibition, first, on the ground that the Alaskan
court is not "a district court Of the United
States" and the Supreme Court has no power in
any case to issue a writ of prohibition to it:
second, on the ground that the juris-
diction of the Alaskan court cannot be
questioned upon the showing Of the record of
the proceedings in that court; and, third, that
the jurisdiction Of the Alaskan court depends
upon the extent of the dominion of the United
States in the Bering Sea, which is a political
question to be decided by the political depart
ment Of the government and which has already
been decided both by the executive and Con-
gress- The first two points are technical and
would apply only to the record Of this particu-
lar case coming from this particular court
The third Is the broad ground upon which it
has been popularity supposed that the govern
meut wonld base its contention. 1t applies to
the question Of jurisdiction in Boring Sea no
matter in what court it arises, or what showing
the record makes or fails to make. It not only
furnishes an argument against even permitting
the fling Of petition for a writ of prohibition
in such a case. but it supplies the rule upon
which the court is bound to decide the question
Of national Jurisdiction, If it permits the mat
ter to come squarely before il. The argument
of the attorney general is interesting and able.
Common sense indicates that no nation would
ever permit two branches of its government to
be plS ced at the appeal of m foreign oovarn
ment at losgerheads over question of national
jurisdiction Common sense also suggests that
the branches Of government which deal with
foreign governments and political questions
should settle such controversies. On this point
the legal decisions seem to be in line with CON-
mon sense.

The many excellent reasons Why q polio!

The many excellent reasons why q policy
Of reciprocity between Canada and the United
States should be inaugurated are presented
with great clearness and ability by Mr.. Erastus
wiman in the North Anterieas Recie'c. This
policy would be greatly promoted II not
eventually secured By the adoption of the reso-
luton recommended by the House committee
ON foreign affairs. The resolution declares
that whenever it shall be duly certified to the
President Of the United States that the govern
msnt Of the Dominion Of Canada has declared
o desire to enter into such commercial ar
rangements with the United States as will re-
suit In the complete removal of all duties upon
trade between Canada and the United States,
he shall appoint three commissioners to meet
those who may be designated to represent the
government of Canada, to consider the best
method Of extending the trade relations be-
tween Canada and the United States, and to
ascertain on what terms greater freedom of
intercourse between the two countries can
best DO secured, and that said commissioners
shall report to the President, who shall lay
the report before Congress. As Mr.. wiman
points out q condition Of commercial bellig-
ersncy exists along the entire northern border
Of the United States-a border line four thou
sanu mics IN ienStn-aBaiust WHICH ue N"st
commerce Of the United States breaks like
huge wave and rolls back upon itself. He con-
tends that Canada offers possibilities Of conf
merce to this country much in excess Of those
of the distant southern countries to whom Mr..
Blaine has beckoned and Congress called, and
well says that the barriers between Canada and
the United States are those of lakes and rivers
only, which instead of being barriers to sepa-
rate should be bonds to unite the two peoples.
The physical conditions are all favorable TO an
extension of commerce in this direction as far
as human life can exist. The fiscal policy alone
produces hostility. The tory party, the pres
ent stumbling block, may be removed in the
general parliamentary elections soon to occur.
The main value Of passing the resolution re-
ferred to would be the argument thereby fur
nished to the liberals Of the willingness Of the
United States to enter into the proposed ar
rangement and the encouragementandi impetus
thereby given to the liberal reciprocity cam
psign. Why confins effortJ TO secure reci-
procity to one portion of the hemisphere?
Boundless America in all directions is ours if
we take right measures Of economic policy to
acquire it.

We told you at our opening the factories of st.

assortment Of EMBROIDERIES. All Of the
experience and taste of one the best known Eu-
ropean buyers was brought into requsition for
the early purchase of our entire assortment Of
EMBROlDERlES. hence the splendid variety,
the tasteful patterns and the remarkably low
prices When You look at these goods be care
ful to notice the eyenness, the sheeInsss and the
exceeding fneness of the cloth and you will
then see where other goods of the same class
stand on comparison. One of the principle
reasons that will interest you in making an
early purchase is that you can have them made
mp now without any trouble, whereas II You
wait for a month or 50 you know well that the
dressmakers will be so rushed that you canno:
get your dresses made when You want them, or
you will have to wait your turn for others,

Terrible Suspense of the Fami1y--Ar-

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 20. The two
year-old son of Millionaire Davii 7.
Beals, that was kidnapped by Lizzie
Smith, a waiting maid in the household,
while the family were at dinner, was re-
turned at 9:45 p. m. on payment of a
So, 900 ransom.
he offer of ransom was made after
long and serious discussi on. The po-
lice officers argued that the criminal
should be brought to justice and that
the Offering of a ransom without at.
tempting to secure the kidnappers was,
from a normal standpoint compound
ing felony. But Mr.. Beals, taking
counsel of the Charley Ross case, re-
fused to take the risk.
AT o'clock in the afternoon Mr..
Beals received a note by a messenger
boy, who said that an unknown man
hal handed it to him on the street. The
descr ption of the man as given by the
boy tallies very closely with that of the
mau who is known to have occupied a
cottage on Lydia avenue together with
another man and Lizzie Smith He is
supposed to be man named King.
The note informed Mr. Beals that he
desired to meet him in front of the post
office soon as possible. Mr.. Beals was
di ected to wear plain gold ring on his
left hand, prominently display ed, as q
means of identification. The child, said
the writer, was securely hidden and all
| the detectives in the country could not
| find him. He knew where the child was
! hidden and would return him to the
father for stated sum.
Mr.. Eeals went at once to the post
office, and until all the departments
| were closed for the night he paced
| up and down the corridors increasingly.
| AS the hours wore on, with no response
to the secret signal, the poor father be-
! gan to weep and his sobs brought tears
I to the eyes of all who heard them.
| Finally, at late hour, friends led him
| to his desolate home.
peared with the offer of s., 900 ransom,
a man, whose description no one has OBJ
| tanned, appeared at the Beals residence
and called for Mr.. Beals.
Mr.. Beals appeared, and the man said
that if $50, 900 in cash was paid him al
| g.. 40 p. NJ. and the police were in
structed to keep out of the way, he
would return the child. He finally con-
sented to take $1,000.
Mr.. Beals willingly made the promises
askeI and sent down to his bank for
the money in small bills
AT the hour appointed the man with
the boy, safe and sound, appeared at
the residence and delivered up the child.
He received the s., 900, counted it dellb
erately, bowed politely and disap-
peared.
The police had struck hot trail, and
at about the time the child was re-
turnei the woman Lizzie Smith was ar.
rested in a vacant house in lonely To-
cality. She was taken to the police sta
tion and then to the Beals house, whe re
she was fully iden titled.
