OTTAWA. Dec. 19.-Canada is now likely to
have q boundary dispute with Newfoundland.
Tho coast OF Labrador. where there are some
fishing colonies which are always on the verge
of starvation, has been for judicial purposes
attached to Newfoundland. The use of spruce
for p%ulpwood Is likely to make the forest-covered
portion of Labrador valuable. and consequently
tho Newfoundland Government is about to
claim not only tho coast but tho interior of
Labrador as far as Q line drawn from Cape
Chudleigh to the coast at q point about twenty
five milos east of the mouth of the Eskimo
River. This would give Newfoundland a largo
slice of Labrador.
The boundary line has never been formally
determined. and no one can say positively how
much OF Labrador IS undsr the Jurisdiction 81

1t is q question for these two Governments
alone to settle, and IL not an imperial concern.
II AN understanding Is not arrived at soon there
is danger of disputes about timber limits and

New York is soon to have a series of masked
balls under entirely different auspices from
any that have hitherto marked the public balls
of Now York. There may not be a series of
them, although that must In q measure be de-
pendent on the success of the first attempt. The
Covent Garden masquerade balls organized by
Sir Augustus Harris shortly before his death
proved. contrary to all expectations, q highly
popular feature Of the winters amusements.
They have since been continued. and the pres.

don they are very deliberately and expensively
arr ranged, and the costumes. In which there Is a
