Cannd nps.
OrrAwA, Ont. March 9.-The text
Of the Alaskan boundary treaty has
been known only 48 hours, and already
there are rumblings Of discomfort. Tho
treaty, as explained BY officers Of the
Dominion land survey. makes an i'm.
portant concession of territory to the
United States. The l4lst meridian Of
west longitude is by treaty the line OF
demarcation between British and
Alaskan territory in the far Northwest
of this continent According to the
surveys made jointly by the I'm ted
States and Canadian surveyors, under
the charge Of General Dufaeld, chief Of
the geological and coast survey OF the
United States, and w. F. King, Do.
minion astronomer, tho summit Of
Mount St. Elias il AL miles east OF the
l4lst meridian, in Canadian territory.
In place of defining the boundary
along the l4lst meridian, the treaty
provides that the line shall be run due
north from the summit of Mount St.
Elias, for 20 miles, until it there rlkes
the l4lst meridian. 1t is contended
here that in this territory there may ~
untold wealth. In the past when
boundary questions have al. sen be.
tween the United States and Canada,
the Dominion has generally come out
second best. as, tor instance, in regard
to the boundary in Maine, and in 1.-The
northwest angle" of the Lake Of the
Woods. The only reason put forward
for conceding this strip Of territory IS
that the summit of Mount St. Elias as
an initial point from which to run the
boundary would be more readily recog.
nizable than row of mounds, pillars
or monuments. Parliament meets IN
three weeks, and the grievances VIII
be fully ventilated then.

Chez Justice Fuller continued by
saying that it belonged to the political

there was a sharp distinction between
the recognition of felhgerency and the

shown in this case, i'll which While
