one instance, according to a complaint
from an American resident, who lives
near Wrangel, the Canadian authori-
ties established themselves about
twelve miles this side of the line, estab-
lished by a government survey made
by A. Lacey, and openly asserted their
authority there. The matter will be
taken up promptly, here, and investi-
gated, the advices here being that there

Canadians, which might lead to trouble

of the joint high commission feel
they have not been to blame for

sons Of internal policy. founded on the
belief that they would be in better posi-
ton before the session Of parliament

they had refused to sacrifice Canadian
interests. have animated the Canadian
members of the commission in their
course. 1t is just possible that bet
ter results may attend further con-
ference Of the joint body. next summer,
but while the officials here regret ex-
ceedingly the failure so far to reach an
agreement, it is possible the American
side has made their last concession
and that the Canadians cannot expect
any better terms than they have at
present.
TORONTO, Ont, Feb 21.-Sir Charles
Topper. leader Of the Conservative par
ty who arrived here today, in speak
ing Of the failure of the joint high COM
mission to reach an agreement said:
mo surprise is felt at the failure of
the present negotiations by any per-
son in Canada. who was aware that
the government had exhibited not only
complete incapacity to deal with such
a question. but that they had a record
in the past as to render it vain to hope
for them to get any favorable con-
sideration from the United States"
