piled by offering to refer to an arbitration
court sitting without an umpire; and even
at later date we are assured that they
agreed to terms of compromise which Lord
Salisbury considered reasonable, but which
were vetoed by Canada. The whole bound
airy dispute is small; for, was pointed out
in a Canadian interview we published on
April l, the chief area of the gold fields is
Canadian in any case, and the line from
the Arctic ocean to within a few miles of
the Pacific simply follows degree of longi-
tude.
There is too much reason to fear that the
other cause of friction, such as the lumber
quarrel, has produced a needlessly hostile
temper as between the Canadian ministers
and the Washington government. On both
sides they appear to be thinking of perpet-
uai retaliations and reprisals. Such state
| of things is full of evil. and as the existence
| of the commission enables US to reach a
| general settlement on a basis of give and

kindness and indulgence were thrown away,
for it Is now made plain that Aguinaldo
was resolved to be content with nothing
short of the recognition of his Malolos gov

General Otis went to the full extent of his
powers in conSentilS to send commission

by Aguinaido chief of the insurgents In
the hope of reaching an understanding that
would avert the threatened trouble. Ger

The military power could hardly have
been used with greater forbearance than
was shown by General Otis. We think 1t
must be admitted, also, that in directing
the acts of General Otis the President en-
pioyed the civil power wisely and humanely
in the interests of peace. Only the rash
and perfectly needless critics of the Presi-

recognized the independence of the insur-

From the London Chronicle.
The situation into which the Anglo-Amer-

which calls for serious comment. In plain
English, Canadians, possibly for rea-

ing il impossible for us TO arrive at a rea-
sonablc compromise with Washington on

arisen in the Skagway region, and that in

THE PHILIPPINE SITUATION.
Gen, Otis Places the Blame for thu

From the New York Times.
We hope the American Philhlipinists will
have the candor to read General Otis re-
port upon the train of events which led up
to the outbreak Of hostilities between our
troops and the insurgent Filtpinos. They
have pretty generally believed, or said, that
General Otis men were the aggressors and
were responsible for the beginning Of the
trouble If they still believe, Or say, after
reading the generals report, that We were
the aggressors, that fact will be evidence
that their partiaiity and favor for the FIN
pinos are SO great that they refuse to ac-
cept the testimony of an American officer
against them
