Gle in his path to fame, since the
wealth she had intended should help
him was gone. She felt 1t her duty to
break the engagement. In vain did he
plead and demonstrate. She was firm.

anywlse change her mind.

1t had been very sickly, the wards
were full, and doctors and nurses were

her into the sleigh and took his seat by
her side. Not until they were well out
of the central portion of the city and
making their way toward the suburbs

itself; what he wished to be done, and
about the medicines; after that he re-
laxed into silence again. 1t seemed to

ukase was to exclude United States
whalers from the Northern Pacific, an
exclusion which the Government Of
the United States vigorously protested,
and as a result, in 1924, by treaty be-
tween the two governments, the North

BY the Oregon settlement of 1916
Great Britain got to the Pacific, that
solution at the time being regarded as
preferable to fighting or to probable
contest all along the Pacific coast with
England for supremacy. The United
States sacrificed the great Northwest
in order to acquire New Mexico and
California. Everything considered,
that probably was the best solution. 1t
gave the United States a compact ter

Of Alaska and British Columbia a.

of Alaska and British Columbia as
they can. This commission was as
signed several other matters of arbitra-
tion or adjustment, but the boundary
question is the one which demands the
quickest settlement, for it is liable any
day to create trouble between the two
governments.
AS to the Alaska boundary question,
1t is unfortunate that the commission
failed to agree. AS to which party is
to blame for this non-agreement, there
seems to be general agreement.
Scarcely had the commission been ap-
pointed before Ontario passed a decree
practically prohibiting the export of
logs. Not to be behind in international
amlty, British Columbia passed law
confining all mining privileges in that
province to British subjects. The men,
bers had worked together in greatest
harmony for the accomplishment of
the great purpose of the commission,
but since 1t was seen that provinces
such as Ontario and British Columbia
had 1t in their power to enact laws
which might make of no effect gen
eral settlement as proposed the difficult
ties have greatly increased.
A year ago provisional boundary
was agreed upon with the exception Of
a few miles of the Dalton trail at the
end of Chilkoot pass from Pyramid
harbor. At the same time the growing
Importance of the Alaska territory in
dispute as furnishing the gateway to
the El Dorado of the North impresses
the necessity for the prompt settlement
of the boundary dispute. To under
stand the difficulties of the case a his
torical and geographical review is nee
essary.
History of Question in Dispute.
BY the WebsterAshburton treaty of
1912 between the United States and
Great Britain the northern and east
ern boundaries were accurately defined
from the Rocky Mountains to Mars
Hill, at the eastern end Of Maine. In
regard to the northern and western
boundary, after considerable discussion
and diplomatic fencing, the question
was left unsettled. Out of this boun-
dairy question grew the excitement
which led to the adoption of the cam
paign cry, "Fifty-four forty or fight"
How this old boundary question has
been at least partially revived involves
an Interesting play of treaty against
treaty and rights against rights. To
understand it, 1t is necessary to go back
to the ukase of the Emperor Alexander
/. in 1922, by which he declared all the
territory of the Pacific coast north of
the fifty-frst parallel of north latitude
Russian territory, and by the same
ukase made that part of the Pacific
Ocean lying north Of the fifty-frst par
allel of latitude in America to 40 de-
grees north latitude on the Asiatic
coast a closed sea. The effect of this

Venes between parts of the United
States. Curiously but naturally enough,
Great Britain, or rather Canada, is now
seeking another outlet to the coast, and
this time through what, since the ces-
sion OF Alaska to the United States
thlrty-two years ago, has always been
considered American territory. What
historical or treaty right has Great
Britain or Canada to such an outlet?
Ihe question is not an easy one to an
swer. Great Britain's title to British
North America from the 141st degree
of west longitude (meridian of Green
wich) rests, like that of the United
States to Alaska, upon her treaty with
Russia. Russia's right certainly was
a vague one, and amounted at best
only to a claim in regard to the vast
interior OF whose extent at the time
she had no conception. Great Britain's
title to the Northwest east Of 141st de-
gree Of longitude has never been seri.
ously questioned. 1t is only in regard
to the southeastern part of the boun.
dary line, which is formed irregularly
by mountains and a line extending
thirty miles from the coast, that there
has arisen a question in recent yeors
which has grown into great importance

NEW YORK, June 3.--An alliance
has been formed between Harper &
Brothers and the s. s. Mcclure Com
pany, publishers of McClure's Maya
zine. John w. Harper will be elected
second president of the Mcclure
Company, and j. Henry Harper and H.
Sleeper Harper will become officers of
the Mcclure Company.
S. S. Mcclure will become vice-pres-
ident of Harpers & Brothers, and John
s. Phillips, Frank N. Doubleday and
Albert b. Brady will hold other minor
offices in Harper & Brothers. With rela-
alton to the new arrangement John w.
Harper said today:
1--WE have some plans looking toward
developments in the magazine world,
in field in which Mr.. Mcclure has been
very successful. Mr.. Mcclure believes,
too, that our facilities would enable us
to carry out together certain important
publishing plans of his. So, finding n
number of points of common interest,
we decided to work together We well
come Mr.. Mcclure and his associates,
and while we do not contemplate any
marked changes and will manage the
business in the same manner that has
characterized the house yet the new
developments which this will bring us
will, no doubt, inure very much to our
benefit"
Mr. Mcclure sailed for Europe today,
but Mr.. Phillips, who has been his prln =
cipal associate and partner for many
years, said: THE arrangement be-
tween Harper 81 Brothers and the s. S.
Mcclure Company is an alliance rather
than a consolidation. The management
and principal offices of both companies
remain unchanged"
