The Appellate Division OF the Supreme Court

the lower court in granting a peremptory
writ OF mandamus commanding William Dal-
ton. Comm ssioner Of the Department of Water

Moiatt to relnstate Major Augustus c. Tate as

judged void, as his remedy was in quo war
ranto proceedings He then began the latter
for a writ OF mandamus. and the lower court
granted the writ Commissioner Dalton ap-
pealed from the decision.
Justice Cullen wrote the opinion He con-
tends that the position may well be considered
one OF confidence and trust to the oity Of New
York, but to come under tho provisions OF the
Veteran act as confidential position 1t must
he moro than that. The relator. Justice Cullen
holds. must hold strictly confidential relations
with the appointing power. He says there Is
nothing in the REALTORS duties which
makes his position strictly confidential
to the Deputy Commissioner OF Water
Supply for Brooklyn. unless the Deputy
OF the relntor. but 1t is provided that the water
rates shall he paid. not to the Commissioner Of
Water Supply. but to the Department OF Water
supply. and therefore the Commissioner or
Deputy COMMISSIONER cannot be held per-
sonnlly liable for the misconduct OF the en-
ployees in the office:
The position OF Water Register is now held
by John +. Frost. Democrat. The salary Is
$4,000 a year. Major Tate Is a Republican.

ALASKA BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
This Government Rejects Great Britain's
Latest Proposition.

WAsHISGToN. June 21-The Government OF
the United States has rejected the latest prop
ositon OF Great Britain in the Alaska boundary
negotiations. which WINS in effect. that the
provisional boundary line be so arranged
as to give Great Britain possession. during
the existence OF tho modus vivendi. OF the vii
lage Of Klukwan, which is at the head OF n
stream leading into the Lynn Canal. This
Government had suggests that the line b"
drawn to the north Of Klukwan. 80 that the
village will be in American territory.
The British Government, in its last note, eX-
pressed willingness to relinquish its claim
to port on the Lynn Canal if klukwan were
included within British territory prescribed
by the modus. The stream on which
Klukwan is situated il not naygahle except
Lynn Canal. is Pyramid harbor which the Brit
ish made every effort to secure. IN its answer
to the last proposition of Great Britain this
Government contends that the erranGement Of
the line proposed by the British would cause
endless trouble between the British and Amor
lean miners at and near klukwan. and would
probably result in bloO1shed. No answer to
the American note is expected until Great
Britain has secured the views OF the Canadian
Government.
