alaska BOUNDARY QUESTION.
niscu,sion I'm Canadian Parliament
our Course Thought Uniustfhnbie'

OTTAWA. ONT, July 22.-In the House
NJ Commons to-day Sir Charles Upper
brought up the question Of the Alaskan
boundary. lie said tho United States
had pursued an unjustihable course IN
this matter. and spoke Of the UNFAIR anu
tude of the American press In pressing
unon their readers that Great Britain anu
the Trnitsd States would, OF themselves
have been able 10 reach satisfactory
conclusion. but that Canada stood IN the
way.
The United States, IN refusing to sub
NIT the subject 10 arbitration, wei JUST
fed. I'm his opinion, the decision Great
Britain and Canada had reached 10 de-
cline 10 allow the other questions 10 go
before the High Commission. His bellef
was that the Government and commls-
sioners Of the United States had lost con-
fdence in their own claims 10 this strip
Of territory. In conclusion, Sir CharleS
suggested tho Introduction or two DIS
one 10 provide for railway rom hlu-
mat Arm, by Teslin Lake, TO Dawson
the rates 10 be controlled by the Governor
and council, and another providing thaI
no mining license be granted in the Yukon
TO any other than a British SUBJECT
Sir WilIrld IalileI, tAe ti'ih4'tf sym
pathized in part with Sir Charles, and
stated TO the House that he had little or
no hops now for q compromise, and was
sorry to say that the negotiations had
not advanced the position one iota from
the position Of January last. The alter
natives were arbitration or an appeal 70
arms. No one would think Of arms. and
nothing was, therefore, left hut arbilra-
ton. Although an agreement on the
terms OF arbitration had not yet been
reached, he opined that Canada's best
course would still be 20 show further
patience. The propositions made by Sir
Charles would be considered. He would,
however. say that the defeat OF the
Yukon railway bill by the Senate two
years ago was crime. He was not very
sure that the British Columbia bill, which
excluded American miners, was a good
policy TO pursue. Certainly II would pro-
woke retaliation. and that was not want
ed when these negotiations were under
way.

NEW YORK, September I3-The NAM
moth new steamer Oceanic of the White
Star line. which was looked for yesterday.
was sighted east of Fire Island a O'Clock
this morning as if by schedule. this being
the day the company had announced she
would arrive. She left Queenstown at 12:45
pm. last Thursday. and estimating she will
reach the iightship at 10 o'clock, the time
of her passage will be about six days and
two hours. 1t is probable that owing to
her great draught she will not attempt to
cross the bar till high water, which is at
1 80 o'clock this afternoon at Sandy Hook,

compared with ocean records, however,
there are a half dozen steamers on the
Queenstown route westward that are ahead
of her, the best of which are those of the
