FOUNDRY COMMENT.

=, The Eastern press has shown great
interest in the Alaskan boundary con-
troversy. The papers are commenting
'npon it quite freely, and nearly all IN
condemnation OF the Secretary OF State
for agreeing to the modus vivendi.
The New York Journal says:
"In this strip OF American territory,
purchased from Russia thirty-three
years ago, there are American mines
and American miners, American farm
ers, American sawmills and American
lumber camps. They have all been
turned over to England, lock, stock and
barrel.
'"Why not bar the flag with the cross
of St. George and let the hybrid banner
float over the United States OF Eng
iand?"
The Washington Times also remarks:
"The executive act of surrender is at
once evidence of perfidy to the people,
and of the oft-denied, but nevertheless
existent, Mckinley Salisbury alliance"
The New York Sun says: "We consi-
der it duty to inform Secretary Hay
that American sentiment is not likely
to tolerate compromise lines that mark
of to any European power, however
friendly we may be to that power, any
portion of American territory.
1.-THE Monroe doctrine forbids. The
platform of the Republican party for
bids. Mr.. Hays chief, William McKin-
ley. forbids.
"That ought to be enough, any pers-
onal arrangement between Mr.. Hay and
Lord Pauncefote to the contrary not
outstanding.
But it remains for the Chicago Tri-
bune to defend Mr.. Hay. 1t says;
SIT is the conviction of the American
Government that the true boundary line
runs where Americans have commended
1t ran ever since Alaska was purchased.
That position will be adhered to in flu
ture negotiations. Nevertheless, it was
the belief last year, and is still, that it
is wise and proper to agree provision
ally on dividing line, even though it
falls short of the true line. The agree.
ment puts an end to disputes between
Canadian and American miners and
local authorities which might have led
10 bloodshed."

VICTORIA PROTESTS.

The Victoria papers seem inclined to re-
yard the action of the Skagwav chamber
of commerce in protesting against the DIS
eliminating Canadian customs regulations
az a bluff. Thew protest that it will have
no effect upon Canada.
However, both the Colonlst and lines
seem to be laborng under a misippfehen-
sion of the actual facts, for both take Inc
stand that all Canada wants is to be falr,
and flavor according to An orleans all
the privileges the United States extends 10
Canadians. They maintain that Canada
desires to be fair but refuses to be coerced.
This is all Alaskans have asked for and
all thev want. Every privilege Skagwav
ls demanding has been already freely ac-
corded Canadians by the United States. II
Canada really desires to be fair, so much
the better. as our requests will in that
event be granted at an early date. we
would rather feel that equity were accord
ed In that spirit.
But II makes no material difference to
, our people whether the Canadians give US
the same privileges we have accorded them
In a spirit of fairness or in one OF fear. we
have begged of their customs officers from
John McDougald. the commissioner OF Gus
toms, down the list and have had our petit
tions turned down and have learned to feel
the necessity of an appeal put in another
way.
The Victoria papers assume to believe
that Canadians have not the right to hold
American goods In bond and to re-shlp
them to American purchasers duty free'
j. But we have General Spaulding's state
ment to the contrary, and that very thing
is being done bv Dawson merchants atthls
time. All that is required is certificate
of the u. S. Consul that the goods came
from the United States.
The Canadians " Ill find Skagwayans, as
other Americans, disposed to meet them In
spirit of fairness. We only want falr
play.

Judge Clayton rendered his de-
c.sion in the Atoka injunction case
this morning, says the South Nc.
Alester Capital, dissolving the
temporary Injunction made at An.
tiers restraining the towDsite com.
mission from proceeding with the
sale Of town lots at Aloka under
their appraisemen'. The judge
has had the matter under advise
ment for several weeks. His
grounds for disso'ving the inipnc.
tion were 4 when the plL had
been approved by the secretary OF
ihs interior i, deprived his court
oi further jurisdiction in the mat.
ter. The court further stated that
aside from this, the fact that Atoka
wasinut an incorporated town and
it's streets aud boundaries had nc
legal status would in his opinion
have been sufficient to preclude
interference by the courts with the
plat made by the commission.
