No word has been allowed TO escape from

Alaskan boundary deal was made in con-

but there are excellent grounds FOR the
belief that such a thing occurred, and
that. IL the terms Of the understanding

prejudicial TO this country that a storm Of
popular indignation would sweep from
ocean to ocean. On this account it is pos
sible that the Alaskan part of tho Hay
Pauncefote arrangement may be kept Sc

Just why the President is so anxious TO
push the other and equally obnoxious por-
ton to a finish il would be difficult 10
guess. except upon the theory that rati-
ication Of the treaty would mean destruc-
ton Of the canal project From that
viewpoint il would be easy to see into the
