This incident, which has caused no end
of comment to-day has been brewing for
several days When the flag was put up
on the depot building the matter was call
ed to the attention of C. l.. Andrews.
United States deputy collector of customs.
MIR. Andrews found nothing in his in
structions which he thought justified the
Canadian officers in raising the British
flo ba ~, Cd
above it. He accordingly called upon MIR.
Busby and had a talk with him in regard
to the proposed innovation. Mr.. Busby
showed him a letter from the chief GUS
toms official of Canada which stated in
substance that as American customs Of
ficials operating on Canadian soil on con-
ditions corresponding to his (Mr Busby's)
office were permitted to fly the flag Of
their country, he was entitled to the
right and to go ahead with the flag rails
ing.

officials would not go on record with such
a statement If 1t were not a fact. Mr. An
drews concluded that Mr.. Busby was
within his rights and accordingly took no
action in the matter.

THE question, which bids fair to as
sumo International proportions as soon as
the news of 1t can reach Ottawa and
Washington, is being discussed to-day
with the mass of sentiment in favor of
the man who hauled down the flag on
this strip of land which the United States
has occupied undisputed since the days
of transfer in 1867 the Canadian officials
have gradually encroached unrestrained
by the American government. BY leaps

advanced toward tidewater. from Tag
lish to Bennett, then to Log Cabin, and,
lastly, to Summit, and when tine customs
ensign of Canada was hoisted at Skag-
