PUBLIC OPINION

Editor Evening News:
Reading your editorial this evening,
gives me pain. 1 think if YOU were a
property owner yourself that you
would not be SO eager to have the city
buy the Westminster property. 1t is
all right for people who do not foot
the bills to cry for such things, sup
pose you think, but I for one object
to any such foolish thing. When the
tax bills come, as they did last week,
with taxes doubled and in some cases
three times what they were last year,
it is time to call a halt. You also say
that Perth Amboy with its fine harbor
and railroads is one of the leading
cities in the wealth for manu-
factories and before many Jears the
industries will be double the present
number.
If it were known to the parties who
are contemplating locating in Perth
Amboy that our taxes have been in
creased at the rate they have this
year, I think that they would not be
foolish enough to move to a town that
promises soon to be a holy terror for
taxes, rs the Italians say, "You maka
da monk SICK"
Truly yours,
s. B. GREAUEN.

OFFICIALLY SIGNED.
Alaskan Award Agreement
Signed by Majority.
CANADIANS REASONS FOR REFUSAL
Lord AlverstOne Gives His Opinion
On the General Issue-DominiOn
Members Praise Courtesy and
Good Faith of Americans.

LONDON. Oct. 21.-The official re
port of the Alaskan boundary commits
| sion was signed yesterday afternoon
and then issued. 1t is signed by Lord
Alyerstone. the british commissioner,
and by the three American commits.
s%ioners, who constitute Il majority Of
the tribunal.
The Canadian members of the com
mission declined to sign the award.
Expressed in ordinary language, it
| awards the United States all the terri
tory included within the moduS viyendi
of the past few years.
1t establishes the boundary on what
is known as the old Hunters line, Civ
ing the United States the heads of all
F, inlets.
The decision in regard to Portland
, canal gives Canada PearSe and Wales
islands. The United States gets Sit
khan island and the broad southern por-
ton Of the channel.
The decision, as Il whole. is of course
an overwhelming vindication of the
claims of the United States.
Three opinions were also delivered to
j. w. Foster and Clifford Sifton. the
agents respectively Of the United States
and Canada.
One is by the Americans, discussing
the Portland canal claims: another by
Lord Alvcrstone on the general is%l2
and a third by the Canadians, protest
ing in the most emphatic %lanEuagr
against all the American claims.
Now that the matter is ended it leaks
out that the Canadians have practical
ly not taken part in the proceedings
Since Lord AlverStonc declared himself
in favor of the main claims of the
! United States Il week AGO.
In an interview Mr.. SiftOn. one of the
Canadian agents. stated after the deci-
sion had been announced that, while
he declined to give an opinion on the
result, he wanted to say that the rep
acted with perfect courtesy and good
faith throughout the proceedings. He
added that the Canadians had nothing
whatever to say against the American
representatives.
Mr.. +. G. Wade, another Canadian
agent. confirmed all that Mr.. SiftOn
had said in regard to the relations be-
tween the American and Canadian rep
reSentatives. He added:
I'VE all agree that the Americans
have fought their case all through like
men and won it like gentlemen
Sir Francis Jette and Mr.. a. Il.
Aylesworth, the Canadian commission
, ers, have issued a statement protesting
against the decision, in which they say
I'VE do not consider the finding as
regards the islands at the entrance of
the Portland canal or the mountain line

Surprised Memphis Track by Beat
ing Major DcImnr With Ease.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Oct. 21.-What
was expected to be one of the greatest
harness horse contests in local history
proved to be Il very tame affair when
Lou Dillon gave Major Delmar Il de-
cisive beating in two straight heats in
ordinary time. The two minute trOt-
ters met in The second renewal of the
Memphis gold ~. Lou Dillon imme-
diately forged the front at the start
and seemingly without effort opened up
a gap of three lengths. which advan-
tage she held to the end, winning in an
easy jog.
In the second heat Major Delmar
broke badly ut the first eighth pole, al
lowing the daughter of Sidney Dillon
to assume Il lead of twenty lengths.
Turning into the stretch the mare was
pulled up and won by eight lengths.
Both heats were trotted in 2:04al. 1t
was the general opinion that had the
mare been pushed in the race she
could have repeated her great perform
ance at Readville. when she made the
circuit in two minlnes. The stake fea-
ture. the Diamond handicap, Il dash at
a mile and Il half, was won handily by
DR.. Strong from the odds on favorite.

the treaty and which \ originated al
least sixty years after the treaty was
signed"
From a British viewpoint the best
that can be said Of the settlement of
the Alaskan boundary dispute is that it
is over"
The foregoing words strike the key
note of London press comments on the
decision of the Alaska boundary tribu-
nal. This decision is generally denomi-
mated the surrender of British rights
on the altar of American friendship
While there is no suggestion of per-
sOnal criticism of either Lord Chief
commissioners. the tendency is to re-
gard the Canadian commissioners as
the heroes of the hour for their refusal
TO sign the document Surrendering
what they considered to be the rights
of the Dominion.
The Standard. commenting on the
loss of Il gateway TO the Klondike and
the islands strategically commanding
the mouth of the Portland canal. says
it is useless to dispute their confirma
ton to another power. however friend
ly and enlightened. This loss will be
regretted deeply by patriotic Canadi-
ans. I'VE could wish that the result
had been different, but we cannot
doubt that the American commission
ers no less than Lord Alverstone are
perfectly convinced that as jurists they
were giving effect to the purposes kept
in view by the Trainers of the treaty"

Horses Defeat WheeIman.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 21.-Robby
WalthOur was beaten in his ten mile
ace against running horses by seven
siXteenths of a mile. Walthour had
the outside of the track. which gave
him a disadvantage of tive-eighths of
a mile in the ride. The track was too
heavy for the bicycle and the motor
PAGER, and Walthour lost some time
from a broken wheel, which made nee
eSsary a change to another. His fast
est mile was made in 1:4912. The best
mile made by any horse was 1:51 fiat.

a Canadian who has been most init
mately and prominently associated
with the Alaska case said:
1T is the hardest blow the imperial
tie has ever received. The place Lord

to know that Notwithstanding all the

| thy the solemn formalitieS of the inter-
national court have simply been used
, for the purpose of handing over Cana
dian territory to the United States.
Canada has been not only spontaneous,
but jealous. in defense of British terri
tory and has not hesitated to sacrifice
blood and treasure in defense of the
motherland. She must now face the
fact that when imperial interests or
friendships require it her territory may
be handed over without the slightest
hesitation. This marks Il most serious
epoch in The relations between Canada
and the mother country

OVER MOODYS ORDER
Officers Protest ogainst Transfer of photographic Offices
to Control Of Cibiian Employees.

Much ill-feeling prevails in the navy,
especially in the Bureau of Equipment,
over the order promulgated by direc-
ton of Secretary Moody just before his
departure for California TO join the
President, relieving naval officers IN
charge of the photographic Offices and
substituting civilian assistants The
order in effect also transfers the su-
pervision of this important branch of
the service from the Navy to the
Treasury Department and places it un-
der the Jurisdiction of the lighthouse
inspectors.
An attempt was made by Representa-
tive Cannon and Mr. Moody, when the
latter was a member of the House two
years ago, to have this transfer made.
but it was vigorously opposed by Rear
Admiral Bradford, the chief of The Bu-
reau Of Equipment, with the result that
Congress declined to authorize th.,
transfer. Secretary Moody has now
taken the matter in his own hands and
directed the substitution of civilians for
naval officers as chartmakers and sug-
gested that they be placed under the
Treasury Department. This action, it IS
said, was taken without consultation
with Rear Admiral Bradford. whose first

The correspondent says that Much

that the Russians have gaTrisoned forts
in that vicinity. 1t is also reported
that the Russians are making other

1t is asserted that Representative Can
mons motive for desiring the transfer
and change was personal one, and
that Secretary Moody. in his order. has
simply carried out the wishes OF the
Speaker to- be. AT the time the matter
was debated in the House. Mr.. Moody
made some severe criticisms of the con
duct of the photographic Office.
The order affects all the branches, with
the exception of those in New York and
San Francisco.
All of the officers in charge at the
present time are on the retired list,
with the exception OF Commander A. V.
Wadhams, in charge of the office in
Chicago, who is also the naval recruit
ing officer at that place These officers
are said TO be ineapacitated for other

The action was taken without the
knowledge of Acting Secretary Darling
and is TO take effect at once. Some
doubt is expressed at the Navy Depart
ment as to the legality OF the action of
Secretary Moody in view of the fact that
Congress refused 10 authorize the trans
fer when the matter was before that
body.
