His Strength.

LONDON. Sept 2S.-The opening of the
third week of the sessions of the Alaskan
Boundary Commission found ID. T. Wat
son of American counsel continuing his
presentation of the case. He concluded at
1925 D. m, after speaking since Wednes-
day afternoon Lord Chief Justice Aver
stone expressed the appreciation of the
Commissioners, saying:
Thank you for your very powerful ar
gument."
Then, at nod from the Lord Chief JUS
tice, Christopher Robinson, X c.. rose
and commenced his speech in behalf Of
the Canadian claims.
Watson left the hall looking greatly
fatigued after his prolonged efforts.
Some interest was aroused by Lord AL
verstone asking Robinson If he could
prove that the coast mentioned in article
seven referred exclusively to the strip
which Russia was TO obtain by the treaty.
Lord Alverstone confessed that the point
troubled him, and said that If Robinson
could adduce a convincing argument on
that point he would greatly strengthen
the Canadian case. Robinson promised to
deal with the matter at a later stage.
After luncheon Robinson became so IA
tigued that he nearly tainted, and stimu-
lants had to be administered TO him His
failing voice and growing pallor prompted
Lord Alverstone to adjourn the session
earlier than usual. Robinson, who is IS
years of age, pluckily insisted that he
was able to continue. Stimulants again
had to be administered TO Robinson, and
it is probable that he will not continue
tomorrow.

Priestley's home and found her Mrs. Or
ton. She admitted the marriage and said
that it was done IN a spirit of fun. Quart

her to her husband.
Mrs. Orion says she still loves Quart,
