REPORT ENTIRELY UNTRUE.
Alaskan Tribunal Has Reached No
Decision.

London Oct 1.-THE Associated
Press has the authority for saying
that the announcement made by the
London Morning Advertiser that the
decision of the Alaskan boundary com
mission virtually comedies the Ameri-
can case is entirely untrue. The com
mission thus far has reached no de-
cision and no vote has been taken
even in the private sessions which
would indicate Chief Justice Alver-
stones position. 1t is quite true that
the general trend of opinion among
those connected with the tribunal,
aside from the commissioners, is that
the ultimate decision will be in favor
of America. but there is as yet not
the slightest warrant for saying It
has been reached.

decision in the Alaskan boundary arbi-
tration has beer reached the st.
