case of Daniel Voorhees, Miller and
Joseph NJ. Johns. on trial in the fed

upon matter of fact" This matter
of fact is said to be as to whether
Miller had any connection with the
dealings between Ryan and Johns. or
as to whether there was any con-
spiracy between the defendants. The
defendants renewed their bonds for a
new trial.
There were dramatic scenes during
the closing Cay of the trial when the
wives of the defendants and others
wept, especially during the argument
of Attorney RulisOn. The scenes in
the court room at the jurys report
were again somewhat dramatic as the

He Believed We Had the Correct View and
Voted That Way,
The lOng-standing dispute was only
settled after Il week of keen. trying,
secret deliberation between the arbi-
traitors. Lord AlverstOne. though open
ly inclined to believe in the justice of
the United States argument that the
United States was entitled to the heads
Of inlets, held out that Canada had
established her case in the questions
dealing with the Portland canal. Sen
ator Lodge, Secretary Root and Sena-
tor Turner agreed to cede those points,
and to start the boundary line from
the head of the Portland canal, thus
giving the Canadians that channel and
some small islands on which there are
only a few disused storehouses.
This accomplished the majority OF

exception, the entire boundary as out
lined in the United States case Wheth-
er AyleSworth and Jette, the Canadian
commissioners, will refuse to sign the
decision and make it unanimous is not
yet known, but it will not affect the
validity of the agreement if a minority
report is submitted.
That Canada is disappointed in the
decision goes without saying. y To-
ronto cable says that Judge Thomas
Hodgins. Il. c.. who has made a thor
Ough study of the boundary ques-
tiOns, said when he heard of the de-
cision: From my view of the case the
worst 1 thought the Dominion had to
expect was the deadlock. The decision
is most unfortunate for Canada. But
while Canada feels this keenly, there
is scarcely disposition TO resent the
injustice There is intense disappoint-
ment but it will be accepted as the
law in a loyal manner. l am sure,
am inclined to the opinion that it is
Lord Alverstone'S decision that has
given the award to the United States.
No one will be inclined to impute any
thing but the best motives to him.
