CANADA RECEIVES BLACK EYE
Dominion Fails 10 Secure a High
way of Her Own to Yukon.

way of Her Own to Yukon.
The reports that the Alaskan boundary
commission had aCquiesced in all the
American contentious except one was
received in Washington City with great
satisfaction at the state department and
at the White House.
Canada has been dealt a black eve bv
the mother country, and it will be in
order now to hear OF protests from the
Canadian experts, who have stated from
time to time that the United States was
rObblDg the dominion of valuable ports
and territory near the Alaskan gold
fields.
Lord PauncefOte, as the friend of Great
Britain and Canada, cOntended several
years ago that Canada was entitled bv
the treaty Of sale between the United
States and Russia and by the Russian
treaty OF 1925 to port on the Lynn
Canal
British politics demanded that this
contention should be urged in favor Of
Canada and the feeling ran so high in
1901 that there was danger Of a con.
tilct between the United States troops
and the Canadian COnstabuIarv with
reference to a right of way through Lynn
Canal
If the United States had granted the
Canadian contention Canada would
have obtained a right of way to the
ocean through the Lynn Canal, and this
would have put Canada and the United
States practically on parity as to the
great trade from the Yukon.
When these matters were under con-
sid orr ho ;nI h.,
state Of Washington, and the Northwest
states protested to the state department
against even giving Great Britain the
right to contest for such academic ques-
tiOns. The best Secretary Hay could
do, therefore, was to agree upon d
mOdus viveDdi with Mr.. Tower, charge
| d'affairs for Great Britain in the absence
of Lord Pauncefote.
This modus vivendi, II it had been
| made permanent by the Alaskan boun-
dairy commission, would have turned
over to Canada a territory equal to that
Of the State Of Rhode Island. Then
| Congress took up the matter and ap-
pointed a boundary commission
BY the report OF the decision Canada
| has been shut out from the Yukon gold
| country by the rejection OF Canada
contention that the boundary liue cut
the Lynn Canal in favor OF Canada.
! That was Canada's whole aim and it
appears that she has been knocked out.
The result of the decision appears to
be this: If the Hay-Tower convention
had been adopted bv the commission
10000 American subjects and domain
including gold and valuable timber
would have been handed over to Canada.
The commission has knocked out the
Hay Tower convention. which was popu-
larly known as the mOdus vivendi.
