Ottawa Ont, october 2s-In the house of commons today MT. Bourassa made .. speech on the Alaska boundary award, supporting the American contention and agreeing with Lord Alverstone as far as the decision to the strip of land along the coast was concerned, but disagreeing with him in respect to the islands in Portland channel He had just ed this point when the house bu the opinion of MT. Bourassa nat all the islands should have gdl sether, either to the United States 1t Britain The debate was continued f,s evening The islands in the opiniomaf MT. Bourasss, either belonged to Canada or the United States. They could not be divided The fact that each received two showed that Lord Alverstone in the first instance act ed in a judicial way, and afterwards as diplomat. MT. Gourley asked MT Bourassa if he had brief from the United States. and Bourassa asked his loyal friend to keep down his disoyal feelings. MT McPherson of Burr ], British Co., lumbia said 1t was the y of the gov ernment to pild railY from Kutom- a on the l 1t1hc coaNf Lawson tltE' and leave the towns ot Dyea and Skag- way as monuments to the selfshness and avarice of the United States
 MT. Borden. a leader of the opposition. declared that Canada should have with drawn from being member to the treaty, once it had seen the character of the tri- bunal.
 Sir Wilfred Laurier regretted that Can ada had not treatymaking powers. More than once he viewed with regret having to live along side a grasping and powerful nation like the United States He sug- gested the building of all Canadian rail- ways to the Yukon gold fields.
 In regard to the opposition members who advised the governments withdraw ing after the king had ratified the treaty, the premier said they should think seri- ously of what that meant
 Suppose the Americans placed their flags over the disputed territory, then Canada would have to withdraw in shame or go to war.

 Come Off Victorious.

Ishpeming, October 23.-After a des. perate struggle with alleged robbers of the Superior postofIice, six Ishpeming policemen rounded and captured two of the trio on a train which arrived today.
 At midnight Marshal Fandram was advised by the Superior captain of the police that three men suspected of the postofice robbery were on the train and the conductor would identify them. The marshal and five officers went to Ishpeming, where the train was boarded.
 The suspects were on the alert and two of them began firing on the off cers at the rear of the train as soon as they entered. Meanwhile, Police man Collins, in charge of the squad, and his assistants had entered the front of the car. All were driven back by two of the desperadoes, who threat ened to shoot if they advanced. Collins and his men retreated. Finding the rear of the car blocked, the robbers ran to the front where they again met Collins one of them raised his re- volver to shoot Collins, but the officer fired first and wounded the man in his hand He threw up. his hands and pleaded for his fife.
 In the meantime shots were being exchanged between Fandram and the other alleged robber. A shot in his back caused the latter to surrender. The third suspect escaped.

The Southern Coal Trade.

According to the sta tert,,t OF
John 4 Finley. president u the
Monongahela River Consolidated
Coal and Coke company, persons In
la the South who have been using
oil as fael are discarding their oil
burning apparatus and replacing 1t
with that suitable for the corsump-
ton of coal This, Mr. Finley
concludes, Is not because oil Is IN
>ati>f4ctory as fuel, but hecau' e
of its high price as compared with
coal, and which, he says, Indicates
that the trade In coal betwee u
Plus burg and New Orleans will
BECOME larger than ever.
This seems to dispose of the
scare that followed be discovery
If oil In Tex.s. Its use as Iuel
Was pronounced success and
when planters and manufacturers
in the South began using 1t as such
there followed sensational story
of how Pittsburg coal would be
replaced In the South BY oil Fol-
owing this came statements from
hose who spoke with authority, in
which was shown that the cost of
oil would preclude Its being used
AS fuel to such an extent as TO
Cause much injury to the coal trade
This claim has been practically
corroborated by he increased ship
meut to the South OF coal, and the
announcement by Mr. Finley, fol
lowing a personal investigation
ought to set al rest any alarm that
has been felt about the Pittsburg
coal trade losing its Southern mar.
