London. oct. 1.-The Alaska Boundary
commission today reached an agreement
whereby all the American contentious are
sustained, with the exception of those
in relation 10 the Portland Canal, which
Canada wins All that now remains to
be- done is for the commissioners to afflx
their signatures to the decision and com

Inc United States will get all the water
ways 10 the rich Alaskan territory, with
the exception of the Portland Canal,
which gives Canada the one outlet she
so much needed.
The long standing dispute was only set
tied after a week of keen, trying secret
de.j5eration between the arbitrator.
Even up to noon today there was ali
acute possibility that a disagreement
might result and the whole proceedings
FALL to the ground. Lord Alverstonc,
though openly inclined 10 believe IN the
justice of the American argument that
the United States was entitled to the
heads OF %inlets, as contained in question
five. held out that Canada had established

After luncheon, Senator Lodge. Secre-
tary Root and Senator Turner agreed 20
cCde those points and TO start the Ameri-
can 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 store
