the fact beforehand. The correspondence

The arguments on the boundary line
in Alaska began before the commission
sitting in London, Tuesday. and will
continue for several days.
The United States has jurisdiction,
according to its purchase from Russia.
over the coast from Dixon Entrance,
north, and ten marine miles from the
coast, and the dispute is caused by the
peculiarities Of the coast
The inlets are not ordinary bays. but
are so long and narrow that they look
like ocean canals, and hence are called
canals instead of bays. Lynn canal
runs for nearly hundred miles into
the mainland and for great part of its
extent is not more than mile and a
half in width. Toward its northerly end
it forks, between towering cliffs, form
ing two harbors On one of these har-
bors are the towns of Dyea and Skag-
way, which at little more than stones
throw from each other mark the en-
frances Of the parallel passes known
as the Chilkoot and the Skagway.
The other harbor gives access by
a third pass to still another route to the
Klondike. The Canadian contention is
that all these landing places, which
control the practicable routes to the
Klondike region. are in Canadian terri
tory. 1t is admitted that the United
States has jurisdiction extending ten
marine leagues from the coast, but the
Canadians argue that such an inlet as
Lynn canal is not part of the coast
line. which is really the ocean side OF
the group OF islands. The treaty how
ever, says that the line shall follow
''the sinuousities of the coast, and the
American boundary claims were never
disputed until the development of the
Klondike region attracted Canadian at
tention to the commercial Importance
of Lynn canal, whereupon the bound
airy claim was invented upon which
the comm isson is now passing.
