Canadians Want Annexation.

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 19.-There was
more serious talk in Vancouver of de-
claring Canadian independence of the
mother country and of annexation with
the United States in one hour Saturday
afternoon than there has been during
all the last ten years put together. The
announcement that Canada had lost
in the Alaskan boundary dispute was
received here with the deepest bitter
ness. Business men on the streets
were at no pains to conceal their dis
gust.
That's what we get belonging to
Britain" was the general comment.
Business men interested in northern
trade at once declared that the decision
was of the greatest possible advantage
to the United States. and gave Uncle
Sam the complete control of business
and travel to and from the Canadian
Yukon and nothern territories.
I'VE on the coast might better be-
long at once in the state of Washing
ton or Alaska and be done with it,"
said one prominent merchant. Il think
me might get a squarer deal all around
if we lived under the stars and stripes"

AMERICA WINS
ALASKAN BOUNDARY
United States Wins ALI But One
Point Against Canadians.
CANADA KEENLY DISAPPOINTED
Boundary Commission Verbally
Agrees on DecisiOn-United States
Retains Control of All InIets
Except at Portland Canal.

London, Oct. 19.-The Alaska bound
ary commission Saturday reached an
agreement whereby all the American
contentious are sustained with the ex-
ception of those in relation to the Port
land canal, which Canada wins. All
that now remains to be done is for the
commissioners to affiX their signatures
to the decision and complete the map
which will accompany it. On the map
will be marked the boundary line def
nitely fixing the division of American
and British territory on such a basis
that no American citizen will lose a
foot of land he already believed he
held, while the United States will get
all the waterways to 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
settled after a week of keen, trying,
secret deliberations between the arbi-
traitors. Even up to noon Saturday
there was an acute possibility that
disagreement might result and the
whole proceedings fall to the ground.
Lord Alverstone, though openly in
American argument that the United
States was entitled to the heads of
inlets as contained in question 5, held
out that Canada had established her
case in questions 2 and 3, dealing with
the Portland canal.
After luncheon Senator Lodge, Sec
retary Root and Senator Turner agreed
to cede those points and to start the
American boundary line from the head
of the Portland canal, thus giving the
Canadians that channel and some small
islands on which there are only few
disused storehouses. This accom-
plished, the majority of the tribunal
agreed to fix, with this exception, the
entire boundary as outlined in the
American case.
By this afternoon it is hoped that
everything will be ready for signature,
though the actual marking of the line
on the map which shall forever deter
mine the respective territories will Oc-
cupy some time.

The Abolition of Saloons.

The quarterly report of DR.. E. E.
Folk, acting superintendent of the
Tennessee Anti-Saloon League, says
that the unanimous testimony from
a large number of towns in the State
is that the effect of the abolition of
saloons by the Adams law has been
to help the towns in every way. 1t
has increased business from 10 to so
per cent. Men who have been spend
ing their time and money in saloons
now spend their money for food and
clothing for their families. The
blind tigers and the jug trade are
reported to be diminishing. Super
lntendent Folk says there may be a
fight over the law in 1904, but its
repeal would bring on revolution
in the State.
