THAT eminent British economist, Sir
Robert Gifien, has written to the London
Times to say that not the slightest reli-
ance is to be placed OH Germanys assur-
ances that she does not intend to make
territorial acquisitions in South America.
or the Venezuelan affair he says: "Ger-
man protestatons that no territory is de-
sired are worthless In the economic
condition of Germany territory is very
much desideratum if it is not actually
desired, especially territory like that of
VenezuelS, where in spite of its situation
at the equator there is, by reason OF the
mountainous nature OF country, much
fertile land suitable for European settle
ment, while there are rich mining dis
tricts calling for expert exploitation.
Given suitable opportunity. Germany
has every motive to convert temporary
into a permanent occupation of such ter
ritory, aud the hostility of the United
States, especially if Germany had Eng
land for partner, would not prevent the
attempt TO do So"

SPEAKING of the new Governors ap-

packer did the whole business. He
thought the matter over with malice to-
wards none, and soundly concluded that
he did not owe anybody anything, save
that he owed the State good servants Of
the Republican persuasion, and men that
he thought he could rely on tor good
work. We take great deal of stock in
Pennypacker, who evidently knows what
he is about, and whom nobody is leading

New Castle, Pa, Jan. 24.-Councils
are considering the matter of making
reprisals against industrial corpora.
tions which do not operate their local
works, by raising the tax levied on
them. The American Steel and Wire
company is one syndicate against
which this action may especially be
directed. The New Castle nail, wire

ever since they were sold to the

manufacturing plants, in order to in

tEvfie. ETTORk GENERAL
FINISHES PRESENTATION
OF CANADA'S CASE.
COUNSEL FOR AMERICAN SIDE OPENS
DAVID T. WATSON OF PITTSBURG
DESCRIBES THE ACQUlSl-
TION OF ALASKA.

London, Sept. 24.-Attorney General
Finlay concluded his argument in be-
half of Canada at the mornings ses-
sion of the Alaskan boundary commls-
sion He received the thanks OF Chief
Justice Alverstone and the congratula-
tions of Messrs. Root and Lodge on
his lucid explanation of so technical
and comprehensive subject.
The attorney general made 1t clear
that Canada wants above everything
else access to the sea and American
counsel informed the Associated Press
that every effort will be made by them
to convince the tribunal that the
treaty contemplated a barrier between
the Dominion and the ocean and that
the question OF territory is not I'M
portant, provided that the shores and
inlets remain in the possession OF the
United States.
David T. Watson of Pittsburg. of
counsel for the American side. opened
for the United States, describing the
purchase of Alaska and stating that
the United States published in 1867
the map issued by Russia in 1926, one
year after the treaty with Great Brit
ain, and that no protest was made
against the boundary therein fixed
either by Great Britain or by Canada.
Quotes Canadian Documents.
Mr. Watson pointed out that it was
three years after gold was discovered
in the Yukon territory that Great Bria-
ain made her first formal notification
that she would question the title OF
the United States TO the heads of in
lets The correspondence prior there
to referred to the actual demarkation
line on the ground, but no question as
to the accuracy of the boundary
claimed by the United States as uni
versally shown by the maps, had ever
previously been formally raised by
Great Britain
A. Bayles Worth, X. c., of Canadian
counsel, remarked that in 1867 Canada
had no concern in the question and
had no right to interfere with an OBJ
lection, as her territory was not eX-
tended 20 the Pacific until 1871.
Mr. Watson, continuing, quoted the
reports of the surveyor general OF Can
ada in 1874, agreeing that the line was
across certain rivers which were emp
tying at the head of the Lynn canal,
argued that Canada thereby acknowl-
edged the United States claim to the
head of the inlets.
The commission then adjourned for
the day.

Washirt Sept. 23-The interior

nous sectl1. 16, in the heart OF the
city of Cass Lake, Mimi, to Mrs. Mel
lie Lydick and her two children. The
allotment is eighty acres in extent and
is very valuable.
The squatters on the land protested
against the decisien of the depart
ment last year in AVA Hng the land
70 Mrs. Lydick and a second hearing
was held Nothing developed, how
ever. that tended to disprove Mrs. Ly-
dicks claim TO the land.
1t is not thought any immediate ac-
ton will be taken to remove the squat
ters and an effort will be made TO get
from congress permission for her to
dispose of the land. The Lydicks are
perfectly willing to negotiate for a
compromise sale with the settlers
Owing to the value of the land the
case has attracted considerable atten-
ton. Ii was contended by the parties
who sought title to the land allotted
to the Lydicks that the latter did not
occupy such relations to the Chippewa
tribe as to qualify them as allottees
under the law.

Due TO MONEY PRESSURE.
Ctatement of Consolidated Lake SuPe-

Toronto. Ont. Sept. Pa II.
Clergue made the following statement
during the day regarding the troubles
OF the Consolidated Lake Superior
company.
"The financial difficulties of the
works at Sault Ste Marie have GER
tainly reached crisis. Mr.. Shields
accepted the presidency at the invita-
tion of myself with the most positive
assurances from financial interests in
the company Of the most reliable char
ecter that funds would be provided on
the 1st of July for the taking up of the
Speyer loan and for providing $500
900 working capital The unexpected
continuance OF money pressure in New
York made II impossible for the full
flllment of those promises. The at
tempts made to secure funds by other
means have so far failed and only
within the last few days, when this
result became apparent, has it been
necessary for me to give personal at
tention to the financial requirements
of the company. The Speyer syndicate
is not adverse to the shareholders In
terests and will be entirely satisfied
and believe gratified If the property
can still be saved for those whose cap
ital has created it,"
