ALASKA BOUNDARY DECISION.
Majority Of Commission Favors Case
of the United States.

draft of the decision reached by
the Alaska boundary commissioners
was signed by a majority of the com
missioners Messrs. Aylesworth and
Jette, Canadian commissioners, refused
to sign. The decision grants all the
American contentious with the ex-
ception of the one relating to the Port
land canal. The signatories were Lord
Chief Justice Alverstone, Senator
Lodge, Senator Turner and Secretary
Root, the American commissioners.
They constitute majority and in
sured finality.
Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette car
ried their outspoken disapproval of the
decision to the point of refusing to
sign even that section of the decision
giving the Portland canal to Canada,
and they emphasized their attitude by
walking out of the cabinet room in
the foreign Office before the sigma
lures of the others had been affixed to
the historic document.
The award relating to the Portland
canal gives the United States two is
lands, Kannaghunut and Sitklan, COM
mandlng the entrance of the Portland
channel and the ocean passage to Fort
Simpson and destroying the strategic
value of Wales and Pearse islands,
which are given to Canada
The mountain line adopted as the
boundary lies so far from the coast
as to give the United States substan-
TALLY all the territory in dispute. The
line completely clears all the bays and
inlets and means Of access to the sea,
giving the United States complete
land barrier between Canada and the
sea, from the Portland canal to Mount
st. Elias.
Around the head of the Lynn canal
the line follows the watershed, some
what in accordance with the present
provisional boundary.
The decision of the Alaska bound
ary arbitration commission In favor of
the United States has caused intense
anger and disappointment in Canada.
In the House of Commons Saturday
Mr.. Gourley, Nova Scotian member,
said; "All that the United States has
got to do Is to make claim for Can
ada and 1t will get 1t by boastfulness
and dishonest effort. The last two
generations OF Englishmen were de.
| generates and towards. They have no
leader since Pitt died. Thank God
Chamberlain Is galvanlzing them and
! putting new blood into them" Mr.
Ross protested against speaking about
Englishmen in this way, and Mr.. Gour'
ley retorted that they went around
with binders on, unfit to drive sheep
across the country.

QUAY WILL RUN AGAIN,
SAYS SENATOR PENROSE
Decision Likely to Cause Trouble, as
Two Years Ago He Declared
He Would Retire.

Senator Quay viii acceg- a re-eiec-
ton to the Senate from the Legislature
of Pennsylvania in January, 1905. This
announcement is made by his colleague.
Boies PenrOse. &c is interesting as a
news item. simply by reason OF the fact
that when Mr.. Quay was reelected at
Harrisburg two years ago. after he had
been denied admission to the Senate on
the appointment of Governor Stone he
declared publicly that he would not
consent to serve another term.
Mr.. Quay professed to be very angry
when told that his candidacy for re-
election had been announced by his col
league. He refused either to deny or
confirm it. Il attend TO my political af-
sScctrs in my own way" was all he would
say, when asked about it.
II is certain. however. that the an
nouncement by Senator Penrose viii stir
up a big political muss in Pennsylvania.
Various persons over there have been
planning TO run for the Senate under
the belief that when Mr.. Quay two
years ago declared he would not again
be candidate. he meant what he said.

The consensus of opinion is that it

JOSEPH JOHNSON SHOT
BY JOHN WILLIAMS
Fatal ARRAY Last Night on Washing
ton Road.

ALEXANDRIA Va. Nov. 26-An al
legged murder occurred last night about
10 o'clock on the Washington Road,
short distance from Alexandria. when
John Williams. negro. shot and killed
Joseph Johnson. also a negro. in what
he claims was self-defense. Policemen
Knight and Belts. OF this city. and
Constable Grady. OF Alexandria county
arrested Williams and Martha Johnson.
wife of the murdered man. and they
are held at police headquarters to
await the action Of the county authori-
ties To representative OF The Times
this morning Williams told the follow
ing story:
4 was picking coal out of car on
the Washington Road last night when
l heard woman cry Don't cut my
throat L ran in the direction from
which the sound came, and saw Joe
johnson and his wife scufiing John
son had a razor in his hand / asked
what was the trouble, and Johnson re-
piled. III kill YOU too. and made an
advance upon me. Then l pulled out
my pistol and shot. l don't know where
| hit Johnson / then went to my home,
near Arlington, and was there when
was arrested"
Johnson, so Williams claims, had
threatened his life several times.
Martha Johnson. the wife OF the muir
dered man. told The Times the follow
ing:
Il have not lived with my husband for
"A number of years, because / could not
get along with him. Last night ne came
u the house of a friend of mine across
the canal. where I was staying. and
wanted me to go home with him. 1 d
not want 10 go, but he made me. When
on the road near Mr.. Taylor's barn he
pulled out a razor and said: If you don't
go with me / viii kill you / then cried
out / did not see anybody around. but
heard a shot fired and my husband
dropped dead"
The police theory is that the murder
was a deliberate plan on the part of
Williams and the Johnson woman 70
murder johnson. They suspect that the
woman decoyed her husband TO the spot
on washington Road where he was
shot, and that Williams shot him to get
him out of the way. The police say John
son was arrested in Alexandra abou;
three years ago and served term OF
one year in the city jail for assaultine

The body of Johnson was taken in
charge by Undertaken Wheatley, Of this
city. and taken 10 his funeral rooms. in
