CANADA TALKS ANNEXATION.
Kings Subjects ,Ansered Over 5oun-
Diary Decision.

Ottawa, Ont, Oct 23.--1n the senate
yesterday Sir Mackenzie Bowel. lead
err Of the opposition, asked for infor-
nation concerning the Alaska bound
airy award. Mr. Scott, for the govern
ment, replied that the most important
reason why the Canadian commission
ers did not approve of the award, was
that 1t was not judicial document
decision.
Sir Mackenzie Bowel said that it
was unfortunate that in every case
when negotiations have taken place
between the United States and Eng
land where Canada was affected the
United States diplomats had succeed
ed in securing islands which command
most important points of the domin-
ion. There was the island right OPP
posite the harbor of Port Arthur In
case Of difficulty. he said that island
would have to be secured by the
British people for, II fortified, 1t
would command the entrance to the
harbor. Unless that was done the
United States could secure ii and with
the guns they have at present would
be able to destroy the whole connec-
ton between east and west. 1t was
the same with the island of San Juan,
another secured by treaty negotia-
lions.
'Now," said Mr.. Mackenzie, "the
United States will command Fort
Simpson. In every case Canadian In
terests were sacrificed" i
Senator McAullen said that the de-
cision would create as much dissatis-
faction In Canada as there was in the
Transvaal and in Ireland

feeling is very bitter over the award
of the Alaskan boundary commission.
There is much talk Of annexation and
of Canada becoming independent. bus
mess men being generally much dis
satisfied at what they pronounce Brit
ish disregard of Canadian interests
to please the United States.
1t Is a matter of comment that the
loudest among the discontinued are
Englishmen residing here.
Many Of these say that Canada will
never achieve her greatest possibili-
ties until she becomes part OF the
United States.
Rev. Elliott s. Rowe, the leading
Methodist minister of British Colum-
bia. and who, with Chief Justice Hun
ter, constituted the labor commission
which sat this summer, in an inter-
view here said:
Il am a Britisher, and have al
ways been Brit.sher, but IL Great
Britain is to hand Canada over piece
meal to the United States, ! say let
us join the American republic also.
BY doing SO now we are large enough
and pcpulous enough and important
enough to have something to say re-
garding the terms OF such annexation
and also would be potent enough 10
have something 10 say in the affairs of
the republic Of which we would form
a part. But II we wait until our best
and richest territory is given away.
we shall simply be absorbed. II looks
to- me as If Canada had won the case
and lost the territory"

POWERS TO TURKEY.
Want suzerainty over Macedonia for
Two Years.


Constantinople, Oct. 26.-The
scheme of the powers for the anchor
alton of affairs in Macedonia has been
submitted to the porte. 1t has for its
guiding principle control and suryeil-
lance over all branches of the admin.
istration of the disturbed provinces
by Austria and Russia for a period OF
two years.
The proposals include the appoint
ment Of one Austrian and one Russian
assessor. to be attached to the staff
of Hilmi Pasha, the inspector gener-
al, with corps OF assistants, secre-
taries and interpreters. whose duties
will be TO have control over all the
acts of the provincial authorities. An
European general in the Turkish SER
vice is to be appointed to command
the gendarmerie, and he will be as
sisted by an adequate number of Rus
sian and Austrian officers acquainted
with the languages of the country,
and IL necessary by Austrian and Rus
sian non-commissioned officers. A
couple of further important proposals.

Opposition to the whole scheme is
expected on the part of the porte, but
the Austrian and Russian ambassa-
doris demand the adoption Of the plan
with the least possible delay. 1t is
thought some OF the other powers
may object to the appointment of ex-
clusively Austrian and Russian asses
sors and demand that the commission
OF control be given a more interna-
t!onal character.
