question had been answered in the af-
frmativc.
Seventh question-What, If any
exist, are the mountains referred to as
situated parallel to the coast, which
mountains. when within ten marine
leagues from the coast, are declared TO
form the eastern boundary? Answer:
The majority of the tribunal have Sc
lected the line of peaks starting at the
head of Portland channel and running
along the high mountains, on the outer
edge of the mountains, shown on the
maps of survey made in 1893, extending
to Mt. Whipple, and thence along
what is known as the Hunter line or
1878, crossing the Stickine river about
"A miles from its mouth. thence NORTH
erly along the high peaks to Rates
Needle, from KaJc's Needle TO the Dew
lis Thumb. The tribunal stated that
there was o sufficient evidence, ow-
ing to the absence Of a complete sur
vey, to identify the mountains which
correspond TO those intended by the
treaty. This cOntcmplates a further
survey of that portion by the two gov
crnment8. From the vicinity Of Dew
IFS Thumb the line runs to the CONT
mental watershed, II ence through White
and Taiya or Chilknot passes, westerly
to n mountain indicated On the map At
tached 10 the treaty as Il so feet,
thence to another mountain $500 feet,
and from that point in Il somewhat
curved line acrOaa the head of the
glaciers to Mt. F~airwcathar. This
places the Canadians outpost ON the up
per water of Chilk1t river in British
territory, and the mining camps of
porcupine and Glacier creek in Amer
lean territory. From Mt. Fairweat.ler
the line passes north on high peaks
along the mountains indicated on tn"
map by Mounts Pinta, Ituhnma and
Vancouver to Mt. st. Elias"

Montreal. Oct. Zl.-A strong feeling
Of disappointment and resentment per-
vades the local atmosphere in regard
to the Alaskan award, but while in pri-
vate talk people express themselves as
disguised, they guard themselves YER"
carefully in their public %utterances, and
it is difficult to get much beyond ex-
pressions of disappointment. Some OF
the prominent men like Mr.. McNicoll,
one OF the vice-presidents OF the Ca.
madam Pacific railroad, openly ridicule
the idea that the Canadian interests
have NOT been looked after properly
and havS been sacrificed.

London, Oct. 21.-Messrs. Jette and
Aylesworth, the Canadian commission
ers, in a statement of their reasons for
refusing to sign the award, say they
consider the finding Of the tribunal re-
garding the islands at the entrance Of
Portland channel and the mountain
line is not a judicial one. They add:
"The decision of the Alaska boun-
dairy tribunal has been given, and in
view of its character the people of
Canada are, in our judgment, entitled
TO such explanation from us as will en-
able them to comprehend fully the
manner in which their interests have
been dealt with. We take up the points
of the decision in the order in which
they are presented by the treaty under
which the tribunal was constituted:
"First-The Portland channel-there
are two channels parallel with each
other. with four islands between them.
The Canadian contention was that the
northern channel should be adopted.

southern channel. On the result Of

The four islands, K"anna2humlt, Sitklan,

this question, the view Of the three
British commissioners was that the
Canadian contention was absolutely
UnanSWCrable. A memorandum was
prepared and read 10 the commissions

it to be beyond dispute that the Cana
dian contention in this branch Of the
case should prevail, and that the boun-
Diary should run to the n~orthward OF
the four islands named, thus giving
them to Canada. Notwithstanding
these facts, the members of the
tribunal, other than ourselves, have
now signed an award giving two OF
the islands, ~Kannaghunut and Sitklan
to he United States. These two Is,
lands are the outermost of the four
