 Younger Prisoners Have Paid the
 Other One to Shoulder the Crime.
 Vancouver, B. C., Oct 2O.-Three Chinese are charged with the murder of another Chinaman at French Bar last summer. The trial will begin at Clinton, B: C., on Wednesday. It is said that two of the prisoners have induced the eldest to accept the onus of the, crime. The provincial police say that, following Chinese custom the two young prisoners have paid the older man for his life.
 One morning two Chinese who lived and worked at French Bar appeared at the nearest neighbors with a story that their partner had been murdered and his body thrown into the river by a Chinaman who lived six miles be- low French Bar. The accused man was arrested. He turned out to be weak minded decrepitold man. who had scarcely vigor enough to walk.
 As it did not appear possible from a physical point of view that the old man could have committed the mur- der, far less drag the body to the 'riv- CT, the two informing Chinese, lusty young men were arrested and charged with the murder Although denying absolutely any knowledge of the crime, when arrested, the old Chinese now stoutly proclaims that he alone did the killing.

 London, Oct 20, 12:31 D. m.--In con sequence of the attitude maintained by the Canadian commissioners, Lord Chief Justice Alverstone decided this morning not to hold the proposed pub lie meeting of the Alaskan boundary commission. but to hand its decision to Messrs Foster and Sifton, respec- tive agents of the American and Ca nadian governments.
 The Canadian commissioners not only declined to sign the award, but said they would publicly withdraw from the commission.
