McRae Discusses Award.

He said that while he regretted the de- cision which placed twenty miles of their railroads under the jurisdiction of the American flag. 1t was in reality more a matter of sentiment than business. The reciprocal bonding arrangements between Canada and the United States would con tinue. Both countries would suffer equal ly and enormously by disturbance of the arrangements and 1t was in harmony with the enlightened spirit of civilization to extend rather than curtail them.

LODGE NOT TALKATIVE REFUSE TO DISCUSS THE ALAS
 KAN AWARD. Ex-Senator Turner Says Lord Aver stone Settled the Case on Its
 Merits as a Jurist Should.

New York, Oct. 3o.-On account of his official connection with the Alaskan tri- bunal, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, declined to discuss the award of the tri- bunal on his arrival here today by the steamer Cedric. Senator Lodge said the members of the tribunal had been very handsomely treated while in London, but as one of the arbitrators he could not even say that he was satisfied with the award and declined to say anything about the attitude of the Canadian Commission CTS in refusing to sign the award
 Joseph Ward, representative of the Can adian Government, and one of the assist ant secretaries of the tribunal, who also was on the Cedric. said that the award was of course disappointment from the Canadian point of view, but offered no further comment. apearing anxious, how ever, to ascertain how the decision had been received in Canada. oI
 Former Senator Turner, of Washington another American member oflthe tribu- nal. was not willing to discuss how the agreement came to be reached. but it was admitted that the decision giving two is- lands in the Portland canal to the United States was based on Vancouver's narra- tive of his voyage of exploration. The question hinged on whether he had called the water to the south of the island the channel or whether he had gone to the north of them. It was found that he re- corded having gone from the entrance to point of land above the island in a certain time. To do this 1t was figured that he had entered the broad channel, followed 1t up and turned in between the four islands,
 This led the commissioners to decide that the two islands lying near the mouth of the canal and opposite Port Simpson belonged to the United States.
 MT. Turner, while he was not willing to discuss in detail the subject, admitted that this was true. Speaking of these two islands, he said:
 They are of little value to us except from strategical standpoint. I believe that the new trans-continental railroad which is to be built north of the Cana dian Pacific will have Port Simpson for its Pacific terminal. This makes the is- lands of importance to Canada"
 Touching a report that the Canadians charged that Lord Alverstone had been practically won over by kindness, the ex- Senator said he did not think that such a charge could be. If anything" he aded. ''the hospitality and kindness was on Lord Alverstbne's side. He was hos pitable to all corners and entertained us at his country place. The question to be settled was one of right under the in ternational law, and Lord Alverstone, who Is an able jurist, settled the case on its merits.''
 MT. Turner regarded it as fortunate that the Commission was able to agree, and he considered 1t step forward in the settlement of all future disputes.

ABOUT COLONEL BELKNAP.

Something of the life, and oharac-
teristics of Colonel Morris B. Belknap,
Republican nominee for governor, is
given BY the Louisville Post, and
shows that he is gentleman Of feel
ing and resources, a clever business
man, and one who has always favored
progress in all things. The criticisms
of some of his opponents are effective
" answered by this Post in the follow
ing:
"The Republican convention has Sc
lected as its candidate for governor
Colonel Morris Belknap. In dong SO
it has named a merchant of character
and capacity. and a public spirited
Citizen, who has been active in all
public enterprises that tax mans
time and energy without bringing any
personal rewards. Mr.. Belknap has
been prominently identified with the
board Of trade. He was for years con-
nected with the Louisville Legion, and
when it enlisted in the army he en-
tered the army with the Legion. He
has been a most useful member OF the
board Of park commissioners and gives
his careful attention to any work he
undertakes.
"In philsnthropic work the city
owes much to Mr.. Belknap and to his

No wonder Paducah is so far behind
other cities in the improvement Of her
streets and sidewalks, when the legis-
lative boards waste. week after week
in senseless and inefficient wrangling
and inactivity. Many months have
passed since the city decided to pave
several blocks of streets in the bust
ness part of town, but practically moth
ing has ever been accomplished to-
wards doing it, The improvement is
virtually today where it was a year
ago. II the members Of the boards
can't make up their minds what ought
to be done and then do it, they should
resign and let somebody else try. They
wouldn't waste time this way in the

The writer of this remarkable ef-
fusion is a young business man who
is a partner in large furniture con

and. OF course, signs the firms name

ness that he concluded his invitation
with the stereotyped sentence above,

however, appreciated the situation,

to receive a letter addressed to him

Explanations and apologies followed

man. Even the meaningless query
"How's business?" sufficed to drive
him frantic.

The report of Major Buck. of the
Third infantry, on the Kentucky mill.
tia is a mild but significant arraign'
ment OF the administration, and steps
should ut once be taken to rectify ex-
listing defects. The value of good,
we'll disciplined militia is never fully
appreciated until troops are needed
most, and then the inefiiciency shows
up to the worst possible advantage.
Major Buck says there is too much Of
that evil so apparent in Kentcky. of
appointing men for personal reasons
on the various stats and as officers,
instead of appointing them for their
ability. In fact, il may re seen from
his report that be finds the Kentucky
militia, particularly as to the officers,
principally q coterie OF administration
favorites, with 4 few earnest. well
meaning and hard working men who
never get chance to do anything but
keep up the organization for the bene-
fit of the lazy incompetents who are
members for pleasure, profit or promi-
neuce. Now that the world can see
what Kind of state guard Kentucky
has, it is time to begin q reformation
that will not stop until Kentucky
ranks with the best.
