AMERICA WINS
ALASKAN BOUNDARY
United States Wins All But Ono
Point Against Canadians. =
CANADA KEENLY DISAPPOINTED
boundary Commission Verbally
Agrees on Decis!On-uni states
Retains Control of All InIets
Except at Portland Canal.

London, Oct. 19.-Thc Alaska bound
airy commission Saturday reached an
agreement whereby all the American
contentious are sustained with the ex-
ception of those in relation to the Port
land canal. which Canada wins. All
that nov remains to be done is for the
commissioners to afix their signatures
to the decision and complete the map
which will accompany Il. On the map
will be marked the boundary line def
nitely fixing the division OF American
and British territory on such a basis
that no American citizen will lose a
foot Of land he already believed he
held, while the United States will get
all the waterways to the rich Alaskan
territory with the exception of the
Portland canal. which gives Canada the
one outlet she so much needed.
The lOng-standing dispute was only
settled after a week Of keen, trying,
secret deliberations between the arbi-
traitors. Even up to Don Saturday
there was an acute possibility that a
disagreement might result and the
whole proceedings fall to the ground.
Lord AlvcrstOne, though openly in
c!ined to believe in the justice Of the
American argument that the United
States was entitled to the heads OF
inlets as contained in question 5, held
out that Canada had established her
cast in questions 2 and 3, dealing with
the Portland canal.
After luncheon Senator Lodge, Sec.
rotary Root and Senator Turner agreed
to cedc those points and to start the
American boundary line from the head
of the Portland canal, thus giving the
Canadians that channel and some small
islands on which there are only a few
hisused st%Orehouses. This accom-
plishcd. the majority of the tribunal
agreed to fix. with this exception, the
entire boundary as outlined in the
American case.
BY this afternoon it. Is hoped that
everything will be ready for signature
though the actual marking of the line
on the map which shall forever deter
mine the respective territories will; Oc.
Cupy some time.

Trenton, n. J , oct. 1S-Fifteen per-
in a collision which occurred, Saturday,
ON the Belviderc division of the Penn
syIvania railroad, near WashingtOn's
crossing. The persons killed and In
jured we're laborers, who were on q
work train and were on their way to
work at Wasnlngton's crossing to re-
pair washOuts along the road. Four
teen bodies have been taken from the
he under the debris. Only two or three
Of those who were injured will be per-
manently MANNED.
Special Relief Train Sent.
As soon as the collision occurred. q
special train was sent from Trenton
with a corps of physicians. and the dead
and injured were brought to this city.
The dead men. with one Or two excep-
lions. are Italian labOrers who resided
in this city, the others being colOred
men. Their bodies were taken to the
morgue for identification.
The train bearing the men who were
killed and injured was made up of four
cars-twO coaches. in which the men
were riding, and two fiat cars in the
rear. The train stopped rear Wash
ington's crossing to receive orders re-
spccting the passing of the regular pas
senger train.
N~rnr-Endrd by Gravel Train.
While the train was standing on the
track II was run into from the rear by
u gravel train. The two fiat cars tele-
scoped the two coaches. There were
ABOUT $50 men in the two cars. AS soon
as the accident happened the Italians
became frantic, and made an attempt
To do bodily harm to the crew of the
gravel train. Word was sent to T'ren-
ton for police assistance, but the men
we're finally quietcd by the foremen.
The railroad authorities here are reti-
cent as to how the accident occurred,
but IL Is believed that the gravel train
either failed to see any adverse signal
Or that the fiagman of the first train
failed to go back a sufficient distance.
