the commission included the restriction of
pelagic sealing, the North Atlantic and lake
fisheries. border immigration. commercial
reciprocity, mining regulations in the
Yukon district and the Alaskan boundary.
The commission held it's first meeting in
Quebec on Aug. %. 1895 This meeting lasted
till Oct. 10, when the commission adjourned
to meet in Washington Nov. ], and a few
weeks later it adjourned to meet again In
Quebec. This commission reached settle
ment of all the matters before it except the
boundary question, and it finally agreed
upon a modus vivendi fixing provisional
boundary in order to prevent clash be-
tween miners in the border districts The
boundary question, however, is as far from
settlement as ever.
The new treaty provides for the appoint
ment Of joint commission Of three mem
bers each side. Great Britain wanted
an umpire to decide in case of a tie, but the
United States would not agree to that. One
Of the conditions of the new treaty is that.
whatever the finding of the commission
may be, the existing American settlements
on tidewater on the Alaskan coast shall
continue to be the property of the United
States and will be American territory and
within the jurisdiction of this government
This means that, while Canada may get an
outlet to tidewater, she cannot get control
of any port that is now within the jurisdic-
ton of the United States. The question Is
going to be a very difficult one to settle.

cred chares brought against George A.
Ralph, engineer Of the commission, by
Public Examiner s. T. Johnson. These
charges resulted in Ralph's Indictment by
the Polk county grand jury. but the
cases we're noled this week on account of
insufficient evidence. A. Y. Merrill, who
represented the state, agreed to the nolle
because he could not get a change of venue,
and Judge Watts who heard the case,
has allowed Ralphs bill for certain
bitches The claim is that Ralph charged
three different countries for work done
on the same day, and that he made
practice of duplicating charges.
Both Mr.. Merrill and the public examin-
er appeared before the drainage commits
sion yesterday. The commission con-
sists Of Governor Van SAINT, Secretary of
State Hanson, and State Auditor Iverson.
Governor Van SAINT had to leave last
evening for st. Louis, and the commission

whether Ralph shall be retained as en-
gineer of the board. - ~, ..~s-...,

American contributions average $4,000

of the! funds thus far, but the responses
from other sections are very generous.

of the local committee, has received a let
