SENATOR FAIRBANKS PLEASED.


Senator Charles w. Fairbanks, who was
the chairman of the American contingent
of the British and United States joint high
commission that met in 1898 in Quebec to
take up the Alaskan boundary question, Is
well pleased with the decision reported in
the press dispatches from London. He says
that this decision gives the United States
practically every point for which the COM
mission originally contended and that the
concession in connection with the Portland
canal is of comparative unimportance.
When the joint high commission met in
1895 the American contention was that the
Alaskan boundary line should pass along
the southeast line of the two islands in
the Portland canal, giving the United
States the northwest arm, or entrance to
the canal to the head of the canal thence
north and west along mountain crest ten
marine leagues, or thirty miles, from tide
water: while the British claim lay In the
entire Portland canal and thence north and
west along the mountains that virtually
skirted the coast. Granting the British
claim, the United States would have lost
not only vast amount of territory, but
the important ports of Dyea and Skagway.
The meeting of the joint high commission
at Quebec was adjourned without accom-
plishing anything because of the inability
TO reach an agreement on this question.
The members OF the American commission
proposed another commission to take up
this question, and the proposition was ac-
cepted, resulting i'm the joint commission
now I'm session in London, from which the
important decision is unofficialiy reported.
In commenting on the decision last night
Senator Fairbanks said:
The decision OF the Alaskan boundary
commission is eminently satisfactory. 1t
sustains substantially the entire American
claim, and Is essentially a complete justifi-
cation of the position taken by the Ameri-
can members of the United States and
British Joint high commission which met
i'm Quebec I'm 1898. The United States will
now be permitted to hold all the territory
i'm Alaska purchased of Russia in 1867 with
out further dispute. Our title. which was
never disputed until within the last few
years. since the gold discoveries. is now
quoted.
.'The press report sent from London In
dicates that the two small islands at the
mouth OF the Portland canal are conceded
to Great Britain; and that the boundary
line will run along the northwest side OF
the islands and not along the canal at the
southeast side This is a matter about
which there was some reasonable ground
of dispute The islands are small and are
known as Wales and Pearse islands. They
are of no great commercial Importance.
They were originally claimed by the United
State, but IL by conceding them the more
important contentious of the American
commissioners are granted / feel that the
United States has every cause for SatiSfac-
ton over the terms of the settlement"

the reinstatement, and the Harlem Judges
