The first experiments We're made here two

CANADIANS REFUSE
TO SIGN DECISION
Emphasized Their Attitude by.
Walking Out Ct the Cab
met Room.
ALREADY HAS MAJORITY
Conduct Of Canadian Officials Cannot
Affect Decision, as the Signatures

ers Insure Finality.

London, Oct. 21.-A draft of the de-
rision cached blythe Alaskan boundary
commissioners, as by the
Associated Press, was signed by a ma
jority of the commissioners. Messrs-
Aylesworth and Jette, the Canadian
commissioners, refused to sign.
The decision grants all the American
contentious with the exception of the,
one relating to the Portland canal. The
signatories We're Lord CHIEF Justice AL
Eerstone and Senator Lodge Turner and
Secretary Root, h American commits
sioners. They constituted a majority,
and this insured finality.
Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette carried
their %outspoken disapproval of the de-
ciaion t. the point OF refusing to sign
even that section of the decision Civ
ing the Portland canal to Canada, and
they emphasized their attitude by
walking out of the cabinet room in the
foreign office before the Signatures of
the others had been affixed to the his
toric document.
The only thing remaining to be done
ut this session is that the majority of
the tribunal complete and sign the NAP
which accompanies the decision, and
which minutely determines the course
pf the boundary in accordance with the
American contentious contained in
question No. 5.
The refusal of Messrs. Aylesworth
and Jette to coincide in Lord Aver
stones view vas only known to a few
persons here, but at the foreign office
md in the government circles 1T has
treated a painful impression. There is
no hope expressed that the Canadian
commissioners will reconsider their at
litude and sign the e~ngrossed copy of
the decision, which VIII stand as the

Canton, S. D., Oct. 21.-The mer-
chants of this city and county are pre-
pairing to resist the action of the state
board of equalization who recently
raised the county assessment on goods
End merchandise 65 per cent. The mer-
chants will resist on the ground that
the equalization makes the tax too
high and is therefore unjust. A meet
