Canadians Act Ugly.

London, October 2O.-1:23 D. m.-In con- sequence of the attitude maintained by the Canadian commissioner Lord Chief Justice Alverstone decided this morning not to hold the proposed public meeting of the Alaskan boundary commission but to hand it's decision to Messrs. Foster and Sifton, respectively agents of the American and English governments.
 The Canadian commissioners not only declined to sign the award but said they would publicly withdraw from the com mission. They as well as the Canadians connected with the case are very bitter. Telegrams from Premier Laurie and other prominent persons in Canada show that this sentiment is shared generally throughout the dominion

Wanted Top of Mountains.

2. The line northward from Portland channel substantially the Canadian con- tention regarding this line was that there are mountains parallel with the coast within the meaning of the treaty of 1925, and that the tops of such mountains should be declared the boundary, the mountains nearest the sea being taken. The United States contention was that there are no mountains parallel with the coast, within the meaning of the treaty, and that the boundary must therefore be fixed under the provision of the original treaty relating to ten leagues, and so be run distance of thirty-five miles from the shore, including in the term shore" the heads of inlets, bays, etc. The tribunal finds that the Canadian contention is cor rect as to the distance of the mountains within the terms of the treaty. but the fruits of victory have been taken from Canada by fixing as a mountain line a row of mountains so far from the coast as to give the United States substantially near ly all the territory in dispute.

Providence Interested.

Providence, R. l., October 2O.-Informa- tion received of the International Bank and Trust company of America was of much interest here because circulars have been received here setting forth the ad- vantages of subscribing to the stock of the concern and because 1t was under stood that the International company was back of q trust company in this state, to which a charter was granted by the last legislature.
 It was understood that an attempt was to be made to establish chain of branches throughout the country, as we'll as in Mexico, by which it was proposed to do an immense banking business. The concern, however. never opened in this city although the Subsidiary Trust com pany secured quarters. for which, though not occupied. rent has been paid regu- larly. and extensive changes have been made in refltting the quarters

South Portland Strikes Reef Off.

TWENTY-NINE SOULS LOST
Only Seven Survivors of IlI-Fated ves- sel Reach Shore, In PitiabIe Con dition, and 1t Is Feared All
 Others Have Perished.

Marshfield, Ore, October 2O.-In a blind ing fog the steamer South Portland, bound for San Francisco from Portland, with a cargo of wheat and carrying crew of twenty-two men and four passengers, struck Cape Blanco reef while steaming at the rate of seven knots, at o'clock last evening. The South Port land immediately began to fill with water. The captain seeing that all hope of sav- ing his ship was gone, gave orders to man the life raft with all possible haste. Two boats and the life raft were lower ed. One boat, containing the captain and seventeen souls capsized as they were getting away from the sinking steamer, and only seven of the eighteen were able to get into the boat nearby.

Canadians Make Ctaten1ent

'The decision of the Alaskan boundary tribunal has been given, and in view of it's character the people of Canada are, in our judgement entitled to such explana- tion from us as will enable them to com prehend fully the manner in which their interests have been dealt with. We take up the points of the decision in the order in which they are presented in the treaty under which the tribunal was consti- tuted:
 1. The Portland Canal-There are two channels parallel with each other with four islands between them. The Canadian contention was that the north erns should be adopted The United States contended for the southern chan nel On the result of the decision depend ed the possession of the four islands. Kannaghunul, Sitklan. Wales and Pearse. When the tribunal met. after the argu- ment, and considered this question, the view of the three British commissioners was that the Canadian contention was absolutely unanswerable. A memoran- dunn was prepared and read to the com missioners embodying our views and showing it to be beyond dispute that the Canadian contention In this branch of the case should prevail and that the boundary should run to the northward of the four islands named, thus giving them sea from the Portland canal to Mt. St. Elias. Around the head of the Lynn canal the line follows the watershed, somewhat in accordance with the present provisional boundary.

Other Boat capsized.

The other boat also capsized and was seen drifting away in the thick fog, with out person in it. The survivors of the fll-fated steamer reached Port Carnford last evening in a pitiable condition from exposure to the cold wind and waves. They have little hopes for the remainder of the passengers and crew.

mits Suicide.

Kingston, Jamaica, Feb. 9.-The
British steamer Para, which has ar
rived here from Colon, brings the news
of the suicide on January 80 of the for
mer Colombian revolutionary general,

lished letter December IL advising
Colombia to await the lapsing of the

Gen. Uribe-Uribe had committed cui-

After his surrender to the Colon bian

PREACH AGAINST CRIME.
Kentucky Pulpit Orators Urge Re-

Louisville, KY, Feb. "a campaign
against crime in Louisville and Ken
lucky was begun by the ministers of
the state Sunday. In nearly every
church in this city special services
were held, and the ministers and prom
inent laymen made addresses urging
reform in the administration of the
criminal laws. Specials from various
points in Kentucky state that similar
services were held in the churches
throughout the commonwealth. The
services were the outcome of a petit
ton prepared by the Louisville Minis
terial association several days ago re-
questing that the ministers of the
state set aside Sunday for the purpose
of preaching against crime, which the
petition declared was prevalent
throughout Kentucky. The direct
cause of the action of the Ministerial
association was number of murders
which have occurred in Louisville and
throughout the state during the past
few months. z ~< 81 =

from southeast to southwest.
