London May . l A. m.-The British Alaska
case has been worked UP with scientific thor
oughness by the Canadian staff under the gen.
eraI direction of F. c. Wade and Edward Blake
The first portion of the evidence, with MAPS
documents. correspondence. surveys and other
material, bound in scarlet morocco was sent
last evening to the American Ambassador IL
expected that the American Commission at
Washington would transmit the first porslon OF
its simultaneously to the British anpassa-
DOR 1t is not known whether any discoveries
have been made in the archives of the Foreign
Office but the Hon. C. Sifton. Joseph Pope and
eight experts, who have been assisting the
counsel have been laboring assiduously for
weeks in a critical examination of the evidence
and preparation of the entire outfit The
Canadian Commission admitted last night that
the evidence ready for the American am
bassador but considered it undiplomatic 10
present a summary of the budget, or to reVeai
the general line of argument. Mr.. Sifton and
the majority of the commission will return to
Canada before the end of May. but MI Wade
will remain until the general meeting of the IN
ternational tribunal in September.
It is anticipated by many acute observers here
that the visit of King Edward to Paris will have
important political consequences. This anticipa-
ton is mainly based on the fact that the VISIT
is the first one paid by a British monarch, as
such, to the French Republic. Queen Victoria
was frequently in France of late years, but she
invariably travelled as the Countess of Bal
moral.
Thanks in a great measure to the perSistehcy
of Sir Gilbert Parker, the Deceased Wife's SISTER
bill was advanced stage further yesterday
than it has attained for a great number OF years.
The debate however, showed that the House OF
Commons is heartily sick of the subject
The warmth of the Kings reception at Paris
has created profound impression here Inc
editorial columns of this mornings papers ring
with praises of France and the French, while
the King himself is credited with having
achieved a notable personal triumph.
Dispatches from all the Continental capitals
agree in declaring that the Balkan situation
has been rendered exceedingly grave by the
dynamite outrages at Salonica.
There was a great crush at the private view
at the Academy yesterday. The general COM
ment was that It was a Shannon Academy, and
that Mr. Sargents work rivalled if not out
