ONE CRUMB
 FOR CANADA America Gets Rest Of
 Loaf. THE BOUNDARY DECISION Portland Canal Remains in
 Dominion. All the Other Contentious of the United States are Upheld by
 the Commission of Arbitration.
THE BOUNDARY DECISION

London, Oct 1.-The Alaskan boundary commission has verbally agreed to grant all the American. contentious except Tor the Portland canal, which goes to Can ada. The formal agreement ts oeins drawn up and will be rendered on Mon- day.
 The successful termination of the Alas kan boundary arbitration this afternoon came as a complete surprise to all inter- ested in the case, except, perhaps' the commissioners themselvs.
 When the tribunal adjourned at S:so ?. m.. it was unknown that the decision had been reached. Indeed, so general was the impression that no decision would De reached till next week that several of the counsel and others employed-in the case left London soon after the adjourn ment. 7 The News leaks Out.
 However, the Associated Press learned That a vote had been taken, and that 3 decision to grant ell the American con- .entions except that for the Portland ca nal, which goes to Canada, had been arrived at.
 But. as cabied yesterday. while the Americans throughout have been very confident, no vote had previously been taken, and no one could before this af- ternoon say that the United States had won her case.
 No hitch occurred during the entire de- Alterations, and as these progressed the confidence of the American commission CTS that decision substantially uphold ing the American claims would be given increased, but 1t was admitted that It would be necess,-cy to agree to a compro- mise on the Portland canal.
 The only really disquieting' feature of the situation for the Americans during the last few days has been vague idea that Chief Justice Alverstone. even if he concluded to take the American view. might be unwilling to so on record with a decision to that effect, and that . dis; agreement was likely.
