LONDON. Oct 1.-THE Alaskan
Boundary Commission which has been
considering the Canadian and American
claims to the territory in the vicinity OF
the Klondike and the Yukon. in Alaska.
arrived at its decision in the matter to-
day
The award. which will be made fiaal
Monday by the signatories TO the agree
ment. recognizes the American claims
as valid with but one exception, namely,
the Portland Canal being held to be
within Canadian territory.
The American Claims
The American claims recited the facts
from a time prior to 1921 to the present
date. This review discussed the diplo-
matte negotiations between Russia. the
United States. and Great Britain during
all these years: the occupation OF the
sion of Alaska to the United States. and
the universally accepted Interpretation
of the treaty provisions delimiting the
boundary prior to and at the time of the
csssion. and the continued occupation of
the territory By the United States ever
sirce.
Jurisdiction Exercised.
The American commissioners con-
tended that Cape Muzcn was the point
OF commencement of the line of de-
markation between the two countries
and the court was asked to fix the
boundary as indicated in the treaty of
1S25. II was also argued that the tri-
bunal should decide that It was the in
tention OF the convention OF ISIS that
there should remain in the exclusive
possession OF Russia continuous strip
of coast OF ten marine leagues in
width on the main land between the
British possessions and the waters of
the ocean. the latter to include bays.
ports. etc. extending from the 5sth
degree Of north latitude to the list
degree OF west longitude
Jurisdiction Exercised.
The American argument concluded as
follows:
''It is respectfully submitted that *
has been concluxively shown that for
over seventy years before the present
claim Of Great Britain was preferred
Russia and the United States have ex-
ercised jurisdiction over the waters anC
coasts in dispute: that throughout that
period Great Britain never sought iu
any way to assert any sovereignty over
any part OF them. and that By her Of
fetal maps she concurred in the claims
made notoriously and continuously By
the official maps Of Russia and the
United States. that the boundary line
