declaration of the Republican national
platform of 1896. virtually pledging
protection to American sugar pro-
ducers. Mr.: Roosevelt's attitude Is
held to be violation OF that pledge or
hts party. Yet, as President, he has
committed himself unalterably to Gu
ban reciprocity, and as members OF
the party OF which he is now the OF
fetal head the Republicans in congress
are supposed to follow his lead.
AS to the action, or non-action, OF
the beet sugar interests, we are not
authorized to speak. but we think II
very questionable whether the real
friends of beet sugar will withdraw
their opposition on the theory that
five-year treaty with its reduced tarir
proviso is preferable to continued agi-
tation. 1t is much more reasonable
to suppose that they would prefer to
have the treaty beaten once for all in
a fair fight, with the certainty that 1t
can never again come up under Re
publican administration as a disturber
of peace inside the Republican party.
The San Francisco Chronicle may be
considered good authority on this
point In an extended article of ap-
proving comment on the attitude OF
the American Protective Tariff league
in opposition to reciprocity in COM
petitiYe products. whether with Cuba
or with any other country, the Chron-
icle recently said:
with all the capital seeking invest
ment in this country, has any one
heard of new sugar factory even Sc
riously proposed in this state since
Cuban reciprocity was threatened?
The league is in the right and must
prevail"
AS to the less noisy but more eff
fective" opposition to which the Sun
refers as dominating the situation"
we assume that the Tariff league and
those who share it's beliefs are re-
ferred to. The cap fits, and the league
is perfectly willing to put it on and
wear it. The Tariff league opposes
any break in our present tariff bar
riers. 1t opposes the Cuban treaty be-
cauSe'it is convinced that, as the sub
says, such treaty would be brcacn
in the walls through which would fol
low treaties with France, Newfound-
land, the Argentine, Canada, and per-
haps with others, to the entire de-
rangement of ur present system Also
because the Cuban treaty would be an
act of bad faith and grossly unfair
toward the domestic agricultural in
terests, which have been guaranteed
protection in the production of sugar
and tobacco. With reasons such as
these for foundation and backing it
is not difficult to understand why this
group has been, and still is, the effec.
tive force in opposition to the Cuban
treaty" Opposition based upon prin.
ciple, upon fair play and square deal
ing generally is effective. That it
may continue to be effective in shap-
ing the action of the Republican party
in congress is profoundly to be hoped,

DAYTON, O.-One of the conclud-

which closed its annual meeting here

LUTON bitterly protesting against and
denouncing the plan of placing a

Strenqthens Free Trade Party.

LONDON-The duke of Devon
shire's adhesion to the Free Food
league is regarded as greatly strength
ening the free trade party. The lib
eral papers point out that it is a rep
etition of 1886, when the duke, on sep
arating from Mr.. Gladstone, tried to
remain Independent. but was eventu-
ally absorbed by the conservatives
So now, the duke of Devonshire and
his unionist followers will be unable
to maintain an independent attitude
of supporting the government except
on its fiscal policy, but would be COM
PEELED by the force of circumstances
to fall into line with the liberal free
traders.

OUR UNCLE WINS
UNITED STATES SUCCESSFUL IN
BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
hot A. FOOT OF LAND LOST
We Have Been Accorded Practically
All That Was contended For-Dis-
appointment to Our Canadian Neigh
bors on the North.

LONDoN,-The Alaskan boundary
commission has reached an agreement
whereby all the American contentious
are sustained with the exception of
those in relation to the Portland
canal, which Canada wins. All that
now remains to be done is for the
commissioners to afix their signatures
10 the decision and complete the map
which will accompany it. On the map
will be marked the boundary line def
nitely fixing the division of American
. and British territory on such basis
that no American citizen will lose a
foot of land he already believed he
held, while the United States will re-
tain all the waterways to the rich
Alaskan territory, with the exception
of the Portland canal, which gives
Canada the one outlet she so much
needed.
The long-standing dispute was only
settled after a wee:i of keen trying
secret deliberation between the arbi
traitors. Even up to within a few
hours of the end Of the conference
there was an acute possibility that
disagreement might result and the
whole proceedings fall to the ground.
Lord Alverstone though openly in
clined to believe in the justice of the
American argument, that the United
States was entitled to the heads of in
lets. as contained in question five, held
out that Canada had established her
case in questions two and three, deal
ing with the Portland canal,
After luncheon Senator Lodge. Sec
retary Root and Senator Turner
agreed to cede those points and to
start the American boundary line from
the head of the Portland canal, thus
giving the Canadians that channel and
some small islands on which there are
only a few disused stone houses. This
accomplish, the majority of the tri-
bunal agreed to fix, with this excep-
tion, the entire boundary as outlined
in the American case. Whether
Messrs. Aylesworsh and Jette, the
Canadian commissioners, will refuse
to sign the decision and make it
unanimous is not yet known, but it will
not affect the validity of the agree
ment if a minority report is sub
mitted By next Monday afternoon it
is hoped that everything will be ready
for signature, though the actual mark
ing of the line on the map which shall |
forever determine the respective ter
ritories, will occupy some time.
The majority of the commissioners
left the foreign Office hurriedly, in or
der 10 catch trains for weekend Wis !
its to the country. Nothing had oc- !
Cured which would lead the few on
lockers even to suspect that the dis
T,uta had reached its practical end. |
The commissioners themselves are |
still bound to secrecy until the decis- |
ion is actually rendered, and practic- |
ally few others were really aware how |
great a degree of success had attended |
the efforts of the American members |
of the tribunal.
