TIE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.

Canadfnn Counsel Beaoanaes Con-
tentioas Of the United sfases.
London, Sept 80 When the Alaskan
boundary commission resumed its ses-
sion. Christopher Robinson. K. c.. who
had suffered from severe indisposition,
resumed his speech in behalf Of the
Canadian claims, though at the sugges-
ton Of Chief Justice Alverstone coun-
sci remained seated. Mr. Robinson
dealt vigorously with the faliibility OF
the maps Of the district under eonten-
ton, claiming that the American do
ductions therefrom were therefore
weak
Mr.. Robinson continued his speech
after the luncheon adjournment Rid
culing the United States contention
that il bad secured the allegiance Of
the Alaska natives, be said:
with bottle Of whisky and blan-
ket you can obtain the allegiance Of
any Indian
Replying to Lord Alverstone's query
as to whether counsel could prove that
the coast mentioned in article re.
ferred exclusively to the strip which
Russia was to obtain by the treaty,
Mr. Robinson maintained that article
Z meant reciprocal privileges in the
lisiere strip previously referred to-,
implying Great Britain's jurisdiction
over certain inland waters and not
south of latitude 54.40, as the United
States contends. Counsel argued that
Russia had not the right to grant priv
leges south Of latitude $40.
Hannis Taylor, former United States
minister to Spain, of counsel for the
United States, followed Mr.. Robinson.
Dealing with the international law
phase of the dispute and discussing the
Hudson Bay eompany's relations with
the British empire, he maintained that
the company's officials were empower
ed to represent Great Britain from an
international point Of view and that
therefore transactions with the Hudson
Bay company must be regarded as hav-
ing the weight of that relation

Protests FROM Great Drftafn.

London, Sept. 30.--The Constantine
pie correspondent Of the Times tele-
graphs that Great Britain through her
ambassador has made vigorous and
constant protests against the excuses
committed by the Turkish troops, but
that she apparently does not feel her
self strong enough to break down the
opposition Of Germany, Russia and
Austria and insist upon real instead Of
paper reforms in Macedonia.
