Room

London. Oct. 20.--A draft of the de-
cision reached by the Alaskan bound
airy commissioners was signed by a
majority Of the commissioners last
evening. Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette.
the Canadian commissioners, refused
to sign.
The decision grants all the American
contentious with the exception of the
one relating TO the Portland canal. The
signatories were Lord Chief Justice
Alverstone and Senator Lodge, Senator
Turner and Secretary Root, the Ameri-
can commissioners. They constituted
a majority and ensured finality
Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette carried
their outspoken disapproval of the de-
cision to the point of refusing to sign
even that section Of the decision Civ
ing the Portland canal to Canada, and
they emphasized their attitude by
walking out of the cabinet room in the
foreign Office before the signatures OF
the others had been affixed to the his
toric document. Their refusal to sign
has created a painful impression among
high government officials.

When Mr.. poWie opened his night
meeting in Madison sdlafe Garden he
faced an immense throng; when he
closed 1t his audience had dwindled to
only few hundred persons besides the
host he brought with him from the
west. He fretted. fumed threatened,
cajoled and finally |resorted to the use
of epithets, his hearers meanwhile
leaving the meeting, several hundred
together, drowning the sound of his
voice.
He announced tht he would tell how
Elijah" and also that he would have
something TO say to the newspapers
and their reporters His talk, which
was interspersed with several hymns,
at times when the tramp of those ieav-
ing the hall was more than his voice
could overcome. was devoted chiefly to
denunciation Of tobacco smokers, Ii
quor drinkers and newspaper men, all
of whom he classed as dirty dogs" and
dirty birds"
Several times the audience hissed
Mr. Dowie. After one such demonstra-
ton he shouted: I'VE come here, and
we get your impudence, but l will get
your hearts and then l will get your
pocketbooks.
There is nothing so joyful as spend
ing money for the Lord he continued.
"They say 1 came to New York for

his wife lost a $500 diamond pin was
untrue. as she never owned a pin like
that, nor had she lost anything. The
tales printed about his people being
hungry we're all lies, he said. He had
clicked" the press of Chicago. he
shouted, and he would lick" the press
of New York. He would lick these
''vultures."
Finally he came to the promised
story Of revelation. He quoted Scrip
ture to show that Elijah was to come
third time. A minister had told him
that ne was Elijah, but he was lOath to
believe it but finally after going over
the situation carefully he made up his
mind that he was truly Elijah Then at
the opening Of a building in Zion two
years ago he had proclaimed himself

sponsibilities Of the restoration TINT he
