INTERESTS SACRIFICED.
English Diplomats Roundly Scored for
Alaskan Award.

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 23.-ln the SEN
ate yesterday Sir Mackenzie Bowel.
leader of the opposition, asked for In
formation concerning the Alaskan
boundary award. Mr.. Scott, for the
government, replied that the most i'm.
portant reason why the Canadian
commissioners did not approve of tho
award was that 1t was not a judicial
decision.
lord Alverston had in the first In.
stance agreed that the center of the
Portland canal should f"~m the bound
airy lines. The four Islands should
have gore to either the one country or
the other, depending on the position
of the line through the Portlan~ chan
mel, consequently Lord Alverstone
should rot have decided to throw two
of the islands in the United Slater
and two in Canada.
Sir Mackenzie Bowel said 1t was
unfortunate that in every case when
negotiations have taken place between
the United States and England where
| Canada was affected, the United
States diplomats secured islands that
had been most important points in the
Dominion. The island right opposite
Port Arthur, he said, in case of diff
Guilty, would have to be secured by
the British people for, If fortified, IT
would command the entrance to the
harbor. Unless that V done the
United States could secure it. and with
the guns they have at present, would
be able to destroy the whole connec
ton between east and west. 1t was
the same with the island of San Juan
another secured. by tgeaty negotia
| tiOnS.
Now" said Sir Mackenzie. "thc
United States will command For'
Simpson. In every case Canadian In
forests were sacrificed"
Senator Mcmillan said the difference
would create as much dissatisfaction
in Canada as there was in the Trans
vaal and in Ireland.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec 23.-The stock market
for the most part continues in state of
Practically all of the circu-
lation in today's market was within the
Stock Exchange body itself. without any
perceptible share from outside sources.
The feature Of the days news was the
increase announced in the Lake Shore
semi annual dividend from 3h to per
cent; the other Vanderbilts responded to
this news. and it had a mild tonic effect
on the general market The three point
drop in Lake Erie and Western was a
marked exception among the Vanderbilts.
The yearly statement of the Lake Shore
earnings was the subject OF widespread
comment in connection with the dividend
increase, the surplus after charges and
dividends (partly estmated). falling to
1852. 013 compared with $3,272 OS6 for the
previous year. The subject of future rail
road bond issues was kept alive b. the
suppositions as to the disposition of the
proposed Rock Island consolidated refund
ing issue OF S250,000,00o. Runors on this
subject were various and conflicting The
general impression is that there was heavy
borrowing by various railroad systems
for the purpose of funding temporary
loans and for other purposes as head OF
the money market is a prime factor IN
aggravating the holiday dullness of the
