Leoves Boundary Where It Now Is.
Washington. oct. 19.-The effect of
tho decision, it is stated here. is to
leave the Alaskan boundary practi-
cally where it is now. The main point
of the Canadian contention involved
the outlet from the KloEdike gold
fields at the head of Lynn canal, in
cluding the ports Of Skagway and
Dyea. through which the Klondike
business Is transacted. These ports
remain American territory. The deci-
sion is taken 10 concede The American
claim to a strip 10 leagues IN width
from tidcwater, extending from the
head of Portland canal to the 141st
meridian of west longitude The
Americans laid especial stress upon
their contention that this strip should
be measured from the heads Of estu-
aries, or bays, while the Canadians
argued that the measurement should
be from the main water Of the ocean.
The control Of the sites of Slxagway
and Dyea was involved in this con
troversy.

BOUNDARY OPINION
FAVORABLE To US
United States Wins All
Points But One in the
Alaskan Case
CANADA GETS PORTLAND CANAL

London, Oct. 19.-The Alaska Boun-
dary Commission has reached an
agreement wherby 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 aflx their sigma
lures to the decision and complete the
map which will accompany It. On
the map will be marked the boundary
line definitely fixing the division of
American and British territory, on
such a basis that no American citizen
will lose a foot Of land he already be-
lieved he held, while the United States
will get 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 iong standing dispute was only
settled after a week Of keen, trying
secret deliberation between the arbi-
traitors. Even up to the last moment
there was an acute possibility that a
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
inlets. as contained in question five,
held out that Canada had established
her case in questions two and three,
dealing with the Portland canal.
Senator Lodge, Secretary Root and
Senator Turner agreed to cede those
points and to start the American boun-
dary line from the head Of the Port
land canal, thus giving the Canadians
that channel and some small islands
on which there are only a few
disused storehouses. This accom-
plished, the majority of the tribunal
agreed to fix, with this exception, the
entire boundary as outlined in the
American case, Messrs. Aylesworth
and Jette, the Canadian commission
ers. refused to sign the decision. and
make It unanimous, but it will not
affect the validity of the agreement
This afternoon everything was ready
for signature.

sponded twice year-at Christmas
and on her birthday-in June. At
last the maiden's patience was ex-
hausted. and, as she was in comfort
able circumstances, and had recently
come in for $4,000, she put aside her
royness and proposed to join hands

each was amazed at the apparently

HAS FIFTEEN SCARS.
President Carries Them as Marks
of Strenuous Career.
ROOSEVELT the "MOst wounded, OF
Any President in the Nations
HistOry-SOmeo of His Hair
breadth Escapes.

Such q collection of scars as that
borne by PRESIDENT Roosevelt was
never owned by an American chief ex-
ecutive before.
According to the Chicago Journal,
he is the most wounded" president of
the United States in history. Fifteen
injuries of more or less serious ma
ture have been received by him since
he reached manhood, and he has been
bruised literally from the top of his
head to the soles of his feet.
Yet there is nothing to indicate that
a special run of ill-luck is following the
president. On the contrary, his long
list of thrilling hairbreadth escapes
from death proclaim him especially
well looked after by fate.
Mr.. Roosevelt has probably taken
more risks of losing his life in the IS
months that he has been in the white
house than any other president since
George Washington in any ten years
of~his life.
During his football days he received
many bruises, and during his ranching
career in the west he got three ribs
broken. Later in the Bad Lands he
had bone broken in his shoulder from
a fall from a vicious horse.
He was attacked by grizzly bear
while hunting in Idaho in 1889 and es-
capped by a narrow margin.
Two years before that he was chased
by an infuria ted steer in the Big Horn
