SUBSCRIPTION RATES
A VERY PECULIAR TRIUMPH

The New York Tribune says that the settlement of the Alaskan boundary question is tone of the many triumphs ot American diplomacy under Secretary Hay"
 That is a happy faculty that some people have of seeing a triumph in the termination of every controversy no matter what the result. In this par ticular triumph" Mir, Hay lost for the American people much territory that had been in the uudisputed possession of the United States for more than a quarter of a century, together with the head of navigation Of the great Yukon waterway.
 When Mir. Hay became secretary or state a long line ot eminent American dplomatists had refused 10 arbitrate the Alaskan boundary question. They had claimed that there was nothing m dispute. The United States held pos session of all the territory, the title to which had been questioned, and the right to that possession had been recoE- nized for a long time. Mir. Hay, him self was compelled to admit lat there was nothing to arh.trate, and he forth with 2roceeded to put Canada iu poses sion of several hundred square miles of territory that was unquestionaoly American so there would be something to submit to arbitration.
 Then came the arbitration. or course, it was not called arbitration, but it was that iu effect. The United States admitted that there was a differ ence between them and Canada of suii- cient importance to warrant the sum moning of an arbitration tribunal when they agreed Go the Alaskan boundary commission. Had that commission not agreed, the United States would have been morally bound to arbi,rate the questions at issue. IJ was evident that the American members oi that commis- sion recognized the necessity of their reaching an agreement when they com- promised their differences by coUced- ing the second mos, important of the Canadian contentious. e., that the summits of the several groups O. noun tains which exist at intervals along the coast of Southeastern Alaska sha., con- stitute fragments of the boundary. This concession gave away the head of Yukon navigation.
 The authority who gives the settt.e- meut of the Alaskan boundary dispute as an American triumph. is not tn- formed on the matter. The moous vie vendi agreement was the most cr.mta- ally stupid piece of diplomacy which has been agreed 70 by au American sec retary of state in half a century. When Nr. Hay entered into that, he surrendered the American cause.
