Many cunning criminals and hard ened desperadoes have tried in vain to escape from the Yukon under the watchful eyes of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, but actuated by mo- tiv of mother love and fearful that she would lose possession of her children, Mrs. F. D. Cameron, now in Skagway, escaped from Whitehorse Monday with her two little girls, fair ly outwitting the police who had or ders to detain her children.
 Twice Mrs. Cameron boarded the train at Whitehorse for skagway and both times the Mounted Police, who searched the train each morning, dis covered her and forcibly removed her children, under orders from the Daw- son sheriff. Mrs. Cameron was de- termined to get out of the Yukon witf her children, however, and last Mon- day morning she arose at 2 o'clock and carrying her youngest daughter, Lottle. a little tot of three years, and leading the other little girl, Doris, she walked up the White Pass tracks about five miles to Canyon. She waiS ed there until the train came and stood by the track and slgnalled for it to stop. The train stopped and Mrs Cameron and her children were taken aboard and reached Skagway Monday afternoon.
 Mrs. Cameron is now in town and will sail south on the Cottage city to her home in the States.
 Mrs. Cameron left her husband, who had a roadhouse at Indian river on the whitehorse-Dawson trail because of alleged drunkenness and cruelty on his part There was no legal separ- ation. but taking her two children

she came out on the stage from Daw- son.
 In the meantime her husband had ap pealed to the sheriff at Dawson and as Mrs. Cameron had no legal right to take the children until the action of the court had given them in GUS tody, the sheriff wired the Whitehorse Mounted Police not to allow the child ren to leave the Yukon. The Police, of cuorse, were compelled to act ac- cording to orders.
 The people of Whitehorse who knew the facts in the case generally sympathized with Mrs. Cameron and are glad that she escaped from the Yukon with her children. She is out of the jurisdiction of the Yukon court and her children cannot be taken from her by any process of law un- less she touches Canadian soil and she is pretty sure not to do this.

Commissioner Conway's court Mrs. volke has been suffering from dementia for some months and her husband has done all in his power to care for her. She has grown worse, however. and at last, upon the advice of friends, he filed insanity informa- ton against her so that she can be taken below and given proper treat ment in a sauitarium.

MAINTAIN RIGHT TO

British Attitude Is Surprise to
0fficiaIs--Treaty Implies
Prerogative.

Observation-Disclosures Of both
the state department and the army
express surprise that any question
should be raised as tc the right OF
the United States to erect fortifica-
lions along the Panama Canal. They
regard the unfavorable comment in
the English press on Colonel Roose-
yelt's remarks about the necessity for
terrifying the canal as lack Of appre-
citation both of the action of the Amer
lean government and of the attitude
Of the British foreign office itself.
By implication, it IS declared by
american officials, the American and
British agreement Of 1901, known as
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, gave the
United States the right to fortify the
canal
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1910-09-08
Treaty Contains Rules.

The implication is drawn from sew
eral clauses. This treaty sets forth
that the United States adopted as the
basis Of the naturalization of the ca.
nal the rules governing the Suez Ca
nal with certain notifications. In
contrast with the Suez rules, the Pa
mama Canal rules, j, is contended,
contain no specific authorization for
an enemy Of the United States to use
the canal to the detriment Of the lat
ter's interest. 1t Is, therefore, the
claim of the United States that her
guarantee to neutralize the canal only
refers to belligerents, not to enemies
OF the United States.
Furthermore, it is added, no express
provision was incorporated in the
rules forbidding the United States to
fortify the canal as was done with
Turkey in the case Of the Suez Canal.
