WASIIlNGToN. oct. 3l--Congress today empowered the president to open negotiations with the British govern mcnt lnuhinH toward the cession hy the United States of the Alaskan Pan handle to Canada. This is known as the southeastern Alaska strip. The resolution for the cesslon of this Al askan land was introduced originally by Representative Frank O. smith of Maryland and il recites that the strip in question was created in response to conditions which long ago ceased to exist and that its retention by the United states hampers the develop. ment of the adjoining lands and con- stantly gives rise to irritation between the two countries.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

The feature Of the election to fill
the vacancy in the Third Maine con-
gressional district was not the ma
jority Of few hundred one way or
other, but the showing of the trend
between the Republican and Pro-
gressive parties. This district is
normally Republican. The bulk of
its voters, whether in the Republic
can or Progressive ranks, is opposed
to the Democratic program. In the
presidential election the Democrats
polled 11,524 votes, the Progressiyes
11,242, and the Republicans 5,297.
Yesterdays poll showed a reversal Df
the Republican and Progressive po-
sitions, the bulk of the Progressivcs
returning 10 the Republican stand
ard, while the Democrats about held
their own.
While leaders may talk and plan
as they please the voters are them
selves readjusting the political bal
ance. 1t may not be finished in time
for the next congressional campaign,
but there is every probability that
the process may be completed before
