PUBLIC OPINION Editor Evening News: Reading vour editorial this evening, gives me pain. I think if you were a property owner yourself that you would not be so eager to have the city buy the Westminster property. It is all right for people who do not foot the bills to cry for such things, I sup pose you’think, but I for one objeot to any such foolish thing. When the tax bills come, as they did last week, with taxes doubled and in some cases three times what they were last year, it is time to call a halt. You also say that Perth Amboy with its fine harbor and railroads is one of the leading nitioa in f.liA pnmmnn wnsilth fnr milllll factories ami before many years the industries will be double the present nnmber. If it were known to the parties who are contemplating locating in Perth Amboy that our taxes have been in creased at the rate they have this year, I think that they would not be foolish enougli to move to a town that promises soon to be a holy terror for taxes, as the Italians say, “You maka da monk siok. ” Truly yours, S.

Turning into the stretell the mare was pulled tip and won by eight lengths. Both heats were trotted in 2:04%.

CANADIANS’ REASONS FOR REFUSAL Lord Alvemtoui' Dives Ills Opinion oil tile Oeneritl Issue—Dominion Members Pruise Courtesy itml Dood l-'nitii ol' Auierieuus. LONDON, Oct. 111. —The offlcinl re port of the Alaskan boundary commis sion was signed yesterday afternoon and then issued. It is signed by Lord Alverstone. the British commissioner, and by tin- three American commis sioners, who constitute a majority of the tribunal. The Canadian members of tin- com mission declined to sign the award. Expressed in ordinary language, it awards the t nited States all the terri tory included within the modus vivendi of the past few years. It establishes the boundary on what is known as the old Hunters' line, giv ing the United States the heads of all inlets. The decision in regard to Portland canal gives Canada I’earse and Wales islands. The United States gets Sit klau island and tin- broad southern por tion of the channel. The decision, as a whole, is of course an overwhelming vindication of the claims of the United States. Three opinions were also delivered to ,1. \V. Boston and Clifford Sifton. the agents respectively of the United Staten and ('anndn. One is by the Americans, discussing the Portland canal claims; another by Lord Alverstone on the general is- u tuat tin* course which the majority was determined to pursue in respect to the matters shove specially referred to ignored tlir> just rights of Canada.” A Canadian who lias lieen most inti mately and prominently associated with the Alaska ease said: "It is the hardest blow the imjicrinl tie lias ever received. The place Lord Alverstone tilled was clearly that of agent for the Itritish government. It will be a shock to the Canadian people to know that notwithstanding all the professions of friendship and sympa thy the solemn formalities of the inter national court have simply been used for the purpose of handing over Cana dian territory to the United States. Canada lias been not only spontaneous, but zealous, in defense of Itritish terri tory and lias not hesitated to sacrifice blood and treasure in defense of the motherland. She must now face the fact that when imperial interests or friendships require it her territory may lie handed over without the slightest hesitation. This marks a most serious epoch in tIk* relations between Canada and the mother country.” Special opinions were submitted on the second and fifth questions by Lord Alverstone. Secretary Root and Sen ators Turner and Lodge, which will form part of the record and in which the reasons for their conclusions are explained. As Lord Alverstone and the Ameri can commissioners rely upon . these opinions to answer the criticisms of the Canadian members of the tribunal these opinions assume more than a le gal and technical interest. Lord Alverstone. in dealing with the second question, recites liis reasons for believing that tic entrance of the Port tudo. "After the most enrefill consideration of every document in the ease.'' l.ord Alv. rstone says. "1 have found noth ing to alter or throw any doubt on tbe conclusion 1 have arrived at. and there are certain general considerations which greatly strengthen it. Inasmuch as the questions submitted to us oq^y involve the determination of the chan nel described in the treaty by the words, 'the channel called the Portland canal.' subsequent history can throw no light upon this question, but I think ft right to say that the use in 1S.r>.'{ of tlic name 'Portland inlet' in the Brit ish admiralty charts upon which tlie t'liited States uiitcli relied lias, in my opinion, no bearing upon ilio question. I therefore answer the second question ns follows: “The channel which runs north of Pearse and Wales islands and the is lands of Sitklan and ICaniiaghunut issues Into the Pacific between Wales Island and Sitklan island." This, briefly, is Lord Alverstone’s ex planation of why he decided against the contentious of liis own countrymen and thereby settled tie long standing dispute. Messrs. Root, Lodge and Turner also submit long joint opinions. Their opin ions are peculiarly aide and judicial expositions dealing with the contention of counsel on both sides and end thus: “It is impossible to resist the conclu sion that the construction of tbe treaty now contend:'! for by Great Britain is an afterthought never entertained by any officer of the British government during the lifetime' <>f the nmkags of Advertising is life and a third h,v tin* Canadians, protest ing in the most emphatic language against all tlie American claims. Now that the matter is ended it leaks out that the Canadians have practical ly not taken part in the proceedings since Lord Alverstone declared himself in favor of the main claims of tlie United States a week ago. In an intervh w Mr. Sifton. one of the Canadian agents, stated after tlie deci sion laid beeti announced that, while lie declined to give an opinion on tlie result, lie wanted to say that the rep resentatives of the United States had acted with perfect courtesy and good faith throughout the proceedings. lie added that tlie Canadians had nothing whatever to say against the American representatives. Mr. 'I'. C. Wade, another Canadian agent, confirmed all that Mr. Sifton hud said in regard to the relations be tween the American and Canadian rep resentatives. lie added: "We all agree that the Americans have fought tlielr (‘use all through like men and won it like gentlemen.'’ Sir Francis Jette and Mr. A. 15. Aylesworth, tlie Canadian commission ers. have issued a statement protesting against tlie decision, in which they say: "We do not consider tlie (hiding as regards the islands at tlie entrance of tlie Portland canal or tlie mountain line u judicial one. We therefore declined be parties thereto. <>ur iltg the conference lias nate. We have been ness tiie sacriiicc of Cunadn and have oreyeut It, though I Hip treaty and which originated at least sixty years after the treaty was signed.” . "From a British viewpoint the best that can be said of the settlement of the Alaskan boundary dispute is that it is over.” The foregoing words strike tlie key-1 note of London press comments on the decision of the Alaska boundary tribu nal. This decision is generally denomi nated "the surrender of British rights on the altar of American friendship.” While there is no suggestion of per sonal criticism of either Lord (’lilef Justice Aiverstone or the American commission.’rs. the tendency is to re gard the Canadian commissioners as tlie heroes of the hour for their refusal to sign the document surrendering wiiat they considered to be the rights of the Dominion. Tlu* Standard, commenting on the loss of a gateway to the Klondike and the islands strategically commanding the mouth of the Portland canal, says it is useless to dispute their confirnta tion to another power, however friend ly and enlightened. This loss will lie regretted deeply by patriotic Canadi ans. "Wp could wislt flint the result had been different, but we cannot doubt that the American commission ers no less than Lord Aiverstone are perfectly convinced that as jurists they were giving effect to the purposes kept in view by the framers of the treaty.” Stonilmi'K' to Visit His Homo.
