THE BOUNDRY COMMISSION.
The Alaska Boundry Commis
sion began its session the 3rd
inst. The commission consists
of six members-on behalf of the
United States, Secretary of War
Boot, Senator Lodge of Mas
sachusetts and Senator Turner
of Washington on behalf of the
Dominion of Canada, Sir Louis
Jete and Justice Armour, and on
behalf of Great Britian, the Lord
Chief Justice. The problem of
the commission is to decide if it
can by a majority vote the vexed
question of the boundry between
Alaska and Canada, the main
question being whether it fol
lows ttmcoas line or runs across
inlets and arms of the sea.
The Canadians are anxious to
secure access to the Pacific
ocean, and their remarkable con
tention is that the boundry line
does not follow the coast line,
but runs across all inlets less
than six miles in width. This
would give the Canadians access
to the sea and would put them in
possession of the coveted Lynn
canal, but it would leave the
Americans with a number of
isolated rocky promotories, of
adsurdedly little use to anyone
but the owners of the contiguous
land.
The Russian treaty of 1825
with Great Britian will cut an
important figure- in the settle
ment. The Canadians claim that
it favors their contention, but
this claim is disputed by the
United States.
Gen. John W. Foster, the noted
diplomat, who is the agent for
the United States, tiled his case
for this county, which Jills two
large volumes, accompanied with
maps. It is expected that the
proceedings of the commission
will consume nearly two months'
time. Even should the conimis

Mixed Tri-
Decisions of
bunaK
Willemstad, Curacao, Sept. 13.Tho
decisions in tb,e cases of the bis claims
against Venezuela presented to tho
mixed tribunals bc.-?an to be rendered
yesterday. The Dutch and Belgian ar
bitrators and the Venezuelan umpire
delivered judgment condemning Ven
ezuela to pay the Belgian company
owning the water works at Caracas
$2,000,000. Notwithstanding the fact
that the meeting of the tribunal was
decltred to he secret, the Venezuelan
government immediately divulged its
decision everywhere, and also started
the semi-official press complaining
against Dr. Filz, the Dutch arbitrator,
who is a former president of the high
court of the Dutch West Indies, and
the other arbitrators, who are charac
terized as robbers worthy of hanging.
The violenct! of the press is without
precedent, going so far as to say that
the government will not accept the
judgement.
FAVOR WHIPPING POST.
Two Judges Declare Themselves Re
garding Wife-Beaters.
Chicago, Sept. 13.Justices of the
Peace John R. Caverly and John K.
Prindiville yesterday declared, them
selves in favor of the whipping post
for wife-beaters. Both are averse to
such offender getting jail sentences,
which they deem inadequate punish
ment in most of the cases, especially
where the offender is the sole support
of his victim or of a family of needy
children. It was such a situation which
drew from Jcstice Caverly yesterday
in the Harrison street police court a
declaration in favor of the whipping
post. The punishment should be ad
ministered in a public place in the
opinion of both magistrates, that the
man might suffer humiliation.
