Aside from the Philippine- war, the ubject engrossing most public atten- tlou la the dispute between the United States and England over the lluo which cut Alaska off Canada. The question, officially, Is In the hands of an Anglo American commission, whose report la being withheld by the two govern ments because, as It Is reported, the commission could not agree upon terms. Where the matter will end no body knows now, for both Uncle Sam and John Bull are anxious to get for ineir subjects as much of the irold land of Alaska and British Columbia as they can. This commission was as signed several other matters of arbitra tion or adjustment, but the boundary question Is the one which demands the qulokest settlement for It la liable anv day to create trouble between the two governments. As to the Alaska boundary question, considered American territory. What historical or treaty right bus Crrat Britain or Canada to such un outlet? The questlou Is not an easy one to an swer, oieat Britain's title to British North America from tho 141st degree or west longitude (meridian of Green wien rests, like that of the United States to Alaska, upon her treaty with Russia. Russia's right certainly was a vague one, and amounted at best only to a claim la regnrd to tlio vast Interior of whose extent at the time she had no conception.

To understand It, It Is necessary to go back to the ukase of the Emperor Alexander I. In 1822, by which be declared all the territory of the Pacific coast north of the fifty-first parallel of north latitude Russian territory, and by the same ukase made that part of the Pacific Ocean lying north of the fifty-first par allel of latitude In America to 40 de grees north latitude on the Asiatic coast a closed sea. The effect of this ukase was to exclude United States whalers from the Northern Pacific, an exclusion which the Government of the United States vigorously protested, and as a result, In 1824, by treaty be tween the two governments, the North era Pacific was made an open sea.

By the Oregon settlement of 1848 Great Britain got to the Pacific, that solution at tbe time being regarded as preferable to fighting or to a probable contest all along the Pacific coast with England for supremacy.

When thi treaty was made It was supposed there was a rango of moun tains running down the entire coast practically, thus forming a natural watershed and line of demarcation. Tbe Rnsslans cared only for a foothold along the coast, as It wa with the fisheries they were concerned. The treaty, however, made provision as to how the boundary should be deter mined should It be found that at any place there Is no &uch natural bound ary by limiting the Russian (now Uni ted States) territory to a distance of ten marine league, or thirty mile, from the coast The Canadian and British contention, as now made, turns upon the Portland canal.

For In stance, in determining the ten marine league from tbe coast to which, In the absence of a mountain chain, the American territory extends, shall sin uosities of tbe shore of the mainland be followed or should the line be run from headland to headland? Again. shall tbe line be considered to run ten marine league east of the outer shore of the Islands? In that case in many Instances the line would not reach the luaimana. a some ol the Island are wunu ineae uo noi constitute a moun tain chain, they may lie said to serve the purpose of a mountain barrier and thus come within the meaning of the treaty or isas.
