The new* from Washington of thy
signing of (i treaty to refer the Cana
da-A h.ska boundary dispute to arbitra
tion was not unexpected. In th** prime
minlBt'r’s absence from the city the
other ministers do not care to dlicma
the matter or give particulars. It li
known, however, that the Ottawa en t
aivid* 1 n f negotiations have been pretty
I'otcli ; tn uch in Sir Wilfred Laurier's hands,
1 the 1 q U c r y |« being made here tonight
4n how far do«*s th** treaty go? If the en
tire boundary dispute without the
Dy*:« and Skagway reservations Is to
be referred to the arbitration, commis
sion, then Canada does not stand to be
be*in any worse position than she is to
day.
If, however, the ownership of Dyea
and Skagway has been conceded to the
United States, Uanadn is placed in a
dangerous position.
Supposing the United States wins
over the British representative then
goodbye to Canadian contentions. It Is
generally believed here that I/Ord Al-
verston**, lord chief justice of England,
will be the Pritlsh commissioner. He Is
better known as Sir Richard Webster,
and was associated with Mr. Christo
pher Robinson, K as counsel for
Canada before the Behrmg Sea com
mission at Paris Mr Justice Mills, of
the supreme court, Is mentioned as a
likely representative of Canada.
