PARTINGOF WAYS
WHAT A HALIFAX PUBLICATION
HAS TO OFFER.
THE ALASKA BOUNDARY AWARD
Dissatisfaction of Canadians Over
Same is Unanimous. Present Rela
tions With England. It is Asserted.
Must End.
HALIFAX. X S. The declaration
that present relations between Can
ada and Great Britain cannot exist
much longer -xas made Wednesday by
the Halifax Chronicle the leading
newspaper supporter in the mancne
provinces of the liberal party In an
unusually outspoken editorial on the
recent Alaska boundary award, the
Chronicle expresses what is claims to
be unanimous dissatisfaction of Ca
nadians at the action of the 3ritish
government in the matter The paper
says-
"This Alaska episode has made it
clear that our existing relations can
not be continued much longer. We are
even now ar the parting of the ways.
Our subordinate position has been so
clearly and so humiliating revealed
that it must speedily bocome utterly
unendurable.
The Chronicie adds that there are
now only two courses open for Can
ada, complete legislative Independ
ence wirhin. the empira. acknowledg
ing the sovereignty of the Inng of
England alcne. or the status of an in
dependent nation. The paper says
there is much to commend the latter
steD in particular because it would
free Canada from the danger of ever
becoming embroiled with the United
States on account of its European con
nection, and at the same time would
secure for the dominion th beneSt
of the protection of the Monroe doc
trine. LOXDOX Chief Secretary for Ire
land Wyndhm. speaking at Dover,
said that unless England was pre
pared to lose her prestige, she could
not afford to see Canada dominated
by American capital "Under fis
cal reforms, as proposed by Mr
Chamberlain." said Mr Wyndham.
"Canada could become the granary of
Great Britain." He strongly urged
the linking of Canada directly with
the mother country This, he said,
must be done, whether it be accom
pished by Mr Chamberlain's method
or by some other

Attorney Barrett Surprised at Being
Disbarred.
' WASHIXGTOX. Harrison J. Bar-
! rett. whose disbarment from practice
j before the Postoface department for
alleged wrongful acts, disclosed by
I the general postal investigation, was
j announced last week, has written a
letter to the postmaster general un
; der date of Baltimore. October 27,
' in which he expresses surprise in
view of the fact that he has been
furnished no specification of charges
and has been given no hearing. The
letter says the writer invited a search
ing investigation of all his acts, and
i was assured a hearing and an oppor
tunity to meet any accusations
against him. He says he furnished
i the inspctors all information asked
I of him, though much of its was irrel
evant, notwithstanding he was satis-
j fled they were seeking his indictment.
The letter adds:
j "My right to practice my profes
sion is one of which I ought not and
cannot properly be divested without a
, full and impartial hearing according
' to law. The government has pre
ferred its charges against me in the
. courts and I am ready and anxious
to meet them; indeed. I am glad of
the opportunity to put this matter in
its true light before a court and to
show that the allegation that I en
tered into an unlawful conspiracy
with General Tyner. a man who has
1 lived nearly eighty years respected
and honored among men. and presid
ed over the department now in your
charge, is as absurd as it is false."
Secretary Hitchcock, who has been
ill with a cold, was at his desk Tues
day for the first time since the mid
dle of last wek. His first act was to
order the suspension of Asa B.
Thompson, receiver of public moneys
at the land office at La Grande. Ore.,
who was indicted yesterday on the
charge of bribery "And there will
be others." he said, "whenever Sim
ilar circumstances are discovered in
connection with them." He declined
to say more concerning the reported
frauds in connection with the public
lands than that they are receiving
careful attention and have been since
January S last, when the secretary
said the investigation was besran. He
also said that proceedings have been,
started against Miss Ware, who is a
commissioner of deeds and is charged
with issuing certificates in 300 cases
of fraudulent land entries.

NEW YORK On account of his
oftcial connection with the Alaskan
ttibunal Senator Lodge of Massachu

the tribunal on his arrival here by the
steaaur Cedric.
Senator Lodge said the members of

who also was on Cedric said that the
award was of course a disappointment
from the Canadian point of view, but
offered no farther comment, appr
Ing anxious, however, to ascertain Liw
the decision had been received in
Canada.
Former Senator Turner of "Washing
ton, another American member of the
tribunal was not willing to discuss
how the agreement came to be
reached, but 't was admitted that the
decision giving two islands in the
Portland canal to the Unieed States
was based on Vancouver's narrative
of his voyage of exploration. The
question hinged an whether he had
called fh arafir tn fha nnfi nf rho
island the channel or whether he had
gone to the north of them. It was
found that he recorded having gone
from the entrance to a point of land
above the islands in a certain time.
To do this it was figured that he en
tered the broad channel, followed it
up, and turned in betwn the four
islands.
This led the commissioners to de
cide that tne two islands lying near
the mouth of the canal and opposite
Port Simpson belonged to the United
States. Mr. Turner, while he was not
willing to discuss in detail the sub
ject, admitted that this was true.

meeting of the stockholders of the

during that period. It is shown that
the following additions have been
made to the effective force cf the
navy daring the year:
One battleship, four monitors.
twelve torpedo boat destroyers, one
torpedo boat and seven submarine tor
pedo boats. The list should have
been increased by two battleships and
five cruisers, the report states, but ow
ing to strikes and other causes their
completion was delayed. The report
states that the "rate of progress of
vessels under construction at the pres

aging indications for completions of
many of the most important contracts,
but, considered as a whole, the pro
gress made daring the last fiscal year
has bees very unsatisfactory.

that although slightly behind the
Louisiana, the progress made has been
well up to the present previous aver
age of contract.

list of all the vessels in the navy, with
elaborate data concerning them, alsc
