These economies Included a large reduction
of tbe amount annually contributed for
religious purposes, but. as suca a reduc
tion could not be made without violating
existing treaties, the Vatican authorities
were consulted before the framing oT spe

modification of the existing- trestles and

to deal with the matter. This commission

the Spanish government.
CoBcllLalery TewaM rruea
This same spirit of conciliation has ani
mated the present pope in all his dealings
with the French government whose ac
tions against the religious congregations
lias been a matter of history. It was
en account of the anti-clerical measures
adopted by the French Parliament thst
the lata Leo XIII suspended all proceed
ings for the canonisation of Jeanne d'Arc,
the national heroine of the French people.

Ths French government however, has
gtot yet given ths least sign or relenting
tn Its attitude toward religion. In fact the
Vatican authorities are anxiously await
ing; ths meeting of tha French Parliament
sn the JOth of this month, when a bill
proclaiming; tbe entire separation of church
and state la to be considered. At the Vati
can everyone foresees that If such a bill
wars to become law It would Imply the
abolition of the concordat of 1801 and the
absolute withdrawal of support from the
church by the French government, which
for more than a century has paid tbe salar
ies of bishops and priests and the whole
expense of maintenance of tbe churches.
Bishops Fa vr tesaratlsa.
Several of tbe French bishops, principal
among- them the bishop of Arochelle. nave
declared themselves In favor of the aboli
tion of the concordat and of the entire
separation of church and state In France,
without consulting- the Vatican. W
" If for no other reason, they would at
least be free from persecution on the part
of the government which Is pledged by
tr js lis ti extend tbe same protection to
fcH religious denominations as is given In
tbe Vnlted Bute, where the Independence
of church and state has been a greet ad
vantage to Roman Catholics and the prog
ress of religion.
Tbese same prelates claim that the neces
sary support for the churches and for tbe
maintenance of the clergy will be forth
coming from the seal and devotion of the
French Catholics, once It Is knows that no
t-upnort whatever la to be expected from
tbe g-overcment. as has been the case all

feared st the Vatican that the laws to be

liberty of worship which ougrht to be a

Thus is the danger in plain view. The
Japanese government seemingly makes no
particular concealment from the diplomatic
corps at Tokie of this attitude, one im
pression being that Japan is merely playing
a diplomatic game and another ia Uiat the
government is In deadly earnest
Russia's evertnercaaing military prepara
tions in the far east and Japan a nearly
completed equipments are regarded as
pointing either to a settlement before De
cember or to hostilities. Japan a orders for
war materials were placed In Germany a
year ago, and since Uwn they have been

LONTXN. Oct 17 The Alaskan boun

ment whereby all tbe American contentions
are sustained, with tbe exception of those
In relation to the Portland canal, which
Canada wins. All that now remains to he
done is for the commissioners to affix their
signatures to tbe Instrument and eeta.
plete tbe map which will accompany It
On the map will be marked the boundary
lines definitely fixing the division of Ameri
can and British territory on such a bssls
that no American citisen win lose a foot
of lsnd he already believed be held,, while
the Vnlted States will retain all the water
ways to the rich Alaskan territory, with
the exception of the Portland canal, which
gives Canada the ons outlet she so much
needed.
The long standing dispute wss only set
tled after s week of keen, trying, secret
deliberation between the arbitrators. Eves
up to noon today there waa sn scute possi
bility that a disagreement might result and
the whole proceedings fall te the ground.
Lord AJverrtone. though openly Inclined
to believe in the Justice of the American
argument that the United States was en
titled to tbe heads of Inlets as contained la
question five, held out that Canada bad es
tablished her case In questions two sad
three, dealing with the Portland, canal.
After luncheon Senator Lodge, Secretary
Root and Secretary Turner agreed to cede
those points and to start the Am erica a
boundary line from the bead of tbe Port
land canal, thus giving tbe Canadians that
channel and tome small islands on which
there are only a few disused atone houses.
This accomplished the majority of the tri
bunal agreed to fix, with this exception, the
entire boundary as outlined In tha Ameri
can case.
rssatlaaa Msy Object.
TChether Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette.
the Canadian commissioners, will refuse
to sign the decision snd mske It unanimous.
Is not yet known, but it will not affect
J the validity of the agreement If s minority
report la eubmltted. By Monday after
noon It it hoped that everything will be
ready for signature, though the actus)
marking of tbe lint on tbe map Which
shall forever determine the respective teri
ritories will occupy some Urns.
The majority of the eommicfrioners left
the Foreign office hurriedly this afternoon 1
In order to catch trains for week-end visits
to the country. Nothing bad occurred
whih would lead tbe few onlookers eves
to suspect that the dispute had reached
its practical end. Tbe commissioners thorn
selves are still bound to secrecy until the
decision It actually rendered, and prac
tically few others were really aware bow
great a degree of success had attended the
meetings of the American members cf the
tribunal.
When the tribunal adjourned it U'j p,
m. It was understood that no decision bad
teen reached. Indeed, so general was ths
impression that no decision would bo
reached until next week that several of
counsel and others employed In the ease
left London soon after the adjournment
However, the Associated Press learned
that a vote bad been taken and that the',
derision to grant all tbe Americas conten
tions except that for the Portland canal,
which goes to Canada, had been arrived at
No hitch occurred during the entire ete
liberations, and at these progressed faat
confidence of the American commissioners
that a decision tubatantially upholding ths
American claims would be given Increased,
i but It was admitted that It would be neces
sary to agree to a compromise on tbe
Portland canal.
The only really disquieting feature of
the situation for the Americans during the
last few days bad been a vague Idea thst
Chid Justice Alversione, even If be eon- -eluded
to take the American view, might
he unwilling to go on record with a de
cision to that effect, and that s disagree
ment was likely.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 17.-Tbe Associated
Pretis bulletin from London announcing the
decision of the Alaskan boundary decision.,
was t!ie first intimation received by tbe
State department that the commission bad
reached an agreement.
Although the bulletin from London Is ex
ceedingly brief. Stale department officials
say that it shows s distinct victory far tbe
Vr.iled States. It ia their opinion that tha
decision regarding the Portland canal
merely gives to Canada the poasessloo of
Pearse island, a small island tn the Port
land canal, and of no special Importance.
ThU detail of the controveras is admitted
by Plate department officials te hsve been
ojen to argument on all sides
Peart ifciu.nd is at ths mouth of ths
canal. The latter is divided between twe
channels of the island, and Canada form
erly bad Indisputable use of the easttara
channel. Vnder the present decision Can
ada will have the use of the western chan
nel. The mUn issue of the Canadian contention
Involved the outlet from the Klondike geld
fields at the bead of tbe Lynn canal, in
cluding the ports of Skagway and Oyea,
through which the Klondike business la
transacted. These ports rentals American
territory. Tbe decision ts taken ts eonoeds
the American claim. Tha Americans laid
especial stress upon their contentlos that
this strip should be measured from tbe
heads tt bays, while ths Canadians argued
that the measurement should be from the
main water of tbe ocean.
