Building, Corner In London, British Columbia 1 suspending Judgment and beyond expression of keen disappointment at the decision which con cedes everything to the United State with tha exception of Portland canal, official Will say little on the matter. The people of British Columbia expected to receive much, more at tha hand of the commissioners, but as one of the official af British Columbia said this morning: If tha people of the province find that the case was decided on its merits alone, they with accept the decision frankly, but if, a has been the rase in other arbitra tions where this province has been affected and notably the pelagic sealing arbitration, the decision 'has been reached as a diplo matic arrangement, it will cause extreme Irritation in Canada, where people are be coming tired of bring garlanded with (low ers and sacrificed to make diplomatic ar rangements between Great Britain and the United State. British Columbia expected much more and cannot sea on -what f round the decision Waa given against hem. Canadian Commoner Bitter. In the House of Common today Mr. Gourley, member for Colchester, Nova Scotia, whose speeches In the House have gained for him considerable notoriety, took occasion to refer to tha decision In the Alaskan boundary case. He said: "If the news is correct that we hear In fne corridors, and I hop it Is hot, all that ha United States ha got to do 1 to make a, claim for , Canada and they will tget It is true we migm a wen mrow away our national aspiration. Tha last two genera tion of Englishmen were degenerate and J M. V. 1 . ' I I 111.. died. Thank. .God, Chamberlain la galvan ising them and putting new blood In them." Sir. Rosa protested against speaking about Englishmen in this way and .Mr. Gourley retorted that they went around with blinder on unfit to drive sheep aero tha country. Opinio af Goldwln Smith. TORONTO, Ont., Oct 17.-Prof. Ooldwln Smith, commenting on the Alaska decision today, said: I ennnot pretend to criticise the decision. No doubt the Investigation was thorough and the Judgment Impartial. But In these cases of delimitation, where the framers of the original treaty or arrangement, whatever it was, knew little about the ter ritory, the data must alwava be unsatisfac tory. It the British government has not rot, ror Canada all to which she was en Itled it has aot for her more than she could have gut for .herself. As t& aolna to war with the United Btates for any Cause on Ihls side of the Atlantic, the people of Great Britain would never consent. No govt-rnmeut which proposed to do it could live for twenty-four hours. VICTORIA. 8.

ENDS IN AUNG JURY Oould Not Beach Vardict in Portal Fraud Oaiea at Cinoinnatl. LAWYER ADMITS JOHNS BUNCOED RYAN In Balte of Effort ta Separata Defease Jaeige Tell Jary Both Are ln nocent or Both are Gallty. CINCINNATI, Oct. 17.-11:36 p. m.-The Jury In the Miller and Johns case reported that It was unable to agree and was dis charged. Today' session of the trial of V. V. Miller and Joseph M. Johns was devoted to argument. During Attorney Rullson's ar gument It Was evident the defense of Miller had cut loose with that of Johns. Rullson declared it might be said In defense of Johns that when he buncoed Ryan out of $4,600 he buncoed on who had been bunco ing others for years, but It was Injurious to connect Miller with it 'when the latter knew nothing of it. He held that the con spiracy established was that of making a scapegoat out of Miller, In whose trial gamblers and thugs"' had been used as witnesses. Rullson Insisted that Miller had been treated unfairly in th "sweat boxes" at Washington and held that he was not then given an opportunity to present his own case. He" said Chrlstlancy was the Judge who passed on the Ryan cases and that Miller simply appeared as the gov ernment's attorney. The article In a Wash ington newspaper for which the dot was furnished by Clerk Huebner of the post- office department was reviewed to show that Chrlstlancy passed on th Ryan case favorably, instead of Miller; Charles W. Baker, as attorney for Johns, Insisted that Miller had the fraud order Issued against Ryan and afterward had the mall of Ryan & Co. held up and waa really th on who was causing trouble for Johns' client, so that there could have been no understanding between Miller and Johns. In reviewing all that was done at Wash ington, Baker said that the indictment of Miller and John was due more to the in experience of General Robb, who had re cently been admitted to the bar, than to the identification of the defendants. He also charged that othera were trying to boost" themselves by the persecution of th two country lawyer" and he charged that tha tenographlo note of Watson had been garbled after they were taken down In ft concealed corner of Bristow' office. Government Close Case. District Attorney McPherson went over th case ot Johns and Miller separately and Jointly, laying special atress on the telegrams of John notifying Ryan ft Co. at St. Louis In advance last November that th Inspectors wero coming and insisting that Johns could get this information only through Miller and that Johns used it for th purpose of securing money from Ryan. McPherson said that Ryan never hunted for Johns. McPherson laid most stress on the "Jim telegram" that was sent notifying Johns that a copy of the decision in th Ryan case had been mailed him. McPherson said that John oon afterward mat Ryan In Cincinnati and delivered the decision upon the receipt of $4,600. Mo- Pherson closed shortly before "4 o clock. Judge Thompson wa an hour and a Quarter In delivering hi charge, to th Jury, which did not get tha case until after 6 o'clock. The court paid special attention io me testimony of John J. Ryan and instructed the Jury not to thrpw it aalde on account of the character of the witness, but to giva It due consideration, wherein It was corroborated by" other witnesses or docu mentary evidence. The . charge or tne court held that ther must d an oven act, and that .while ther wa no direct testimony to how xcept In the testimony of Ryan, yet ther wa much circum stantial evidence to that effect The main Question for th Jury to settle was wetber Miller had knowledge ot wnat took pia-c betweeA Johna and Ryan and whether Johns wa authorised . to speaa ior in assistant attorney in the office of the as sistant attorney of the postofflce general department. The court told the Jury tnat there could be no verdict finding one of the defendants guilty and the other inno cent and that no prejudlo should enter Into their findings. It wa almost o'olock when the jury wa allowed to go to supper. OHIO BOYS ARE IN TROUBLE Tw Arreate in missaurt In a; Playmate with Revolve. JEFFERSON CITT.

W Live ( Thaasaad Ksiaagrre by Accident Which Orfsn In San -Fraaelseo Bay, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 17.-Endan-gerlng th live of thousand of passen gers, the Southern Pacific ferry steamer Newark crashed Into the ferry steamer Oakland during a dense fog this morning. Newark struck Oakland'a aft paddle box, tearing a hole in its aide, but fortunately not damaging its machinery. Newark came out of the wreck with It rails carried away at the bows. The deck hear the apron was cut deeply by Oak land's side. Owing to the dense fog on the bay the boats wer doing double service, the crowds on each ateamer being large. Great excitement was caused. Th force of the blow waa such that th boat listed at least twenty degrees. After thl lung to star board, Oakland recovered, but rolled to port when Newark backed Its engine and got clear. A Oakland rocked on th water after tha crash th crowd An the lower and upper deck rushed back and forth In ft fury of fright. Women fell in faint ing fit or went Into hysterics on tha in jured steamer. On the upper deck sev eral women rushed to the rail to leap overboard, but were held back by tha men. On Newark tha passenger wer more eaMlyV restrained,, that vessel not feeling th fore of the collision a much aa Oak land. Fortunately, during the crisis, the officers of the steamer remained cool. The cap tains, and pilots stood at their posts In the. wheel houses and extricated tha boats from their position, the mates and deck hands, with presence of mind, went about urging the crowd that there was no real danger. It waa found to be almost Im possible to restrain th mora excited per sons, who let their., fears run away with them. During the half hour that followed the crew had to stand ready, fearing that any moment 'some foolish passenger might try to leap Into the water, but despite the black fog, so dense the pilots could scarcely sea the flag poles, both boats finally reached tha allps on this side of the bay.
