THE ALASKA BOUNDARY.
Probable Action of the Quebec
Conference in the Matter.
Orrawa, Sept. 10.—The informal dis- cussion of the Alaska boundary watter at Quebee ‘ast week went to show that the
countries are as far apart as the two poles |
|; both as to facts and conclusions on this | matter of the Alaska boundary. This news comes from two different sources, either one of which is perfectly reliable,
The Montreal Witness correspondeat was informed that all the Quebec con- | ference will do in the matter is to provide for its final adjustment by the appointment of an independent tribunal. There is an abundaace of material svailable in the furvey reportsof both the American and British surveyors to serve for guidance in the regulation of this question. This, then, is one of the differences upon which the commissioners at Quebec are in a posi- tion to treat.
Concerning the question of inshore fisheries and the reported desire of the United States to be allowed to share there- in, it can be stated positively on the autho- rity of one of one of the commissioners that the subject was not eo much as mentioned before the conference, and indeed, as is learned from a reliable quarter, it in as matter of very grave question whether the Americans want and part or parcel in our inshore fisheries.
