After asserting that the Vanad'ans desire to finally decide the mat- ter bv [mpertial arbitration, while the United Suaes demaaods a tribunal, which will be either a farce or unlikely to eettle anything, The Review says :—* We cannot concede more to the United States without Canadian acquiescence, and Ourown ex« perieace in tuat direction does not give much hope of the efficiency of concessions‘ even if we do.” In conciusion, the Review remerks:—“‘If the Anglo-Saxon entente doea nothing to modify the American atti-~ tude tawards Alaska, it will have proved more u-eless and evanescent than the bu¥- bles of the champagne on which it floated into existence.” AFFAIRS IN SAMOA ~~ — The Kingship to be Abolished by the Joint Commission.

The following extract from the Trade Bulletin of Montreal was read to the meet- ing. “It seems impossible to get rid of the peculiar flavor which characterizes P. E. Island cheese. The Island being long, the (ows teed upon @ certain grass which grows along its shores and gives it a flavor of an oveter, There is aclass of covsimers in England, however, which likes it.” This gave rise to some indignant discus- sion and the secretary waa inetructed to write explaining the errors in the paragraph aod denying the imputation contained therein, : Asked for their opinion regarding this paragraph Messrs Biffio and Spillett said that they have never had any complaint of the nature. It had sometimes happen-~ ed that the cheese when kept too long was a little * off flavor.” Toe next meeting of the Board will take place on Tuesday the 1st of August.
