Ottawa, July 3.-4.n international dispute of considerable proportiona is looming up as a result of the Hudson Bay clues:Hon, Far years Iluited States whalers have been operating on lanason Bay. These people are chiefly from New England, Thai ail into the bay and make their Imeaquartere at Marble Is- land, whieh lies off the west coast. Here they catch whale and other fish. Their business is very profitable. It is esti- niatea that they have warted away wealth worth millions. One bowhead whale will net- $10,000, and. .oach whaler will get several on a trip. The white whale and the walrus are also caught by these parties. The walrus is valuable for its bide and foe the ivory. One walrus Mae is worth $40. Other fish abound,. and the United States citizens help themselves, using Canadian territory as their base 01 op - Some years ago the Ottawa Govern- ment took cognizance of what -was going on and determined to license the whal- ers. An Act 1VA8 therefore passed in 1000 laying on it tax .01 $50 for each boat engaged in whaling :within Canadian jur- isdiction. The same Act declared that Hudson Bay ie Caned -hal property', Ian- deatly the United States objects to the clahn that the Hudson Bay is it Cana- dian sea, for it has authorized the whoa- ers to refuse to pay the license. Tale brings up the entire question of the sov- ereignty over the area hitherto regarded as Northern Canada. The Dominion clahns jurisdiction due north to the Pole, This position assumes that the waters within the area referred to are Canadian. Thus, Hudson 13a,y, which is approached by Hudson Strait, antl is surrounded by Canadian territory, is a Canadian possession. The eight to Hudson Ray is founded. upon several consiaerations. The first ie the fact that the region was discovered and taken pos- session of by the British in the sixteenth century. Sir Martin Frobisher found the southeastern pert of Baffin Land in 1570 and Captain Baffin took possession of the northern part in 1610. The only parties then contesting the ownership of the great north at that time, and. immediately thereafter were Britain and France. France, however, relinquished her claim in favor of ,Bri- tain in 1713, by the Treaty of :Utrecht. That treaty says: "The said Most Christian Majesty shall restore to the Kingdom and Queen of Great Britain to be possessed in full right forever, !the bay and Straits of Hudson; together withall lands, seas, sea coasts, rivers and places, sibuate in the said bay and straits, and what belong thereunto, no tracts of land beim* excepted which are at present possesse% by the subjects of France." France and Britain had fought over the ownership of the territory and the by, and, the former now conceded the British claim. Following that the ma- son Bay Company resumed possession under the charter given to that corpora- tion years before. With the purchase of the Hudson Bay rights, Canada se- cured jurisdiction in the horn. The authority, however, was made the more certain by alt Ituperial orderin eouncil passed on September 1, 1880, under which Canada took over everything that had formerly belonged to Britain in the north. Thus the Canadian title is very clear. WHAT THE UNITED STATES CLAIM, The United States, according- to .some authorities, disputes the ownership by Canada of the Hudson Bay and of a good. deal of the territory in the north, The position taken by the republic with respect to some of the territory is that it was annexed to the United. States by United States explorers who first saw it. The parts of the Arctic in this cate- gory are Grant Land, Grinnell leindrAr- titer Laud, Hayes Peeinsttlar, Hazen Land, Hall Land and Cape Washing- ton. On the same principle the United States owns the pole, through the al- leged visits of Peary and Cook to that point. In virtue of the ownership of the lands in question the United States claims rights on Hudson Bay. But there is another branch of the United States ease. Aceording to the tteaty of 1818 Britain granted to the United States fishing right, not only on the west coast of Newfoundlande but "through the Straits of Belie We, and thence riorthwardly indefinitely along the coast without prejudice, however, to any pf the exclusive fights of the Ihnisot Bay Company." Now the Hudson Straits onen out from the Labrador coast. The United States, therefore claims that the grant of the right to fish on the Labra- dor coast includes the right to enter the Hudson Streits, to pass into Hudson Bay and to fish there.

On her return to the city yesterday eke found awaiting her the letters left on tbe boat by her husband prior to his suicide, These _pathetic letters told of his inten- tion of ending the tragedy and his dis- grace by seeking the release of death. She naturally declined to see anyone; and was completely prostrated over the ap- palling wreck of her previously happy !tonal life:One young son of six is left to her. Prior to Gouldthrite's flight flight from Ottawa, two weeks ago he had with difficulty been persuaded by her not to end his life by leaping into the Chaudiere Falls, Standing on the interprovineial bridge at the Falls, she pleaded with him for over half an hour not to carry out his intention.

News of the finding of the body was received here to -night with' expressions of general regret at, the tragic ending of the story of Frank Gouldthrite's downs fall. He was popular among a large circle of friends, and the past fortnightai disclosures of scandals at the Printing Bureau have come as it great shock to the hundreds of citizens who aave known and likea him for many years. It 18 probable the body will be brought here for interment after the coroner's inquest at Detroit. 0-* TORONTO CAR MEN Company Refuses More Wages and Makes a Proposition.
