Termite desitetth—Air. A1. B. Ayies- worth, K. C., en the occasion of his welcome back to Toronto by the Canadian Club last night may be said to have distinctly surprised iris hosts. Almost every one of the iins0 diners who crowded the great banquet hall of the King Edward Hotel expected some word off protest, if not some criticism, at the Alaskan tribsnal from the man who so ably, if ineffectually, presented Canada's case before it. Mr. Ayleswortly, however, did not carry out a q:eotations.

He did roc, however, retreat tram his po- sition that •the decision of the tribunal upon the two great issues was not judieial. Ile plainly told hits hearers that, having fought well and being beaten, it was their duty to acquiesce. In contrast somewhat was the elo,luent but aggressively Canadian address of the President of the club, Mr. D. Bruce elacdonald. The audience was appreciative of both, and Air. Ay1eseorth,'s reception was most demonstrative. The decora- tions were simple, but significant, a huge 'Union Jack and a Canadian flag hanging; behind the guest table. Mr. Aylesworthl and Judge Thos. Ilodgins were the guests of the club, and sat respectively on the right and left of the President, D. truce Mareloiiald.

The constitu- tion was pnt•aliar in that the Judges were three mets from each side to the disputr, and it was ine.vitable "I am not here in defiance of that course," said Mr. Aylesworth. "I are not upon my defence. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) That course has not been taken without anxious an•d Long deliberation, without the fullest realization of the responsieility we' Were incurring, That course is not the result of impetuousity of tem- perament, or any petulance of feel- ing, of any irritation, or even of any grief.

Proceeding, Mr. Ayleeworth again declared that there had been 110 fric- tion among the members of the tri- unal, and ire declared, amid profound Silence, that Lord Alverstone WO in every sense of the word a thorough gentleman.

(Hear, hear.) He had thought that in regard to all these matters more should not be said on his part. He deeply deplored the cir- cumstances which had led to the present situation. Mee situation had, however, arisen, and the one practi- cal question for us was, "What is to be done about it?" There was but one answer.

He was glad to rind that the people of Toronto did not share that feeling simply because they had lost in a struggle on which their hearts bad been set. (Applause.) A Britien Subject.

Is it not still a matter of equal pride that we are still able to say, as was said by a Canadian now no more, •`A British subject I was born ; a Brit- ish subject I will die" ? (Loud cheers, and waving of handkerchiefs). Mr. Aylesworth resumed his seat amid a loud burst of cheering. Mr. I). M Cameron, President of the Hamilton Canadian Club, was among the guests present. was coughed in I, rench, the language of diplomacy, and every wordd was carefully gone over by distinguished statesmen. The treaty was designed to settle once and for all the ques- tions at issue. The boundary line was agreed to start from the southern- most point of Prihce of Wales Island and ascend toward tlio north by the channel called Portland Channel to the 56th parallel of north latitude, anis from this to follow the tops of the mountains situated parallel to the coast until it reached the sum- mit of Mount St. Elias. T•hero was inserted in a subsequent article of tiro treaty a proviso, in- sisted upon by Secretary of State Canning, that in case the mountains parallel to the coast were more than ten marine leagues from the ocean, the width of the territory yielded to Ruesia should not exceed that dis- tance. The terms were reasonably definite, but questions arose upon three points. First, there was the question, what was the channel call- ed Portland Channel? Next there was the question what was meant by the word const, whether it was a line which marked the actual edge of the lend, or whether it was the general direction or trend of the coast line. Lastly, there was the question, what were the mountains c,esi•gnated by the treaty of 1825, those which were to constitute the boundary Lille ? Tile first question, and the question which in the end had been perhaps of greater particu- lar significance than any other, was one' that seemed to present the least difficulty. Whet was Portland Chan- nel ? That was a question of fact. Vancouver Narrative. No question of law could be invol- ved. It was a question that admitted of no doubt upon the testimony. The nomenclature of the region had been applied by Vancouver a few years before. His narrative was well- known to the citizens of both coun- tries long before the treaty of 1825. It could scarcely be gainsayed that the narrative was in the hands of the men who negotiated the treaty. 'Upon that point Vancouver's narra- tive had left no doubt, and 'ne might say', without danger of any, desire to be controverted on the part of anyone interested in this question from the standpoint of the j•Jnited States, that no erne questioned but that if the fact were established that if Vancouver's narrative was in the hands of the men who nego- tiated the treaty,' of 80 years ago, its answer to the question as to the identity of Portland Channel was conclusive. ,A glance at the map would show that Portland Channel, an arm of the sea, extended inland from the general coast line a dis- tance of somritbleg over 80 miles, at its greatest width only two or three miles across, a long, deep, narrow fiord, which divided at its approach toward the Pacific into two forks, a northern and a south- ern. The southern one Vancouver distinctly' called Observatory, Inlet. Equally clear' was it from his narra- tive that the northern channel was the one which he called Portland Channel, and which, at all events, he understood by the worde "Porta. Land Channel," and which afterwards were imported into the treaty on 1825. strikers detained had a dagger with THIS BEATS WIRELESS. fest wage 1 to in fn.vor of the nation to wilich they belonged. a bls.de five inches long whieh he lied manufactured from an old file, stuck in his belt.
