tefore Alaska Commission by
Attorney -General,
'SCORES A POINT FOR DOMINION.
London cable : Sir Robert Fin-
lay, ,who ,represented Canada at the
first meeting of the Alaska Boundary
i.pomauission, held to -day, scored a
. decided point for Canada when he
quoted from. the report of Medenhall,
chief of the United States coast sur-
aeey, that he understoocj the word
'e coast" to mean the "general trend
of the coast."
Re dwelt on the words of the
treaty that the line was never to
•exceed ten leagues, and he sheered
• that distance. Be next commented
ulxon the United States' contention
that there were -no mountains with-
in ten leagues, and showed that for
long stretches there 'were undoubt-
edly mountains. He then cited the
St. Elias and the ailps as huge phy-
sical facts.
Sir Roberts said that as a French
King once said, there are no more
Pyrenees, so the United States pro-
pose to eliminate front nature the St.
eEliae and the Alps, Again he showed
that mountains exist ten or twelve
anilee back of Dyea, whereas the
United States' claim ignores them al-
together, and runs the line 35 miles
back from the head of Lynn canal.
In this way they seek to acquire an
additional 10.000 square miles, to
which! they cannot possibly have any
claim:
Ho then took up the negotiations
of 1823 and 1825, and allowed that
when these negotiations were in
progress the parties must have been
familiar with Vancouver's narra-
tive, and w,as proceeding critically to
examine the negotiations in support
• of the claim of Great Britain when
tithe court rose for lunch.
After recess, in taking up the ne-
gotiations which led to the treaty
of 1825, the Attorney.+GeneraJ said
that before analysing them in de-
tail it would be well first to take
a connected view of them' as a whole.
• Ee thought that they should be di-
vided
tvided into five stages. Firstly —
From September to November, 1822,
negotiations between the Duke of
. Wellington and Coast Nerschode, at
Verona. Secondly—From 1823, ne-
gotiations between Sar Charles Begot
and Nerschode at St. Petersburg.
Thirdly—From February to March,
1824, being the negotiations be-
tween Sir Charles l3ea.got, Nerschode
, and Peletica, wherein Begot re-
' fused to agree to the line C15 as
the southern boundary, and pressed
for a more advantageous boundary
' for Great Britain. Fourthly—Frons
, Slily to September, 1824, , when
'evolve vorge Canning instructed Begot to
accept the line 55, Begot did so, but
r• tailed in other points and quitted
St. Petersburg. Fifthly—Froin De-
cember, 1824, to February, 1825,
• 'when. Canning's negotiations resulted
in the treaty.
Regarding the ,first negotiations,
Sir Robert dwelt -particularly upon
the letter from Baron Tuyll, the
Russian negotiator, to Nerschode, in
which Tuyll suggested a line from
the southernmost point of Prince of
,Wales Island to Observatory Inlet,
as proving they knew and recognized
Observatory Inlet as distinct front
the Portland canal.
The British claim) is for the/ Port-
land canal, which the treaty names
the United States' claims for Obser-
• va'tory Inlet, which, though the ne-
gotiators knew, they did not give.
The Attorney -General, proceeding,
took up the argument point, and was
dealing with George Canning's modi-
fied instructions of 12th July, 1824,

SUBSTATUTE FOR SUUAR.
Plant of Remarkable Sweetening
Qualities Found.
Waseington, Sept. 2L—The Agri-
cultural Department is enquiring
into the statement of Consul -Gen-
eral Richard Guenther that a new
plant has been discovered in South
America which promises to sup-
plant the sugar Dane and tire sugar
beet. Soientifioally the plant is
known as the Eupatorium reband-
ium, and it contains a large amount
of saccharine matter, and a high
percentage of natural sugar pro-
perties which are easy to extra6*,
According • to Mr. Guenther, e
lump the size of a pea will suffici-
ently sweeten a cup of coffee, as
the product made from' the plant is
from `:O to 30 times sweeter than
cane or beet sugar. It is said to
be easily cultivated In countries
having climatic conditions similar
to those of the southern portion of
the United States.
FIO1ITFI OF S�CIWIISM.
International Congress of the
Party Held at Dresden.
QUESTIONS TO BE DISCUSSED.
Dresrle>n, Sept. 21,—About 500 dele-
gates, u'icruurng representatives of
tireat Britain, France, Italy., Aus-
tria, and eivitzerland, attended the
inaugural reception of the annual
congress of Sootat Democrats Here
last evening. Barren Banger and"Ka-
den were elected pram/lents with
equal powers. Herr Kaden ,in bis in-
troductora address, mentioned the
fact that at the last congress of
the Social Democrats in Dresden,
which was held in 1873, only; 57
delegates were present. At that time
there were 100,000 eeocialisrts in tier -
many and the party had bat two
members 'm the 'Reichstag. Now tbere
were 1,000,000 eleciaiists and 81
members in tbe Reichstag.
The question which line been hot-
ly discussed as to whether the So-
cialist party should assert its right
to one of the vice-presidencies of the
new Peioh,stag, although it is caus-
ing considerable agitation among
the members, is not likely to cause
the disruption which was predictied
in many quarters. It may, indeed, be
settled on the first day's meeting
of the congress.
The Sessions of the congress are
expected to continue for a week. Of
the many resolutions that will be
discussed these three are the most
important : Fir,st, that tbe Social
Democrat party shall take the initi-
ative in the Reichstag in introducing
politica.] and 'social measures of re-
form; 'second that party shall frame
its own bills instead of leaving this
work of introducing new legislation
to the Government as heretofore,
and, third, that an agitation be form-
ed to instruct the public by speeches
a.ud writing.

Chicago i'rofessor Discovers a Food
That Will Make Us All Giants.
Chicago, Sept. 21.—The age of the
race of giants is about to be ushered
in again. Henceforth there will be
no pigmies, for a wonderful food sub-
stance has been discovered in Chicago
that makes men and animals grow.
fast and large.
The new food is lecithin. Its qual-
ities have just been demonstrated by
a series of experiments by Dr. Shin-
kiahi Hatai, professor of neurology
at the University of Chicago. Dr.
Metal experimented with white rats,
and by feeding them lecithin made
them grow 60 per cent, faster than
they grow ordinealiy This was under
conditions -of nim xiphere and general
Surroundings that were unfavorable.
The scientific men say that lecithin
will have a similar effect on human
beings.
Lecithin, according to the defini-
tion given by Dr. Hata', is an or-
ganic phosphorus -containing body
found in eggs, brain matter and the
white corpuscles of the blood."
The professor's experiments show
that the growth produced by lecithin
is normal and healthy. It stimulates
all parts of the body exactly alike,
thus acting unlike other stimulants.
