 The images appearing here are the best quality 
 possible considering the condition and legibility of 
 the onginal copy and in keeping with the filming 
 contract specifications. 
 
 Original copies in pnnted paper covers are filmed 
 beginning with the front cover and ending on the 
 last page with a pnnted or illustrated impression, or 
 the back cover when appropriate. All other original 
 copies are filmed beginning on the first page with a 
 printed or illustrated impression, and ending on the 
 last page with a printed or illustrated impression. 
 
 The last recorded frame on each microfiche shall 
 contain the symbol ^(meaning "CONTINUED"), or 
 the symbol V (meaning "END"), whichever applies. 
 
 Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at 
 different reduction ratios. Those too large to be 
 entirely included in one exposure are filmed begin- 
 ning in the upper left hand corner, left to nght and 
 top to bottom, as many frames as required. The 
 following diagrams illustrate the method: 
 
 Les images suivantes ont ete reproduites avec le 
 plus grand soin, compte tenu de la condition et de

 selon le cas. Tous les autres exemplaires ongin- 
 aux sont filmes en commenfant par la premiere 
 page qui comporte une empreinte d'impression ou 
 d'lllustration et en terminant par la derniere page 
 qui compcrte une telle empreinte. 
 
 Un des symboles suivants apparaitra sur la 
 derniere image de chaque microfiche, selon le cas- 
 le symbole ^ signifie "A SUIVRE", le symbole V 
 signifie "FIN". 
 
 Les cartes, planches, tableaux, etc., peuvent etre 
 filmes a des taux de reduction differents. Lorsque 
 le document est trop grand pour etre reproduit en 
 un seul cliche, il est filme a partir de Tangle

 'I'en days later Lord ^a.isbury wrote to Sir 
 I.ioiiel Saokville-Wpst. who, as the niembprs 
 of tliis House will reniembpr. was at that 
 tliue busy mixing himself up in the Ameri-

 in short terms, 
 
 Mr, GOUKLEY, Tricked by a low Yan- 
 kee. 
 
 Mr. BOUKASSA. Sir Lionel Sackville- 
 Wost replied to the Marquis of Salisbury 
 that he would lay the matter before the 
 Secretary of State; and here is the letter 
 sent by" the British Ambassador to the 
 Secretary of State : 
 
 Beverly, Mass.. September 10, 1S88. 
 
 Sir,— I have the honour -o Inform you that the 
 Marquis ot Salisbury has requested me to bring 
 
 10 your notice a rumour which has reached Her 
 Majesty's Kovernment that a charter Is about to 
 be granted by the authorities of Alaska tor cer- 
 tain privileges In a part of that country which 
 Is claimed by Great Britain, 
 
 Her Majesty's govrninent presume that this 
 rumour Is unfotinded, as the territory In ques- 
 tion Is part of Her Majesty's dominions. 
 I have, &c . 
 iSgd.) L. S SACKVILLE WEST. 
 
 Wlint was the territory that was cliiiineil, 
 and by wliat title did we claim tl.at the 
 t..ii-itnry \v:is oiMS ? TliP British Anibuss- 
 ador forgot to tell. The result was tliat the 
 Secretary of State replied that lie had iipver 
 lieard anything of the kind. The British 
 Ambassador sent the reply to the foreign 
 ollice, the foreign otllce sent it to the colonial 
 oHicp. the colonial oHlco sent it to Sir Charles 
 Tiipper, and Sir Charles Tiipper sent it to 
 Sir John Macdoniiid; .so that after four 
 months of correspondence and rod tape there 
 was notlilng left o' our claim, and it was 
 never known olticiaily to tlie United Statps 
 government that we had once in our life 
 protested against their interijretation of the 
 Treaty of ISlio, 
 
 .My conclusion from all this is that instead 
 of throwing stones at magistrates. Instead 
 of complaining in an undignifled way of the 
 result of this award, we should take the 
 position as it is, coldly and firmly, and 
 learn from it this lesson, which is not tlie 
 tirst nor tlio last, that if we want to deal 
 witii the American government, we siiould 
 deal directly through an agent at Wash- 
 ington appoi'ited by the Canadian govern- 
 ment. Then, Instead of It taking three 
 months to have our letters sent to Wash- 
 ington, they could be sent In three days. 
 I do not think I need add any more on this 
 (luestlon; but being free, as I have been since 
 this award was given, to speak my mind, 
 which I was prevented from doing for the 
 hist five years, I thought I would give a 
 piece of information to the House and 
 tlie country in regard to what I consider to 
 I be tlie real facts of this case, so that we 
 ! may draw clear and practical conclusions 
 j from the whole history of this Alaska bound- 
 I ary question.
