London, by C*ble.~The Assocmt^l Ib enabled to give authoritatively Canada's final proposition for a per- j manent settlement of the Alaska <,iH' nute. It lH very different from her for mer demands and wh? delivered to rotted States Ambassador Ohoate. by | the Canadian Minister of Marine and Fisheries. Sir l.ouls Henry Davlea. j before the latter walled ppd wan i dl? j patched to Washington by the official of the United States embassy. ' l< >** ?* follows: '"That the boundary line be arbltr led upon terms similar to those im posed by the Vnlted States and <.rcat Britain over Venezuela, particularly thope provisions making fill) >eara occupancy by either aide conclusive eveldencc of title, occupancy of l*ss ihan that period to be taken an equ t> Hllowa under International law. "That a* a condition preeedented and nbaolutely preliminary to arbitration Skaguay and Dyea would be conceded to tho Vnited States without further claim If Canada received Pyramid har bor. '?In other words. Canada Rives up much of tho disputed gold country in return for a seaport, but stipulates that she must get tho latter betoio rtic agrees to arbitrate the boundary line." , It Is Mid at the State Department, that the proposition as to a permanent Alaalran boundary laid down bj ? u Louia Davis, Is nothing more nor less than a summary of claim* heretofore preferred. When tho Commission wa in session last spring, and the Canna dian proposition wan made to t-e the boundary question by arbitration, the American commissioners repllet bv an offer to accept arbitration wit 1 the proviso that no point occupied by Americans for a specified term of years should be submitted to tho arb.tratlo ? In other words, the term was so m that bv no possibility could the tin* to Skaguay. Dyea. or anv other phue ,?at the Americans had occupied for a period represented by the discovery of the Klondike field, be called Into question by the arbitration. This wn one of tho final propositions rejectel bv the Canadian commissioners, which caused the failure of the Joint con ference. Since thai time there base beep several suggestions in the nature of .compromises and included thnae was one like that embodied in Sir Louis Dnvies' ^^^T^Hon ? It: that the Vnlted States should con Arm the Canadian title to Pyram, 1 harbor for the Canadian oonflrma lo.i of the American to Skaguay and I 1 j>ca. It Ik not possible to Hccurateb foie east the view that the State mfDt will take of this la*t but it mav oe proper to recall the fai t that In tJhe opinion of the Department Canada ha, no more claim to Pjrram.d harbor than It has to Skaguay and Dvea. and the British government has already been Informed ?f thn h ella . Therefore. H seems probable that Sir TyOUlB Da vies' proportion terlally adrance a permanent sett it - rnent of the l>oundary question. and that the two countries will cont n,.e U act for eome time to come undei , of thr modus Vivendi ro?n<l) arrant by S-crelavy Hay an>< . ..

S. : IV fir Sir' You desire to be advised whether tho Maine person can bo * town warden, deputy sheriff. jailor and a niober of the county board of control at the name limn, and it" not. which of these p;>-,ltloiri :< re vacated The con ? t itutlon in section article 2. provides: "No person shall hold two others of hor ir or profit at the tamo time " Hence, our Investigation must be directed t > determine whether more thin on** of the ihove enumerat ed position* i.> an oflleo of honor or pi )fii. An ofllco is defined to be a right, authority aiul duty created and co li ter rod by law. by v. hloh. for a Riven period either fixed by law or enduring n? the pleasure of the creating power, an individual is invested with some portion of the sovereign functions of the goTcrnment, to be exercised by hint for the benefit of tho public. N'o'v it iM manifest that this* definition ap plies to the town warden. Such an of llco is created and so denominate 1 by law and is Invested with a right and duty of performing Important func tions of government. A town warden is, with certain restrict ions, the legis lative and judicial power of a munici pality. The supreme court of this State in the case of Alexander vs. Me K 'nzlc. Second S. (\. si. lay.** down the rule hero set forth. Likewise the deputy sheriff comes within the pur view of t!ie above definition. The of ficc is ere ft tod by l.iw (sections 713 and 711. volume 1. revised statute): the appointment Is made by the shcriil subject to the wpproval of the circuit Judge, and fhe apointnient Is evidenc ed by the shtyif's ccitificate. fhe deputy may be require J to give bond and must sign a constitutional oath as well as oLhcr oaths, and when thu volume II. revised statutes.) fhe ? i v> - ties of the sheriff. Ii is clear, there fore. t lift t ho is an officer. Likewise a jailor is a public officer. The office is treated by law. the appointment must be in writing aud filed with the clerk of the court. (Sections i>2*> . ~>27. volume 11., revised statutes. The du ties are defined by .-'talute aud are c>f a public nature, with penalty 'for uo.i - performance. The supreme court in State vs. Sellers, 7th Rich. .168. takes the view that a jailor is a public offl cor. Members of the county board ?'[ eon trol not only come within the deffuiMor of a public ofll< er. as above -.;et fortii. but are specifically croated and dn rominatod bflbers in section of the dispensary law of 1890. wlicvln i' i1 provided: member of the county board of control shall qualify an 1 be commissioned as are other cannty of ficers." As all four of the positions suggest ed are public office* of either honor or profit or both, as contemplated by th" constitution, it is evident tint p. y per son can hold either two < ' more of them at the same time. As your communication docs not state the numerical order in which the above mentioned offices are accepted. It If impossible for me ? ?> <ieci le wh:< i o fllo^ or <>flt? have been vacated. However, that matter can be deter mined. for it is a well established rule (State vs. Uutts. fMh S. 1 7 *? > . that the acceptance of a second office is Ipso facto the abandonment and to slgnatlva of the first. Hence, the first three of these ofTior?$ accepted wore vacated and the last, if there be no other legal reason. Ik In force. Verv t ? til v yours. T X. fiilNTBR.

Ilut. like the true sportsman trtnt be is. tli e bting of defeat has loft j no bitterness, and with undaunted j courage, die intimates that lie may be , back with- a better boat to try again, j During Ills ftay here. Sir Thomas has ! made himself more popular than any previous challenger, and the yachts men of ibis country will be glad to ! welcome him back. Kxcept for the re peated ftukrs and the unfortunate ae- i cldcnt to the challenger on Tuesday, j tihis series of mors has been unmar- j red by a sing!" untoward Incident. The j boats have hud two fair and square ; race?, one In the light alls and the < othpr in a henry blow, nnd Hfr Thomas Is perfectly satisfied that he was beat en by the belter boat. The day's ra?e was a glorious test of ? the rough weather qualities of the two yachts. There was too much frosti neBs In the air for comfort, and it was fa.r too rough for' landlubbers. T?y? sky waa overcast with cold, gray clouds and the fierce flaws of the rblj ling blasts out of the northeast whip ped the foam out of the racing wave/? until they whitened the face of the ?ea. Outside the oeean was a riot of white caps. Some of the holiday fleet declined to brave the f-erlls of the harpies riding down on the northeaster and those that did rolled and plunged In the tumbling billows,' sending all hut the old salts below. The prayer of Sir Thomas fcr wind was answered. It was blowing 25 miles an hour at the light ship, enough wind and enough m# to make any racing machine stag j5f>r. The course, fifteen. miles before the urifed south by west? carried the yachts straight 4*v/n the Jersey coast to a point off Umg Branch, to that the race was sailed tij plain view of the thousands per4h?d upon the heights of Navesink and etretcbed along the ?horo from SesUSfM to Aibory Fart.

The Corsair /greeted Iter wit.h cannon, which Sir Thomas ai ?> knowledged by dipping the Knglish Jack at the ta ft rail. Then, by Sir Thomas' orders, the crew of the Krin lined the rail and gave three good Anglo-Saxon cheers for the victors. They worn returned with interest by the proud crew of the Columbia. The American boat was the first to reach her mooring buoy, inside the Hook, and when her late rival came tip In tow, the sailors of both seized the op portunity to cheor each other lustily, letter. Sir Thomas went aboard the Carsir and there soon afterward, Mr. I?elln. managing own^r of the Colum bia, Joitied.iiilm. There were toasts to victor and vanquished, to America and Great Britain, to gentlemen and ladles and all aorta of things, and so, with felicitations all around, the cup series for 1899 ended with the be?-t of good feeling.
