Alaskan boundary settled by convention with Britain and US
From Ottawa a convention settles the Alaskan boundary dispute with Britain recognizing the US claim to the three marine leagues from the mainland shore. The line remains along the Chilkoot and White Pass summits per the 1825 demarcation, disfavoring the Canadian British stance. A potential UK US Japan alliance and a Vancouver murder case with cross border implications are noted.

Canada urged to protect lead mining via policy shift
The Winnipeg Free Press debates Canada levying import duties on lead to aid British Columbia mines. It argues for home market protection to boost smelting, notes Canada consumes 25 000 tons yearly while production is under 20 000 tons, and warns against overreliance on foreign imports. It cites rising mining interest, new voyages to Kootenay, and a London firm planning the Whitewater mine acquisition with strong profits.
