Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 7, 1903

Mr. Raikes to Mr. Loomis.

British Embassy,
Newport, R. I., July 28, 1903.

Sir: With reference to Sir Michael Herbert’s No. 59 of March 19 last, it is my sad duty to inform you that the Hon. John Douglass Armour, judge of the supreme court of Canada, died in London on the 11th instant. In compliance with instructions which I have received from the Marquis of Lansdowne I have the honor to inform you that Mr. Aylesworth, K. C, of Toronto, has been selected as one of the three British members of the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal in place of the late judge.

I have the honor to be, sir, with high consideration,

Your most obedient servant,

Arthur S. Raikes.
