ANNEXATION MOVEMENT
Not Progressing Favorably Owing to
 Lack of Newspaper Support.

Kingston, August 31.-The annexation movement has not progressed favorably, owing to the opposition of the colored ele- ment of the population and the lack of sup port from the newspapers. Consequently the Hon. Samuel Constantine Burke, Ja- maicas member of the Barbadoes confer ence, who sailed today, is not authorized to propose annexation as an alternative to the joint demand of the West Indies for fair treatment. Possibly British Guinea or BaTbadoes may take the initiative should the conference decide to adopt decisive ultimatum attitude.

IMPORTANT WORK.
Believed to Have Been Done by the Az
 bitrators at Quebec,

Quebec, August a.-fmportant work was done by the conference commissioners to- day, though not officially announced, 1t IS known that the discussion today was upon the question of boundary lines in Alaska. It is said that an agreement has been reach ed by the joint commission and that the settlement of the question will be left to an outside commission to be composed of foreign arbitrators to a commission to be composed of one member from the Unit ed States, one from Great Britain and one from Canada, and one of the foreign pow CTS. The settlement of the boundaries Is now merely matter of interpretation of the old treaty of 1925. Surveys have been made by both the United States and Cana da, and each nation now fully understands the contention of the other.
