PARTIAL. AGREEMENT.
som = Progress Being Made In Set
ting the Alaskan Boundary
Dispute.

New York, Sept. 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Great
Britain and the United States have prac.
fning the boundary between Alaska and
Canada. Negotiations now in progress
relate only to minor questions growing
out of the definition of the line.
One of the unsettled questions relates
to the status of the mines owned by
Americans which may lap over into ter
ritory which has been under the control
of Canada. Representatives OF American
mine-owners say that it would be unfair
to American miners if no provision should
be made for them in case their prop
erty should lie half on the American and
half on the Canadian side of the line.
The prospective settlement of the
boundary question is due to concessions
made not only by Great Britain. but by
this government also.
Secretary Hay has won in the matter
of excluding Canada from the Lynn ca
nal, but port of entry on the. canal
will be given should the final settlement
fail to give Canada a permanent har-
Dor. The secretary has also been sue
cessful in keeping the British to the north
of the village of Kluckwan, though it is
said he has agreed to the placing of the
line Just above the village instead of four
miles beyond, as originally demanded.
Secretary Hay laid the late correspond
ence in the controversy before the cabi-
net ard considerable satisfaction with it
was expressed.
1t is expected that the modus vivendi
will be settled in n few days unless Can
ada should again assume a hostile atti-
tude, and her present attitude is concil-
iatory.
Special Commissioner Kasson, who is
member of the joint high commission,
conferred with Secretary Hay today re-
garding the boundary negotiations. The
modus .vivendi has nothing to do with
the other questions pending between
Canada and the United States
1t is exepcted by administration off,
cials, however, that with the settlement,
even temporarily, of the boundary ques-
ton, it will be possible to push other
matters in negotiation to successful
conclusion, especially as Great Britain
has taken the stand that the boundary
controversy must be adjusted before the
other matters can be settled

four days in the field report chicken
shooting the poorest in recent years. The
lack of birds, they claim. is occasioned by
the cold and wet weather during hatch
