Sir Charles Upper Charges United
States with Intentionally Delay
ing boundary Negotiations.

London, Aug. 19.-Sir Charles Tup-
per, formerly Canadian high commits
sioner, in an interview with repre-
sentative of the press said:
1.-THE United States is purposely delaying
the settlement of the Alaska dispute on &C
count of the pecuniary benefit accruing to
miners and coast cities through delay and
has refused to have the boundary delim-
tied as is being done in Venezuela. No
settlement ever could be reached through
the even-side commission suggested by
the United States. We have reached an
impasse and have no intention of resuming
negotiations in regard to matters pending
between Canada and America until the
Alaska question is settled. propose that
a British railroad be built from Kitimata
to Dawson and that law be passed al
lowing only Britishers to mine on the
Yukon. The moment this is done the object
of the United States in preventing a settle
ment disappears. The dominion is a unit
in supporting Sir Wilfrid Laurier's stand"

Sells WithLrnvs.

Cato Sells could have been named for
governor, but was not acceptable to the
populists, and withdrew, throwing his
strength to White. Fred E. White was
the candidate on the fusion ticket two
YEARS ago, being defeated by Gov. Shaw,
who is the republican candidate again.
The convention was very turbulent
throughout, and the business was
transacted with difficulty, but the re-
suits are satisfactory to the radical sill
yer element, which was in control. 1t
is not probable, however, that the sound
money element will make an attempt
TO maintain separate organization

new one these functions are performed
