day AS she steamed away the Oregon,
Baltimore and Concord fired an Admi-
rails salute. At the first shot the band
on the flagship played a lively air, and
the crew crowded the decks and gave
thunderous cheers. AS the Olympia
passed the Oregon the crew Of that bat
tleship gave nine cheers for the Olympl-
ans, who responded by throwing their
caps so high that dozens of them were
left bobbing in the wake of the cruiser.
Then followed the noisiest half-hour

Has Been Practically Dropped
From the Discussion.

LONDON, May 20.-The fate of the
Anglo-American-Ca Commission
is naturally regarded here as matter
OF great Importance, and the various
rumors and reports on the subject at
tract much attention. a dispatch from
Washington to the effect that the re-
sumption of the commissions labor de-
ponds upon a settlement of the Alaskan
boundary dispute has been published in
this city, and a representative of the
Associated Press made inquiries at the
center of the negotiations in London.
From an unimpeachable source he OBJ
tanned the following statement:
THE thorny nature of the Alaskan
question makes it probable that at the
resumption of the sittings of the COM
mission it will be withdrawn from dis
cussiOn, to be taken up later should cir
cumstances be favorable. The Alaskan
question, in fact, has practically been
dropped out of the discussions, and the
statement that it's discussion and set
tlement will be the sine qua non Of the
resumption of the sittings of the COM
mission is inaccurate"
The representative of the Associated
Press was assured that the matter has
been discussed in the most conciliatory
spirit on both Sides

shrewd not to see fiasco. Uitlanders
who have just returned from the Trans
vaal are strongly of the opinion that
President Kruger will now give in if
Great Britain takes the bull by the
horns. They add that the Beers will
arm, and that there will be rafting of
