Washington, May 19.-It has come to light in negotiations now going on in London between Lord Salisbury and Sir Julian PauncefoBe on enc side. and AmibaesaIdor Choate on the other, that the resunling of the joint com mission depends entirely upon the dis position made of the Alaskan boun- dary question.
 When the commission adjourned last winter it swas because the two branches were unable to agree upon it. The Americans finally proposed to drop the boundary question entirely as subject for consideration by the commission leaving it to be adjusted by ordinary d.i2it,omadic methods of ar bitration. The Canadians refused to consent to a separation of the question from thia others. Therefore adjourn ment followed and it is necessary for the United States ard Great Britain to agree upon one of two courses be- fore the commission meets again.
