THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
RECOVERING OF THE JOINT HIGH COM
MISSION DEPENDING ON THE DIS
POSITION MADE OF 1T

POSITION MADE OF 1T.
Washington. May 19-It has come to pass
that in the negotiations now proceeding In Lon
don between Lord Salisbury and Sir Julian
Pauncefote the one side. and Ambassador
Choate on the other that the resuming OF work
by the Joint High Commission depends entirely
on the disposition made of the Alaskan bound
airy question. When the Commission adjourned
last winter it was because the two branches
were unable to agree this question. The
Americans finally proposed to drop the bound
airy question entirely subject for considera-
ton by the Commission. leaving 1t 10 be adj
justed by ordinary diplomatic methods or by
arbitration The Canadians refused to consent
TO the separation Of this question from the
others. Therefore the adjournment followed.
and 1t is necessary for the United States and
Great Britain to agree on one of two courses
before the Commission meets agan--either by
mutual agreement the boundary question must
be withdrawn as a subject for consideration, or
the two nations must settle 1t themselves before
the Commission meets. The negotiations now In
progress are directed toward securing one of
these results.
Each member OF the American branch of the
Commission has received an invitation from the
Chamber of Commerce of Skaguay, through its
president to visit that port and see the condi-
tons. The invitation recites in strong language
the desire Of the people OF Skaguay to have the
Commission maintain to the utmost the claims
Of the United States to every foot OF territory
within thirty miles between the sea and the
boundary line. it has heretofore been recog-
nized The invitation has made an impression
on some members OF the Commission because
of the earnest expression of the determination
to maintain American rights TO the utmost Ii
is taken as completely negativing the statement
published some time ago that majority or the
people Of Skaguay desire annexation to Canada.
There is every indication Of the absolute and
final determination Of the American Commits
siOners TO uphold this view of the proper line
taken by the people of Skaguay, If the bound
airy question Is to be retained as one or the
subjects for action by the Joint High Commits
sion.
