A SECRET AGREEMENT.
Said to Exist With Canada Regard
ing tho AlaAkn Question

Said to Exist With Canada Regard
ing the Aiaska Question.
Washington, Aug. 2S.-In spite of the
apparent abandonment of the negotla-
lions with Canada, 1t was learned last
night, on authority Of an official whose
connection with the boundary question
has been constant and confidential, that
secret agreement had been reached, as
the result of which a temporary arr
rangement will be accomplished before
congress meets in December.
AS the result of negotiations conduct
ed in the utmost secrecy, assurances
have been given the American commits
sioners it Is said, that if they will allow
matters to rest until after the Canadian
elections in October temporary agree
ment will be readily reached. 1t is sug-
gested that the basis of the new modus
vivendi has been sketched out and prac-
tically agreed upon by the American
and the Canadian commissioners.
The British foreign Office understands
the situation and will agree to anything
the Canadians do.
The basis of the agreement is the post
ponement Of the meeting of the high
joint commission until November. In
the meantime Sir Wilfrid Laurier will
conduct an active and aggressive cam
paign. He will appeal to the Canadian
people on the boundary and lumber
questions. and his stump speakers will
make much of the determination never
to give up an inch of so-called British
soil in the far northwest. The campaign
will be permitted to drift into lingo
lines for the express purpose of induc-
ing the voters of Canada to put Sir Will
frid Laurier and his associates in firm
possession OF the dominion government
National and commercial prejudces
will be aroused and cultivated and the
Laurier government will demand the
support of the people in it's efforts to
curb and crush the grasping Yankees
who will be painted as endeavoring To
steal sacred British territory The re-
suit Of an election conducted on such
issues would hardly be otherwise thar
the return to power OF the Laurler gov.
eminent.
A month later. according to the secrej
agreement, the high joint commission is
to meet in Quebec. as originally intend
ed, and Sir Wilfrid and his politica
partners will then be found ready ia
make an agreement which will be in
somewhat sharp contrast to their cam
paign declarations,

NEW ESSAY BY DR.. BURGESS.

A brief essay on "A Question of Con-
sciousness,' by DR.. O. 0. Burgess of this
city, has attracted the attention of scien-
tific men. It's point is. apart from reveIa-
ton, to prove the individuaHzed immor-
tality of the human soul. The argument
is closely knit together and is expressed
with unusual terseness and precision. Dr.
Burgess regards the human body as a
material and transitory complexity, and
therefore perishable; but the soul as an
emanation- from the one substance of
eternal being, wrought into a segregated
personality by the experiences of life and,
because it is simple and elementary. in
capable of death or fundamental change
The essay is marked by originality and
well deserves the concentrated attention
it eXacts.
