LONDON, July 9.-The Alaskan boun-
dairy dispute again looms large IT. the news
papers. and heated discussion Is raging
for and against the latest suggestion that
a harbor should be leased to Canada. The
official view seems to favor this compromise
as a general basis for a friendly arrange
ment. II Is pointed out that as the United
States, Canada and Great Britain have to
live as neighbors and In their hearts desire
TO live as friends, neither side can afford
10 assume nonpossumus attitude or act
as il this were to be the last transaction to
be arranged, and the main question at
issue, though almost lost to view among
the multitude OF Irritating side issues, was
a means Of easy access to the Klcndike. the
lease of harbor would seem to meet the
practical needs of Canada. On the other
hand. the Saturday Review voices the feel
ing Of a considerable section OF the pub
lie in pointing out that by accepting the
suggested settlement Canada debars herself
from again raising the question of terrific
rial right and becomes a mere licensee where
she claims to be the owner in fee simple.
Many think the proposed compromise would
lead TO endless complications, annoyances,
acts OF retaliation and attempts on one side
TO exceed their own or restrict the other
sides rights. Under the proposed compro-
mise, the Saturday Review thinks, Canada
ought In no event to surrender her rights
IN international law, unless she concurrent
y receives considerable concessions from
tie United States on other questions before
the commission.
The Saturday Review proceeds to claim
that Canada now suffices for herself, both
politically and economically, and has no
further need of the United States; that only
the most factious policy on the part of
Great Britain could revive the annexation
fst party in Canada, and asks what possible
reason Canadians could have for involving
the country in the gravest international
questions. The article concludes as fol-
lows: with thousands OF Americans
slaughterfng F1lipinos whom they want to
free. while the truth Is concealed from the
public by methods worse than Russia's, as
an instance of external aggression, and with
a reign Of terror In Cleveland, where a tram
strike Is conducted with nitroglycerin
bombs, as an example Of internal convul-
sion, there is raised the grave question of
what will happen when the present tide of
prosperity turns Therefore. to urge Canada
10 go beyond the bounds of reasonable con-
cession would be good neither for her nor

tween two towns striving for supremacy.
Anvil City, situated near the mouth OF
Snake river, and Nome City, at the mouth
of Nome river, are about four miles apart.
and from this start the former took the lead
because of its proximity to the rich claims
on Anvil creek, a tributary of Snake river.
A town site was staked and several mer-
chants sent out for stationery bearing the
name Anvil City. having every assurance
that the name would not be changed. In the
meantime. Nome City was gradually ex-
panding and IL was freely predicted that

BARON DE STALLS GAVEL
BRINGS INTERNATIONAL PEACE CON-
FERENCE TO AN END.
Announcement Made Tint Sixteen
Nations Have Signed the Arbi-
tratiop Convention.

THE HAGUE, July 29.-The international
peace conference adjourned to-day. 1t was
announced that sixteen states had signed
the arbitration convention. fifteen the other
two conventions, seventeen the declaration
prohibiting the throwing Of projectiles or
explosives from balloons, sixteen the dec
laration prohibiting the use of asphyxiating
gas and fifteen the declaration prohibiting
use Of expansive bullets.
The three conventions dealing with arbi-
tration, the laws and customs of war and
the adaptation of the Geneva convention
to naval warfare were not signed by Ger
many, Austria, Hungary, China, England,
Italy, Japan, Luxembourg. Servia, Switzer-
land or Turkey. The United States signed
only the arbitration convention, and that
under reserve. Roumania also made reser-
walton. The three declarations prohibiting
the throwing of explosives from balloons,
the use OF asphyxiating projectiles and the
use of dum-dum bullets were not signed by
Germany, Austria, Hungary, China, Eng
land, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Servia or
Switzerland, and the United States signed
only the declaration regarding the throwing
of explosives from balloons.
A letter was read from the Queen OF Hol-
land to the Pope asking his moral support
of the conference. The Pope's reply. which
was read, promised cooperation, recalled
the fact that he had many times performed
the function of arbitrator, and assured her
Majesty that the Pope would continue to
seek the advancement of civilization.
Baron de Staal delivered the farewell ad-
dress, thanking the representatives of for
eign states. He said the work accomplish
ed, while not so complete as might be de-
sired, was sincere, wise and practical. The
great principles of the sovereignty Of in
dividual states and International solidarity,
apparently so opposing. had been reconciled
by what they had accomplished. He affirmed
that in time to come institutions which
had their origin in the need Of concord
would be the dominating influence, and
that thus the work of the conference was
truly meritorious.
Minister Esteurnelles and DIR. Beaufort
followed, the latter saying that If the con-
ference had not realized Utopian dreams.
nevertheless ii had disproved pessimistic
forebodings and the moral effect would
more ard more influence public opinion and
aid governments to solve the question of the
limitation of ornaments, which still remain
a source of grave consideration for states
men of all countries. Baron de Staal then
declared the conference closed.
