Hostile.

Washington. March 1.-THE collision
between the American and Canadian
authorities reported from Vancouver is
exactly what was apprehended by the
representatives of the United States

week the British Columbia legislature
had passed an act multiplying completely
all of the interests which American
miners had so painfully and extensively
acquired in the new Atlin district. This

noxious law would be vacated by the
superior force of the treaty Appre-
hensive of trouble in the event Of the
failure of that instrument the two gov

Britain, reached an agreement in the
nature of a modus vivendi, roughly de-
filming by certain land marks the
boundary between the British and
American possessions from the Klon-
dixie section down TO British Column
bia.
