CANADA DOESN'T WANT TO FIGHT.

MAND SPEEDY SETTLEMENT OF
THE ALASKA BOUNDARY

Ottawa Ont, July 26 (SpecaD.-The Alaska
boundary dispute has not been discussed In Par
lament since the sitting Of the House last Satur-
day, but general discussion among the members
is going at almost every hour of the day, and
the attitudes assumed by Sir Wilfrid Laur1er and
Sir Charles Tupper are being commended by men,
bers both sides of the House.
Even the Senators have taken up the question:
and assert that firm grounds must he taken by
both Canada and England to bring about an early
settlement Of this vexed question.
It is unanimously declared that the honor and
interests Of Canada demand that there should be
no further delay in the matter. and that II the
United States will not consent to arrive at an
honorable settlement. then means Will have TO be

ment would honoraby and speedily consent to an
amicable and satisfactory understanding regard
fng the matter. One Of the Western members
openly expressed himself in the following language
THE United States has been trading on the
good nature of Great Britain and Canada. and
has assumed an attitude which, in the case Of less
closely allied nations. would mean nothing else
but the risk OF precipitating war. Sir Charles
Upper is emphatic In his demands for settle
ment Of the question. and maintains that what ne
said In Parliament last Saturday is but the voice
Of every loyal subject in Canada. He expresses
his disappointment at the unfair and inequltdbIe
stand taken by the United States. and claims that
there is just nardonable reason why Canada
should longer consent be rudely ignored and her
demands rudely shelved by a Power that ought 10
be one of the first to consent to a peaceful and
honorable settlement of question OF such I'M
portance as the Alaska boundary question Is.

that EngIand should exert every diplomatic means

the boundary question to arbitration. They sti!
have hope that the question will be so settled, ana
abhor the idea of possible conflict between two
such civilized and friendly nations as Great Britain
and the United States They are willing to await
further developments believing that when the mat
ter is fully considered and the effects OF the
heated discussions which recently took place have
disappeared. both nations will become more recon
ciled. and without further delay will consent TO
meet each other half way. Sir Wilfrid Laurier
also expresses his belief that, though the clouds
have for some time past been heavy, they are a.

hope of an early satisfactory. honorable and pa

johannesburg. July 26.-A rumor is current
here that the Raad at first refused to accept
President KrJger's resignation only by the
chairman's casting vote. Anyway, the dyna
mite company appears to be alarmed at the
apparent determination Of the Volksraad to can
eel the monopoly. and has submitted to the
Government proposals for the reduction Of the
prices of dynamite gelatine. These are accom-
panied however, by certain stipulations one be-

the annual sale Of 25OOOO cases. The Volks-
raad adjourned the discussion Of these pro-
posas.
1t is stated that the Executive Council at

VIEWS OF AMBASSADOR WHITE.
HE BELIEVES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
WILL WELCOME ARpITR ALTON
TRIBUNAL

TRIBUNAL.
London, July 27-The Hague correspondent
Of "The Times" reports a long conversation with
Andrew D. White, United States Ambassador
at Berlin and head OF the American delegation,
in which the Ambassador. after referring TO
the earnest desire of the American people for a
comprehensive arbitration scheme as proved by
the constant petitions and resolutions of large
meetings held in all parts Of America since the
conference has been sitting. said
81 believe a vast majority Of our people Will
welcome our arbitration treaty and see In 1t a
serviceable plan from the outset and germ
from which more complete system VIII be
evolved by future conferences. AS time pro-
crosses, without doubt references to the tribu-
nal will become increasingly natural and nor
NAL and thus we may hope TO have every ad-
vantage claimed for obligatory arbitration
without its overwhelming disadvantages. But
II could hardly be expected that We should be
willing to accept the requirement to sweep away
at once, here and now the policy of Monroeism.
IF any modification is ever made of that pol
icy It must be made by the United States after
it has had the fullest opportunity to study the
subject In all its bearings. Such a change can
not be made here by implications in treaty
made distinctly for another purpose, and 1t Is
important that there should be no doubt on this
point"
Mr. White then referred to the deep. almost
religious conviction in the hearts OF the Ameri-
can people against any foreign ENHANCEMENT >
He added, however, that the declaration or
Monroeism would leave the United States policy
exactly what II had been heretofore. and would
not in the slightest degree hamper the operation
of the arbitration plan. ON the contrary, the
United States would fully and faithfully CO.
operate in the judicial settlement Of interna-
tional difficulties by means Of the agency and
machinery provided in the Convention. The past
history Of the United States abundantly shows
declared Mr.. White. that ii had never mani
tested the slightest desire To interfere with or
hamper arbitration proceedings.
The Ambassador then mentioned numerous
cases Of arbtrations arising under four classes
which might be regarded as involved in the
Monroeism declaration:
First-Between the United States and Euro
pear Powers.
Second-Between the United States and an
other American Power.
Third-Between two American Powers. neither
being the United States.
Fourth--Between an American Power other
than the United States and foreign Power.
In every instance" said Mr.. White. the
United States has regarded these arbitratlons
as promoting peace; and therefore there is MOTH
ing in our history to warrant the idea that our
attitude would be hostile to any settlement pos
sible under this convention"
