As 10 Boundary Not Shared
in United States.
DIPLOMACY IS NEEDED
And an Amicable Agreement Can Then
be Reached-The Canadian Pre-
mier's Speech Has Caused Great
Deal of Comment.

New York, July PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: There
will be neither war nor arbitration over
the Alaskan dispute. 1t will be settled
by amcable agreement, both the United
States and Great Britain making conces-
sions. This is the view expressed by an
official having much to do with the pend
ing negotiations. Referring to Sir Will
frid Laurier's speech in the Canadian
house of commons, in which the Canadian
premier declared there We're only two
ways by which the difficulty could be set
aied, arbitration or war, the official said
significantly:
"Sr Wilfrid is merely stating to the Ca
madam parliament the recognized meth
DDS by which civilized nations settle con-
troversies. There are three methods:
First, by mutual agreement; second, by
a resort to arbitration; third, by war. Sir
Wilfrid has neglected to mention the first
and most important Of these methods"
1t is recognized by the administration
that the boundary question is a difficult
, one, as are other questions pending be-
tween Canada and the United States, but
it is not regarded as impossible of ad-
| justment in some way satisfactory to the
American miners and the Canadian gov
(, ernment as well as the United States and
Great Britain. Some of the questions at
issue are more or less independent, and
| it was intimated that there was reason
| to hope a final settlement of the bound
airy controversy might grow out Of this
relate between the pending questions.
The official who made the suggestion
would not say which nation would prob
ably make concessions on the boundary
question, or concessions on some other
point the other side would make in re-
turn. 1t Is felt by officials of the admin
istration generally that while it may
take time and the exercise Of consider
able patience to work out final solution
of all the pending questions, such a solu-
tion will ultimately be reached in a neigh
borly spirit and without any clash or ser
ious strainng of relations between the
| two nations.
Senator Fairbanks, whose report on the
Alaska boundary controversy, as the re-
suit of his personal observations, has had
great influence in determining the policy
! of the administration, would not discuss
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's speech, nor would
he make any comments on the present
situation. 1t can be said, however, that
Senator Fairbanks is firmly of the opin-
ion that the boundary question can be
settled by amcable agreement If both
| sides will exercise patience.

No Need Of War.

New York. July PA special to the
World from Toronto says: Professor
Goodwin Smith, after reading Premier
Laurier's speech upon the Alaskan
boundary dispute, said:
"I am surprised and sorry Sir Wilfrd
Laurier should have even alluded to the
possibility of war over the Alaskan
boundary question. 1t would be a dis
grace to craftsmanship if it We're possible
that war should break out between Great
Britain and the United States about such
a matter. The question is not pressing.
All that is Immediately wanted is some
joint arrangement for the preservation Of
order in the disputed territory. After q
little reflection and everybody has had
time to cool, means will be found for a
settlement Of the question in an ami
cable way. / have thought from the be
ginning that it would have been better If
the Alaskan boundary question had not
been mixed up with other questions, such
as reciprocity questions, with which 1t
had nothing to do. Let the Alaskan
boundary question be kept apart and let
conference on commercial reciprocity
proceed. The two things. l repeat, have
nothing to do with each other

trate If the companies are violating the

pei them to arbirtate, but If the law is

Laurier is a poor man, and the $25, 900

him to liquidate all outstanding indebt-

cial membranes.
Already an agitation has arisen which
