No TINE HAS BEEN Lost.
CANADIAN BOUNDARY QUESTION
HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED.
ernmenta Have Been Conducted
Through Mr.. Choate and Lord
salisbury-Omcinls VIII Not Talk.

WASHINGTON. May si-The officials
here are unwilling TO he drawn puoiicLy
into controversy ever the Canadian
boundary question even though the matter
has been made the subject OF a statement
In the house AT Ottawa by Sir Ni.Ir-d
Laurier. which in the ordinary course
would relieve the department from the
obligation 10 maintain silence. Tney take
the view. however. that the penoeacy OF
the negotiations with Great Britain on the
subject make IL ina1visable at this tine
10 make public the record of the proceed
iHgs of the joint commission.
Ii can be stated. however. on authority.
tha. there Is no disposition 20 question
the accuracy of the statement made by
Sir wilfrid yesterday as TO the position
respecting arbitration OF the Canadians.
But this Is subject 70 the important quail
ncation that the statement referred 70 a
state O. affairs existing when the commits
SION was In session and a. It's termination
and not later Since then there have been
negotiations directly between the British
government and the government of the
United States. conducted of late through
Mr.. Choate and Lord Salisbury in Lon
don and of what has taken place there
Sir Wilf.id Laur.er's statement takes no
account
II Is reiterated I'm the mos; earnes, man
ner by the officials here that in these ne
goiiations Canada stood In the way OF an
agreement which the British authorities
as emineniiy fair and jusi. Respecting
the Canadian demand for possession of
Pyramid harhor on Lynn canal, pending
the decision of an arbitrator or some ether
competent authority that her title Is good.
II can be stated that the position Of our
government remains unchanged. 1t does
not recognize any parallel between the
Canadian claim To Pyramid harhar and
our own claim 10 Dyea and Skagway. OF
the latter we have been in undisputed pos
session for many years: in fact our title
has never been before question Canada
on the other hand never asserted any
claim to Pyramid harbor until lately ana
never has been In even temporary posses
sion so that the legal aspects of the claim
are regarded as entirely different.
The proposition from the British side 10
deed a neutral strip of country leading
from the head of Lynn canal back across
the mountains to the Canadian line has
not commended itself to the state DEPART
ment which fails to see why the Uri.ei
States should voluntarily surrender Also

Our Debt to France.

Robert ]. Thompson, secretary of
the Lafayette memorial commission
says he thinks the people of the United
States are making a rash move to con-
dem the French nation for the
Dreyfus verdict.
he people of the United States owe
a debt of gratitude to France" he
said, "and we should show moderation
and sympathy at this time instead of
violence. The people of America must
not forget that as a nation, independ-
ent of European influence and dicta-
dion, we owe all practically to France.
The treatment of France by the
United States has, under the circum-
stances which have existed, been, to
say the least, most ungrateful and
shameful. Do our people know that
beside giving us Lafayette, France al
so gave us ROchambeau, with thous-
ands of the best trained soldiers in
Europe; she gave us De Grasse and
Count d'Estang, with fleets of splen-
did warships, and she expended in her
cooperation win General Washington
in the war of independence, $2SO,OOO,-
900. She loaned and gave us outright
as gifts of friendship many millions
of dollars, and she did these things at
a time when not to have done them
would have meant the absence of the
republic of the United States on the
Western continent, in my opinion,
forever.
The United States, as a government
and the people individually owe to
France more than can ever be paid.
Therefore moderation just now would
be the part of friendship rather than
wild and useless attempt to interfere
in her most sacred internal affairs.
France as a nation, should have
our sympathy instead of our hatred.
1t is country where the unexpected
always happens, and we may hope FOR
a satisfactory adjustment of the Drey-
fus affair before the matter is closed.

The Bull Dog.

A real lover of dogs Is apt to have
prefeNnte as to type, but he is also
apt be fond of all good dogs, no
mau.er what the class of their special
purposes lin the world The dog lover
is very likely in this regard the truly
gaIlant mamie may prefer blue eyes
and fair hair to the opposite, but his
heart goes out to all women who are
good, because they are women and be-
cause they are good To the uninitlat-
ed an af1ec ION for a bull dog seems
perversion of taste, for the bull dog
is not symmetrical is not graceful and
sometimes appears to lac lSlntelligence.
About his intelligence, however, there
is more than one opinion about his
affection and loyalty there can be no
doubt whatever. His affection knows
neither hesitation, wavering nor
change, and he is a rare comrade He
is not noisy, he is not nervous, and he
is not given to demonstration. He fills
the requirements that Emerson formu-
lated as to perfect companionship He
does not need to speak to show his
sympathy. He can tell you what he
wishes to say with his little eyes and
he can be elegant with the waggling
Of his stump tail. This kind of a
companion is not such as commends
himself to all persons, for there are
those in the world who like chatterers
ami consider the unending small-talk
of the drawing room the highest and
most pleasurable expression of human
wit. For such as these the bull dog
is not likely to have the greatest at
fractions. Let us have a frolicsome
dog or kitten that will chase its tail
But the bull dog is a good companion
for quiet man of a thoughtful and
philosophical cast of mind The bull
dog will not disturb his musings, the
bull dog will not say the wrong thing
at time when silence is precious, for
the bull dog rarely speaks. When he
does he is short, though not sharp in
his communications, and is very much
to the urpose.-Criterion
