TO MEET OR NOT
Return Of Fairbanks Brings the
Future of the High Com
mission
To a Decisive Issue as Regards
the Boundary and Other
Questions.
Rapid Exchange of Dispatches
Between London. Ottawa
and Washington.

WAsHIHGToS. July 2l.-The return
from Alaska Of Senator Fairbanks. Aeaa
of the American section Of the Anglo
American commission. has brought
into a decisive issue the future Of this
body. not only as il relates TO the Alas
kan boundary, but the entire scope o:
its work. Following extended confer
ences between Mr.. Fairbanks and Sec.
rotary Hay. as we'll as with the presl-
dent, dispatche, have been exchanged
between the British and Canadian au.
thorities and those in Washington.
which are serving to clear up the doubt
and confusion which has thus far ex-
listed. Already it is assured. practically
beyond doubt. tina. the committee
will not resume its sessions at Quebec
on the "a Of next month, to which time
it had adjourned. but that its reas.
SEN bling will De in the late fall if
the negotiations reach such a stage that
a continuance Of the work Of the com.
mission seems desirable. Thus far the
boundary question appears to be the
great stumbling block. This lack Of
agreement has continued SO long that
those in a position to Judge the situa-
ton intelligently. while they have not
despaired Of an adjustment. frankly
admit that the negotiations continue tc
be in a critical srate. When seen. Mr..
Fairbanks would not discuss the future
of the commission. or any Of the inter.
national phases of the subject.
The senator had another conference
with Secretary Hay and also called at
the war department. 1t is understood
that a further talk on the Alaskan cues
ton will occur at the White House and
that as a result of this and the numer.
u exchanges which are occurring
with the British and Canadian parties
In interest a definite conclusion on mos,
OF the points involved will be reached
VERY soon.

Hitchcock has wired Captain Mercer to
suspend the order to expel AL settlers
upon the Cass Lake townSite until Aug.

John Howard the dynamite thief,

sensational report being started a few

had been made to blow up the Florence

conclusion of his trial in the police court

jury trial, but was sorry he got it
when the six gentlemen brought in a
| verdict of guilty and fixed his sentence
at six months in the county Jail. In the
trial of the case the story of how the
report regarding the Florence started,
was told in the evidence
Chief Mulholland and Detective Muir

with Howard till he assured him the
powder had not been stolen. Fogarty.

Howard got hopelessly tangled up in

defendant six months.
