1t was reported at the State Department
today that conference is to be held with
in the next few days between Secretary
Hay and Reginald Tower, the British
charge d'affaires, on the Alaskan proyis-
ional boundary line.
This convention was agreed upon some
time ago, and the Secretary of State is very
anxious to hear what position England will
take in the matter. The differences be-
tween the two countries are only Of minor
Importance. 1t Is said, and 1t is urged by
the United States that question of such
magnitude should be settled at the earliest
possible moment
As stated exclusively in The Evening
Times of Saturday. this country has made
but few concessions to Canada, and the
original terms of the Hay-Tower protocol
will not be materially altered The rumor
that the United States has yielded the pos
session of Pyramid Harbor to the Cana
dian Government permanently, is officially
denied in the published statement of Sat
urday afternoon.
The terms of the Hay-Tower protocol
were:
"First-That the line should be drawn
with White Summit and Chilkoot Pass as
the basis.
.'Second-That this line be extended so
that the village of Kluckwan should be
two miles on the American side. This was
concession to England in the respect that
Kluckwan had been placed by the original
Hay line about ten miles inside OF the line
on the American side
"Third-That from KIuckwan westward
the line should leave the whole of the
Kleheni River on the American side. This
was concession by Mr.. Tower, as the
Canadians insisted on diverting the line
southwest from Kluckwan go as to take in
a part Of that river and a large section
of the Porcupine district which always
was claimed as American territory an /
which is a valuable gold region.
"Fourth-That Canada should have the
privilege by lease for one year OF port,
not necessarily at Pyramid Harbor, on the
Lynn Canal
This country will maintain. 1t IS said,
that 1t shall retain sovereignty over the
whole of the Lynn Canal until it shall be
otherwise determined by the final court Of
arbitration The United States will fur
thermore insist that in case a. lease of part
be accepted as solution for the modus
vivendi. no improvements made shall be
considered as permanent.

WAR ON HIGHER CRITICISM.
Steps of Anti-Brisgs Men Toward &
New Church Union.

NEW YORK, Oct Steps are being
taken by the antiBriggs party of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in New York
to form an American church union to fight
higher criticism. The nucleus of the or
ganization will be the three score clergy
men who voted to overthrow the standing
committee of the diocese at the annual
convention in the Church of the Incarna-
tion last week.
"Our strength is nearly hundred mem
bers of the clergy" said Dr. Frank NJ
Clendennin yesterday. Had the great is
sue of higher criticism not been eonfound-
ed in the convention with other issues
we would have polled about a hundred
votes. Many of the clergy believed that
the standing committee, not Dr. Briggs,
was on trial, and they voted to sustain
the committee. although they were op-
posed to Dr. Briggs.

If the Courts Grant No Relief Prepar-

The officials of Ingleside Coursing Park

ing that further delay was useless they
met on Monday night to outline cam
paign which will be entered upon with

The legal representatives of the cours-

can then resume betting on the coursing.
The members of the club controlling the
sport at Ingleside Park are 10th to aban-
don that field as it is believed to possess
many advantages not to be obtained in
any of the available sites. If it is de-
cided to test the law a conclusion will be
reached shortly. match race will be
arranged between two dogs and bets will
be made on the outcome of their meeting.
The authorities will be notified of the
proposed infraction of the law and the
coursing men will then submit to arrest.
They will be taken out on writ of
habeas corpus and the case pressed to a
conclusion as speedily possible. Should
the court decide against them the officials
will then direct their energies toward the
upbuildng of a new park. There are
several available sites in San Mateo Coun-
ty near the county line which are suit
able for coursing. If no relief is to be
had in this county the coursing men Will
go elsewhere to resume the sport with
which they have been so long identified.
