ALASKA BOUNDARY.
Little Likelihood Of Hostile Clash
Over the Question

WASHINGTON, July S-Mr. Choate
has not communicated the State De-
partment the result of any representa-
lions he has made to Lord Salisbury
in London respecting the modus vi
vendi, under his instructions of yester-
day.
Although it is believed that it is al
most hopeless to expect a successful
outcome of the direct negotiations
with London, it is not regarded here
as inevitable that a hostile clash will
follow the failure to secure a "modus. !"
Confidence. is expressed in the suffi-
cheney of the present arrangements,
backed by the sound common sense of
the officials of the United Staes and
Canada, now in the disputed territory
lin Alaska, to prevent a collision. AS
a matter of fact, the United States and
Great Britain have been actually
working under a tacitly understood
modus vivendi:
The existence of an understanding on
this point is manifested in the ready
acquiescence by the United States
Government in the suggestion by the
British Foreign Office that it might
tend to prevent trouble if the War
Department abandoned it's plan of
sending a garrison of troops to Py-
ramid Harbor. On it's part the British
Government showed its disposition to
maintain the status quo by quietly but
firmly restraining the Canadian Gus
toms officers and mounted police, who
were greatly harassing American min
ers passing over the trails. If this
spirit continues to be exhibited on both
sides there is little reason to fear that
the failure of the London negotiations
will result in anything more serious
than another long and disagreeable
postponement of the final settlement.
The British Embassy is similarly
without advices from the Foreign Office
as to the direction of the recent ne
gotiations, and the officials here posi-
lively decline to discuss any phase of
the Alaskan question.
