Joint High Commission Adjourns
Until August ta Further study
Some VcxeA Questions.

Washington, Feb 21.-The American
Canadian joint high commission, after
session Monday, adjourned to meet
at Quebec August 2, unless the chair
man of the respective commissions
agree upon another date. The commits
sion first began its labors nearly six
months ago in Canada, and has, with
the exception of probably n month,
been earnestly at work, endeavoring to
accomplish the object for which it was
appointed-an agreement with a view
to the formulation of a treaty covering
the many perpleXing questions of diff
ferences affecting the business inter-
ests of the United States and Canada
existing between them.
There were several reasons which
prompted the action taken Monday.
From statement made public with the
sanction of the two commissions it ap-
pears there were serious differences of
opinion between them regarding the inn
portant matter of the delimitation of
the Alaskan boundary, the Canadians isl
this commission being anxious to OBJ
tain a seaport on the Lynn canal. so that
its shippers would not be subjected to
the petty annoyances which they as
serted they experienced at the hands
of United States officials. Then the
time, for the meeting of the Canadian
parliament, at which the presence of
members of the commission from that
country is desired, is overdue, and the
latter are anxious to return as soon as
possible. 1t also became apparent that
there was little likelihood of the possi-
bility of the ratification by the United
States senate at its present session of
any treaty which might be framed,
which Also probably figured in the de-
cision to adjourn.
A dozen important questions were re-
| ferred to the commission for its consid-
Grafton, and the commissioners assert
that substantial progress in the settle
ment and adjustment of many of the
questions has been made. Probably
those which have given the most serious
trouble and proved a stumbling block
to final agreement on all have been
the two relating to lumber and the Alas
kan boundary question, on both OF
which the Sanadians have demanded
concessions which the Americans felt
it would be prejudicial to the best in
terests of the United States to grant

from the commissioners on this side
of the boundary line.
Senator Fairbanks, the chairman o,
the American commission, has repeat
edly stated there was no basis for tn,
reports of rupture in the relations o
the two bodies, and Monday night sup
plemented this by saying that the,

THE TROUBLE IN SAMOA.
rrcsiden' Considering Suitable Msn For
the Commissioner A German on
cial In Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The president
and Secretary Hay have been giving
consideration TO the selection Of repre-.
sentative Of the United States govern
ment on the Samoan commission. He
will not be member of either the sem
ate or house Of representatives. accord.
ing to present lights. 1t is probable that
the effort will be to find some person
thoroughly familiar with the issue likely
to be presented In the settlement of this
Samoan dispute.
1t was conceived here that all that
was needful for reforming conditions
there and placing them ON a basis that
will insure a tranquil and satisfactory
| administration of affairs may be secured
| through the adoption of some additional
| articles to the Berlin convention, not
even affecting the general principle of
the tripartite control.
Many cable dispatches passed between
| Washington and London in regard to
the Samoan settlement. The main
point is on determining exactly the ex.
tent of authority which the high com
mission is to possess, Lord Salisbury de
string all uncertain points first cleared
up and an exact definition of what the
commission is to do before committing
Great Britain. 1t was said the British
government was as ready as the United
States or Germany to accept the general
| principle of commissioners, but it
| wanted to know in advance as to the
| power OF the commission.
The indications are that the British
authorities will give their adherence to
the agreement within day or two, but
it is stated that there is still chance,
although a very slight one, that the
agreement may not be concluded.
| DIR. Solf, the newly appointed presi.
dent Of the municipality of Samoa, ar.
rived here. He came at the request of
the German ambassador, DR.. Won Hol-
| leben, to talk over Samoan affairs, and
was presented to Secretary Hay. He
created an agreeable impression.
Ii was arranged that he should re.
main III Washington for Il few days and
during that time he will have an oppor.
tunity to confer with the state depart
| ment officials and relative to Samoan
affairs. It is hoped that misunderstand-
ings may be avoided in the future if a
perfect comprehension is reached in ad-
vance of DR.. Solf's departure. As he
had already visited the British author
tiles in London, the way appeared to be
now cleared for such an understanding.
1t was said here that Admiral Kautz
was fully sustained by the navy depart.
ment in every measure that he had
| taken. 1t was assumed that the admiral
acted strictly in accordance with his
/ instructions.
