FEET THAT CANADA HAD Is

GAVE ENGLAND HER CHOICE

Must Stand by the Dominion or the
United States in the Alaskan
boundary Dispute-Statement Is
Flntly Denied in London and
Vivendi Has Been Agreed Upon.
WASHINGTON, June 19-Canada has
served notice on England that she must
choose between the United States and
her North American dominion in the set
tlement of the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton. 1t is stated the highest au-
thority that this statement represents
accurately the condition submitted to
England, which has delayed the negotia-
lions between Ambassador Choate and
Lord Salisbury on the provisional line Of
the modus vivendi.
This position of Canada Is known here
officially. The official to whom 1t is
known feels authorized in saying that
there are only two ways out of the diff
ficulty: First, that Canada will volun-
tarily recede from her demands for a
Pacific Underwater port; or second, that
the United States shall surrender the
principle laid down by Secretary Hay in
his tentative boundary line, that America
will not grant temporarily or otherwise
any port facilities to the Canadians.
That Canada will yield is considered
by the state department officials who
have discussed the new and acute phases
Of the situation as improbable.
1t Is asserted on authority that Eng
land has been forced to yield to Canada,
and that the United States and England
are wider apart today in the controversy
than since the adjournment of the high
Joint commission.
LONDON, June 19.-The officials of the
colonial office today were shown the dis
patch from Washington saying that Cam
ada had served notice on Great Britain
that she must choose between the United
State and her North American dominion
in settlement of the Alaskan boundary
dispute. They declared that the story is
wrong, both in substance and fact, and
that it can be further affirmed that a
moduS Vivendi was reached early last
week, as cabled to the Associated Press
at the time. The arrangement, which is
a verbal one, deals with the question on
broad lines. One two minor details
are still under discussion, and when they
are settled a final arrangement will be
drawn up. Generally speaking, it may
be said that the boundary agreed upon
follows the submits of the White and
Chilkoot passes
