LOOKS LIKE A SETTLEMENT
Good Progress Made on Alaskan Boundary
Dispute
CHAMBERLAIN THE POTENT FACTOR
Tact of the Colonial Secretary Largely
Responsible for Keeping the
Canadians in Line and Pre-
venting Rupture.

LONDON, June IA high authority OF
the colonial Office has informed represen-
tatve Of the Associated press that the nego-
tiations with reference to the Alaska ques-
tion are in the rosiest possible condition.
After the interview which the United
States ambassador Mr.. Joseph II. Choate,
had yesterday with the marquis of Sails
bury at the foreign office, the lines OF a
prospective settlement and for carrying on
the discussion in the high commission were
formally submitted by the secretary Of state
for the colonies, MIR. Joseph Chamberlain,
who, throughout, has had most potent intu-
ence with the Canadian side. Every ar
rangernent in the negotiations here between
Mr. Choate. Lord Salisbury and Sir Julian
Pauncefote has gone through him and the
prospective settlements, in a great degree,
may be considered triumph for Mr.. Cham
berlain's tact and perseverance.
Deciding on Temporary Boundary.
WASHINGTON, June 7.-Nothing is
known here officially as to what progre- s
has been made in the negotiations at London
toward reassembing the Canadian Joint
High commission. 1t is known that the ar
rangement of a modus vivend to govern
the relations OF the United States and
Canada on the Alaskan boundary is receiv-
ing great deal OF Ambassador Choate's at
tention. The baes for the temporary de-
limitation of the boundary in the neighbor-
hood of the passes leading into the Klon-
dixie from the Lynn canal will, IL the pres
ent effort succeeds. be on White Pass on the
east and on Chilkoot pass in the middle, at
the points where the Canadian customs
houses were established about eighteen
months ago.
On the Dalton trail the point has not yet
been selected and as the pressure toward
| the sea on this westernmost trail by the
Canadians has been more severe than at any
other point, very naturally great difficulty
| is experienced in reconciling the conflicting
claims to jurisdiction. While Pyramid har-
| Dor is not insisted upon at this juncture by
the Canadians as part of the temporary ar
| rangement, they are desirous of getting as
near to tidewater as possible and their claim
in this quarter includes the important In
dian village of Klukwan, a town that has
long been under the protection of the United
States and which our government is indis-
posed to surrender, even temporarily into
| Canadian control. II this difficulty can be
solved and divisional point located on the
Dalton trail there is no doubt that modus
will be the outcome. With this Alaskan
boundary controversy removed from the
subjects for consideration by the Joint
J High commission there is every reason tc
| believe that the treaty can be framed salts
factory to both parties in time for sub
mission to the senate at its next session.
