London, Sept. 9.-Were it not for tn
extreme friendliness now existing be
tween the United States and Grea
Britain, the Alaskan boundary disput,
would be regarded here as a. seriou:
complication, and the rumors of its
tentative settlement are hailed witt
oeilsht. AS 1t is, the public takes little
interest In the matter, the general idea
being 10 get it settled as soon as pos
sible without hurting Canada's pride.
A representative here OF the -Asse-
clated Press learns from good source
mat the tentative agreement provides
Tor Canada having free ports only at
Lynn canal and Pyramid Harbor, but
without entailing any recognition by
the Americans Of sovereignty. This is
to be in force until the boundary line
is adjusted, the United States govern
ment adhering to its claim that it must
be defimited from mountain top to
mountain top.
1T return for this free port conces-
sion, the United States will, it is said,
gain additional privileges for New Eng
land fishermen. including the bank
rights so stoutly advocated by Con-
gresham Dingley.
The informant of the Associated Press
posals would all be submitted to the
Canadian minister of marine and fish
cries. Sir l.. H. Davies, upon his arrival
mere, and that the foreign office hopes
he viii consider them favorably Until
he accepts, it was said, the terms emu
merated have'no more significance than
the friendly suggestions of any third
party anxious to settle a dispute.
Anti-expansion Movement.
Today, commenting on the anti-ex-
pansion movement in the United States
says: If this means that the country
at large disapproyes of extension, the
Democrats will come in at the next
election and drop the white mans bur-
den like a hot coal, and with it the
Anglo-Saxon alliance. The British
lions tail will be twisted again, and
Europe will laugh"
The strike of seamen and steamer
hremen which began last Sunday con-
tinues, but as yet it has small effect
on the shipping interests
The Church Of England fight contin-
ues TO attract attention. Most of the
bishops, including the bishop of Lin
coin, the Right Rev. Edward King. who
was tried several years ago for ritual |
is1c practices, have issued letters to |
their various dioceses, ordering obey |
ance of the archbishop's decision. Many |
of the clergy, however. frankly an
nounce they will not do So
A weekly church paper compares the |
church trouble with the Indian mutiny,
which, it says, will be remembered,
arose chiefly over the trivial smearing
of grease on the cartridges served out
to the Sepoys.
Beresford to Have a Partner.
T. p. O'Connor's NJ. A P. (s.Mainly
About People'') says that although
Lord William Beresford had every
of being second on the list.of
winning race horse owners at the end
of the season, it is now doubtful
whether he will be ahead as he always
has been ready to lay great odds on his
American horses. Referring to the new
partner whom Lord Beresford took
upon the retirement of Pierre Lorillard, /
nj. A. F hints that it may be the Ouch
ess of Marlborough, incognito.
Queen Victoria. it is reported, has
sent to Emperor William a priced copy
Of her family tree, showing King David {

the queen is that she is descended from !
the psalmist through Zedekiahs eldest
daughter, and it is said that Emperor
conviction of his divine
origin is greatly due to his grandmoth- :
arc foible.
