THE ALASKAN BoRp R.
A Modus vtvendi wanted Pending "
settlement.

Washington March 20.-Ihe British
ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote. con
ferred today with Secretary Hay In refer
epce, 1t Is understood, to the modus
yiyendi to be observed along the Alaska
border In order to obviate the possibility
OF clash pending the tina! determination
of the border. The need of this has been
emphasized within the last few days by
reports of battle between the canadian
and American prospectors on the Porou'
pine liver. These reports have caused
con siderable uneasiness In official circles
in London and efforts have been made to
learn the facts The reports have served
10 direct the attent ion of the officials to
the need of effecting border arrangement.
The preliminary move In this direction
was made as soon as the Anglo merloan
com mission adjourned Without settling
the border question. Sir Julian then sug-
gested that IA temporary arrangement be
made. This would maintain the statu
quo, each side making no further advance
pending a final agreement On the bound l.
ary A Temporary line probably would be
run by the two governments. This would
not affect permanent interests but wo Id
serve as q legal barrier between the law
less fortune hunters in that locality. The
plan Is favorably received on both sides
and Is likely to be carried into encot,
although no agreement has been entered
thus far.

There are scores of people IN the United
States who would give much money 70
own that piece of redwood which has been

came to ldrs. Dunn through her father,
John Struthers, who gave the United
States the marble sarcophagus in which
Washington body now rests. Mr.. Struth-
ers was well known as dealer in marble.
His offer of marble sarcophagus was
made to John Lawrence, the only surviv-
ing member u Washington family, who
replied that Mr.. Struthers had rendered
the gift with so much delicacy and tact
that it could not be refused.
When the coffin containing Washing
toms remains was being removed to its
new resting place in Mount Vernon, a
piece of it was Clipped off From small
portion the breastpin was made. 1t is
itself In the shape Of a coffin-a grewsome
suggestion for an ornament, but it has
never been worn. 1t rests in its little
case, side by side with the trowel which
was used to cement the sarcophagus. -
