IHE ALASKAN BOUNDARY
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's Speech in the Dominion Parliament Attracts
 Great Interest.
PROF. GOLDWlA SMITH DtPRECATES II.
The St. James Gazette CounseIs n Quieter Style, as If War Should be Precipitated by Cnnada's Un- diplomatic yaporings, England Would Have to Do the Fighting.

New York, July 25.-A special to the Herald from Ottawa says:
 Sir Wilfrid Laurier's speech in the house of commons relative to the Alas kan boundary dispute with the United States has attracted great interest all over the Dominion, and it is every where regarded as of high significance and importance.
 My position in regard to this mat ter of the boundary dispute" said Sir Nilfrid, has not altered since l stated it on May 30. We are willing to refer the question 10 any commission of ar bitration that would be acceptable to any civilized nation or Set of honorable men.
 As to the order of reference, We maintain that the precedent set by the United States is one 10 which they should not, in fairness. object in this dispute, and that is the reference ill the Venezuelan boundary dispute.
 Cites Precedent.
 My views upon the present unsatis- factory state of negotiations looking toward submission of the question of arbitration were fully set forth in the remarks I made in the house of commons yesterday. l can not add anything to them, nor do l wish ta re1ract or qualify one word which l uttered upon that occasion.''

 Prof. Goodwin Smith. after reading Premier Laarier's speech upon the Alaskan boundary dispute. said:

 The Question Not Pressing
 The question is not pressing. Al that is immediately wanted is some joint arrangements for the preserva= ton of order in the disputed territory. After a little reflection and when every body has had time to cool, means will be found for q settlement of the ques- ton in an amieable way.
 = Have thought from the beginning that it would have been better if the Alaskan boundary question had not been mixed uP with other questions. such as the reciprocity question, with which it had nothing to do, Let the Alaskan boundary question be kept apart and let the conference on com mercial reciprocity proceed The two things. l repeat, have nothing to do with each other"
