commission. temporary free port

cussion OF the matter at the cab

known what reply Canada viii
make.
II must not be understood that
the United States Is making this
offer without the expectation OF
getting something In return. Can

privileges. must consent to the mo-
dus yivendi formerly proposed by
this government, In which the

thermore, she must agree to Let
the ultimate and final deiimination
OF the boundary go To an arbttra-
ton court. Of which probably the
czar Of Russia would be the head.
BY the grant q a free port Cam
ada is 10 be permitted tn land goods
intended for the Kiond!ke without
the payment OF duties TO this gov
ernment. and at the same time
have right TO assess upon such
goods such duties as she may see

Although Secretary Hay express
ed considerable hope today of
favorable outcome of the present
negotiations. well informed officials
not connected with the state de-
partmens assert that the contrary
is the case. Nothing. they say. has
been offered that Canada has not
