PREPARE A M0DuS vIVENBI
ALASKAN BOUNDARY MATTER
TO BE SETTLED AT LAST.
Agreement Which Will Live at the
Pleasure of Both Parties, No Date
For It's Expiration Being Fixed.

Washington. Oct. 17-Immediately
upon Secretary Hays return today
preparations began at the state depart
ment for the completion of the modus
viyendi relative to the Alaskan boun-
dairy. General Foster was hard at work
upon the details of the moduS and
the expectation vas that in the course
of day or two the agreement would
be in effect.
The negotiations of late have been en-
tirely in the hands of Secretary Hay
and Mr. Tower, the British charge
here. 1t has not been determined even
yet whether the agreement defining the
boundary temporarily shall take the
form of a document signed by both
parties, or be merely d series of notes,
but in either case it will be just as
effective as a regular nlodus viyendi.
binding both parties to observe the
boundary laid down temporarily.
State department officials are conf
dent that Americans will have no cause
to complain that their rights have been
abandoned when tine full scope of the
agreement is made known while on the
other hand the Canadians cannot claim
properly that they have lost any right
that they have enjoyed.
The purpose Of this particular effort
at a modus was TO regulate the bound
airy line on the west size Oh the Lynn
canal. The two parties had placed the
line of demarkation on Chilcoot and
White passes right at the top of the
passes and there has never been the
slightest friction at those points. But
because of the fact that the western
most of the three passes, namely, Chill
cat pass, was fully forty miles removed
from the sea the same rule could not be
applied by our representative without
great loss. Therefore, recourse has
been had to another expedition and the
line of deTnarkation will run along the
Klehana river and from point near
Kluckwan cross to mountain peak on
the southwest.
The effect will be to give the United
States control of the tide waters, the
British being fifteen miles above; to
maintain the American control of the
new and important Porcupine country
and lastly, to save the rights of all
American miners who are now on the
Canadian side of the line. 1t is under
stood the modu.s will live at the pleas
ure of both parties TO it; there will be
no date fixed for its expiration.

LORD R0sEBERY ON RAILROADS
American and English MethOds-An
American Aristocracy.

CLDnI0n IEMeS.J
The other day there was q c0rre-
spondence in the newspapers as to the
relative advantages Of the American
and British systems OF railway travel
ing. The correspondent of the Times
in New York wrote detailed and an
elaborate panegyrfc on the British
System, very much to the disadvant-
age of the American, and that was fol-
lowed in due time by a long letter
written by an American clergyman.
who did not sign his name. and hG
gave preference without any hesitation
at ali TO the American. 1t seemed
strange to him that those two eminent
people did not see that they were pro-
cecding on parallel straight lines which
were never destined to meet. The
American system of travel suited the
American passenger, and the British
system Of travel suited the British
traveller, and if the writer's had at

between our own and the American
railway system which would strike
every traveller there.
He used at one time Of his life to be
very often in America, and he used to
endeavor-fe would recognize it now
as a fruitless endeav0r--to carry out
the parallel between institutions Of
Great Britain and such institutions Of
the United States as had been in some
degree derived from those of Great
Britain. He was very hard put to 1t

they did not mind plutoerats but he
soon found that there was an aTfstoc-
racy in the United States an aristoe-

His. lcrdship said he believed that a
desire to get rid Of the word 'suzer-
airty" and the reality which II eN-
pressed had been the controlling desire
the dream of President Kruger's life.
II w3s for that that the president OF
the Transvaal had set UP the negotia-
tions Of 1884. and in order 10 get that
hateful word out Of the convention he
lad made considerable sacrifices. Mr..
Kruger had used oppression OF the Out
landers as a screw to obtain conces-
sion on the subject OF suzerainty.
i Quite agree" he remarked, that
the word sUzerainty is not necessary Tor
Great Rritain's present purpose Stu
ated as Great Britain is in South Al
RIGA toward the Transvsal and Out
Iandefs. she has a duty to fulfill, which
has nothing to do with any convention
or any question of suzerainty. This
word, however. being put into the
treaty, obtained an artificial value and
meaning which has prevented Great
Britain entirely abandoning II. If Great
Britain dropped it she would be in
timating that she also repudiated and
abandoned the ideas attached 10 it.
1T was largely due to the character
OF Mr.. Kruger and to the ideas pursued
by him that we have been led step by
step 10 the present moment, when we
are compelled TO decide whether the
future of South Africa viii be a grow

while there must be no doubt as to the

doubt that the white races in South

Many of the pens which have signed

years-fetched over $40; and a quill
that was a favorite with Charles Lamb
was bought for 10 guineas by an Ameri-
