ecutive Committee opposed the pro-
posed amendment. The debate over the
Rhodes amendment lasted for over half
an hour. Finally the question was put
to the convention. and Mr.. Rhodes
ideas We're not accepted by the conven-
ton.
A rising vote was taken and only four
delegates voted for the adoption of the
plan.
The Hon. Frank w. Tracy of Illinois,
the Chairman, presented the report of
the Committee on Uniform Laws. 1t
was in part as follows:
The committee has had many sug-
gestions as to laws it should favor. The
Importance of the work it engaged in
in trying to enact the uniform laws for
negotiable instruments in the different
States seemed to be so great that it
turned down all these suggestions,
though many of them were very valu-
able. Our first duty is to get the same
uniformity in our credit circulation as
we have in our currency. There should
be no State lines in rules regarding
commercial paper
1t was decided to defer the presenta-
ton of the reports of the education,
credits, fidelity. insurance and ware
house receipts and bills of lading COM
mittees until tomorrow. The conven-
ton then adjourned until tomorrow at

ALASKA BOUNDARY.
A Practical Agreement Upon a
Temporary Line.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Great Brit
ain and the United States have practi-
cally agreed upon temporary line de-
fining the boundary between Alaska
and Canada. Negotiations now in pro-
gress relate only to minor questions
growing out of the definition of the
line.
One of the unsettled questions relates
to the status of mines owned by Arneri-
cans which may lap over into terri
tory which has been under the control
of Canada. Representative of Ameri-
can mine owners say that it would be
unfair to American miners if no pro-
vision should be made for them in case
their property should lie half on the
American and half on the Canadian
side of the line
The prospective settlement OF the
boundary question is due TO the con-
cessionS made not only by Great Brit
ain but by this Government also.
Secretary Hay has won in the mat
ter of excluding Canada from the Lynn
Canal, but port of entry in the canal
viii! be given should the final settlement
fail to give Canada a permanent har-
Dor. The Secretary has also been sue
cessful in keeping the British to the
north of the village of kluckWan
though, it is said, he has agreed to the
placing of the line just above the viii
lage instead of four miles beyond as
originally demanded.

James G. Fair, must pay the expenses
of her suit against the Fair estate out
of her own pocket.
Some time ago Mrs. Craven filed an
action against the estate to recover
her share as widow. This suit required
a publication of notice to devisees un-
der the will and all heirs to the estate.
Owing to the cost of this advertising,
which would reach nearly $780, Mrs.
Craven applied to the Probate Court
for an order directing that the expense
of the advertising be paid by the es-
tate, and not herself. Judge Trout
denied the petition. on the ground that
as Mrs. Craven had instituted suit
against the estate. it would be absurd
to expect the estate to be taxed for
the costs of an action to which it is
an unwilling party.
This decision now forces Mrs Craven
to provide her own ammunition in the
battle she is waging against the dead
Senator's millions.
