The Alaskan Boundary.

Washington, October 20.--Secretary
Hay has received notice from the Brit
ish embassy of the approval by the
British foreign Office of his latest prop
osition relative to the Alaska modus
vivendi. Formal confirmation Of the ar
rangement will take place to-day.
The divisional line on the west by the
Dalton trail is placed at twenty-five
and one-quarter miles above Pyramid
harbor, which is regarded under the
treaty as tidewater mark, SO the Cana
dians are not allowed to reach any point
on the Lynn canal; moreover, there is
no permission given for a free port or
even for free transfer across Amer
ican territory Of Canadian goods ex-
cept miners belongings. These matters
may figure later when 1t comes to per-
manent boundary line, but they are not
touched upon in this modus vivendi,
which follows precedent established
by Secretary Evarts in 1878 in agreeing
upon a temporary boundary on the
Stikine river In Alaska by exchange Of
notes. The line on Chilkat river IL twen-
ty-two and one quarter miles from the
head of navigation ON the Chilkat in
let of the Lynn canal, and on the Klehi-
nj river twelve miles further inland,
and the whole valley Of the Porcupine Ia
included within the American lines. As
to the White and Chilkoot passes, the
line is fixed at the summit or water
shed, being points which for some time
past have been observed by the GUS
toms authorities of the two countries.
