The ALASKAN BOUNDARY,
oncomprOmfsinK Elements Are OBJ
st0Clea to Agreement.

SAS" 10 agreement
While gratifying progress has been made
toward the arrangement of modus vivendi
temporarily defining the boundary line be-
tween Alaska and British Columbia and
the officials concerned in the negotiations
are hopeful that success will attend their
efforts, 1t can be stated that at this moment
the negotiations are still running and there
fore 1t cannot be said that an arrangement
has been reached. 1t is still possible for
the whole scheme to be disarranged and
perhaps fatally, owing to the injection at
this point, which may be regarded as crit
teal, OF some such counter proposal as
wrecked the former modus thought to have
been arranged by Mr. Choate. our ambas
sador at London, and Lord Salisbury.
The foreign officials at London are deeply
immersed In a solution of the South African
question. which delays final action on the
modus, but 1t is still expected that in the
absence of interference a satisfactory
rangement may be had in short time.
Considering the fact that the public is
oncially ignorant of the lines upon which
the negotiations are proceeding, the State
department officials are surprised at the
hasty criticism that is being directed upon
them In this connection. They insist that
while IT Is not within reason to expect that
any arrangement, fair and satisfactory to
both parties to the negotiations, shall be
entirely one-sided, still 1t viii be found
when the result is made public that the
United States has secured majority of
the points in contention. and that the oppo-
sition has made concessions of the greatest
Importance in order to prevent border diff
culties
But one Of the difficulties of the situation
Is that the department Is precluded from
making that fact officially known, out Of
regard for the obstacles that would prob
ably be placed in the way OF the conclusion
of the agreement by that element In Canada
which Is opposed to any sacrifice even II
the result should be serious trouble between
the United States and Great Britain. Mean
while. In our own country the department
Is confronted by an element as .uncom-
promising, one which declares against any
concessions. even to prevent a hostile. clash.
and in knowledge that the arrangement
would be of the most temporary character,
down any course that will meet with unani-
nous approval

QUAY TO RETAIN CONTROL
Ex-Representative Hicks Upon the Condi-
tions in Pennsylvania.
People Support the Administration's .
Attitude on the Philippine
Question.

Ex-Representative Hicks of PENNSYLVANIA
who is i'll Washington looking after the AL
toona public building matter before the
departments, expresses complete confidence
in the continued control of PENNSYLVANIA
affairs by Mr.. Quay. Speaking of the out
look for the election In Pennsylvania this
fall. he said that he expected to see the re-
publican candidate elected by an unusual
majority for an off year.
while there are some factional differ
ences in the republican party" he said,
"the war record of Barnett, who is the
candidate for state treasurer, will more
than counteract any disaffection. The two
factions in the republican party are pre-
pairing more particularly for a hard fight
over the legislature next year. The Wana-
maker people are going to try to down
Quay. but when 1t comes to counting votes
the Wanamaker faction is not very large
and there Is no doubt that Quay will con-
tinue In control of affairs.
Sure of a Legislative Majority.
"Our people-the Quay people-are sure
to have a majority Of the legislature next
year. The opposition may be able to eff
feet combination to bring about a dead
lock. as they did in the last legislature,
but l don't believe they cen. Quay is go
ing to be seated in the Senate under the
governors appointment when Congress
meets. We have perfect confidence in this
l myself talked with number Of influen-
tial members of the Senate and they as
sure me that Notwithstanding the vote of
the Senate in other cases. a majority will
vote TO seat Mr.. Quay. If this is done it
will discourage the Wanamaker people in
any effort to deadlock the next legisla-
ture, since Mr.. Quay would remain in the
Senate by appointment just the same
support the Administrations
The condition of affairs in PENNSYLVANIA
ct this time, he said, was very good. While
some people thought it unfortunate that
there was a war in the Philippines, the
people holding this sentiment for the most
part agree that there was no alternative
now but to fight it out and put down the
rebellion. leaving the future OF the islands
TO be settled hereafter, and the people gen
orally very earnestly supported the adminis-
tration. a majority of the people of Penn
sylvana, he said, believed that the Islands
should be held permanently. With respect
to domestic politics. he said that the peo-
pie were more than satisfied with the ad-
ministration. Every man desiring work
could get 1t, wages were advancing and the
general prosperity of the working people
was shown in the rentals. there being a
demand for houses everywhere and very
few houses being vacant. Business activity
and good pay, he said, brought content
ment and the administration of Mr.. Nc
klnley was universally applauded.

to His Superior at COburE.
Mr.. o. ]. D. Hughes. United States con-
sui at Coburg, Germany. has been instruct
ed by the Secretary of State to investigate
the charges made by Mr.. Charles E. Ben
tnerm. SO far as they relate to the official
conduct Of Mr.. Alvin Florschutz, the vice
and deputy consul at Coburg Mr. Ben
theim alleged in substance that Consul
Florschutz used his official position to as
sist In the secret transmission of informa-
ton regarding the French military service
to the headquarters Of the German gen.
eral staff at Berlin. A particular allega-
ton was that considerable of this corre-
spondence was, through the connivance of
Mr.. FlorschutZ, forwarded through the
mails in official envelopes of the United
States consulate at Sonneburg, Germany,
while Mr.. FlorSchutz was United States
consul at that place. Consul Hughes has
been instructed to forward any statement
that Mr.. Florschutz desires to make in the
matter. As has been already stated Con-
sui Florschutz stands high in the estirsa-
ton of his official superiors, and the allega-
ttons against him are not credited at the

THE DIXIE TO BE CONVERTED.
Will Be Made a Training Ship for
Landsmen in the Navy.

VIII be Maue framing snip for
Landsmen in the Navy.
The auxiliary cruiser Dixie is to be con-
verted into a training ship for the practi-
cal education of landsmen in the navy. 1t
Is estimated that it will cost about $50, 600
to put her in condition for such use, but
those who favor the plan say that the re-
suits to be obtained will justify the ex-
pense. There are many naval officers, how
ever, who feel that the present system of
naval training of enlisted men is an eX-
pensive luxury. An officer who takes that
view says that the government could put
landsfnan through Harvard University
for the same money that it expends to pre-
pare him for service in the navy. He added
that the worst feature of the whole mat
ter Is that, in spite of the vast sums of
money spent on their education only about
per cent of the naval apprentices remain
In the navy. preferrtng to employ their
knowledge in better-paying civil pursuits

Tor all that came in, and the demand was
sufficient to take care OF many times as

thusiastic enough and buoyant, but the
want of hogs deprensed the trade and
as a result 1t was a duh and draggy day
with little to snthuse the buyers and trad
ers. The cattle market was a little better,
but the hog end Of the trading was very
light and not enough by considerable TO

all suffered q decline and landed on the
close with losses. There was nothing of

readily at as good figures as were given
