Joint High Commissioners' Work Nearly
Completed-The skagway Question.
Chicago. Feb. 16.-A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
Great Britain and the United States
are to have closer bond of friendship.
The joint high commission which came
perilously near breaking up in a rup-
ture Monday, will probably conclude q
treaty, after all.
The United States commissioners,
instead of presenting an ultima alum az
the Canadians expected submitted a
memorandum conciliatory in tone Offer
ing certain rights at Skagway, and
suggesting further negotiation. The
possibility OF effecting an agreement
was also advanced by cabIegram re-
ceived by Baron HersheIl from Joseph
Chamberlain. England's minister for
the colonies, directing the Canadian
commission to exhaust every effort to
reach an amicable agreement. keeping
in mind the importance of promoting
the present cordial relations between
the United States and Great Britain.
The concession to Canada is the right
to maintain custom house at Skag-
way, but no territory will be coded at
that point.
