Acuteness of the Alaska Boundary
Situation Relieved.
CHIEF NEGOTIATORS TO GO AWAY
They Feel That They Can Take
Their Summer Outings.
CANNOT IGNORE CANADA

The acuteness of the Alaskan boundary
situation has been much relieved as re-
suit of the conferences yesterday between
Secretary Hay and the British charge, Mr..
Tower, so much so that those who have
taken most active part in the negotiations
feel that they can leave the city for sum-
mer vacation. Mr.. Hay will go away within
a few days, and Mr.. Tower leaves tomorrow
night for Newport, where he will establish
the British embassy for the rest of the
summer. Mr.. Hay will probably be in New
England, SO that if there is need of personal
conferences they may be readily brought
about, although it is felt that the negotia-
tions have now got into a diplomatic chan
mel where they can easily proceed by cor
respondence.
Commission Cannot Meet August 2.
One of the effects of renewing direct nego-
tiations in Washington, after many weeks
of fruitless exchanges at London, is to
establish that the Anglo-American commits
sion cannot reassemble in Quebec August 2
While the subject was up in London there
was some chance of an agreement in time
to permit the commission to get together at
the appointed time, but since the negotia-
tionS came back to Washington, and are
still in an unsettled state, there is no pos
Sibllity of agreement in time to bring
the commission together on August 2. That
date is only week off, and as yet Great
Britain has not named a commissioner to
take the place of the late Lord Herschell,
nor is there any preparation for the meet
ing in August.
The purpose now Is to agree upon some
mode of settling the boundary question and
thus clear the way for a meeting of the
commission late in the fall.
The Strong Language at Ottawa.
The strong language used by Sir Wilfrid
Laurier and Sir Charles Tupper is confined
thus far to parliamentary debate and has
not found expression in the official nego-
tiations, which are proceeding with every
outward evidence of good will. Owing to
the important part Canada is taking in
the proceedings it is well to know that the
dealings of the Canadian premier are not
with Washington, but with Lord Mimic, the
governor general of Canada, who in turn
the imperial authorities shape the negotia
tlons with due regard to the colonial as
we'll as imperial interests
Cannot Ignore Canada.
In this connection some of the comment
of the American press as to the desirability
of having Great Britain proceed without
regard to the wishes of Canada is not
shared in official quarters here, as it is
recognized that Canada is the largest Brit
ish colony. and that any ignoring of in
terests which directly concern Canada
would in effect be repetition of the issue
which brought about the separation of the
United States from Britain. For this rea-
son it is recognized that the London au-
VINO are in official authority in Canada, as
that affords the only means by which the
colony can be represented in a negotiation
which directly concerns it.
