Probable That tho Modus Vivcndi
VIII BE Signed To-day.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Juno s.
When the state department closed for
the day It was with the expectation
on the part Of the officials that the mo-
dns viveudi which has been under ne
gotiation in London would be COM
pleted and signed Tomorrow. The Sig
nature probably will take place In Lon
don between Ambassador Choate md
Lord Salisbury unless the programme
Is changed over night.
Assuming that the agreement is on
the exact lines of the Instructions sent,
the modus will fix the provisional
boundary line between Alaska and
Canada at three points near the head
of the Lynn Canal. These will be sur-
ficfent, Il IS expected. to prevent any
further conflicts. These points are as
follows:
On the White Pass at the old Cana
dian custom house In the pnss: on tho
Chicott Pass, llkewise Mt the Canadian
custom house which has existed for the
past eighteen months; on the Dalton
trail Just above the Indian village OF
Kluckwan. r-
The first two points were easily fixed;
the hitch OF moment has been over the
location OF the divisional point on the
Dalton trail. The point named Is ut
the head Of canoe navigation and If
teen miles above tidcwater, which the
Canadians sought so strenuously to
reach. The modus provides only for
n temporary delimitntion. but there Is
good reason to believe that the lines
1t will establish in the end will be nc-
ccp,ed by both parties ns the best pos

] LONDON, June ESPECIAL dispatches
from Manila to-day say 1t Is reported
here this morning that Agulnaldo dis
solved the Filipino congress, and has
proclaimed himself dictator.

here are In doubt as TO whether Aguin-
aldo, In declaring his dictatorship, Is
animated by u desire to rid himself of
his refractory generals. Luna and Pillar,
or whether he aims to consolidate In his
own hands The power TO make terms of
peace. 1t Is known from the reports
of President Schurman. Of the American
Philippine commission. that these two
generals owe only faint allegiance to
Aguinaldo. and their attitude towards
the peace negotiation has made these
negotiations Intellectual, the civilian
members on the Filipino side OF the
Joint commission being completely over

clement controlled by the generals 1t
Is believed here that II Aguinaldo can
bend these two men to his will and
assume supreme control he will at once
make terms for peace. being able to
secure better terms for himself than
he could otherwise.

After pointing out that Nothing
