quarters that Great Britain, flushed with
success in forming an alliance with Ger
many and fOrgetful of the recent past,
proposes to drive a hard bargain with
this country relative TO the Alaskan
boundary, and intends to complicate the
matter, if possible, by the injection of
the ClaytonBulwer treaty into the con-
troverSY
In other words. Great Britain. It is be-
lieved here, intends TO fguratlvely seize
Pyramid Harbor and Nicaragua Canal
with neither of which sire has any leFiti-
mate concern. and play off one against
the other. She win permit us to build
and own the Nicaragua Canal if we give
her Pyramid Harbor in Alaska. at the
head of the Lynn Canal. or she may for
go Pyramid Harbor if she has equal in
terest in the prospective Nicarag1Ian
Canal.
Her intentions have become apparent
only within the last few days. The day
after Lord Salisbury made his glowing
speech at the Lord Mayors banquet in
London as to the friendliness between
this country and Great Britain, the
British ambassador, Lord Pauncefote,
called at the State Department and re-
vived the Alaskan boundary dispute.
About the time the apologetic British
peer was reluctantly presenting to the
State Department Canadas insistence
for a permanent settlement of the
Alaskan boundary on her own conditions.
ambassador Choate, at Edinburgh, was
eloquently responding to Lord Sails
bury's kindly sentiments in sentiments
still more kindly.

GREAT BRITAIN BACKS
CANADA'S DEMANDS
Disposed to Drive Hard Bargain in
the Settlement of the Alaskan
Dispute

NEW YORK, Nov. 12-The Journals
Washington correspondent says: This
week will demonstrate the degree of
actual friendship felt by Great Britain
for the United States. Lord Pauncefote
intends to press for settlement the
Alaskan boundary question by arbitra-
ton, and the offensive feature of his in
sistence lies in the fact that Great Britain
stands behind Canada's demand for ces-
sion of Pyramid Harbor or some other
American tidewater port to Canada.
The amiability of the American-British
understanding" is not in a superlative
degree just now, and the State Depart
ment if 1t expressed its sentiments,
would declare our English cousin is act
ing in a manner so singular that it can
not be described as wholly ingenious.
Grave suspicion is entertained in official
