ENGLAND WAITING TO
HEAR CANADA'S STORY
Wide Regret Over the Alaskan
Boundary Deadlock.
New Emphasis on the Advantages Of
AnglO-American Harmony.
Other Matters Talked About in the
British Capitai-secretnry HGy
and Alfred Austin.

London. May 27-There is no mistaldng
the note Of keen disappointment in the
English comments on the deadlock in the
Anglo-American negotiations. The aver
age Englishman was never more convinced
of the mutual advantages of Anglo -Ameri-
can cooperation, and is apt to grow impa-
tient at the slowness of diplomacy in
making use Of this general good will to
remove the series of irritating disputes, as
between Canada and the United States;
but, with all that. the Engiishman, espe-
eiaIly during the last decade. has deyel-
oped a profound faith in his own family.
and provided Canada has a reasonable
case, he will stick to her through thick
and thin.
The only version as yet published here
has been from Washington. and even that,
as the Times" is careful TO explain ed
itorlaIly, comes from a good American
whose business it is to expound American
opinion" OF the Canadian case the Eng
lishman has been told nothing as yet, and
suspends judgment
He remembers the past friendly attitude
toward the States of men like Laurier.
Cartwright, Fielding. and Davies, and he
recalls how many open questions there are
which seem fit elements for a friendly
give-and- take deal. such questions as those
OF the Alaskan boundary, the Clayton Bull
wer treaty, the North Atlantic and Behring
Sea fisheries, and the lumber duties, and
pending further information he cannot for
the life OF him understand why arbitration
should not be an equitable way of escape.
The talk of retaliation upon Canada, of
which the New York and Washington
dispatches are full today, interests him
little. He knows Canada has withstood
tsrin retaliation in the past, and il is
after all her affair That is the exact
state Of mind OF the average Englishman
at the present moment. and IL must be
added that he believes that it will all end
peacefully.

TWO NATIONS DEF[ED
BY 4 SCHOONER CREW
The Helvetia Held by a Few
Armed Men and Women.
Montreal Officers Fail TO DislOdge
the Belligerent Captain.
The state Department Refuses to
Take Acknowledgements Issued

Captain Marks, of the schooner Helvetia,
who has successfully defied the American
and British Governments in their attempts
to remove him from his craft. still holds
the fort al Valley Field, near Montreal. a
telegram was received at the State Depart
ment yesterday from Mr. Marsden, repre-
senting the Cleveland people who own the
Helvetia, which shows that blood may be
shed If an attempt is made to arrest Marks
Mr.. Marsden says that Marks is heavily
armed and is supported by his son, his
wife, another woman and about twenty
citizens of Valley Field, who are also sup
posed to be armed. In behalf of the own
ers, Mr.. Marsden makes a demand for the
arrest of Marks.
The State Department sent a tele-
gram yesterday to Mr. Marsden saying
that 1t could take no action until the own
ers of the Helvetia complied with the in
structions sent by the department on May
16. They must file an indemnifying bond
to guarantee no loss to the United States
Government or its consular representative
at Montreal if found liable for damages in
connection with Marks arrest, and TO Sc
cure payment of wages to the crew. The
department said that when this was done
an application for the arrest of Marks
would be made to the Canadian authorities.
The last telegram on the subject from
Mr.. German, the acting Consul General of
the United States at Montreal, gives
good idea of the seriousness of the situa-
I tion. The telegram follows:
Warrants issued by local authorities ar
rest Marks at request of new master. |
did not give consent. Detectives deted.
Marks says he will shoot the first one who
will come on board The whole town of
Valley Field in sympathy with Marks. De-
tectives say If Marks is arrested riot and
7 bloodshed will take place. Marks has
threatened to shoot me on sight. Depart
ment should request owners to settle and
! prevent bloodshed. If owners will not set
I tie would advise that a Government boat
be sent to Ogdensburg, n. Y, and tow ves-
sci t6 an American port"
! Reports received at the State Depart
ment from Mr.. German show that Captain
Marks is very determined. and had in
formed the acting Consul General that he
: would hold the Helvetia at Valley Field
! until he received the amount of his arrears
I of wages. which he claims to be S620. In
his latest report Mr. German says:
"Mr. Marks has on board the vessel be-
sides himself, his wife and son, and also
seven or eight persons from Valley Field to
assist him in resisting any attempt made
to put him off the vessel. He has made

From the start, the ladies have received
that support and moral and material as
sistance which is a sufficient guarantee of
the success of their great undertaking.
President Mckinley. whose address at At
lanta still rings in the ears of the people
of this country, has not only given audi

but has promised his hearty cooperation
by being present on the afternoon of Vir-
ginia Day, official duties not preventing.
The same deep interest and hearty SYM
pathy has been taken by all to whom the
ladies have so far appealed. until such
names as Wheeler. Tyler. Tanner, Father
Stafford, and Wilmer have been secured
on the programme.
But it Is not on account of the pro-
gramme that we are moved to put forth
this appeal. but for the cause for which
each person on the programme from Presi-
dent Mckinley down, has given his
services.
I'VE have been so situated as to !-now
and appreciate what the noble women of
the South have done for the cause of the
ex-Confederate soldier, and the support
and education of those dependent upon
them.
when. therefore, an organization OF
women like that of the r. E. Lee Chap
ter. undertake an enterprise. the chief OBJ
ject OF which is the prosecution of that
great work which has been going on ever
since the close of the war. it becomes our
duty and pleasure to give it the moral sup
port necessary to carry it to its ultimate
and successful conclusion. We have been
in close touch with these ladies since they
first undertook the work Of the June en-
campment We are familiar with the pro-
gramme as it will be presented on Mary
land and Virginia days, and we are pleased
to commend it to the general public. The
ladies have selected one of the finest spots
for such a gathering. near the National
Capital Glen Echo Park. The railroads
throughout the States of Maryland and Vir-
ginia have greatly reduced their rates. and
the hotels Of Washington have followed in
their wake. This. together with the at
tractive and excellent programme, insures
the success of the undertaking."

1t does appear that the fol

ed to split the party in twain.
Here are three men striving to be
subject to the party and servers
Of the State, and so much are the
delegates for them that they
would destroy the party rather
than see their man go down. Men
who thus act are not prudent
Democrats and should not control
the destiny of any man, for, in
deed, the man or party would most
likely suffer. There are onlook-

Republican party, and they are
now rejoicing over the row going
on. Delighted are they to hear
a word indicating disruption.
