CANADIAN NEGOTIATIONS.
DECLARATION IN LONDON THAT THEY
ARE STILL PROCEEDING.


PAUNcEFoTE RETURNS TO WASHING
TON A TREATY COVERING ALL QUEs-
TIONs WILL BE CONCLUDED.
London. May 12-with reference to the prog
ress of the negotiations by and the status of the
Anglo American Joint High Commission. the
correspondent of The Associated Press has OBJ
tanned from the highest quarters the following
authoritative statement:
Negotiations have never been broken off nor
endangered at any time since the adjournment
Of the Commission. II matters proceed as
smoothly as they are at present doing here Sir
Julian Pauncefote's return to Washington will
be signalized by the conclusion OF q treaty en-
bracing every question In dispute in manner
honorable and pleasing to the two countries.
CHANCE OF REACHING AN AGREEMENT.
Washington, May 12.-Due notice has been
taken by the officials here Of the semi-oficial
declaration from London respecting the chances
for the conclusion Of a treaty that will settle
all of the questions at Issue between the United
States and Canada All that can be said is that
the Administration will be extremely gratihed
If Sir Julian Pauncefote returns to the United
States with new instructions that will meet
the difficulties which baffled the first Commits
sion, for, as matters stand. It is realized that
nothing can be expected to result from further
meeting Of the Commission.
The statement that the negotiations are TO be
deferred until the return Of Sir Julian Paunce-
fote to Washington is regarded as significant
1t confirms fully the original statement that
the Commission cannot meet on August 2, for
the Ambassadors return to this country was
set for next fall. The dispatch also appears to
convey an intmation that the British Govern
ment has about reached the conclusion that the
only method by which these vexatious issues
can be adjusted is by direct negotiation be-
Great Britain and of the United States. The
parties to the negotiations up to this point have
before expressed perfect confidence In their
ability to reach a satisfactory agreement De-
tween themselves In a short time II allowed 10
do as they believed to he right, so they would
be glad to be relieved Of the intervening forces
