CANADA'S LATEST.
Makes Another Offer Regard
ing Alaskan Boundary.
Gives Up Geld Regions but Insists en-
Having Sea Port.
Washington Thinks the Matter No Nearer
Settlement Than Before.

London, Oct. 2I.-The Associated
Press is enabled to give authoritatiyely
Canada's final proposition for a per-
manent settlement Of the Alaska dis
pute. 1t is very different firm her for
mer demands and was delivered to the
United States ambassador, Mr.. Joseph
II. choate by the Canadian minister
Of marine and fisheries. Sir Louis Hen
ry Davies. late the night before the lat
ter sailed. and it was dispatched. today.
to Washington by the officials of the
United States embassy. 1t is as fol-
lows:
That the boundary line be arbitrated
upon terms similar to those imposed by
the United States and Great Britain
over Venezuela, particularly those pro-
visions making 50 years occupancy by
either side conclusive evidence of title:
occupancy of less than that period to
be taken as equity allows under inter-
national law
That as condition precedent to and
absolutely preliminary to arbitration
Skagway and Dyea would be conceded
TO the United States without further
claim if Canada received Pyramid har-
Dor.
80 pN-ICi NOidS- ,dldud gives uD
much of the disputed gold country in
return for seaport. but stipulates that
she must get the latter before. she
agrees to arbitrate the boundary line
The propositions of Sir Louis Henry
Davies were made privately and were
apparently the result Of an unexpected
communication from his government
Tor the day previous he gave no ink
ing that he had been empowered to
make such sweeping proposals.
The canadian statesman has hereto
fore insistently denied the United
States contention that Dyea and Skag
way must first be ceded to the United
States before further treating on the
subject and his sudden change of front
and the concession Of two such impor-
tant points are apparently intended as
a coup and Mr.. Choate was found to a
certain extent unprepared
The only reply that he could make
was that he would inform the authori
ties at Washington and act upon their
advfces. as his Instructions did not con-
template a change of base by Canada.
The Associated Press is reliably in
formed that Canada's new position was
greatly influenced by imperial pressure.
ana it can be stated definitely that Mr..
hamberlain advised concession as
much as possible in order to gain a
port of entry free from United States
control with the professed reason that
commercial advantages would accrue
therefrom. But it is said that the III
terror motive is to increase British ma
val strength by making Pyramid har-
Dor strong naval base.

Canada Has No Claims to and Cannot Have

With United Forces They Are Now
Ready and Wi|'ingt 10
Give Battle,
WHITES BRUSH WITH Beers.

London. oct. 25.-The following dis
patch received from Gen. Sir George
Stewart White to the Marquis Of Lans-
downe. secretary Of state for war, re-
| ceived, last evening at II. was posted
at the war office, soon after midnight.
'Ladysmith, Oct. 24.-9 p. M.-Infor-
nation received. yesterday, showed
that the Beers had established them
selves in considerable numbers in an
exceedingly strong position west OF
the main road leading from Ladysmitf
TO Dundee.
II had also information that the
Dundee force, formerly commanded by
Gen. Symons. and, since his wounding
commanded by Gen. Yule, was falling
back on Ladysmith by way of the
Helpmakaar road. Beth and the val
leys of the Waschbank and Sunday
rivers. and was expected to reach sun
day river valley. today.
Il therefore moved out with a strong
force to cover the movement of Yule's
column. The enemy was discovered
about seven miles out of LadySmith in
a position Of exceptional natural
strength. west of the road. When he
saw that operations We're being made
against him he opened fire with one
gun with great accuracy.
our artillery soon got into position
and the gun was silenced. our troops
We're ordered to occupy strong ridge
parallel to the enemyS position. but
nearer the road.
II confined my efforts to occupying
him and hitting him hard enough to
prevent his taking action against Yule's
column. Numbers of the enemy fled
to the west and the firing had been
practically ceased at O'Clock"
The war office dispatch seems to real
iZe the worst fears. Gen. Yule has
abandoned not only Dundee. but Glen
coe also. and so far as the present news
would indicate. he has neither Joined
Gen. White or reached Ladysmith.
Gen. Whites successful action an
nounced in Parliament by Mr.. Wynd-
ham seems to resolve itself into a
mere engaging of the attention of the
Free State troops while Gen. Yule is
slipping southwark.
1t is evident from the official dis
patches that both Commandant Gen.
Joubert's column on the north and the
Orange Free State troops on the west
now occupy strong positions and that
nothing binders the Beers from follow
ing up Gen. Yule's retirement and get
ting around Ladysmith from the south
east. Until re-inforcements arrive it
seems that Gen. White is obliged to
on Ladysmith.
1t is believed that the government
has other dispatches that have not yet
been published.
The secretary Of state for war left
Mr. Choate's residence Immediately at
the end Of the banquet to Gen. Harri
son and proceeded to the war office.
where. even after midnight, there was
activity, many visitors
calling to inquire for information.
