American Poaifion

TORONTO (Ont), July 22-A special
to the Telegram" from Ottawa saws.
A violent criticism of the American
position concerning the Alaskan boun-
dary question by Sir Charles Tupper at
this mornings sitting of the House
brought forth a statement from Sir
Wilfred Laurier.
at is clear said he, that there ara
only two ways by which the difficulty
may now be settled. arbitration or war.
I have no hope at this moment that we
can settle the question by compromise.
No one wants war. We must exhaust
every means of removing the difficulty
by peaceful methods. have not given

which the Countess of Coke and
Countess of Dudley presided. Her mai

messenger boy who was on duty at
one of the stalls, was presented to the

Americans have been very prominent
in the entertainments of the week.
Mrs. Ogilvie Haig, whom the papers
describe as the daughter of the Queen
of New York society, Mrs. Astor, gave
her first London party on Wednesday.
Her house was full of notable people.
The same evening Mrs. Ogden Goelet
gave a very select dinner for the Prince
of Wales.
The Countess of Oxford formerly
Miss Louise Corbin of New York; has
been driving a pair of American thor
oughbreds in the park this week, the
gift of her father, G. G. Corbin. The
pair cost $1,000, and are pronounced
the most perfect to be seen in London.
The theaters naturally are all feeling

largely composed of American friends,
and the patronage of the United States
ambassador, Joseph H. Choate, gave
De Wolf Hopper a splendid start, but
the evidence is growing that the Eng
lish do not like "El Capitan, and it is
not likely that the play will last much
longer. The Sun prints an inter-
view with Mr.. Hopper. in the course
of which the American comedian Is
quoted as saying that the cruelty OF
the newspapers of the United States
is one of the saddest features of pro-
fessional career in that country. Amer
lean newspapers, Mr.. Hopper is al
legged to have said, 'dO not care whose
feelings they outrage, or whose hearts
they are breaking. Englishmen who
have never been in America little re-
aliZe how much their country gains
by the absence of such journalism. The
private life of those on the stage is
pestered year in and year out, and
yet, in spite of it, I know that the
profession can claim some of the hap
piest marriages in the world"
The Duke of York's Theater closes
tonight, and will reopen in September
with Nat Goodwin as the attraction.
