AT A STAND STILL
The Alaskan Boundary Dispute Still
Open.

/
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The negotia-
tions between England and the U nited
States over the Alaskan boundary are
| at standstill. Secretary Hay inform
ed tAe British government that he
could not accept its suggestion that the
United States declare as British terri
tory the neutral strip of territory,
leading from the head of Lynn canal
back across the mountains to the Can
adian line.
The failure of Great Britain to agree
upon reference of the dispute to ar
bitration without this condition will
result in indefinite postponement of the
settlement of the dispute.
The negotiations show that the dis
pute is now distinctiyely an English
American one, Canada being excluded
from having direct voice in the oues-
tion.

CHAMBERLAIN ON COLONIES.
Bonds of English Speaking Race
should BE Drawn Closer.

London, Jan. 2S.-Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, speaking in Birmingham this
evening at the annual dinner of the jew
elerS and Silversmiths association said:
we now see our cousins across the At
lantc entering the lists and sharing in
task which might have proved too heavy
for us alone. Under the circumstanca IS
the first business of this, the worst gov
ernment of modern times, is to draw clos
er the bonds which unite us to the other
members of the English-speaking race
and to promote their cooperation In the
great work Of civilization, which appears
to be the mission of the Anglo-Saxon
race"
Speaking of the governments imperial
policy, Mr.. Chamberlain said:
Providence shapes our ends and intends
us to be a great governing power, conquer
ing in order TO civilize, administer and de-
velop, vast areas of the worlds surface
primarily to our advantage, but TO their
own advantages as well.
'As to the result of this mission hither-
to, an impartial witness, Rear Admiral
George Dewey, has said that one of the
mightiest factors in the civilization of the
world is the Imperial policy Of England
But it will not be longer the imperial pol
icy of England alone, though all the ma
tons that have sprung from our loins will
share in the task which has hitherto fallen
on our shoulders alone"

TO succeed Hon. Lee Mantle
The vote was; Clark. 5i; Conrad p;
Marshan, 4; scattering, L. or those who
voted for Clark, eleven are Republicans
AT a caucus OF the Republican members
held last night, by a large majority of
those present. it was decided TO be good
politics to vote for Clark. and aid in his
election, in the belief that It would hope
lessly disrupt the Democratic organiza-
ton Of the state.
The election of Mr.. Clark was made GER
tain when the grand jury, which has
thoroughly investigated the sensational
charges made by State Senator Whitesldc
reported that II had heard no evidence on
which to base an indictment for illegal use
of money, thus completely vindicating Mr.
Clark.
William A. Clark is 60 years old. a native
Of COnnehsVlile. Pa. In 1856 his parents
moved TO Van Buren county, Iowa, where
the senator-elect farmed and pursued his

SOLDIERS WANT TO RETURN.
slcIS1y Season Coming on Them in
the Philippines.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The House to-day
continued the consideration of the army
reorganization bill until o clock, when the
members paid their tributes TO the mem
ory of the late Representative simpkins of
Massachusetts.
Very little progress was made with the
army reorganization bin, the only amend
ment adopted being that offered by the
committee to give veterinarians In cavalry
regiments the rank, pay and allowances of
second lieutenants. The time before the
eulogies began was chiefly devoted to a
continuation of the debate on the advisa-
bility of retaining the Philippines.
Owing to the small attendance in the
House to-day and the fact that the eulo-
gies were set for 2 O'Clock. it was decided
not to offer for action to-day the amend
ments providing for the reduction of the
size of infantry companies and cavalry
troops. These were the amendments of
which Mr. Hun gave notice yesterday.
Would Withdraw the Troops.
Speaking to a pro forma amendment,
Mr.. Handy, Democrat, of Delaware, said
that he would withdraw our troops from
Manila before a hostile shot had been fired
against the natives, who were standing
for liberty. He would not like to witness
another Bunker Hill, in which we would
act the part of the invaders of liberty.
Mr. Bell, Populist, of Colorado, read
letter from soldier recently returned
from Manila, in which the writer said he
was fed on horse meat and wormy bread,
and that 80 per cent. of the American
troops were anxious to return. The other
1 per cent. was made up of those who
thought they could make money The
writer said the siclkly season was APP
preaching, and a large majority of the
troops would fall sick If they were not
withdrawn
Mr. Bell argued that the pension rolls
would be increased many millions if we
attempted to hold the Philippines.
ImperiaIists Responsible.
Mr. Carmack, Democrat, of Tennessee,
declared that the responsibility for the
death of every soldier in the Philippines
should be laid at the door of those who
insisted upon the proposed imperialistic
policy He quoted ex-Secretary John
Sherman as favoring the withdrawal from
the Philippines "as soon as we honorably
could"
Mr. Carmack became engaged In a warm
controversy with Mr.. Grosvenor, whom he
charged with being the mouthpiece of the
administration.
Mr. Grosvenor denied that he ever pre-
tended 10 speak for the President
"WeH." said Mr.. Carmack, ."he carries
the odor of the sancuty of the White
House about with him. He registers all
the various moods and shifting opinions
which take place there"
Il don't believe it is possible for any
man to do that" Interrupted Mr.. Johnson,
Republican, of Indiana. amid great laugh
ter on the Republican side.
At $50 o'clock p. m, as a further mark
of respect to the late Mr.. Simpklns, the
House adjourned.
