JOINT COMMISSION
WILL ASSEMBLE IN

Chicago, March ga special to the

that the joint high commission will as

slider questions of great Importance, in
Guiding the fertilization of the Nicara-
guam canal and the possible %relinquish-
ment of a small strip of Alaskan terri
tory to the British government.
1t has not been determined whether
the meeting will be in Washington or in
Ottawa, nor just when the commission
will be convened. The proposal for re-
Great Britain n developments to-day
seem to confirm the statement of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, made in the Canadian
parliament that the commission will soon
be called together. AS is we'll known
there is much opposition to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, which provided in it's
original shape for a neutral canal. and
n which could not be fortified by this
country, even in time of war.
Senator Davis has proposed an mend
ment to the treaty which gives this gov
eminent the. right to control the canal
absolutely whenever the United States
becomes involved in a war with a foreign
nation.
Great Britain naturally opposes this
amendment. but it is said that govern
ment has proposed to reconvene the Joint
high commission with the intention of
effecting negotiations which will permit
the United States to fortify the Nicara-
guam n n in exchange for his
Great Britain will ask for an outlet
through Alaska to the sea, which means
the cession of Pyramid harbor to the
British government.
