taken umbrage at Vice Admiral Seymours s
to the viceroy of Nankin. 1t was quite
well understood, Mr. Takahira pointed out
that the Yangtse Kiang valley is the Brit
ish sphere of influence and that British in
terests are extensive throughout that
region. Moreover, Mr.. Takahira said that
the viceroy of Nankin is a man of enlight-
ened and progressive sentiments, who has
always shown great consideration for for
eigners. that his cordial reception of Ad-
miral Seymour is quite natural Under
these circumstances, Mr.. Takahira dis
misses as quite unfounded the foreign con-
lecture that the cordial relations between
Great Britain and Japan may be strained
by this incident and that 1t will give oc-
casion for a raproachment between Russia
and Japan. The minister regards the at
titude of Japan as uniformly harmon
ious with all the powers interested in the
present conflict that there is not likely to
be any marked change in the present inter-
national relations.
Harmony Between Allies Proved.
One of the most gratifying features OF
Gen. Chaffee's message is that it effectually
disposes of the story that the internation-
ais are rent with dissensions and are idling
their time away feasting and carousing in
Tien Tsin. On the contrary, it shows that
the allied forces are working harmoniously
together and have Joined zealously in the
movement against Pekin for the rescue of
the beleagured legationers
The naval dispatches received yesterday
made it appear that only the Russians and
japanese soldiers took part in the decisive
battle at Peitsans. According to todays
advices from Gen. Chaffee 1t is shown that
all the nationalities were represented in
the attacking column in that affair, and
also that the reason why the Russians and
Japanese were the principal sufferers in
the engagement was simply that they hap
pened to be in the places of greatest re-
SiStance.
The American forces were engag ged in the
Ranking movement, and apparently met
with no serious opposition The smallness
of the American representation-only 2. 100
men-is source of some chagrin, but ia
looked upon as. matter that could not be
avoided. The contingent was made up of
about 1850 men of the 9th Infantry and
loo OF the 18th Infantry with Really's
battery of the 9th Artillery, numbering
about 125 men. The 9th Cavalry, of which
SO much was expected, Is on guard duty at
lien Isin, having been left behind because
OF the non-arrival Of their mounts.
AS has been already stated great difficult
ty Is being experienced In the disembarka-
ton of the cavalry horses due to the lack
OF sufhcient lighters. The ships are rock
ing IN the roadsted eight or ten miles from
the landing places, and 1t will be several

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY,
An Authoritative Statement Soon Ex.
pected From State Department..

pected From State Department.
1t is probable that the State Department
will at an early day make an authoritative
explanation of the present status of the
Alaskan boundary Question, thus clearing
up many misapprehensions which have re-
Gently arisen. This is likely to be in con-
nectioi with several representations and
protests forwarded by mining organiza-
tions and chambers of commerce in the far
northwest, all Of which seems to be based
upon the assumption that some positive
right has been surrendered by the modus
vivendi The attitude of the State Depart.
ment IS that the modus vivendi is at most
a temporary agreement, in which the
rights OF neither side are surrendered, the
question of boundary being left for final
determination in the future. The present
boundary is held to be merely provisional l.
for the sake of avoiding controversies be
tween customs officers and actual conflicts
between miners. Moreover it is stated
that the United States official, Mr. Tit
man, Wko is on his way back from the
work Of deliminating the line had absolute
~ no discretion in the matter, but simply
set out the stakes along the line specin
caily agreed upon in the modus vivenui
OF october 10 last. Mr.. Tittman's action.
therefore, is held to present no new phase
of the subject, which, according to the
State Department, has undergone no
change whatever since last October. The
Forthcoming department statement will
doubtless be along these lines.

NEUTRALITY PROCEDURE.
No Laws on the Subject in Argentine
Republic.

The State Department has received a let
ter from Mr.. Francois 8. Jones. secretary
of legation at Buenos Ayres, concerning
neutrality procedure in the Argentine Re
public.
There are no Argentine neutrality laws. -
says Mr. Jones. The question of the ad-
Visibility on the part of the Argentine con-
greSS OF enacting such laws has been agi-
tated, but up to the present time no legis-
lation has been passed on the subject. Sec
retary Jones then relates two instances
where neutrality procedure was required,
first in the war between the Argentine Re
public and Paraguay in 1865, and again at
the outbreak of the war between Chile,
Peru and Bolivia in 1879. In the first in
stance the question was dealt with and set
tied by decision rendered by the supreme
court of Argentine, and in the second din
lomatic correspondence between the minis
ters of Argentine and Bolivia settled the
disputed point. However, as stated above.
there is no law in Argentine regarding neu-
trality proceedings. these two disputes
having been dealt with on the ground.

JULIAN ARNOLD EXPLAINS.
Son of Sir Edwin Before United States
Comm missiOner.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, August Julian
T. B. Arnold, the accused son of Sir Edwin
Arnold, has appeared before United States
Commissioner Hitchcock and explained
how the Swain trust fund, which he is ac-
cused of embezzling, came to be lost by
the fault of the investment firm with which
he had been connected in London. He de-
clared that the interest on the money had
been regularly paid to the widow Of w. H.
Swain until December 20, 1899, when the
company collapsed by reason of the de-
cline of English securities caused by the
Boer war. The amount stood on the ledger
of the firm credited to the Swain trust
fund. which would participate in the dis
tribution of the firms assets of $4,000.
Arnold declared he was not personally
concerned in the matter, 1t being a part of
the business of the firm. He denied that
he was a fugitive from justice. as he had
turned his property over to his creditors
and had no charge pending against him
when he left England.
The case will be argued today.
