BOUNDARY DISPUTES.
THE ANGLO-ANIERICAN COMMITS
SION TO RESUME WORK

Washington. Nov l5-Stcps have
been taken for resuming the important
work of the Anglo American Commits
sion. made up OF representatives. of the
United States. Great Britain and Can
ada. and consideration of the subject
now in progress probably will de-
terminc within few days what course
Will he pursued. Correspondence has
passed recently between Ottawa and
Washington relative 10 reSuming the
work, and now that the elections on
both sides of the border are over there
is felt To be more time and opportu-
nifty to devote to the serious questions
involved before this commission. 1t is
understood that the American commits
sioners desire to remove the possbil-
ity of such Intellectual results as oc-
Cured at their last sitting. The indi-
cations are that this can be done
through the cooperation of the State
Department, by emitting the Alaskan
boundary questions from those TO he
considered. thus removing the chief OBJ
stacle TO progress. on the Alaska
question the commission was practi-
cally deadlocked. and 1t made no re-
port on the progress on other questions
because of inability to include this
question. Since then, however, n
modus vivendi on Alaska has been
agreed upon, and while this lacks per-
manency. 1t is felt that the question
can be best left TO direct negotiations
between the two Governments, thus
permitting the commission to proceed
with the many other important uues-
tons involved. What arrangement
can be made in this particular will de-
pend upon the conferences now going
on. The purpose of the commission is
to frame a new treaty between the
United States and Great Britain. COW

along the Canadian border and thus

QUESTION OF ORDNANCE.
POINTS TOUCHED UP
ON IN OFFICIAL REPORT.

10y Telegraph 10 NlrBlnian-PtlOtb
Washington. Nov. 15.-The report OF
General Burlington. chief of the Ord
nance Bureau. has been made to the
Secretary of War Some of the inter-
esting portions of the report, dealing
with disputed points between the Ord
nance Bureau and the Board OF Forth
cations are contained in appendices.
which have not yet been made public.
Among those features is that on field
guns. which is dismissed with a para
graph stating that the facts can be
found in an appendix. The Ordnance
bureau was about TO let the contract
Tor 200 field guns, when the recommen-
dalton of the Board of Ordnance and
Notifications was approved, holding
up any action for some months. 1t is
in connection with field ordnance that
an agent of the government has oh
tanned what he alleges is the secret Of
the French field gun and which II is
proposed shall be tested by this gov
eminent.
Another controversy is that relating
to the disappearing gun carriage
whose further manufacture has been
decided against by the Board of Ord
nance and Notifications. General
Burlington discusses the history of this
carriage, showing that 1t was ordered
by the Endicott Board and the Score
tary of War.

ARMoR PLATE ARGUMENT.
SECRETARY LONG HAS AN UN.
OUTSTANDING WITH
= CARNEGIE.

Washington. Nov. 10. - Secretary
Long to-day announced the conciusi IN
OF the long controversy over the price
of armor plate for naval vessels and
an agreement with the Carnegie Com
pany and Bethlehem Company for
Krupp armor at $420 n ton. with the
possible addition of royalty less fees,
making the maximum price $4o5.az a
ton. The amount of armor involved is
the largest ever placed at one time by
the Government, and is said to equal
all the armor purchased by the Gov
eminent up to 1896. 1t covers the ar
NOR for seI enteen ships now in various
stages of construction. including eight
battleships. six armored cruisers and
three protected cruisers.
The following official statement wa.
given out concerning the agreement:
Inc Navy Department has come to
an agreement With the Carnegie and
bethlehem Companies for Krupp ar
NOR of the first class. amounting to
1850 tons for $500 a ton The Krupp
process Involves the Harvey patent,
the validity of which is now under
consideration by the courts. and ii is
further agreed that the Government
VIII assume in addition any liability
Tor the krupp process not exceeding
10 or S24.32 a ton for I[rupp royalty
and not exceeding the United States
license fee of S1l.20 for Harvey royalty.
The maximum price to the Government
Is therefore $t55.52 ton. subject to
diminution in case of any reduction in
the foregoing royalties.
The bid of these companies for this
class of armor was $3.50 and the price
originally asked $5i5."
The armor contract covers not only
the 24950 tons specified In the official
statement. but also some 10000 tons Of
armor of the second and third class
which has not been in controversy, but
has been dependent upon the disposal
of the first-class armor. The eAtire
amount. approximately $4,000 tons Is
now made available New specifica-
tons have been prepared by the Navy
Department. showing in detail the
tests times of delivery. etc. There Is
some change in the classical ion, but
i'm the main features the specifications
are as they were when the last bids
were made.

WAR REVENUE TAX.
POOR PROSPECT FOR IT'S EARLY
REMOVAL.

(By Telegraph to Virginian- Pilot.l
Winona, Min, Nov. 15.-Congressman
James a. Tawney. of the Ways and
Means Committee. speaking of the
meeting TO be held in Washington No
vember 20, says:
1.-The object is to consider the extent
to which the war revenue taxes can
be removed and amendments suggested
to make the law more satisfactory in
administration The problem as to
what taxes shall be removed will be
perplexing one. I think, however, 1t is
safe TO say that the stamp tax upon
instruments of conveyance. such as
notes, deeds, mortgages. inheritances
for charitable and benevolent purposes
will be removed; possibly the taxes up
on proprietary medicines and some
others.
1T will be the desire of the members
OF the committee 20 remove just as
many OF the stamp taxes as possible,
but. like the removal of the stamp
taxes under the old civil war revenue
act. this will probably have TO be done
gradually. so rs to avoid sailing too
close to the danger OF a deficit"
