The Commission to Be Called
Together Again
To Discuss the Nicaragua Canal
Question.
THE STRIP OF ALASKA
Which Great Britain Wants Us
to Give Up
VIII Also Be Brought Up For
Consideration.

Chicago, March ga special to the
Tribune from Washington, D. c., says:
It was learned here today from re-
liable sources that the joint high com
mission will assemble in the immediate
future to consider questions of great
Importance, including the fertilization
of the Nicaragua canal and the possible
REIMBURSEMENT of a small strip of Alas
kan territory to the British government.
Il 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 reconvening the
commission comes from Great Britain
and developments today seem to con-
rier made in the Canadian parliament,
that the commission will soon be, called
together. AS is well known there is
much opposition to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, which provided in it's original
shape for a neutral canal and one which
could not be fortified by this country
even in time of war.
Senator Davis has proposed an
amendment to the treaty Nhich gives
this government the right to control the
canal absolutely when ever the United
States becomes involved in a war with
4 foreign nation. Great Britain natur-
ally opposes this amendment, but it is
said that government has proposed to
reconvene the joint high commission
with the intention of effecting negotia-
tions which viii permit the United
States to fortify the Nicaragua canal
and in exchange for this Great Britain
will ask for an outlet through Alaska
to the sea, which means the cession
of Pyramid Harbor to the British gov
