In our foreign intercourse the dominant
question has been the treatment of the
Chinese problem. Apart from this our
relations with the powers have been

rho recent troubles in China spring
from the antiforeign agitation which for
the past thee years has gained strength
In the northern provinces. Their origin
lies deep in the character of the Chinese
races and in the traditions of their gov

spreading ever their land, the steamers
plying on their waterways. the merchant
and the missionary penetrating year by

The work Of marking certain provision
nj boundary points for convenience OF
administration around the head OF Lynn
canal. In accordance with tho temporary
arrangement Of October. 1899. was COM
pleted by a joint survey in July last. The
modus yiyendi has so far worked without
friction, and tho Dominion government
has provided rules and regulations for
securing TO our citizens the benefit OF
the reciprocal stipulation that the citi-
zens or subjects OF either power found by
that arrangement within the temporary
jurisdiction Of the other shall suffer no
diminution OF the rights and privileges
they have hitherto enjoyed; hut, however
necessary such an cNpedient may have
been to tide over the grave emergencies
OF the situation. IL is AZ best but an un-
satisfactory makeshift. which should not

In this relation I may refer again 10
the need OF definitely marking the Alas
kan boundary where il follows the one
hundred and forty first meridian. a con
vcntion TO that end has been before the

ton has been taken I contemplate nego-
tiating a new convention for a Joint de-
termination Of the meridian hs tale
