BOUNDARY CLAIMS
BE SETTLED AMICABLY AT
WASHINGTON
BOTH GOVERNMENTS WILLING
Alaskan Boundary Difficulty and Mi
nor Cases of Difference Promise
to He Disposed of Very
Quickly.

WASHINGTON, Dec. est is expected
that efforts will be renewed before long
for the settlement of the numerous con-
troversies which have long existed be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain, growing out of relations along the
Canadian border, the Atlantic fisheries,
warships on the Great Lakes, the Alas
kan boundary, and other questions. Here
tofore the negotiations designed to secure
proved effective largely because of the
cumbersome machinery of negotiation,
and this has led to the belief that much
more could be accomplished by direct ne
gotiations between Secretary Hay and
Lord Pauncefote the main points, and
the subsequent assembling of a commits
sion representing the United States,
Great Britain and Canada, to give form
to the basis of agreement rendered.
The British authorities have expected
for some time that when the isthmian
canal treaty was once disposed of there
would be a renewal of efforts to edjust
the Alaskan boundary and other pending
questions, the canal treaty being regard
ed as one of many pending issues. Now
that the British government has yielded
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and other
points in tho isthmain negotiations, it de-
Sires to take up some of the other ques-
lions in which they have important inter-
ests involved.
PauncefOte's Ambition.
Lord Pauncefote desires to clear up
all pending differences and have "a clean
slate" before his present term as ambas-
sador comes to close. When he came
to Washington there were four great is
sues between the two governments. The
first of these was the Boring sea con-
troversy which had reached an acute
stage. Diplomacy disposed of this is
sue. The second issue was over Vene-
zuela, which, like the seal question, at
one time threatened war. But diplomacy
was again successful in averting trouble
and bringing about settlement. The
third important issue was on the 18TH
milan canal which has been satisfactorily
disposed of by the recent Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty.
This leaves only one issue remaining
in order to bring about "a clean slate
namely, the border controversy, both as
to Canada and Alaska. At present
modus vivendi exists as to the Alaskan
boundary chiefly for the purpose of
avoiding clash along the border and
holding each side in check until a final
boundary is determined upon. 1t seems
to be conceded on both sides that the
modus cannot be carried on indefinitely,
and that sooner or later the main ques-

DAN PATCH TOO FAST.
May BE Retired Because No Class Is
ODcn to Him.


NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Unusual interest
centers about the makeup OF the Grahu
Central programme for next season,
inasmuch as the decision of the stewards
in this matter will determine whether or
not the sensational young pacing stallion
Dan Patch, 2:O41a, is to be campaigred
in 1902 This fiVe-year- son OF joe
Patchen, 2:01H, went through the circuit
from Windsor to Memphis without losing
a race. He looks like the hest horse
in the 2:G5 class for next season. arc
turfmen are specializing as to whether
the associations will indirectly bar him
by making no class between The free~lor-
all and the 2:O6 race. M. E. Mcdenr!r,
who drove Dan Patch in all his winning
races last seanson, and who will handle
him again next year, if he starts, says
he will advise D. A. Messner Jr., the
owner of the horse, to keep him in fe-
tirement for a year if the Grand Cir
cult managers pursue this course.
"Of course" said McHenry yesterday.
''I believe Dan Patch is the bet PAGER
in the country, but it would be- asking
too much of him, great rs ne is, to
pit him against such old stagers as
Prince Alert and Anaconda in the free

Lansdowne Desires settlement.

LansdOvne Desires settlement.
Recently Lord Lansdowne has express
ed in speeches the need of taking up the
Alaskan boundary question. These dec
larations by the head of the British for
eign service, together with the well
known wish of Lord Pauncefote to clear
away all pending differences between the
two governments, doubtless will lead to
the formal exchanges necessary to an
adjustment. At present it seems likely
that direct negotiations and the subse-
quent assembling of a commission will
commend itself to the parties concerned
as the most feasible procedure.
The border issues outside of that relat-
ing to Alaska are those which long have
existed and have created more or less
friction. The joint high commission
which assembled some time ago prac-
tically disposed of these lesser issues,
but the deadlock on Alaska prevented
treaty covering these and other points
of agreement. With the disposal of the
Alaskan boundary, therefore, it is felt
that the way would be clear to dispose of
the other controversies.
The reciprocity question, which is
among those formerly considered, is
not likely to be taken UP in this connec-
ton, as Canada desires to make it tho
subject of separate negotiation. The At
lantic fisheries question also may be the
subject of separate negotiations.

The saying that war is help is only

The difference in appearance and ac-

less than startling. Instead of standing
about smoking, joking with people on

MONEY FOR PHILIPPINES
IT Is ONE OF THE IMPORTANT
QUESTIONS.
The Mexican Dollar is the Basis of
CurI ency Throughout the Orient.
What Secretary Root Proposes.

The secretary of war has prepared
another letter to congress urging i'm
mediate action to relieve the monetary
situation in the Philippines by author
izirg the adoption of the present cur
rency system of the United States or
the coinage Of a silver dollar 10 be sub
stituted for the Mexican dollar, which
is now the circulating medium. There
are arguments in favor of both plans.
Sooner or later the money of the United
States will naturally be adopted for all
its colonies. 1t will be the necessary
result of trade, and a good many think
that it is best to begin and endure
whatever disturbance may be caused
by a change of currency at once, be-
cause the longer it is postponed the
more difficult 1t will be. The CONNER
cial activity of the Philippine islands
and their foreign and international
trade will never be any more depressed
than they are at present, unless, of
course, some unforeseen calamity should
happen Notwithstanding the unsettled
condition of the people and the insur-
rection i'm the interior there has al
ready been considerable improvement
and prospect of even greater improve
ment within the next few months.
Capital is going in, new enterprises are
being revived, and in the judgment of
many there is no prospect of more
favorable opportunity to adopt per
manent monetary system upon the
same basis as that of the United States
instead of the old Spanish system,
which was based upon the Mexican
dollar. 7NHG&HNM
On the other hand the Mexican dol
lar is still the standard of value in all
of the countries around about in east
ern Asia and the East Indies Many
think that an American dollar of the
same weight and fineness would afford
a market for large portion of the out
put of our silver mines and that it
would be much better for the Filipinos
than our own currency.
The Mexican dollar has been in use
in the Orient for many years, and the
people are so conservative and so OPP
posed to innovations that 1t will be
difficult to persuade them to accept
another form of money. A large por-
ton of the bullion mined in Mexico
has been shipped to the east i'm the form
of dollars for many years, and this
trade will doubtless continue, what
ever action the government of the Unit
ed States may take. The president
and the secretary Of war prefer to
leave the solution of this problem to
congress, but ask that immediate ac-
/ ton be taken.
