FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
WASHINGTON. ID. C.

Washington, ID. G.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. N.-The
prospect Is that the questions at issue
between the United States and Canada
will go unsettled for some time to come.
Recent advices received here from Lon
don indicate that the joint high commits
sion and representatives of the state de-
partment will not talk Of the situation,
the impression is abroad that the COM
mission is satisfied that it could never
reach an agreement on all the questions
before it for settlement. Early in the
fall it seemed probable that the COM
mission might be called together again
this winter. but some obstacle arose
and the plan was abandoned. 1t has
never been announced by the state de-
partment whether the objections to hold
ing additional sessions came from this
government or Great Britain.
1t is agreed by public men that the
differences between the two governments
must be settled sooner or later, ana
there is naturally good deal of specula-
ton as to what the future may prlng
forth. AS was announced at the time
the Joint high commission adjourned, the
outlook for agreement on all questions
of Importance except that relating to the
Alaskan boundary appeared to be good.
The United States, it is understood, is
not disposed to yield its contention with
reference to the boundary, and the be-
lief prevails that in time Great Britain
will concede that the views of the Amer
leans are right. The disposition of this
government seems to be to let the BRUSH
ponder over the situation for a time.
In the meantime the relations between
the two governments are most cordial,
and no one believes that the boundary
dispute is ever likely to become acute.

TEDDY BOUND TO RULE.
pres;dapt Not Inclined to Give Cab
met Much Freedom.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,


WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-One of the
evnlanations of the disintegration of the
MCKINLEY cabinet is that the new presl-
dent is unwilling, apparently, to deIef III
imnortant matters to the members OF MS
official family. 1t is pointed out tnat II
was the policy of Mckinley TO leaVe
most questions absolutely with ms CAP,
met ministers. Every important move
was. of course, considered in caplnet
meeting, but the president, haVlng great
confidence in his cabinet officers, gener-
allv acauiesced in their views. If he now
and then found it inadvisable to concur
he presented his views in such way eS
to bring no offense. AS result OF TINS
method Of conducting executive business,
if is said, many of the functions of the
president were gradually usurped by the
members Of the cabinet.
The new president, from the beginning
showed disposition to take the relhs IN
his own hands, and gradually the au-
thorfty has been brought back to the
chief executive. If current gossip may
be relied upon several members OF the
cabinet have felt for some time that they
were losing their usefulness. 1t is pretty
well understood that Secretary Gage
might have stayed at head of the treas
ury department indefinitely If he had
been less sensitive 1t is said that he
felt IndC ne ndQ IHS VI LIS W
partment we'll in hand, and, having the
support of the business interests of the
country, did not care to be subjected to
any annoyance, even though sone vi
them were petty in character. Unless
every we'll informed person here has the
wrong impression every member of the
Mckinley cabinet, with the possible ex-
ception of Knox, will retire before the
end of 1902.
AS has been said, there is no open rup-
ture, but conditions are simply not fa-
vorable for continued service of the men
who were the props of the Mckinley ad-
ministration. 1t would appear that the
time of Secretary Hays retirement de-
pends on the progress made with the
isthmian canal. He intends that his name
shall go down to posterity linked with
that great project, and he will not re-
sign until the building of the waterway
has been ordered by congress. The prob
ability is that the bill for the construc-
ton of the waterway will be passed be-
fore this government has a place to put
the canal, and SO 1t will devolve on Sec
retary Hay, under the law, to conduct

Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. u. = The
forms are closing and the last take
of copy is ended, for Walter w. Bell,
old-time newspaper man. shrewd real es-
tate dealer, and Surviving member Of the
thirty-three men who compose the Last
Mans Brotherhood, organized almost
half century ago.
1t was during the years Immediately
preceding the War of the Rebellion that
the play. "Geoffrey Dale was staged at
the Arch and Walnut street playhouse,
and in one of the scenes bottle of wine
was placed in a wicker hamper stored
away to be drunk by last survivor.
The idea was quickly taken up by thirty
three newspaper men, one from each state
in the Union at that time. The first
meeting was on Feb. 16, 1856. One of the
thirty-three was Walter w. Bell, then
head of the Inquirer's composing room.
Mr.. Bell will be the sole guest. If spir.
it's be not present, at dinner at which
thirty-three covers will be laid on Satur-
day night, Feb. 16 next, and will drink
the wine put away so long ago. Memories
will be present but they will be tender
and not sad.
