Of agreement rendered
The British authorities decided some
time ago that when the isthman cana
treaty was once disposed Of there would
be renewal OF the efforts to adjust
the Alaskan boundary and other pend
Ing C.iestions, the canal treaty being
regarded as one Of many pending is-
sues. Now the British government has
yielded the Clayton 3ulwer treaty and
other points In the isthmian negOtia-
lions, II desires 10 take up some Of
the other questions IN which II has
important interests involved
Lord Pauncef0te desires to clear up
all pending differences and have a
clean slate before his present term
as ambassador comes TO n close. When
he came 10 Washington there were
four great issues between the two gov
ernments.
The first Of these was the Boring sea
question which had reached an acute
stage The diplomats disposed Of this
question
The next was over Venezuela which
like the seal question at one time
threatened war But the efforts Of
diplomacy were again successful In
ayertng trouble and bringing about a
settlement
The third important Issue was on the
isthmIan canal, which has been salts
factonly disposed Of by the recent
Hay-Pauncefote treaty
This leaves only one issue remaining
in order to bring about "clean slate"
namely. the border controversy both
as to Canada and Alaska, The British
officials usually link these various
boundary controversies together as
they are more or less connected, At
present a modus yiyendl exists as to the
Alaskan boundary question, chiefly for
the purpose Of avoiding clash along
the border and holding each side in
check until a final boundary is de-
termined upon II seems to he con-
coded on both sides that the modus
cannot be carried ON Indefinitely, and
that sooner or later the question Of es.
tabHshinE a permanent boundary must
be settled.
