Washington. Jan. 24.-sattlement of the Alas
| kan boundary dispute by a commission Of six
turists three appointed by the United States and
| three by Great Britain. was provided for by a
treaty signed by Secretary Hay and Amhassn-
| dor Herbert to-day. thus removing the last
serious difference that for years has affected the
cordial relations otherwise existing between the
| two great English speaking nations The agree
rnent is recognized one of Secretary Hays
most notable diplomatic triumphs, and as a
striking evidence OF British good will. especially
at this time of critical conditions in the Carib-
bean Sea- Following. as 1t does. within forty
eight hours Of the consummation of the Panama
Canal treaty, It has created much enthusiasm
in Congress as we'll in executive circles here
Moreover, the new agreement is particularly
gratifying to the official world here. since 1t is
identical with the proposition submitted by
Secretary Hay in 1899 and rejected by the
British members OF the Joint High Commission
appointed to settle all outstanding differences
between the United States and Great Britain.
The counter proposal made by the British at
that time was for commission of three jurists
from each country. but having seventh mem
Der, who should cast the deciding vote in case
of a deadlock. After a brief consideration OF
the British proposal the rejection by the British
Government Of proposal to choose the seventh
member from Mexico Brazil or Switzerland, and
a similar refusal the part of this government
to accept a member from various European
countries named by Great Britain, the propo-
sition was rejected, and the Joint High Com
mission, then in session. adjourned indefinitely.

twelve points of difference for the settlement
of which it originally met That the British
have now accepted the identical proposal re
iected then marks significant diplomatic tri-
umph
SECRETARY HAYS TRIUMPH.
Thes proposal made by Great Britain to refer
the Alaskan boundary dispute has been utterly
repugnant to the United States, because the
matter issue did not any time seem to this
government proper question for arbitration,
since it purely question Of legal title,
which could be determined definitely one way or
the other-rather a matter for decision and not
mutual concession. Consequently, Secretary
Hay has constantly urged that it be referred to
equal number of eminent jursts of each
country. The absolute reliance this government
has always placed in the title derived from Rus
sia has supported the United States in its con-
tention that arbitra tion was not a feasible sou-
ton. failure of the commission named in

above is particularly true Of the many
horses entered for the running events
Fifty thoroughbreds will participate al
the meet. fully two times as many than

The entry books for the races were
supposed to be closed Wednesday night.
AS many arrived by mail afterward the
management accepted some today which
came by letter and were mailed on We'd
nesday, SO that it was not until last night
that the books were really closed. For
the trotting and pacing races there have
been 100 horses entered.
Mr.. Irwin is very enthusiastic over the
racing part of the big fair as he, has good
cause to be when the large number of en-
tries are considered Mr.. Resting, who has
been at race meets in Hutchinson, To-
peka and Ottawa in the last three days,
had much TO do with the securing of adj
exhibit.
A letter was received from Mr.. Resting
requesting that space be reserved in the
stock exhibit for 200 hogs and 80 head of
fancy cattle. The stock will come from
the vicinity Of Ottawa.
Mr.. Resting is expected home this morn
ing from that place which was the last

for space in the stock exhibit from per-
sons who have announced their intention
of contributing to the displays.

He left the city last night. After looking
over the site selected for the pike and
making arrangements for the coming OF
his shows to Wichita. he announced him
self as being well pleased with every par
ticular. Mr.. Todd was greatly impressed
with the city of Wichita on account of
its display of business activity. He pre-
dicted that the city would entertain more
or as many people than ever before on
the same occasion and said that the city
had some of the best attractions in the
country engaged for the fair. He was
particularly pleased at the many high
grade attractions secured besides the
