To Devise New Plan.

New York, Feb = Representatives
of all the traffic associations began "A
joint conference in this city today to
devise means for adjusting correction
sheets between various lines i'll the
passenger business. At present, and
for long period, there has been great
need of some systematic arrangement
or plan that will obviate the neces-
sity for interminable correspondence
growing out of efforts to rench salts
factory understanding and settlement
of claims among the roads
These claims arise from unwilling
ness upon the part of some one or more
roads to accept the proportion allow
ed by an issning line in the division
of n through rate. The latter gets
notice of this through the receipt of a
correction sheet, and perhaps it re-
fuses TO make any change. More
often it declines to correct its figures
This is the beginning of an intermin-
able correspondence with no certain
ty that the subject will ever reach IA
final adjustment 1t is believed that
n less cumbersome method can be
found thst will readily facilitate and
insure prompt disposal of whatever
controversy arises. prevent friction

A Distinct Victory.

Washington-The Associated Press
bulletin from London announcing the
decision of the Alaskan boundary
commission was the first intimation
received by the state department that
the commission had reached an agree
ment. Although the bulletin from
London is exceedingly brief, state de-
psrtment officials say that it shows O
distinct victory for the United States.
1t is their opinion that the effect OF
the decision regarding the Portland
canal merely gives to Canada posses
sion of Tearse Island, small island in
the Portland canal and of no special
Importance. This detail of the con
troversy is admitted by state depart
ment officials to have been open to ar
gument on both sides.

AGAINST WAGE CUTTING.
President Gompers Advises Employers
Not to Attempt 1t

Chicago warning against cutting
wages, If financial depression comos.
was uttered by President .Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor,
and plea for harmony between en-
ployers and toilers by Senator Hanna
was made at the closing of the National
Civic conference. Mr.. Gompers had
listened to the argument of the repre-
aentatives of capital and labor, who
had come from various parts OF the
country to discuss questions that
would bring them closer together. In
reply TO one of the speakers, the editor
of o New York paper, who at the
meeting the day before told the en-
ployes in the event of possible fnan-
ciol reaction not to make any unr "a
sonable demands upon the employers.
Mr.. Gompsrs spoke of the harm that
would follow any attempt to lower
wages. . FFf
Senator Hanna, as did number of
other speakers, including those for
capitul and labor, advised conserva-
tism in ell disputes between both
sides and praised this element of
labor organizations.
Labor leaders and employers be-
lisve that the conference has done
much in bringing tbs wage earners
and capitalists together in an effort to
establish more harmonious relations.

AMERICA WINS
ARBITRATION.
Every Point, of Decision Favors the
United States.
EXCEPT AS TO PORTLAND.
Successful Termination Of Boundary
Arbitration Came as a Complete Sur
prise to all Interested Except the
Commission.

London. The Ala. kan boundary
commission has verbally agreed to
grant all the American contentious ex.
cept for the Portland canal, which
goes to Canada. The formal agree
ment is being drawn up.
The successful termination OF the
Alaskan boundary arbitration came as
complete surprise to all interested
in the case except perhaps the com
missioners themselves.
When the tribunal adjourned it was
understood that no decision would be
reached till next week, that several OF
the counsel aud others employed in
the case left London soon after the
adjournment.
However. the Associated Press
learned that the vote had been taken
and that a decision to grant all the
American contentious except that for
the Portland canal, which goes to
Canada, had been arrived at.
No hitch occurred during the entire
deliberations, and as these progressed
the confidence of the American COM
missioners that decision substantially
upholding the American claims would
be given increased, bnt it was admitted
that it would be necessary to agree to
a compromise on the Portland canal
The only really djsquieting feature
OF the situation for the Americans dur
ing the last few days has been a vague
idea that Chief Justice Alversone, even
il he concluded to take the American
view, might be unwilling to go on
record with decision to that effect
and that disagreement was likely.

The most Important plans of cam,

The most important plans of cam
paign prepared by the general board
of the navy since its organization are
being perfected with reference to the
prospect of war between Russia and
japan over Manchuria and Corea.
Not only do they provide for the con-
duct of an American feet on the
Asiatic station in the event of such
conflict, but &c to the extreme of con-
templating the contingencies that the
United States on account of its ma
terial interests in Manchuria may be
drawn into hostilities in the far east.
In the preparation of these plans the
president and the state department
have been consulted, and the conclu-
sions of the general board have the
approval OF the administration. 1t is
evident from what has been deter
mined that the president and his ad-
visers are willing to go to extremes in
maintaining the right to trade freely
with Manchuria uutler the new COM
mercial treaty betwsen the United
STAGES and China.
