New Yoik, June 31. A special tc I
the Journal and Advertiser from Wash- j
ington aays: Canada has served notice
on England mat ane must ciionaa oe-
twatn tha United Htate and tha North
American Dominion in the settlement
of tbe Alaskan boundary question. It
ia atated on tha highest authority that
thia statement represents accurately the
condition submitted to England,
which ba delayed the negot'ationt
between Ambassador Choate and Lord
Kaliahnry In the provisional lino of th ,
modo vivendi.
Tbe position of Canada is known here
officially. The official to wboto it ia
known feel authorized in saying that
then are only two way out of tb
difficulty; first, that Canada will vol;
antaiilv recede from her demand for a
Paoifio tidewater port, or, second, that
the United Ktate shall surrender tin
principle laid down .by Secretary Hay,
in his tentative boundary line, that
Americans will not grant temporarily
or otherwise any port facilities to tbe
Canadians. That Canada will yield
. considered by the state department
officials, who have discussed tha new
and ai ute phases of tha situation, as
Improbable.
It ia asieited on authority that Eng
land lias been foiced to yield to Canada
and that the United States and Eng
land are wider apait today in the con
troversy than since the adjournment o!
the high joint commission. There i
also official warrant for the statement
that Lord Kaliabury and Mr. Chamber
lain, secretary of state for the colonies,
had, until the close of tha week, ex
pressed to Mr. Choate in good faith
tbe conviction that an agreement would
be reached. State department official
are therefore not disposed to criticise
England in tha premises, but on the
contrary, ad i alt that Canada s practical
and dangerous ultimatum to the
mother country I ample Justification
(or England' inability to proceed with
tbe negotiation.
In the light of the present new, tbe
conflict, which the provisional bound
aiy line was intended to prevent, may
be precipitated at any moment, anil
with greater show of probability when
It becomes known that England hat
decided to Itand Irrevocably behind

Planters generally pay about 18 a
month for wages, and at such prioea
they could not prevent loss if they re
ceived leas than 6 cents per pound.
Mr. Barrett said that nine-tenths ol
the out ton grown was mortgaged befors
it matured. Rates of interest and cam
missions were high, and the merchants
were gradually coming Into possession

Doty, the health officer ol the port, is
much elated over tbe successful results
of the experiments with serum pro
duced at his laboratory for tbe preven

months Dr. Doty and hia assistants
have beeri producing this serum at the

lated a number of guinea pigs, pre
viously fed with germs of yellow fever.

succeeded in preserving the lives of the
