THE BORDER I88UE8.
Diplomat. Again to Take Up the Aluka
Boundary and Other Quutions.
Washington, Jan. 1. It is expect
ed that efforts will be renewed before
long for the settlement of the num
erous controversies which have long
existed between the United States and
Great Britain, growing out of relations
along the Canadian border, the At
lantic fisheries, warships on the Great
Lakes, the Alaska boundary and
other question. Heretofore the ne
gotiations designed to secure a settle
ment of the matters recited have not
proved effective, largely because of
the cumbersome machinery of nego
tiation, and this has led to the belief
that much more could be aecoiiin-
islicd by direct negotiations between
Secretary Hay and Lord I'auncefote
on the main points and the subse
quent assembling of a commission
representing the United States, Great
Britain and Canada to give form to
tie basis of agreement rendered.
The British author itics have main
tained for some time that when the
isthmian canal treaty is once disposed
of there will lie a renewal of the
efforts to adjust the Alaska boundary
and other tending questions, the
canal treaty being regarded as one of
the many pending questions. ow
that the British government has
yielded the Clavton-Bulwer treaty
and other points in the isthmian ne
gotiations, it desire to take up some
of the other questions in which it
has important interests involved.
Lord l'auncelote uesiresto clear up
all the pending differences and have
clean slate before bis present
term as ambassador conies to a close.
When he came to Washington there
were four issues between the two gov
eminent. Hie tirst ol these was
the Retiring sea question, which had
reached an acute stage. The diplo
mats disposed of this question. The
next was over Venezuela, which, like
the seal question, at one time threat
ened war. But the efforts of diplo
macy were again successful in avert
ing trouble and bringing about a set
tlement. The third important issue
was the isthmian canal, which has
been satisfactorily disposed of by the
recent Hay-I'auncefote treaty. This
leaves only one issue remaining in
order to bring about a "clean slate,"
namely, the border controversy, both
as to Canada and Alaska. The Brit
ish officials link these various bound
ary controversies together, as tney
are more or less connected
At present a modus vivendi exists
as to the Alaska boundary question,
chiefly for the purpose of avoiding
a clash along the border and holding
each side in check until a final bound
ary has been determined upon,
It
seems to lie conceded on txtn sides
that the modus cannot be carried on
indefinitely, and that sooner or later
the question of establishing a perma
nent boundary must be settled.

)KDEREI) TO SAIL
ONE SMALL CRUISER SENT TO
VENEZUELAN WATER8.
One or Two Mors to Reinforce Squadron
Now There Official Note Stating Thai
Negotiations Continue Ambamdor White
Term German-American War Talk Sen
sational Nonsense.
Berlin, Jan. 2. The small German
cruiser Gazelle was ordered today to
sail immediately from Kiel to Vene
zuelan waters. The government in
tends to send one or two other small
arships to reinforce the present
luaxlron in the Caribbean sea. The
additions to Germany's naval force
n the Caribbean sea will not be sufli-
ient to give rise to suspicion among
the iieoplc of the United Htats that
Germany meditates anything beyond
the collection of claims due German
bjects. The German government
desires beyond anything else in this
matter to avoid disturbing tbe gov
ernment or the people of the United
tetates. German newspatiers pub
lished today are full of expressions of
this kind, and many of these express
ions are so much alike that it w easy
to infer their utterance was suggest
ed by the government. A remarkable
lung is the fact that there is not a
ingle unkind expression toward the
United States in any of the newspa
per comments.
We nope that this opinion, says
the Berliner Neuste Nachrichten,
which grew out of the Spanish war,
and which we consider to be wholly
erroneous, will soon give place to a
more correct conception of Germany's
mis. It is quite unreasonable that
the people of the United States, hold
ing such opinion, should connect
this opinion with their Venezuelan
affair, inasmuch as Washington has
been fully informed of Germany's
ntentions."
The Lokal Anzeiger says: "The
task for our diplomacy is to make
German interests prevail against en-
ezuela without at the same time los
ing touch with the American govern
nient. The authorities at Washing
ton have up to the present time
hown such an intelligent com pre
hension of the situation and friendly
disposition towards Germany's wishes
hat no grounds for apprehension ex
ists at this point."
Replying to Germany g assurance
to the United States regarding the
former's plans in connection with
Venezuela, the foreign ollice here has
received an answer from Secretary
Hay, expressing full satisfaction with
the German position. Germany still
holies to collect her claims peaceably.
PREDICTS ANOTHER WAR.
American Says China It Openly Violating
the Protocol.
New York. Jan. 2. Charles F.
Gammon, superintendent of colpor
teurs for the American Bible Society
in Northern China, writes to the
society concerning the present situa
tion in the Chinese empire as follows:
"Y hile at Shanghai I observed that
the Chinese government was openly
violating the provisions of the proto
col. The great empire would shake
off European domination. Thou
sands of boatloads of small arms and
ammunition were passing weekly up
the langtse Kiang and the arsenals
were ueing enlarged and worked day
and night. Cargoes of explosives
were being received, and tbe dowager
empress had issued instructions to all
officials to recruit the army, "and also
to lniorm her as to the righting
strength of each division and the
time required to concentrate the
forces at a given point.
lhere were and are many other
unpromising features which weighed
heavily upon the minds of those in
terested. I must believe that the end
is not yet, and that within 10 years,
possibly within five, a war will ensue
the like of which the world has never
known. For centuries China has
been making repeated attempts to
expel the foreigner, each time profit
ing by past experience, each time
with more power and success, each
time better equipped and better
planned.
"She i8 now preparing as never be
fore, buying vast quantities of super
ior weapons and reorganizing her
armies on a correct basis. Therefore
the next attempt will be gigantic in
force and terrible in execution. It
will result in a universal upheaval
and the final dismemberment of this
empire at a terrible cost."
Pan-American Conference.
Mexico, City, Jan. 2. -With slight
modifications, the proposal of the
late Duarte Tereira for the appoint
ment of a committee of jurists to
codify international law was this
afternoon accepted by the Pan-American
conference. An amendment to
the effect that the secretary of state
of the United States shall be chairman
of the codifying commission was ac
cepted. Train Wrecked by a Rock.

wrecked and 100 feet of track torn up
as a result of a collision with a heavy
rock by a westound freight train on

PRICE OF PANAMA CANAL.
The French Company Atreet to Sell
Their
Interests for $40,000,000.
Paris, Dec. 31. M. Lam pre, sec
retary general of the Panama Canal
Company, sailed for New York today
on the French line steamer L'Aqui
tane, from Havre. He will confer on
his arrival in the United States with
a number of Panama Company offi
cers, and make overturet for the tale
of the property to the United State.
In view of the doubt existing in
the United State regarding the price
the Panama Canal Company's repre
sentatives intend to ask lor the prop
erty, the correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press made inquiries from the
hest source of information on that
subject, and is enabled to lay that the
price will be approximately $40,000,-
000. This figure cannot yet (be given
as the exact one, because the com
pany has not yet come to a definite
decision, but it will not be appreciab
ly higher, ibe Isthmian commis
sion's full report i now in possession
of the Panama Company, and its val
uations will tie studied in detail.
Tbe report of the directorsof the Pan
ama Company, cabled to the Asso
ciated Press, said :
W e offer to accent as tbe basis and
principle of departure of fresh nego
tiations the figures and declarations
maintained in the Isthiman commis
sions definite report."
I he etimates reached by such emi
nent men are not thought to be open
to question, though possibly few
items are susceptible of reconsidera
tion and a few matters may remain
to be decided, such as a valuation of
the company' stock of supplies, but
none of these is calculated to modify
the gross figure to any extent. The
company docs not intend to give the
slightest ground for any further mis
understanding, and believes the defi
nite price put forward will now be ac
ceptable.
