May Sl.-A special to the Herald from Washington says: Though less confident than It has been of settle, menl of the Alaskan boundary question, the administration Is still hopeful that the negotiations being conducted by Sec reiary Hay and the British government will yet furnish a solution of the con troversy. Sir Wilfred Laurlers state ment that Canada had never demanded Pyramid harbor is continued by otUolals, who, however, decline to talk for pub. Ilcation. As a matter of fuel. Great Uriiain or Canada has' never asked for. mally for a port on We Paclttc. This was the conclusion drawn from the otlf clala by reading between the lines of the EnKllsh communication. An official conversant with the ncgotla. Hons says that after considerable discus sion In the Joint high commission the suggestion was made that tne boundary dispute be referred to arbitration. In I nrlnclnle. this was satisfactory to the United States, but this government de sired to have it determined specifically what territory should be eubjocted to arbitration. Oreat Britain consulted Canada and later In the. communication Indicated fhat Canada desired to put into controversy a, port on the Alaskan coast, nrniuiiiiv ftkacwav. though none was named. Secretary Hay replied officially that the United States could not consent to ad'it th lirlttKh proportion.

Word has been sent out by the heads of the pernicious faith In Utah that the Mottnoo Crfurch is-about to fcut wi travelimj missionaries In every iVumy in evvy state tn this country, There are at pnesent 460 missionaries ln the- field. In thai time they have baptlied 1225 people. They are every. where in our colleges, in our universi ties, all over the country. "I predict that If It makes -the same progress In .the next five years as It has In the past five years, Mormonlsm will have secured the balance power In these states and will become the con. trolling factor In congress. - "You ask It polygamy Is being taught. Yes, polygamy is being taught today with as much aggressiveness as it was before the manifesto of 1S90. "The president of one of the leading Mormon, sooltles made a statement a few months ago In Lostan temple that the women of Utah, as a result of polygamy, wers out heroding Herod, In order to keep out of prison.
