It would be just as iia'mille for ua to Insist upon taking up tl e o.'l boundary question betweeo the L'nlted Butts and Canada again and de clare our diuattsfactluQ with tha 491b degree of latitude. England long ago recognised tbe boundary (or which we are cuni-n'll. 6be did this when the Hudson Bsy Ooaitny (wbtvh waa prac tioajly Canada at Aai Ume) executed a Irut for 10 years from Russia of the terri.v.V she k) out intending for. This lcso waa renewed for a second term, so what better proof could any one ask for of our ownership.

Mt'ST NOT BACK DOWN. , 8uon , crw by the United States on the Alaskan Boundary Would Be Disgraceful. CHI .'AGO.

'To yield to the demands of Great Britain In the Alaskan boundary que, tlon would be nothing short of crime," he said. "The boundary Is all one hears In Alaska. It would be disgraceful for the t'nited States to back down In the matter and allow Great Britain to hart Skaway. Skaway Is the key to all the trade In the gold regions. If we !- linv K.iK'an.l ,to have Its way In this boundary matter, we virtually turn oyer the Alaskan trade to England; we as sert our rhshts In the matter and retain Skagway w, are assured ot perpetual coirtrjl of the Alaskan trade. The trade belongs to the United States. Most of tbe miners are Americana and desire to buy American producta." THE STATEMENT DENIED. British Colonial Otlice Did Not Admit Tbait Alaskan Boundary Turned on the Ruaslau Treaty. LONDON, August 1-A few daya ago a news agency Issued a statement on the alleged authority ot the colonial of fice hire that tha Alaskan question hinged on the Interpretation of the An gto.Russlan treaty of defining the boundary and explaining Great Britain's position with considerable detail, saying; "The oala'iaJ office Is not aware that the United States offered Canada, a port on the Lynn Canal," and adding that It waa no correct to state that Lord Sal. Isbury's government waa hampered by Sir Wilfrid Laurler. i "John Anderson, C. H. G., principal clerk of Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, says no such statement has been Issued by the col onial office to the representative of the news agency and that absolutely no such particulars In regard to the Alaska ques tion have been clven to any represents, tlve of that agency whloh has therefere the authority of the British colonial of fice entirely without warrant REPUBLICANS OF IOWA State Convention Nominates a Ticket and Passes Resolutions.

COLUMBIA AGAIN LEADS. She Clearly Outdistances the Defender, But Mt With an AocMeM, Break ing Her Mast. NEWPORT. R. I., Aug. l-Durlng trial rase today between Columbia, and Defender, while off Bateman's Point tbe Columbia's ma.: broke off about SO feet ftom tbe deck. She waa dismasted and lbs sails fell In the water. A number of tugs hastened to her aMlsHaoce, At the time of the disaster she was fully mile ahead of the Defender. Never before bad the Columbia showm such superiority over the Defender aa she did In the fragment of a rave started today. Within a few minutes after tha start, she was well ahead and after that seemingly dM not try to Increase her kad. The Columbia suffered a little Injury to her bun. It Is expected she will be towed to BridtJl at once where the pine mast, which the steel one replaced. Is stored. It will take two days and per hat longer to fix the rigging and It Is considered unlikely that the two boats wai oseet again until the Nenr Tork Yacht Club's cruise next week.
