Object of tho Port Lynn Canal Offer, Probability of a Satlsfactoiy Set tlement in tho Fall Views of Sen ator Perkins. Washington, July 27. The British embassy has been removed to Newport for the summer, and the negotiations regal ding the Alaskan boundary will be suspended until fall The offer made by the Hrltlsh cbnigp d'nilaltes to take up fot consideration the propo sition to give Canada the ure of a port on Lynn Canal seems to have been a purely diplomatic move. Its purpose was to keep life In the negotiations and prevent their lapsing. Appaicntly the Hrltlsh offer was piompted by tho bellicose talk In the Canadian house which, without speedy action of some kind, might hnve led to strained rela tb ns. The offer was an eainwt of tlie deep desire of the home government to leach a satisfactory adjustment without legurd to colonial petulance This a.surance hav leg been given, the negotiations may safely be waived for a few weeks or even months. Thera w III be no danger of a permanent break so long as this proposition lemalns open to discussion It is not neces sary evn to look foiwnrd confidently to an adiiistment on the basis of a flee pott The final igiecmcnt, which It Is believed Is sure to come, may hi constituted on an altogether different foundation Oieat Britain having one rejected the pioposltlon, now comes forwaid with an offer to consider it. Sallbuiy takes this method of letting our state dep irtment understand that, however Ineconcllable the American and Canadian positions m ty have seemed, there is no good reason to de spair of an agi cement points once np pntentlj detei mined may again become the subject of discussion. The nego tiations mav go on until they discover a successful Isfiie. Talk at Ottawa. Great Rritaln evidently takes no more stock in the bellicose talk at Ottawa than does the United States, and, as Oieat Hiltaln will ultimately be called on to make good the Canadians' words, it Is of a gieat deal more Importance to maintain agreeable telations with Fallshut that with Lauiler. A high state department official said toda that he believed a satisfactory nirangement would be made after the close of the summer vacation Hefoie the return of the Hrltlsh embassv to Washington nothing need be expect 1.
