Married Sixty-IVine Year*. *j»0'v"A 'USE FEIICt" Isthmian Canat Question Being Settled John Bull Wants to Tackle Boundaries. ALASKA BEING THE FIRST IN 0BDER Washington, Dec. 30.—It is expect ed that efforts will be renewed before long for the settlement of the numer ous controversies which have long ex isted between the United States and Great Britain growing out of relations along the Canadian border, the Atlan tic fisheries, warships on the great lakes, the Alaskan boundary, and other qestions. Heretofore the negotiations ftoui the thickets. A severe liand-to- designed to secure a fcttlenient of the hand fight ensued. I ma The following casualties occurred: A Killed—Sergeant John P. Swisher, Corporal James Gnughan, Privates John Maren, Frank McAndrew, Joseph A. Weippert and George Bedford. Wounded—Captain SclioelTel. slightly Corporal John IT. ^ussell and Privates Daniel L. McPherson and George Clax ton, severely Arthur lionnieastle, slightly. One other killed, one wound ed names later. The enemy was driv en from the field and lost, severely." tters recited have not proved effec- 1 tive, largely because of the cumber some machinery of negotiation and this has led to a belief that much more could'be accomplished by direct nego tiations between Secretary Hay and Lord Pauneefotc on the main points, aud the subsequent assembling of a commission representing the United States, Great Britain and Canada to give form to the basis of agreement rendered. tVimta to Tackle Alaska Next. Now that the British government has yielded the Clayton-Buhver treaty and other points in the isthmian nego tiatlon it desires to take up some'of the other questions In which It has important interests involved. Lord Pauncefote desires to clear up all pending differences and have a "clean slate" before Ills present term as am bassador comes to a close. When he, entile'to Washington there were foiir threat Issues between the two govern ments. Tlietarst of these Wfts the., Bering jwa controversy, which had readied an acute stage. Diplomacy disposed of tills issue. The second is sue 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 on the isthmian canal, which lias been satisfactorily disposed of by. the recent ITav-Pnuncefote trwitv. recent Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Only One IHHUO NOW Remain*.' This leaves only one issue remaining in order to bring about the "clean slate," namely, the border controversy, both as to Canada and Alaska. The British officials usually link these var ious boundary controversies together, as they are more or less connected. At present a modus vivendl exists as to the Alaskan boundary, chiefly for the purpose of avoiding a clash along the border and holding each side in check until a final boundary is determined upou. It seems to be conceded on both sides that the modus cannot be carried on indefinitely, and that sooner or lat er the main question of establishing a permanent boundary must be settled. Lord Lausdowne's desire to take up the question was expressed clearly in .his note to Secretary Hay last spring, when the British government declined to accept the senate amendment to the first Hay-Pauncefote treaty, and he has recently expressed a similar desire.
