ALASKAN DISPUTE
IS POSTPONED
NEGOTIATIONS PUT OVER FOR
THE SUMMER.
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.

"It would certainly be Just as rea

the boundaiy question between the
United States and Canada again, and
declaie our dissatisfaction with the foi-ty-nlnth

that when the Hudson Hay company,
which at that tlmo was piactlcally
Canada, executed a ten-vear lease of

she Is now contending She leaded
It from Hussla and lenewed the con
