convoyed to Pckln with great ccermony , and
recently the emperor of China has returned
the compliment by decorating the emperor
of Japan with iho highest order of China.
A similar fiplrlt was shown on the death
of the field marshal of the Japanese army ,

NCUOf Illtloltft ,
NEW Y011K , July 27. A special to the
Herald from Ottawa says : Sir Wilfrid
LaurJcr. the Canadian premier , stated today
to the Herald In explanation of the conten
tion of Canada In the Alaskan boundary
question :
"As a member of the commlfslon and
participant In the negotiations , " he said , "I
am not at 'liberty ' to glvo to the public any
more thnn I have done already of Information
bearing on the difference between us and
tha United States. I think 1 can nay this
much In explanation , however : 1'rnctlcally
the whole dispute now Is clrcumscrlbnble to
the establishment of the boundary line In
the region of Lynn canal. The public li
aware that the Canadian contention Is thnt
the line crosses the Lynn cannl near Its en
trance , whereas the American contention Is
tlmt the line goes around the Lynn cnnal
leaving the entire canal In American terri
tory ,
"If the contention were reduced to the
exact location of the line , I think the solu
tion might provo to bo of comparative ease
But the Americans have establishments at
Skagway and Talya. In our view , the
Americans at that point arc on Drltlah terri
tory , but wo have to recognize the fact that
tney nro tnoro all the same.
"At ono tlmo we thought we could havi
made the compromise and arranged tha
boundary by conventional agreement am
mutual concessions. I am betraying in
secret when I say that the commission couli
not agree on such a compromise. There
fore , asvo cannot agree among ourselves
wo must ask the assistance of friendly nrbl
tratora. The points to be submitted to thi
arbitrators mght ( bo the following :
" 1. Which Is the right Interpretation o
the treaty In regard to the location of the
boundary line on the Lynn canal ? Is 1
the Canadian or the American contention ?
" 2. In the event of arbitrators decfarlnf
that the Canadian contention Is the right
one. then the subsidiary consideration
would have to bo decided , what dlsposltlor
shall bp made of Talya and Skagwny , whlcl
are American settlements ?
"Wo think that the Venezuelan territory
otters a precedent for the solution of thai
question. I am aware that the American au
thorltlco contend that there IB n different
between the Venezuelan precedent and th <
ono to be disposed of In this , that , ns thej
allege , Canada never nrotested against thi
American occupation of Skagway and Talya
"Wo do not admit this contention In polnl
of fact. But , even If It were founded on fact
the arbitrators would have to consider whal
equities might arlso therefrom and dccldt
accordingly. Though I have strong views or
this point myself , for obvious reasons I re
frain from expressing them. "
"In case this matter cannot he submitted
to arbitration , is Canada In favor of set
tling It by warV" Sir Wilfrid was asked.
"Nobody wants war , " he replied quickly ,
"I distinctly said , when I called attention to
the fact , that the negotiations had failed
and that the question could only be set
tled by arbitration or war , that war was out
of the question and not to bo thought of. I
will go further and say that war over this
or any other question would bo criminal.
"Wo ought to have the most cordial Inter-
couree and the closest : commertlal relations
with the United' ' States ! we tKIJik"rwe ilo' '
always get them. Wo think \ve do'not'al
ways get commercial justice. Though a
small nation , wo buy more from you than
you buy from us. But some day we will
turn the tables on you and will get the best
of the bargain , and that Is all the revenge
wo want from you. "

FORT DK FRANCE , July 27 A financial
crlela haying arisen In San Domingo and
an Insurrection being reared owing to the
number of malcontents , President Hcureaux
wtnt to the north and west of the Island to
prepare for all eventualities. He was about
to leave Moca for Santiago de las Caberallas
when he was killed. Booted and spurred ,
rdady to mount his horse , he sat under the
gallery of a house In the Rue Cofon talking
with two friends at 4:30 : In the afternoon ,
when an old man approached to ask for
alms. Just as the president gave the old
man some money , Caceros , the assassin ,
rilshed forward quickly and flred twlco from
his revolver. Ono bullet struck the heart of
the president , killing him Instantly , and th *
other killed the old man by his side.
The crime was committed so rapidly that
the friends of the president were not able to
Interfere In time to prevent It , tout they
fired a number of shots at Caceros , who ran
away , accompanied by several persons. The
assassin's party returned the fire of the
president's friends and Caceros escaped.
It Is not known whether hewas wounded
or not. The "authorities Immediately sent
lroop 'to pursue him. Thfbody of President
> Hourea\ix" > ' "as'taken to "the-iibuee'of the
govcrnbr 61 'Moca. The n'ews of the pre'sl-
flent'a death spread rapidly and caused much
emotion among the Inhabitants of the
Islands. It Is believed by many that the
murder was the result of a political con
spiracy.
Vice President Flgue has taken precau-
.lona' to preVent disorder and has taken com
mand of the troops to that end , but up to the
present all Is quiet.
AmmHfllnntloit n I'olltlcnl Crime.
The bodv of President Heureaux has been
akcn to Santiago dc las Cabalero * . The
nresldent's widow has requested that the
> ody be transported by railway to Porto
'lata and from there to Santo Domingo by
ea , but the governor of Santiago fears dis
order It the body should bo removed from
here by train.
Tno governor of Santiago confirm * the
general opinion that the assassination of
'resident Heureaux was a political crime. It
s reported that the assassin's party Is
gathering forces preparatory to an attack
n the government troops.
It has been learned that Cacero's com-
mnlons when President Hcurcaux was
tilled were Juan Plcharde and Horaclo Va-
uez. The latter Is a brother of a. deputy
n Parliament.
PORTO PLATA , July 27. President

Enemies of the government arc trying to
Isturb the peace. General Wensalao Fl-
uoreo , who succeeds to the vice presidency ,
will continue the plan of retiring paper
money.
President Heureaux went to Moca attended
y only six persons.
TREATY IS A FRIENDLY TIE
Sxtrnetn from French Trex * Show
Ilejolclnic nt Coninmmntlon of
Reciprocity ArraiiRcmcnt.
PARIS , July 27. The Temps In an article
rlntexl today expresses the belief that fuller
Ight upon the Franco-American treaty would
ot be superfluous , adding ;
"What Is known , however. Is sufficient to
auae rejoicing at the rapprochement of
which It Is a testimony. The interests of
10 United States and France are far from
elne as Irreconcilable ns some have been
rylng to show , but are In reality easily
djiisted. The United States furnishes raw
roducts and we return manufactures. Op-
mncntu of the treaty think this will be re
versed and that France will bo Inundated
with American manufactures , but the facts
o not justify their fears , "
An unofflcltl note published tonight nays :
"The evening papers for some days have
been carrying on a vlgoroun campaign against
the granting of a minimum tariff to Araer-
can leather. U Is quite true that M.
lellno'g cabinet offered minimum rates on
merlcan leather , but the pretent cabinet
Id not maintain the concecilon In tbo
recent convention and American leather Is
still subject to general rates. "
The Journal dea Dcbata sa > e :
"The thousand personal relations which
esult from business relations are a precious
Icdfee for good understanding between
icoplcs and It would Indeed be a singular
leana of remaining friends with n nation
hose policy Is becoming more and more
ctlve and Interesting to refuse to remove
ur-barriers when she la disposed to open
hers and defend ourselves against her by a
Chinese wall. The convention appears to be
a good piece of bualnets from all points of
YleV. "
