that thu latter was not affected. This

In most European r-apltalH that the Illness
of Emperor Nlchotau Is raoro serious than
It 18 reported to bo, but this Is probably
based upon knowledge that tho czur's con
stitution Is not strong, and Is llttlu likely
to resist u serious uttack.
In Copenhagen tho Illness Is attributed
to ovorwork In connection with the Chlneso

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.-Steps have been
taken for resuming tho Important work
of tho Anglo-American committed madn

Great llrltaln and Canada and considera
tion of tho fciibjcct now In progress probably
will determine within u few days what

has passed recently between Ottawa und

moro tlmo aud opportunity to devoto to
tho berlous questions Involved beforo thtu

American commissioners tlcslro to remove
tho possibility of such ItielTivlual results
lis occurred nt their last sitting. Tho Indi
cations nro that this will bo dono through
tho co-operation of tho Stato department,
by omitting tho Alaskan boundary question
irom tnoso to bo considered, thus remov
ing tho chief obstacle to progress. On tho
Alaska question tho commission waa practi
cally deadlocked nnd It mado no report on
tho progress as to other questions becauso
of Inability to includo Mils question. Slnco
then, howover, n modus vlvcndl on Alaska
has been agreed upon, nud whllo this lacks
permanency it is felt that tho question can
bo best left to direct uegotlntlons between
Mm two governments, thus permitting tho
commission to proceed with tho many other
Important questions involved. What ar
rangement can bo mado lu this particular
will depend upon tho conferences now go
ing on. Tho purpose of tho commission Is
to frjino a new treaty between tho United
States nnd Great llrltaln, covering tho
various questions nrlslug along tho Catui
