As a Senator and as a member of the high joint commission, bis conclusions, after his investigation in Alaska, are of a highly important character. The Senator reported the situation with respect to the miners as satiafactory, but he has changâ€" od bis view matcrially with respect to the disputed territory, and now holds that it is to the interest of this Governâ€" ment, as well as to the inbabitants of the territory, to maintain its position.

The Senator had another conference with Secretary Hay yesterday morning and also called at the War vepartment. Notwithstanding a rapid exchange of telegrams during the day between Senaâ€" tor Fairbanks in this city and Sir Wilfrid Laurier in Ottawa, at the cluse of office hours no arrangement bad been reached as to the postponement of the meeting of the joint high commission. Some interest attaches to this apparent transfer of the negotlations from the hands of Mr. Choate and Lord Salispury in London, to Senator Fairbanks and Sir Wilfrid Laurier on this side,. and perbaps it is this change in the personslity of the negotiations that has given rise to the renewed hope of a reassembling of the commission. 3 The President‘s Heply.

The division was on party lines, with the exception that Messrs, McCarthy, Stubbs and Rogers voted against the Government. The vote simply means that the memâ€" bers of the Senate hold that the Commons of Canada are not competent to regulate their own affairs.
