Ware it not for the citrcmt friendliness now existing between the UtUUd States and Great Britain. the Alaska boundiT dispute would be regarded tiere aa a serious complication, and tba rumors of Its tentative settlement are hailed with delight. It Is learned from a good source that the tentative agreement provide for Canada having free porta on the Lynn' Canal -and pyramid Harbo, but without entailing any recognition by the Americana of sovereignty. This Is -to bo la force until the boundary line la adjusted, the United States Government adberior to Ita claim that It must me delimitated from mountain top to mountain top.

It was also said- that three proposals would all be submitted to the Canadian MlnUter of Marine and Fisheries, sir Louie upon his arrival here, and that tna Foreign Ulrica ho pen be will eonatUar them favorably. Until he accepts, It was alii, the terms enumerated have no more signlncanre than the friendly suggestions e( any third party anxious to settle a dispute. Ki-Conrrewmin James H.

Lewis arrived here this week, and on Friday presented hla credentials at the United States Km-itMy. Mr. Lewis Is here to press the claims for compensation to the American miners who were evicted in the At! In district of the Northwest Territory by the Canadian (government. The matter of the American miners' claims against Canada has already been taken up, but no action will be taken until the arrival of Blr L. H.

Davtes. the Cana-dlan Minister of Marine and Fisheries, who coming here to present the other side of the case. By that time United States Ambassador t'hoate will have had the briefs of Mr. Lewis under consideration. The lawyer urges that the claims be Included In the general arbitration by the High Commission.

Minister Davles will object to this, maintaining that mirh methods will obstruct the boundary solution. Mr. Lewie, when Interviewed to-day, said: I hope the claim, will ha arhltratat through a commission appointed for that purpiee by the Joint High Commission.

She enjoyed the homeward trip across the Atlantic, although ahe remained In her stateroom on the promenade deck most of the time. She was not sick during the voyage, and her general health, aha assured her friends, waa never better, Richard Dorney, formerly business man ager of Valy'a Theatre, and for many years a personal Yriend of Miss Rehan. went down the Bay on the revenue cutter yesterday morning and boarded tha Urnbrla at Quar He escorted miss Rehan down tne gangway to the Cunard tler and sent her In a carriage to her home.

On her heait waa ri'nm 1 tnrhan of brown material, and over that was drawn a veil, which partly concealed her features.

Her skin bore abundant evidence of ex posure to the sun. and waa likewise ap parent that she had gained In weight since departure rrom New York last May, Her hair, too. waa streaked with silver. al mougn mere was nomine in ner erect ng ure suggestive of advancing aaa. When approached on the subject of her plane for the future, Miss Rehan referred al Inquirers to Mr, Dorney.

She declined lp make any statements personally. Mr. porney said that It had been settled that he would be Miss Rehsn's manager, and that ahe would Matar" durlnar tha rnmlna- theatrical season. Beyond these points, he declared, nothing had been settled. Within neat lew nays it la expected tnat the general plan of Miss Rehan'e season will be arranged.

I cannot toll Hiat now whether Mlsa Rehan will open In New York or In some other large city." aald Mr. Dorney. "That matter, as well as the details of Setting a company together, will be attend- ed to hereafter. Miss Rehan hop brought home two new plays, but they ari not now In shape to be JlllUl or dlcus5rpubllcly. She will oe able to start out with the nine 'reductions which ahe tskes over1 from Da-, y's Theatre.

Ev erythlng pertaining to the disposition of Mr. Daly's e.tate will ha aettled amicably. There will be no trouble of any kind.

I have heard that Arthur Urhan started some talk about Miss Rehan being dissatlafled. but there Is nothing fn that." Has Miss Rehan any Idea of Joining iorces witn men ara nian.neiu mis season or at any future timet I think not. That matter waa broached to ma before I had a-acertalned what Mls Rehan's Intentions were. Nothing of the Kind will be none thla season, at any rate. Miss Rehan will 'star' independently, and ene sava that she never fit in better con dl'lon for work than she does now." During her oJ urn In Cumberlandshlre Miss Rehan became an Inveterate wheel-woman, fhe explored the country for miles around and took many long runs, accom panted by trusted attendants.

While standing- In front of the Fifth Ave nue Hotel early this morning, JVilIceraan Bchaaberger of the West Thirtieth Street Station was surprised to see a cab coming through Madison Square Park toward him. 1 The policeman ran toward the approaching cab and made several attempts to atop the horse, but without avail. He then got at the rear of the vehicle, and after following It around the park aeveral times, waa rewarded by seeing the driver get his cab fast between two trees. The policeman then ordered the driver to come down from his high aeat, and received In exchange several blows about tne neaa and face from the wnip. Tha man was, however, arrested and taken to the station house, where he said he is Edward Crowley, forty-seven years old, of 7S2 Greenwich Street.

Maeans and BfcOwen Final for Control In tbo Thirty-fourth. There Is a lively contest for the Tammany leadership in the northern half of the Thirty-fourth Assembly District.

Aa yet neither of the contestants knowa where he la at" so far ss the favor of Richard Croker goes, although one ol them mado a trip to London for th purpose of asking the Tammany boss for hla aid. Instead of getting what he desired, he received word that handa off was the order of the day, and that if members of the organisation in any district wanted a change, they would have a fair field and no favor, so far as Fourteenth Street la concerned. The Thirty-fourth Assembly District Is divided Into two parts by tha Harlem River. In the northern, or Bronx, section, with which thla story has to do. the present leader Is August Moebus, Park Commissioner for the Borough of the Bronx, and the contestant Is Anthony McOwen, the Coroner of the borough.

As far as can be learned, the dispute began a year ago, when the Seneca Club, the Tammany district organisation, gave a chowder at College Point. McOwen la the President of the club, and his friends say that hia success has created so much Jealousy In the heart of Moebus that the latter has charged the Coroner with all so.ts of mean things. Including self-seeking to the detriment of tha organisation. On tne other hand, McOwen claims that Moebus has turned down his opponent' friends and made himself generally obnoxioua by his antagonism to thAboutthree weeka ago MoOwen "tnpe from Europe, where he says he celled on Mr. Croker and learned that the Tammany leader would not take any hajnd In the tight.

Instead, it is said. Mr. Croker haa indorsed percival E. Nagle. the leader In the southern half of the aistrict with power to represent him at the fight on Sept.
