Alaskan Boundary Dispute to be Heard in London
Three pairs of negotiators from the United States and Great Britain will meet in London this spring to seek agreement on the Alaskan boundary dispute. The United States names Secretary of War Elihu Root, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, and Senator George Turner. John W. Foster will prepare the American case, aided by Hubert Lansing. The talks cover mapping the maritime boundary from Mount St Elias to British Columbia and whether to measure from the water or from outer coast islands.

Irish Land Question Brings Landmark Agreement in Dublin
The Irish land conference at Dublin yields broad agreement among Nationalists, Unionists, landlords and tenants. Leaders like Duke of Abercorn and John Redmond urge a Wyndham bill aligned with conference recommendations. Aims include fair land purchase, landlord residency, state aid for buyers, evicted tenants, and housing for workers. The plan envisions transferring holdings to tenants with government incentives and may cost about 3.5 million annually, with potential long term savings. Redmond argues landlords are serious and the bill could advance home rule and local governance.

Archduke Leopold Ferdinand, brother of Saxony’s former crown princess, intends to join the United States Navy seeking a fresh start after renouncing his birth country. He would need promotion and naval training to advance beyond the entry level, and his move follows a love-related motive to redefine his status and marriage prospects while pursuing citizenship.
