TO TAKE , UP RECIPROCITY Negotiations Will Be Besomed by two of the Delegation/ TO DISCUSS FISHERIES CASE Minister of Railways Graham Will Go Over Transportation Matters With Chairman Knapp. W. S. FIELDING. Six members of the Canadian cabinet arrived in this city this afternoon on various missions. Only two are author* iaed to participate in reciprocity negotia tions, but It Is probable that the others will be kept informed as to the progress of the negotiations, and their advice sought and acted upon. The members of the cabinet to resume the reciprocity negotiations arc William Patterson, minister of customs, and W. S. Fielding, minister of finance. The other Canadian ministers who have come to Washington are It. P. Brodeur, minister of marine and fisheries; Sir A. B. Ayles worth. minister of justice; George P. Graham, minister of railways, and W. MacKenzie King, minister of labor. Sir Aylesworth and Messrs. Brodeur, Graham and King each has a mission in connection with his own department, but it Is generally recognized here that the importance of the reciprocity negotia tions furnishes a most valid reason for their simultaneous presence in Washing ton. To Take Up Other Matters. Mr. Graham will confer with Chairman Knapp of the Interstate commerce com mission and Judge Mabee, chairman of the Canadian railway commission, now in Washington, while Mr. Brodeur and Sir A. B. Aylesworth will confer with Am bassador Bryce in connection with the award of The Hague tribunal in the north Atlantic fisheries case. Mr. King will address the Civic Federation. The representatives of the Gloucester fishing interests who have been in Wash ington conferrtng with the officials of the State Department upon the Newfound land fishery regulations have completed their work and returned to Massachu setts. Chandler Anderson, counselor of the State Department, who is charged with the adjustment of this matter, has now secured a complete understanding of the objections of the American fishermen to the existing fishery regulations and is now prepared to confer with Piemier Morris and Attorney General Morrison of Newfoundland when they appear at the department by appointment tomorrow for that purpose. As Canada Views It. OTTAWA, Ontario, January 6.?Large ly as a result of President Taft's atten tion to the duties of good neighborhood there was an interesting and unusual spectacle here yesterday of Canadian cabinet ministers leaving for Washing ton. Two of them were W. S. Fielding, minister of finance, and William Pater son, minister of customs, who go to re sume, and, it is hoped, conclude the reci procity negotiations which have been in termittent for nine months. Others were Sir Alan Aylesworth, minister of justice, and L. P. Brpdeur, minister of marine and fisheries, who will meet representa tives of the United States and Newfound land in an effort to cap The Hague ver ujoi in tlie naileries dispute by an agree ment on regulations for th?\ industry m Canadian and Newfoundland waters. One year ago such an excursion would have been impossible, so completely had Canadians relinquished expectations ot better trade relations with the United States. The reciprocity exchanges will be resumed where they were left off last November, when the late Henry M. lloyt, Charles M. I epper and Consul General J. G. Foster acted as the Ameri can commissioners here. While the details of that conference aie confidential, it may be stated that the proposals made by the Americans were broad and liberal, offering a large advan tage in the United States market for Ca nadian farm products. One need nut be in the full confidence of the negotiators to know that Canada's advtange lies largely in a wider market lor natural products. Object of United States. The object of the United States is a larger sale of manufactures to Canada. The Laurter government Is torn between the farmers, who want a large measure of reciprocal free trade with the United States in pioducts which they consume and sell, and manufacturers, who dread any tariff cut on manufactured articles,, Indications are that, the Canadian envoys will attempt a middle course. The farmei-3* delegation, which recently Invaded Ottawa, demanded, so far as the United States was concerned, reciprocal free trade in agricultural machinery, im plements, venicles and their parts, in all horticultural, agricultural and animal produtcs, spraying materials, fertilizers, fuel, illuminating and lubricating oils, cement, flsli and iumber. Fish offers a fair promise of .some agreement. Massachusetts is so keen for better trade relations wtili Canada that the Gloucester fishing interests, It is hoped, will abate the hostility hitherto displayed at any prospective reduction of the Americaa fish tariff. CULEBRA CUT SUDES OVER. Eock Is Bare Now, and All the Clay Has Fallen. The canal workers on the isthmus be lieve they see the end of the great earth slides in the Culebra cut. These slides began In April, 1908. With periods of quiescence, they have been occurring ever since. December 4 last there was a heavy slide at Lies Cascadas. A much larger break occurred December 13, before the material from the first break had been gotten out of the way. This last slide, which wiped out the' railroad tracks and half-filled the canal prism, increased the total amount of earth which has descended from the heights In the cut to seven and a half acres. Most of the stuff was pure red clay, though there was some rock. The whole slid on a rock foundation with a pitch of one in six feet. One hundred and fifty thousand yards |s expected to be added to this, which *U1 complete the slide. :: ?? :: :: s Great Semi-Annual Clearance Sale.

A story that lias been going tlie rounds : for the last few days to the effect that the secret service of the Treasury De partment is to be merged with the special investigating division of the Department i of Justice was denied by officials of both departments today. It is pointed out that such a consolida- j tion could be effected only by an act of Congress, and no such recommendations were contained in the estimates for ap propriations forwarded to Confress by the Attorney General. Has a Strong Force. While the Department, of Justice has built up a strong force of special agents and investigators, who are constantly at work in all sections of the country, the secret service men under Chief YVilkie of the Treasury Department have been called upon to aid Mr. Wickersham's agents in several cases. This co-operation is believed to have caused the circulation of rumors of a consolidation. Work of Treasury Service. A prominent secret service official today declared such a union impossible, and pointed out that his bureau now confines its optartions to the apprehension of counterfeiters -and to the protection of 1 the President. The agents of the Department of Justice gather evidence upon which prosecution of combinations in restraint of trade are based, although crusades against bucket shop operators and violators of the white 1 >ve law have been inaugurated by these men. ??' ? .

LESS GOLD MINED. World's Production for Lafet Yea* Shows Decrease. Production of gold fell ofT all over the world during 1910, according to a prelim inary estimate prepared by George E. Roberts, director of the mint. Mr. Rob erts is of the opinion that any possibility of an embarrassing over supply of gold with the attendant rise In prices which economists predicted to go with it, has been passed. More than $96,000,000 in gold was mined in the United States during the year. Africa led the world with more than J175,000,000. Australia was third, with $65,000,000. California regained first place among the gold-producing states, which she had CULEBKA SLIDES ABOUT OVER. Encouraging Report Received by Isthmian Canal Commission.
