PITTSBUBG, Pa., June 4.— The argu ments of the suspended ministers on their appeals were continued when the Reformed Presbyterian synod opened its eighth day's session this morning. It is expected that the arguments will be concluded to-morrow, but no one will venture to say how much longer the trials will last. Many delegates were absent to-day, having found it impossi ble to longer attend the synod. Key. O. B. Milligan was the first to address the synod on his own behalf. When he began to speak there were calls of "Take the platform," out he refused, saying he did not want to do anything which could be construed into con tempt, but the calls became so general that he finally ascended the platform and began his argument. He denied that he had violated any law or pratice of the church, and claimed the right to express his private views. The act of the synod last year, he said, in forbid ding expression of opinions, is in viola tion of tne rights of men. it violates the right Christ gave to have and ex press views, and until the synod re scinded that action it was violating this Christ-given right. SLOW CITY, SliOW PAY. Millions of Dollars Owing: Phila- delphia for Back Taxes. Paujldelphia, June 4. — For some time past the auditors of the city con troller's office have been at work pre paring a statement oi! the taxes due to city by delinquent property owners. The statement has been completed for the years 1869 to 1880 Inclusive, and show's that the city has been carrying on its books as assets claims amounting to millions of dollais, most of which are absolutely worthless. The report states that for the years mentioned there are $413,8411.03 in taxes that are uncollect ible, and $'.»'.), 150. 00 collectible. Prior to 1869 there was no system of bookkeep ing in vogue, and the proper returns were not made to the controller. The last report of the controller showed $8,593,161.55 carried as assets under the head of "outstanding taxes for 1868 and prior years." Among the delinquent taxpayers is ex-City Treasurer Bards ley. Mr. Bardsley was a large property owner, and he figures as the city's debtor to the amount of $11,971.88. This sum is the accumulation of unpaid taxes since the year 1877.

Insurgents Surrender the Much-Wanted Craft and Her Cargo. Secret Overtures From the Insurgents Made Public at Last. The Chilian Sea Rover Will Be Returned to San Diego for Trial. Account of a Destructive Naval Battle in Valpa raiso Harbor. Washington, June 4.— The navy de partment received official information to-nijihtof the peaceful surrender of the Chilian insurgent steamer ltata at Iquique to-day. This intormation was contained in a dispatch from Acting Hear Admiral McCanu received by See rotary Tracy several hours after the regular time of closing of the depart ment. The dispatch came in cipher, and it took about three hours to trans late it, and even then there were several instances in which its contents had not been fully interpreted. In effect the dispatch stated that the ltata had ar rived at Iquique from Tocopilla last night and was placed at the disposition of Admiral McCann this morning. She had on board, the dispatch says, 5,000 rifles, and also ammunition taken from the schooner Robert and Minnie off the port of San Diego, Cal, She had no other munitions of war than those be longing to the ship, and had transferred nothing to the Esmeralda, with whon she communicated off Acapulco, Mex. After communicating with this insur gent cruiser she went to Tocooilla. Ad miral McCann says that the Charleston arrived to-day and that the Pensacola was expected before to-morrow. The ltata will be delivered to the United States court at San Diego and the proceedings against her for viola tion of the laws will be re sumed at the point where they were interrupted by the unlawful departure of the steamer, and the responsible par ties will, if they appear, also be called upon to answer the additional charge of contempt of court in runn>ng away while under injunction. Secretary Tracy gave to an Associated l'ress re porter to night the chain of circum stances that has led up to the surrender to the United States of the ltata to-day. The secretary said that the desire for" a surrender came from the leaders of the insurgent party at Iquique. Shortly after the vessel had finally escaped from the custody of the marshal at San Diego, the eovernment was informed by these leaders that they disapproved the action of the officers of the vessel, and offered through Admiral Mc- Cann to peacefully surrender her as soon as she arrived in Chilian waters'. These offers were then communicated to the department at Washington, and in due time were accepted by this gov ernment without, however, implying any recognition on the part of the United States of the insurgents as beligerents. The proposition for a peaceful surrender was pending at the time the Charleston, which was in pur suit of the itata, was at Acapulco re plenishing her diminished coal supply. As soon as the office was accosted, a telegram authorizing him to cease the chase was sent to Capt. Keiny, of the Charleston, but he had already sailed when the telegram reached Aeapulco. The fact of the ac ceptance of the offers to surrender the Itata on her araival in Chilian waters was therefore communicated to Admiral McCann, who was therefore prepared to receive the Itata on her arrival. Secre tary Tracy said that the Itata would be sent up the coast to San Diego to an swer the charges against her in court. Resume of tlic Affair. This ends a remarkable naval chase. The judicial proceedings will be watched with interest, and, as important ques tions of international law may be brought forward if the owners of the ltata insist on a full legal determination of all matters they may fairly bring up, it is likely that the case will be a celebrated one, and a prece dent that will be among the first looked up hereafter should cases arise to which the questions settled in this case will be applicable. It is live weeks since the ltata gave the court officers the slip at Sau Diego, and without waiting the ufual formalities, cleared out of the port. Saturday the second of May the treasury department in answer to an inquiry, telegraphed the collector of customs at Wilmington, Cal., that the department saw no reason to prevent the transfer of arms from the Robert and Minnie to a transport for shipment to South America. That transport was the now well-known ltata. The following clay the Chilian minister at Washington made representations to Secretary Fos ter and Attorney General Miller that the ltata was about to violate our netrality laws. At the minister's sug gestion the detention of the vessel was ordered and proceedings were insti tuted in court to libel her. A deputy marshal was put aboard the ltata to prevent her departure. Wednes nay. May 6, the Itata's commander quietly got up steam and put out of port with the deputy marshal aboard, the local pilot, it is asserted, being compelled to steer the vessel out of the harbor with a pistol pointed at his head. The deputy marshal was put ashore in safety a few miles away from San Diego. When these facts became known they created a great deal of excitement, and the officers of the government deliberated on the course to pursue. It was manifest that the United States could not permit the ltata to disobey a federal court in this summary fash ion and measures were taken to recapture her and compel an an swer to the proceedings in court. The Charleston was at Mare island and was ordered to prepare for a cruise after the fleeing insurgent craft. Sat urday, May 9, the Charleston was in readiness and put out to sea on its stern chase. The ltata by this time had a good lead, and in a few days it became evident that nothing remained but to settle down and await events. Iquique, June 4 (via Galveston).— The ltata arrived here this morning with 5,000 rifles aboard. She was im mediately surrendered to the American admirals, McCann and Brown. The commander of the ltata states that the arms were not embarked at Sau Diego, but at a point many miles at sea. The Iquique government claims that this circumstance modities the situation con siderably and will probably result in a Bpeedy solution of the difficulties be tween the admirals and the Junta. -The authorities at the 6ftme time de clare that the cargo of tne ltata is of little importance, taking into considera tion the small number of the arms. ST. PAUL, MINN., FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 5, 1891. FIERCE NAVAL. BATTLE. Account of a Sea Fight at Valpa raiso in April, j Sax Francisco, June 4.— News; of the fiercest sea fight that has taken place during the whole of the Chilian war has just been received here. It took place in the harbor :of Valparaiso on April 18 between the insurgent cruiser Magallenese and the government torpedo boats Alden, Condelle and .Lynch. Four days after the encounter between the same vessels at Channel bay, the news of which was received in New York Mon day last. After the battle, the Magalla nese decided to attack the government ships, and if possible, destroy them be fore they could, again be fitted for sea. Favored by darkness the Magallanese crept into the harbor of Valps I raiso and began the attack tl l ranging close alongside the al ready crippled Alden and tiring a broad side into her that did terrible execution. Nearly half the torpedo boat's crew were either killed or wounded, and the vessel was completely riddled. An alarm was sounded in the forts, but as the vessels lay so close together the gunners in the forts dared not fire, for fear of hitting their own vessels. Getting clear of the Alden, the Magallanese at once attacked the Lynch, but the fire was returned with interest. The smokestack of the Lynch was blown away, and , a boat containing ten men, who had been sent to try to attack the rebel vessel with a torpedo, was blown out of the water. The Condell had steamed to the' outside of the Magallanese, thus gett'ng the latter between two fires. The Ma gallanese was shot through and through. Over forty of her crew were lying dead or dying on her decks, but "her guns were untouched, and her captain made up his mind to try to better his position. Suddenly the rebel vessel began to move astern and ceased fir ing. The night being so dark the government steamers were unknow ingly firing into each other, and the CondeJl began to fill rapidly. The trick was not discovered until the Magallan ese had turned, and, steaming across the stern of the . Condell, poured in it broadside that nearly demolished the latter, dismounting every gun, and kiil lng fourteen and wounding six of the crew. The rebel steamer then started to steam out of the harbor at full speed. Every gun in the forts on shore opened on her, but only once was she struck. A heavy shell landed fairly on her deck just forward of her pivot gun and burst. The explosion tore a big hole in the i deck, the pivot guv was thrown over on its side, and four men were killed. Soon after that she was out of range of the forts, and ran up the coast to Cai dera. Over 1,400 men were killed during this fierce conflict, fully one-half of whom were on board the Magallanese. No attempt was made by the foreign war ships to stop the fight, which lasted ! rully an hour. The Gondell had to be i run on the beach to prevent her sinking, while the Alden was so badly damaged that it will take, a long time to repair her. In addition to the loss of nearly half of her crew, the Lynch lost four out of her six officers, including her commander. CALLING IX MONEY. |, National Depositaries Asked for Three Million. r" Washington, June 4.— The secre tary of the treasury to-day called upon a number of national bank depositaries, to transfer to the subtreasury a portion of the amount of public moneys held by them, and not needed for the transaction of public business. These t banks, which are mostly what is known as '•surplus" banks, had been notified by the late Secretary Windom, and had previously transferred the amount of two calls made by him. The amount to be transferred on or before June 30, 1891, under this call, is about §3,000,000. It is probable that other calls will be made from time to time on these and other national bank depositories until their holdings shhll have been reduced to about the amount needed to be kept therewith for the proper transaction of current public business.

TOOK HIS 'KIT' ALONG His Highness of Wales Always Carries a Gambling Outfit. Reluctant Testimony Against the Prince by Young Mr. Wilson Though Things Look Black, Cumming Carries a Proud Front. Sensations Enough Yester day to Satisfy the Most Fastidious. London", June 4. — The sensationa testimony given yesterday by Stanley Wilson had, if anything, whetted the appetite of high society for more pabu lum of the same scandalous sort, and earlier than usual tn-day,inside the high court of justice the same thronus were gathered, and a repetition of the now familiar scenes was witnessed. Outside the court, the scenes were of a like na ture in the fact that crowds of people assembled to see the distinguished peo ple arrive; but a heavy downpour of rain kept many of the outsiders away, and compelled those who braved the de pressing weather to keep their umbrel las hoisted throughout the morning. The lord chief justice, in order to try to make more rapid progress with the trial, by arrangement with counsel on both sides, opened the court at 10:30 a. m., instead of 11. But lone be fore the opening hour, the animated fashionables who have been in attend ance throughout the trial were in their usual places, ready for another day of baccarat revelations. The Prince of Wales, who had stayed until late in the morning at a state ball, was among the early arrivals. He was greeted by the audience rising to their feet. He bowed pleasantly, right and left, and seated himself in the familiar red velvet arm chair, ou the left of the chief justice. Shortly afterward. Sir William Gordon Cumming, dignified and appartly confi dent in spite of the general belief that the "celebrated case" was going against him, entered the court with his head erect and his Gray Eyes Flash ins Scorn in the direction of his enemies, and took his accustomed place near his counsel. The plaintiff is a much better looking man than his portraits, now in all the show windows, make him out to be. liis tanned, soldiery, features are clear and firm, and he has a mouth and chin which denote determination. The anxiety and worry which the baronet has suffered are beginning to leave their traces on his face and are shown in his weary looks and the dark circles which can be plainly noticed about his eyes. Outside of the immediate en tourage of the Prince of Wales and the Wilsons and their friends, the ladies in court now make no secret of the fact that their sympathy is with Sir William Gordon Cumming, though it is difficult for them to explain their reasons for this sympathy. Possibly the fact that " the baronet's strange actions at the Tranbycroft games of bace<trat leaked out in suite of the compact entered into between him self and thLi defendants that the affair was to be kept secret, and the utter social ruin which awaits him if unsuc cessful in the present suit, have much to do with touching the hearts of the fair dames and damsels present. It Is observable in this trial that the ladies who frequent the court room manifest a consideration for the comfort of the judge, jury and auditors which is too often lacking. Conversation ceases when the court is declared open, and not even the entrance into the room of the long-suffering social lion, Albert Ed ward, Prince of Wales, has tempted the haughty dames who have adorned the royal courts for the past several days to be guilty of the outrageous conduct which has too often in the recent past scandalized the actors, judges and clergy of London. A COOL. CUSTOMER. Young Mr. Wilson Seems Equal to Any Occasion. LoxDOX,^une 4. — On the opening of court to-day Arthur Stanley Wilson, whose imperturable, dramatic demeanor yesterday made him a sort of hero in the drama of society, was the first wit ness to be placed on the stand this morn ing. Mr. Wilson's cross-examination was thereupon continued, and com menced with a long and not very Inter esting discussion as to the positions of the tables used in playing baccarat in September at Tranbycroft. 4 o Lord Some rset.

Replying to the question of Sir Ed ward Clarke, the solicitor general, lead ing counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Wilson said: "When I gave orders to change the tables after the disclosures of the first nieht's play I was ready to stake my life that Sir William Gordon Cum niiug cheated. I and my mother sat down to play on the second night, Sept. 9, believing that the chalk line which we had marked on the tab's would pre vent any further attempt to cheat." "And not a word was said to the plaintiff about it," asked Sir Edward Clarke, in apparent surprise. "Cer tainly not," replied young Mr. Wilson sharply. "What was my word against that of Sir William Gordon Cumming?" Continuing, the witness said: "On the second night 1 first noticed that there Was something wrong with Sir William Gordon Cumming twenty minutes after the beginning of play. "Lady Coventry was sitting between the plaintiff and Gen. Owen Williams. I sat around the corner. The plaintiff did not put his hands over the line until he knew that his own side won, and then he put over a £10 counter, making his stake £15 instead of £5." "Then," asked Sir Edward Clarke, "why did 3'ou not say to Sir William Gordon Cumming: "You only staked £5." "Because there were ladles pro > cut, and it would have been an us r gentlemanly thing to have badarun before them." "And." continued the solicitor gen eral, "you went on staking your money after seeing the plaintiff cheat?" "Yes," replied Mr. Wilson, coolly. As counsel for the defendants did not show any disposition to re-examine this witness, being, it was evident, satisfied with the manner in which the young gentleman had acquitted himself ou the witness stand, a feeling which was o Prince of Wales, * ' , « o Mr. Green, V o Mr. S.

But the young gen tleman had hardly reached his seat when he was recalled to the witness box at the instance of the lord chief justice, who asked him if he (Lord Col eridge; had rightly understood him (Mr. Wilson) to say that he shared in the winnings of the plaintiff. "Certainly not, my lord," replied Mr. Wilson, sharply, almost indignantly, as a red flush crossed liis face. THE GREEN FAMELT. Lycett and His Wife Tell the Same Old Story. Londox. June 4.— Hardly had the fluttering murmurs of surprise caused by Sir Edward Clark's questioning of Lieut. Levett ceased, when Lycett Green was called to the stand. Mr. Green is a elean-dfeven young gentle man from Yorkshire, where he holds the distinguished and honorable posi tion of a "master of the hounds," and is considered a crack cross-country rider. He gave his evidence quietly, and with an air of truth, which made an impres sion upon everybody present. This witness said that he was mar ried some six years ago to the daughter ot "the elder Mr. Wilson, the father of Arthur Stanley Wilson. In substance, Mr. Green's tes timony confirmed the evidence of his brother-in-law as to the occurrence which took place at Tranbycroft in September last. The witness bad hardly commenced to triye the interesting por tion of hrs testimony, when the lord chief justice gave the signal for recess and luncheon, and, as on the previous three days of the trial, the Prince of Wale s honored Lord Coleridge. J Stiil another sensation was reserved for the fourth day's trial. Upon the re assembling of the court after luncheon, the foreman of the jury handed the lord chief justice a threatening and abusive note, which he said he had just received. Mr. Green, who had just re entered the witness box, said that he had also received a similar note. The lord chief justice read the letter handed to him by the foreman of the jury and assured him that it would receive due attention. The examination of Mr. Green was then continued. He gave a graphic description of the events which took place during the second evening's play at Tranbycroft. lie said that when he saw the plaintiff put the extra counters over the line when he (Sir William) saw a card fa vorably declared. Ins first impul-c w ..s to expose the plaintiff, but as the Prince of Wales and the ladies were present, he desisted, and and left the room. Some time later he sent a note to Mrs. Wilson saying: "1 have distinctly seen Sir William Gordon Cumming cheating twice. 1 cannot remain in the room ant longer. Something ought to be done to stop the game." Subsequently, said Mr. Greeu, he asked to be confronted with Sir William Gordon Cumming, and the latter denied liis guilt. Mr. Green was examined by Mr. Gill, who soon managed to considerably liven up the proceedings. Mr. Gill began by asking the witness a number of ques tions as to his duties on the day of the races, and witness replied in substance that they consisted in entertaining a race party. Mr. Gill thereupon re marKed that luuclieon was going on all the afternoon, perhaps. To this the witness angrily replied: "Do you hint that I was drunk?" a question which was followed by loud laughter in court and by "no, no" from Mr. Gill. The lord chief justice here again interposed, saj ing that he did not understand the drift of the cross-examination as con ducted by Mr. Gill. The latter promptly replied: "Perhaps the jury understand that there is much more in this case than is seen on the surface." Continuing, the vvituess, who h*d by this time recovered his composure, said that he had certainly not told the Prince of Wales that the plaintiff had made withdrawals of counters when the words were against him. Mr. Green also repeated his denial that an agree ment had been entered into to watch .Sir Wiiliam Gordon Cuintr.ing. He added, however: "But after having been informed that Sir William Gordon Cumming was cheating, 1 naturally looked at his play on the second night", and I was horrified at the plaintiff's acts at the card table. After this 1 avoided watching him." Mrs. Lycett Green, wife of the last witness and daughter of Arthur Wil son Sr., was the next witness called to the stand. Mrs. Lycett Green said that in ISSS Sir William Gordon Cumming dined at her house and there taught her to play baccarat. Mrs. Green explained that she had previously met the plaintiff at the house of her mother, Mrs. Arthur Wilson, and that she had intimately known a relation of Sir William Gordon Cumming, for which relation she still had a great regard. *Mrs. Green then described the positions of the baccarat players during the games Dlayed at Tranby Croft in September last, and said in reply to a question on the subject put by Sir Charles Russell, that she heard the Prince of Wales several times tell the plaintitt to put his stakes where they could be seen. Upon one of these oc casions Sir William Gordon Cumming replied, according to this witness: "It is on the paper in front of me." Mrs. Green added that she noticed that the plaintitfon the night tn question was "in luck and nothing more." The witness then save an account of the events which took place during the Continued on Fourth Pace* TO EXTEND TRADE. Secretary Blame's Negotia tions With Canada Made Public. American Convention With , Newfoundland Displeased Kaedonald, Sir Charles Tupper's Inter esting 1 Conference With , ■ !w -- . Mr. Blame The Question of Reciprocal Trade to Be Reopened in October. Ottawa, June 4.— The 'first Intelli gence of a paper dealing with the Wash ington reciprocity negotiations lias been laid before the dominion parliament. In bringing down the paper Sir John Thompson explained that he could not bring down everything, as he lias not received permission, but he expects to make the remaining documents public within a few days. The documents pre sented include the protest of the Can adian government against the projected United States treaty with Newfound land. The facts of this branch of the case are as follows: When Newfound laud negotiated the treaty Sir Julien Paunceloto cabled the colonial office that Canadian opinion of the subject be invited. Simultaneously Sir John Macdonald communicated with Sir Charles Tupper, urging him to make an objection to the convention, on the ground that it would be Injurious to Canada, and that it would violate the imperial policy of considering the At lantic fisheries in the foreign negotia tions as a whole. The result of the protest was the postponement of the Newfoundland treaty, and the endeavor to make a bargain for Canada. The letters which indicate the attitude of Air. Blame toward Canada's proposal are missing. For the publication of these, permission has not yet been ob tained. Ono Interesting Communication is dated .lan 28, and Is addressed by Lord Knutsford, colonial secretary. In it it says: "The Newfoundland minis ters inform me they are willing to ne gotiate for an arrangement wtth Canada on a basis similar to that of the proposed convention with the United States. Ber majesty's government strongly hopes that yonr government will on this un derstanding withdraw opposition to the ratification of a treaty between New foundland and tlie United States." The reply to this, if there v.as any, is not given. The documents then deal with the missions to Washington last April. First conies a letter dated .March 2(». from Sir Julien Pauucefote to Lord Stan ley,stating he had Been Secretary Blame with a view to inquiring whin would be the most convenient time for the Cana dian delegates to come, to Washington. Mr. Biaiue informed him that he would send a written reply. This reply is not included in the correspondence. There is triven, however, a letter from Mr. Blame dated April »;, touching the re sumption of negotiations which the Canadian ministers were unable to carry on with the secretary of state on the occasion of their visit to Washing ton, and fixing Oct. 12 as the date for resuming negotiations. The most Im portant communications are the re ports by Sir Charles Tupper in com pany with Sir JulUin Pauncefote, and his second interview on the occasion of his return to Washington in company with Sir John Thompson and Mr. Foster. The first <>f these reports is addressed to Sir John Macdonald. Tupper gives the details of his arrival in Washington, and of his admittance with Pauncefote to nn audience with Mr. Blame, and then describes the talk thus: "1 told Mr. Blame that I wished at the outsot to recognize the accuracy of the statement contained in his letter to Sir Julian Pauncefote which I hud seen In reference to the invitation to open negotiations regarding Keflprooal Trade Arrangements between the two countries; that 1 be lieve that it arose from negotiations which had recently taken place between the United States" and Newfoundland, and also expressed the wish that Cana da be included in the arrangement, and that, upon that being communicated to him by Sir Julian Pauncefote, he had expressed his willingness to open nego tiations for reciprocal trade arrange ments between Canada and the United States, assisted by delegates from the dominion government, the negotiations to be informal and. to a certain extent, of a confidential nature until they could assume a more formal character, if any result were arrived at. Mr. Blame said he had understood Canada had taken some exception to the proposed arrangement with the United states by Newfoundland. I admitted that such was the case and that 1 had ex plained to her majesty's government that in connection with the question of the fishery, Newfoundland and Can ada had always been insepara ble; that the ratification of the treaty of 1888 met the approval of Newfoundland and that there appeared to be great objections on many accounts to the interests in volved. Mr. Blame asked me what was the reason Newfoundland had not be come part of the Canadian confedera tion. I replied that in addition to its being somewhat more remote the diffi culty was that whiclLjiad been experi enced, notably in th<rUnited States and British North American provinces, of the reluctance of a small autonomus government to giving up its affairs to a larsrer body, when it might possibly be overruled. 1 added that but for the addi tion of the treaty of 1854 I did not believe that it would have been possible to have carried the confederation in Nova Scotia. I then told Mr. Blame that I wished to remove the idea, if he entertained it, which had been promot ed in Canada and the United States, that the present government of the do minion was not warmly in favor of the Itfost Friendly Relations with the United States. In a note wbicb i had recently sent, I had under taken to give conclusive evidence upon that point, and that I need further ouly refer him to the iaet that when Sir John Macdonald. who was one of her majesty's high commissioners, submitted to par liament for approval the Alabama treaty which settled all the then pending ques tions between Canada and the United State.", he was fiercely denounced by the leaders and press of the Liberal party for having basely sacrificed the interests of Canada in his endeavors to promote friendly relations between Can ada and the United States. I added that I had experienced the same treatment from the same party when 1 sub mitted for the approval of parlia ment the treaty of Washington in IC" 0F ADVERTISING,- COME ■ ™ IS AND LET GIVE \Sf\ ! 9 the GLOBE YOU SOME I KJ U GOOD PRACTICAL -i- II I |y| |^ SUGGESTIONS. I if I I>i|X NO. 150. IS 1388. I was then charged by the. press of the party with having conceded! everything to the United States and ob tained nothing in return. 1 said that oC course, in IsSO. and subsequently in.: 1885, when the treaties which gave to the I nited States fisherman a common' right with our own fishermen were ab rogated in consideration of the action) Of the I nited States fishermen, we wen* thrown upon the treaty of 1*18; but E said that the statemeats that Canada had then resorted to a harsh construe* tion of the treaty of 1818, with the olx ject of promoting freer trade rela tions with tne United States was erroneous; that wo were compelleJ in justice to the rights of our own fish* erinen, who were met with hign duties in the United Slates market, to protect them. \\ c were attacked by the press of the opposition for not maintaining) our rights more thoroughly. Mr. Blainat desired to assure me that outside of am individual difference of opinion thera was no interest taken by the members of congress of the United States In thg recent Canadian election. Continuing- I said that Canada was most anxious ta" have tin.; heest and most friendly rela tion with the United States consistent with the interest of both countries, t had only to repeat that Sir John Mac- j donald and the party which sustained him had the strongest desire to Promote Reciprocal Trade "• between the two countries and their hopes In that direction were greatly , strengthened by the decided measured which Mr. Blame has taken to promote reciprocal trade with other countries, 1 and that l could not see why he could not, with great advantage to the United .states, as well as to Canada, extend to the north the same policy he had pur*! sued with the countries south, whose trade was very much smaller than that between the dominion and tha United States. 1 said that the' fact that he had expressed! his readiness to receive represen tations that Canada wished to make would show that he was quite open to consider that question. I was further, strengthened in my views, 1 added, by the disposition lie had shown to make"' reciprocal arrangements with the col- 1 ony of Newfoundland. Some question' then arose between Sir Julian Paunce fote and Mr. Blame as to the Bond ne gotiations. Sir Julian explained that) Mr. Bond had no authority to negotiate^ in any other way than through him ' and that Mr. Bond's last negotiations' were entirely irregular and without? authority. Mr. Blame said that II did not appear necessary to negotiate any treaty with Newfoundland, as that colony had expressed its readiness ta give the United States the privileged they enjoyed by their own action, and that they proposed not only to give bail to United States fishermen, but also id give the same privilege to Canada. 1 told Mr.Blame that the bait act in New« foundland had received the assent ol her majesty upon the distinct pledge ol air Ambrose Shea, then premier ol Newfoundland, that Canadian vessels would not be affected by it. L added that her majesty had power ta disallow any bill that might be passed upon the subject by the colony. I told Mr. Blame that Sir John Macdonnld had understood that Mr. Blame had not been well, and that Sir John had sug gusted that it might be. more convenient to Mr. Blame to take up the-considera tion of these questions at a later period, and that, pending consideration of these questions at a later period, the Domin ion parliament would be asked to cou* tinue the modus Vivendi. <^B> , A SAM) BANK.
