Canadian Views. -
OTTAWA, May HIN the House last night
it was stated thatth home and Dominion
governments had correspondent on interests
involved in the question of the San Juan
boundary, which has been referred to the
Empress Of Germany. An elaborate state
ment has been prepared by the British Co
lumbar Government and sent to England,
and has been incorporated in the case.
The debate was resumed on the Wash
ington treaty. Mr.. Mills ssid he did not
believe peace endangered if the treaty was
destroyed.
Sir A. 7. Gait said England should not
be weakened in the controversy by re-
fusal of Canada to consent to that portion
of the treaty submitted to the Dominion.
The alternative had been offered to Canada
of compliance in the treaty or separation
from England. He argued that peace with
the United States was a necessity to En-
gland. He believed every concession to
the United States was a step toward an
nexation. He favored the independence of
Canada as means of preventing annexa-
ton, and thought the position of the De-
minion was one of weakness to England.
He believed peace would be endangered if
the treaty was rejected, and in loyalty TO
Great Britain they should accept the treaty.
The Hon. Mr.. Macdonald stated that no
pressure had been used by the home gov
ernment or Canada and disclaimed all re-
sponsibilities for the utterances of Mr.. Gait
who was not member of the admhistra-
ton.
Religious Views.
New YORK, May lin the Methodist
Conference to-day addresses were made by
Rev. Drs. Sutherland, of Canada, and Rev.
Henry Pope, of Eastern British America,
The former expressed the hope that such a
calamity between England and America
would always be prevented by the Chris
tan sentiment of America, and the latter
said he would rejoice if the Dominion and
the United States were incorporated as one
nation.

hibtting the presence or use of troops at
any election unless when necessary to repel
armed enemies of the United States, or to
maintain the peace at the polls when it can
not otherwise be maintained.
Mr.. Morton said he hoped the amend
ment would be rejected.
Mr.. CasseIly said he had been prompted
to offer the amendment by a recent occur
renee in an election at the navy yard on
Mare Island-occurrences which, if as re-
ported, ought to bring the blush to the
cheek Of every man who had the least re-
gard for free institutions.

Mr.. Dawes renewed his motion 10 close
the debate on the first section of the tariff
bill, reducing the time from ten minutes to
one minute, and it was agreed to.
The Pension bill coming up, Mr.. Roose-
welt moved a pToviSo that
widows
shall not lose their pensions by marrying
again, and spoke of the philosophy of en-
couraging rather than discOuraging mar
riages, whether in maids or widows. The
amendment was rejected by 81 TO 81.
Mr.. Wheeler moved as an amendment
that whenever a widow shall forfeit her
pension on account of re-marriage it will
revive on her again becoming a widow if
she be in INDECENT circumstances. Agrees
to by 70 to 50.

| from the variety of amendments offered,
| the committee rose and Mr.. Dawes moved
| that the whole of the second section, en-
! bracing everything that comes under ten
| per cent. reduction, be treated as a single
| paragraph so as to limit the power of
amendment. That was agreed to and the
| House went into committee.
Mr.. Cox moved to make a reduction OF
20 per cent of the present duties. Rejected.
Mr.. Kerr moved to make reduction of
Is per cent. The present tariff rates were
adjusted not on any principle but as mere
jobs. Still he would rather have a reduc-
ton Of Is per cent than one of ten per cent.
Mr.. Dawes opposed the amendment.
After good deal of discussion and dila-
tory voting, Mr.. Kerr's and other amend
ments in the same direction were rejected.
Without having made any progress W hat
ever on the bill, the committee rose and the
House adjourned.

The fireworks were selected with great
care and the different pieces viii be shown
as they occur on the list. At least three
of them will be sent off at a time, and the
display will last about an hour and will
commence at s o'clock p. m. exactly.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
under its efficient chief Capt. VIM. Stocked
will make a grand display Wednesday
night. At given signal the fire alarm viii
be sounded from the various signal stations
in the city, Whereupon the entire depart
ment finely equipped in their beautiful uni
form and FURNISHED accOutrements will
prom tly answer to the call. The engines
will raise steam and make direct for the
Exposition building around which the en-
gines will take respective positions, and
commence throwing water. The actual
working of the fire department Illustrating
the manner in which it is conducted during
a fire win be made. This sight will be a
great entertainment to large number OF
persons and especially to ladies. capt;
Stockell has his men under fine drlu and
the display will be made with all the sup
posed excitement attending The operation
of fire engines during great fire.
When the alarm of fire is made We trust
our citizens will not be alarmed, and that
none of our many and ever faithful In,
surapce friends will become uneasy and
make nervous perambulatlon OF tne
streets. Should they feel, however, IN
clined to walk or even to ride, the Expo
sition viii be the place.
A large bonfire will be kindled near the
Exposition, and the engines will work on
this. Thursday night there will be grand
sUNDAY-sCHOOL CONCERT,

been eaualled here before in this city and
the occasion will be one of unusual interest
TO the large number of visitors In attend
ance. The children will be placed on the
gallery near the large Organs which
with the brass band will form the
orchestra. That this entertainment
will be of magnitude surprising all former
efforts, if any of this kind have been made
in Nashville need not be argued; the mere
announcement that this concert is to take
place viii sss5ract thousands Of our best and
most appreciative people to the Exposition.
