Hon. VIM. MCDoUGAL addressed his constit-
uents on Dominion politics Wednesday night
He said, in referring to the treaty of Washing
ton, that it was the duty of the Parliament of
the Dominion to endorse the action of England
whatever it might be so long as the Dominion
held allegiance to the mother country. Mr.
McDougal argued that the maritime provinces
were satisfied with the fishery clauses of the
Washington treaty, and it was not for Ontario
to raise disturbances about it. He considered
the Importance of the concession made to the
United States in this matter greatly overrated.
As to the navigation of the St. Lawrence, he
held it to be to the advantage of Canada to
allow Americans equal rights, and that in point
of international law they were entitled to it
any way. He argued that the Imperial Gov
and that in attacking it they were attacking
them He dilated at some length upon the adj
vantages of the treaty, dwelling fully upon the
argument that its adoption would be a guaran-
tee of peace with the United States, and would
remove many irritating causes which now ex-
listing which might at any time lead to serious
complications.

IHE Travellers Washington special says the
resolution of Mr.. Peters relative to the with
drawal of our claims for the indirect damages of
the Alabama is exciting considerable comment
at Washington, and correspondents are busy
endeavoring to show it to be back down from
our policy in relation to consequential damages.
Having the whole truth from official sources.
and having this morning sought interviews
with members of the Cabinet for the purpose
of ascertaining the facts, am prepared to say
that the resolution in question was the product
solely of Mr. Peters brain, and was unauthor
lied in any way by the administration, for he
perfected It without consulting either the Presi-
dent, Secretary of State or other members of
the Cabinet and the first intimation received
of it at the White House was through its publ
cation in the press. 1t does not represent the
views of the administration. We stand COM
mitted to the policy of entire reliance upon the
arbitration at Geneva, and shall do precisely as
Great Britain refused to do for us on the cotton
loan bonds, decline to withdraw our claim for
indirect damages.
