 TORONTO, Ont, August 30.-Five thou sand persons assembled at HAzersville. Ontario. yesterday to listen to s political address from Sir Hector Langevin. minister of public works, and Sir John Thompson, minister Of Justice.
 Both the speeches were significant, being the first uttersncus of public ministers since President Olevelsnd's message on the fisheries, SIr Hector sketcEed the history of the fisheries dispute and said the United States Fell back on the treaty of ISIS of her own accord and that Canada was maintain ing her Iust riKhis.
 He sa d that American fishermen bad long ago given up the right to haul their hsh over Canada railways, and ID consideration of Lsrbrsdor's fishing ad- ysntages the United States could not expect to have all the concessions made on Csnadas side.
 He thought that many of the hard names and words spoken against Cana ds were unjust. The country was terri torially larger than the United States. T1.s.w- l., . I. z which, at least, better than uf the United States; for one thing a minis .ry directly responsible to her people.
 Sir John Thomps- sad that while l tbe liberals had been preaching Abou | better trade relation with the United | States, President Cleveland snd the sen | ate had taken council together to find | out how best 10 hEra-s Canada.
 He was sincerely glad for the good | the presidents message had done ID | his country, it had evoked the national | Canada we're in EU il4Go,,. .''-- .S the dictstion of any foreign power.
 He admitted that the President of the | United States was great statesmen | and WAS st the heed of great nation | snd that the words he uttered were oi great responsibility. Tie policy O. this | country should b. Of great prldence | and desire to conci.iste rgther than IT. ri.ate. If the United Ststes chose Co go | back to the treaty Of ISIS and its pro- visions being enforced was nothing un- friendly, the means of retaliation pro posed was & withdrawal of the privilege | to bond goods through the United | States to Canada. This privilege was secured from them by article 29 of the | al rs.lk krua. years notice by terms of the treaty be- | fore any article could be suspended. No | notice of that kind has been given and | Cleveland regardless of tho sacred Ob- | ha stions of the treaty proposed tO end | this privilege without notice and a. a slngle stroke. He thought this was sn | argument arsins. commercial union | with the United States. The next time | Canada got ID whirl of American pol | ltics every vital interest of the country 1 would be sacrified to win the votes of 6 few wards ID New York city. The Presidents message IS an interruption thar puts a fatal mark across the page Of unrestricted reciprocity and leads the people of Canada 10 indorse the policy which says i've can live without Amer icau railways and steamship lines Rnd live in comparative comfort even If the United States will not deal with us or trade with us st all.

 ST. PAUL. August 3O-Crep reports to the Pioneer Press do not materially modify the forecast of lssI week. liar vesting IS going on along the line ot the Northern Pacific and Manitoba, and the weather IS clear and has been SO Tor sev- eral days.

The weekly crop re- port of the Northern Pacific railroad, says: |. is thought that the frost did not affect the yIeld materially. It seemi to have been confined to certain spois.
