Sir John and the Treaty.

A short meeting Of the cabinet was held at
OTTAWA and the presidents message and it's
probable results was again informally dis
sussed, without any positive action be-
mg taken. Sir John Macdonald said that
he will not recede from the position he has
taken, and that he is in that fully sustained
by the British government He believes
that out of evil good will come as by
adopting a policy of retaliation toward
Canada the United States will be
forcing tine dominion to become self
reliant and dependent on her own re-
sources, which would certainly develop I'M
der such policy. The willy old premier is
very reticent as to what line of action his
government will follow, preterring to hold
back and watch developments before declar-
ng his policy forthe future. Several members
Df the cabinet favor submitting the question
IN dispute between the United States and the
dominion to neutral tribunal for settlement.

A number of tailors in New York
have recently been victimized by a
smooth gang of sharpers, who con-
duct their theiving operations with
great success. A pair OF them enter
store, and while one of them has
his measure taken for a suit of
clothes the other, who usually carries
an overcoat on his arm, manages to
slip bolt of cloth under it and dis
appears. The scheme is worked with
SO much gentlemanly assurance and
boldness that it takes the tailor
some time to account for the loss of
his cloth.

Death of Richard A. Proctor,

The startling announcement is made that
the eminent astronomer, Richard A. Proctor,
died in New York, ofyellowfever. Hereached
that c. ~ on Monday, Sept. 10, having Travelled
by raii1rom his farm called Oak Lawn in Flori-
da. His family remained at Oak Lawn and
he came alone. 1t was his intention to sail
for England in the steamer Umbria on Satur-
day, and his passage on the vessel had been
engaged. Upon his arrival in New York he
went to the Westminster hotel where he had
been guest on many previous occa-
slons. He was assigned to room SS, a
large apartment of the secondfoor He was
not feeling we'll when he went to bed in the
evening, but he thought hisindisposition vas
the result Of his long railroad journey. On
Tuesday morning he was much worse and
Mrs. Schenck, the wife of the landlord, ad-
vlsed him to consult a physician. Prof
Proctor said he did not think such step
was necessary.
Knowing that Prof, Proctor had Travelled
directly from Florida, Mr. Schenck became
suspicious and summoned DR.. George S. Co
nant, who examined Prof. Proctor and said
he would like to call in another physician to
assist in the diagnosis. Mr.. Schenck said he
would advise consulting the health board
and DR.. Conant sent word to DR.. Edison,
chief Inspector of contagious diseases, who
responded promptly to the summons. The
two experts made q careful examination
and also called DR.. Jacobs in
consultation knowing that he had experience
in yellow fever cases. Prof Proctor had a
high fever and his skin had q yellowish color.
He also vomited at interya ais, but the physi-
clans could not be certain that he was suffer
ing from yellow fever He told the physicians
that he had not been near Jacksonville nor
any other yellow fever center, and so far as
he knew had not been exposed to the disease.
A clean bill of health had been
given to him when he left Florida
The physicians knew that if he had yellow
lever he probably was passing into the con-
dition known as remission" when the pa
tient seems to be getting well. They thought
ltwould be safe to remove him to q hospital
while he WAS in favorable condition of
strength before an expected relapse occurred,
When informed of the decision to remove him
to a hospital Prof. Proctor eheerfully con-
sented. He had been told Of the suspicious
which the physicians entertained, but he did
not seem to lose his cheerfulness and ex-
pressed the belief that his trouble would not
prove to be yellow fever. Next morning
DR.. Priest, the resident physician
at the Willard Parker hos
pital noticed a change for the worse in Prof
Proctor's condition. Eminent physicians
We're in attendance on the invalid all day, and
every possible effort was made to save or
prolong the life of the gifted astronomer.
Late in the afternoon the physicians had
decided that he was a victim of the yellow
fever. There was no more room for doubt
when the black vomit made its appearance
Until he lost the power ofspeech Prof. Proctor
did not lose his nerve or give up hope. His
death was preceded by commissions peculiar
+ to the disease.

Judge Greer Declines.

Judge James Greer, has addressed letter
to the National Committee of the American
party declining the nomination for Vice
President Of the United States. He says:
| feel constrained to resign. l am in favor
OF restricting both immigration and natural
ization, but I cannot go the extent of the
convention in believing it was to uncondi-
tionally repeal our naturalization laws.
The effect of this would be to prevent any
foreign-born person from ever becoming an
American citizen. 1t cannot be healthy
thing for any nation to have a large part of
it's population madeup of resident aliens who
can never hope to take any part in the MAX
ing of laws under which they must be taxed
and to which they must submit their per-
sonal liberty. I hold that the immigrant
who has renowned all allegiance to any for
eign power, who accepts the spirit of our
constitution and laws, should have held out
to him the proud honor of American citizen
ship, by keeping out all who do not furnish
evidences before they come ofprobably adopt
ing in heart and mind this ambition and by
requiring them after they come and have re-
sided some years among us to make this
probability a judicial certainty by proof in a
court of justice. We will keep America for
Americans. The convention leaves the pub
lie to infer it is immaterial whether we reduce
the tariff taxation to the basis of the actual
need of the nation or whether we shall let the
idle surplus in the treasury
To this cannot subscribe / have been
taught that protection, rightly understood,
simply means a payment of q bonus by all
our citizens to a few of our citizens
to engage in certain Industrial pur-
suits. Under the name and gllise of pro-
tecting Workingmen, we are paying to their
employers premium and filing the treasury
with unused money without benefit to the
Workingman or to the nation at large.
