LORD LANsDowNE.
He speaks about the Proposed Treaty
with the United states.

OTTAWA. MAY I6.-Lord I.ansiowne
in speech last night spoke in high
terms eff his connection with the peo-
pie Of Canada. He spoke in glowing
terms Of the completion of the Can
atlian Pacific railroad Relative 10 the
resent proposal for close trade rela-
tons with the United States he said
he would not consider the question Of
financial benefit To- Canada or sean the
motives of those who made the pro.
posal, but he pointed out tha, IT would
give another country benefits from
which the people Of .Great Britain
would be excluded, and suggested that
apart from the injury to the trade
they would consider il a moral asfront
as there are other proposals of fiscal
union on the part OF the empire. He
objected To it ON the ground of the
difficulty of working caused by the ex-
istlng diyergences OF views ON the sub
iect of tariffs and taxation in the diff
ferent parts OF the empire and the de-
sire of portion for a fan and local
control OF the governments affairs.
He believed that Canada held that
her relationship with the mother
country was beneficial to her and she
had no desire 90 change it.

The state Convention Assemblies at
Portland.

PORTLAND, Maine, May IL. - The
Prohibition state convention was con-
tinued this morning. After religious
exercises the greetings OF the eonven-
ton were sent to the prohibitory con
ventions of Illinois and North Caro-
lima W. W. Perry and c. d. Crane
were chosen delegates to the national
convention. The platform atiirms that
the traffic in alcoholic drinks endangers
the public morals and safety, and is 4
fruitful source of corruption in poll
tics. The license laws perpetuatc the
traffic, and are wrong in principle.
Prohibitlon as state and
national policy Is the true method of
procedure against the saloon. The
Democratic and Republican parties
have neither the disposition nor abii-
ity TO overthrow the saloon. The en-
tire separation of the government
from the liquor traffic requires the
abolition of the internal revenue on
liquors. The present tariff should be
revised in order To cheaper the neces-
sites OF hie and il can be hest revised
by a commission. The platform also
endorses the Australian system OF
secret voting and denounees the Sec
tional issues in politics and approves
the work Of the Women's Christian
IcmIerance Union
