IT CAUSES 4 SENSATION.

1t is hard to describe the sensation the above
dispatch has caused. In all the hotels to- night
it is being discussed, and at the clubs it is the
sole TOPIC. 1t is felt that the dispatch, instead
OF being an ordinsry piece of news, and tlans-
mitted IN the usual way, is a feeler thrown out
by the Presioent-elect through his friends to
draw from Cans dian and American papers ex-
pIessions of option on the matter, in order that
from these he may obtain such an idea as will
enable him TO act intelligently on the question.
The Liberal party OF Canada is committed to
unrestricted reciprocity, or free trade, with the
United Sta'es, the more radical being i'll favor
OF whst thew call commercial union, when
term barely DISCUSSES annexation. The Conserv-
atives, who are now in power, are unalterably
opposed to free trade, commercial union or sny
form Of annexation whatever.
